Vols vs Gators -- Official Game Thread (9:00 ESPN)

[SeanJean]

I never felt at any point in the game that we could or would win this game. this team is not fun to watch nor do I believe that they will get much better.

That sums up my thoughts pretty well too.

JP Smith was awesome. He was almost as good as CJ Lofton.

Not nearly as good as Dane Pearl or Stephen Bradshaw.

Maybe our strategy is to look terrible under all this controversy and the AA will feel pity for us.

Then why does every man he covers, beat him on the drive?

They don't wen he doesn't want them to or positions himself properly. He spends way to much time trying to angle for a steal rather than positioning for solid D. When he wants, he can D.

Goins needs some bench time. Give one of the other point guards a shot.

 

[VolGal423]

We've seen Golden a few times at point , right? I think Goins needs to prove he deserves it. Can't get much worse than it already is.

Goins is a good on ball defender the majority of the time. He's an awful, awful point guard on offense though. Just awful. He takes horrible shots, holds the ball too long, makes terrible decisions, and makes some of the most difficult passes I've ever seen.

That's why he struggled tonight.

I may not even watch on Saturday. My little heart can't take anymore Vol-related heart ache.

It's been bad. The snow combined with the "misery loves company" aspect has caused me to stick around here more than usual. Lol.

 

[Cartervol]

Goins is letting his man around him too much. If he's trying for the steal he needs to quit doing that. Unless.... he really likes being showed up by the other teams point guard. They've been running right by him for 4 or 5 games now. Time to try something different Melvin.

Someone else start the game thread on Saturday.

 

[Slydell]

I nominate Infinite_vol615. He started the Vols vs Memphis thread. Good results. Make it happen Freak.

I got 30 seconds in to that and had to shut it off. Uh, uh, uh, uh.....

On a side note, do you think our kids play any different in Thompson Boling than they do in HPER???

 

[volberry]

Ok this is sad. We have a ghetto *** staff. Who is he gonna outcoach. If he is Bruces #1 then the rest have to be awful.

 

[NYTERP34]

Can someone tell me why we were subbing Goins in for OFFENSE and Golden for DEFENSE? Did CTJ confuse the two?

He almost seems like he is gonna fall asleep in this presser. "Tobias posted another...uhhhh...double double.....uhhhhh"

Don't think John Wooden could have done much with this group. We're just not very good.
