Gaines is a good player, no question, but he's not immune to fair critique.
Never said he wasn't immune. He should be immune to "Eric Gaines fricking sucks, he's a liability, he's awful" comments tho

I believe he and the rest of the team were humbled against Auburn.
Was proud of how much improved the team was from that loss.

At one point in the Auburn game, he was something like 1-22 for his previous 3-pointers. If you're not making 3s, take less of them and go to the rack.
Then, of course, he's 2-2 from beyond the arc last night!
Shot selection was much better. I think Wade's talk with him worked. Take 3's when wide open or your defender is not even pretending to contest. Otherwise, take it to the hole or pass and cut

that, and if you ever take a step back 3, you're coming out of the game.

I think The only people who don’t get why Gaines plays are people who haven’t watched a game.
Just look at box scores. I have a 3 month old baby so I hadn’t seen that many games till recently, and I didnt get it.
That being said, his offense needs to be less than a black hole for the team to flourish

I bet he would be a lock down Corner back

When he shot that 3 me, my son and everyone around sis was saying “Nooooooo”, then it dropped and we all cheered

I love Gaines..but doesn’t mean I should want him to shoot 10 3-pters a game

I don't know how anyone could watch him play and think to themselves "this guy sucks".
Explanation: We have a lot of running dumbasses who don't know squat about basketball and, because of that, think every player should make every shot, grab every rebound, or steal every pass. Otherwise, the player isn't any good.

if you've played basketball at any level, you know you love a guy like EG as a teammate
a guard of smaller forward on the other team gets hot and is dominating, Eric will gladly in his chest for 84/94 feet and change the tempo of the game

You nailed it. Annoying little bitches.

Freak athlete, so quick twitch with great defensive instincts. Can get in the paint on anyone too… it’s his decision making when he gets there that is frustrating for fans. He’s my favorite player on the team though. And I think he’d be a a great DB (coulda used him last night!)

With Gaines you have to take all the good with the bad.

Tremendous improvement from last season where he was pretty weak

My FIL is an ex-boxer and coach. He watches Eric's hand speed and salivates. In another life this kid could be a gold gloves and welterweight champion.
