re: Why the Gray hate?

Gray has a million turnovers per game dude

He has 25 assist too 11 TOs in sec play. Not 1st team all American but not terrible either.

he and to a lesser degree, the rest of the team turn the ball over like M-Fers. This has been the pattern all year.

Big guys bringing the ball down low and getting stripped or tied up in the post again and again...that is very frustrating to watch.

25 assists compared to 11 turnovers, but it's almost always bad...your delusion about Martin being an all-star in the NBA, then turn around and say gray is straight awful yet their stats aren't they far apart in sec play

Gray was awful vs Mizzou
Gray was awful vs A&M

Quit sugar coating shite.

Martin was awful against Mizzou
Martin was awful against Georgia
Martin was awful against A&M

ALL-STAR. But he gets a pass. TQ was 3/13 with a 3/5 ast:to ratio the last week. I'm just wondering why everything is Gray's fault every game

I think slowing it down and taking high % shots rather than launching 3's w/ 25 seconds on the shot clock is a good start.

No, we need to keep the fast pace. That is our best basketball.

However, you're right about the higher % shots. When the defense gets back, we don't need to settle for a quick 3.

I actually think he played poorly in that game. 7 turnovers and the game winning layup was honestly a defensive breakdown on WVU's part.

He did play very well against UMASS though

He still had 8 turnovers against UMass in that game.

Is Gray completely to blame for this team's issues? Absolutely not. However, he is the PG and has the ball in his hands more than anyone else on the team. Couple that with the fact that LSU's offense is a complete unorganized mess most of the time, he is forced to make plays for he and everyone else. That has a tendency to lead to some really poor plays on his part and this team just can't afford them. The structure of the offense doesn't generate many great shots. That is amplified when they run into good defensive teams like A&M.

You can tell that Gray has really good court vision. The downside is that not everyone else shares that same vision. He throws a lot of no look passes to where he anticipates a teammate should be. The problem is that teammate isn't there to receive it.

Still, I put the TO issue directly on Jones' shoulders. LSU leads the SEC in TOpg and has been near the bottom of the league in that category for the last 2 years. There is obviously no emphasis to fix the issue. Otherwise it would be fixed. There are stretches of LSU basketball games that look like AAU games. There isn't much organization and guys are just going up and down the court trying to make plays on their own.

If we are using that logic we can hate on lots of our team

Im saying despite hes performance TQ Keith and Jarrell were worse than him but yet he gets the blame. If tq and keith played their average game we would have won easily.
