The hate Gaines gets on here is ridiculous. He brings A LOT to this team. You can bet your arse off though that whenever he has a turnover that there will be 10 threads about it. He's the player the idiots on here have all jumped in to hate on.

The turnovers honestly don't bother me with Gaines simply because he gets a lot of those possessions back by being a solid rebounder for his position and generating tons of steals and easy transition buckets. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that he doesn't need to improve on protecting the ball, but it's not really infuriating to me when he positively contributes so much. The most aggravated I've been at Gaines was him attempting 7 3-Pointers against Auburn.

In SEC play:
FLA | 4 TO; 0 STL; 4 REB; season high 15 points w/ no Pinson
TENN | 5 TO; 4 STL; 2 REB
UK | 3 TO; 4 STL; 2 REB
AUB | 5 TO; 0 STL; 5 REB
