Put some respect on the man's name.

Just cuz y'all hate the way he plays, dude is ELITE. He makes us go on D. He's the reason our D is what it is. He took it upon himself to finish this game and he did that. So stfu about the young man. Dude won that damn game for us when everything was against us

I put some respect on that name on the way home from the Louisiana Tech game.

Dude stepped up tonight. Is a bit out of control with the ball but my goodness he does a lot of good things on the court.

Nice idea, but you went off the rails here:

Because this board is full of tards. He's the best on ball guard defender at LSU since Temple. He more than held his own tonight. Knocked down clutch FTs. He's not going to be a lottery pick but he's a helluva cbb player.

Butt, you had a great write up after the auburn game. Gaines and Murray are VASTLY under appreciated. Murray’s defense and mental toughness need to be respected as much as Gaines’ improvement especially since the tough game he had in auburn.

We all called for Reid to be tougher, and he has been. What a win tonight. We beat FL and the refs, with our 2nd team.

Good to see Shareef in there. Great game as well young man.

People just see the turnovers and have little regard for what he’s being asked to do on offense.

He's a twitchy athlete. You have to take the good with the bad that comes with that. People just need to realize he's more good than bad.

He's a bulldog on defense

Gaines is my baw, he’s so talented it’s scary, street baller but getting better every game. His one on one defending the ball is as good as gets.

Still needs a lot of development as a ball handler and passer.

I love Gaines’ game. Playmakers will always have a few wtf turnovers a game, so we shouldn’t make a thread every time he has one. He’s a baller and a huge part of our success this year.

I agree with almost everything you said but “elite” is a real stretch.

frick the people and "fans" that shite on Gains I know what I'm looking at and this kid plays hard every game and he really stepped up and brought it tonight when his team needed him with X out.

Oh, and frick those shitty refs!!!

Had his erratic play led to a loss this board would be very different right now

He's an elite basketball player

You want to put him in a box, but you can't. He's exceptional at ball handling, he's maybe better than any player in college basketball on defense, and he is able to create like few.

On the flip side he has some bad turnovers and bad shots sometimes. But again...he's an elite basketball player

Lol, he's a year and a half into college ball and you're acting like he should be a finished product. This board is full of morons.

You people have no idea about metrics and hidden plays. When we beat Kentucky, Wade/Pinson/Eason all said they won the game because Eric Gaines. Dude does things your minds couldn't fricking imagine.

He played damn near all game and took it over when it needed to be taken over. He is an elite basketball player

I know. Don't understand it. The positives far outweigh the negatives and he has been more under control since Auburn. He will always have his out of control moments but he did what he needed to do to finish the game and he is who you want on the FT line at the end of the game. Ice water baby.
