Tigernet will be removing lots of posts today...

because if you write about a player, for example Milton Jennings, and you say something that is seen as critical of such an individual player, for example if you were to say: that a player has the hands of a 5 year old or is a walking turnover or must only be a practice player because for every one good thing he does in a game there are 3 bad. ...
then the post would more than likely be removed.
I wonder what people are writing right now about this Clemson basketball game.
Perhaps we will never really know.
Egads.

they can't see Clemson losing in this game is more because of the missed FTs and inconsistent shooting than Jennings.
KJ just missed an easy layup to prove my point.

One is a senior, the other is a sophomore who is already a better player than Jennings will ever be.

I don't doubt that, but that's not the point.

The reason we are losing ISN'T JUST BECAUSE of Jennings. But if you read this board, that's what most of the posts are.

there is a player who rarely seems to be using his head and playing SMART basketball and basketball with his heart and head.
If you just heard the announcer speak about it, having to get such player to get out of his homerun trot after hitting a 3.
That player needs someone to kick him in the A$$. If his feelings are hurt by fans who see what is actually occurring, then the player may need to toughen up and look in the mirror.
This player did not lose the game, but if you watch his film in this game, I bet you will find more negatives than positives. This player is a Senior and a supposed leader... but the last "title" is ludicrous based on his recent arrest.
I think he should be benched until he wakes up and realizes that he has talent that could help Clemson.

He had an affect on the ending, no doubt.

but he's not the reason we lost. We couldn't hit FTs in the 2nd half, we couldn't make layups, we couldn't/can't rebound, we only have Booker as a consistent weapon. There are more negatives than positives with the team as a whole. Not just Jennings. Jennings is not going to be the 5 star player he was incorrectly projected to be, we all know that. Harping on that fact during EVERY game makes this board look retarded.
I'm ok with complaining about Jennings play at the end of this game, if that's the context you put your complaint in. But saying he's the reason we lost that game is ignorant.

I agree that if someone said it it would be dumb.
You may have jumped to conclusions. My post blamed no one.
I know why we lost. I also know who did not play well during much of the game - beginning - middle and end. I think we should be able to say that and not get lambasted.
Boxscore: 5 turnovers, 10 points (3 - 6, but 3-5 3pt) FT 1-2 1 block, 2 Steals, 2 Assists, 5 rebounds 4 fouls This player was responsible for 15% of our points, 50% of our 3Pt shots, we made 6 of 20. 38% of the turnovers. He had 5 turnovers while the other four starters (combined) had 5. 3 of those starters are Sophomores.
Perhaps this player should ask to be a wing/SF.. the only problem is he has not worked on his ball-handling to be effective. If he could hang around the three point line and wait for open shots, then perhaps he would be stellar.

I do not see that in one of our Seniors. He did not lose the game for Clemson. Far from it.
But when leadership and smart basketball was needed at a critical juncture, the Senior did not look like a Senior, did he?

That's not what your argument was originally.

I have no problems with that context.
I'm disappointed that Jennings never became the great player he was projected to be, but he is still a big part of the team and still helps the team.

My argument?

I actually made a statement and assumption that Tigernet will be removing a lot of posts today.
We all saw the same game and know what some posts will be about. They exploded at the end of the game.

Add to the fact we had plenty of chances to make it closer than 5 earlier in the game and didn't. Play in the final minute didn't determine that game. We didn't do enough to win, and it is not all on Jennings.

No one said it was. I certainly did not, but we all saw the same thing.
i think you can call out someone and not blame them for everything.
The announcers did after our guy hit the 3 with 4 seconds to go.
Does their comment mean the player was the reason Clemson lost?

Very true, but none of the other players are called waste of spaces and have people call for their benching all the time. Notice how no one blamed Rod Hall on the inbound pass? Milton wasn't the first or second option on that play to start.
If people viewed Milton Jennings with the expectations they had for Raymond Sykes, the board wouldn't blow up like it did.

back on TNet for a short spell to catch up on the news and notes. True to form, I've not been disappointed in the, shall we say, "flavor" of the site, which reenforces my faith in the mental acuities of my fellow Tigers!

Perhaps... but I find it funny that you can write something that is factually accurate and not opinion and it gets removed.
If some players cannot hear the truth, then maybe they have other issues.
A guy could be a great student, not get arrested, do the right things, be a good teammate, not argue with coaches, etc.... but at the same time, the same guy could really be slow footed, poor freethrow shooter, or very prone to turnovers... on this board... you could not say it even if it was fact.

now, you want to get flowery, you'll probably find the pooper because people have different ideas of what constitutes a personal attack.
