Sobey haters need to /)(;!! up

I've been a fan of sobey since day one... He's not good at defense but he is as good as anyone on our team at getting to the rim
 
Normally even when he plays shitty he makes at least one shot that we need in the clutch :thumb:
 
Since MWC play has started Sobey has been awesome.
Big energy, realizing that Hank and Granberry aren't stepping up to take his job and is now playing with full confidence.
Playing some familiar foes in the MWC and he is stepping up.
 
I was hard on him earlier in the season when he wasn't contributing anything but I knew that he had the ability. Once he started driving to the hoop instead of just standing outside shooting 3s it started to turn around. Good for him. Im very happy with his play.
 
There are actually Sobey "haters"? LMAO if so - how ridiculous - to hate on any player that wears brown & gold!
 
man oh man are we spoiled, i want, i want type fans, in time we'll be truly fine, besides we don't want to be playing our best ball now, we need that end of Feb., 1st of March

I am most certainly not a hater of Sobey the person or Sobey the basketball player, I am a hater of Sobey the misser of point blank lay ups and Sobey the swiss cheese defender and Sobey the guy who cannot time a wide open rebound if his life depended on it. I just don't think he should see the minutes he does. I think you switch his minutes for Trey and we get at the very least better defense (even though I think Trey is a better shooter). Either way a win is a win and I will give credit where credit is due, Sobey had a great second half and was a big reason we hung around and were in a place to win. Hopefully last night will be a spark to get his season jump started. GO POKES!
 
I have always liked Sobey. I have said the whole year he should be starting as he and Adams are the two best players at getting to the basket and creating off the drible to get their own shot.

My one problem with Sobey though is sometimes late in a game he forces things and gets a silly turnover like last night when we were up 3 and he drove the lane with 2 defenders on him and fell down losing the ball and got an offensive foul called on him. No reason to force it there. But That is the type of player he is. He likes to make things happen and is aggressive so I can't really fault him for that. He has a lot more positives than negatives and has picked it up in conference play which is great to see.
 
I stand by what I said. He is a poor defensive player. But yes, he did make some good plays last night. I can't begrudge him that.
 
We are on a 3 game win streak in part because of Sobey picking up all the slack that Grabau has left since he has been MIA, Anyone that hates on Sobey might as well be wishing for us to lose because without him we would be 0-5.

Grabau is 1-13 from the field and 0-12 from the arc, He has 5 boards, 3 assists and 5 turnovers.

Sobey is 12-22 from the field and 1-4 from the arc, He has 9 boards, 7 assists and 8 turnovers.

If anyone should be bitching about anyone getting too much time on the floor currently it should be Grabau. Three games in a row he has been completely useless as a player. I'm not saying bench him but split bench time with him and others until he gets back to his shooting ways he isn't doing anything useful.
 
I can link at lest 5-6 threads this week talking about why does he get floor time and talking about how bad he is. That is the definition of hating.

I searched the word "sobey"...it took me a while but i finally found some hate earlier in the month. found pretty much all praise since conference play started.
