As much as I dislike ND, I really admire Jewell Loyd. She is the only non-UConn player that I wish wonderful things for. I also believe 100% she will lead the Irish back to the championship game next year. I wish she had chosen UConn.
I really like Loyd as an athlete and as a young lady of great character. Can't think of another recruit in the last 10 years that I was more disappointed about not attending UConn. I don't know if anyone else noticed her congratulating our team at the end of the game-really classy! I look...
As good as Candace Parker is, there is something there that is lacking-besides a WNBA title. Is it that grit and constant intensity that UConn demands of it's players. She should be right up there in conversation with Diana and Maya in terms of talent and championships but she's not. Why? I...
I went back and forth yesterday on my decision to attend the game. Ultimately, I decided against it. Four children ranging in ages from 3-11, an hour and a half commute, and a 9 PM start time was just too much. If this was a 7 o'clock game, this family of 6 would have been present last night...
I agree with your assessment that one poor game does not determine your run in a tournament, however, I don't believe this Tennessee team has what it takes to make it to the FF. I recall watching Candace Parker's senior year games while at Tennessee and being quite unimpressed by some of them...
I may be in the minority but I am really hoping that Tennessee can hold on long enough to make it to the FF. I would love to watch UConn dismantle them. After today's performance, I highly doubt they make it that far.
Hello Boneyarders. I was hoping for some suggestions on videos/links for grade school kids. I have a fourth grader that can shoot and has a pretty good handle (for a very tall kid), but I am looking for something that really explains offense and defense. Any suggestions would be greatly...
How could you miss it?! She started that fast break with the steal on the other end and was the fastest player down the court with the pretty finish. Maya never takes a play off! Simply amazing!
I did go back and check and you are correct she did fall on that play, but still my opinion that a foul should have been called. When Maya returned to position, Diana gave her a shove and then was called for the foul. 2 shots by Diana that were uncalled for but you are right that Maya played...
Maya did not flop on that play. Diana gave her a good shove under her chin and caused Maya to jerk her head back and stumble but no flop. It 100% should have been a foul. I love Diana as everyone else but she has a questionable attitude to put it nicely.
They are both phenomenal players but I am not sure how anyone can say DT is better than Maya-sorry I just don't agree. They both will be starters on National team and the Olympics, I think we can all agree. Maya's numbers this year are incredible while Diana's are very, very good. In my...
There were some no calls for both teams last night, and a very bad travel call on Seimone that resulted in a 3 pointer for Phoenix on the very next play.
It was an ugly game but the better team won last night. I have really enjoyed watching the offense of the Mercury this year but give...
I am loving BG this year. Actually I am loving how Phoenix is utilizing her talents this year. She could be the X factor that Phoenix needs IF they consistently go to her.
The stars will shine tonight! I think it will be a close one that is too hard to predict. The two most beloved UCONN players go head to head in what I hope will be a nail biter!
Very fair points about Maya's personality. I didn't ever consider the "face" from that perspective KnightBridgeAZ.
I was referencing BG in my previ0us post because ETT first implied that Maya had not paid her dues like Candace. In a later post, they campaigned for Griner to be the face of the...
Maya hasn't paid her dues to be considered the face of the WNBA but BG has?
Let's put aside the multiple championships Maya has won in her 3 seasons. Let's put aside the many items put up for auction from Maya's personal memorabilia that garners donations for worthy causes. Let's put aside the...
ETT I think we have to be fair when comparing stats. You left out the 3 categories that Maya is clearly ahead of Taurasi. You did give a mention to points but Diana isn't even close to Maya in this category. Rebounding-Maya the winner by a large margin. You also mentioned that Griner is #1...
I understand Rebecca's argument as well but it hasn't played out that way in that past. If that were the case, Maya should have won the award last year because she was the best player on the most dominant team, that also had the best record. Instead the award went to CP.
My vote is for Maya...
I am not sure why everyone keeps commenting about Maya carrying the scoring load like that is a bad thing. Minny is without their #2 and #4 scoring option. What would the proper response be? Don't leaders score when there aren't any other scoring options? Why is that commented on like it is...
Another one for the books for Maya in today's game against Tulsa. 32 points, 5 assists, 9 rebounds. Her 9th 30+ game of the season on 10-18 shooting. I am really enjoying watching her this season!
That is why I included efficiency rating. Even though she can score more points in 4 mpg, she can also turn the ball over more or miss shots taken. Take note that Maya is ranked #1 in efficiency.
As far as LA, they always come on stronger the second half of the year and they keep games...
I think being in first place in the west this year will be a disadvantage. If rankings stay the same, Phoenix will have to go through L.A. and then Minnesota to get to the finals. Minnesota will face San Antonio and the winner of L.A./Phoenix. I don't believe the Spark's record is indicative...
