Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4063935, member: 26"] In fairness, I'm betting every single player in the W has had games where they looked "over the hill". Horrible shooting nights, lack of energy, poor defense, bad passes, you name it. But it seems (not directed at you) that sometimes people are "harder" on Dee because she's almost 40. "Player X blew by Dee - she can't defend any more". "Dee had numerous turnovers. She can't pass any more". "Dee went 0-fer on 3's. She can't shoot any more". "She's not good enough for Team USA. Give her spot to someone younger" As for injury prone, is it possible to say Stewie is more injury prone than Dee at this point? And this is NOT a criticism of Stewie - a year ago, her Achilles injury. This year she missed games twice due to injuries, and once to take personal time. My point is, do people want to attach the "injury prone" tag to Dee perhaps because it's late in her career? Yet she was on the floor for the 1-game playoff vs. Seattle playing with a bum ankle and helped lead her team to the win. Where was Stewie? Now, Dee's ankle probably isn't 100%, but she goes out and drops a cool 37 in an epic performance in a playoff game. Side note - i'm not criticizing Stewie. Just trying to make a point... It's not like Dee hurt herself in a non-basketball related situation, or tweaked her knee or something driving to the basket. She took a shot and came down on a defender's foot. It happens a lot in the league - one of the main reasons why it's now a foul to get too close and get your foot under the shooter - to prevent these kind of injuries... IMHO that's not an "over the hill" or "injury prone" situation... [/QUOTE]
