Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4433238, member: 10435"] Horrible. I remember that play and watched it again just now. The Texas defender whose pass was stolen by Dorka didn't want that beautiful 2 on 1 fast break with Nika to be a highlight so she just hacked down on Dorka. It was a nasty play and she knew exactly was she was doing. Was it an intentional, hard foul so she doesn't complete the play and make her look bad for the errant pass? 1000%. Was it directed to her previously injured wrist and with awareness of last year's injury? Who knows. I do know this. It was designed not to steal or block the ball but only to prevent the shot. You can tell by the defender's reaction after. I'm not suggesting it was flagrant except that if Dorka had reacted like it did break her thumb and not just momentarily injured it, they may have looked at it. [/QUOTE]
