Kaleena Stats

[phil sampieri]

How about this- Kaleena tied for the team lead with 13 steals-shooting 61.5% from 3- 46% from 2
Read this- you know who you are.

It's because she is slow enough of foot that teams trying to pass the ball behind her misjudge her pace throw it right to her.

 

[Icebear]

Yes, that is sarcasm.

 

[Kibitzer]

Yes, that is sarcasm.

ahem.

A most sinful trait, especially publicly and anonymously.

Ah, taking a page from the Maria Conlon playbook - lull 'em into complacency, then, strike!

Sarcasm is not a sin, bad sarcasm is.

 

[alexrgct]

What about irony?

 

[Icebear]

Irony is left for the day after I do the laundry.

It was fun last night to hear the entire GB bench yelling at their players on defense, "23!!!," WATCH OUT for 23!
Not 4, not 12, not 11, not 30, 41 or 3, but 23! Even the announcers caught up on it.

Nothing like a good joke.

And yes, that was nothing like a good joke.

I know the subject has been beaten to death but I watched K very closely the last few nights in situ

She's a great, great shooter; will always be able to hit open shots and her D was not bad at all last night.
But K does not look right.

Geno mentioned after the Stanford debacle that she looks like she lost a step
She's not as active in the post or at the boards as last year.
And she's not going to be as attractive to the pros unless something radical happens.

[mod edit]
And I don't buy the body type interview she gave to Rebecca.

So I guess GB takes after Coach P?

I think that Geno's comments do not apply at all to how she played throughout the tournament. She was much more active. The number of steals she made were directly related to that effort.

I don't get it. KML leads the team in: 3FG pct, FT pct, pts/game, steals, and minutes. What else does she need to do to make everyone happy?

Doing it against Stanford - would have avoided all the controversy

 

[Icebear]

And it is very possible she was getting sick at that time.

 

[RadyLady]

Yeah. It stinks that she is human and prone to the flu and stuff like that....

what I believe is that there are folks who have no issues with Kaleena
And there are folks who see problems.

That is the nature of folks. And that is not going to change.

For the record, I side with the folks who have no problem with the way she is playing...a lot of what she does on the court does not show up in the stat sheet.

So my friend, I will agree to disagree with you.

Do you see any other types of folk out there? Or just these two?

This is essentially an attempt by one of the primary protagonists to revive the thread that was closed on Friday with 189 posts.

The only thing that -- perhaps -- makes it viable again is that three more games are on the books since then.

The thing that will make it non-viable again, and quicker this time, is disrespect toward each other's opinions.

That said, carry on.

 

[HoopsFan21]

No kidding. If I'm sick I can barely sit in my chair and focus on the computer screen in front of me, never mind run up and down a court for 2 hours.

Honestly? I don't spend a lot of time on the types of folks out there. I posted what I felt was appropriate for me in this thread. that's all

I was one of the BYers who argued in favor of K but have come to the conclusion that even with stats, proof etc, there are some nay sayers who get their jollies by being contrary Harry.So by not engaging them and ignoring them will ruin their day. I totally agree with you however.

Phil, with all due respect, your reference to naysayers getting their jollies is exactly what I'm talking about.

The thread has hardly begun and has already featured sarcasm, demeaning references and the topic of posters rather than a focus on the issue. These are not hopeful signs.

As far as the medical status in the Stanford game, BTW, we've already had implied assertions that it did and it didn't affect her game, when the reality is we don't know where it stood or how it affected her if at all.

I don't normally make multiple mod posts in a thread, and there's nothing awful about this one. I'm just using the thread to illustrate a current point of emphasis.

That point, to be more specific, is that we are seeking to improve on the board's receptivity to all points of view, including those some may regard as too "negative" as well as too "rah-rah."

That means civil, substantive disagreement, not attack posts -- which too often have an underlying suppressive intent -- in any of their forms.

And yes, that was nothing like a good joke.

Yup. Almost unbearable.
