Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2800376, member: 5798"] I won't say that "Sweet Syl" (that's what she likes to be called now. She doesn't like BIG Syl anymore) is a dirty player, I'll stop right on the edge of that observation. I do think the league does need to take a serious look at all of her games this season, to see if she's doing that, and has developed a pattern or habit of using her elbow to clock her opponents. The game moves very fast. The referees can't see everything. They are trained to never watch the ball or they'll miss something. You can't see all of the pushing, grabbing and elbowing if you're watching the ball. The league should also inform all of it's referees of this, and tell them to watch for that particular violation whenever they work a Lynx game. If, she needs to be reprimanded by the league office. A 1 game suspension the next time it happens, and a 1 game suspension every time thereafter. She and her coach will get tired of her having to sit out a game, and [U]it will stop[/U]. Especially if you increase the number of games suspended after a certain number of occurrences. The Lynx are a completely different team when she's not on the floor. I think the finals will come down to the two teams with the best record, the Storm and the Sparks. The Storm will have home court advantage, and that may prove to be the edge the Storm needs to win the series. I don't think Minnesota will repeat as champions this year. Remember, they win the championship EVERY OTHER year. :cool: Tip in - [URL='http://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/24260550/technical-fouls-wnba']Technical fouls up in the WNBA this year.[/URL] "[I]I got a technical last week for a look at a referee.
