Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3994043, member: 1673"] Some problems with this response: 1. While some may do as you suggest to look at C. Ogwumike’s Twitter, it is not our responsibility to do so, nor do I consider Twitter a good source for empirical reference, nor do I have a desire to use Twitter. In this case I suspect what is on that Twitter feed are several stats like efficiency or win shares that demonstrate NO’s worth, and it may indeed be the case that her worth surpasses Taurasi’s, but “go look it up” is a tactic used by many who gamble that will not happen. I don’t think that is the case here, but if you are passionate and certain enough about your case reliance on “go look it up” actually undermines it. 2. Your reply was in response to a claim that Auriemma can be absolved from bias. You are probably not addressing that at all, but certainly NO deserving to be on the team does not implicate Auriemma for keeping her off. 3. Taurasi has a small sternum fracture that she played with for a couple games before she was shut down for at least four weeks. That minimum of four weeks for a playable injury happens to be up today, the day of the announcement. NO has an injury that cannot be played on and it’s earliest rehabilitation is projected to be the very end of June, and could be as late as mid-July. The two injuries are not analogous at all.
