Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 5311009, member: 1997"] This game is far from "too rough". Go back and look at the early years of the WNBA. From the inception of the league up until 2008 range. Now that was some "rough" play. Going back to the Lisa Leslie/Lauren Jackson battles. It is interesting that during that era, especially with those two titans of the game, the physical play was horrendous, but it wasn't hyped like it is these days. The media attention wasn't as focused back then like now. Heck there was very little attention on the women's game back then vs now, until the playoffs when games got aired on ESPN or ABC and fans got to see the level of physical play. In the end, this current game is far from "too rough". Go back and look at some old games of the Detroit Shock. The Utah Starzz. The Sacramento Monarchs. The Phoenix Mercury. Pretty much every WNBA team played "physical", and players adjusted. [/QUOTE]
