Paige and some real rest.

[Blueconn]

For nearly 3 years she’s taken nary a day away from hardwood…from the bottom (knee) to being champion. The bang and cry physicality of the W must be exhausting. A little vacation with feet up is overdue.She’s made her case. Bueckers is better ! Go rest that tendinitis.

I've been thinking about that as well.
Better that the Wings are not in the play-offs
She's had 2 sub-par games since the great explosion
Must be exhausted.

Cut her minutes and give her a couple DNPs....let's see which players wanna have the drive and heart to play for their jobs next year

After Wednesday's game against the Sun (who have won 3 in a row), the Wings have 4 consecutive road games. Paiges two best games have been on the road. I remember Paige once stated that she loves road games because she likes to silence the crowd, and any adversity she receives just motivates her more.

Here is the flip side:

Paige is from the Minneapolis area. On Monday September 1st, the Dallas Wings travel and play the Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis. Undoubtedly, there are thousands of little girls who've convinced their parents to purchase tickets to that game so that they can watch their idol play. So, for those thousands who've already purchased non-refundable, $200 tickets x 3, plus a space in a $30 parking lot, how do you think they would they feel about the suggestion of, "let's just sit Paige for the rest of the season?"

For the record, Thursday September 4th, which would be the following game after Minnesota, the Dallas Wings travel to San Francisco and play the Golden State Valkyries. I know of at least two Paige Bueckers fan's who've already purchased tickets and a hotel room; I know how they feel about that philosophy, and they don't even have a nine-year-old daughter who idolizes Bueckers. Those two particular fans would much rather see Paige play half of minutes for the remaining six games than to simply shut her down completely for the rest of the season, Bayou Barbie style. Just say'in...
