STEWIE!!! 38 points in a big win

A fine analysis and catalogue of Stewie's varied skills.
I remember the killer drive and curl to put the final dagger into Notre Dame, in her first championship.
She can do that too, I thought ?
Well now, when all cylinders are firing, its an utterly, complete game.

I think Angel is glad Stewie is going to be a teammate in Rio. Just my opinion, but Stewie is proving daily she is one of the top 5, or 6 players in the world. She can play 3 positions, and she can be a terror on both ends of the floor. She is also starting to learn what Geno stated, she needs to make a "Wow", play every game

You think?

Serviceable, at least.

I think Stewie doesn't quite have the experience or consistency to be top 5, but she may soon. A couple of year? A couple of months? Later tonight?

So ... my big question is who decided Gatling was a better player than Thomas coming out of training camp? She did not play that many minutes last night and no one will mistake her for Tina or Sylvia, but she showed some attitude and some nice team skills that I did not see from Gatling who just seemed to provide fouls. If she can improve just a little on what she provided last night Seattle will be a much better team.

Yes, and I hope Quinn can provide some reliable ball-handling. Don't know if that's her strength but Seattle could use some.

I'm not trying to stir up anything, but debating why she isn't on the team leaves all questions and no answers. At least not any that can be publicly discussed on the board.

Not everyone has said that. Many UCONN fans have acknowledged her talent, but that the committee chose the team not based on who the best individual players were. I agree she has great basketball skills. I also agree with the committee to leave her off the team. And knowing what I know, that's all I can say about that...!

But you are correct - there's a forum for that particular Olympic discussion.

Parker is just a hot button topic, so to speak...

PM me this inside info... thanks kindly

Enough already we have all said we thought she should be on the team, we have a different board for this discussion leave it there, this board is for current issues.

No, we don't all think Candace should be on the team and we certainly haven't said that. There was strong argument to make as to why she wasn't selected and her play this season outside a couple of games has done nothing to reverse those arguments.

Stewie is becoming a beast game by game. Her skills are broad and deep and SHE plays both ends of the court and doesn't take plays off. I've actually watched a few WNBA games just to watch her transformation. She played up an age group for years for USA Basketball and didn't arrive in awe. She came to play and to dominate.
