Taurasi Must PLAY!!!!!

[ThisJustIn]

I think it's pretty goofy to attack someone for writing an opinion piece that 1) has an opinion and 2) is designed to draw traffic. I know magazines that deliberately wrote about UConn players in order to do that. I know Mel uses UConn as a draw. I know DishSwish posts links on the 'yard and rebkell to draw readers. In fact, you missed an op by not putting a link within your "I asked Corey" comment.

That both Clay and Gospel both wrote about the topic indicates it's a hot one - heck, look how it got DS riled up!

People have often pointed out that wbball writers don't take risks. It's a small world, they don't want piss the client off. (though, it seems to me the client should be busy courting writers and giving them nice gifts). Clay never has worried about that - agree or disagree with him.

I guess tanking is de rigeur -- if i were a 'erc fan I'd be wanting a refund 'cause Taurasi is who I paid to see....

To me, it seemed highly likely that the Phx brass was encouraging DT not to play when she showed no signs of injury during the Olympics. How many players are 100%? Everyone is probably battling some sort of injury at this point. As much as I respect DT, which I have posted many times, I find this absence from the WNBA to be the complete opposite of her character and likely not her decision. The WNBA is not stable enough for its biggest star to tank a season. I find this whole situation distasteful and unethical. It makes me hope that BG ends up anywhere but Phoenix.

Did we not just hear this week A Jones say (paraphrasing) "I wouldn't miss the Olympics no matter how much it hurt. NOW I'll heal".
