I'm pulling for Liv but at the same time, I'm not going to take the cheese like i did this past year. Talking is one thing, doing it in big games in another. Trust is hard to build and easily lost.
I think Geno bringing Dorka in indicates agreement with you. He wants consistent play from Liv and has not gotten it.
The fact that she’s working on her shooting form AND working on post moves gives me a huge amount of hope. Tina Charles found huge success using the hook shot. I’m hoping Liv can use it, too, since (at her height) it will be extremely difficult to block.
This should have been a video from two summers ago. She'd have been an AA by now.
Sort of agree in that if she plays to her potential we will be very good. But I would say she is a key, rather than the key. She can put us over the top if she plays at her best, but even if she doesn’t we have other tools.
no doubt which is what I said when the news of Dorka's potential transfer emerged. I don't remember many boneyarders being in favour of Dorka however (lots of negatively actually), but I argued she will be a good to very good player and better and more consistent than what we have.
Agreed. I remember falling in love with Tina’s hook shot when she used it against Griner in the 2010 FF. It was really effective and even Griner could barely challenge it. It’s still so pretty to me the way it comes off Tina’s fingertips!
@jazz your memory is about as bad as mine. If you go back to the April 12 thread announcing her transfer (12 pages) you'll find great enthusiasm for her arrival.
Her pattern has been two I have big games against lesser opponents but disappear against quality competition. I think she is more than physically gifted enough to be able to hold their own, but for whatever reason it hasn’t happened. I’m really rooting for this to be the year that it all comes together for her, but in all honesty, I’m not sure.
my memory is excellent my friend although sometimes i momentarily forget things and later they come back to me. I'm talking way before that when it was a possibility. She was getting slagged off big time and I even posted a prediction that everybody would change their minds once it was official. i ended up being right, since as usual, once GA goes a certain way, everybody changes their tune. kind of like NM last year. she sucked until GA started her and then the whole board fell in love with her.
if liv can play smart and tough and make damn shots, it will certainly help and gives us another weapon. her being AA is a joke. good sometimes and pathetic other times.
Guess your memory is poor
I don't know how it came to be that I was unaware of the early debate. Perhaps I was in Final 4 mourning!
