Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5337271, member: 7748"] Leave it ... Leave it.........leave it. I've been justly accused of a number of shortcomings over my life but leaving it.... That's a first. Never before been described as one who would leave it. In a segment in my [B]online certificate program evaluating coaching[/B] we spent some time on the math of sport: strengths and shortcomings. This is reflective of the fun of debating sports numbers there are lies, damn lies and sports statistics. As part of my extended response to the welcome victory of the Merc on the road in New York (this is a portion of where I did not leave it...lol). I pointed out that Nate did do a hard thing just not as hard as it would have been had Stewie not had a strained MCL. Roster construction and analysis aside because I do think that Natasha Cloud was the reason for the victory in game one, that Sabrina is critical for the success of the team, and that JJ actually is extraordinarily key to the performance of this team. And I would point out that JJ is not playing all that well right now although much of what she's doing is not appearing in the box score. But....I digress, rather than.... So Nate did something that was hard just not as hard as it would have been had there been no sprain In contrast when Sandy went into Phoenix in the first game if I'm not mistaken Phoenix was it full strength that is no walking wounded. So she did something that was hard.....er. Leaving aside the challenge of winning on the road teams really care about seating after all that's really the only reason for the regular season. So as the number four seed playing the number five seed one would expect if seeding was properly done and reflective of performance that the four seed would beat the five seed. I got a c+ in this portion of the online program of applying math to evaluation of coaching. Maybe that's why I remember it so well. We'll both be watching tonight this will be fun as a Merc fan I have my fingers crossed. And to miss quote a political debate I knew Nikki Blue, I evaluated Nikki Blue, and Nate you are no Nikki Blue. [/QUOTE]
