Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4469239, member: 12088"] I agree with everything in this bizarre post. The second half is a fine analysis of the situation at SCar. I’m completely on board with your reading of the data. As for the first half, I think you want to disagree with me — Lord only knows why — about something — Lord only knows what — and then find the post I was referring to (thanks for that) and show that although you read it as referring to another player it’s ambiguous enough to be read as referring to who I thought. Fair enough. And then you fuss about the antecedent of “unparalleled,” as if I’d disagree with you. I don’t. The reason SCar is a powerhouse is that they’re deep enough to keep fielding great teams even after good or even great players leave. They’re not a “one-trick pony.” Wilson was truly great, and her departure did not undermine the team. Henderson was a good guard, and her departure surely left a hole, but the team is strong enough to respond to it — at least as far as early season indicators suggest. The reason I say the post is bizarre is that you combine some excellent observations and analysis with what seems to be an attempt to refute someone who agrees with you. Sigh. Perhaps I’m mistaken and you don’t mean to refute me, or anything so tendentious. If so, I apologize for my misreading. It’s a bizarre feature of fan forums, I suppose, that even though we all share a love of the game and our teams, we can work ourselves into quite disputatious moods even when we ought to cheer each other on. We often express half-finished thoughts in our enthusiasm, and we’re open to misinterpretation, and we, all of us, change our opinions as the discussion continues. That’s the nature of these things, and I try to stay as open and open-hearted about it as I can. [/QUOTE]
