I never made that proclamation. That was @hoopsnloops32.
Sorry, my mistake.
A couple minutes into her career I already like her more than anything I've seen from K. Bell.
Yup! There's a reason why she got the call to enter the game over KB.
I think Bell isn't suited up today, but glad to see Martin take advantage of the opportunity.
My bad
I could be wrong. One of the TOs I thought she was in civvies, but now looking at the bench it looks like she is suited up.My bad
Can they get Hamby back? She's killing them today.
She's been phenomenal. Fatigue's gonna get her, though (I hope).
Nope. Wilson came alive in Q3, but the rest of the game Hamby completely outplayed her.
Meh. She may have scored more, but I'd say that A'ja played better defensively. So, they played to a virtual standstill. And Dearica looked visibly gassed by the end of the game while A'ja looked like she could've kept playing for five more minutes. Hamby was trying to prove a point while the Aces were trying to win another game without their all-world PG.
If the Aces came into the season knowing that Chelsea tore her Achilles and did nothing to address the position outside of selecting a diminutive second-rounder (who the coaching staff does not trust, apparently) and bringing back a locker room presence/energy player, then the front office is extremely negligent. There were opportunities to acquire a rotation PG, but they focused on post depth.
Hamby was getting steals and coast to coast layups at the end of the game. Didn't look gassed to me. Wilson did virtually nothing in Q4.
Hamby was visibly gassed in those last three to four minutes of the game. She had some buckets, but she didn't look like she could go if the game was extended. She played herself out trying to prove a point. That was a winnable game, but they didn't win. It's going to be a long season for them if they can't reel Hamby in--and that's going to be hard to do without a good PG. Clarendon tries, but they aren't the PG that the team needs. Aari McDonald is terrible.
Sound like they expect to have her at some point this season just not anytime soon. They were weird about the CP injury that retired her so who knows. Idk if it’s a torn Achilles but she said she heard a “pop” and has been out 7 months at this point. I’m not sure what else it would have been. An Achilles is 6-9 months recovery so it would fit within that recovery time line anyways.
6-9 months these days. 12 if you are being very cautious. AT came back from hers in 9. It’s been 7 months at this point since grays injury.
Anyone else concerned about Chelsea Gray’s availability for the upcoming Olympics? You would think the committee might need to be aware and possibly thinking about adding the next best point guard? Who would that be I wonder?
