yea, that's what happens when b$ starts feeling like she needs to "step up" its not so much a step up as it is a selfish ball hog. that's always been her m.o. when she's on she scores - alot - that's why so many of her coaches keep her in. the problem is that she is one of the most inconsistent players in the league so when she's off...she kills her own team. She's the one that can go slash inside or pull up for the short jumper... Yes, absolutely. But what she doesn't do well is recognize when she needs to give up the ball to an open player. She bulls into 2-3 people consistently not realizing that other people are open. My point is that she plays recklessly and IMO makes bad decisions as a guard - it works when she's scoring it hurts us when she's not putting it in the hole.

here's my thing - if we aren't going to play BIG then why not work the 3 point shooters we have some - Strother, Mann, Latta, Lennox, Izzy. Our offense over all just doesn't look very confident. we always run the high post screen that just doesn't set anything up.

See you Sunday. Maybe another loss but maybe a better effort. Can it get worse?

boy boy boy boy boy! Washington sound just as worst as we are and they still managed to beat us by 9. How do we keep up with other teams who are obviously better than the Mystics and lost by single digits and then play this team like we were scared or confused to death!

Sounds good in theory however, the coach needs to recognize that AND that would require the ball to be passed by Lennox if she wasn't open for the shot...chances of that happening

See you guys Sunday...I'm just hoping we hold our own cause if you saw the number Deanna Nolan did on the Lynx tonight you'll know it'll take a miracle for us to actually beat the Shock.

Another heartbreaker for the Lynx....and the Dream. At least one of my teams will win on 7/9, and I'll get to see my "Dream Girl" play live (hopefully for more than 4.49 minutes). "took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end"
