Dream vs Mecury

[jaye]

just curious trueblue....what are you basing that opinion on....(ivory being better coming off of the bench).....she hasn't yet started so what's your comparison.........and if you're talking about last year....her numbers were better especially when you factor in the fact that she had to share the ball with betty....and the difference in w's and l's is due to the difference in talent....and not to whether she started or not....

as to us bashing the program day in and day out.....we also say positive things....but they're not what seems to be focused on.....and really no offense.....because maybe you don't realize this or maybe it's not a conscious action....but you do an awful lot of trying to explain or rationalize mm's actions.....

as to whether we're better than we were....who's arguing that with you??....of course we are....we've got better players.....i'm not sure what you're trying to explain with that statement....but for the umpteenth time.....what we're trying to explain to you is that we don't feel that we're as good as we should be with the personnel that we've got....

we're playing under .500....that's mediocre basketball.....and we're better than that....if you're satisfied with that.....then you have every right....but some of us are not....and we care not that we're a second year team.....there are circumstances that make that a mute point....

when we were chanting "worst to first" at the beginning of the season.....we weren't exaggerating.....we've got as good a lineup as anyone out there.....

Pusser, you say that 'there's more to starting than that', i.e., scoring points, etc. Okay, explain just what those fine points are. From a STARTING point guard's position, what should this player be doing? Run around on the court, provide a couple of assists, run up precious minutes and that's it? Let's try reasoning here. If another point guard (from the bench) runs around the court, provides a few assists and CONSISTENTLY provides double digit scoring, why should we go with the former PG to start? No rationality to that, sorry.

Trueblue you are being consistently linked with MM because you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. You would never make it as a spin doctor, because your arguments make no sense. That MM is a good GM is a joke. As I said in my last post, she has made only 2 completely correct moves. Why has she not made any moves to improve the team since the season started? If she is so good as GM, why has she not fired herself for her poor decision-making? I AM NOT bashing the team. They do as well as they can under the circumstances, but with a little adjustment, they could be real rammer-jammers.

I stand and applaud your nerve for "going there," deedee. I have voiced this opinion only in a private chat, and not in such straight-foreword terms. To state it publicly is quite another matter. There can be no other explanation for Shalee's consistent starting. Her performance surely does not warrant it. I AM NOT bashing her, as I said yesterday, in another system, I'm sure she would thrive.

Jaye, your coaching experience gives you a better insight into the game, and I enjoy your straight ahead attitude.

I can"t get live feed, but it's a live telecast tonight. I"ll be watching to see if Ivory gets the start. We can only hope.
