Just got back from the game, too. As always we hung in there hard core til the end and pulled it out!! Thank goodness. Refs were TERRIBLE!! Mary Nell got fired up one time and got a technical called on her... go Mary Nell... must have been her sassy new yellow jacket and haircut! ;-) I was totally impressed by Shalee tonight holding her own against Katie Smith... seriously, I am not one of the Shalee fanatics, but dang... she has got some spunk... I LOVE it!!! One more thing I also noticed like trueblue... Price was totally into the game, cutting up with the players like she's been hanging with them all season, cheering them on, and pumped up! I like her energy already and can't wait to see her play as one of the Dream!! Playoffs... here we come!!! Everyone else, as always, good game! Way to win it!!

What game? You people are delusional. You applaud mediocre play at its best while the Dream's real point guard, Ivory Latta sits on the bench... CHECK THE STATS people. You obviously wouldn't know game if it smacked you in the face. Sheeesh!

that should have been entitled "how to manipulate statistics.....point is.....shalee....tho she has the talent to have good games periodically.....basically is a non factor.....nobody here is saying that she's a plug....but god!! she's nowhere near what you people are trying to make her out to be.....
leadership is a vaporous idea....every team has someone....many more than one that's trying to be a leader....these are adults.....many are stars......and don't look up to someone for guidance....they need someone to put numbers on the book.....regardless of how the shalee supporters try to spin it.....stats do in fact win games.....all games have intangebles.....but when you get right down to it.....putting balls in the buckets is what wins....
shalee has had a couple of good games....which elevated the stats in the article.....and the games that she didn't.....she did very little and took no chances..... which brought no negative effects to the same statistics.....for the main part.....she does little.....maybe a nice play or two during the course of an entire game.....
last game she was praised for standing up to katie smith.....smith scored 17......and had a pretty good all around game.....surprising considering she hasn't been a factor against most teams this season....
point is.....whatever small thing shalee does.....you guys jump on it as proof positive of her greatness.....if your intention is to make fans of the rest of us.....believe me....your actions are having the opposite effect.....if she's a great player.....it will out.....if she's not..... all the proclaiming her as the "intangible great" doesn't mean a thing.....
if you really want us to appreciate her.....try waiting till she starts playing as great as you claim she is.....and we will....until then stop trying to act as if you know so much more about the game than we do....that you can see the subtle things that she does that we positively couldn't win without.....we know what intangibles are.....we know about positive attitude.....we know everything that you do.....and we still say that you need to give it a break.....you're not doing her any favors.....

i was glad too see shalee drive and take charges in last nights game but it wasnt like she had 18 pts or anything...lets see if she can keep this up and hopefully her impact will grow we need all the help we can get including ivory who was on da bench last night for no reason..we cuda used her..she only played like what 3 mins??

I KNOW....THE REFS FOR WBBALL....SUUUUUUUUUCK! I have a friend that now has a season ticket too whom I just turned on to wbball this year....he can not believe the BS calls and how many NO CALLS for very BLATANT things....it is crazy.
I almost have written Donna Orrender about the refs a couple of times actually.

i think at rebkell they called it "the no call zone" under the basket.....it's really getting irritating....reffing is part of the reason i stopped watching the nba for about ten years....
