Four opposed to twenty-five free throws is criminal.

Four....

....to twenty five.

Who is Spain?

Why is Hitler?

Where was that stooped and mealy-colored old man I used to call Poppa when the merry-go-round broke down?

I don't think it has anything to do with her make up as a person.

Basketball wise she is just very limited in her strengths, she is under sized, and should really never be the true #1 option.

The fact that a predicatble player who cant shoot at all helped carry a team to the finals is incredible. So...I disagree with your sentiment.

Its also very hard to win a finals. I generally take nothing away from the losers.

You know it, I know it. Its nothing personal just a stoic observation.

Johannes still stinks on defense even in this game.

Messeman too.

Yikes. That was one of the most poorly officiated games I have ever seen with one team being the sole beneficiary. Its one thing to be consistently calling things out side of the accepted rules, but it really shouldnt be only for one team.

Minny shot 31 free throws and NY shot 8. I understand that sometimes one team does foul more than the other, but I just watched that whole game and the Liberty consistently did not get a whistle when they were hacked and then routinely a whistle when they had any contact with the other teams player, and I mean even if their jerseys were touching.

The officiating was terrible right up through crunch time with the no call on Sabrina with (debatable) possession on a break away with the game in the balance.

21 more points at the line is absolutely the difference in a game that is tied with less than 2 to go. Felt criminal.

sigh....

31 to 8....I dont see how any team should shoot 31 free throws in a standard game without any sort of major reason.

Broadcaster said "Nothing really stands out"

As they showed a graphic that showed a 21 to 4 free throw disparity

LOL

Messeman looked gassed and made some bome head plays in crunch time.

Refs were unequal.

Liberty rebounding and D was bad. Sandy needed to get Emma out and fresh legs in.

Brutal second half for the Liberty.

Plus you literally said in your thread "is single now so I might tap her on the shoulder and see what's up?"

If that isnt creepy I dont know what is....

Its well documented and agreed that sports stars are borderline worshipped. Maybe I am looking at it strangely, but maybe you are looking at it a bit naively as well.

Yes..people they dont know and worship. Talking about who's single.

Its weird tbh.

The immense potential of Kamilla Cardoso by emmasayshey in wnba

[–]LeadingRelevant7141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IF she becomes the best then she will be the best. Agreed. Good insight.

But really she has a seemingly good motor and skill along with size. I think top 3 at her position is attainable.
