I don't like seeing this fraud Becky Hammon commercial over and over. She wasn't called by colleges who told her that she was too short. |
Your proof?

The proof is needed by Hammon. Colleges don't call back people that they didn't recruit who somehow contacted them and tell them things they don't like about them. And who told her after college - where she was a first team All-American - that she wasn't good enough to play in the pros? Some guys in her dorm?

I'm going to tend to believe Hammon over a basement dweller. How do you know that colleges didn't call her back? Are you saying you are/were a college coach who recruits?

With Pierson retiring, she should be staying with us. They can give us something good in a sign and trade if they are desperate.

Why would she want to leave with Pierson retiring and Brunson getting there?

Coach Reeve has been very stingy in giving Howard minutes,and has shown a lack of confidence in her.Reeve experimented with moving Howard to SF.Natasha's only getting playing time because Brunson is injured.Howard played less than 10 minutes in 9 of 12 games prior to the seattle game where Brunson got hurt.I also wouldn't put it pass Reeve to go out and sign another veteran post player.

It doesn't pass the smell test and someone who had been a high school coach on the college board said that normally coaches don't respond to unsolicited high school players and if they do they just say that they have filled their slots.

Did someone say Harrison is better than Howard? I don't see it ,Howard would start and be a boost to the Stars front court.
I'd hate to lose Howard but getting a pg for the future like Jefferson is a must for the Lynx next season.
Jefferson for Howard and Jones.

At least it didn't look empty. But I'd guess and say 2,000.

+1
Minnesota should trade Howard & Jones for a legit starting pg.Then trade their 2018 1st rd pick & Fagbenie for Lanhorne.

Looking at the weather maps, it looks like they were away from danger for the most part, but has anyone seen anything indicating that they all made it out safely?

Wnba attendance numbers have always been fugazi.I wouldn't be surprised if the real paid ticket league average is below 5k.

Gotta get that league average up however possible. Always happens at towards the end of the season.

Interesting note about the attendance number getting changed. With that change, the Stars finish at [+1] from last year's average. Coincidence? Doubtful.
