If you say so. I mean, I'm not questioning whether Gray or Williams are tough, but I don't think that anybody in the W is about that life, to be honest. |
Not anyone current, anyway. Juju, Neckbone, and Killer are in the past. |
Thugette Pierson could be the last of the Mohicans ! |
You don't really want to go there because it was Parker who actually threw a punch.

I do want to go there because it was Pierson who charged at her forcing her to protect her self . Also it was Pierson that almost had multiple altercations with DT. Pierson wacking PFT .

Defending Plenette is a tough assignment, but Shades is just sticking up for his team.

PPP has been well known for thugish behaviour. But I would say that she has somewhat 'mellowed out' in her old age. She can still give some thumps on opponents but it doesn't look nearly as dirty as it used to. And she's definitely stopped doing the hook'em strategy which ended up giving her a major injury. It may be faint praise, but I would say she isn't the thug she used to be.
Now watch her try to take out Candace or Nneka tonight.

Not such a tough assignment. Just keep letting her jack those threes she's fallen in love with, you'll be fine.

Y’all are acting like Whalen yelled in someone’s face and said “**** you” in their face. She got fired up on a play and stared at them. Come on. Taurasi hit people in the head and it got less flack for that.

But The Gag is She kinda did. Just only when the player was turned around on the ground not seeing her reaction....

So what if they act different they both did the same thing. It doesnt make sense to me that you can defend Lindsay for the same action you didn't like from BG. |
I don't recall this, but somehow I doubt it was the same. Got a vid? Griner tends to approach a player and yap, which at Griner's size can be pretty intimidating.

Like I said its the way Whalen celebrate so I dont know why you are bringing Mone celebrating more. I dont find Maya Mone Fowles obnoxious when celebrating thats the difference for me compare to Whalen. |
I guess you take Whalen's look as wanting to fight, but that's so ridiculous. She's never been in a fight. And of all the players in the league who you could accuse of being obnoxious, Whalen should seriously be near the bottom of the list. High character person and not exactly flamboyant.

It could fire up the team, especially if it's in conjunction with a great play. Did it work? Did the Lynx start playing better?

You can look at the last game LA played in Phx in the 2015 season to see it was the same thing. Dabovic was knock to the floor by BG who didn't yap with her but did stare her down. Whalen is on near the top of my list so is Coach Reeve even if you feel different. Lynx were most likely fired up by the and 1 not Lindsey antics afterwards.
