| Gotta get Liz the ball. |
Wings guards need to practice getting the ball to Liz when she first post up. They wait a bit too long after the defenders get their reads, and it results in a steal sometimes.

| A good coach will figure out how to get the most out of every player. Tap the resources. If the shooting guard position is not producing, create plays to accentuate their abilities. If all five positions are a threat, it opens up each position for greater possibilities. Liz can't shoot every time. High five for Thornton producing.

| Seem to have all the talent on paper and individually but they can't put it together once they step in the court as a group. So frustrating.

| Leticia Romero for Chong. I've never seen Romero play, but she was pretty hyped for an international player in college.

Doesn't surprise me that they're trying a different backup point guard. They've already been using Kaela Davis as the de facto backup a lot of the time, so Fred had clearly lost any confidence in Chong. Now she gets to join that Colson, Kiesel etc. train of interchangable backup PGs waiting on the couch for a phone call.
Bit surprised that Romero was still in the country and therefore available at short notice. |

I dont think its too terrible , we were already looking to find and improvement from chong during the draft with hopeful Goodwin , but Chong outshined her. Chong is not a threat on offense although she doesnt turn the ball over she's more a filler at PG than a weapon . Romero has yet to play in the league so not sure what to expect . I do know shes a bigger guard than Chong with better court vision , whether she develops better than chong is yet to be seen. I actually like this move and feel Romero can make our 2nd unit even stronger rather then always running half court sets and not being aggressive on fast breaks ala Chong .

| I liked Chong. She had good hands on defense. I don’t get though why she could never make a 3. She shot them all the time in college

The WNBA line is further out than the college line

Chong beat out a player last year who was quicker and more aggressive. So I am not surprised she was the choice. I thought Goodwin stood a chance until the preseason game with lots of turnovers. Agreed on your Chong comments.

| If we can afford it and still have 3 players out and qualify for the hardship exemption I would definitely give Chang an audition in NY.

Hmmm, sounds similar to an issue I had in May! Except my issue was in regard to my kid’s Select Basketball games. Now, I stopped going to his games and instead get to go to the Wings games and holler/chastise refs/act a fool, and wonderfully, without harming what is truly imperative in my life. maybe a bit of perspective change would be of benefit. The Wings are a wonderful outlet. Use them as a release valve for the rigors of daily life. Scream with them, scream at them, love them, hate 1 or 2, visit with the spectators around you.

To be honest, these issues only arise when I want a team/player to win.......I enjoy watching games where I have no emotional stake in who wins/loses….I felt emotionally satisfied after watching the NY/IND game.The Liberty choking away a big lead had no effect on me.I was just happy to see Nurse/KM have good games...I started watching the Dal/Sea game while the NY/IND game was still in progress...I was stoked...26 point lead midway through the 2nd quarter...Then all of a sudden,Dallas gives away the entire lead.I was furious...Maybe it would be best if I just appreciate the players without having an interest in the outcome of the game.

Regardless of how you use it, it’s a wonderful medium. Use it whichever way works best for you. Prior to the pressures/responsibilities associated with middle age, I used to get butt-hurt over my team’s losses. I mean, my family are/were long suffering Wings, Cubs and Bears fans. For me, I’m going to enjoy this roller coaster the Wings will take us on as suggested by Alanis Morissette.

I find it is a lot harder when you think my team is, or just might be, a contender. Then losses are harder to take because it undermines the faith and hope I have that the team will be as good as I hope. The more likely it is my team will lose, the easier I find it to be a fan by enjoying the upset wins, and root for the players' individual accomplishments more than the team's won and lost column. Sports is entertainment, and if I detach from the outcome it is more entertaining.

Yeah...It was much easier accepting a Dallas loss when they was starting a backup center.....Blowing a 17 & 26 point lead when you have two MVP caliber players only magnifies the frustration.
@ justinabina,Randy & Skyfan22
Thanks for the Feedback...I’ll definitely keep your suggestions in mind.
