Years ago Delisha Milton-Jones was running down the court for the Mystics and looking to the side and Taurasi slid in front of her and threw her shoulder into Milton-Jones and leveled her. Milton-Jones was livid and had to be heavily restrained by her teammates. I later saw an interview where Milton-Jones was asked about her favorite players to play against and her first response was Taurasi. Neither that or Copper's tweet is going to cause me to change my opinion about Taurasi and her cheap shots and bullying. If the players can respect, enjoy or admire that type of play or overlook it, that's good for them because they have to experience it, not me. |
it is a 2-way street, not that DT does or doesn't deserve it, but she's been man (woman)-handled since her junior year at UConn. its the way refs have let people play against her - i am sure this has to do with her style of play. |
This.
And it contributes significantly to her annoyance with the refs.
Is she supposed to just take it?

I've been saying this. She takes heavy contact on almost every single possession and coming off every single screen. it's disguised by this idea that someone is playing good "defense"
Allie Quigley gets one minute of this treatment and elbows someone in the face twice.

The Phoenix Mercury fined "$10,000 for violating league rules governing postgame media interview access."
The fine results from Mercury players not participating in Sunday's postgame media availability following Game 4 of the WNBA Finals.

I thought it was posted here that it was in the CBA that players didn't have to appear before the media? What are the grounds for the fine?

Yes, I read that elsewhere on this thread as well.

Maybe the CBA only protects the players from getting fined? Not sure.

I believe Quigley is a dirty player. My opinion. I saw her come through the lane in Game 2 or 3 and elbow Diana for no reason. I chuckled at the no call and my sister's look of disbelief.
However, the physicality is not an excuse. BG takes more contact than any player in this league and everyone was moaning and groaning about BG not being "tough enough" "strong enough" "poised enough" "mature enough". Diana has played in this league for almost 20 years. At some point, the excuses have to stop. No way would you all be making these comments if BG was cursing out refs and complaining about no calls. Hell, Skylar doesn't even get the same grace and I'm certain that when CP3 says something to the refs, there are comments about her complaining too.
No player should get beaten up and the refs are supposed to keep things from getting out of hand, however, let's not act like Diana doesn't give as good as she gets. And let's not act like we haven't seen Diana get frustrated with the physicality and use it to fuel her to win games. In this case, she fell apart.

I would actually like to see Griner get more pissed off at the contact she takess. She would score about 35 a game if she got in the officials heads the way others do. It's harder for bigs because they can't make contact look as pretty and they sure as hell don't fall on the ground the way guards do (unless your name is Stephanie Dolson)

If you think Quigley is a dirty player then what does that make Taurasi?
I have been a fan of Taurasi for years but to call out Quigley for being a dirty player out of all players is laughable IMO

My thoughts exactly. Thing is is that I love Taurasi. It seems like her affect on non-players around her is what drives me crazy. She can handle her energy, others, including the refs cannot.

I think the refs are allowing a lot of her 'energy' in the WNBA. Overseas in the Euroleague she would be T ed up for the first FUCK YOU to a ref and rightfully so..
