Nice dunk by Cambage...
and for the record, IMHO, LLL's dunk was WEAK, WEAK, WEAK! |
and LA lost the game at home to the Miami Sol. Guess it didn't really fire up her teammates too much.

"Cheap" is a matter of opinon. What, post players can only take a beating but not dish it out? She got knocked around a lot in some of the games, and I'm glad she's starting to stand up for herself. At least in the Russia game. Catchings practically threw herself into Liz (as is her habit) and this time it happened to result in a blow to her diaphragm. Those always look worse than they are because they knock the wind out. Far as I could tell Cambage was just protecting herself. Potato/potahtoh

Liz was in the classic stance - try to protect yourself with arms in front of the body and prepare for impact. It is totally natural for her hands to be clenched into fists. It's absurd to call that a cheap shot.

Cheap is indeed a matter of opinion. The Catch one could be either way, I saw it my way and others saw it their way - it's all good. Be assured that I am all for standing up for ones self on the court, all athletes do it and should be or they will be seen as "soft" ... But the elbow to the chest was over the top and blatant. It was very LLL / DMJ cheap... Again... My opinion only..
