That's the problem with this fanbase and some of you thinking because people have opinions that don't agree with yours we aren't loyal fans. You had the analyst saying the same things we said last night (or did you watch the game?)
Rebecca Lobo who is one of UCONN's best players praised Parker and her abilities as one of the best women to ever play the game and didn't understand why she was settling when she had the better defender in Brunson on the bench with 3 fouls in the first half and she destroyed Natasha Howard everytime Howard has tried to guard her all season long. It is no reason Parker should not have had a stat line similar to (if not better than) Maya Moore. The difference is Maya Moore (and Sylvia Fowles) refused to let their team lose and Parker and Tolliver (pouted and complained pretty much the entire game) there comes a time when you have to stfu and play ball. There is a reason why she was left off the Olympic team and it seemed as though none of the girls (even her own fellow Lady Vol alum) missed her. There is also a reason the voters (which I don't agree with) didn't vote her All-WNBA. Your personality and the way you do things can rub people the wrong way (seeing as though some of us have done to you and you've blocked/ignored us) to where people no longer want to deal with you and your BS. She has always seem to have a sense of entitlement and it is beginning to show and you know how she can silence the doubters. By shutting us up and going out and giving her all every night without the excuses.
P.S. This is a forum for us to share our views and not all of our views will be the same and if your views don't align with someone else doesn't mean you stoop to childlike tantrums and name calling to get your point across because your views aren't going to make anyone else change their's.
Like I said, I allow myself one 'childlike tantrum' a year on here and this was it. As long as I have been a active user on here, their are only a few users whose comments I just skim over because I already know what is it in, spiteful garble. Again, this is the internet, anything goes, blah blah blah. Thats why we can ignore I guess. Your post, personally to me, are complex and offer a variety input. My glasses that I see through are orange. I'll be the first to say that, Maya was on it last night, as usual. She is the star for her team this year. When she struggles, team struggles. She has heart. She is going to go down as one of the top 5 best WNBA players ever. When it comes to basketball, I can see through team colors and coach's, because it's a sport in the end. I will root for my team always, I will root for LVFL players. I won't trash them, or make ridiculous comments about them over one game. It's sickening to see Parker have an off night, because as Lobo pointed out, she was given the green light, why didn't she drive the car?
I welcome forms of difference of opinions, many on here. And this is a forum, definition, share thoughts. But when the difference of opinion is
100% of the time (basketball related, because I know they comment on other sports) constantly tearing down people and their comments bring nothing positive to a conversation, personally I end those conversations. And this is the only person I've had to block. It's America, we all have the freedom to voice. That's what makes us ...err .. .great again? But as a forum, I get to make my feelings known as well too? I'm not trying to start a barn burner grab your torch type of thing, just having my own personal tantrum and wanted to share it with the world
eace:
As the story goes, game 5 coming up, we will see who the champion is. I will be sad if she doesn't bring it home. Will I go on a forum and say how awful she is the she's the virus on the team and why they didn't win, no. I wouldn't do that to lady vol on a lady vol forum, who gave her all to UT and PS .... If she is all this bad as someone has made her out to be ... how is she even in the championship and how did she help lead her team to almost the best record in the WNBA?
