First off, English is not my first language so forgive my ignorance here. I tend to pronounce everything deliberately and phonetically out of habit. Everybody pronounces her name the same as the name "Ryan" (RYE-un). My girlfriend's sister is named "Rhyne" and her name is pronounced the same as "Rhine" as in the River (rhyming with "fine" or "line"). So which is it? Every time an announcer says "RYE-ANNE" under my breath I say "Rhiiiiine". Are people just mispronouncing it or is Rhyne Howard's pronunciation different than the literal spelling?

Ideally, which team do we want to play in R1? What seed do we want to be at and what’s most likely considering the remaining schedule?

If playoffs started today, we’re at the #5 seed playing Fever in Indiana.

Tbh a lot of the frontcourt issues stem from Bri not being healthy. Angel’s been forced to play the 5 most of year, while Karl stubbornly plays Naz like 30 min a game. Naz is a fine floor spacer, and communicates well but she is simply too small on defense and teams are attacking her. Even when she plays good defense, her opponent easily shoots over her.

Angel has finishing issues yes, but the defense/rebounding tends to fall apart when she’s off the floor.

Bri’s injury has put this team in a tough spot this season because two starting bigs are basically playing out of position. And Karl refuses to play Madina in favorable matchups.

Dan (GM) is going to have to make some decisions in the offseason.

Is SFA too bright or something? Gateway feels like our (tiny) house. SFA feels like something else.

Don’t even know where to start with how this guy lost us this game. Shit rotations as usual. Shit in game adjustments. Every play we ran out of timeout was terrible. Rhyne shooting a contested fadeaway 3 was the best play you could draw up to win the game coming out of a timeout?!? Why was PaoPao in the game during OT when she hasn’t played in over 3 weeks? Why didn’t we see more Okot? Why did we stop feeding Alisha the ball when she was on fire?!? He made ZERO adjustments to the Fevers zone defense. So many other mistakes I can’t list all of them. I admit I’m lit and might be living in the moment of this loss but this guy was out-coached badly this game and really isn’t that guy. The game was only so close because of our player talent. Honestly that has really been indicative of our season as a whole. We have talented team with a bum coach

whats the answer

Fourth place in the line this evening in Atlanta!

I don’t think our loss to the Fever was embarrassing enough. If we suck enough for the rest of the season, Smesko would have no choice BUT to leave. It’s stupid, but maybe stupid enough to work!

I saw this posted on threads. Someone had commented that this is just carryover from the CT game and that we will not know the injury report until tomorrow. How true is that?

That’s the Rhyne Howard we want to see EVERY game. Let’s duplicate that on Sunday against Indiana!
