Let me tell you one thing about Sheryl Swoopes. That gal has more killer instinct than any member of the rockets right now. Whenever the Comets are starting to romp, you can be sure Swoopes is going to get a steal, a layup, and then drain a three. Daggers. Number of times per game Sheryl Swoopes smiles: 0.
Cynthia Cooper is getting old, she is 36. I would rather have that Brazil girl, forgot her name but she is such a clutch performer and will fill the shoes after Cooper retired. Hope they mix it up in the future, MWNBA in which women play the point should be fun.
Sensation, I think you can get one through one of those mail-order catalogue things. Get the VISA ready.
BK "Until Cynthia Cooper can do everything else well enough to play in the NBA, I don't think her free-throw shooting is valuable enough to warrant a roster spot." Have you ever seen Coop Play? She plays with Heart. I've seen her play through injury and adversity. She has talent, courage and a will to win. She gives 100% all the time and can do more than shoot free throws. Either you don't know what your talking about or you're talking through an eliminatory orifice. Francis3 It's Janeth Arcain.
I definetly think the big guys have trouble shooting freebies because of physical reasons too. I don't think it is Shaq's lack of effort, anymore than it was Wilt or Russell's lack of effort, for why these guys are all sub-60% free throw shooters. But if you want to pick on some part of any of these guys games you have to start somewhere, I guess.
"You're talking through an eliminatory orifice." The reference was obviously both excretory and gratuitous. Your decision to keep arguing about it and claim there was "no mention of excretion" is even more rude, petulant, and foolish. We are not babysitters and do not have time for your antics. Shape up and move on.
Will I apologize for being rude. In the short time I've been reading the posts on this BBS, many opinions have seemed foolish to me. But, how can expressing your opinion in this venue be foolish? For that I will not apologize. The statements were more peevish than petulant. I was peeved at the unwarranted criticism of Cynthia Cooper. Apparently administrators are allowed to be gratuitous and members are not. I apologize for not being aware that. Since I was peeved, I felt my reply was warranted, therefore, hardly gratuitous. The inference obviously, was talking out of his a**, not taking a dump. As in "talking out your a**, cuz your mouth knows better" No excretion intended.
Iggy, this is not a complicated BBS rule. Your opinions about the Rockets and Cynthia Cooper are absolutely welcome. You can be as peeved as you want about that stuff. In fact, I happen to be on your side of the Coop debate. If I were a censor, that's all I'd care about. But I'm not a censor, so whether I agree with you about Coop isn't the point. What's not welcome is accusing the person you're arguing with of talking out his "eliminatory orifice." When someone posts something you disagree with, make your point with facts and arguments. Resorting to schoolyard insults does no justice to your point of view and in fact discredits you, not the person you're arguing with. [This message has been edited by Will (edited December 04, 1999).]
