HOW ABOUT SOME WNBA LA SPARKS Open Threads. Lets show love for ladies in purple and gold
Basically I just feel it would fun interesting and informative to have some L.A. Sparks Open threads leading towards the end of the WNBA season. It would provide more things to talk about amongst the community other than the same rehashed topics over and over. I can read about how kobe's better than lebron all day or how amazing Fisher's intangibles are or how Adam Morriosn is the G.O.A.T. but a lil shift of topic would be cleansing for my purple and gold soul. The Sparks are in the Fight of their lives right now for the last two spots in the playoffs. We all know playoff basketball is intense and serious and it would be nice to watch some basketball durin this long summer. Not only that but we still have to wait for the World's Mens team to start playing as well. So turn off your bias and take a look at some fine athletes playing the sport we love to play,watch and obsess about. LET'S GO SPARKSSSSSSSSS. LISA LESLIA G.O.A.T of the WOMENS BASKETBALL Candace Parker the future G.O.A.T.

N**** (can i say that lol)please I'm a guy.
I just have respect for womens basketball. I love the UConn Women. Candance is a beast if u watch her play and there are a bunch of talented players. U see more skill moves than super athlete moves but there are some pretty athletic ladies too. I pretty sure 90% of you couldnt beat these girls and im sure some of you could dunk and it wouldnt mean nuttin cuz u wouldnt get the lane to do one

were not talking about me vs an athlete. anyone would score 200 on me. even my nephew. maybe your grandma.
and it’s all about preference. you may like women’s basketball, but others, not so much.

yeah i feel you
i just feel it would a nice break from the same shit over and over. i read this blog every comment in the morn when i wake p and before i go to bed (SMH) I THOUGHT the people here were more OPEN MINDED and diverse but i see SS&R proved me wrong. Hey i wouldnt miss anything important for the Sparks like i would the Lakers but jeez half the people who commented seem like they wouldnt even TRY it. Get out of your comfort zone for god’s sake. I’m black listen to hiphop all day and grew up in the hood and i watched NASCAR. My friend(who is whitle lol) got me into it just by inviting to a sunday get together and then i went to a race(Loudon I Beleive) point being maybe we can give it a try. INSTEAD OF ATHLETES DATES ON THE FRONT PAGE. cuz i’m sure actual basketball is less relevant (rolls eyes) That was long but not really directed at you please dont be offended. There is a mod or whatever acting like he’ll die just to think of it tho. (won’t point any e-fingers)

You're getting a little touchy about the fact that people have no interest in the WNBA. Why do you care?
That doesn’t mean they’re not open-minded. They just don’t like it. And if it means that much to you, you’re free to start an open-thread on the WNBA. No one is going to stop you. Just make a fanpost; you might be surprised who shows up.

Many people here have attested to watching the WNBA
And found it the equivalent of watching paint dry. Watching it more isn’t going to change that perception, and saying they’re not “open-minded” for thinking otherwise is just imposing your viewpoint on them. I can try to eat natto until I get sick (addendum: I nearly threw up the first time I ate natto), but I’ll still think it’s disgusting crap each time no matter what you say to me.

I went to one Sparks game
And Deebo from “Friday” was one of the halftime announcer/entertainer there. I will never go again.

Most people who follow hoops for real for real know who she is and i’m sure a lot of you have watched some college womans ball. UCONN gets numbers out here in the East Coast. rutger and Texas are pretty good too

I just think it’s really boring.

I just don't watch it because I don't know many of the players.
But if I tune in, and theres a player I’ve heard of that is playing, I’ll watch the game.

Sorry
I’d rather discuss LeBron, the Celtics, Vince Carter and John Hollinger until the end of time before caring about the WNBA. That’s not a sexist remark either. It just sucks. This post s kinda funny.
Post Sparks threads in the fan post section I guess, if you want. SSR front page has a rep to uphold.

Then you are really sad. I thought better of you
That whole post sounded arrogant and elitist like what makes u or this blog too good for it? I’m part of this “community” as well as anyone and i’m sure that most of the people who post reguarly would still read and post up on the topic. this one lil fanpost got how many comments in one day really? SS&R rep is that of a blog that a place to be for those who want to talk basketball with some other well versed bball fans not some snotty shoot my nose at anything place. I’m a true blue Laker fan and i will support my lakers and that includes keeping tabs on the D-Leauge and and the Sparks. If its really that serious i would do it my self. I think a lil celebration for the ladies is called for. Really hollinger hell no i’d rather watch the nets urggh. U dropped so much in my eyes with this statement
by Blackmamba81024 on Aug 20, 2010 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Jesus, it's not that serious. They had a thread going for the World Cup, so do one for WNBA.
It really isn’t anything to whine about. And learn how to take a joke.
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
I know how to take a joke. And i'm not whining so dont go there
Maybe u should be more open minded. I’m being totally serious and it if there was a joke i’d like to know where cuz i didnt find it funny(maybe the hollinger part) I just think its Sad we can have a post about Rick Fox and Lamars wives but its crazy if i say how about one about the Sparks. Maybe its just me but that is nuts. I can’t believe that is something u’d rather read about.
by Blackmamba81024 on Aug 21, 2010 10:04 AM PDT up reply actions
I'll go there because you are definitely whining. I've lost count of how many comments have bemoaned the fact that no one wants to watch the WNBA, even in another thread.
And if you thought only the Hollinger part was a joke, then you don’t know jokes. You seriously think someone wants to watch paint dry? And again, start your own thread if you so desperately want to discuss the Sparks or any other WNBA team. You are perfectly free to do so. Even Wave Ocean said he would come in if someone did that. He is super excited about today’s game; he emailed me last night and asked me to deliver a message to you, which I did below.
But stop saying people aren’t open-minded because they have no interest in the WNBA. That’s a good way to piss, and turn, people off.

We're not "elitist" for thinking that the WNBA is boring as hell
Hell, I think men’s college ball is incredibly boring unless you have a premier player on either team that can crack the monotone of “pass fruitlessly around the perimeter until someone is somewhat open.” The WNBA is even worse than that. There’s a reason WNBA commercials interpose clips from the NBA to spice up the interest because regular WNBA play is simply not exciting to a good chunk of the population. There’s absolutely no reason that we, as Lakers fans, have an obligation to follow anything but the Lakers on this blog. Your indignation is rather misplaced here.

Lol i semi agree with mens college hoops. and i wasn't talking about u when u i said elitist but the comment was
I’m sorry i dont want it misconstrued. I dont mean that we have an obligation to do so cuz your right we dont. I’m just saying its the dog days of summer and seriously if Lebron and company weren’t such big new this summer it would been highly boring. The women in the WNBA do not pass the ball around til someone is semi-open lol. Over the years they have been changing. Now they split 4 quarters instead of a college like two halves. Some of the elite woman are acutually fun to watch. Taurasi actual has a lot of moves and is a player who is double teamed cuz she constantly beats her man(?) off the dribble and her pullup is nasty. To be honest the best players in the WNBA right are mostly post players which is probaly why some see it as boring. I find post play fun to watch(maybe cuz i like to post alot myself) there is a lot of footwork going on and its not something u get to see in NBA too much. Well other NBA teams the Lakers are loaded with post up people lol. I’m not indignant just cuz its not being done but the reasoning behind it which is trash after some of the things that were posted. I understand some people think its boring we are all different but at the same time try something new. I’m pretty sure most have never really watched a game they just see it and go hell no!!!

Parker dropped 40 twice i think. She’s so nice i wish i could marry her mmmm lol

A message for Blackmamba81024 from Wave Ocean:
“I’ll be watching, cheering on my Storm and gleefully rooting for your Sparks to FAIL!” He hopes it cheers you up to know someone else is as much into the WNBA as you are. Enjoy the game.

just make a fanpost and see if people show up. Dont drill it on others who arent interested.
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?

i wanted to gauge peoples interest with this fanpost. i have no problem havin discussions about anything. I’m really a basketball nut so i can talk about that all day lol.
