This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

We had to be great today by NDLAW88

We were good in the first half. Poor at best in the third. Not going to type what I think of our heart in the 4th.

Too many missed free throws. Poor boxing out leading to numerous second chance points. Lack of composure with the ball and the refs. Missed lay ups.

Worst of all, no heart on defense from Arike. Marina still getting her legs and could have used some rest but at least she battled.

JY missed a lot of shots she should have hit too but she battled (but her failure to box out Williams on that 3 point play was critical).

Ugh.
