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.

Our guards have to keep their defenders honest. by sixtythreer
When we give up on shooting from beyond the arc, it allows the other team's guards to sink down
into and around the paint. It clogs things up for Bri and Jessica, and it makes the lob much harder.
History shows that Marina and Arike will eventually start hitting their threes. But they will never make one, if they don't shoot them. I would even like to see Jackie take two or three a game. We can't give up on the three like we did last night in the 3rd periods and early fourth period, and expect the paint to be open.
The lob works best when Bri and Jessica have room to adjust to where it comes down.
