WNBA Basketbrawl.. Anything is possible??

SirFozzie · 07-23-2008, 02:16 AM

ESPN - Los Angeles vs. Detroit - Recap - July 22, 2008

This is where I risk upsetting Schmidty by saying "Is it any shock that a team led by former Bad Boys Bill Lambieer and Rick Mahorn IN DETROIT would be the WNBA team in a brawl?"

(yes, bad pun, I apologize).

shame to see a Detroit player suffer a Milton Bradley like injury :/

Karlifornia · 07-23-2008, 02:46 AM

Brawls are awesome. That is all I have I to say.

Jas_lov · 07-23-2008, 06:50 AM

Bad publicity is better than no publicity. The WNBA is desperate for people to pay attention so this whole charade was a publicity stunt to get people talking. One player left in a wheelchair because she got pushed and fell down? What a joke! How many people actually knew before they read or saw this that the WNBA was currently in season? Exactly.

I did. I saw that at one point, Atlanta was 0-17. I was rooting for a winless season for them, if only for the novelty. Then they won like 2 straight, so I went back to totally not caring, like usual.

Well, there's the 12,000+ at the game last night. And the ones who sold out Phillips Arena to see LA (okay, to see Parker) on their only trip to town. And while attendance is down a bit from last year overall & down a lot from the peak in '98, given the economy I don't see that being surprising at all nor much cause for additional concern. Merchandise sales are double last year's so far and I'd say they've got a decent chance to make a run up the sports food chain over the next 2-3 years if Parker & the rest of the new crop stay healthy.

I think the sprained knee might have had something to do with it. You probably would have been curled in in the fetal position and weeping like a baby.

Young Drachma · 07-23-2008, 11:03 AM

It's not bad press for the league and it'll have the added effect of creating an LA v. Detroit rivalry. I'm fine with it.

rkmsuf · 07-23-2008, 11:05 AM

Lisa Leslie was crying after Rick Mahorn pushed her down.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Jas_lov · 07-23-2008, 11:10 AM

All Mahorn did was tap her and she flew 20 feet across the court. The whole thing was a joke and Rick Mahorn doesn't deserve all the criticism he's getting for this. It's like Bill Lambier said, Rick Mahorn is known for being a peacemaker.

MikeVic · 07-23-2008, 11:13 AM

Yeah had no idea the season was going on. Was that Lobo interviewing a crying Leslie?

JediKooter · 07-23-2008, 11:38 AM

Was the game sponsored by Midol?

Didn't Dwayne Wade get carted off in a wheelchair becuase of a shoulder injury a couple of years ago?

What about Paul Pierce crying and having to be carried off the court during the playoffs?

Go establish some new "He-Man Woman Haters Club" somewhere else.

I doubt your reaction would be any more "manly" if Rick Mahorn had pushed you down.

pussy

I can pretty much guarantee that if I was a professional athlete and Rick Mahorn pushed me down I wouldn't be crying 15 minutes later.

Unless I had a fractured ulna.

And of course good ol' Bill is both 100% impartial in the matter and a poster boy for model conduct.

The Kevin McHale episode of Cheers still cracks me up...

But Dwayne Wade pretty much is a woman.

Sounds like she's ready for the NBA.

I was expecting that myself.

Sgran · 07-24-2008, 08:16 AM

Calling that a "fight" is stretching the term to the extreme. The sprained knee was a fluke. Most NBA fights are also a joke -- a lot of posturing. The one exception in recent memory was when Anthony Peeler elbowed KG straight in the jaw. That was the real deal.

I'm not upset. I miss McNasty and McFilthy's brutal antics. Even though it was chicks, it still brought back some great memories.

A further update on this. She didn't just sprain her knee, she tore her ACL.

That makes her reaction positively stoic compared to the theatrics of Wayne and Pierce.

MikeVic · 07-24-2008, 09:14 AM

So some 50-year-old woman is now gonna play in the WNBA it seems? Come on Julio Franco, lace them up!!

We need those three to sign with the Detroit Shock now, in addition to that woman rkmsuf linked to.

Heh!

I bet that 50 year old woman would school you in a game of one-on-one. You'd probably end up crying at the end of it, fractured ulna or not.

RomaGoth · 07-24-2008, 10:13 AM

Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that Mustang's real estate agent ended up in a WNBA thread?

Noop · 07-24-2008, 10:15 AM

Who ever hit that coach is lucky that she did it on national tv.

from the description of her realtor abilities, this might be a wise career decision for her...

Rizon · 07-24-2008, 03:18 PM

I was flipping through the channels and actually watched it live. Pretty funny stuff. And the two male announcers were pretty upset about it.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-24-2008, 06:10 PM

And the verdicts are in ...
Detroit
Plenette Pierson 4 games & $1500
Rick Mahorn 2 games & $1000
4 players 1 game & $500 each

Los Angeles
Shannon Bobbitt & Murriel Page 2 games & $500 each
Candace Parker, Lisa Leslie, Delisha Milton-Jones 1 game & $500 each

In order to leave each team with 8 active players available, suspensions will be staggered & served alphabetically

Is that indicative of what Mahorn is now worth, or did he just get off very lightly here?

SFL Cat · 07-24-2008, 07:12 PM

That was a brawl? Come on women, lets see some hair pullin', some torn jersies...a REAL catfight! Come on!!!!
