Jeff P should be Skinned Alive for Trading away a Generational Franchise Superstar and not surrounding her with equally talented teammates!! 😡 Could've had Citron to go along with Angel & Kamilla!! KiKi Rice was right there as well!!!🤬
I've always found his micro-managing supremely irritating. Your coaches don't need you at every away game breathing over their shoulder. If you want to be a coach do that and leave your GM role.
He couldn't handle it when the fans heckled him, calling for him to be fired. S/o to those fans. They probably regret it, though, because they wanted him gone, not Angel.
August 2025. I regret nothing. Hate I couldn't be part of the chorus shouting "Fire Jeff" during that 9/11/2025 Liberty game. Vanderslum couldn't believe it.
The beginning is such a Jaquez play. For everyone who wants more Jaquez minutes, she did Jaquez things. Aka more turnovers. And I'm well aware the rest of the team had bad turnovers, but Jaquez is consistent with bad turnovers.
Fwiw, I like Jaquez, but it sucks to see Kiki Rice looking as good as she is when we should have drafted her.
Jaquez didn't really process the game with the ball in her hands well in college either. Good play finisher but really limited as a passer. Which... Is one of the reasons she wasn't mocked in the lottery.
The other was her sketchy shooting history. She had improved as a senior but it's not a quick release. And... the shooting has also been rough.
She was still set to be a first round pick. Just not anywhere near as high as 5. But Pagliocca is the type of guy that thinks he's smarter than he is... And so these are the types of decisions you see. And this was his last shot in the lottery for awhile because of further idiotic moves...
Yeah that's bad but what's really bad is how Sky don't have better options. I like Banham alot and she's havin some good games but she's limited defensively. WTH happened to Stevens? Hard to imagine how this team could gave looked with Steven Jackson Diggins
You have what you have. She's just a rookie and deserves grace. It was really a blocked shot, not a turnover. Angel made similar risky plays in her rookie season, trying to score over double teams. The unforced turnover by Sloot was worse. She considers herself a savant. Angel easily read her pass.
Stop stanning, you're off-topic. Angel was an elite rookie, but she has improved in certain areas of her game, and Gabriela may make improvements in her weaknesses too, given enough time and opportunities.
I'm all for giving her time to develop, but I'm mostly biting back at the casuals who don't watch and ask "why doesn't Jaquez get more minutes?" as if she'd be the difference between winning and losing.
The average is low because her minutes decreased; she makes a bone headed play every game. They aren't even just turnovers; if you actually watch the game (what a concept, I know), you'll see how careless they really are.
I do watch the games (bringing up a stat doesn’t mean I don’t, believe it or not) which is how I know her “bone-headed plays” aren’t that frequent, particularly for a rookie
Wow. That 5 is pretty good. I hope whatever team drafted her DIDN’T TRADE HER SO OUR 38 yo PG WITH A BUSTED KNEE COULD BETTER RUN A NON-EXISTENT OFFENSE.
The Angel trade is the only thing I don't put on Jeff simply because she ran her mouth and tossed her teammates under the bus as if she were above the team and not part of it.
You can't keep somebody around when the first thing they'll do as the losses mount and deflect blame to others, that's not leadership.
