well said Bob, Go Girls!

LIGHTNING = BORING!!! sorry but so so true.

Have any of you guys bagging the Lightning even been to a game this season ?
Why is it boring, because they don't dunk ?

Sounds like sour grapes because the sixers (with the exception of a couple of games) have been pretty crap the last few seasons.
No-one in the WNBL can get close to them at the moment, (just beat the number 2 team by 21 points without Phillips playing) and dare I say it they could probably give a few NBL teams a run for their money at the moment.

It's about time people start getting behind the girls.

Don't the Lightning play under 18 boys club sides and lose?

bob youre my homie

ELG totally agree.

look out for the national "brazillian" team - !

most of these posts are from M.C.P's and you know what they say about men and their EGOS it's just a coverup for a small -----
so just ignore their posts and get down and support the Lightning Team and watch a good, intelligent, gutsy, game of basketball.
they don't need 3 balls, just one, will do!

Bob, just because people follow the 36ers and NBL basketball, how can you just assume that they would be equally as interested in womens basketball but just need to be prompted to do it. If people are not following the WNBL even after the 36ers are out (not yet a certainty), then they are not interested. I can assure you that even though its a remote possibility that the 36ers might make it past the regular season, a lot more interest would be generated from that achievement. Sorry, I attend 2 or 3 Lightning games each season and may attend some home finals games, but apart from that, it does not do a great deal to excite me. I wish them very well and from what they have achieved so far, they deserve to win the championship.

Thog: Here stadium, where our women basketball teams play.

Kug: We no can dunk, but good fundamentals.

Ornik: That more fun to watch.

[Zapp, Fry and Bender laugh.]

------------------------------------

Thog: But they make fun women's basketball.

Femputer: What? Did you explain how the women's good fundamentals make up for their inability to dunk?

Ornik: Yes. They still laugh.

Femputer: The men must die.

Ive been to a couple of games this year and I dont find it boring, but it certainly isnt as exciting as the men Im afraid.
However I will still probably head along to the playoff games.

"but no excitement, no athletisism, no crowd, no fun"...what an absolute load of garbage. How athletic is Phillips, Gahan, Camino not to mention the rest of the girls in this championship side. They can all shoot, they are all team players not relying on one or two people to get the job done. It's a shame the SA basketball community can't get behind the girls and show true sportsmanship. Instead it's all about the men and how fancy they can be. I would rather see a winning side than a bunch of egos doing tricks in a losing side.

GO GIRLS

Shutdown Ballinger and Hodge (and Ng on occasion) and the 36ers have no offence to go with their complete lack of defence.
Whereas who do you shut down in the Lightning to stop them scoring ? Everyone ?

One of these teams is currently the pinnacle of their League, while the other has become a bit of a joke.

Enough said.

Ummm, you might need to re-take my Marketing 101 course. I don't remember saying the best way to get more support is to insult your target audience!

Wow what a can of worms.
Looks like someones feelings have been hurt.

Hilarious stuff.

Face it.

Lightning are boring.

End of story.

Mines bigger than yours.... lol

Kobe for MVP - YOU'RE BORING!
