Like someone said earlier, very few teams are good every year.

I don't think all the analyzing as to who's going to play how many minutes next year changes any of that. Cullop has done a very good job here (gotta get in NCAA to be great) but right now her team is mediocre at best and she needs to do something about it. I think she will. My only analysis is that getting better players would help a lot.

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. We fans have been spoiled over the last few years, and now we're getting a taste of what it feels like to be average.

We don't have to like it do we?

All the over analyzing and hand wringing is not going to change the fact that this is a down year for the lady Rockets. Things more than likely will get better having an injury free team, along with the influx of new talent in 2014-2015.

Not sure what over analyzing is. Or hand wringing. What none of us knows if whether the large group of new players next year will be talented or not.

Quite a few of the posts on the last 3 pages of this thread pretty much reinforces my comment on the over analyzing of this team. Not saying it's bad, but just give it a rest.

Definitely not! Nor, I hope, will we have to get used to it.
