Gustafson had a great game yesterday!

Really cool to see Megan get a bigger role/opportunity with Portland, and just an outstanding performance getting the start for the Fire. Portland has been a really fun team to watch this year--playing with a lot of joy.

And people said adding teams to the WNBA would be a negative.........

Really like the way she hustles on every play. Also I've heard she's tremendously regarded in the locker room.

I have been watching her since her first year at Iowa, and I think she is just a really good person. Also, a great BBall player as well.

Yep, she was unstoppable her last couple years at iowa, and yes a great person

Megan is a hard worker never quits. She continues to get better. Couldn't happen to a better person. Way to go Megan!

Megan!!!!!!

Has Portland become the new "it" team?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Its funny

Its funny having watched the game I'd swear Meg is taller than AB who's listed at 6'5" and Meg at 6'3". Doesn't look right. maybe she's wearing platform sneaks..

It is always good to see players who are well spoken, well respected etc AND are graduates of the U of I.

There will never be another Megan Gustafson.

And once again we see that it takes the right situation for a player to flourish. As I've said before, if Caitlin had gone to UConn or Notre Dame or anywhere other than Lisa Bluder's Hawkeyes, she'd have just been another good player. We can see that playing out in the WNBA where the Fever can't find a coach who knows how to let Caitlin loose to play her game. Neither CC nor the Fever will ever realize greatness until they take the handcuffs off CC. The Fever should either do that or trade CC to someplace that will.

Megan did have a great game. And once again we see that it takes the right situation for a player to flourish. Nobody ever became great by sitting on the bench. Ask Kurt Warner what it means to just get a chance. Congrats to Megan for making the most of this belated opportunity.

BTW: As I've said before, if Caitlin had gone to UConn or Notre Dame or anywhere other than Lisa Bluder's Hawkeyes, she'd have just been another good college player. We can see more evidence of that in the WNBA where the Fever can't find a coach who knows how to let Caitlin loose to play her game. Neither CC nor the Fever will ever realize greatness until they take the handcuffs off CC. The Fever should either do that or trade CC to someplace that will. Right now the best defense against Caitlin is the one being used by her own coach. What a sad, sad joke. What an incredible waste of incomparable talent.

It's nice to see her teammates get her the ball when she's open in the paint, something that really never happened in her past few years in the W.
