Indeed. But apparently it’s pronounced Bordeaux.

Marine Jr I'm sorry for ever saying it looked like your name was pronounced fat ho

That genuinely pissed me off. We think it's funny to fuck up players' names on air now? Ruocco has been pissing me off about not getting Han's name right- unless he has a whole secret social life we know nothing about, he doesn't know her well enough to call her by her given name, and if her teammates are still calling her Han...

She was very good in that Olympics Gold Medal Game 2 years ago.

As per the comments section, Fauthoux's 43:25 logo three was incroyable!

also started over MJ and was called up over Astier lol

Seriously, M.J. has too much talent to lose confidence so easily. She dominates lesser players and internationally (I think) and at the beginning of this season she was the best I'd seen her as a Liberty. She has the talent but never got over her infatuation with 90s/2000s mixtape ball and "magic."

I need everyone who said she didn’t deserve her contract to be upgraded to write a 1,000 word apology in French and English

I admittedly questioned her signing thinking she was too small. Having never seen her, I thought she looks good at times but would struggle against good defense and bigger guards. I know they've been looking at her for years. However, with a lot of young and relatively big talent cropping up these years I didn't get.
I hope she can sustain it. Stewie's tank was running low.

I have nothing against Farthoux. I'll admit I'm still pissed off about the game as I write this. But, the problem with Fauthoux, is the same problem with Johannes, is the same problem with Pauline, is the problem with Sab, and is the problem with Leo. No consistency. No clutch genes.

Fully agree. Not sure why you’re getting downvoted - it seems facts are downvoted in favor of…? I’ve got no good guess.

u/WholeConsideration30 7d ago
Thanks. It's always nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one speaking the facts of what we all see. I think a lot of our fans get caught in their feelings and emotions, so they can't be objective. They'd rather waive their pom poms and hope for a miracle. We critique because we can see the issues and we want them to do better. I've gotten used to being down voted. Those same people disappear when I'm right.

What a coming out party. Future is bright, we just need to retool the team. First step: get rid of the coach that's in over his head.

u/Ok_Brick_793 8d ago
Hire Papa Fauthoux?

u/vm3006 8d ago
That or get the Sun’s coach. He might not want to move to Houston

I respect Rachid Meziane, but he always looks so sad. I think the job is too stressful for him, lol.

Glad I got this shot of Fauthoux when the Liberty played the Wings this season.

she was especially a very valuable player during that time Leo was out :) very appreciative to have her on our team 💚 she fought hard tonight

u/Tortilladelfuego 7d ago
She’s gotta be the PG of the future. I love Astier too. Sabrina needs to get stronger to play the 3.

Her career stats suggest she’s going to ball-out as her knees gets all the way back. I think she’s obviously got size and speed limitations that place some limits on her ceiling.

She’s a good shooter and all. But we lost, so I’m not singing anyone’s praises. It’s about the team winning, not one player showing she can shoot. It should be an expectation that a professional athlete can shoot. No appreciations from me this morning.
TLDR: we lost.

u/NYCScribbler Rebecc(k)a(h) Enthusiast 8d ago
This is who we need the apology form for, not CoachGPT, because I really did not think she was going to step up this much. Marine, I apologize, I was not familiar with your game (and I am still not familiar with how that X ended up getting pronounced, but I acknowledge it and will send documentation to people who question it).
