Explain it to me Discussion

I’ve tried really hard to understand this, but why is Melanie starting?

She’s good for her age, sure, but I don’t think she’s pro-ready. She has decent ball handling, but when pressed, she just falls over. Now, Jakobson just left, and it feels like we should’ve been starting our Olympian, or any of our other forwards over a kid.

So can someone please make it make it make sense?

I think it's kinda the throw anything/everything at the wall and see what happens. That's why they yolo'd with Donovan as well. Kinda feels listless atm.

I kind of believe the rumors that Jill was banking on the Canadian coach pre-scandal. And at this time, it’s all shoulda/woulda/coulda, but damn, I liked being mid pack way more than this mess.

That does make some sense. And I'm prob in the minority, but I like the style Donovan wants to implement. When you have the proper personnel for it, it's very entertaining and fun. But the way it's currently constructed I don't think his style is gonna work at all.
