  LOL!!!! Love the last questions!
  
  Kris, I guess she won't confirm or deny that Dixon is coming. ;)
  
  My question is, who was released after the game?????

  That's what we were wondering too. BTurner played a few minutes as did Moore. Tari in street clothes.
  
  Let's take bets. I will stick with it being Barbara Turner. :-(
  
  For the record, I don't think we should drop anyone for Tamecka Dixon. This season is going nowhere, why drop any of these younger players?
  
  As far as Karleen, I'm sorry, she turns my stomach more and more. Takes the safe route of taking no responsibility other than "we got away from that a little bit" - the strong post play to start the game with a decent lead. The coach shouldn't have let it get away from that IMO. Snow, Sancho and Tina - if you're gonna start with three posts like that, that's a good combo and that's who got your lead, Coach "coachspeak". So tired of her generalities. Just cannot believe she still has her job.

  I think Tamara Moore will be released to make room for Dixon.
  
  Dixon provides veteran leadership at the end of games, BUT against a team like PHX, she won't be able to keep up with their quicker/faster guards. So, I don't think she will be a difference maker over what we have. With Dixon, we still don't make the playoffs, so what is the purpose of signing Dixon?
