I don't think it is necessarily anything anyone said to her. I just think she realized she can't have bad days and stay on a roster with how competitive WNBA spots are and she is meeting the challenge.
Raises hand for being in the 1% of posters who felt like Queen was better suited for the WNBA.

Athleticism being freed up a bit more.
Fever vs Dream on Prime video now--Smith/Egbo vs Wallace, plus drafts picks #1 vs #2. NaLyssa just left floor with right ankle sprain, out remainder of game. 18 points.
Nalyssa leaves todays game with an ankle injury. No idea how bad.
Oh my goodness Queen

I also thought the refs lived in her head. And I can kinda understand.

This view is crazy. Queen's vertical is insane.
You know what else didn't happen TODAY? A win.
Bottom Line: Celebrate AFTER the win is in hand. Not when you are still trailing.

Weird statement
I never expected Queen to make a WNBA impact. She just seemed too inconsistent. But I'm happy she has proven me wrong.

Not sure what's 'weird' about having situational awareness.
In this case, Indiana was trailing by multiple possessions with 3 minutes left. Under those circumstances, an excessive celebration probably isn't warranted. It wasn't like it was the game-winning block.
When one spends too much time engaging in theatrics, they often times lose focus and become distracted.
Not sure how many times we all witnessed an excessive celebration these last few years - only for it to be immediately followed up with a wide-open three or some back-door cut on the inbounds pass (by the likes of OU, Iowa State, or Michigan).
At the end of the day, save the over-the-top celebrations for when the game is well in hand and under control. It's no different in any sport, really.
And if we're talking about MIC Drops, I've got one for you: It's called SCOREBOARD.
And last night's scoreboard read: Atlanta 85, Indiana 79.
If I'm Atlanta, I'll let you have your 'rah rah' moment. I'll gladly take the "W" every time.

Sometimes, personal awareness is also important. Not sure we're seeing it here.LTBear19 said:

Or MAYBE, she was just excited. Nothing wrong with that at any point, no matter if you're winning or losing!LTBear19 said:

Sports is literally all about the hype. The energy comes from the players. I would hate to go to a basketball game where every player looks uninterested after they make a big play. Sports are simply entertainment and there would be nothing entertaining about that.LTBear19 said:

Queen's team was down. They needed energy and fire to spark a comeback. There's absolutely nothing wrong with letting passion come out on the court, especially if it gives your team a boost. Even then, I wouldn't call her celebration excessive. The play was dead and she was just pumped up about the block.
Right after Queen got drafted, she was told on the phone that she needed to bring her energy and fire to the franchise. She's doing just that. It seems to be working for her, she's 3rd in the league in blocks and 6th in steals.
I remember majority of people saying that egbo made a huge mistake declaring for the draft, stick to your day job guys.

Wish we had seen this energy consistently at Baylor. I've watched most of the Indiana Fever games and Queen's play & energy is outstanding! Keep it going!
NaLyssa is exactly who we all know she is--a highly skilled player who brings it every game! Sic'em NaLyssa & Queen!!

Egbo is starting because Indiana blew up its roster and gutted the team to start over. Of the 12 teams in the WNBA, Egbo might start on 2: Indiana and maybe Atlanta. She might be a backup on a 3rd: NYC. She wouldn't be a rotation player on the other 9 teams. She may develop into a legit pro contributor [the pace of play better suits her skills]. But don't go anointing her as the Queen of the WNBA [pun intended] quite yet.
