6 losses in a row

We'll see when they roll into Phoenix to take on the million dollar coach's squad. Great win last night but it is telling how hard they had to work at home against a tired Liberty team without Stewie I'd say tomorrow night pressure is squarely on the Merc as the million dollar coach matches...

Yep, that's why the pressure is squarely on the Aces to win tonight over a short-handed and very tired Liberty squad who arrived in Sin City this morning

Agreed. And well one of the greatest players of all time never had an 0-40 streak he would have continued shooting in if he were 0 for39 I think his point in this observation was that shooters need to keep shooting even if they're on a cold streak. I really think this is true and if you stop...

Yep. Didn't Kobe say he'd rather go fo 0 for 20 rather than 0 for 5.

The second of the back-to-back in Las Vegas will be a clear test for the Liberty. It'll also be a great test for the Aces. I'd love to see the data on JJ's performance on the back end of back to back s. There are times I think her energy lags. The short turnaround from LA to LV will certainly...

Some thoughts as I'm watching Atlanta take care of Chicago. This game may set a record for two players on the floor who scored 110 points in their highest college scoring efforts. Not sure that's even come close other than previous previous Sky Dream matchups Mark Smesko is chill... I like his...

With just under 5 weeks remaining in the season, and with apologies to the million dollar coach, the three candidates for COY in what I expect to be a very close ballot Cheryl Reeve (presumptive) Karl Smesko ( a close second) Natalie Nakase The WNBA Coach of the Year (COY) award is given...

Tremendous game is Seattle! Storm can hit threes, once the game is out of sight? 4 of the 5 teams that played tonight protected the home court. The one road team to win ...without Pheesa.... Carrington certainly showed why Reeve wanted her.

Most important game tonight? I'm looking at the million dollar coach.

Defensively I think the Storm are very pleased with how Ezi has performed. Offensively like everyone else on the team I think there's lots of room for improvement. In their last game she missed two bunnies and often fails to finish at the rim. I'm wondering which coach on the staff is...

Yep, BUT, her age and performance in limited minutes with the Fever certainly did anticipate her lackluster performance with similar minutes in Phoenix. I believe her shooting percentage and efficiency deteriorated after reuniting with AT. At her age I'm not certain that should have been a...

Interesting trade. I'm wondering if the Storm expect that Stkes will give them more scoring which has been an ongoing issue

And the resigning in Phoenix is equally messy
