I wonder how the new Boston franchise will handle parking for the fans, especially season ticket holders. I live near Hartford. I wouldn't mind driving to Boston for games, but I have no idea where I would park. If they want to sell tickets (especially season tickets) to fans outside the...

Why do you think it will bomb in Boston? The Valkyries are doing fine in the Bay Area, a very similar location, with a roster that is really no more talented than the Sun's current roster.

Why does nobody mention Ayanna in this thread? I agree that with Serah / Jana / Gandy available at the center position, Ice will most likely be a backup to Sarah at the 4, but then what if Ayanna really shows her talent? If Ice isn't careful and (more importantly) competitive, she could end up...

I am a season ticketholder, and I got this email today. I didn't take it as a definitive commitment to remain at Mohegan Sun in 2026, and I don't think it is. If they make a deal over the winter to relocate the franchise, all they have to do is refund what the season ticket holders who renewed...

Geno absolutely does coach his non-star players to get the ball to their teammates who are the scorers, and he coaches the scorers to take it to the rim rather than passing off when they have a scoring opportunity. There was an early play in one of the Final Four games this year where Sarah...

The next emerging grammatical super-question is whether right-thinking writers and grammarians should countenance the disappearance of "whom" from the spoken and written language. There was a popular song a few decades ago entitled "Who Can I Turn To When Nobody Needs Me?". A prudish...

Geno's guard choices will include KK, K9, and Kelis. When he wants to make a substitution during a game, he might say, "KK, get K9!". During practice, he seems to prefer one syllable monikers whenever possible. This year, he will need two syllables to distinguish these three players.

You are assuming that the Celtics would be the owner of any WNBA franchise in Boston. Why couldn't some other investors own the WNBA franchise and contract for the use of TD Garden for their games?

I think that a possible solution would be for the new owner to arrange to play the WNBA games in May and June at either Hartford or Mohegan Sun (maybe have some games in each venue), and then play exclusively in Boston in July, August, and September. The team would have a "New England" name...

Yesterday I decided to re-watch both of the games last season between Southern Cal and UConn, for the purpose of giving Kayleigh's game a more focused look. Indeed, she played in both games, and did well as a backup combo guard. She showed some real speed, defensive tenacity, and basketball...

It's a stretch to count Katie Lou because she is out for the season. If you count her, you might as well count Dorka.

The bolded portion of your post assumes that UConn beats Utah on 11/21. If they don't, they would play the loser of Michigan/Syracuse.

Late in the regular season, Geno made a comment about how Ice really preferred to take 15-foot jump shots than to mix it up in the paint to get in position for a layup. I agree that this has been a consistent trend over her two years of playing time. Maybe Geno will conclude that it's more...

You didn't offer your full starting lineup, so we are left to guess what position Ashlynn will play when she starts, and who sits as a result. Would you make Ashlynn the starting point guard, and send KK to the bench? I don't think that will happen, since KK is a better passer and defender...

We don't know for a fact that Geno made an offer to her during her visit. Neither he nor anyone else on the team would state publicly that he did not, even if that were the case. If he didn't, then that by itself explains why she hasn't committed. Even if he did offer her, does it really make...
