I agree, but Nalyssa's play does seem to justify the move somewhat. The real mistake was the three way trade with the Sparks and Seattle where they let Seattle have the second pick in the drart for Loyd. There was a seried in at about the 4:50 mark in the fourth where loyd made four bad plays...

This is the major reason I felt the team made a major mistake not taking LA pick this year rather than sending it to Seattle for loyd. They lost the opportunity to get Malonga who the could definitely use right now. This season appears to be lost anyway and Loyd is a bad fit. They could have...

That is typical. A lot of players will light it up during on part of the season and disappear for the rest. Its just an advantage when the lighting up take place early on in respect to the All Star Voting. It usually too much of a popularity contest. I remember when Shonie Shimmel was voted a...

Plum is streaky. She was able to get away with it playing with the other three scoring threats at LV. Not all of the four scoring threats would get cold all at once. It showed up in Vagas when Gray was out and not recovered even when she got back. There is more to basketball than scoring and...

The Aces started their downward spiral at the beginning of last season. When Chelsea was out for most of the first half of the season their offensive stucture went to hell. Wilson, Young and Plumb started to play with less ball movement and that carried over even when Gray returned well into...

I don't care what Dawn Staley did initially for the Olympics. We need to remember she used her far less in the last Olympics. I like to watch individual players on defense when I see something that strikes me about their play. I can not speak for Loyd's early time in Seattle because I did not...

I disagree. The Aces have far too many players who want to handle the ball. They need players who can pla without the ball. Yes A'Ja is more effective at the 5 but when Chelsea missed the first half of the season last year the team got out of their winning pattern. AW began to want to handle the...

The Ace's managment really made a major mistake taking Jewel Loyd instead of LA first round pick for this year. I guess they thought they could replace Plumb with Loyd. I thought Loyd would be better defensively than Plumb but it did not work out that way. People always assume that speed equals...

Several issues that require a response. One that Clark was not fouled because her head did not fly back on contact. It is obvious that Sheldons hand does not hit her but swipes across her face. The poster who claims Clark was not hit in the eye appears to be trying to find some justification...

Its not just the issues that have already been mentioned. The players also complained that they had to either stay at the airport or in a hotel room the night before an away game because there is no airport close enough to get their for an early flight out. There are just too many issues for the...

You people are either blind as bats or you have allowed your subliminal wishes to cloud your perspectives. Now the inside defender did nothing wrong. She was just holding her position. However, Ju Ju was being bodied by two defenders. The outside defender was pushing her into the inside...

It's Rose and Vinyle in the final. Hey that rymes. Owls got knocked off their perch without Collier, while Chelsea Gray scored 39 to delace the Lace's. It was Naz Hillmon. She scored 8 pts on 4 of 5 shots. She seemed to be the only one except Chelsea who could hit a shot.

Womens basketball has caught up to mens basketball in respect to the " any given night " factor. When teams are sort of close in ability it become more probable that the lesser team will beat the better one if they are hot or the other team has an off night. The greater the divide in talent the...

I always believe that the value of rankings when dependent on single game outcomes should consider the factors that resulted in the win or loss. Basketball by nature is a game of hot and cold shooting and streaks. A player playing the best game of their life is not going to happen in every game...

Wow! Unbelievable! A fan who is not influenced by homerism. Many props to you.
