I am kind of hoping for a 3/6 matchup of the Sun/Fever in the playoffs. I think that could be a fun series and one that the Fever could win.
Clark looked superhuman playing against grown women tonight, dropping 31 points and 12 assists with just 3 TOs. Guess it doesn't make a difference if she's going up against 18 year olds or grown women.
Dallas beat Minny 94-76. It was 55-36 in the second half. Getting Satou back seems to be making a big difference for the Wings.
A winning record.
That sounds like a Sportscenter top 10! I need to find a video.Play of the night was Sabrina literally on the floor getting her own rebound and making a bucket.

This is the 2nd blowout loss to the Wings Minnesota has suffered this season. Minnesota is still the hottest team in the league, with 8 games left.Maybe Vegas losing to Dallas wasn't so bad after all? Wings blowing the doors off the Lynx, the formerly hottest team in the league.
With all the criticism Christie Sides has gotten I’d say she has done a hell of a job this back half of the year. They play team basketball, she finally sat Wallace and adjusted her rotations.

Yep. I am right there with you. That Sun/Fever combo is slowly developing into a soft rivalry.I am kind of hoping for a 3/6 matchup of the Sun/Fever in the playoffs. I think that could be a fun series and one that the Fever could win.
100% agree! Coach Sides got hammered at the start of the season. "Can't coach", "Not the right fit", "Over her head", and "Not a great coach for CC". Now? I am not hearing that noise anymore. She has her squad playing at a high level. Well done, Coach Sides!!With all the criticism Christie Sides has gotten I’d say she has done a hell of a job this back half of the year.

Dallas is just a bad match up for my Lynx. Dallas blew out my Lynx earlier this season. Just goes to show that the W is tough and there really is no easy wins out there. You still gotta play the games and be locked in and focused. Hats off to Dallas on their win.No mention of Minnesota getting embarrassed (again) by the Wings?Same team that the Aces lost to (by 3, mind you) and had everyone claiming that the season was over for LV.
And A'ja had 42 against them while Phee had how many?

To bad the old Timex commercials of back in the day, "Takes a licking. Keeps on ticking." are no longer a thing. Would have been a good endorsement opportunity for Clark. BTW, in the upcoming season if your teams star player gets run over I don't really expect the response to be "Ah, that's okay.".
Great milestone for Carleton. Love the to see her having a such a great season.
I didn't see it, but apparently DeShields had THREE hard fouls on Clark in about a minute right before all the starters (other than Reese...) sat down for both teams. Lots of chatter on the internet. Seems like Chicago completely lost their cool as they were getting blown out.
As for Reese, it's not even deniable that Coach Weatherspoon left her in the game to chase a double double. Probably not the first time, but it was very blatant last night.
I read somewhere that Carter went after Mabrey in a recent Sky-Sun matchup. Chicago is making it REALLY easy to not root for them.Not exactly new. Chennedy Carter mugging Clark earlier in the season sort of kicked things off with Reese applauding the foul from the bench like she was paying a bounty for teammates to try and hurt Clark.
They certainly are one of the hottest teams, but NY and even Indiana have also been hot as of late.This is the 2nd blowout loss to the Wings Minnesota has suffered this season. Minnesota is still the hottest team in the league, with 8 games left.

I saw those calls from a similar perspective. People are reading way too much into this.In real time, I thought the first foul was a nothing burger (the on-air analyst called it “nothing”) and the second one a real foul, but no big deal. The third one was hard contact after a turnover leading to a transition break, but not malicious, IMO. DeShields obviously felt bad and went to help Clark up. Her reaction was nothing like Kennedy’s reaction after Kennedy had delivered her cheap shot on Clark earlier in the year.
Without the Sky-Clark history, I wondered whether the 3rd foul would have been reviewed for a flagrant foul. Still, it was not the worst flagrant foul call given it was hard contact from behind.
