Good call. I would shut A'ja down for awhile and let that wrist injury heal up. Plus she has been dealing with some shoulder issues as well. Shut her down and I would hope that she sits out the All-Star game as well.

I like Yueru. She has a sweet midrange shot, but she is painfully slow on transition defense.

I am impressed with Yueru as well. Comfortable shooting the three and super solid at the FT line. Completely agree on her slow transition defense. Her and Teaira McCowan must be the two slowest bigs in the WNBA as well as the only players with less than 2" vertical jumps.

I am a tad perplexed on Geiselsoder, who was playing well before she left for an excellent Eurobasket showing. Lots of positive energy, but not-so-positive results offensively in the three games since she's been back.

Maybe it's the entire freshman class hitting a wall for the Wings. With the exception of Geiselsoder, their 3 other rookies have been playing heavy minutes lately (Paige has averaged almost 35 minutes per game for the year, following a very long college season). I'm hopeful that this year's challenges will reap benefits next season, following an off-season in which they can all rest up, heal, train to eliminate their deficiencies and reflect on what went right and wrong this season and why.
With regard to Li, it's obvious that her defensive (& offense when in the paint or going to the basket) actions need to be much quicker and stronger. The encouraging aspect of this is that she is apparently bright, coachable and motivated and, with a dedicated off-season of work, might be able to improve substantially.
Here's hoping for all of them.
 
Wow, the Mystics really tried to lose this game in the first half, but the Aces outdid them in the second. Shakira Austin looked awful in the first, but really came alive in the second, so she had a lot to do with the turnaround.

Hey, I'm on my annual pilgrimage to the beach, so I'm even half-way ahead of most players by 5 p.m. through late July. Count me in! :cool:

So...mine will be way too early calls on games, only to have the trajectory of said game alter drastically, right?
 
Atlanta wasted a 30 point effort from Jordin Canada. Indiana pulled away in Q4. Mitchell and Boston provided most of the scoring, also I think Cunningham's best offensive output so far w/ the Fever. I was wondering if she was ever going to get going.
 
Not a surprising night in Seattle, with the Storm taking down the Sun, 79-65. What did catch my attention was the scoring balance;
  • 4 Storm(s) in double figures (Williams-18, Ogwumike-14, Magbegor & Diggins-14)
  • Those four took between 10 and 12 shots each.
  • Erica Wheeler had five assists, as did Diggins, Ogumwike and Williams.
  • Committed only 7 turnovers, none each for the backcourt of Diggins and Wheeler.

Yes, it was against the Sun, but tidy night at the office.

Great first quarter by Chicago vs Minnesota.. talent in the W is so great and it's cool to see players play to their potential. The first quarter for Chicago is like how u expect their players to play at their best. Rachel Banham in college was such a bucket and has had moments in the W. I know she coaches on the side as well. She's physical and a lights out shooter. I'm like y isnt she like a quality starting point guard, I never understood it. Angel looks like she's taking a leap and I love it. It just takes time, she'll continue to a improve but she loves the game and is so competitive. Cardoso has missed some bunnies but she's taking great shots and she's physical. Chicago looks great.
Minnesota doesn't look amazing. Sometimes I think they play down to their competition and or play at a b minus. They are consistently good but how do they get to that next level consistently. Idk it's a concern of mine. Not hating though, I like their pieces a lot. I almost think they should start Diamond Miller. I know it's easy to say after their hot start. But she adds that dynamic
 
I started watching midway through the 3rd, feels like Minnesota getting every call in their favor

Hopefully those out there in social media and some sports circles are done panning her efforts during the off-season and with Lisa Leslie. It looks like it's translating on the court and she can only get better.

Calls definitely shifted to Chicagos favor but they stepped up and got the job done. Big games for Atkins/Reese/Cardoso and a very big win for Chicago. Reese’s streak of great play continues

Halftime:
A'ja: 10-12 for 25 points
Rest of team: 7-21 for 20 points

A'ja doing all the work for the Aces yet again...

So...Young must've had a pretty decent 2nd half? Looks like Loyd got involved too.
