Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5293075, member: 6620"] So, while watching the Sparks vs the Mercury and now the Aces vs the Valkyries, these two thoughts -- which have permeated my brain from time to time -- hit me again: [LIST] [*]I know there were, ahem, administrative issues, but the Las Vegas Aces gave the Sparks Dearica Hamby & a first-round draft choice for Amanda Zahui B and a second-roundi pick. Dearica Hamby is the 9th leading scorer in the W right now and I'm once again watching Becky Hammons play A'ja Wilson and three guards trying to score, whether Kia Stokes is in the game or not. [*]One of the gripes that has followed "Thibs" around in the WNBA is that he'll stick with certain players and then run them into the ground, which can have an effect on performance but also allows teams to defense them. I feel like Hammon has a bit of Thibs in her. When push comes to shove, same players are out there doing the same thing and other teams are catching on. [/LIST] And Golden State's coach, with her Aces background, just attacked what she knew was and wasn't coming. [LIST] [*]Also, something new: where's the defense? 93 points given up? Whew [*]I see subs in the game now, but they're down 25. If the game is close, same old-same old. [/LIST] At this point, Minnesota doesn't even have to look in their rear-view mirror in the West for the black and silver. [/QUOTE]
