NY has some talent around Ionescu for sure. I sometimes question Laney's shot selection, but she hit some tough ones. Johannes had it going. Dolson had a good game. Howard finished strong. They've got a bunch of X factor type of players, any of which can go off any given game. Dangerfield, Whitcomb, Allen, Xu all have their moments.
Yes, she is done for the playoffs. Don't know about DT and her quad injury.
And she should be in the lineup, the defense went from league best to league worst with Tina in the lineup. In the playoffs defense will win games.But Ezi is super well rested.
OK. Let's make a prediction with Dallas. Coach J will play starting lineup first half to keep them "game sharp," but wouldn't be surprised if you see a Charli Collier sighting the entire second half. Stay tuned.
So far, so good. But, the other end of the benchers around the W got a few minutes in the 1st half as well as extended time in the 2nd (and no other team won the half by 37). Is Charli going to become the Anthony Bennett of the WNBA?
Whew, well she got in with just under 10 minutes left. While she scored 7 points, she also had 4 personal fouls and 3 turnovers and was outhustled more than a few times by Olivia N-O. And she had more than a few ole defenses on any Sparks drive. Regarding the latter, with Dallas up by 30+ most of the 2nd half, this was -- as Marv Albert would say -- extended garbage time.
MVP? Idk man some ppl here said a few weeks back she was the 3rd option on the team and Plum should win Mvp lol... I guess after that Plum airball 3 that changed
Great point. Wilson shot a handful of threes her senior season at SC and takes and makes enough mid- to long-range jumpers that Aces fans have been waiting for this for years. It took Hammon coming in to greenlight it, but I think this will be a permanent addition to Wilson’s game. To go from not shooting beyond the arc at all to hitting 38% on about one make per game is impressive.
Agree. Yes, save for Sykes, LA was just not there, but no need for this. Besides, what goes round, comes round
What'd it say? Appears they deleted it, which now only stokes my curiosity!
It was a picture of a dumpster on the fire, and that caption went something like, "The only Sparks we seen tonight."
Thanks for answering, I was curious too. I'm surprised they would take that down, considering that most of the team's social medias have being taking shots at each other all season following a win.
Funny and cringeworthy at the same time. With the season LA has had, it felt unnecessary.

The article does not say Women's or Men's Auburn program? Does he have collegiate coaching / recruiting experience?Interim Head Coach Fred Williams Departing For Auburn University - Los Angeles Sparks
Sparks to Conduct National Search for Next Head Coach LOS ANGELES (Aug 17, 2022) – The Los Angeles Sparks announced today that Interim Head Coach Fred Williams will depart for Auburn University to assume the role of associate head coach, as previously announced on May 4, 2022. The Sparks are...
Women's team. He has plenty of experience, but it was all a long time ago. If your two other assistants are decent recruiters, having one older assistant with a different perspective is not a terrible idea.
He has coaching experience. As for recruiting experience, I am sure that he can recruit as well. I mean it is Auburn, so you will get what you can get and work on skill development. All you need is one or two solid recruits to turn your program around.
The three best players in the WNBA are Candace, EDD, and Stewie. Maybe none of them get MVP, but you can't take them out of the game. All 3 can play defense rebound take the ball the length of the floor, pass, score. JJ has that ability but doesn't have the attitude to dominate. EDD talked about playing in Seattle's new arena. Could you imagine her on the same team as Stewie and Loyd?
