I think Lindsay is limping through this season.  My guess is that she retires in September.  She has a full-time job to move to and is playing below her standards this season.

Bird often doesn't lead the league, as you note, but she's almost always top 3 or so.  It helped when she had Lauren Jackson, and it helps having Jewell and Stewie now.  In between, there was a dearth of finishers on the team, so assists were hard to come by. Sue is really fit, and I think she is excited about her new teammates, new coach, and team success.  Those things will keep her playing.  Sue's legacy will be a combination of excellence and durability.  She has played 503 regular season games and counting, the all-time record.  She needs 26 minutes to break the career record in that stat.

I recall posters saying that Diana and Sue are over the hill and wouldn't make Team USA in 2018.  Dee is 3rd in the league in  scoring (20.9 ppg, her best in 7 years) and 1st in FT shooting (93.3%, a career high, her 3rd year in a row and 6th overall at 90% or better).

Sue's career highs in apg were last year (6.6) and this year (7.4).  She's 2nd in apg this year and 6th in 3-point shooting.

The all-time back court is better than ever.
