Have to admit I know nothing about Allemand other than seeing her name. Fever drafted her in 2016. 24 year old rookie, on the Belgian National Team with Meesseman.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wiese with the start tonight and it looks like Gulich got her first action of the season in Q1.

Cox is in the box score for the Fever.

She’s been very good up until this game.

I'm not even watching, so I'm not taking credit for jinxing her.

 

[garddog]

The Mitchell's aren't having any impact. McCowan and Dupree doing most of the scoring for Indiana.

 

[garddog]

Kelsey has heated up a bit in the 3rd, but Sparks up big.

End of 3rd

67 Sparks
50 Indiana

T. Mitchell with only 2 points through 3. With Vivians out, Indiana just doesn't have another SF with big scoring potential.

[nwhoopfan]

Looks like Fever put some window dressing on this one, but too little too late.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think this is supposed to be a CP highlight, but I see Gulich w/ the O board and put back.

 

[garddog]

K. Mitchell got hot in second half but no help from outside.

 

[Baylor1994]

It was great to see Lauren finally play! It was weird that she barely played with T!

I would like to see what it would look like with Dupree at the 3, Cox at 4, McCowan at 5.

It would hurt on 3's but T. Mitchell hasn't been making them anyway.

That’s why I was frustrated last night because the guards kept jacking up shots when they weren’t making them and not giving the ball to the post players! Like damn Tiffany pass the ball! At least Kelsey made some shots

 

[SCspur]

If not for Tiffany the Fever would be 1-4 if that. She hasn’t been shooting well the past couple games but she’s definitely facilitating and defending. She’s also averaging 12.9 ppg through 5 games and that’s best for 3rd on the team.

She is a 9 pt a game starter. She will have a big game occasionally, like at Phoenix, but 5 years in and she averages 9 a game.

That isn't good enough for your starter at the 3.

This is her first year actually being a full time starter though. Also note that in the 5 years she’s been in the league she has had 3 different coaches so it’s hard to get comfortable when the system keeps changing. Also she’s playing out of position at the 3 for Indiana. Her natural position is the 2 so she’s having to score against and defend bigger players on a nightly basis. You should definitely cut her some more slack...
