Damn. Just feels like something is going to burst soon. Hoping I'm being paranoid.

Moriah Jefferson did not fare too well in the matchup against her old team. Fowles still looks amazing at her age, and after being on a tear these past few games, Aerial Powers came back to earth last night.

That was vintage Arike, when she’s hot she’s but when she’s not :eek:

Allisha Gray remains by far my favorite Wings player and one of my favorite W players period. I love everything about her game and how she goes about playing.

Gray is amazing on both ends of court. Would not be surprised if she is on next (5x5) Olympic team.

Indiana has waved Hartley and signed Rennia Davis

No idea how the picking up of players work, but if I was the Sparks I would try and add Hartley as a hardship signing for the next week and so on. Of course it would probably mean putting Toliver on an injured list. I dont think they are going to get much more out of Kristi Toliver. She only played just under 7 minutes in the first quarter and around 3 minutes in the 2nd quarter, last night vs Sky. She had a wrap on her leg/knee when she came out, was in sweats the whole second half and sat with the trainer on the bench instead of the remainder of the team. Could sure use another ball handler.....unless there is something we dont know about Hartley's health, physical or mental.
 
I swear. I do not know what it is but for some reason, Indiana seems to have Minnesota's number this season. It is early. Hopefully Minnesota catches on and gets the win. I stand corrected. Looks like Minnesota has figured it out and now on a run. Let's go, Minnesota!!!

Indiana had 1 run left in 4th Q but wilted down the end. Lynx win 87-77 . Nice performances by McBride and Fowles. Moriah looked pretty good when not in foul trouble. with some good defense in 3rd Q
 
Yes! Minnesota gets the win. Fowles and McBride had huge games. Shepard chipped in a decent game. Well done, Minnesota. Peaking at the right time.

Glad Fowles, McBride, and Shepard came through. Great win, Minnesota!!

What some people may not know is that Cunningham has a very high degree belt in Martial Arts. She is not to be taken lightly.
 
No Sloot for Chicago tonight. I didn't hear the reason. She hasn't been very productive lately, maybe she's been dealing with a nagging injury? Wings up 1 at the half, 2nd half just starting. I missed most of the game up to this point.

Mabrey had a BLATANT push off that cleared her up to hit a 3 that DT would be proud of. Blind refs missed it of course. The victim (Allemand) got her back and swatted the next one just before halftime.

Concussion Protocol for Sloot

Thanks. I finally heard that to start the 2nd half. No Sabally for Dallas...but that seems to be the case more often than not.

I am just not a Dana Evans fan. Too often as soon as she comes in the game the wheels fall off the bus for Chicago. They went from up 7 to down 6 or 7 on her watch. Now Allemand is back in and the Sky are back on top. The only thing Evans can do is shoot 3's, and she's not hitting them today. Otherwise I don't see her bring anything good to the floor. She's certainly not a playmaker who makes the offense run smoothly.
 
.-.
Allemand had 2 straight drive and kick out to Parker for wide open 3s that slammed the door shut. Then the next time down CP dribbled out the entire shot clock.

Arike and Marina have both had horrible shot selection down the stretch.

Meesseman quietly dominating and Copper w/ a monster game, 23 pts and career high 14 rebounds. Emma also has 23 to go w/ 8 reb/7 assists.
 
Looking like the Aces and Sky are the teams to beat. Chicago is scary. Cooper dropped 23 and pulled down 14 boards. Meesseman, I have always loved her game, looked great in this game. She was just on a different level. Dallas could be a dangerous team down the stretch. 11-12 games left. Whoever playing that Dallas squad better bring their A game. Mabrey put Allenmand in the spin cycle with a sweet move and drained the 3 point shot!
 
I'm convinced barring injuries the Sky are gonna repeat. Team just doesn't have many flaws. Vegas just reeks to me of a team that doesn't play like a team, too many big personalities.

if only they weighted scoring by the difficulty of the move.

Huge matchup today at 1pm. Las Vegas vs the Connecticut Sun. Both teams are on a two-game winning streak with Seattle in the mix. I got the Aces in this one.

JJ isn’t playing
 
Plum has just gotten an extended contract w/ the Aces, so she won't be part of the free agent sweepstakes in the coming offseason.
 
Aces shooting a brutal 1-9 behind the arc in Q1. Not sure how they are within 6 at this point.
 
Sun up 37-35 at the half. Seems like they should be ahead by a lot more than 2, but they got TO prone in Q2. Aces 2-15 behind the arc. Some of that is Connecticut's D...but mostly it's just continuing to miss open shots.
 
.-.
And there you go. Aces drain 3 straight 3's to start Q3. That COMPLETELY changes the complexion of the game. Plum just tied Hammon for a franchise record made 3's in a season. I think she'll break that one w/ 10+ games left. She's also on pace to become only the second player in league history to hit 100 in a season.
 
KP taking over w/ 10 points in less than 4 minutes, Aces up 10 now.
 
After heating up, Aces have gone cold again. 15 point lead sliced to 7.
 
Fools gold. Aces hit a few, but just jacking too many 3's. 7-30...thru Q3. On pace for 40 in a game? Yikes. Plum poured in 14 of her game high 22 in Q3, but Sun closed to within 6 at the end of the quarter.
 
Bonner hit a 3 to cut the lead to 1, but now it's back up to 9. Biggest difference in this game--Gray and Plum are killing the Sun guards. 37 points/12 assists compared to 18 pts/5 assists.
 
AT has been TERRIBLE today. No field goals, 8 turnovers. Just had a cheap shot elbow on Plum that took her out of the game.

edit--Never mind, KP gonna tough it out and keep playing.
