She finished the week second in the Western Conference in scoring (21.3 ppg), second in rebounds (11.0 rpg), first in steals (3.3 spg), tied for sixth in assists (4.0 apg) and sixth in field goal percentage (.489). This season, Moore ranks 13th in the WNBA in scoring (16.1 ppg), 14th in rebounding (6.3 rpg), 8th in free throw percentage (87.2%), 11th in steals (1.57 spg) and 18th in field goal percentage (46.1%). Moore also ranks first among forwards with 3.6 assists per game.

This is the aspect of Maya's game that I think consistently gets underrated. Maya is a spectacular passer, and a better passer than even her assist totals indicate. She makes passes that may not be an assist, but lead to layups. It may be the pass that triggers a fast break or it may be the perfect post entry pass. Maya is Larry Bird in Dr. J's body.

That was hysterical - they go on for 4 enormous paragraphs about Maya's stats and all she did that week and all year, then have one line...

Atlanta Dream guard Lindsey Harding was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

And that's all they have to say about Harding lol. I'd say Lindsey got gypped!!

You're so pretty. :)

The link above is from the Lynx' website, Eric.

Here is the WNBA's release, and here is the Dream's release.

What do expect from a guy who can't differentiate points from minutes and FT% from 3P%?
about the same you'd expect from an a who's parents are siblings. go crawl back into your hole.

Well put--Maya is Larry Bird in Dr. J's body. Blue collar effort with elite physical skills.

Larry Bird's shot and court awareness with Dr J's athleticism in Karl Malone's body.

Of female basketball players, only Ruthie Bolton has come close to Karl Malone's body.
