Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2791309, member: 5798"] Non Sparks fans have no idea the impact and importance starters Nneka and Alana have on this team. I was at the Fever game last week at Staples, and was shocked that they could not overcome the hapless 2 win Fever. They were completely out of sync. When both are on the floor, the Sparks are a veteran team that won't make a lot of mistakes. The Lynx should have lost to the 7 win Liberty last night at home. They're not trending. They can be beat. Right now, no team is running away and hiding from the rest of the league. No team has a "toe hold" on making it to the championship finals. Seattle has as good a chance as anyone else. However, if the Sparks can get Nneka and Alana of them back healthy, they're going to be right in the thick of the playoffs. I think it's going to come down to whoever can put together a string of consecutive games where they play well, play together, not beat themselves, share the ball and limit their turnovers. Right now, three days before the all-star break, I don't see a clearcut and definitive [I]no brainer[/I] winner that is "the team to beat". Some teams have only 8 games left on their schedule. The teams at the top are going to be jockeying for position, trying to get those first round byes. It's going to be a wild ride the rest of the way. :) [URL='http://www.wnba.com/transactions/']Here are the latest transactions in the WNBA[/URL] as of Wednesday July 25. [/QUOTE]
