If the Wings lose this game... they should be sent back to Tulsa

[Fairfield Fan]

It says that the Wings outscored SA by 11 points when Saniya was in the game. Did she spark a comeback?

81-78 Dallas final
San Antonio still winless

It's hard to point to anything spectacular. She had a nice 3-pointer during the run and a timely rebound. All her little things add up to really good team play. Nice to see her at +11, best on the team (again). But when MoJeff blew by her for an easy lay-up is when she got yanked.

 

[Bezzz]

It was neat to see Erin Phillips doing color commentary during the game. Basically Erin got cut from the Wings when they retained Saniya. She did a great job and not mention she's a cutie!

 

[Trappa]

Another game, another low minutes low output performance from Plum, yet she still starts?

Plum: 7:37, 0-1, 0 ast, 2 to.
MoJeff: 32:23, 7-14, 6 ast, 3 stl, 1 to.

 

[YellwJcket999]

As much as I am rooting for the Wings this year, the refs gave this game to them. San Antonio needed and should have won this one.

Another game, another low minutes low output performance from Plum, yet she still starts?

Plum: 7:37, 0-1, 0 ast, 2 to.
MoJeff: 32:23, 7-14, 6 ast, 3 stl, 1 to.

Oddly enough, that's exactly 40 minutes and a solid performance... all from one person.

 

[Kaizen]

Plum: 7:37, 0-1, 0 ast, 2 to.
MoJeff: 32:23, 7-14, 6 ast, 3 stl, 1 to.

I don't understand why SA doesn't want Plum and MoJeff to play together.
DAL has Diggins and Chong both in the court and it works great.

Agree.
FT: SA, 10/15, DAL, 27/33
This tells you the story ..LOL

Chong got a couple minutes lower than her season average today. Didn't play most of the 4th quarter like she has been.

Great game from Mo. Looks like she's rounding back into form.

As for Saniya, in 14 minutes she was more productive than both Davis and Gray's combined 46 minutes. That says something for the kid drafted in the 3rd round far below the other 2. I'd say it's looking like Saniya was one of the major steals of the draft...

 

[MilfordHusky]

This is partly repetitive, but ...

Saniya was +11 (the best on either team) in only 14 minutes. She had 6 points and 2 rebounds, though 0 steals today. No steals is unusual for her, but she was playing against Moriah.

Saniya is averaging 4.5 ppg in 15.1 mpg. Her shooting stats: .422/.250/.882. A/TO = 20/13

Mo had 16 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals. She's the best player on her team.

Well over the course of the season, I would say that Gray was the major steal of the draft and for all accounts she is the rookie of the year up to this point by a landslide. Let's just all be happy and root for all three of these rookies.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Gray looks like the ROY at this point, but the season is still young.

Here are the leading rookie scorers:

Gray 11.9

Davis 7.7

Talbot 5.5

Sykes 5.4

Whitcomb 5.4

Chong 4.6

Raincock-Ekunwe 4.3

Cannon 3.8

Wiese 3.8

Plum 3.7

I have to say I'm perplexed by VJ's rotations!

From a viewers perspective the lineup of Mojeff, KMac, Currie, Harrison, and Hamby/Alexander seems most effective. I think 2/3 of Jefferson, McBride, and Currie should be on the floor at all times. They are the main portion of the offense.

Use Desouza, Montgomery, and Plum to provide rest to the previously mentioned 6 players. At least worth a shot for a team that's 0-12. Just seems like every time SA gets going VJ tinkers with the lineup and they lose all momentum.

 

[stwainfan]

Nice game by Glory. Dallas is a team that can make the playoffs.
