Taurasi eyeing another record

[Carnac]

ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Diana Taurasi is closing in on yet another WNBA record as her Phoenix Mercury take on the Chicago Sky on Thursday at Allstate Arena.

Taurasi, a 13-year league veteran, needs just one made 3-pointer to pass Katie Smith as the WNBA's all-time leader. She currently shares the top spot with Smith with 906.

"I always talk about Katie (Smith) being one of my biggest heroes growing up, watching basketball, her work ethic," Taurasi told reporters after last Saturday's 107-65 victory over Dallas.

"I got to share the court with her at the Olympics. To be tied with her right now is kind of cool. If we could just say end it there and we both be on top we would both be pretty happy with that."

The Mercury (3-2) have won three of their last four entering the season's first meeting with Chicago. The Sky (1-5) are stuck at the bottom of the WNBA Eastern Conference and struggling through a three -game losing streak.

Taurasi, who has 7,362 career points, also needs just 19 to pass Tamika Catching for second all-time in league scoring and is just 127 from taking the top spot held by Tina Thompson.

Are you going to let this go at any point? I think we get it. You don't approve. You think she's a punk. As the youngsters say these days: k.

I never said she was a punk..... just said her actions were a punk move... and she acted like a punk in that sequence. But I'll have no more to say on that game after this post.

That video is so Bush League for a sitting president to actively throw his support behind the Oregon Ducks Mr. Triaddukefan.

Taurasi is the GOAT of Women's Basketball.

Yes indeed. I stand corrected. You used the word "punk" in posts about Taurasi 3 times on this board (once on another) and each time you were referring to her actions. I mischaracterized your posts.

Diana surely hasn't received her last technical. Thus, you will have other opportunities to weigh in on her on-court behavior. Maybe you can wait for those opportunities instead of jumping in to threads about some positive parts of her game. Just an idea.

DT is 3-5 from 3 after Q1 of today's Mercury-Sky game, and is now the all-time WNBA 3-point record holder.

Congrats DT

She finished with 37 pts, 4 ast, 0 turnovers. A game James Harden would admire. Only one FGA from inside the arc (9-15 overall, 8-14 from 3) and 11-11 from the line.

The Sky are BAD but they're hardly the first team to get chewed up and spit out by Taurasi and Griner (28 pts, 13 reb)

In the loss, Stephanie Dolson went 6 for 7 from 3 with 6 assists. Her 3 pt shooting has really been good this year.

That video is epic. The only reason the guy stopped throwing shoes at Bush was because he ran out.
