WNBA June 2019 Musings, scores, pictures, etc

Mabrey still has the flopping "I think I just got shot" routine going.

 

[Plebe]

Mabrey is on the perfect team for her. Alongside Parker and Chiney, it's a constant chorus of whining to the refs.

 

[Plebe]

Riquna Williams has become quite the sharpshooter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Teams have combined for about 30 turnovers, early Q4. Kind of an ugly, disjointed game. I'm really trying to watch some WNBA games this season, but I'm just not enjoying it.

Yeah I'm making a concerted effort as well, which hasn't exactly felt rewarded...

none for Gray.... Parker is trying to get a triple double

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sparks snap a 4 game losing streak 86-74.

 

[nwhoopfan]

19 TOs and 5-16 3 point shooting not a winning formula for the Aces. Combined 5-28 shooting from Plum, McBride and Jackie Young.

edited--Young did have 9 assists to only 2 TOs.

The coveted points-rebounds-turnovers trip-dub.

Loyd is out 2-4 weeks according to Seattle news.

Loyd is out 2-4 weeks according to Seattle news.

Jeez. Talk about snake bit.

The hits keep coming as Storm loses star Jewell Loyd for extended time with severe ankle sprain


Hughes wouldn’t give a specific timetable on Loyd’s return, but a MRI revealed Loyd suffered a severe ankle sprain that will “keep her out awhile.”

She will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Typically, similar injuries require 2-4 weeks to recover.

The problem with Parker is that her handle is not as good as she believes it to be. She is good operating in space, such as on fast breaks, and against other bigs one on one. However, in the half court when she has to go against multiple perimeter defenders she dribbles herself into too many turnovers. She is good at working a two-man game, especially with Nneka posting up. If she would only stick to operating within her actual skill set the Sparks would be far better off. She just makes too many bad decisions.

NY beat Dallas 69 - 68. Kia 17, Tina 15 pts .... great game.

More importantly, Arike 2-23 (2-13 from 3).

O'Gunbawale with a hero 3-point attempt with 5 seconds left when they were only 1 point behind and just needed to get to the rim and score and/or get fouled. Missed the 3, NY (Boyd) got the rebound and got fouled. Game over.

Exactly, this is the best part of today's game.

Liberty missed so many FT's in crunch time, they tried to throw the game away but Agler decided to ride the cold and out of control hand.

Probably a good indicator of what Chennedy will look like in the WNBA.

2 late games being played at 10PM on conflicting channels

Chi @ Sea on CBSSN

How does a Center shoot 5-19?

 

[eebmg]

Also the game illustrated the difference between the manic Arike and the cool and controlled Asia. At Louisville, I seemed to be under the impression that she was a bit of a chucker in her own right but clearly, that was much more out of need than personality.

 

[Plebe]

Well after everyone was ready to crown Arike Rookie of the Year after the last game, she was followed up with a 2 of 23 performance in a 1-point loss to the Liberty.

That's 2 of 23. Also known as 8% shooting.

ROY should be either Phessa or Asia .....

How does a Center shoot 5-19?

A combination of double teams that she would not quick pass out of enough, refs who would not call a sledge hammer and Tina loving the 3 pt shot too much biut she is always valuable on the boards and defense in general.

 

[eebmg]

What was funny about that is she was like 0-14, then made 2 3's in a row and
then decided the harder the shot, the better. I predict that Agler will have quite a bald spot.

Oh, and Kia got a few shivers in.
