Sparks-Mercury got off to a horrid start. Picking up a little at the end of Q1. Chelsea Gray is on fire.

With so many games on CBSSN this season, I'm trying to watch some WNBA. There were almost no games available on a channel I have last year. But to be honest I'm having a really hard time being interested in most of the games. And I just have no patience for poor officiating. I gotta save some of my frustration for the college season, can't use it up on WNBA games I really don't even care about.

Sparks are running away with it. Up 20 late in Q4. Getting fairly balanced scoring. Merc are basically Bonner and Griner, getting almost no scoring from anybody else.

Chelsey Gray continues to dominate. Not only a top flight scorer but had 9 assists (1TO). LA looks very tough and when Parker gets back, :eek::eek::eek:

Tuning into the Dream-Wings game on Fox Sports.

Arike is back from her ankle injury, comes in off the bench and promptly doinks her first two shot attempts. Both teams are struggling to score early on. Score is 5-5 after 5+ minutes of play.

Tbh neither of these teams looks good. Dallas is currently the only winless team, and Atlanta's lone win is over Dallas :eek:

This game is a stinker and all I have to look forward to is LA spiking my Liberty into the ground. Head bang

Yeah, it wasn't pretty. Atlanta collapsed in the 2nd half. Arike ended up leading the Wings in scoring with 17 points on an "efficient" 6 of 17 shooting. Seriously, 6 of 17 is the most efficient she's been all season.

She makes just enough tough shots to fuel her confidence and I guess 35% shooting makes her a sharpshooter in the WNBA :rolleyes:

Amanda Zahui B with 24 of Liberty's 48 pts at half time (9-11 and 4-5 from 3). Talk about an unsustainable formula. Sparks still lead 50-48.

Yeah, the Sparks just have so many weapons. And that's not even counting the sawed-off shotgun of Riquna Williams.

Pretty shocking upset in LA. Amanda Zahui B with an epic career high of 37 points (8 of 9 from three) and Kia Nurse was money from the free throw line (15 of 16, total of 26 points) to nudge the Liberty past the Sparks late in the 4th quarter.

Did I hear that correctly? NY just snapped a string of 18 consecutive road losses??

I am happily wrong. Kia is something else. :D:D:D

Complaining about the ref's should be limited to the fans. It looks so weak when players (or coaches) go that route. :oops:

Geno part of the announcing crew (for some time at least) on ABC Sun vs Storm

Jordin Canada is day to day with a bone bruise. Blake Dietrick getting her first career start for the Storm today. Started off w/ a nice back and forth battle but Sun starting to run away with it as Q1 is drawing to a close.

Howard is a genuine stud but she's been almost the entirety of the offense for the Storm so far.

Probably the best possible news about Canada, although bone bruises can be painful and take time to heal.

Seattle with a 9-0 run. A game of spurts.

There's been an Anigwe sighting. Scored on a fast break and then grabbed a D board on the other end.

Can Geno work every WNBA game? Seriously, I love hearing his takes.

Continues to be a game of streaks. Sun was up 11 at half, Storm started Q3 on 12-0 run to briefly grab the lead. They turned up the defensive pressure and forced a bunch of turnovers.

Griner's dunk, one of the only Mercury highlights from Friday night's game.
