Too bad dunks dont count for 20 points
Griner's dunk, one of the only Mercury highlights from Friday night's game.
If they made dunks 4 points in the women’s game, there would have to be some serious thought given to defining, “What is a dunk?” (This is not a comment on Griner’s dunk the other day - that was a legit flush.)Too bad dunks dont count for 20 points

Lol Candace with the MVP stat line, 3 points on 1-9 shooting and 6 turnovers. Not to mention all the layups she gave up while resting on defense. They were better off giving more minutes to Riquna "All 18" Williams
Watched Atlanta get a rare win this morning (albeit they played Indiana - somebody had to win). The league is a real mess with the large number of stars missing due to injury or foreign obligations, or just sitting out. Standings really look strange. CT running away with it, Chicago in 2nd place (What?? ), Seattle in 5th, LA in the middle of the pack, Minnesota below .500, Phoenix in 10th place. Yikes. Need the stars back. Parity seems to = mediocrity.

Sorry, Tiffany was indeed awesome with 28, and Renee was 1 assist short of a double-double 16/9.Talk about burying the lead.
Our girls Hayes and Montgomery had perhaps their best games of the season
Kia out on the floor warming up for 2nd half - looks like she’s going to startSky lead Liberty 41-34 at the half. Very physical game. Unfortunately, Kia Nurse rolled her ankle.
She has it iced before half. Hopefully, nothing more serious.

She played the 2nd half but she does not look 100%. Still, clearly dodged a bullet even though it looks like the Sky will win although the liberty put up a good fight. Just so many missed open shots.
Durr having an excellent game. Her game is so smooth. A real pleasure to watch.
I didn't get to tune into until the 4th quarter, by which point the Liberty were nailing a bunch of threes. I'm glad they were missing shots early so that Chicago had enough cushion to survive.
New York has some real live wires at the guard spots between Boyd, Nurse, and Durr. Lot of athleticism there.
I got a kick out of Arike getting frustrated after committing an offensive foul so blatant even she couldn’t argue it, then promptly getting called again 10 seconds later. But the Mercury really suck tonight - they’re the more talented team, but just not playing with energy...Ha I love what Sancho Lyttle just did to Arike. Didn't let her get away with her usual bully moves on the court, trying to shove people around. Arike's 1-6 and has 2 turnovers and 2 fouls in about 10 minutes of play.
I only saw the second half, but except for a very brief 3-minute spurt when Phoenix hit several 3s and drew to within 1 point, it was u-g-l-y you ain't got no alibi. Phx was cold cold cold. I mean like Griner and Bonner both missing layups. Just awful.24.6% shooting by Phoenix. That is unforgivably ugly. I didn't get to watch this one, but I don't care how good the defense was. A team with Bonner and Griner has to do better than that.
