WNBA News, (Post-) Game Comments for June

[MSSportsGuy]

I like Dangerfield and think she has what it takes to run a team. Her size has largely been the issue but I can't understand MN cutting her when their entire roster is a work in progress.

The Storm likely need a younger guard as Sue, Prince and January aren't exactly young. It's time for Seattle to build for a future and that may or may not include Stewie.

Gabby is likely what she is in the W. She's incredibly athletic and has skills but her offensive game has shown to be limited in the league. She would be on my team but I'm not sure if she could be a starter.

Crystal's size is a major issue and she gets targeted often on the defensive end. In her ROY campaign, she more than made up for it with explosive offense and was a steady 3pt threat but this year, she cant hit the 3 and this is making it harder for her to get in the lane. She is still a good set up pg with positive A/TO but the other stats with the Liberty are not competitive. Interestingly, especially in the advanced stats, she was strong in the 3 IND games but has fallen off with the Liberty

Watching the Lynx/Liberty game yesterday, Sabrina was on FIRE! She was torching my Minnesota Lynx team. Wow!!

The only thing she needs to keep under control is TO's and a little more consistency. Unfortunately, the results of the team affect how she is considered.

What is James Wade up to? He's practically platooning Vandersloot and Evans at PG. Dana can shoot the 3, but she's not half the PG that Sloot is. I don't get it.

Mystics controlled most of the second half, were running away, but Sky with a late rally to nearly steal it. Washington wins by 2. It wasn't a scheduled day off for EDD, but she didn't play in the 2nd half due to a stiff back. Pretty sure this was Alysha Clark's best game so far w/ the Mystics.

Sylvia Fowles ruled out indefinitely…. Like the lynx needed anymore injuries

That sucks. Maybe Cox (or some one else) makes her way back as a hardship signing?

Would hate to see her career end on a note like that after all she has done.

Elissa Cunane is already there on a hardship signing (for Achonwa or Dantas?). Another option would be to go slightly smaller and rotate Shepard into the post role and have Carleton play more. In either case, it's not optimal, that's for sure. Hope Syl can heal well and quickly and get back at some point.

According to Reeve, they will play smaller . Byn the way, it seems Moriah will be back .

I'm hearing Dantas may be as well.

Yes but reduced minutes to start

Only makes sense. Last thing the Lynx need is her to regress because they rushed it.

Liberty / Indiana. My favorite Andraya Carter in her first play-play assignment. She is stellar imo

Nasty early Collision between Rebecca Allen and Vivians. Allen left the court looking pretty roughed up

Liberty - Indiana is in Twitter.

For me at least , the Sun - Sky game is on the twitter live feed which is what the WNBA site says it is

Happy to say the Liberty spanked the Fever on the road 97-83. 31 assists on 38 baskets. 13-28 from 3. 36-65 on all shots. Crysyal had a horrible first half but a strong 2nd half. Fun team with Johannes, Han Xu, Sabrina, Crystal, Howard, etc.

Convinced to go for my second Barcley game against the Sky on Sunday.

Love Gabby's hustle, but Seattle isn't going to win many games playing 4 on 5.
After this many years Gabby isn't going to suddenly become an offensive threat.
Her ability to play defense will probably keep her in the league as a role player.

Sky took down the Sun. Connecticut had been looking nearly unbeatable lately.

Allemand joined the team today. Meesseman w/ probably her best game so far w/ the Sky. 26 pts on 11-14 shooting.

Bird's D is about as lacking as Wiliams' O, so it's 4 on 5 on both ends of the court.

And Seattle's bench is terrible, Prince should be gone. Paying 115,000 for her to score. Bring back KML even though she isn't a good defender, she can shoot.
Prince isn't good at anything.

NO WAY! I was so happy when they finally got rid of KML. Talk about somebody who wasn't good at anything. One of the worst draft picks ever. For a supposed 3 point shooting specialist, she was fairly ordinary in that department, and nothing else about her game was WNBA caliber. There's gotta be dozens of players not in the league who should get a call before KML.

I still have hope Gabby can get more comfortable and confident in the offense with Stewie and Sue back. She looked better last 2 games and last night, did have 9 assists(1TO) . She can still pass and provide some needed pace

They should have kept Westbrook, she can play defense, and at least has an all around game. She also is 12 years younger, with room to get better.
