WNBA News, (Post-) Game Comments for June

[bbsamjj]

CT made it more of a game but Sky had too big of a lead from get-go.

As of now, seems pretty clear the title will go to one of 5 teams: Vegas, Chicago, CT, DC, Seattle. could come down to who's healthy at end of season.

The 1-9 came after that against Los Angeles.

Sometimes, it happens. I guess she gave all of her energy in that Mystics game only to come back against the Sparks to give that 1-9 night.

WNBA coaching outside of a couple coaches stinks. Watching games and you see no serious game planning. Letting players keep jacking up poor shots. It is frustrating when you can watch much better coached teams at the college level than pro.

I really feel that the only way to make the WNBA grow and go is to invest in better coaches. No way the best college coaches keep a player in for 30 mins when they are only shooting 20%.

What happened to Vegas? Have lost 3 of 4. Offense looked bad tonight. Terrible shot selection, bunch of bad turnovers, pretty much everybody taking turns going one on one. Game of runs, Seattle had the last one to pull away. Loyd got on track. Bird was scoring early, not as much down the stretch but good game for her. Talbot was big off the bench, season high 15 and also defended Plum much of the game and kept her from scoring on drives. Not a good shooting night for Stewie but she had 2 huge 3's late. Charles just couldn't get anything to drop in her debut. Williams is finally back for Vegas but is rusty. They added Rupert recently as well. Eventually their bench should be much better but for now it looks like they are struggling to adjust to new pieces.

I reserve the right to change my mind at any time, but currently I'd have to say Chicago is clearly the best team in the league...at the moment.

Phoenix now 3-0 post Charles.

W/ Phoenix and LA both actually playing some basketball now, Indiana now clearly the worst team in the league. Atlanta might be next at this point. Hmm, this seems familiar.

Hard for me to say, but I thought Plaisance has been a good sub for the Aces and tonight she played for all of three minutes, with Rupert getting most of those minutes. That's not the sole reason they're out of sorts, but tinkering can throw off a machine with so little working parts.

Interesting stats

Brutal loss by the Liberty. After fighting back from a 13 pt 4th Q deficit to take a 3pt lead, Erica Wheeler hits a buzzer 3 to tie. Then Tiffany Hayes (now healthy) hits 2 quick 3's in OT to completely take over the game.

Tina escaped. Is Diggins-Smith next?

I hope we get a 30 for 30 on this Mercury team one day lol. Funny thing is, Phoenix has been playing well, going 3-0 since Charles left yet they still seem like a hot mess chemistry wise.
