Alternatively, is there a player who was used more poorly in college than Atkins?

She went from a below-average college coach to arguably the best coach in the WNBA.

That’s very true, and to be fair to Atkins, her college stats were much better than I recalled. I checked after my original post.
 
Chicago looked good fighting back over the Sun. Vandersloot is a hoot. ;)

Lisa Leslie doing Analysis. Good Listen. Showed Doug Bruno in the Audience.
 
Another typically great game from Sloot today. She makes the points/assists double-double look so routine.

Hebard and Stevens were huge off the bench with Parker and Dolson struggling a bit.

Hebard and Sloot have remarkable pick and roll chemistry.

 
Minnesota is down to Dallas at the half 35-55. Everything going on for Dallas, while Minnesota can’t buy a bucket.

Arike had 5 assists, and only taken 10 shots, that's the way to play.
 
Awak Kuier for Dallas scored her first ever WNBA field goal late in the fourth quarter. I can't wait to see her development!

Mabrey 28 points in 18 minutes.

She had cooled off the last few games. Not tonight!

On 13 shots! Damn!

Mabrey: 9-13 overall, 5-8 from three and 5-5 from the FT line. And, as Orangutan pointed out, in (just under) 18 minutes.

Overall, Dallas shot 50% overall, 17-28 from 3 and a perfect 14-14 from the line.
They also had 40 rebounds (to the Lynx's 26). Pretty much a complete reversal of the first game.

Did not see the game but the Lynx unable to play defense is mind blowing.

More impressed with Arike 6-14 and has 6 assists, great game got her teammates involved. That is the way she should play, she has the talent, to make her teammates better.

Like her or not, among the ND graduates in the past few years, I am most impressed with Mabrey.
 
WNBA 25 year game LA / Liberty being played out on ESPN. Sabrina coming off the bench. Nice story if she has a great game.
 
Liberty beat the "evil" Sparks. 76-73. Fitting that another Rebecca (Allen) puts the dagger in by blocking 2 3pt shots by the Sparks on the 25th year anniversary and then a higher power intervened by having Coffey barely miss a tying 3pt shot. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Only feel bad about Karlie taking the loss.

And that higher power is doing overtime as DeChambeau falls out of the lead position. ;)

The one person in golf I can't stand. They should narrow all the fairways, grow the rough 6 or more inches and
make the pro's have to make shots, and not just have equipment be able to overpower the courses.

"Doofus" just double bogied 13.

I've been having trouble accessing the site lately.

Plum followed up her career game w/ just a ho hum 18 pts and 7 assists (both team highs) in another blowout win over the Liberty. It's unfortunate the Aces are hitting a lull in their schedule because she definitely seems to have found her groove since coming back from 3X3 tournament.
 
I was thinking the Dallas coach totally outsmarted herself taking Mabrey out of the starting lineup. She'd been arguably their best player this season up to that point, then seemed to go in a slump. Looked like her minutes were cut way back. Not sure which players were deserving more minutes who have been as productive as Mabrey was before the change.
 
I watched the Liberty-Sparks game on Sunday. How do you turn the ball over 29 times...and still win? That defies pretty much everything I thought I knew about basketball.

I gotta give props to Sami Whitcomb. 17 pts (5-8 shooting, 3-6 behind the arc), 9 reb., 3 assists. There may not be many of them, but those UW Huskies have been ballin' lately!



Stats be damned, every time I watch the Lib, I don't like the way Laney plays. She has quickly upgraded herself to superstar status in her own mind, there's no tough shot she won't force and no amount of traffic in the lane she won't drive into. Hard to believe a little over a year ago she was an absolute nobody in the W. Now she's a legend...at least in her own mind. I was super impressed w/ her 9 TOs though... :rolleyes:

Well, in the start of the season:
  • Allisha Gray got the start at small forward, then she went to the 3x3 championships
  • During that spell, Marina got into the starting lineup
  • When Alisha got back, Coach J upped Gray's minutes off the bench, then put her in the starting lineup, yanking Mabrey.
  • Then, she pulled Grey, saying she was having a hard time adjusting from not playng ISO or pick and roll ball. Mabrey was thrust into the starting lineup, went 0-8 and promptly was benched again for....
  • Thornton! Who is not really a wing, but what the heck.
  • Mabrey comes in and destroys the Lynx in less than 18 minutes.
  • Stay tuned for the Conn. game tonight.

This does not even begin to touch on the PG ying-yang (MoJeff? Harris? Neither nor?).

On the other hand, she does seem to realize that as games go on, a combination of Sabally--Harrison and Alarie gives somewhat sound work in the middle. (Collier starts halves, but that's about it).

Stay tuned...

Only way to follow the Wings is through an interpreter. :oops:
 
Sky on fire, 6 straight wins. Hammered the Lib. It was such a blowout that Sloot and Parker both sat out the 4th quarter, both had double doubles thru only 3 quarters.

I think Parker had her double double at halftime.

23 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists in 23:06.
