Monarchs Fans Ron Artest and Chris Webber Square Off On the Mic
I was pleasantly surprised to see the Sacramento Kings' Ron Artest and former Kings star Chris Webber doing some commentary during the LA Sparks road victory over the Sacramento Monarchs last night. I had completely forgotten that Ron Artest was supposed to be doing some color commentary for the...
L.A. Gets A Spark From Bobbit As Starting Point Guard
While the Sparks’ high-low zone offense was the probably the most tangible adjustment in their 91-80 victory over the Mercury, the Sparks’ energy on both ends of the floor was probably the biggest key to ending their three game losing streak.Of course, it's hard to dig too deeply into the Sparks’...
Sparks’ Offensive Rebounding Overwhelms Silver Stars’ Team Dynamics
I have wondered about the Los Angeles Sparks’ strategy all season, but when you can grab offensive rebounds the way they did against the San Antonio Silver Stars last night, it’s all a moot point.The Sparks out-rebounded the Silver Stars 18-1 on the offensive boards en route to a 75-63 victory. It...
The Liberty Outdoor Classic: "Performance Didn’t Match the Setting"
There were two things I feared about the Liberty Outdoor Classic: a sloppy turnover fest or a blow-out. Neither would do anything to attract casual fans.Tonight we got both – the Liberty committed 21 turnovers (only one more than the Fever's 20) and got blown out "at home". Nevertheless, kudos to...
Fever Collapse Under the Pressure Of "Playing Not To Lose"
I chose to watch the Fever-Lynx webcast last night instead of the Sparks-Sun game because I figured it would be more interesting to continue following the Fever without Tully Bevilqua that the Sparks without 4/5 of their starting lineup.I ended up feeling pretty good about that decision, but it...
Liberty's Big Win Still Shows Signs of Trouble
By most accounts around the web, the Liberty’s 90-87 overtime road win against the Comets last night was a great win coming off two tough losses.WNBA.com labeled it an "instant classic" and a "magical moment", coach Pay Coyle called it a great team win, and color commentator Mary Murphy called it a...
The Value of Synergy: Connecticut’s Trust in Their System Makes Them a Contender
I honestly did not think the Connecticut Sun could beat the Storm without Lindsay Whalen.Coach Mike Thibault has called Whalen the "engine" the runs the Sun. She’s an MVP candidate, the best point guard in the league, and the Sun’s second leading rebounder. It just seemed that Sue Bird would...
Sir Charles takes a subtle dig at the WNBA...
Last night I was at a bar with a friend casually watching the Hawks-Heat "game" and talking about random stuff when I thought I heard Charles Barkley say something about the WNBA during the halftime show……This ain’t the WNBA…Of course the volume was low and people’s voices were high so I couldn’t...
Rethinking Rookie Performance: Beyond Hyperbole and Absurd Expectations
Candace Parker was like everything anyone has ever wanted any rookie to become.From my limited perspective, she was arguably one of the best rookies to ever enter any professional sport. No WNBA rookie has ever won Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the same season (and only two NBA...
How The Mercury Beat the Sparks in LA: From 0 to 22 in About 5 minutes 30 seconds
The Phoenix Mercury’s impressive 104-89 road victory over the Los Angeles Sparks last night was one of those games that simply cannot be appreciated by reading the box score or even the play by play alone.It’s not just that the Mercury posted a season-high 36-point third quarter, that they managed...
