I hadn't even been tracking the double-digit games figure, or I haven't since LJ's was snapped shy of Cooper's record in the opening game of 2005. I was more upset about that than the loss!
What are the standings on that list now? Is it Cooper, Fowles, Jackson now? |
Seimone Augustus had an 88 game streak broken in 2008 |
So, what, Cooper, Augustus, Fowles, Jackson? Given the quote above, I see Fowles was 83, now Augustus 88. I guess that means Cooper was 92? Seems like LJ was 9 or 10 games shy. Or maybe 14. I clearly actually don't remember.

Jackson's streak was 84

Here's a research question for those in the know.
Of the current Sky roster, only three of the players from the 2010 roster still exist. (Fowles, Prince and Young, based from my Sky posters.)
Of the 2011 roster, 6 players. (The three above along with Murphy, Vandersloot and Swords.)
I tend to think of the Sky roster as a continuous clearing house of players and can't help wonder if those 'wholesale' roster changes are the true culprit of the troubles with the team.
How many other teams in the WNBA have gone or are going through serious roster additions/depletions during their existence, and what the rates of success have been or are from the year to year a team depletes their rosters?_________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek |

Atlanta only has five players from their 2011 team. One of them (the team's second leading scorer last year) didn't appear until after the Olympic break and another (the team's leading scorer last year) has missed eight of their 24 games.

its looking iffy for playoffs this year.
i know swin isnt the 02-04 swin, and i know she isnt even 2010 swin... but shes still pretty solid.
i guess if fowles was healthy or cared shes as good as it gets for centers
when prince is healthy shes a great 2-guard.
i dont like vandersloot and i think she turns the ball over way too much and i dont really think shes confident in all situations, but there arent many GREAT point guards right now.
if anything its the tamera young position. t young might be ok coming off the bench along with lecoe and murphy and swords.... but swords, young shouldnt be starters.
swin at the 4 and prince at 2 seem to be the only sure things for next year.... am i right?

would prefer Swin at the 3 and the Sky add a legit PF. Young comes off the bench this way. This is where taking Delle Donne would help the Sky if they somehow get the #2 pick.
PG: Vandersloot/??
SG: Prince/Murphy
SF: Cash/Young
PF: Delle Donne/Willingham
C: Fowles/Swords/Riley
heck, if Natasha Lacy is available, I wouldn't mind her as the Sky's back-up PG next season.

If Clay sees this, he'll probably tell you that Delle Donne isn't a legit PF based on what she played in college. But I say it doesn't matter. Players of this caliber are capable of playing many positions. It's basketball.
