I must say that in the games I've watched, Parker has been thoroughly underwhelming throughout these playoffs. It's like she's just going through the motions and collecting a paycheck. Oh, except when she's complaining to the refs (which is frequent). THEN she shows some enthusiasm. |
I hear you and definitely understand what you're saying. She's had some decent games and then others where it's like, What on earth are you doing?! I didn't see this one, but looking at the stats I don't want to go back and look! lol! I think one of the odd things for me is watching her play the 3...on the wing. While imho, she epitomizes versatility, her jump shot is not/has not been consistent enough of late for her to fully be great out there and bc we all know she is most effective at least finishing in the paint, it looks off and at least "appears" that she's languishing. I've asked her (and a few other players) to stop going at the refs . Then again, I noted her grabbing her back and knee, etc. a game or two ago, so I just need her to do what she needs to do to stay healthy, come back to the States, get some rest and be ready to go!

Fenerbahce stays alive with a 71-70 win at home today. First loss for Yakin Dogu in this year's playoffs.
So McBride and Vandersloot and Parker and Quigley and Lavender will be a little later in getting back to their WNBA teams.

Good grief! I was actually off today and totally miscalculated game time. Oh well...Thanks for the update!

You really have to love a league where you can bring in ringers for the playoffs.

No rest for Angel on Monday as her team needed her for the full 45 minutes to win 67-59 in overtime. She had 27p/15r/10s and Petronyte had 14p/23r so they could use a little more help from their teammates because their opponents are getting comparatively much less from Sutherland and Delva.

Do we have a link for game 5 Turkey? Anybody know the timing?
ok, I found the last few minutes - a real battle. Yakin won by one point. Now looking forward to 'our' girls coming home.

Sheesh! That had to hurt. Someone mentioned that she got injured a bit running into Quanitra Hollingsworth....who knows? I missed the game but looking at the stats, she definitely did quite a bit of everything though (18p, 12r, 5 asts). Sadly, Quigley was pretty cold today but she had been good for them all season...
My goodness, I thought Birsel's 11 assists was good, Sloot had 14!
Congrats to Yakin Dogu!
Whew, Turkish fans...well some are brutal...Yikes!

Team USA is going to regret letting Sloot become Hungarian

Indeed, they will miss Sloot for sure when they SHOULD HAVE HAD NEW A GUARD ON THE LAST SQUAD! Sorry for yelling but I'm still annoyed by them not properly passing the torch in the last Olympics. Since DT is playing in the W until 2020, do we think she will go for her 5th?
Oy vey! Here's a video of CP's free throws. It kinda looked like she missed that 2nd one on purpose to get a quick put back but then again, she was probably following her shot bc she knew it was off and then she face planted: https://twitter.com/JWsBasketball/status/864894648367673344
Yep, that hurt! Goodness!

Nah, that second miss isn't on purpose, it's just really, painfully short. There's so much pressure on players in those situations that you can understand virtually anyone missing, but that was an ugly pair of free throws. |

Just because she signed an extension through 2020 doesn't mean she's going to play that long.

Thanks for all the coverage over the whole WNBA offseason, awhom111. Know it must be a hell of a lot of work (especially considering some of the international league sites are kinda indecipherable). |

Ditto.
Great job making things really for us to follow players all over the place. Thanks!
