Did Alyssa always shoot FTs with her right hand because I don’t remember her doing that before?

I guess you're trying to give the hint that you're watching the game? Shocked

Wings can't buy a shot right now. Cambage with 2 personals.

It always looked like a shot put and she steps forward over the line after letting it go...but don't remember if it was right or left. She'd probably do just as well if she faced the opposite way and flipped it back over her head.

Getting outrebounded at the half even though CT hasn't played Jonquel Jones or Ogwumike, Dallas should have gotten more height during the off season.

They got plenty of height. Some people think they should get rid of the height and keep a shorty.

Their "height" only played 8 minutes and has 1/4 of the team's rebounds. And the Wings only got outrebounded by 2.

I like the way Dallas is getting the ball to Cambage in the 3rd quarter...11p/9r in only 16 minutes is very impressive.

Maybe she's finally shaking off the jet lag. I think she's only been there for like 4 days.

She seems to have gotten Jones into foul trouble.

At the end of 3Q, Dallas has five assists and only two by players under 6-6.

At least they're shooting a sparkling 31%.

Plaisance will save them.

Looks like Hamblin is the bench big who wants to make the team. Hitting a three (like Plaisance), getting rebs, hitting 50%.

Neither Chong or Goodwin seem worthy of that back-up PG spot during these two games.

And I'd guess Hamblin's improved since the last time she played in the league? She's putting up some nice numbers.

79-58 CON final

None of DAL's starters lived up to snuff, except maybe Cambage.
Hero bench players Davis and Hamblin. Hamblin > Shaq, but I'll let myrtle weigh in on that one.
Stevens went from hero to zero in one day.


CWilliams shot 90%. I guess she's a keeper.
AThomas 12 reb, 5 ast. They should probably keep her.
Banham shot 4-6 in 11 min. Keep her.
Lexie Brown made a little progress from the last game.
For Romero, once again what happens in practice stays in practice. They should name a town in her honor: Practice, Nevada.
I guess they didn't want to play Chiney two days in a row.

Looks like A. Gray is starting up right where she left off - 2-7 shooting and 0 from 3. But her complete body of work from the first month of 2017 should carry the day I guess and she will get SOY.

No - even last season she was still shooting left-handed. She started doing them right-handed this past winter in Korea.

In college she made her free throws at a much higher percentage - like between 75 and 80%. She's gotten much worse in the W likely due to the shoulder injury sustained in her second season.
