| Maybe the bench could get some playing time. But reality is... Sparks tend to play down to opponents. So seriously nothing is guaranteed my mind.

| Yeah, would really like to see Vadeeva play at least 10 minutes this game, even if it's a blowout

Sparks seem too lazy to beat anyone by 30.

100% agree. Hoping Vadeeva and Wiese get some time. |

The Twitter Queen & Hollywood Liz are next. Man!, we have the damn Wings twice within five days. The Sparks have to know by now they can't afford to screw around with the pesky Wings. Let's show these Buffies who is the class of the league and keep those victories piling up.
Riquna is in a nice groove these days. Jantel's game has been resuscitated, and Odyssey is playing defense. Can we finally be rounding into a sweet rhythm?

I would not say her Lavenders game has been resuscitated quite yet. While it did appear that during her first appearance in this last game she played like she was feeling the pressure to produce, when she came back in in the second half she went back to playing with little effort. It seems that she is always playing like she has to save her energy to last 38 min a game rather than the spot player she is.
She is a good passer and knows where to go with the ball. But this last game showed me that she could be more productive if she gave more effort like she did in the first half. It's not like she can't play, she just is used to coasting through out the game. I think she heard Masha's footsteps and actually gave a first half effort, but once she realize Masha wasn't going to come back in again she went back to her lacksy daisy non aggressive game. She isn't Parker or Nika who has to pace her self so why doesn't she play as hard as she can when she is in. She still has yet to hit a 3 pt shot.

My comments were a boxscore diagnosis as I got in late. I am finally watching the game now.

Based on the 3 quarters I watched today (of the Wings in action), the Sparks can totally afford to screw around with them.

Yet still teams can suddenly get "hotter than pistols" and then just as quickly cool off again. The fever appears to have done that in the span of the last two games. With their hot streak carrying over from their last game into and through the first half. But then just like that their shots stopped dropping and they got cold again in the latter part of the game. If you catch a team when they are hot, and you are cold even a winless team like the Fever can beat you.The Dream discovered that when they were destroyed by 32pts in the previous game by the Fever. The Storm also got beat by the Aces by double digits as well. Fortunately the Sparks have a lot of depth and a hot Williams at present.

Perfect prediction. And the rebounding. It was like the Sparks were glued to the ground.

Can't believe Chelsea's wondrous backward no-look assist isn't even mentioned here. They showed it multiple times during the game.
Every game, there's at least one time she makes a pass that nobody can figure out until they run the replay. The LA crowd is responding with gasps just as the Duke crowd used to do.
Not since Ticha have we had a player this magical on our floor. And she scores, too.
