The Libs are still in a fight with the Fever for worst record in the WNBA, the Libs can't afford to make a mistake winning this game.

It doesn’t matter as far as Indy goes. Indy has the best odds at #1 already locked up.
Now in the slim chance that Dallas doesn’t make the playoffs, there could be a battle between #3 & #4 with NYL & DAL. NYL are at 29 wins in the previous two seasons while DAL are at 30 wins.
This is why CHI and NYL fans should be cheering for the Aces to make the playoffs. If the Aces miss the playoffs, they’re a lock at second best odds at #1. I’m not sure what Laimbeer would do with #1.... maybe pick up that 6’7 strong rebounding machine from MSU? She wouldn’t have to take shots away from Wilson. Just rebound and put back most of her misses.

I totally have no idea where some of our players are health-wise or, more importantly, head-wise. Nneka has always seemed like the most energetic player on the court until her recent health issue. Alana can still harass the hell out of the likes of Diana . . . sometimes! However, I have been seriously hoping for Brian & Penny to seek to acquire a young defensive-minded wing to groom as Alana's replacement for the last few years.
Hosting the Liberty at Staples should provide the Sparks a chance to reset some of their recent struggles. The key is to drop no further than a #4 playoff seed ranking to maximize the chances for rest & refocus before the post season commences. This Sparks team firing on all cylinders can take down any squad in the league, but their focus and chemistry have been an issue all season long.

Nneka is playing at about 1/2 her normal energy level. It's kind of a preview of how she will look at age 36. Sad to see. She's trying but.....Hopefully she will find out what the problem is and get it fixed soon!

Nneka should just sit for this game if she's still not 100%.

Liberty win puts the Sun one game up on the Sparks with 2 to play and the Sun have the tie-break. Magic/Tragic number for CT vs. LA would be 1.

I always thought defensive position could only be established before or when a leaping player starts her jump.

Can someone remind me why Weise is on the team? I know she had an injury to begin the season but shes seen absolutely zero court time. I actually think she can be a nice role player for a different squad. Possible Back up PG. Agler waive her in the offseason draft a replacement and you know WHO better get on the phones !

Oh, so that's where Angel Gray went!
Between her and Olivia Harlan, we've got quite a Mid-Day Train going for our sideline reporters between Georgia and LA!

Nurse 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 BS and one time rolling on the for a loose ball. Something I wish the rest of them would do now and then. They got badly outhustled by Atlanta...playing its sixth game in 9 days. Embarrassing.

Someone needs to tell the Sparks that they have no shot at a lottery pick so they should just start trying to win their remaining games.

They should make an emergency schedule change. NY and Dallas play. Loser plays the Fever. Loser wins the lottery.
