| The Stanley Steamer has chugged on. May she she enjoy her noncommissioned years in the dock of her choice.

Yes indeed, she's everywhere (kinda Catch like, eh?)
The Indy youngins are confident and fun to watch! If they could just stop fouling and if Vivians gets going again, watch out.

| LA's guards annoy me. I can't say that I've ever played organized basketball at the competitive level, but one thing I've always found to be true is: if you don't reward the big for hustling, they stop hustling.

As someone actively supporting LA's opponent tonight, I am pleasantly baffled as to how/why "we" keep getting away with not having to deal with that problem in the paint.

Everyone on the Sparks keeps trying to play "hero ball," instead of running the offense to get a good shot. Or hell, maybe that is the offense, what do I know?
Hopefully, when Tolliver shows up, she'll bring some basketball IQ with her.

| Seems to me that an Engstler/Smith combo will work

| I've often wondered, do bigs take being defended one-on-one as a sign of disrespect? Because Cambage has been terrible tonight but, also, she's been triple-teamed every time she gets the ball within ten feet of the basket.

Congrats to Carlos Knox & the Fever.
Got a bit chokey down the stretch, which is understandable, but hung on.
They deserved that W. Nice spread of contributors. I'm enjoying watching them this season.

Make your free throws boys and girls!
Sparks left 9 points at the line and the Fever only left 3. Worst thing about that is that 2 of the three were in the last 8.8 seconds of the game!

Yep. Love seeing the Fever players celebrate Knox at the end.

The Sparks out-shot their opponent. Out-rebounded their opponent. More assists. Fewer turnovers. Fewer fouls.
Lost by five.
Coaching?

| Turning point? Maybe, maybe not. Feels like a small step out of the black hole that was the Catchings-Stanley era.

Ya think?
Liz might be "finally happy" in LA, but she's playing the worst ball of her WNBA career.

This statement does not appear to be supported by statistical evidence.
