"At the opposite end, well, we know Penny Toler is one of the greatest players in history."
And Larry Burnett lost his job to this guy... |
Did Burnett really lose his job?

| Why in the name of all that is sweet and holy is Penny Toler wearing a tribble on her head?

side note: i see these Copper Fit commercials so often, especially during games, and i've always wondered if they actually work. i have a friend with fibromyalgia and i've always wondered if they'd actually be a help some how. but i'd hate to spend so much money on a scam product. does anyone know for sure? do any W players endorse or use the product?
also, the W, NBA TV, and ESPN now have a new talking point... Toler scored the first basket in WNBA history and now coaches the team she scored the point for. we can all stop talking about BG's dunks, Skylar's improved season, and how "exciting" Shoni is now.
and i thought Lacy played for the Shock... did i miss something or am I thinking of someone else entirely? |

well that little snippet of Toler's pregame speech has me kinda interested lol i mean i actually perked up.
Staples Center looks dead tonight.
and part of me is a bit cynical about Parker's knee strain. she actually has a knee strain and can't play or this is a convenient out should LA lose... well it wasn't because Toler has never coached before. it's because we didn't have Parker. and you can't say anything against because you have no idea of knowing what a person would have or would not have done unless they played.
oh well. LA doesn't appear to look lost. yet. |
Oh come on, Parker is probably resting for tomorrows game with the Merc! Sparks would rather lose to NY than the Merc!

| ok signing out. Could someone wake me up when LA wakes up? If she doesn't put Nneka and Toliver in soon, it'll be a 20 point plus deficit by halftime.

Are you guys getting the LA Time Warner Cable SportsNet Live broadcast all over the place?
Right before the tip.
Sparks play by play guy:
"A lot has happened. The players have to share in the culpability. They just didn't bring the energy under Carol Ross, who did a fine job for two-plus seasons with 61 wins, two playoff appearances, and a WNBA Coach of the Year honor."
A little over a minute in.
Mary Murphy:
"The sets will remain the same. I talked to Coach Toler before the game, Jim, and she reiterated with us that there's not going to be wholesale changes. In many ways the Sparks did a good job throughout the season. They just didn't get the finish. They didn't play well at home. And there just wasn't the consistent energy that was expected of the team."
Okay this is from the homers who are paid to be the broadcasting voices of the organization. So let's just write this is stone now. Okay?
Penny's pre game talk.
"I plan on winning this basketball game. And we're going to win it with everyone giving maximum effort."_________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

Well, they could talk about Toler's previous coaching experience. oh wait

Jennifer Lacy currently plays for the Shock, and Natasha Lacy does, I believe, have a Tulsa stint in her past.

well. they started out doing that. now they just look lost. but at least the rebounding effort on the defensive end seems fierce. don't recall that for a minute there |

An ironic change of song for a broadcast who couldn't stop praising the team's hunger at the start of the season.

ohhh ok. i got confused for a minute  i remember (jennifer) lacy being hurt and not playing in tulsa, and then the thread about last minute trades, and i don't ever think i knew there was a natasha lacy on the libs. so ok i was lost hahaha. dumb question, but are they related? i think it's a southern thing but any time you see two people in the same location with the same last name you wonder if they're related |

| These 2 homers are nerve racking. Return Larry, he at least wasn't such an homer.

| I'm just grateful MSG+ is carrying the game and the NY crew is calling it from the couch. Sounds like we're missing some primo stupidity from the TWC crew.
