| Why are the Ogwumikes out? Will whatever it is affect them in the playoffs?

Sun broadcasts have had lower audio quality than other team's broadcasts all season for me. I thought it was my computer, for the longest time.

Nice attempt on comeback and Sims’ fresh legs - but Sparks look tired. It’s been a long season for everyone.
On one recent possession Gray penetrated and seemed to have an open jumper in the lane but hesitated and kicked it to Carson, who attempted a long, step-back 2.
Air ball.
Gray needs to score in those situations, not pass.

| So does J. Jones win 6th woman despite starting 16 games this season? She technically qualifies. |
She had been pretty horrible the first half of the season

| I'm sure the Agler apologists will be along soon to explain why taking a timeout to stop your own team's momentum was a great move

Agler's my dude but he needs to be called out.
LA down 19(65-46)...Vadeeva comes in for Lavender...LA goes on a 19-4 run, cuts lead to 4(69-65)...Agler takes Vadeeva out and puts Lavender back in...Connecticut goes on 8-2 run and pushes the lead back to 10.
Agler should have kept Vadeeva in the game.

Hopefully Agler realises that Vadeeva > Lavender. Makes you wonder if Jantel will be a Spark next season?

| Sparks starters are going to be tired on Tuesday. Agler should've played his bench a little more.

Trading Sims and Lavender wouldn't be a bad idea if you can get back a decent return.

She’s regressed it seems - was super critical for the 2016 run - but she can pull it together. No reasons the Sparks can’t keep her in the post rotation. I wouldn’t give up on her yet.

That's been a complaint about him since Columbus.

Not just took Vadeeva out, he called a timeout just to do so.

| That last minute. If the Sparks gave that much energy the entire game they would've won.

I don't agree. Not sure why all the hate for Lavender here. Or is it love for Vadeeva? Vadeeva is a total work in progress and a totally different type of player than Lavender. She's a better rebounder but not as good offensively and doesn't have great hands - can't handle a lot of passes in the post. Neither can defend - Vadeeva has no footwork.

So Tuesday night the old guard teams, Las Lynx & LaLa, meets?
It will be interesting to see what roster changes the Sparks make for 2019. They need to increase both team defense and offense.

Yeah,but Lavender was being used as the 4.....Lavender had 4r & 0b in 35 minutes...Vadeeva had 4r & 2b in 10 minute.
The Sparks are at their defensive best when Parker is paired with a defensive post.....Same goes for Lavender....Jantel needs to be on the court with a defensive Post.....Parker and Lavender are a mediocre defensive combo.
I'm more upset with Agler taking Vadeeva out than him putting Lavender in...Why kill the momentum?

Carson and sims coming up big right now. And of course Gray doing what she does.
