Next year can we do 3 forwards and 2 guards rather than requiring a center? I feel like the WNBA has acknowledged how arbitrary the center designation is by the way they designed the all star voting.

Also I’m having trouble enjoying the games this year because I no longer care who wins and loses the games. How to get over that?

Updated Week 6 lineup for NYSports56

G - Erica Wheeler, IND
G - Tiffany Hayes, ATL
F - Napheesa Collier, MIN
F - A'ja Wilson, LV
C - Azura Stevens, DAL

I am totally undecided at center. Natalie Achonwa is coming back from an injury and had limited (but effective) minutes last game. Azura has been effective as well, but her minutes are limited coming off the bench.

I'm also undecided about Erica Wheeler or Ariel Atkins at guard. This might not be the last lineup I turn in before tonight's games.

Guess NYSports didn't want those 49 points from Atkins! [ouchie]

And so I ask all of you: Who is your roster's biggest disappointment thus far or someone who has exceeded expectations? Who is your best drop or add? Who is so inconsistent they drive you crazy? Who is your constant rock? For me, Thornton has exceeded expectations. Shenise Johnson the biggest disappointment, Laney the worst drop. McCarty a flash in the pan. Jasmine Thomas is consistent. Another disappointment is not hearing any news about Skylar or Angel's return date. Playing with a limited roster is a challenge.

Wow, did I ever make bad decisions this week! I chose Erica Wheeler and Azura Stevens over Ariel Atkins and Natalie Achonwa.

Stevens continued to grind the Dallas offense to a halt every time she touched the ball. She started the game, and started the 2nd half, and totaled 8 minutes.

So what did Stevens do in those 8 minutes? Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the very first negative score in the RFBL: a beefy -1.0! Congratulations to Azura for making me wish I had put another out of position player at center this week!

Once again, Azura had the lowest +- on the team (worst or 2nd worst in the last 6 games). The worst part is, I was up against Plaisance and she got extra minutes, and did very well with them. Azura appears to be in Agler's doghouse, and if Plaisance and Imani-McGee Stafford continue to play well, he's not going to be using her all that much.

Things still look pretty good for my team. Calbearman76/tbinta are already in the clubhouse, and Tiffany Hayes only needs 11.9 for me to catch them. However this has been a very strange game, so you never know--there are 3 players (Stevens, Jewell Loyd, and Cheyenne Parker) who have already scored less than that.

Nneka Ogwumike received a DNP in tonight's game. Nneka's Sunday game will count for Erimus's point totals (unless Erimus subs in Alanna Smith, who also hasn't played yet).

Anomaly report. I'm not disputing the end result and this doesn't effect anything for our game as I accept the ESPN box as the final say (plus it won me an extra 1$ on fanduels....but:
At the end of the game last night I toted up Chelsea Gray's points and she had 31.8, so I figured what Griner would need for our team to beat Hoopmom this week. This morning I was surprised to see Gray's total at 34.8. So I went back to the ESPN box which was still open from last night and sure enough it was 31.8 so I hit refresh, which normally is irrelevant as it automatically updates, but lo and behold after the refresh there appears a steal which wasn't there last night or moments before. Out of curiousity I went back thru the play by play thinking maybe there was a steal near the end of the game. No steal. So I went thru the entire game's play by play. No steal. So I have to call it a phantom steal. Is that weird or what? For our game I hope it's irrelevant since Griner would have to have her worst game of the year (knock on wood) to not get more than the 28.3 we need. Still, I find it pretty bizarre.

Christmas is reportedly out for the season, so we will waive her and sign Alana Beard G/F LA.

Gray stole one of Beard’s steals.
