yep. surprised that Leslie is this good. Byington always annoys me just a little bit.


Yes, pleasantly surprised by Leslie. I missed the start of the game, so I didn't know who it was at first. I was thinking to myself, "Who is doing the color commentary? She's really good."


Same! I quite enjoyed her and couldn't figure out who it was.

I loved Lisa Leslie’s commentary. Was busy trying to get my house in order after guests. Found myself rewinding (yes, whilst delaying live game, which I hate doing) to hear what she was saying. Sincerely hope that she does more commentary. Was not boring cookie cutter BS that is standard and boring, yet, nothing that was offensive.

I attended the game; a few observations:
    The Sky is still out of sync and at this point in the season, that's disturbing. Too many bad passes and missed bunnies.
    Still not sure the strategy to not pursue O rebounds is good since our shooting is suspect.
    No way we would have won either game if JJones had been present for CT.
    We did manage to control turnovers better - "only" 12.
    We clearly need to get to the line more!
    Parker had a horrible game; scored her one bucket late in the game after making only 1 of 2 FTs.
    Quigley was more successful with this new-ish shot in the paint than her 3-point shot.
    Brionna Jones was killing us!
    Bonner and January never foul - in their minds!
    Officiating was horrible with so many weak calls after CT really fake flops!
    I like Dana Evans; think with more experience she will do well.

A win is a win!

Add to my long list of misjudgements: Brionna Jones is a solid WNBA player. She's worked hard, gotten in shape and helps her team win.

It is good that you have that revelation. I wish other people will take a breath and be patient with Collier. They want this lady to be a superstar two seconds into her career. Every player develops at a different rate. Many people keep saying she should have stayed at Texas for her senior year. Staying in school for four years is no guarantee that a player will be a polished finished product upon graduation. The key thing to watch for every player is growth and development. No one forsaw Laney becoming the player that she is today. Every player should be humble and always look to improve their game.

Is it Howee that’s the Sky, Badger and Milwaukee Buck’s fan. He should be enjoying a Sky 5 game win streak along with the Buck’s closing it out over Brooklyn in 7 games. I know I’m pretty stoked about it right now.

I have been a Bucks fan starting the year they drafted that real tall guy out of UCLA. The Sky Hook specialist. Very Happy

She's good in an unexpected way. She keeps the focus on the players on the floor. So many color people try to make themselves and their expertise the centerpiece of the broadcast. LL doesn't need to make a name for herself, so she lets the players be the focus. She might even be the rare ex-jock who can do play-by-play.
