I'm thinking that there will be more than a few tears when she takes the floor.

Also thinking that there are going to be a lot of pissed off people with this hockey game only halfway through the 3rd and a one goal game.

Hopefully ESPN will move the game to News or U.

Have they delayed the start of the game?

I hate ESPN.

Looks like we're not going to be able to see Griner taking the floor live, but I'm sure ESPN will replay the moment for us when the broadcast shifts.

I'm thinking that they are delaying the start of the bball game. Unless the hockey goes to another 4 OT game.

How is there no backup plan for this? Hockey games go OT a lot of the time. And why was the game so long anyway? Bball was supposed to come on before 11:00 and the game wasn't at the end of regulation until shortly before 11:15.

Horrible management at ESPN.

To their credit, the Sparks have been trying hard to drag out this pre-game stuff as long as possible

It is terrible for the WNBA that on opening night, there's not even communication about what's happening with the game on ESPN. No mention by the hockey announcers, no information on the ticker or anywhere on the screen. Pathetic and terrible.

Now it's starting on ESPN2, at least.

Game is underway, so that sounds like a massive fail by ESPN

Damn! What a start for BG. Wins the tip, an assist on the first basket, a defensive rebound, and an elbow jumper!!!!!!

And a block.

She looks great! Very Happy Really great to see her back on the court.

Cool to have Kamala Harris in the house (she addressed both teams in their locker rooms before the game).

I wonder if they gave the teams (and the fans in attendance) a revised starting time.

Mark Jones and Rebecca Lobo is not a broadcast team that I would have anticipated.

OK, time for bed. 5:30 comes earlier now than it did 20 years ago.

Interesting that (Karlie) Samuelson is LA's first sub, despite being their hardship signee.

Refs and DT in typical form (take forever to review something obvious and throwing her body around haphazardly, respectively) Laughing

I will be on my deathbed wishing everything bad in life happens to Moriah Jefferson.

Karli Samuelson was cut and brought back on a hardship deal. And she is the first LA substitute. Must be wings that are injured.

Seemed like 0 seconds warning that it was going from ESPN 2 to ESPN. But I was looking at my phone and may have missed it.
