The refs allows player to cover a lot of territory. In many cases, I think it's excessive.I don't like Nneka's "European step thru"
I guess they don't want to impede on the foreign players growth so they allow everyone to do it. Its a nice move but I don't like itThe refs allows player to cover a lot of territory. In many cases, I think it's excessive.
Maya was doubling on the drive to the basket. She was late closing out, but I think missed the deflection by about 6". As I told VaMike23, I'd take my chances with AB from the corner. I think, though, that Coach Reeve was unhappy about the doubling.
Yeah, Maya wasn't quite in the right place. But I didn't want Nneka, Chelsea, or Kristi talking that last shot. Alana was basically at 3-point range. Her percentage the past 4 years from the arc has been only 13%, 29%, 18%, and 34%. Kristi over the same period has shot 38%, 39%, 38%, and 42%.End of game defense gotta maintain contact and gotta stay home. Maya had a foot in the paint almost the entire time, almost got caught behind a screen, and never checked on the whereabouts of the person she was defending.
While Alana Beard is not the offensive threat she was when she entered the league, she is still a lifetime 43% shooter and a former Wade Trophy winner. That makes her better than good enough to warrant concern.

I mean, if Gray or Nneka or Candace or Toliver had scored one-on-one, people would be complaining that the Lynx didn't force her to give up the ball to a less likely hero. Beard was something like 1 for 4 up until that point. She made a contested long jumper. The defense could've been better but it's not like they gave up a layup.
The difference was Gray coming off the bench to take over the point guard duties, in my opinion. Whalen did a great job but the Lynx's substitute point guards did not impact the game the way Gray did with her size and shooting.
I would like to see the Sparks win a championship. In a year that Parker and Nneka, IMO, should have been on the Olympic team, it would be nice to see them win a WNBA championship.

The first game was such a good game. I'm skipping UMW tonight because I want to see the game live not taped. Hope it's another exciting game. Especially since the WNBA REALLY needs more fans.
p.s. I'm glad I didn't predict. I would've predicted Lynx in three because LA played SO poorly after the Olympic break. Glad to have been wrong.
