Tamika Catchings had 19 and 12 as the Fever beat the Sting yesterday. The Sting were playing without key inside players, including Tammy Sutton-Brown, who's in Russia.

Sue Bird is making $57,500 as a top-four pick, but now the top picks get only $40,000. Bird isn't too worried about Taurasi: "she will have an opportunity to maximize her salary with free agency." Also, if you're interested in stalking Sue (who isn't?), she lives in a one-bedroom in downtown Seattle. Just wander around and listen for the Notorious B.I.G.
