Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, July 06, 2003

5 games yesterday:

1. Minnesota dropped a close one to Cleveland. Deanna Jackson had 30. Katie Smith is getting frustrated with the Lynx's play -- some of her teammates really aren't working out there.

2. LA beat Seattle easily. Lisa Leslie, with 23 points and 12 boards, had the edge over LJ. Leslie also got on the fans at halftime and told them that they need to start cheering for the home team.

3. The Mystics lost to the Comets. Swoopes had 23. Holdsclaw and Miller had pretty good games, but they got no help. Playing a weak Washington team, Houston got to coast to an easy victory -- they haven't had many of those this year, and they had almost forgotten how good that feels.

4. In a match-up of two hot teams, Charlotte edged out Sacramento. Feaster and Enis had 19 each. The Monarchs came up with a key rebound at the end -- they just wanted it more.

5. In a match-up of two bottom-dwellers, San Antonio topped Phoenix. Gwen Jackson had a double-double. Maybe the Stars are finally developing some chemistry.
