Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, July 30, 2004

Fabulous game in Arco last night.  It was probably the most intense WNBA game I've seen this season -- both teams looked good, especially in the second half when the shooting picked up.  It was actually a shame that it went to a second OT; by then, everyone was too tired to keep it up.

The Monarchs scored only two points in the final frame, and the Sparks got the road win.  Lawson was incredible, leading me to wonder: do they really need two great point guards?  Can't they trade one of them to a team like, say, Minnesota?

Rebekkah Brunson looked downright nasty out there.  She looks like Lamar Odom, bursting with talent.

Lisa Leslie became the first WNBA player to reach 4,000 points in the first half.  Her strange post-game quote: "It's a great feeling to accomplish that. But I don't know what it means totally because I am one of the pioneers in the league. Still, it's great to be first."
