Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, July 16, 2004

It may have been Cynthia Cooper's night, as her jersey was retired, but Tina Thompson stole the show, scoring 33 points in her third game post-injury, after two sub-par performances.
 
TT was putting MVP-caliber numbers before her injury.  With her back in the Comets lineup, Houston still should make the playoffs.  But they need more consistency and better ballhandling from Sheila Lambert, Kedra Holland-Corn, and Felicia Ragland for that to happen.
 
Speaking of better ballhandling, Detroit's 25 turnovers are not going to get them back to the playoffs.  But Elaine Powell was activated today, so hopefully she can re-energize the team, bring some stability to the point, and move Chandi Jones back to the two.
