Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, July 15, 2005

San Antonio visit Seattle, where the defending champs are two games under .500. The mood in the Northwest seems to be: if our team can't even win this one...

Jayda Evans discusses the team's lack of veterans. Jackson and Bird are just 24, Betty Lennox may not have the right personality, and Tully, Vodichkova, and Sheri are gone. Coach Donovan had to cut high-profile veterans for salary cap reasons... but did she cut the right ones?

Pelton breaks down the Storm's defense, which looks broken-down compared to last year: Storm opponents get held to 41% shooting (Wednesday's game notwithstanding), but Seattle is no longer forcing turnovers or getting steals at anywhere near last year's rate.
