Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, June 14, 2008

The Fever avoided being the first team to lose to the Dream with a 76-67 win on the road.

Tan White led four players in double figures with a game and season high 21. Indiana was sloppy early on, but did a better job taking care of the ball in the second half. They also did a good job of getting to the line (32 times compared to 15 for the Dream).

While the Dream are off to a rough start to their franchise, they seem to have the right attitude. "I think that's just how it's going to be for us for the rest of the year. We're an expansion team, and a lot of the other teams just don't have the respect for us," Kristen Mann said. "Hard work pays off and being scrappy and diving for loose balls. It's those little things that become big things. Eventually it's going to pay off, and we're going to get the win."

One thing that should help is the return of Iziane Castro Marques next week from Brazil.
