Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Both of today's games were matinees, so no games to follow tonight on TV or the internet.

Detroit held off Chicago to remain undefeated at home. Cheryl Ford led a balanced Shock attack while Jia Perkins had a game high 26. Perhaps worse for the Sky is word that Dominique Canty, who did not play, is out for the year.

In the other game, the Fever could not overcome the Dream. So Atlanta gets win number 3. Izzy Castro Marques had her best game of the year, scoring 24 and Betty Lennox added 16.

In addition to losing the game, there is some potentially bad news for the Fever (and USA Basketball). Tamika Catchings was playing one her best games since her return when she was kicked in the foot. She had to leave the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. She is being evaluated so no news yet on how bad it is.
