Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, July 30, 2003

My Lynx just can't get past Houston. The Comets have beaten Minnesota in 16 of 17 match-ups. Houston also managed to hold Katie Smith to only 7 points. I didn't think that was possible.

The Mystics were so close -- went to OT, and then lost by 1 to Indiana. Catchings (30 pts) made a lay-up at the buzzer for the win. Many of the Washington players and fans thought it was late.

Said Coach Stanley of the 13,000+ fans: "I think people got their money's worth." Maybe... but the DC faithful must be getting frustrated.

Detroit shot over 56% and easily beat Cleveland. This is the third time in eleven days that the Shock have beaten the Rockers. Even though Detroit lost to Charlotte all 4 times, it holds a 3 1/2 game lead over the Sting in the East.

I should take back my words about Phoenix: the Mercury beat the Liberty. In so doing, Phoenix avoided a record 8 straight losses. Edniesha Curry was strong off the bench.
