Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, June 28, 2005

Seattle knew hours before tonight's game against the Comets that it would not have Iziane. What Seattle did not know was that for most of the second half it would miss Lauren Jackson, too. Jackson, benched by Anne Donovan, was visibly upset during postgame interviews and said she did not know why she was taken out of the game. "I honestly have no idea, why," she added. RebKell's posters had an idea. "(LJ) took 4 shots in 21 minutes," a Comets fan wrote. "Canty and Arcain were grabbing rebounds that LJ should have. The play that sent her to the bench was when she was alone under the Comets basket and Snow comes in from the right, under the basket and grabs the rebound while LJ stands there like a bump on a log! She played with no effort and deserved to have her butt sat on the bench."

Seattle, uh, lost, 67-71.
