| Here's a spot to put reports on pre season games. Right now, it's Mystics vs Lynx and Sky vs Wings. We do know that a bunch of Mystics players did not make the trip - so it's basically the players fighting for 2 roster spots.

OK, found the boxes on espn.com. EDD played and scored 11 pts, high scorer THawk with 14. Tasha with 6/7. All Mystics not named EDD, Atkins or THawk throwing up bricks from three. Engstler is playing short minutes. S.Jones not scoring, but 8 rebs.
For Minnesota, Brea Beal played 17 mins, with only stat being 2 to's. Juhasz balled out, along with Diamond Miller. Minny's lack of PG play shows in low assists.

| I don't care how good your defense is, playing double digit minutes without contributing one positive stat in the box score is insane.

Is she that good on defense or did the ESPN talking heads speak her into being an elite defender? I mean, the media spoke CP3 into a DPOY award, so anything can happen. I think the name on the front of Beal's jersey got her a lot of undue praise.
I'll be very surprised if she makes the Lynx roster.
Speaking of the Lynx lack of a PG - how did they let Jefferson go?

Good question...I have no idea. I'm just going off the twitter reactions since the game wasn't available on LP.

| WARNING: gratuitous attack on Candace Parker by UConn fan. While discussing lack of offense by one of four finalists for college DPOY, a UConn fan follows a very thin thread to connect to Candace Parker being selected as WNBA DPOY. Parker is well known to be a target for UConn fan attacks due to the fact that she removed UConn and Geno from her list of possible schools VERY EARLY in her college search. She therefore gets injected into comments that have absolutely nothing to do with her but are about anything that might contain even the very slightest tangent so they can trash her again. They just can't stand that Parker will soon retire as one of the WNBA all time greats.

| Parker can be an elite defender when she decides to play. Her issue has always been coasting through games one both offense and defense and only playing her best in spurts. She used to coast though defense a lot more than offense.

The Mysrics/Lynx game is on YouTube.
I think the Canada game is going to be broadcast on TSN in Canada so a good chance that one ends up on YouTube too.

After watching the game, I can't see how anyone could argue that she had much of an positive impact on the game. It's only one game and it was her first too....maybe some jitters involved, who knows. But I would be absolutely shocked if she's on a WNBA roster this season...she just doesn't look like a WNBA player at this point.

On Men-BA Twitter, we call that a Snell.

| Beal got invited to the party because she wore a SoCaro jersey. That should have been a great highlight moment for her. Now she can try to find her true calling in life. I don't think overseas teams are much interested in American players who can't score.

Guess I should have posted this stuff here - my in-game "commentary" from the 5/7 Sky-Fever game.
Interesting...Harrison, Williams x2, Gardner, Evans are all here. Clearly I don't pay attention to overseas action! Ruthy and Kah too but not playing!
Well...if this ends up on YouTube, might be worth a watch! 43-31 Sky at halftime.
64-45 after 3. Forgot Christmas-Kelly is an Indy coach.
Dunn is sitting across the aisle with me in the stands.
Final 81-56. Harrison was player of the game.
Bertsch looked good.
Decent crowd.
Forgot we also had Anigwe.

I saw a brief video clip of E. Williams trying to block Boston's shot and falling hard to the court. Is she okay? She only played four minutes in yesterday's game according to the box score.

I know it is preseason, but Indiana started four of their likely starters for the season and still lost by 25. Bring on the Clarkstakes!

Super young team....I think they're going in the right direction.
I am half way through the Wings/Sky game from last week and so far I'm very impressed with Bertsch. Hopefully this game gets uploaded too soon.

Do you have a video link to share?
Someone posted the first half of Sunday's game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXcIHUQtKL4
Forgot Elizabeth Williams got taken out early!
As one commenter said, the Fever looked better than the score reflected. Guess that's a pretty low bar! lol It's preseason...

| Whoa - Engstler with 11/8 in 13 minutes! Serious roster contender! THawk also actively pursuing a spot 7/10 in 19 mins. Spot up for grabs is 11th player, 3/4 backup to backup. Intangibles and health might be deciding factor, which gives THawk the edge, but those are WOW numbers of the 'rumored to be injured' Engstler.
