not a good start to the quarter

Oh, boy, time for the conspiracy theorists. Kalani Brown just got hit with a flagrant foul against Clark -- #7 on the year that Clark has suffered, by far the most in the league. The Internet has had a field day with that. But ... this was a pure basketball play, Brown just got carried away after getting beaten on a layup and clocked Clark on the follow through of her attempted block.

On another note, man WNBA players miss a lot of wide open layups. That Hull miss was a shocker. I guess that partly happens because they are under the rim, but still.

there is a bigger gap between star and role player in the wnba then there is in the nba.

Lexie has almost zero confidence in the open court or when she drives to the hoop. When she drives she usually passed out even after beating her defender or getting into the paint. That open layup she just flinged it against the backboard lol

lynx win!

liberty stormed back to make it close but kind of ran out of gas and the lynx stopped the bleeding

Wings v Fever
- Jacy Sheldon is amazing on defense. She had some good forced turnovers on CC late in the game. I felt she should have been on KM a little bit too esp when Arike was letting KM score at will early on.

- Lexie Hull had several drives to the hoop where she passed it out and also blew a wide open layup. She lacks confidence in her ability to score in those situations. Seen her pass out a lot when she drives and blows by her defender. Also feel like Fever forgot that Lexie can hit 3s. Her first 3PA was in the 4th quarter.

- KM is a bucket.
- Sides had a wild lineup in the 1st quarter: CC, Wheeler, katie lou, Dantas, & Fagbenle.

- Career high in points for CC with 35 currently with just 10 seconds left. Had some awful turnovers late in the 4th

Ooh boy. Clark with an otherwise great game, but gave the ball away twice consecutively in the final minute when Indy was trying to nurse the lead. Just yikes. Those were rookie mistakes, big time. Well, they win anyway. Clark with 35 points/8 assists, Mitchell with 30 points, and Boston with 15/6/6. I don't think much of their supporting cast, but that's quite the trio.

The final score of the game was 110-109, which tells you what you need to know about Indy's defense. That's not playoff quality.

This. My takeaway: not a well played game by either team. Just a shootout. Also, Satou is gonna be a key free agent next year.

Is Satou a free agent after this season ends?
