Indiana had a bit of a physical encounter with the Suns tonight especially with about a minute left in the game.

Seems that the Fever have some ladies who aren't afraid to defend Clark.

One is Cunningham. I just hope nobody touches that face.

Yeah my level of respect for Sophie went up a bit after this game.

She not only gave the hard foul but she was ready to continue on.......

No shrinking violet, she immediately was ready to engage when the opponent got up ready to throw. Props.

Not sure if you saw it but last trip down one of them grabbed Sophie's ankle as she was coming up the court.

I still take Hull if I had a one night stand. Face isn't as nice as SC's but that body is incredible.

Seen some pics of her out of uniform, no one on the Fever looks like better than her in a bikini.

Also like her game, she's has the best +/- on the team, great defender, sneaky good OR'er and pops that open 3.

Fever a fun team to follow.

Post pics of hull please

As for lexi she is the perfect role player with clark.
Plays defense and is scrappy.
On offense she is great off the ball in terms of moving and reading a defense for a backdoor lay up or a spot up 3.

Good energy team mate

League is in deep trouble as clark gets stronger and starts to get into the lane more.

30+ ppg will be her floor

Yesterday was a perfect example of how Becky Hammon can't coach for shit.

23 points in the second half

Zero 2h adjustment. 3 stars on the team yet zero set plays to get anyone a bucket

Aja Wilson should hold out for 75% of Hammon's salary.

Completely outclassed

A couple of years ago there was chatter Hammon would become the 1st women’s head coach in the NBA…. 🤮

Coach Pop did a great job of selling it too. I'm sure she was great in her role and having Pop to bounce stuff off of.

What is that theory in business where you keep getting promoted up to a level where you can't get the job done?

The Peter principle

Happens all the time in the NFL with great coordinators and then shitty head coaches.

Becky is this

First look
Dallas is way low
I'd say 168.5

Connecticut hasn’t scored over 75 in their last 4; Dallas only over 80 once in their last 6. Having said that, the earlier meeting produced 196, with Dallas putting up 109. But have to think Conn still remembers the 109.

Through 12 games, the Sun have a +/- worst -16.2 ppg difference. Relative to the rest of the league, this may be one of the worst teams in WNBA history.

The total on the Indiana/Golden State game at 164 1/2. Golden State has only had one game that has gone over 164 1/2, and that was only due to going to overtime. That game was 156 at the end of regulation. I know Clark is back, but there's only one way to play that total.

I'm saying it's too low based on conn trying to play faster over the last 3 games and Dallas being anti defense ever since Paige got back and started running point.

Conn ran with indiana and Dallas doesn't want to slow anything down.

Dallas has scored at least 80 on the last 3 so not sure what you are looking at

My projected totals for Friday:

Dallas/Connecticut 163
Washington/Atlanta 159
Seattle/Las Vegas 160

None qualify as a play. All within 1 1/2 pts or less.

Sports, I was on that under as well. Tough beat. GS putting up 88? I didn't see that.

Noise or not? The Sky have had their last 5 games go under the total. Vandersloot got hurt in the June 7 game vs Indiana, starting the under streak. Related or just coincidence?

Way way way related
The old cougar vadersloot could score 15, get 4-6 rebounds and added 4-6 assists a game

Their current guards starting should be coming off the bench and the bench guards shouldn't be in the wnba

Zero 3 pt shooting threats

Hammer it into cardosa and pray Reese gets the miss and her next 2 misses to get a bucket

Yet today Chicago scores 86 pts, shoots over 50% from the field and still can't come close to covering

Phoenix at 18-1 for the title is worth a bet

I will take Chicago/Atlanta over 159 1/2. Chicago in the 2nd of a B2B. I think they will struggle on the defensive end.

June 22 Sunday
Aja Wilson over 23.5 pts +100
Aja Wilson over 3.5 assists +140
Indiana LV over 171.5

This is the battle of two coaches who can't make in game changes. Hammon is the leader of this ineptness and the fever will be led by intern head coach Austin Kelly who did an amazing job of making changes in his first game at Golden St where the fever were outscored by 20 points after the first quarter.

Wilson has destroyed the fever in 3 meetings last year and given how she has to be option one, two, and three on this team she will have the ball in the post all game

Chicago Atlanta under 159.5
Wash -4.5
Suns team total under 72.5

Indiana's head coach Stephanie White is on a leave of absence while the mother of her partner battles a medical issue.

Who is Stephanie White's partner?

ABC's very own NBA courtside reporter Lisa Salters.

Who knew?

The two ladies are not married, but they share a home in Nashville.

Rooting for five of SPORTY's six plays today.

Like VALUIST, I forecast a fast pace and decent production in today's Sky-Dream game in Atlanta.
