No doubt the entire Cal team was very frustrated by that one! That was a rip-roaring tremendously fun game. The Ferrell Center was rocking and loud!!

Two things.

1. Anigwe swung at Griner's head
2. Thornton took a swing at Griner while she was being restrained.

I'm restraining my thoughts and mouth right now. Those little *****s.

BG just went out of the game with a knee injury. Just started 2nd quarter. Didn't look too bad but you can never tell

I hated seeing BG on the floor like that. Praying

Just saw this. I turned the channel. Makes me sick. Prayers up

BG was only back out for a little bit. Many gave her a hug when the game was over. Lots of respect shown for my favorite wnba player. Prayers for BG to heal quickly

Odyssey laid a big egg in her last game. I've very surprised to see her have such a bad performance.

BG's season ended with a thud. I really hated to see her get hurt after having such a tremendous regular season.

Most players have variances in their play throughout the season. In my observations of Sims in the WNBA led me to believe she was very streaky. She had her good streak early which got her an All Star Game spot. Her lesser streak hit late in the season. Streaks seem to be her and many other players usual patterns, although some more so than others. This last game was not an isolated occurrence. rather more reflective of her play the last couple of weeks. A player's shot is not going to drop every game. The worst part of Sims game against Seattle was her defense. The match ups were not good because their guards killed them. Sims is an excellent on the ball defender or as long as her assignment is in front of her. However, she has a real problem picking up her man on screens and switches. I suspect it's a peripheral vision issue. Seattle has very fast and quick guards who were shooting lights out which exacerbated that problem.

This is why having depth on a team is important. So that when a player hits a bad streak someone else can pick up the slack. Sims pretty much helped carry the Lyncs prior to the All-Star break, but that certainly was not going to continue throughout the whole season. If you pay attention even the best players in the league will have times when their play is substandard. Players are not machines so you can not judge them based on either their best or worst showings.

The word of the day is Depth Depth and more Depth. That is also why Baylor won the Championship. And why they are one of the two favorites this coming season.


Looking at the Sparks box scores you will see that both Williams and Gray had horrible shooting games. The rest of their play was also substandard as well. Williams is also a streak shooter, but Chelsea is not. Still it makes my point that any player can have a really off game.
