Come on, Nicole. Use a kleenex. Just kidding, folks!

Wendy's 3,000th point ball.

After last night's close lost with the Sparks, this team really looks tired.

Seimone shot 92% the previous night against the Sparks. Like I said last year, she can shoot anytime and anywhere. But not tonight (only 30%!).

I didn't quite see Wendy's foul here.
|
22.jpg
|
23.jpg
|

|

But here, yeah, definitely a foul.
|
26.jpg
Uh oh, look out folks. This was the bloody collision between LJ's chin and Svetlana's forehead...
|
27.jpg
...Svetlana moves away from LJ to try a reverse layup. LJ moves to tower over her...
|
28.jpg
...Svetlana goes up and WHAMMO.
|
29.jpg
LJ is down but seems to be OK, even smiling at one point.
|
30.jpg
I like how the trainers make you check your teeth with your tongue.
|
31.jpg
Svetlana's face loses the battle and is gushing blood all over the place.
|
32.jpg
But she does clean up nicely.
|
33.jpg
Lynx fast break...
|
34.jpg
...what I like here is that Sue is ignoring the shooter and already moving to get the rebound.
|
35.jpg
Finally a great Seimone three pointer...
|
36.jpg
...and the Lynx bench thinks they're finally in business.

Keep those fouls coming, Nicole. Ohlde normally plays great defense against LJ.
|
46.jpg
I don't get Katie's defense. Here rookie Kathrin Ress puts a simple spin move on her...
|
47.jpg
...but Katie just stands there like she vanisthed into thin air with no screen anywhere. Did she think someone else would switch for her?
|
48.jpg

Ress nearly gets a reach-in foul...
|
51.jpg
...but pulls it out just in time.
|

53.jpg
|

Mann rebounds...
|
57.jpg
...and shoots a quick pass to Ohlde under the basket...
|
58.jpg
...who commits another foul!
|
59.jpg
|

|
61.jpg
|
62.jpg
|

Svetlana catches the long pass, but instead of driving to the basket...
|
64.jpg
...she gives the most convincing no-look pass I've seen in a while. She's looking right at the basket.
|
65.jpg
|
66.jpg
|
67.jpg
|
68.jpg
Uh oh, if you have a problem with blood, for God's sakes don't look at the next one...
|
69.jpg
...I know this is just a little cut but it still gives me the creeps.
|
70.jpg
|
71.jpg
|
72.jpg
|
73.jpg
|
74.jpg
LJ gives her classic reverse layup...
|
75.jpg
...she's not even looking at the basket. That shouldn't be possible.
|
76.jpg
And what's the deal with the sodium vapor lights? Don't my shots already have enough bad colors?

What? What? Foul? Where?
|

|

|

It's pretty clear Sue's knee is still bothering her.

I hope I won't be seeing this expression on Tanisha's face someday soon.
|
93.jpg
|
94.jpg
Another great no-look pass...
|
95.jpg
...to Katie who scores.
|
96.jpg
|
97.jpg
|
98.jpg
Tanisha at least draws a foul off of Mann.
|

Once again, no happy faces.
