Who did the National Anthem tonight? Us! And we totally rocked! We should have us sing it more often.

I guess this means 'Chelle is playing in Turkey now.

Whoops, Betty loses the dribble.

Fortunately it ended up a jump ball.

Litte bit of a foul.

Weak defense: our theme for tonight.

How does Betty do this?

Here's the hard, borderline flagrant foul...
|
31.jpg
...I don't think Taurasi is really going for the ball here...
|
32.jpg
...so she ends up wacking both of Izzy's arms. Ever wonder how Taurasi gets those enormous bruises on the bottoms of her arms?
|
33.jpg
The freethrow gets stuck and that's an automatic jumpball no matter how it happens.
|

Janell gets that ball down.

Izzy shooting behind the screen.

The Mercury bench is not enjoying this game.

Well, you don't see men getting around screens like that!

Katie driving to the basket? This is a good development.

Yikes, LJ totally clobbered Snell.
|
53.jpg
After the call, LJ turned around, walked towards us away from the ref and said something that surely would have been a technical foul.

One great thing about Westhead is that he clearly enjoys talking to players about what's going on during the game.
|
58.jpg
And who else likes to talk? LJ and Taurasi...
|
59.jpg
...they were clearly exchanging some funny remarks to each other here.
|
60.jpg
|

|

Yes, LJ came up smiling after that foul...
|
63.jpg
...but quickly switched back to a player who has been fouled.

Looks like Taurasi is getting back into her bad habit of standing out on the court when the rules say she should be behind the sideline.

Back to standing out on the court.

Here's some great defense by Sue...
|
94.jpg
...hey, the ball was right there!
|
95.jpg
|
96.jpg
Somewhere in this, Betty has a hand on the ball...
|
97.jpg
Westhead seemed to have started a discussion about the general lessons of this game...
|
98.jpg
...he asked a question, and several seconds went by before someone spoke up. Interesting.
