First, it causes too many people to go (as my friend Scooter would say) ape-poopy. WNBA.com released its first power ranking list yesterday and the West is all a-shambles right now.
1. LA (1-0)
2. Seattle (2-0)
4. San Antonio (1-1)
5. Minnesota (1-0)
6. Sacramento (1-1)
9. Phoenix (0-2)
Okay, now let’s look at how I think (and I know you […]

While I don’t think it’s time to panic just yet (they haven’t even been together for a week), any string of losses is worrisome in the stacked West. While Cappie Pondexter and Diana Taurasi combined for 43 points in the Phoenix Mercury’s 81-76 loss to the San Antonio Silver Stars, they only shot 15 of […]

The rookies got the Minnesota Lynx off to a great opener as they defeated the defending Eastern Conference champion Detroit Shock 84-70. Charde Houston, Candice Wiggins and Nicky Anoiske scored more than half the Lynx points, dropping 47. Katie Smith played well for the Shock, but it looks as though Deanna Nolan’s going to struggle […]

Oh, she didn’t do a whole lot in her WNBA debut… she only scored more than any other league player’s debut ever.
Candace Parker scored 34 in her debut with the Los Angeles Sparks, a 99-94 victory over the defending champion Phoenix Mercury on their home floor. Cappie Pondexter did everything to keep the Mercury in […]

The WNBA posted their full survey of the league’s GMs, and what I find most interesting are the player breakdowns.
It doesn’t list the rules for voting, but I would think (and as it appears, it’s not a rule) you should restrict yourselves from voting for people from your own team.
By the way, the Phoenix Mercury […]

In a survey of WNBA general managers, those surveyed picked the Los Angeles Sparks to win the WNBA title. Here’s the rundown, but I’m still working on my own previews, which is different from the pros.

Los Angeles: 42%
Phoenix: 17%
Seattle: 17%
Also receiving votes: Connecticut, Indiana, San Antonio
Let’s just […]

Came across this from the people over at SilverStarsNation. The WNBA is hosting community events this week as part of WNBA Cares Week before they officially tip-off. Some of the highlights (I’m a sucker for parent-child stuff.)
Houston: The Comets will host a special Mothers and Daughters Shooting Clinic with the Monica Lamb […]

According to an article in Advertising Age, the WNBA will debut this season (next week, whee!) with a McDonald’s logo on all 14 team jerseys.
As part of a sponsorship of the WNBA’s season-opening week, the fast feeder’s logo will appear on the front of all 14 team jerseys during early-season contests, including three nationally televised […]

After a 13-21 finish with rushed first-year coach Karleen Thompson at the helm, a full off-season is expected to bring a full change to the Houston Comets. From the Houston Chronicle:
The team promoted Thompson, a former Comets assistant, to general manager and head coach on Feb. 14, 2007, and she went to work with a […]

I’m ashamed to admit, but I didn’t know this. The WNBA is offering livestreams of some of its games — for free. A few weeks ago, I made a mention of the New York Liberty offering up some livestreams, too, so it’s very likely you can catch most of your team’s games online.
I’m a big […]
