Bad News for Mistie... AND Her Fans!

I just read that Mistie Williams broke her right middle finger in practice yesterday. Heal quickly!

Silver Stars "Shoot" Past Comets

OH and 3!

Nice first quarter, Girls... but then, OH.

Exciting to watch, and the new talent is great... but 18 unforced turnovers???

Coach Karleen Thompson was frustrated after the game and said that the team just could not put together 40 minutes of solid play. She compared the streakiness to a roller-coaster ride.

Thompson is doing the right things as coach; the plays are there, the talent is there, the team is well conditioned. They are just struggling with chemistry. The Comets cannot seem to play together for more than two or three minutes at a time. Communication on the court isn't there.

I'm not sure I agree that Coach is doing ALL the right things. Substitutions seemed to me to be all or none. It seemed that she substituted all five at once, leaving no consistency on the floor.

And something is wrong with Swoopes. She either isn't feeling well, or she isn't "feeling" well. Mention was made (0n 610am, I didn't notice, personally) that she was grabbing her back. Maybe that's it?
