Catching Ducks

From WNBAlien, Richard Cohen said: "Katie Douglas’s hot streak through four games ran headlong into Tanisha Wright and Katie Smith, who with the help of traps and double-teams when necessary shut Douglas down for the evening. She couldn’t even get shots off for most of the night, never mind hit any. Without Katie bombing away from outside, Indy couldn’t find anywhere to go offensively, hence the four buckets at the half. Tamika Catchings hasn’t found any kind of stroke yet this year, scoring the points she has managed largely on hustle plays and breakdowns. You don’t get too many of those against Seattle, so the Fever were screwed."

From Swish Appeal: "Put simply, they kept Douglas out of the game and contained Catchings and forced others to beat them. Those others didn't."


A fan of the Minnesota Timberwolves went to a Minnesota Lynx game and came away a believer. Good read!


During the off-season, when I was following UConn, I read a lot from John Altavilla's UConn/Connecticut Sun blog. Discussing the upcoming Sun vs. Chicago Sky game, he had this to say: "I can't wait to see Chicago point guard Courtney Vandersloot play in person for the first time Sunday when the Sky comes to the casino. I'm hearing USA Basketball may be grooming her to take over the point for Sue Bird in the for the 2016 Olympics."
