For those of you who like to play the numbers game, from the wnba.com website: Still having trouble wrapping your brain around all of the possible scenarios in the Western Conference? Of the five Western Conference games with playoff implications, here are all possible outcomes and just what...

I only got to hear a few minutes of the game. Looking at the box score, we were out-rebounded and the defense must have broken down because Seattle shot almost 53%. Looks like it was a good offensive game for Chelsea, Nicole and Maiga. Ticha also had 5 fouls. I don't know when she got those or...

I didn't see the actual contact either. I watched them coming up the court because I thought something might happen, but I was looking away at the time. Since they didn't show the replay at the game, there was no way to tell. Because it came right after the extended heated exchange between...

Congrats to the team, coaching staff and everyone connected with the Monarchs - including the fans!!! :D

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I say you make a decision when DeMya is 100%. With that huge brace on her knee she is not 100%. Why risk re-injury by rushing her back to starter, or risk chemistry or momentum with an abrupt change you don't need to make. Especially under Whiz where you earn...

Hopefully they respond the same way they did to the NY loss...

Slim, the next nationally televised game is Saturday, Aug,. 20, at 1 p.m. Pacific on ABC. We play Seattle and it's the game that Ruthie's jersey will be retired.

Thanks, Nancgo - I also have some conflicts, but at least now I can try to work around or rearrange them. Does anyone know what the format is for the finals? Is it 2-3 or 1-2-2?

What a great game! Too bad it wasn't televised because I'd love to watch that one again and again. I agree with 7th - too many highlights to pick out. Erin's block was phenomenal, and Brunson looks like she has pogo sticks for legs the way she gets up there. Kudos to Ticha on her 1,500th point...

I was thinking that after being utterly humiliated by Houston for the majority of the last game, the Monarchs would come out with intensity and prove a point, especially at home. I can't remember the last time I was more depressed after a Monarchs game. I'm still upset today. It's bad enough...

MBF - agreed on all counts. Ticha's assists are down, but her overall game is up. She is actually looking for shots and I like that she has incorporated a mid-range jumper too. Her points are up even though her minutes are down. She has shown herself to be a solid floor leader this season. I...

I'm with you Rein! This team is finally playing the basketball we always knew they were capable of. Actually, I don't think they have even peaked yet. I'll save analysis of the expansion draft and other such issues for the long off-season. Right now I'm basking in this moment. :D

I heard on the radio she hurt her back. It didn't sound very serious, but even a minor pull or injury would impact her play.

Great pictures! Thanks for posting...

I thought last night was a test. Now I think the real test is how they respond to it. This team's issue has never been talent. To me it has always been the mental component. This five-tame road trip will show us a lot about this team.

What is crazy (good) is that I don't think they are even playing to their potential yet.

Don't forget you can also vote on the internet. Hopefully all our new fans from China, Rutgers and Michigan State get on-line and vote.

Thanks HoopMatron. I just assumed she was pulling down her compression shorts. This would explain the reduced minutes and production. Hopefully she can rest and get back to 100%.

I agree, bbsamjj, the bench has been a key this season. I love the attitude, hustle and unselfishness of the second unit. If anything, sometimes they are a little too unselfish. The statistics you cite are impressive, but that doesn't even convey the defensive effort, diving for balls, and other...

Just a few game notes... Too many fouls! These rule changes are supposed to make the game MORE enjoyable to watch. Great to see Kara on the floor again. I'm sure she'll be up to speed in no time, and that will provide even more offensive power. The whole bench mob is great, but I...
