Haley's only make was a 3!  Wonder if she has been focusing on that shot this spring.

Ashten Prechtel was also waived today.

Wow! And some people think Tara has a quick hook. 

No patience with Ashten after her first game.

No Karlie in the WNBA? Is she ready to get into coaching?

Haley's second game. Didn't see it, but doesn't look like she played very well.

Check out Lexie pretty much winning the Fever's last preseason game. Final quarter, she checks in at around 7:30. Vintage Lexie!

I bought a league pass for the season streaming.  I can watch basketball to my heart's content.  Lexi is doing very well, seems improved from her rookie year.

she must be willing to be that player called upon when the team needs an extra; perhaps fits in fine with her international play and her career aspirations.

Nneka O was on a Washington Post "Leveling the Playing Field" video podcast last Wednesday (the 17th). I can't figure out how to share the podcast itself, but here's the transcript (which I can legally share as a WaPo subscriber)

One nice element of it, which neither the interviewer nor Nneka commented on was that Nneka was wearing a Stanford women's basketball sweatshirt -- very obvious to Stanford fans

SO much fun to watch Nneka, Chiney and Karlie go OFF last night. And even enjoyed the mid-play interview with Va! I didn't think ESPN could come up with anything worse than the mid-game interviews, but Va handled the mid-play interview with aplomb! 

Probably the most enjoyable non-playoff WNBA game for me, perhaps, ever.

Great to see Karlie's stat line after being cut and then resigned to a hardship contract. She's been on the WNBA bubble so many times. Hope she can stick after all.

Fever got drilled today by the superteam Liberty. Stewie goes for 45 and was unstoppable. But...in the second half the Indiana coach put Lexie on her. She played her so tough and, like we know about Lexie, never backed down. Great highlight here (hope the link works):
