I abstained from prognosticating regarding this day's games, because the character of the WNBA season is being determined now: who is game, who's got game, who are players, who will play. These factors are more important now than final scores. Fans are seeing it, believing it and enjoying it. (Am I beginning to take those old English comp lessons seriously, or is it just the moment that indicates this as a subject for another post.) (Reader's Digest The World's Most Beautiful Melodies: Moonlight Classics: Romantic Piano & Orchestra, searched for decades for a 10 album set we had when growing up, and most of the songs are on a set of 8 cds I found on eBay recently.)

Charlotte at Washington: no indications stated. The final score is deceptive of Charlotte's game here! box scores

Indiana at New York: no indications stated. Played to the last second of overtime at MSG. box scores

Phoenix at Los Angeles: no indications stated. I wonder how many WNBA games have there been where the total of both teams' scores exceeded 180 points? As against Phoenix' determination to get into this season is LA's really intelligent determination to take every advantage of this period's stretch of home games. box scores

Seattle at Minnesota: indications off: I said: "Minnesota, this is the game everyone else in the West wants them to lose." They lost, to a Seattle team playing simply out of body: Seimone scored 32 points, but no other Lynx player was in double digits. Question: Is Minnesota going to redouble its efforts now to match what was encountered here, seeing what the level of play is this time around, or resign? The Minnesota mindset is its biggest hindrance. box scores (again, try 'right click'/'open in a new window')

Sacramento at Houston: indications on: Sacramento is (albeit momentarily, but nonetheless) in the 5th spot in the West. box scores
