Pels are cool birds of prey. If they can fit a creature in their mouth, they will eat it. Fish, birds, cats, babies, whatever they can get their beaks on.

You will never ever hear me cheer for a pelican, not once. Meanwhile raising your first in the air and shouting Liberty, pretty cool, epic even.

Pelicans is a great name. A lot of women pro sports teams are named like deodorant brands. But the athletes are cool so let's make it work.

7 of the 12 teams have the bad names. The plural of lynx is either lynx or lynxes, so I'll give them that.

Whatever stomach bug the aces had that made them play like trash in the first half seems to have migrated to Indiana because the Lynx are just scoring at will now

A'ja had someone fall I to her leg in the final seconds of the game. Hope it isn't too bad, she is able to take the free throws.

Reese getting injured really sucks. Hopefully it's not actually that bad; we're like a couple of weeks away from the end of the season so maybe it'll only be a month-long recovery or something like that. She indicated she'll definitely be healthy by January, at least.

Over these last few games, the Sky should focus hard on seeing if they can make Cardoso their scoring centerpiece. In terms of who's currently on the roster, she seems like the best possible solution.

Lexie Hull is a wizard

edit: Indiana Fever basketball in a nutshell is shooting 60% from 3 and being down 4 at the half because the turnover margin is 12-1

Man that 8th seed is gonna be bad no matter who it ends up as. Chicago will probably lose out but if Atlanta and Washington split their series and lose to the good teams on their schedule it could end up a tie

I don’t think she hits the 3 point record but she’s gonna hit the others either this game or next and it’s insane that this is still probably only gonna get her 3rd in the MVP vote after Aja and Phee

And Stewie has (very slightly) better numbers than Phee on the best team in the league and isn't even getting talked up.

that represents the top third best 3p/m pg for her

it would be close but i think she can do it if she wants to

I feel like it would have been appropriate for Kyle to include the note that she has already broken the WNBA record for turnovers in a season by like 4,000%.

If brink hadn’t been injured basically every counting stat record except points and steals would have been in danger of being broken by a rookie this year and I think that’s wonderful

Yeah Mystics/Sky was sick, in that the Sky got Old Yellered. I guess every advanced metric saying Angel suting hurt the Sky more than any other starter in the league did must have meant something.

Where can one find such metrics for the W? I've never been very knowledgeable about basketball metrics.

Not that you even really need them to tell that Reese was about the only thing holding the Sky together. Reese is a star, Cardoso might be a star in a year or two, Carter is like an average starting guard, and after that they don't have much.

I'd imagine this site would have those kinds of stats, but you might need to pay for them: https://herhoopstats.com
