The WNBA kicks off training camp in a couple of weeks and I must say, it couldn’t come sooner! I pretty much watch basketball year round, from the WNBA, NCAA, and FIBA (and other foreign leagues, but it is always exciting when the WNBA season is about to start.
This season is going to be a little different, the Comets are gone, Tina is in LA (should have been San Antonio! lol), Parker says she is going to return but with pregnancies ya never know, LJ is still undecided….. or at least says she is lol! Not too sure I actually believe she hasn’t made a decision. Maybe she just wanted to get the hell out of Russia and sharing a house with both Bird and Taurasi before she made a public decision…. I mean if she does choose the Mercury… how awkward would that be for her and Bird living in the same house lol!
Which brings me to another thing…. what is up in Seattle!? Last year they were loaded with players that couldn’t wait to play there… this season… not so much. Swoopes waived, Yo just straight up jetted! Looks like one of the faces of the franchise (LJ) may do the same thing. Without LJ… can Seattle even be a contender for a playoff spot? Can Bird carry this team all season? Can Swin be healthy all season?
On the positive tip, Chamique Holdsclaw has come out of retirement and is with the Atlanta Dream…. I actually think the Dream will be a team to deal with this season, they have made some additions that should turn the team around. And you know, it isn’t like they were walked all over last season, they lost a lot of close games.
But enough about player movement…… I think some of the sportswriters have LA winning it all this season…. just like they had them winning it all last season… and we see how successful that was lol!
I am going with San Antonio and Detroit…. again lol! And if that happens, I will be there again! lol! And this time San Antonio will walk away victorious! ….. I’m just sayin lol
I would have loved to have said I was picking the Liberty to win the east, but now that Anne Donovan has been named assistant coach of the Liberty… I just can’t even deal with it. Yes, I am still bitter with AD over the whole Becky Hammon situation and I don’t see that changing. And I think by next season that the Lib will be Donovan’s team….. and that really sucks! Cause I do love the Lib girls!! 
I’m also already looking forward to the next NCAA season. I am anxious to see how my UConn girls are going to do without Renee. Hopefully Doty can stay healthy and we get Buck back …and we have Maya…… and Tina…. and…. I could keep going… plus the new recruits… I think this team could go back to back!!
But I think the main thing I am ready to see in the next NCAA season is Brittney Griner… the girl is like WHOA!!! I’ve been keeping tabs on her for a few years now and she just continues to get more impressive. She is going to make a difference in Baylors program… she is going to make a difference in women’s ball period.
Did I mention that I’m still salty that Donovan is now with the Liberty?
On to other things…..
Russian Superleague….. all I’m gonna say is UMMC had to work twice as hard as Spartak did and be damn near flawless to win the championship…. cause I’m tellin ya…. the calls that go Spartaks way (most of the time) just make me think CHA CHING!! Take what you want from that lol!
