Luke needs to watch the Sparks offense. Great passing and they're assisting on over 60% of baskets. Wiped the floor with Seattle and Washington. Great come from behind victory over NY and cruised to an easy victory over Chicago.
Right now, the Sparks are 4-0; next game is Thursday May 26 at 4:00 pm.
I haven't watched the WNBA since the inaugural season but this season's team is fun to watch. The Sparks have their own version of Stef Curry in Kristi Toliver; her step-back 3s are amazing.

oh god. it never ends. _________________ Thank you, Kobe. We love you.
The Sparks are only going as far as Candace and Nneka takes them, but they have the supporting cast to go all the way this season.
This is TWC's TV schedule for June:
June 4: @ San Antonio 5:00 PM (PST)
June 14: Chicago Sky 7:30 PM
June 17: Phoenix Mercury 7:30 PM
June 21: Minnesota 12:30 PM
June 24: @ Minnesota 5:00 PM
June 26: Connecticut 2:00 PM
June 30: Atlanta 12:30 PM
Sparks win again, pulling away from San Antonio in the 4th with some hot 3 pt shooting. They are 7-0, 5-0 on the road. Next game is 7:00 pm on Tuesday vs New York on ESPN2.
Sparks blow out another team; this game was over by mid 3rd quarter. There's one play on offense where the ball goes around the court twice without touching the ground and Toliver hits a 3 from the corner. The team chemistry and passing is amazing.
The Sparks are still undefeated - 10-0, setting a franchise record. The league record is held by Minnesota who are currently 11-0. The two teams play next Tuesday.
Nneka had another monster game. She made 23 consecutive fgs over 3 games, setting a WNBA record. Everyone is playing great. Lavendar is automatic from mid-range. Toliver hits clutch threes and doesn't turn the ball over. Beard is playing like Coop out there with her lockdown defense.
Their next 3 games are gonna be tough: Phoenix with Taurasi and back to backs with the defending champs.
Close game. Phoenix is good but they don't have the same chemistry as the Sparks. Taurasi just plays at a quicker pace than the other opponents that the Sparks' faced but she got into foul trouble and stopped being aggressive.
Candace shows up for the big games like Shaq used to do. They don't win without her.
Big showdown between the two undefeated teams on Tuesday. Minnesota should beat Seattle handily tomorrow.
Sparks split with the Lynx, ending their 13 game win streak today. Candace had a bad game but the Sparks defense and 3 pt shooting helped them blow out the Lynx. Toliver has been on fire, hitting 7 threes today. Looks like the start of a rivalry.

Sparks tie Houston for best 15 game start in league history at 14-1. Today's win vs Dallas is a tale of two halves. Wings killed the Sparks and hit pretty much everything in the first half - think Jason Terry in that Dallas series. 2nd half was a different story; Wings got cold and Candace got hot.
Impressive win because Beard and Nneka were both in foul trouble for most of the game. Next up - Atlanta this Thursday at 12:30 pm.
Sparks win again, this time pummeling New York who were 7-1 since losing to the Sparks the last time. Just a bad match-up with the Sparks. Nneka and Candace had their hands full with Tina Charles but the rest of the Liberty sucks. Sparks are now 16-1; they play Indiana on Wednesday.
Sparks now 18-1, just 2 wins short of the all time WNBA record set by the Houston Comets. This is gonna be tough because Candace twisted her ankle pretty bad after a layup. Next game is Wednesday so she has some time to rest, but it doesn't look good.
