I just took a look at a new blog entry by Chamique Holdsclaw . If these are her words, Holdsclaw can definitely write. It also looks like Armintie Price is starting a mini-blog on the Atlanta Dream web site. Price is off to a good start, mentioning the fact that she is working as an assistant coach for Mississippi during the off-season. A few athletes have blogs at the WNBA site itself. The blogs are...

#35 (minus one) drives forward. It looks like blogging frequency at the Pleasant Dreams Blog is going to go into a steep decline. The problem is that my work is looking into steps to severely curtail employee internet access. Which sucks, because whenever it was slow at work, I could always fill the down time by blogging. Now, I can't even do that anymore. This leaves the only blogging time left as...

Okay, Chamique Holdsclaw didn't work, and they got Candice Dupree to replace her. Now, Shanna Crosley isn't working out, and the "Good Angels" picked up Angel McCoughtry to replace her. According to przemoe over on RebKell, the plan was for McCoughtry to play in China during the off-season. However, the unnamed team in China withdrew the contract which gave Dobrí anjeli Košice...

Barack Obama is just as much a woman-hater as the late conservative North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms in the wild eyes of radical abortion-mongering feminist and PBS "To the Contrary" host Bonnie Erbe . And just why is Ms. Erbe so steamed at President Obama? Because, and I kid you not, the commander-in-chief doesn't shoot hoops with women. Erbe -- who has still not gotten over Obama losing...

Bonnie Erbe writes: President Obama could invite Chamique Holdsclaw to the private White House basketball court and Billie Jean King to play tennis with him. I still wouldn't believe he's any more comfortable dealing with women or concerned about "women's" issues than the dearly departed former Sen. Jesse Helms. President Obama talks the talk a lot better and a lot louder than Helms. But...

Last year, I did a few posts regarding similarity scores . From the earlier post: Similarity Scores was designed to be a fair way to compare players by their career statistical lines. The idea is "start with 1000" points and then begin to take away points from points of difference. For example, if two players had career steals totals that were 20 steals apart, we would take one point away...

On RebKell, uptochallenge asked this question about European leagues: I find it hard to believe that the average players in Turkey, Poland, Greece, Czech Republic and Armenia make more that they do in the WNBA. I have a friend with daughter who played in Poland last year and the last I heard she was having trouble getting paid. The SI article also noted that even the teams in Moscow play in front of...

It's now been posted at the Dobrí anjeli Košice web page - Chamique Holdsclaw is no longer with the team. She recently Twittered that she was at the London airport, and now we know the reason why. From the translated webpage : "Unfortunately, the games showed that it has recently operated knee tolerate full load. It will need more than a month to treat, so we have by mutual agreement,...

Is #7 who I think it is? In the Fenerium tournament in Istanbul, Turkey, Turkish team Fenerbahce defeated Dobrí anjeli Košice 61-47 in a "friendly" match. There is no detailed information at either Fenerbahce's web page, Dobrí anjeli Košice's web page or either web page of the national organizations of either country. Eurobasket has the only information . Finding...
