Let's assume for the sake of argument that Sacramento will not relocate, because if they do it makes the following exercise useful only as a thought exercises. Already, fans are asking, "what happens to Sacramento's players?" They've already asked on the Atlanta Dream Message Board; they will ask elsewhere. It all seems a bit untoward. It undoubtedly reminds Sacramento fans of the scene in...

It just seems to go back and forth between Fenerbahce (2-0), the winner of last year's TBBL championship, and Mersin (1-1), the runner up last year and winner of the President's Cup game against Fenerbahce this year.

Ivory Latta greets her new teammates. It looks like I'm a little bit late on reporting on the President's Cup in the TBBL - the Turkish Women's Basketball League. It looks like the Turkish season gets started with the President's Cup, and Mersin - which was swept 3-0 in the TBBL championship last year - gained some measure of revenge with an 86-74 win over defending champion Fenerbahce. Finding a box...

Rebekkah Brunson gets her shot blocked by the Lynx's Rashanda McCants in the first half. The record came early in the first quarter – on a three-pointer with 6:11 left. Nicole Powell just didn't have time to celebrate. "I knew it was early, and I heard the fans," Powell said. "But we were still playing a game so I don't think anybody was really paying attention to it." Powell...

The season of Monarchs forward Nicole Powell (14) will go down as one of the best in franchise history. Some athletes feign ignorance as to their statistics, coming off as modest while secretly tracking their numbers down to seconds played. But when told of Monarchs records she is close to surpassing, Nicole Powell is genuinely taken aback by the notion her career-best 2009 will go down as one of...

There were several ways Monarchs coach John Whisenant could have described the play of forward Rebekkah Brunson. In the end, Whisenant kept it simple. "Rebekkah Brunson was a beast," he said. Brunson scored a career-high 32 points and grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds to lead the Monarchs in a 90-70 rout of the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night at Arco Arena. Brunson finished two points shy...
