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...

#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...

It's been a great day for Atlanta Dream players so far. Both Erika de Souza's and Sancho Lyttle's teams win, and now Iziane Castro Marques has been undefeated while playing on her new club, Wisla Can-Pack Krakow (5-3). Krakow hit the road and came back from behind from a horrible first quarter, winning 78-67 against Siemens (3-6) on the road. The box score is here . Nothing with regard to pictures...

All of the good stuff - box score, game report, and pictures - are right here . FIBA Europe website, you rock! This...

Usually, it's Erika de Souza that stacks up all the honors in the Liga Femenina, but this time it's Sancho Lyttle that is bringing home the (mythical) hardware. Lyttle was named the Most Valuable Player of the Spanish League for the month of October. Other awards: Best team : Ros Casares, but who didn't expect that? Best coach : Ismael Canto, the Ros Casares coach. MVP : Sancho Lyttle, definitely....

Work has been very busy, and frankly, I'm exhausted right now. Might not be a new post. Lots going on. Euroleague games today, Iziane Castro Marques arrives in Poland, Sancho Lyttle named the Liga Femenina MVP for the month of October. But more posting than that might have to wait till I recover.

Sancho Lyttle signs some autographs after the Perfumerias/Zaragoza game. Two photo galleries from Sancho Lyttle's Liga Femenina team, Perfumerias. The first is the gallery from the Perfumerias/Krakow game where Krakow delivered an upset in Euroleague play. The second is from the recent Perfumerias/Zaragoza game in the Liga Femenina where Perfumerias delivered a defeat to heretofore-undefeated Zaragoza....

For Perfumerias (4-1), still smarting over their losses to Rivaa Ecopolis in the Liga Femenina and to Krakow in Euroleague, an opportunity presented itself: the undefeated Zaragoza team was coming to visit. This time, it would be Perfumerias that would walk away with the victory, beating the Zaragoza (4-1) visitors 69-53 in Salamanca. The box score is here . No write-up of the game just yet, and no...

Liron Cohen looks for a Krakow player. The match between Iziane Castro Marques and Sancho Lyttle will have to wait until later in the year - Castro Marques doesn't show up to Krakow until November 6th - but there was still a game to be played in Salamanca. Wisla Can-Pack Krakow came into the match as a substitute for CSKA, and upset Perfumerias 65-60 at their home in Salamanca. All three parts of the...

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...

It looks like I might have a source for Sancho Lyttle pictures. (I wonder if P. Martin Puertas is a Perfumerias fan.) There are 184 photos here of the Perfumerias/Vigo game . Including more than one photo of #15, Sancho Lyttle. You might want to take a look.

It's been a rough year for Perfumerias (3-1) so far. On the road, they took a 48-36 lead at halftime but home team Cadi la Seu (1-3) played the visitors tough in the second half. Not tough enough, however, as Perfumerias escaped with an 86-81 win. The box score is here . No pictures or good write-ups just yet, but there is a brief write-up here . According to Ricard Alonso-Bartol, Perfumerias tends...

Anna Carbo works against Erika de Souza. Carbo had six points. From Game 3 of the Liga Feminina, enCancha.com provides some photos of the Ros Casares/Girona matchup. Click the link to see the gallery. Also: Sancho Lyttle was named the enCancho Player of the Week by enCancha.com for her 24 point, 15 rebound performance against Vigo.
