MVP Candace Parker tweets she's back at practice. Minnesota is rebounding from losing star/leader Seimone Augustus, but what's the most popular question here? Whether stars Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson were benched on Sunday. Oh, and one call for Storm coach Brian Agler's head. Won't touch on the latter, that's just ridiculous after one loss. Not even if that loss was by 27-points. It was one game...
