Alana Beard signs with the Los Angeles Sparks
I'm happy that Alana can continue her career and I'm also happy that another team is putting faith in her too. I've been clear that the Mystics should have let her go, so I do not have a problem with it, as Monique Currie and Crystal Langhorne are the priorities. Let's see what else happens in...
Quick Analysis: L.A. Sparks trade Noelle Quinn to Washington Mystics for Marissa Coleman
While Noelle Quinn did make a slightly higher percentage of threes (39.7%), Marissa Coleman made more than twice as many (53) and is more of a scorer.

ESPN's Mechelle Voepel gives her take on the four teams not in the playoffs, and how disappointing their seasons were, relative to each other. In short, the Sparks had the most disappointing season, in large part due to Candace's mid season injury. Though I beg to differ, Washington had the 2nd...
L.A. Sparks star Candace Parker on making playoffs: "We just need to win out and see what happens."
While the Phoenix Mercury clinched a 2011 WNBA playoff berth with their win tonight, the Los Angeles Sparks find themselves on the brink of elimination but will still have hope if they can beat the San Antonio Silver Stars on Tuesday. Parker is right: the Sparks just need to win. But that's easier...

Los Angeles Sparks' 75-70 win over Indiana Fever: Huge for their playoff hopes
The L.A. Sparks figured to challenge for the 2011 WNBA playoffs with Candace Parker returning, but as described in a SBN Seattle feature earlier today they'd probably have to win something close to 8 or 9 games to have a shot. Of those 8 or 9 wins, beating the Indiana Fever - even at home - did...
San Antonio beats LA Sparks 79-69 on Monday, July 18
Becky Hammon scores 26 with four three pointers in this game giving the Sparks back to back losses in back to back nights, after yesterday's loss to Washington. LA's starters only scored 15 total points, Toliver had an uncharacteristic 0-12 shooting night, and it's safe to say that they'd like to...
