I was flipping channels and saw the WNBA playoffs on ESPN 2. It was the Mercury and the Sparks. Haven't really seen any WNBA games this year but have watched some in the past. Diana Taurasi was eating up the Sparks. Girl's still a beast. Looks like she's lost some weight since last I saw her too.

We already lost one championship to her and the Mercury. Hope to see them in the Finals again this year for a little payback!!!

Yea, would be a nice rematch.

I was just amazed last night. Hadn't watched a women's basketball game in a while and I realize that the Mercury aren't like most other WNBA teams in the style they play so it's more fun to watch, but still, Diana's game is so cold. Always thought she was a great player all the way back at UConn where as a sophomore she was still the best player on that team even with Bird and Swin Cash. But, she is something to watch.

I hate Taurasi, and can't wait to see her in the finals to start an overrated chant!

Lol you can hate her all you want, but she's the best player in the league. She's better than Candace Parker and Tamika Catchings and Lauren Jackson and Deanna Nolan. She's the best female player I've seen. And, I watched several games of those Houston Comets teams with Sheryl Swoopes and Cynthia Cooper. Diana Taurasi is the baddest chick baller I've ever watched.

Best player in the league? Nah. Maybe best offensive player...I'll give you that but not best all around player. She's definitely not underrated though, the woman is a stud. I love her game.

Taurasi is nice, but there's no way she's better than Cynthia Cooper! Coop is the best female player I've ever seen. She was the first player male or female I saw doing that little cross step that Wade and Ginoboli do on their way to the basket. She was way too clutch to put Taurasi ahead of her right now.
