Today is the last day of the Doctor Who convention in Minneapolis. Aside from providing moral support from the audience during a friend's panel, my presence was not required anywhere. Until I return to Atlanta tomorrow, I've basically got the entire time off.
The Dream went on the road and beat the Fever 90-88. It bugs me a bit that we don't have a decisive, beginning to end victory yet, but I'll take a bad win over a good loss any day of the week. Shoni Schimmel had like what, 10 assists? The PR guy at the Dream front office stated that this was the best total of assists over the first two games of a career, tying her only with Suzie McConnell-Serio. My understanding, however, was that McConnell-Serio was not all that great, so someone needs to be following Schimmel at all times, whispering into her ear, "Remember, thou art mortal!"
Another person needing someone to whisper that is Angel McCoughtry. She's had a couple of good games coming back, although due to a reported hip injury, she didn't start the second game and just came off the bench. Of course, there was someone on Twitter implying that it might have been a case of McCoughtry ending up in Cooper's doghouse just two games in - her reputation is so bad that people won't even give her the benefit of the doubt anymore.
If I were McCoughtry, I'd be concerned. Part of McCoughtry's invulnerability comes from the fact that she's indispensable. She's the player on all the billboards. But if Schimmel - who looks more popular over the last two games than McCoughtry has been over the last two years - continues to shine, then McCoughtry's Atlanta pedestal might be a bit more shaky.
