Today, some comments on what has been a surprising, highly competitive, roughly first half of the WNBA season.

Having been away from the action for a while, I was surprised to see the defending champion Minnesota Lynx have struggled.However, they are still in playoffs position and a serious threat to repeat as league champions.

Kudos to the so far best record, Seattle Storm and to the Dallas Wings’ Liz Cambage, who is averaging over 20 points per game.

This week Cambage hit for a WNBA record 53 points, on blazing 17 for 22 shooting from the field, in a victory over one of this season’s disappointing teams, the New York Liberty.
