S2E38 - Winning basketball is BACK!
If you are listening to this podcast, the Phoenix Mercury have won a basketball game. This came about after the Merc have seemingly turned it around during their loss to the Chicago sky a couple weeks ago. After a couple tough losses, the Merc get to spend a few days back in the W column.
- Diana Taurasi ejection
- Response to my own comments from last week (oop)
- Tough loss vs Connecticut Sun
The miserable losing streak (7 games !) is now over. The Mercury got revenge on their LA rival for their high scoring bout early in the season, and wound up taking the win 81-74.
- Sparks good offense/bad defense philosophy falling apart
- Skylar Diggins-Smith
- Defensive intensity
- Sparks immediately firing former Lakers champion guard Derek Fisher from his head coaching duties.
Skylar Diggins-Smith ABSOLUTELY deserves your vote for the 2022 NBA All-Star event. She is coming off of a 29 point game vs the Sparks and has been having a great year despite some really bad losses to start the season.

There is news that the Suns went thru a COVID outbreak during the Western Conference semifinal series vs the Dallas Mavericks. To end off this episode, I share my reaction to the news.
Here's to four straight weeks of not talking about Deandre Ayton sign-and-trade deals.
Free Brittney Griner and we need to do whatever it takes to get her back safely to the United States. For her, for her family, and for the basketball community.
Remember to spread love and #ValleyExcellence. A new spaceship podcast episode will arrive again next Thursday and then prepare for our 2022 NBA Draft episode the following week!
