Yes - the Minnesota/Atlanta game indeed was a bust. I was looking forward to the match-up and was disappointed. However, one thing that I never noticed before was how quickly Erika de Souza runs up and down the court. I knew she was great in the post, but, wow, she can run when Atlanta is in transition (which the team was sorely lacking last night).

Yep. De Sousa is a baller. If she hadn't disappeared for five years after the problems in Los Angeles back in the day we'd be talking about her now as being one of the stongest to ever play the five spot in the WNBA. She's great on outlet passes to start the break.
