I would normally have said that being game 2 of the doomsday double, and being a team noted for being inconsistent, Logan might not be such as sure a thing in this game as the odds suggest.
However the Waves did a wonderful job of playing them into form last night without making them work hard, so I'm not really liking the Lightning's chances so much.

Bit of a gap starting to open up now in the WNBL standings between the legit teams and the bottom 4 of AIS, Adelaide, Townsville & West Coast.

townsville are surprisingly below my pre-season predictions.

Just hope the lightning don't let the thunder push them around like canberra did the other weekend - they just intimidated us physically and need strong refereeing next time.

demya was the only one that stood up to the continual bump and push by the caps

why are the lightning sticking with an import that plays 3 min a game????

someone seems to be keen to throw money away.

From ABC.net.au/sports

In Sunday afternoon's late fixture, Logan moved to within a game of the league's top three with an 85-76 win over the ninth-placed Lightning in Adelaide.

Renae Camino and Kristen Veal put up 18 points each for the visiting Queenslanders, with the latter also adding 12 rebounds and nine assists.

The Thunder led at every break although the second half was a tight affair with the Lightning actually outscoring Logan 43-42 after the halfway point.

Mia Newley had a game-high 20 points for the hosts while Demya Walker produced a near triple-double effort with 12 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

Same old same old, Lightning either can't or are just flat out unwilling to play team defense. Any WNBL team can get whatever shot they want against the Lightning at any time. You can't consistently get 80 - 90 points dropped on you every week. Perhaps Lightning coaching staff could get some video on the Perth Wildcats to show the Lightning players how you play tough & uncompromising defense for the entire game. No communication, no rotation & no dedication at the defense end sums up the Lightning!

I feel we need to set more than one player on ball or away screens to get our "go to" players open.

the teams that are getting open on us are running staggered or double screens with strong cuts from the weak side.

emma langford is such a worker on the court.
Caitlin Cunningham did well.


a few shooters were off their game today.

liked pasadena as a venue a bit lighter and "airier" than wayville

good to see the team and coach go to the centre huddle at the end of the game and everyone wave - missed that last game.

Definite a lot of individuals, the new import is a selfish "look at me" player. Her verbal stoush at Veal mid court was embarrassing. Perhaps she could realise that everything does not revolve around her and that she could also take off the head phones through warm ups!!!

If wearing a set of headphones results in an almost tripple/double, then I will donate a set for every person in the team.

I noticed one of the new rules come in to play with this game.

There was a foul on the Lightning and a Tech foul follwed on the Logan player for excesivly throwing her elbow.

I think this happens often during the games but have never seen it called.

Perhaps the Lightning need to show some of that type of agression during games

heard exactly the same story re marino, that plus the headphones and the lack of intensity at practice spells Seeya coaches.

Bring some balls or get out.
