What better way to start the season than with Pat Wright!

OK this is the deal where they have the players run down the aisles so half my pictures are really close and the rest are from a mile away.

My attempt at a panning shot.
|

11.jpg
Why don't any of the players smile when they come down my aisle?
|

12.jpg
|

|

14.jpg
That's everybody.
|

15.jpg
The Monarchs start off with a really hard shot...
|

16.jpg
...that doesn't work.
|

17.jpg
|

Same thing again. Is shooting over LJ the best idea?
|

19.jpg
|

20.jpg
|

21.jpg
Am I repeating myself? Not only is LJ able to screw up this shot...
|

22.jpg
...she has the vision to somehow follow the ball as it goes past her.
|

23.jpg
Nicole gets the rebound and tries desperate to get a shot off as the defense collapses on her.
|

Brunson tries to fake LJ out...
|

30.jpg
...but it still leads to a big LJ block...
|

31.jpg
...which DeMya and LJ fight over.
|

32.jpg

You'd think DeMya could shoot over LJ but she misses the shot...
|

37.jpg
...and Katie gets her one rebound of the game.
|

38.jpg
|

39.jpg
|

I really thought Katie was good as a second defender in double teams.
|

Sue steal.
|

|

47.jpg
Nearly a foul here.
|

48.jpg
|

At the first game of the season, Doppler tends to have a few too many at the FSN HD lounge...
|

50.jpg
...and this is the result.
|

51.jpg
No foul called here but DeMya missed yet another shot...
|

52.jpg
...DeMya gets her rebound and misses again thanks to LJ deviating the shot...
|

53.jpg
...oddly Camile would have been in the perfect position for the rebound if she hadn't been getting up!
|

54.jpg
Is Harper running this thing in for a touchdown?
|

55.jpg
|

56.jpg
Katie tries to draw a charge but nothing doing.
|

57.jpg
Ouch! So pointy!
|

58.jpg
Harper tries the "sweep" that bugs me because it seems like an offensive foul. Maybe players should just flop over when this happens.
|

Second half, he we go with some good outside shooting.
|

|

69.jpg
Here's a really outside shot...
|

70.jpg
...didn't go in though.
|

71.jpg
|

72.jpg
Camile gets the ball swatted away...
|

73.jpg
...but to save the ball, she knocks it right back to Camile!
|

74.jpg
|

75.jpg
The shot clock was reset. Michael Price somehow thought that knock was a change in possession. I think he was mistaken.
|

76.jpg
|

77.jpg
Swin pass to LJ.
|

78.jpg
|

79.jpg
I think Sue likes this spot.
|

80.jpg
Look like Janell will have another layup...
|

81.jpg
...but there was this little foul.
|

82.jpg
LJ looks like she's happy to be back.
|

83.jpg
DeMya knocks the ball away...
|

84.jpg
...Sue is 100% convinced that was a foul but I didn't see much contact at all.
|

85.jpg
It looks like the Monarchs have given up in the last minute.
|

Two nights, two losses.
