so their +/- without LA was -2 for KMac and +2 for Aja (give or take a point).

a lot of the time, +/- doesn't mean much. For LA, in this game, it was.

3 players played the whole game: KM, Aja & Young. The PG (Plum) and C (Park) subbed out for LA & a combo of Bone & Hamby.

The lineup of LA, KMac, Aja, Young & Hamby was the most effective.

..into the point guard role, when it's clear she's more of a scorer.
With MoJeff's injury, it would be better to rotate Plum into both the shooting guard and a little bit of the PG with Kmac and LA. Lindsay should probably look for her shot a bit more to keep defenses honest.

situation, in that they had a back-to-back game (both on the road) and the game last night in Indiana went to OT. But they destroyed the Liberty. They were up by 24 with 2 minutes left in the game, and NY's subs closed the game on a 9-0 to make the final score 78-63. McBride (16 points on 7/12) and Dearica Hamby (17 points on 7/11) led the way. Lindsay Allen had 7 assists vs. 2 TO whereas the starting PG Plum had 1 assist and 3 TO. Despite not starting, Allen logged more minutes than Plum (25 vs 18). Plum is a talented player, but she is not a WNBA PG like Allen could be. Both players are in their second year in the WNBA.

..some of which Ruth Riley helped procure, but -- in all fairness -- Laimbeer is an accomplished WNBA coach and can help pull it together.

Seems like he is doing the "I'll start the better-known player, then put in the steady eddie and see which is playing better. Then, I'll go with them. For that game."

I thought the Liberty made a big mistake cutting LA because so many of their guards have the same skill set. Hartley and Boyd, the de facto points, are more scorers. Think LA is in a better place with Aces, whether temporarily or longer. Who knows how long MoJeff will be out?
