What are your observations on the WNBA playoffs this year?

I'm becoming a big Ornella Bankole fan. I think she gives a defensive intensity that this team lacks. With Bankole, Harrison, Rice, and Sykes I can start to see how the Tempo could become a good defence-first team.

Bankole is 28 though so I don't think she is going to change a lot from who she is, but I think she has more offensive juice to give the Tempo - it's just that her teammates aren't used to getting her involved on offence. I think she could be a good 3&d player.

I think with so many injured players to end the season Bankole will be getting bigger minutes and it will be fun to see how she affects the Tempo's defence.
