Things have gotten even tougher for the struggling San Antonio Stars.With leading scorer Kayla McBride out for the season with a broken foot suffered earlier in July, the Stars (5-16) have lost three straight and now head to Phoenix to take on Diana Taurasi and the high-scoring Mercury on Saturday at Talking Stick Resort Arena.McBride was averaging 17.1 points before being ruled out for the season. She was the focal point of a limited offense, and the Stars are still trying to figure out how to adjust.Weve gone through a period where youve lost your leading scorer, San Antonio coach Dan Hughes told the teams website. So you handle it, but then teams adjust a little bit to you not having that. So now we have to play to some other aspects of our game.The Stars are averaging a league-low 72.8 points per game and the Mercury lead the WNBA in scoring, averaging 86.9 points per game.The Mercury snapped a three-game losing streak with a 78-74 win over the Washington Mystics on Wednesday. Brittney Griner had 22 points, eight rebounds and five blocks in the win.Taurasi, the second leading scorer in the WNBA, had 21 of her 31 points in the first half of the Mercurys 90-75 home win over the Stars on June 10. Phoenix has won three straight and seven of eight overall against San Antonio.The Stars are coming off an 81-57 blowout loss to the Minnesota Lynx. They were outrebounded 43-26 by the Lynx. Moriah Jefferson led the Stars with 14 points and Monique Curry added 10. Jefferson is the only active Star averaging in double figures at 11.5 points per game.Its tough when you take somebody that your leading scorer because thats been a big percentage of what you do, Hughes said. But now weve had a little time to say, Lets emphasize this. Lets focus on this execution.The Stars five wins are the fewest in the WNBA. They are 1-8 against Western Conference teams. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Customized/ . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Nate-Allen-Jersey/ . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Xavien-Howard-Jersey/ . The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Kenny-Stills-Jersey/ . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Walt-Aikens-Jersey/ . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. Last week, we speculated over the potential landing spot of the League of Legends offseasons biggest free agent, AD carry wunderkind and three-time Worlds quarterfinalist Kim Deft Hyuk-kyu, after he announced he is leaving the Chinese region in hopes of joining a South Korean club in 2017.The second hottest League free agent, former Summoners Cup winner and Worlds MVP Cho Mata Se-hyeong, also departed from the LPL region, turning down more money in China to return home to the LCK region for the upcoming split.One of the best leaders in the games history -- although obviously not the offensive ace like Deft -- Mata might even be more valuable for teams looking to get over the hump in the worlds most difficult region. What would the South Korean League of Legends landscape look like when Mata finds a new home?SKT Mata?Like with Deft, people are going to be quick to insert Mata into the SK Telecom T1 lineup and gush over how the greatest team in the world just got better. Of course, on paper the swap of Mata for Lee Wolf Jae-wan seems like a no-brainer; however, for all of Wolfs shortcomings, his chemistry and partnership with star marksmen Bae Bang Jun-sik is unquestioned. Their bot lane partnership dates back to NaJin Shield in late 2012 and early 2013. Two world championships and four years of being by each others side is something you cant just simply brush aside for something shinier in the rearview mirror.Would SKT Mata be interesting? Yes, and it might be the added piece that helps SKTs macro game reach the levels it did back in 2015, when the team only dropped one game at the World Championships. Logically, though, would you break up a back-to-back world champion bottom lane to sign your teams former greatest rival?ROX Mata?As we mentioned with Deft, the ROX Tigers are only the Tigers because of the friendship between the players and coaching staff within the organization. You start moving players around and bringing in bigger names just for the sake of celebrity, and theyre no longer the ROX Tigers but some other sort of animal entirely. Also, is Mata even better than ROXs current starter in Kang GorillA Beom-hyeon? Gorilla didnt reach the same heights as he did in his breakout 2015 season, but he is firm in his position as one of the worlds elite supports.Out of all the teams in the LCK, ROX Mata seems the least likely.SSG Mata?Could the captain return home to the organization he led to a world title in 2014? It would be quite poetic for the maestro to sign with Samsung after the club came up one game short of winning the 2016 Summoners Cup. The only roadblock would be, well, money, which is why Mata left the team in the first place. And dont forget a guy named Jo Core JJ Yong-in, whose play at the World Championships could have possibly netted him his own MVP award if Samsung had won the fifth game over SKT in the finals. After playing AD carry for all of his professional career, Core JJ changed positions in hopes of becoming the best support in the world, and lless than a year into his transition, hes already making a case for himself.ddddddddddddWhile nostalgia is strong, Samsung were diligent in their rebuild of the roster without taking any shortcuts. Now after finally achieving their goal of reviving the franchise, the club has a bottom lane duo of Core and Park Ruler Jae-hyuk that hasnt even nearly reached their full potential together.KT Mata?Pull the trigger, KT. Do it. If there was one place where it would make sense for both parties, it would be KT Rolster. Mata would be joining a top team with chances of contending in the spring, and KT could sign the player that will ultimately get them over the hump of never making it to a Worlds final. Although KT has been a contender the past four years, they failed to make a semifinal of a World Championship, having to watch at home as SKT T1, their arch-nemesis of over a decade in esports, won a trio of titles.Ha Hachani Seung-chan, the teams current starter, has been maligned for a majority of his career despite putting together a strong split last summer. Unfortunately, Hachani, regardless of how good hes gotten, is not Mata. And unlike Core, you dont have the same feeling of belief that there is still a higher ceiling he can reach. The Hachani we see in front of us is probably the Hachani that we will have from now on: an above average, starter-level player in Korea, but not a standout or game breaker.Mata is a game breaker. He can be the difference between a middling team going nowhere and one raising hardware. Be it with KT Deft or the teams current starter in No Arrow Dong-hyeon, the addition of Mata would change the entire complexion of KT Rolster. The farthest KT Rolster has ever gotten at Worlds -- well, their only time going to Worlds -- was when the brain trust of Go Score Dong-bin and Lee Piccaboo Jong-beom led the roller coaster ride to the quarterfinals before losing to the Tigers. The tandem of Score and Mata would be unmatched in South Korea when it comes to game knowledge and experience.Longzhu Mata?Longzhu has a lot of money. They could probably get Mata and Deft if they wanted. Although KT Rolster would be a better fit for Mata, the temptation of playing at home while also making money could be appealing to him. Its the best of both worlds. And maybe, just maybe, with a leader in Mata, the inept late-game of Longzhu could turn into a strength. Longzhu was one of the best teams in the laning phase during the 2016 year but had no clue what to do come the mid-to-late game. If Longzhu had to choose between Deft, an elite carry, and Mata, an elite leader, the latter would be more beneficial for the club over the long run. The team as it stands is already talented -- now they just need a frontman to conduct them.After a pitiful display at IEM Oakland, its less Longzhu should want Mata, and more that the deflated super team needs Mata.
