The 2007 WNBA season is now 12 days old and we already have our fair share of fascinating story lines. But this past week has been full of extremes: extreme winning, extreme losing and extreme fouls, but thankfully no Extreme, the early '90s hair band responsible for the power ballad "More Than Words." So without further ado (and embarrassing musical references), let's take a look back at the week that was:

Eastern Unbeatens

Undefeated is about as extreme as you can get on the winning side of things, and we still have three teams in the league that can make this claim. Not surprisingly, Detroit is one of those squads, after they moved to 3-0 with Wednesday night's win over the Mystics. Tamika Catchings (right) and Indiana also sit at 3-0 after Tuesday's pasting of the Lynx. The final unbeaten is the extremely surprising New York Liberty, who are 2-0 after wins over Chicago and Washington.

Comets Plummeting

When you have extreme winners, you're bound to have some extreme losers, and the Comets fit that bill so far in 2007. And they're not only 0-3… they're 0-3 in extremely painful fashion. On Opening Day, they jumped out to a 22-point lead in the second half against Seattle before crumbling in the final 15 minutes and losing by 13. On Friday, they allowed 111 points in a humbling defeat in Phoenix. And on Tuesday, they took a 19-6 first-quarter lead on San Antonio before falling apart and eventually losing by 11. Still, there is some extreme star power in Houston with Tina Thompson, Sheryl Swoopes and rookie Ashley Shields, so perhaps it's just a matter of time before they turn it around.

Old-Fashioned Western Shootout

Stars, Sparks, Storm and Mercury… oh my! There is some extreme parity in the West these days, as for brief periods of this young season, each of these teams has looked likely to conquer its conference foes. The Becky Hammon-led Silver Stars (right) are coming together more and more with each game. The Sparks looked amazing in a 20-point win on the road in Connecticut. Lauren Jackson and Seattle looked dominant until a Friday loss at San Antonio. Phoenix managed to overcome the flagrant-foul ejection of Diana Taurasi to beat the defending Western champion Sacramento on Tuesday. And despite their loss to Phoenix, the Monarchs will be in the mix as well. Who will walk away with the title? It'll be extremely tight and tough to call.

Early Season Swap

If you're a WNBA general manager and your team is struggling, what is something extreme you can do in an attempt to shake up your players? Trade one of them! That is exactly what happened last week when the Mystics sent veteran post Chasity Melvin to the Sky for second-year scorer Monique Currie, who Chicago had picked up in the Dispersal Draft. It remains to be seen how the deal will affect each team's playoff hopes, but Linda Hargrove and Bo Overton deserve credit for this attempt at an extreme early season roster makeover.

Still Struggling

The Comets have had a rough go so far in 2007, but it is the Minnesota Lynx who sport the league's worst record at 0-5. Seimone Augustus is leading the league is scoring, rookie point guard Lindsey Harding (right) is starting to put it together and Nicole Ohlde is solid in the post, but the Lynx haven't had enough scoring to tally that pesky first W. They'll get their next chance on Friday at home against the Liberty.

Pull Up a Seat

Hang on… where do you think you're going? With a whole slew of games this week, here are the ones you absolutely cannot miss, including a return to Connecticut for Diana Taurasi (right):

• Thursday: Phoenix at San Antonio, 8 p.m. ET
• Friday: New York at Minnesota, 8 p.m. ET
• Saturday: Phoenix at Connecticut, 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC
• Sunday: Washington at Indiana, 6 p.m. ET
• Tuesday: Minnesota at Phoenix, 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2
• Wednesday: Houston at Indiana, 7 p.m. ET

Injury Watch

• Sparks guard Temeka Johnson still hasn't played after undergoing knee surgery in February. It is unclear when exactly she'll be returning, though there has been speculation that she could make her season debut on Saturday in Sacramento.

• Lynx forward Tamika Raymond has missed four of Minnesota's five games with hamstring issues.

• Sun point guard Lindsay Whalen damaged cartilage in her nose after colliding with Chamique Holdsclaw's shoulder last weekend and is expected to wear a mask on the court for the next two weeks. She is not expected to miss any time.

Best and Worst

Much was made of Taj McWilliams-Franklin's return to Connecticut over the weekend to lead the Sparks against the Sun. And her homecoming could only be gauged as extremely successful after she posted 15 points and grabbed seven boards in L.A.'s 88-68 win. On the flip side, Taj's replacement in the Sun starting lineup, Asjha Jones, had a less than stellar debut against her mentor, scoring only three points on 1-14 shooting.

Closing Number: 1.000

Phoenix center Olympia Scott is the only player in the league with a perfect 1.000 shooting percentage from the field, having connected on her only field goal attempt of the season Tuesday against the Monarchs. She is also a perfect 4-4 from the free throw line. Perfection: It doesn't get any more extreme than that.
