Washington Pouring It On The Lynx

[malevocalist#]

And a close one in NY.

Minnesota may get their second lost of the season.

Mercury with it's trading of late is set to make a run for it down the stretch. Anything is possible during the playoffs.

Not good. LA just might smell blood & take the division and home court.

 

[malevocalist#]

Two of Minnesota starters had Zero points. Wow!

The Suns are hanging with LA early but for how long? One thing about playing LA this year is you better put up a lot of points fast and play some defense.

Wish Sun can beat Sparks....

We both on the same page regarding that wish.

Anyone know?

Anyone know?

We will know sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

But she did play a good game in that lost against LA.

Maybe Washington had a hell of defenseive game plan.

For some reason, Washington matches up well with Minnesota. I just got home from the game. The Lynx were a combination of flat and woeful. I thought they would be energized after losing on Friday. Minnesota's defense was poor, giving up something like 6 threes in the first quarter. The score was 33-13 after 1, and Washington basically maintained the 20-point lead the rest of the way. Coach Reeve was irate at her starters and benched most of them. As noted, Maya had 5 points. Seimone and Lindsay combined for 0 points. That was Seimone's career low. No one got a technical, but Coach Reeve was thoroughly disgusted. We sat about 10 feet behind her and could clearly hear several nasty words.

Maya was out of synch and benched. But healthy.

Not that I want to reignite that discussion, but they were the Olympians, Seimone and Lindsay.

Maybe the Lynx were distracted. After all, it would be the last visit with its current occupant. For Ms Moore, it would be five visits in 6 years. Her college and pro career has spanned the arc of an immensely historic event.

They may have been distracted. As far as I could tell, POTUS didn't give them any crap about Sunday's game.

Washington is pouring it on the Stars today, 53-27 early in the third period. All 1o Mystics players scored in the first half. Moriah is -25 in 12 minutes of play. Yikes!!

Maya did something to her leg or ankle when they played the sparks the first time. She was hobbling around in the 4th quarter and they took her out for the rest of the game. I think she might have tweaked something.

Maya hurt her thigh in the first game against L.A. and couldn't finish the game. She seemed healthy and played well in the second game against L.A. In the Mystics game, she seemed fine physically. Three of us who are huge Maya fans sat literally 8' behind her. Coach Reeve was pissed at the decision-making and effort by all her starters. They were run off the floor in the first period, 33-13. Maya started poorly and didn't get enough playing time to make amends. It was probably the worst game I've ever seen Maya play. I look for her to bounce back against N.Y. tonight.

Speaking of poor games, Moriah had 4 points and 1 assist in 16 minutes today. The Mystics are making a habit of making other teams look bad in Washington.

I think Mo is bruised and battered. She was clobbered a couple of times the game before and asked to come out - sat with an icepack on her hip. In this (horrible) game, she also seemed slow to get up when knocked down and grabbed her back.

I saw the game when she injured her hip. She was walking like an old lady. If she is hurting, she loses much of her advantage. In today's game, she played as much as most of the starters, so it's impossible to tell from the box score. If she looked hobbled, she's probably less than 100%.
