Aces at Sky 6PM . NBA TV. No more liberty for me. Can't take it.

On the other hand, probably going to get a Cambage whine fest

Edit, Refs deciding to call fouls by the bushel on the Sky Bigs. Some calls are absurd. Gabby needed in the Post

But on the positive side, Aja Wilson is back

 

[Reypl21]

She’s really impressed me this summer. She will be a force. Indiana would do well to pair her and Achonwa up in the paint more often.

Kia, Tina and the Liberty are up against Phoenix in a couple of minutes!

ETA: I forgot Bria!

Once Dupree retires, I think McCowan will be ready to be their center. Achonwa is a 4, but they insist on playing her as an undersized 5.

Her wine for her a T. She literally had her arm on Dolsons neck but she’s looking for the foul. Of course, it wasn’t called.

For those saying Tina Charles is having a sub par year, take a look at the complete lack of help.

Not watching the game but can imagine Tina making all her shots through triple teams

 

[Trappa]

No more liberty for me. Can't take it.

It is, by far, the ugliest half of basketball I’ve seen in an age.

 

[Geew1992]

Gabby comes in the game and forces turnovers, making plays, gives the Sky the lead. For some reason she’s chilling on the bench

 

[eebmg]

Give me Liberty or give me death. (Oops. same thing).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aja was ready to play. 17 points at halftime 6-9 FG.


Storm vs. Mystics about to tip off. Sounds like Canada is ready to go after missing the last game.

Nice interview with Blake Dietrich. She played lacrosse in addition to hoops in college.

There was an article in the local paper today, sounds like they aren't expecting Bird to return this season.

I think it Storm and Lynx

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think it Storm and Lynx

You are correct. I'm watching the game and somehow messed that up. Storm might stand a chance against the Lynx, they are no match for the Mystics.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wait, maybe the Lynx aren't playing today. Down 11-0 5 minutes into the game before they finally got a bucket w/ 5 turnovers.

Howard just broke a franchise single season record for steals, with a handful of games left to play. How many teams have a post player who owns the season record for steals?

 

[Geew1992]

That maybe the first time I ever saw Steph admit she made a foul

 

[nwhoopfan]

Back and forth in Seattle. Minnesota has cut the lead to 4 or 5 a few times, Storm keep pushing it back out. Up 9 at halftime. Big games from Collier and KML so far. Storm are hot from behind the 3 point arc--7-13.

 

[UConnCat]

Odyssey Sims playing like she's hungover.

 

[UConnCat]

I know Diamond is incredibly skilled and athletic, but she does not make winning plays. Part of it may be that she hasn't ever had a coach to teach her and demand it. Hopefully she can learn the mental side of the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sims was absolutely on fire in Q3. Scored Minnesota's first 18 points, didn't miss a shot. Canada came alive for Seattle in Q3 also, although she didn't match Sims' output. Seattle stretched their lead to 15, but when Howard went out with her 4th foul they cut it all the way down to 4 at the end of the quarter. Start of Q4 and Howard is back in, Seattle adding to their lead again. She's not even scoring that much but they are obviously better when she's on the floor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Combined 48 points and 18 rebounds on 15-25 shooting for Cambage and Wilson today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sims has pretty much been on her own in the 2nd half, the rest of the Lynx are M.I.A. Seattle secures a 82-74 win. 6 in double figures, all 5 starters plus KML.

I really like Clark's game. Nothing fancy, she's not demonstrative at all, just cool calm and collected. Plays great defense, grabs some boards, decent complimentary scorer.

Canada had a nice game. Led the team w/ 14 points on 6-10 shooting, 6 assists 3 steals. Too many TOs though.

 

[Orangutan]

Not breaking any news here but Candace Parker is *easily* the biggest complainer in the league.

I take it back. Cambage whines just as much and is a jerk.

 

[Orangutan]

Combined 48 points and 18 rebounds on 15-25 shooting for Cambage and Wilson today.

Dolson and Parker were getting called for breathing near the two of them. As good as they are, they don't need the help.

Stef fouls too much but I thought the first two called on her today were bad calls.

I didn't see the game so I'll take your word for it.

 

[DaBball]

Another player who has really stepped it up this year is Mercedes Russell. She could have been really, really good in college with the right coaching. She is finally starting to catch up

 

[nwhoopfan]

Agreed about Russell. Nice game for her today. She catches some tough passes and is able to smoothly go into her shooting motion. Moves well without the ball. She isn't the quickest player but she's not slow or immobile by any means.
