The Sun by the end of the game are going to regret the last few minutes. They lead 14-10, but should be up by more then 10 points. They've had so many empty possessions including missed Free Throws.

 

[Kaizen]

Very low scores game ..

 

[ShmiCO]

14-10 Sun for the first quarter. Aces shooting 25%, Sun 37%.

 

[Shades]

Vegas with empty possessions as well.

Win or lose. Vegas is going to feel CT. Just choking defense so far.

 

[Kaizen]

Jasmine has 22 of the Sun 36 pts ....LOL

Jasmine has 22 of the Sun 36 pts ....LOL

Desperately needed since Bonner is 0-8 and Jones on the Bench with fouls

Alyssa Thomas on 40' watch

 

[Wbbfan1]

Sun have a nice 13 point lead at the half. However, lead should have been 20+ points with how Las Vegas played and shot the ball.

 

[Kaizen]

Jasmine has 29 pts ... 2 Thomas combine for 39 pts of the 51 pts

I am amazed watching how poor the overall quality of play is: terrible decision making, bad passes, out of control mindless driving to the basket. Not a good advertisement for women’s Professional basketball!

 

[nwhoopfan]

How in the world did Connecticut have a losing record this season? Who woulda thunk the hapless Sky actually played the Sun tougher than either the Sparks or Aces?

Inconclusive tests on COVID19 have postponed the Lynx - Storm game

 

[MSGRET]

I see that Laimbeer has taught his players how to play the game the way he did, dirty. They are getting away with pushing off on the defensive end too many times.

Inconclusive tests on COVID19 have postponed the Lynx - Storm game

When have they ever postponed a game because of this? It must be a big-time player.

What does the level of the player matter? I think they actually said multiple players and have put them in quarantine and additional tests for everyone were done. Hopefully false positives

 

[MSGRET]

Sun 87 - Vegas 62, that's a good way to start.

Inconclusive tests on COVID19 have postponed the Lynx - Storm game

Inconclusive? What does this actually mean?

 

[bballnut90]

That was a beat down. Jasmine Thomas just tore up Vegas. Similar to last year's semis when she dominated vs LA in gm 3. Vegas isn't going to win anything if they get nothing from Angel and McBride. I think it'll be a good series.

Inconclusive? What does this actually mean?

The official language

The release from the league, which came out a half-hour before the 2 p.m. starting time, read: “After receiving inconclusive COVID-19 test results today for players with the Seattle Storm, the WNBA announced that Game 1 of the WNBA semifinals between the Seattle Storm and the Minnesota Lynx has been postponed out of an abundance of caution.’’

The league said the players involved have undergone additional testing and are in isolation. A new Game 1 date has not yet been set.

 

[MSGRET]

Inconclusive? What does this actually mean?

That the test is not conclusive, it needs to have most likely either a different type of swab test or a blood test for a conclusive result. I had a swab test done by the VA before I was to be operated on, it was inconclusive, they couldn't say yes or no on me having Covid-19. So they did a blood test and the results came back negative for it. I was told that about 3 to 5 percent of tests come back inconclusive when they took my blood.

When have they ever postponed a game because of this? It must be a big-time player.

It’s a pandemic that doesn’t show up right away the league trying to be safe for both teams
