Connecticut Sun vs Las Vegas Aces - 9/29/20

[nwhoopfan]

Yeah McCoughtry really woke up in Q2. Unfortunately that coincided w/ Wilson disappearing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A. Thomas has been called for 2 offensive fouls in 1 game? I can't believe it!

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't know if it's my device, but the streaming has been awful. Constant temporary freezes and the picture constantly goes out of focus. So annoying.

Did I hear correct, and see on the scroll - league defensive player of the year, Parker, did not make either 1st or 2nd team all defensive team? I know different people select (coaches v media), but something seems amiss. Hope the Sun can keep the lead after 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

The 2 teams combined for about 30 turnovers in Q3. Okay, maybe not quite that many, but close.


54-53 Sun heading into Q4. This game is ugly.

You heard correct.

Wilson has the worst luck with those rims I have ever seen.

Wilson has the worst luck with those rims I have ever seen.

Misses a lot of chippies but gets to the line at will. She's been working her butt off in the 4th. She wants the ball every possession. Love seeing that from a post player.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Next bucket wins? I think both teams are exhausted, probably about 8 straight missed FGA combined. Q4 if anything has been even uglier than Q3. It's a heavyweight fight, but it's not a thing of beauty.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Have the Aces even hit a shot this quarter? Seems like every single one of their points has been FTs by Wilson.

Ugly ugly 4th quarter. Both teams look gassed. Free throws have been the difference maker.

 

[Blueballer]

22 FT's to 9? That should never happen.

 

[eebmg]

Maybe the Lynx should be invited back to the bubble for the finals.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Angel hasn't hit anything since about midway thru Q3. Not a single clutch bucket by either team for an entire quarter, is that possible?

 

[nwhoopfan]

22 FT's to 9? That should never happen.

Making up for the rest of the series.

 

[Blueballer]

Game was going well until the whistle started blowing every 10 seconds.

 

[Geew1992]

Am I the only one not impressed with Jackie young?

 

[bballnut90]

Absolutely awful last few possessions for Connecticut.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces pretty fortunate to come out of this series. Honestly though it would've been a huge embarrassment for the league to have a team w/ a losing regular season record make it to the Finals.

 

[eebmg]

Happy for Wilson that she finished it up. Rock solid on her FT's

Stewie vs Wilson will be awesome

She was a no show this series. Hopefully she continues that against Seattle.

That's what happens when you attack the basket instead if settling for 3s.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Happy for Wilson that she finished it up. Rock solid on her FT's

Stewie vs Wilson will be awesome

Howard vs. Swords in the undercard?

Nah not embarrassing at all. Connecticut was really good by the time playoffs started. And Vegas was without Hamby the last couple of games.

 

[Bigboote]

Sun had 30 points in the first quarter, 33 in the final three quarters. They really did seem to run out of gas.
