Game Day Sun vs Mystics

[psconn]

Although this is a Sun home game, the Mystics have had 6 days to prepare and EDD should play, unlike the last meeting. This is a big game... protect the home court, maintain the lead in the season series, get a win going into a brutal back-to-back in just two days... Storm on the 15th, Mercury on the 16th. Absolutely crazy travel schedule for those games. If the Sun could even get one of those, I'd be elated. Makes the need to win this one all the greater.

Additional notes on the schedule... 9 of the next 10 games are on the road. June 1st through July 7th the Sun will have played 13 of 16 games on the road. The first week of July, the Sun play 4 away games in 7 days including the likes of Seattle, LA, and Phoenix. After that, the schedule turns around and the Sun finish the season with 11 of 15 at home. I'm sure other teams have similar schedule nightmares. I expect the Sun will accumulate some losses during this period and likely will slip out of first place. BUT above all, I hope that the Sun can stay healthy during this crazy grind and can mentally keep confident and focused on the end game.

If they play with energy, CT should take them. If they don't, this could get ugly.

This season has been somewhat unpredictable.

Epic beat-down so far by Washington. Incredible half by Toliver and DelleDonne! Mystics have dropped 57 points, have a 30 point lead, and there is still 2:30 left in the half!

Toodles. Will hop over to the Liberty / Aces on MSG+

What a comeback! Very exciting. Just fell a little short.

 

[Roger G]

It's funny that the Aces/Liberty game ended up being the blowout.

 

[EricLA]

What a comeback by the Sun, but great win in holding on by Washington!

AT's shoulder looked bad. Potential season-changer if it requires intervention or stays chronic.

She was on the bench at the end. She looked OK. Here's hoping!

 

[Shades]

Will she have that tape on both shoulders now?

She was on the bench but the arm was toast. She couldn't really use it at all. We'll see what happens tonight.
