Game thread: Phoenix vs Chicago game 1

[Zorro]

D for 2, 21-12

 

[sarals24]

Dupree with the nice putback, Phoenix on a roll. Chicago can't guard Griner. Or Dee. Or Dupree.

 

[Zorro]

BG scores, then DT, 31-15 at 4.35

 

[Zorro]

Dupree scores again on pass from DT. 33-15

 

[Zorro]

Jump ball. BG against Buckets. Chicago gets the tip!

 

[Zorro]

33-20 a 2:51/ EDD looks knackered.

 

[Zorro]

DT3/36-20

 

[Zorro]

And Dupree for 2.

 

[Zorro]

ph misses on a break, but Phillips (?) puts it back. 40-20

 

[Zorro]

Diana does some stuff only she can do, culminating in a BG layup. 42-20 at the half. dt with 12 points and 5 assists. Dupree has 18, BG wih 8 points and 6 blocks.

 

[UConnCat]

I don't know that I've seen Diana play better than she is playing now. Truly the best player in the world.

With Candace and Catch not at the Worlds, what do we think are the chances that EDD will make it 9and not withdraw because of injuries...)?

 

[ThisJustIn]

Hey, Cat - did you see John's email about dinner before basketball in Turkey?

 

[Wbbfan1]

Can't see EDD trying out for the Sr Team this year. She would make the team, but probably be a role player because of her health.

 

[Zorro]

Sky looks totally bumfuzzled.

 

[geneticrex]

No offense to our Duke friends, but this resembles a UCONN/Duke affair.

 

[Zorro]

DT3, then Dupree for two, then Bonner with old-fashioued 2+1. 52-24.

 

[Zorro]

52-26 at 3;35 3q

 

[RockyMTblue2]

DT not on floor and they don't look the same. Still, they do resemble a UC Steamroller on offense.

 

[alexrgct]

Obviously EDD should have stuck with tenure at uconn. This game proves it.

Also obviously, this is sarcasm. Or is it?

 

[Zorro]

BG hits lovly 10 ft turaround. 56-30

 

[Zorro]

BG with dumb foul with 2 seconds to go. Sky makes 2 feebies. 56-34 after 3.

 

[sarals24]

Every time I see Griner play I am more shocked that Baylor won one NC with her. And I'm not even going to mention that they also had Sims.

 

[pap49cba]

This is like watching a UConn wbb game.

 

[Zorro]

DT for 2, buckets for 3, then PT with a putback. 62=36 at 9 to play.
