Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm - 10/06/20

[eebmg]

Clark had forever to shoot that 3. Aces just not sharp

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, Lindsay Allen is absolutely horrid. Turnover and foul machine.

edit--4 TOs and 2 fouls in 3 minutes!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wilson and Stewie scored 25 points in Q1 and...zero in Q2. Strange turn of events. Stewie of course has been on the bench most of the quarter.

Seattle stretching the lead, 42-31 just before halftime.

 

[ShmiCO]

Bill needs to energize his team again. Time for the headband!

 

[eebmg]

Glad the Storm are on top but I am actually feeling bad for Aja. No support at all

 

[Shades]

Lindsey Allen keeps making one mistake after another and Laimbeer just keeps her out there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ooh, Wilson just picked up her 3rd foul!

 

[nwhoopfan]

43-34 at the half. Stewie w/ 10, Loyd w/ 10.

Wilson w/ 14.


Seattle outscored Vegas by 6 after Stewie was forced to the bench.

 

[nwhoopfan]

11 TOs for Aces, 5 for Storm. Probably the biggest stat in the game so far.

Lindsey Allen keeps making one mistake after another and Laimbeer just keeps her out there.

I seem to recall she was reasonably solid in NY when Lambeer was there. Strange she has taken such a down turn.

 

[Kaizen]

storm benches 14 pts, Aces 2 pts, that is the difference

 

[nwhoopfan]

Getting close to a knockout punch.

 

[bballnut90]

Man Vegas point guards have been downright awful so far. DRob barely hitting rim on wide open 15 footers and Allen with all the TOs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

53-36. Stick a fork in the Aces.

edit--make it a 19 point lead, 12-2 explosion to start Q3.

 

[Kaizen]

McCoughtry 4 fouls 5 pts ...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird's production down a bit this game, can't see any way Stewie isn't gonna get Finals MVP.

Don't jinx it!

Should be Bird IMO. All the great looks are being set up by Sue.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow Loyd really threaded the needle on that pass to Stewie!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Should be Bird IMO. All the great looks are being set up by Sue.

They had 33 assists in game 2, Bird accounting for 10 of them. Whole team really shares the ball well. Stewie has been too good to not get the award.

 

[bballnut90]

Seattle just looks head and shoulders better. All of their starters are All-WNBA caliber players when playing well aside from Clark, who is arguably the best defender in the league. Defensively all of Stewart, Canada, Howard and Clark are potential DPOY candidates too. Just so good.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McCoughtry 0-11 in Finals games, about to be 0-12. Wow, that's a dubious record!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces have quit. 72-46. 29-12 in Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

75-48 thru Q3. OUCH. Lynx definitely put up a better fight against the Storm than the Aces.

 

[Blue Huskie]

OK, nevermind the jinx. It would take a collapse / comeback of truly epic proportions at this point.
