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

[nwhoopfan]

92-59. 2nd half was a laugher.

26 for Stewie, 19 for Loyd, 15 for Canada, 10 for Clark, 5 points/7 assists for Bird.

Wilson only player in double figures for the Aces.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Overpowering performance for Seattle. A true team effort.

 

[Hayven]

Did Vegas leave the court without handshakes?!

 

[eebmg]

Canada is carving them up. 13 points now.

Man those Canadians are tough.

 

[Kaizen]

Did Vegas leave the court without handshakes?!

They are still blaming the refs?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie MVP. Unanimous.

Holly: “Sue Bird – undefeated in WNBA finals”

Sue: “Undefeated after the first round of the playoffs, actually.”
(“Whether we got to the finals or not”)

 

[ShmiCO]

Piph with the big smile. It's great seeing a vet finally get her ring.

Congrats to the players and the rest of the league on completing their season at IMG Academy

I think they went 2-1 in 2004, so that appears incorrect (unless Sue missed the loss). But Sue is 11-1 in Finals.

Edit: It's correct in winning 4 series in 4 tries. They also won 11 of the 12 Finals games.

Tuck gets a ring every time she plays with Stewie: NCAA, WNBA, FIBA World Cup.

Maybe Holly meant undefeated in finals series...??

The championship finals was a laugher. The Aces never had a chance. They had a great run, but this was not their year.

You have it backwards. Stewie gets a ring every time she plays with Tuck.

 

[nickp91]

Sue Bird should have a statue outside Climate Pledge Arena

That’s funny Don, you should do “stand up.” Haven’t you heard, Stewie is a “ring magnet,”

 

[MilfordHusky]

You have it backwards. Stewie gets a ring every time she plays with Tuck.

But Stewie won the 2018 WNBA championship without Morgan.

Tuck or KML. Lets give credit where credit is due.

Good morning. Like this quote from Sue Bird that I cut and pasted from the NY Times article on the Seattle win:
"Bird said her team’s best quality was its “chill” collective personality.

“We’re actually kind of made for a ‘Wubble,’” she said, using the nickname for the W.N.B.A.’s bubble while accepting the championship trophy.

Here's a link (I don't know the subscription police will be up and running.)

Seattle Storm Win the W.N.B.A. Championship (Published 2020)

The Storm beat the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces behind Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, Jewell Loyd and a talented roster of veterans.

Congrats to Stewie and Sue (4 titles with one team...wow!) and all the Storm.
Here's an interview Holly Rowe had with Jewell, who was asked about her relationship with Kobe Bryant. Very heartfelt.

Aces just straight up quit early in Q3! Congrats to the Storm, especially the UConn Connection.

Tuck or KML. Lets give credit where credit is due.

Well those don’t really play that much

 

[maccca3232]

A little love for ND. They were the school with most players in the WNBA Finals.

Unfortunately for them the team with 3 UConn players (and 1 ND) beat the team with 3 ND Players.

Jewell, Stewie and Mercedes celebrating atop the space needle

Would be very cool if Stewie or Sue or both may find some time to come to Storrs. A real treat for the current team.

Would you like Bird to be the next head coach at UConn?
