Message: [QUOTE="VAUConnFan, post: 2752845, member: 501"] My first time seeing LA in person. They are very good. Offense, defense, late game, critical possession; They even looked invincible coming out for pregame warmups. Offensively, they are loaded with weapons. A veritable embarrassment of riches. And they play the entire bench. Vadeeva has skills and showed poise and skill during her short minutes. Defensively, they are very disruptive; Kept the Mystics from doing what they wanted to do. LA took their foot off the gas, had difficulty retaking control, then when the game became a possession by possession game, showed their champion caliber poise and execution. Candace Parker was, by far, the best player on the floor. None of the criticisms expressed here on The Boneyard were evident tonight. She worked hard on both ends, facilitated the offense, and made plays down the stretch. Riquna Williams looked like Vinny the Microwave tonight; Made everything she put up. I totally disagree with Shizam's assessment of Kristi Tolliver. Ms Tolliver is an incredible ballplayer. Tonight, though, LA went out of their way to disrupt her; With obvious success; But, her game requires the constant attention of opposing defenses. LA is quick enough and deep enough to throw her off her game. Minnesota, on the other hand, is too old and too slow. Elena Della Donne is rounding back into form. Too often, it seems that she is not touching the ball during critical possessions. Washington, again, showed that they are as good a team with EDD off the floor as they are with her on. [/QUOTE]
