Maya vs. Dee Part III

[easttexastrash]

End of the quarter and what does Phoenix do? Miss two three point shots instead of getting to the basket.

 

[sarals24]

Griner came flying in for a one-handed putback. Pretty freaking impressive.

 

[VAMike23]

Too much BG and not enough efficiency on the offensive end for Minny. Don't need Brunson shooting a lot of 17 footers, and more drives to the hoop needed.

 

[VAMike23]

Monica Wright missing the wide open Brunson underneath. That's what I'm talking about.

 

[VAMike23]

Thank you Lindsay !!!

Thanks. Bonner shooting 2 on a drive to the basket. Makes both. Teams now trading baskets.

Erin Phillips fouls Maya, shooting 2.
Score is 32 - 25

 

[sarals24]

I am not as impressed with Wright this year. Thought she was better last year. She settles for too many bad shots.

 

[sarals24]

As I say that, she hits a three.

On a random note, I just looked up Misty Bass to see what year she graduated, and found out she is the daughter of Chubby Checker. Who knew?

 

[RadyLady]

Minny catching up. Turnover and a 3 for Wright, and game is 32 - 28..

Bonner in the paint for two and an an' 1

She took it to the rim a greater % of the time last year. Also better on the 3 IIRC

I knew. We played against her and that tidbit was fodder each time. I like Mistie

 

[sarals24]

Wright cherry picks and hits an and-one...foul on Taylor.

 

[VAMike23]

I thought Wright walked but she didn't. Great leak out !!

Hard to believe they've cut it to 1.

 

[RadyLady]

LONG 3 from Whelan, she has 10 points...
miss on the other end, and an aggressive Monica Wright scores despite the erfforts of Penny Taylor for an an' 1.

Lead is now only 1
6:20 left to play. score is 35 - 34.
Time out on the floor

 

[easttexastrash]

Phoenix cannot afford to have BG and DT on the bench. The Phoenix subs offer very little.

 

[sarals24]

Wright needs to do more of that and less 17 foot jump shots.

I thought she walked, also.

I find this comment interesting. The Lynx are a great team, and I expect this to be a hard fought, close game.

Minny takes advantage. We need to draw more cheap fouls from BG and send her back to the bench. Easier said than done

 

[VAMike23]

I thought she walked, also.

But replay showed no

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go...

 

[j66kicker]

Darn!! I wish we had gotten to see BG lay out McCarville.

It was classic - sitting in row 1, it was right in front of us. No flop, it was real

 

[sarals24]

When did Dee start wearing her socks low? Maybe she's been doing that and I haven't noticed. I like the high socks.

 

[RadyLady]

Griner fouled by Augustus, will be shooting two. makes the both. She has 10 points

 

[sarals24]

You know, I like Griner a lot, but I don't like when she does that stuff. She doesn't need to. Remember when she pulled Dolson down while they were running upcourt?
