Maya vs. Dee Part III

[RadyLady]

Lead is back up to 5 and now back down to 3 and back up to 5 again on a Diana drive to the basket

 

[RadyLady]

Moore for 333333333333

Can't stop that pick and roll with Dee and Griner. Dee is so good at reading that and going to the basket.

 

[RadyLady]

Great bullet pass to D from Taylor for 2 and Diana gets fouled by Whelan..Dee misses the shot?

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

Comments are not mutually exclusive

 

[RadyLady]

Score is 43 - 38 3:40 to go

 

[easttexastrash]

DT kills me with those quick shots.

 

[RadyLady]

WOW - Seimone with some dance moves to score that 2 over Griner

Offensive foul on the other end, Minny has the ball.

 

[j66kicker]

Griner throwing down in warmups

 

[RadyLady]

Moore throws the ball away, and a strange play on the other end resulting in a turnover, time out

2:32 to go, 43 - 40 Phoenix.

Boy -- Maya has gotten picked and had some passes snagged tonight. Gotta tighten up. Have to be really efficient against this Merc team!

 

[sarals24]

Augustus with the circus shot over Griner...

 

[RadyLady]

j66 - you are there? Cool!

 

[easttexastrash]

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?

Have you never watched McCarville lay people out. She got what she likes to give.

And, no, I don't recall that.

 

[RadyLady]

Dee shooting 2 , score 45 - 40 under 2 to go

 

[RadyLady]

Dee in to Griner in the paint for 2 and an an' 1...

 

[easttexastrash]

Phoenix just stands and watches the ball.

 

[RadyLady]

Penny guarding Maya hard (Dee is on Lyndsey)...end result is a foul on Penny, I think that it is her 2nd?

 

[RadyLady]

Phoenix just stands and watches the ball.

That happens a lot....Often, Griner gets pulled out of the paint and out of position which is why she doesn't get the rebounds...

Dee shoots and makes a 2 on a nifty crossover, we have a time out with 21.5 left in the half, and the score is 50- 40 Phoenix.

 

[VAMike23]

Gotta get a good play-call here to close the half. Keep it in single digits.

Have you never watched McCarville lay people out. She got what she likes to give.

And, no, I don't recall that.

I'm not saying other players don't do it too. Two seasons ago at Gampel, UConn vs Baylor, Griner literally tugged Dolson down as they were running upcourt after a rebound. Dolson landed really hard because she didn't have time to break her fall. It was completely unnecessary.

And before you get all upset, I really like Griner. And I know she gets beat up too. It was just an observation. I don't like when Dee gets technicals for being stupid and mouthy.

 

[RadyLady]

Lyndsey drives to the basket on an OPEN HIGHWAY and scores two, Bonner's prayer is not answered on the other end, at the end of the half the score is 50 - 42 Phoenix

 

[VAMike23]

That happens a lot....Often, Griner gets pulled out of the paint and out of position which is why she doesn't get the rebounds...

Her "silent" stat, for which she trades away some rebounds, is shots altered / intimidated

 

[easttexastrash]

Dupree just watched Whalen drive to the basket. If nothing else go knock her to the ground and make her feel it. This is playoff basketball, not a layup drill.

 

[VAMike23]

Great play call to end the half!!! God that was just a sweet play. Maya with a linebacker screen and I think SA set the other one, with Whay on the curl.

I think I could have scored on that one
