When Seattle has an on-court huddle, Sue talks and everyone listens as if their life depends on it. She is the new E.F. Hutton.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Seattle moves the ball very well. Jordin Canada has 10 off the bench, and Seattle leads by 11.

 

[Kaizen]

Canada is 4-4 and 2-2 3 pts , total 10 pts... wow

 

[MilfordHusky]

27-14 in Q2. Seattle passing the ball very effectively.

Bill Russell watching the game. G.O.A.T. checking out the G.O.A.T.

 

[MilfordHusky]

E.F. Hutton has 13 points on 5-6 shooting plus 3 assists.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The MVP has 23. Any team with Sue and Breanna is really good.

Kaleena just came off a screen, got a pass from Canada, and swished a mid-range jumper. Sweet!

67-51 after 3Q. Phoenix is 0-13 from the arc. Dee and January are 0-8. I look for them to get untracked at least a little in the last 10 minutes.

 

[BostonCanuck]

Looks increasingly like nothing is going to stop Seattle this season. I'm happy for Sue, she sure deserves another championship (or two?) to cap of her most remarkable career.

I feel for the GOAT, though. She's trapped on a team that, in my opinion, just isn't going to be a contender during her remaining time as an active player, no matter how well Diana plays. That has to be frustrating for her.

Rebecca: "Seattle is really, really good." Geno-speak.

I don't know about Phoenix. Bonner and Griner are really good.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Phoenix made a huge run and cut the deficit to 4. Howard's FTs just made it a 6-point game. But Phoenix has Dee, who just hit from 25'.

 

[MilfordHusky]

GOAT just cut it to 3. I knew it was coming.

Half of her 22 points came in the last quarter.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue missed from 25', and Phoenix may have the ball with 7 seconds left. I'm expecting OT.

 

[MilfordHusky]

GOAT from the corner ties the game. Of course!

Closely guarded, falling out of bounds.

 

[bballnut90]

Good lord. DT coming through when it matters most...that was a heck of a shot.

 

[DaBball]

that shot was unreal. as is the fact that she has hit 3 straight 3s

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue missed from 25', and Phoenix may have the ball with 7 seconds left. I'm expecting OT.

Indeed, it's going to OT. Phoenix outscored Seattle by 11 in the last 1:46.

 

[MilfordHusky]

that shot was unreal. as is the fact that she has hit 3 straight 3s

That's why she's the GOAT.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Griner fouls out on a dumb foul. And utters an expletive.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Dee from the distant suburbs.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Camille Little is playing STRONG defense for Phoenix.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Dee has now missed 3 straight midrange jumpers. 1-point game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Argh! Sue missed a scoop layup. It would have given Seattle a 3-point lead.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Seattle up 1. Jewell shooting FTs. Made 1 of 2.
