I see your GOAT and raise you a

Sue just donned the mask.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Turner wasted a great pass from D.

Sue just donned the mask.

Has she put her cape on yet?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Does anyone remember Yvonne Turner at Nebraska? It has taken 8 years, but she's a fine player.

 

[BigBird]

Shot selection? Wow.

 

[baggerbob]

Phoenix will win, even early this is the 4th straight game Loyd has failed to show up. She hasn't played like an all star this year, outside of the 5 games at the beginning of the year, she has been bad.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Suzie Cool!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Allowing a lot of contact with DT; double standard IMO.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I want Seattle to win, but that was over the back on Howard.

 

[MilfordHusky]

46-41 Phoenix at the half.

The Mercury got the lead to 10+, and Seattle cut it to 2. Close, intense game.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Taurasi hammered to floor and foul on her. Wretched reffing.

 

[BigBird]

Storm down 9 but hustling. Good energy. But a question: Has KLM played her way onto the waver list? At times she looks totally outclassed by every other player on either team.

Will not go that far but Whitcomb seems to be outplaying and outshooting KLM in her 3pt specialty over the last part of the regular season and playoffs.

True. I really like KLM, but I confess to worries based on the last several times I’ve seen her play. In college, she really wasn’t as slow as some may have thought, compared to the opposition. But the pro game is much faster, and now the quickness discrepancy is pretty apparent.

DT getting hosed with these calls

 

[BostonCanuck]

The refs have seemingly targeted Taurasi to try to get her out of the game. It's almost as bad as the semi-finals in Columbus. The fans deserve better.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Phoenix leads by 4 after 3Q. Their leading scorer is ... Yvonne Turner.

Seattle has never led. Stewie has 21 and 6. They need to play their A game over the last 10 minutes.

 

[bballnut90]

Phoenix manages to goes on a little run with DT out. If they can keep this crew on for a couple more minutes and maintain, they’ll get DT back with 7-8 minutes left and 2 fouls to spare. Big advantage Phoenix right now, they’ve been the better team in tight moments and Griner is playing fantastic on both ends tonight.

 

[bballnut90]

Whitcomb is fantastic off the bench...surprised we haven’t seen more of her this series. Tie game.

Really? The semi-final in Colombus wasn't bad at all. I will say that DT's 3rd and 4th fouls were bogus.

 

[eebmg]

Stewie playing every second. That may backfire.

Bonner getting hot at the right moment. Get Sue back in.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Seattle took their first lead on a 3-pointer by Canada. Then, Bonner and Taurasi went on a 7-0 run. Mercury up by 4 at 6:41.
