17-14 CHI end of first

Griner totally ineffective.

42-36 CHI end of half

Copper 11 pts, 2 reb

 

[eebmg]

Dolson back after last appearing in game 1. She is playing okay ( 6pts 6Rb and 2 assists in first half) but looks way out of shape which did not help in getting 3 fouls Guess her injury kept her from meaningful conditioning.

I guess this was close for a while? Chicago pulls away 89-71.

Does anyone get the feeling that Griner just doesn't care much about basketball? 9 points/6 boards on 3-11 shooting today. She's the only 6-8 player w/ a 7 foot wing span or whatever around, I just don't get how she's not unstoppable.

I've thought the same thing. With her body she can only stop herself.

I think it's fair to say she's not been nearly as effective as she could be, but I don't think 'not caring about basketball' is necessarily a fair assessment. With everything going on in the world, it can be more mentally draining/distracting for some v. others. I know I'm not as productive in my job right now, as are so many others.

I think she was out of shape before her injury

Don’t forget she and the rest of her family also had the COVID
