Seattle at the Mystics, Game 3

[Mlb0814]

15-20 total rebounds in the Storms favor. Second chance points are huge but more have to fall.

 

[BigBird]

Turnovers are so darned important in a finals game where the opponent is skilled enough to take advantage of them.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie es en fuego! 42-27

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Stewie is making her case for Finals MVP eh? Be interesting to see if Mystic try to run and gun with Storm in second half.

 

[BigBird]

42-27 @ 1:38 of the 2nd. Storm looking really really good.

 

[Kaizen]

Another 3 from Steiwe, 17 pts 6 rebs ...

 

[eebmg]

She definitely altering a lot of shots. Lots of rough play in the paint, Stewie looked like salmon swimming upstream trying to get through.

Why go through when you can go over. Stewie dynamite from outside tonight.

She is the final MVP now ...

 

[RockyMTblue2]

She is the final MVP now ...

Agreed. I was looking for a tone of understatement!

 

[Kaizen]

Howard 17 pts 7 rebs ... wow

 

[MilfordHusky]

46-30 at the half. Seattle looks really good. Stewie and Howard are on fire.

 

[EricSD]

MVP and Howard have been spectacular.

 

[Mlb0814]

46-30 Storm at the half. How did Thibault get a technical?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie and Howard have combined for 34. Washington has 30.

Complaining about the larger rim for Seattle?

Her jump shot elevation is amazing.

 

[eebmg]

Alysha Clark has become a solid player. I thought she was a weak link, but she has improved, and having Howard in the lineup helps her.

Played every minute and has 7 rebounds (3O) in first half. So important to what they do.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Howard 17 pts 7 rebs ... wow

She is quite the story this year. Serious ups. Think her shoes should be checked for springs.

 

[BigBird]

Mystics are shooting a lot of shots that are coming up short. While a long shot might be from nerves, short marksmanship usually indicates fatigue. If I heard Hughes correctly, he has already spotted this, and he wants to keep the Storm running. Smart.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Diana made first team WNBA. Tiffany Hayes too.

 

[eebmg]

Tiffany Hayes made 1st team all WNBA. Wow

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Rebecca sticks up for Sue Bird who got skunked.

 

[eebmg]

Sue Bird snubbed for 2nd team honors.

 

[eebmg]

Rebecca sticks up for Sue Bird who got skunked.

Holly said she was on her 1st team.

Shhhhh.

I can listen to Dan Hughes talk about basketball all day. He has such a high basketball IQ and is so insightful and eloquent when he speaks. Love him.

Good observation. Shots are short.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Shhhhh.

I think the word is out.

 

[MilfordHusky]

How many All-WNBA awards are there--AP writers, coaches, ESPN?

 

[eebmg]

I think the word is out.

Likey. Still, Stewie not to be outdone had some great air walking rebounds.
