With Sue not healthy, Seattle is not the same team. Las Vegas, Minnesota, Chicago, and Los Angeles are better.

 

[Shades]

There’s still time to break the tie on this poll.

 

[Shades]

Stewart with the early foul. Now she’ll have to back off on defense a bit.

 

[Shades]

14-9 Storm at the media break

Stewart 7 pts, 4 reb

McCoughtry 7 pts, 5 reb

 

[eebmg]

Aces take 19-18 lead after 1Q when Derica Hamby steals the inbound pass and lays it in at the buzzer. Terrible play by Natasha

 

[Shades]

Quarter ends on a Hamby steal under the Vegas bucket with a second left and putback.

19-18 Aces end of first.

 

[Shades]

DRob is playing hard in this game.

Aces looking like the best defensive team.

 

[Kaizen]

Except Stewie Storm has no defense at all ...

 

[eebmg]

Bleech. Topsy turvy universe.

 

[Shades]

45-29 LVA end of half

Wilson 11 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast, 1 blk

Stewart 15 pts, 9 reb, 1 stl


Howard with 3 fouls in the first half.
Magbegor with 2 fouls in the first half.
Stewart with 2 fouls in the first half and she kept playing the rest of the first half.

That’s what I don’t get. Laimbeer knows SEA is nothing without Stewart. Why not go after her for that third foul?

McCoughtry had 9 pts, 9 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl in only 12 min. Just think if Laimbeer would take her off of minutes limit.

 

[Shades]

69-52 LVA end of third

 

[Shades]

75-57 LVA at the last media break

 

[Shades]

Whitcomb went down clutching her knee.

Whitcomb went down clutching her knee.

Looks like she’s okay.

Vegas playing not to lose.

82-74 LVA final

Wilson 23 pts, 14 reb, 2 ast, 2 blk

Stewart 29 pts, 18 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk

 

[eebmg]

Brutal shooting game by Jewell after her career high. Very disappointing since I thought she got her consistency issues under control.

If the rebounding does not improve, Storm will be headed for tough seas.

 

[eebmg]

By the way, funny (weird) aside with Kennedy Burke claiming that Seattle disrespected IND since Sue 'decided' to sit out. I think she let her career game go to her head. They play each other next game (Tuesday)

 

[Shades]

It does look bad, but Bird has been taking a lot of games off probably to save herself for the playoffs. Some would argue that Seattle is better without Bird. They don’t exactly lack depth.

Seattle's lead in the standings disappeared quickly. Bench not productive again. Definitely not firing on all cylinders. Most of the season Howard was off, but everybody else was playing well. Howard has finally gotten going, but now various other players are off and on.

Must have been the home court advantage for the Aces. Rematch on Thursday.

Bird responded (thought it was funny) on the half time interview with Holly that she never considered the opposite team and the decision is based solely on her own physical condition and well being

Sue is the floor leader, she can shoot, and gets people the ball when they need it. Seattle didn't forget how to shoot, but not getting the ball on time in the right place is what makes a great point guard

Canada is averaging more assists/game than Bird. Maybe Sue being constantly in and out of the lineup is a bit of a disruption?

 

[baggerbob]

Would love to see Seattle make a trade to get a higher pick in the draft. Then pick Tiana Mangakahia, a good shooter and great passer. She is a bit older but should have a good 6 or 7 seasons in the WNBA.
