[nwhoopfan]

No Bird or Stewie, Seattle back to 2019 starting lineup. Storm up 22-14 after Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dang, Seattle is up 20. I need somebody to tell me again how bad the Storm are w/ Canada playing PG.

 

[Shades]

Diggins and PHX in general have picked an odd game not to show up.

 

[nwhoopfan]

45-19 approaching halftime. What in the world is going on?

 

[nwhoopfan]

23-5 blitz in Q2. Canada leading everybody w/ 11 points.

 

[nwhoopfan]

50-26 at the half. Seattle shooting 54.5%, Phoenix 19.4% (and 14.3% behind the arc). If it wasn't for 12-13 FT shooting, the Merc would almost be getting shut out. Only 6 made FG in a half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh...somehow it's gotten even worse for the Merc. 12-0 run by Seattle to start Q3. Somebody waive the white flag!

 

[MilfordHusky]

As noted, Sue is out and Stewie is out.

Diana hasn't played much. Skylar is sitting now.

This is a huge butt-kicking. 62-26.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Phoenix has 2 kinds of shots: (1) airballs and (2) those that bounce off the rim. Shooting 15.8%. They haven't scored in over 5 minutes.

Man, we were duped into thinking that the Storm is better with Sue and Stewie.

Skylar is -32 in 17 minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How much to Minnesota pay Phoenix to take a dive in this game? I'm sure they're worn out from the OT game a couple days ago, but you'd think they'd have a little motivation to try to secure the #4 spot in the playoffs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Seattle decided not to bother playing the 4th quarter so Phoenix could make the score look a little better apparently.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, if Langhorne and Tuck have played a combined 22 minutes, you know this game was not competitive (w/ 5 minutes left still).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Both benches playing a ton of minutes, but since Phoenix has only 8 available, a couple starters still had to be on the floor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

83-60 final. Walker-Kimbrough had a game high 24, nobody else from Phoenix did anything. Seattle starters all between 9-13 pts. and Magbegor and Langhorne both in double figures off the bench.

 

[Byukiok808]

Nice to see Langhorne get some minutes and play well. Morgan really stunk it up though 5 fouls, 2 turnovers, and no points, rebounds, or assists.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Here's a dubious stat line--Tuck played 15 minutes, no points/assists/rebounds, 0-2 from the floor, 2 TOs and 5 personal fouls. Does Connecticut want to trade her for KML?

 

[Blue Huskie]

Weird game. Neither team bothered pulling out all the stops to win. Once Phoenix got in a hole early DT just sat. And the other starters minutes were cut way back too.

 

[Byukiok808]

I wonder if this might be Morgan’s last year in the WNBA? She was injured earlier this year so maybe one more year if she can get fully healthy again?

 

[eebmg]

So Stewie was holding the Storm back

 

[eebmg]

So Lynx back into the 4th slot.

 

[donalddoowop]

So Stewie was holding the Storm back

I have been trying to tell people that.
