September 2019 WNBA Discussions, scores, game info, pictures

It so funny how people don't think the Sun are that good. I don't know what you are looking at. Jones has had multiple 20-20 games, leading the league in rebounds and blocks . Alyssa Thomas is an unquestioned physical force. Courtney Williams is a super star in the making. Shekinna Stricklen won the 3 point contest. And Jasmine Thomas is pretty good when she needs to be, like in this last game. I guess some people will only see how good they are after they celebrate. I see it now.

Anyway, a lot of games are won on the boards. CT was 2nd in the league in rebounds and they dominated the Sparks there. The Aces were first, but they haven't the defense or offense to compete with the Sun. If they beat the Mystics, I think the Sun will make Jackie Young take a whole lot of shots. Let's see if she can hit enough shots in a 5 game series. I doubt it. By the way, the Mystics were ranked 10 of 12 on the boards this year. Horrible. The first WNBA championship in franchise history is coming to CT.

The Tony C of Sun basketball?

What is going on with Washington? This is not the same team I've been seeing most of the season. EDD is carrying the team, everybody, and I do mean everybody else looks out of sync. Maybe the Aces are playing really good defense, but I've definitely seen plenty of wide open shots missed the last 1 1/4 game.

Aces up 26-17 after Q1.

Cambage and Wilson aren't hitting shots today like the last game.

So I would guess you haven't been watching the Aces at all in the playoffs. J. Young has been playing very limited minutes compared to the regular season. Trying to force her to take shots might prove to be very difficult if she's on the bench.


edited--averaged 22.5 mpg during the regular season, dropped way down to 12.4 mpg thru 4 playoff games

Cambage and Wilson stink this game. Hamby much better than either of them so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mystics surged from 10 down to up 2 at halftime. EDD playing like an MVP and starting to get some help from her teammates.

Hamby and T. Young gave the Aces a boost off the bench. Wilson has to do something (no FG) and Cambage has to quit missing bunnies.

I will give you Wilson but Cambage is holding her own. The difference is EDD who is earning her MVP.

How many shots has she missed from point blank range? Too many. She's 4-10 but definitely should have at least 2 or 3 more FG. She is grabbing rebounds at least.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Q3 got off to a good start, best combined stretch of play by both teams. So of course we need to stop the game for a lengthy review of a possible elbow.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, here I go w/ my conspiracy theories again. Plum only has 1 assist but her teammates are missing shots every damn time she passes them the ball.

 

[eebmg]

Cambage has a pretty jump shot. She is very strong so her shot is like a minimal flick of the wrist (like an EDD foul shot).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Toliver is going off in Q3. Wilson is still a no show. That's troubling, 2 of the last 3 games she's really struggled.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Fastest 3 second call ever just saved Toliver from picking up her 4th foul.

 

[eebmg]

Aces on 8-0 run just taking the lead.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces came from 7 down to grab the lead briefly.

 

[nwhoopfan]

68-67 LV after 3Q.

It's nice that this series has actually been competitive, compared to the other one that was a joke.

 

[eebmg]

Unlike the Sparks, the Aces compete. Should be a barn-burner 4th Q

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mystics are on fire behind the arc in Q4.

edit--4-5 I think

up 81-74

 

[nwhoopfan]

Meesseeman struggled for about a game and a half, but she's going nuts in the 4th quarter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think there were 5 empty possessions in a row, Meesseman finally hit a bucket. 91-88 Mystics w/ about 30 seconds left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

91-90 15.9 seconds left, Mystics inbounding. Both teams in the bonus now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hamby's 3 rattled out. So close. 93-90 Mystics shooting FTs 2.7 seconds left. Well it was an entertaining series anyway.

I'll guarantee Washington isn't going to lay down and die and let the Sun do whatever they want the way LA did.

 

[nwhoopfan]

25 for EDD, 22 for Meesseman and 20 for Toliver.

25 for Cambage, 18 for Hamby and 17 for Plum.

 

[Orangutan]

Period.

 

[Orangutan]

Hamby's 3 rattled out. So close.

She was too close to the hoop.

30+ feet is her sweet spot for clutch 4th quarter shots.

 

[DaBball]

Wilson deciding to be a no-show tonight may have cost them the series. She is way, way too good for 4 points and 6 rebounds in an elimination game.
