I dont follow the WNBA, as much as others. Is Meesseeman hearing impaired?

Tamera Young all of sudden is on fire, 10 points on 5-7 shooting in 5 1/2 minutes.

Plum has 19 assists in the last 2 games.

Mystics were up as much as 15 I think, leading 89-79 w/ 5:30 left.

Yes ✊

EDD wasn't always noted for her defense was she? She's gotten quite good on that end of the floor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That should do it. Another 3 by Meesseman and a long 2 by Tolliver stretches the lead to 14 w/ 1 1/2 minutes left. Emma has 30.

 

[nwhoopfan]

103-91 final. 30 for Meesseman, Cloud w/ 18, Sanders 17, EDD 14, Tolliver/Powers 10 each.

For LV Cambage w/ 23, Plum 19, J. Young 13, T. Young 10.

Really rough game for Wilson (3-12 from the floor). McBride disappeared in the 2nd half.

Good so far. Hoping for the CT - Wash. Final

Let's go East Coast. The West coast has had enough success with the Pac12
.

Nneka (and in large part also Chiney) is such a professional that you'd never, ever hear her say or act out on it, but I've often wondered from time to time if she ever gets frustrated with the, -ahem- shall we say, mercurial nature of some of her teammates on the Sparks. All the way back to Stanford I've felt like Nneka is 100% stoic win or lose, and never loses her or goes off on folks, be they foes or (misbehaving) friends. But I have to think somewhere deep down inside nights like tonight have to make her want to scream into her Mohegan Sun hotel room pillow.

Nneka almost always plays hard. Some of her teammates don't match her energy or intensity.

 

[MilfordHusky]

80-69 thru 3Q. Meesseeman w/ 27 again. Could they have the league MVP and someone else on the team wins Finals MVP? The way Emma is playing it's very possible.

Emma is really, really good. She was the best player on the team before Elena arrived.

Emma is really, really good. She was the best player on the team before Elena arrived.

I brought this up on another thread but think it would be appropriate to repeat.
Emma Meesseman apparently did't play enough games and/or accrue enough minutes to qualify, but in 23 WNBA games this season (during which she averaged 23.6 minutes per game),, Emma shot 55.2 percent overall, 42.2 percent from 3-pt. land and 90.5 percent from the charity stripe. So the Mystics basically have two 50-40-90 players to throw at the opposition. Can stop one, but both? And if the Mystics get contributions from the returned Tolliver and/or any of their other excellent teammates, that will be tough for anyone to beat.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Emma's career numbers are a very impressive 52.1%, 39.9%, and 85.2%.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Washington leading after 1 quarter 24-23. Mystics aren't shooting the ball as well as normal but still up. Looks like EDD is going to take over this game.

For the Aces they've been pounding it inside to Wilson and Cambage. Plum hasn't shot yet but she's had some nice dishes. McBride has been fairly aggressive as well.

Washington hasn't really taken advantage of it, but LV switches a lot of picks and gets bad matchups--one of the guards down low against Meesseman or Sanders. I don't like that strategy.

Why is Tolliver wearing a brace? I thought her injury was with her wrist

I thought she had a bone bruise, like EDD did last year during the playoffs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces have surged ahead 41-33. Mystics have gone cold and do not look like the well oiled machine they usually are.

Cambage/Wilson/McBride have 12 each and Hamby has 5, that's all the scoring for LV. Plum has 5 assists though. She's been really good breaking down the defense and dishing off.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Who is this team pretending to be Washington? 24-13 advantage for LV in Q2, 47-37 halftime lead.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hamby starting Q3 instead of Jackie Young again. J. Young has not gotten a lot of minutes in the post season.

 

[nwhoopfan]

56-41 lead, TO Washington barely over 2 minutes into the 2nd half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, second time this series Cambage elbowed Meesseman and Emma got called for a foul. Thibault got T'd up just now protesting it.

 

[Reypl21]

Cambage elbows Meesseman in the head, and then Emma is called for the foul. Go figure.

Then the T for Coach T

 

[nwhoopfan]

79-62 after 3Q. Cambage w/ 20, Wilson 18, McBride 16, Hamby 10, Plum 9 and 9 assists.

EDD has 22, 11 each for Toliver and Powers. Other 4 starters for Mystics with very little impact in this game. Wilson and Meesseman have done a total flip flop from game 2.

 

[eebmg]

I just have a feeling both series will go to a 5th game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Plum cannot get a break w/ the damn refs. 2 drives in a row she got fouled w/ no call. Other players get that call, she gets no respect.

Def did not get fouled when she threw a fit to the floor
