So fun watching the Storm -- Stewie, Sue and now Katie Lou!

Magbegor hasn't played in the 2nd half. Did I miss something about an injury?
 
What is Seattle doing? Several shot clock violations and a couple other terrible shots just before the clock expired. 5 point lead is gone, tied up, Dallas ball w/ about 45 seconds left.

edit--Dallas up 2; Seattle has not played well down the stretch.

Dupree needs to sit, she brings absoululy nothing to the team. Not a good defender, rebounder, passer, or scorer. She isn't going to improve at her age, so sit her and play Russell, and Ezi.
The team needs to get better, as long as Dupree is taking valuable minutes Seattle Will struggle. Admit you made a mistake in bringing her in and work to get better.
 
Loyd w/ a big 3 and then Canada w/ a floater sends it to OT.

I wasn't thrilled w/ that move either, and I'm not really a fan of keeping Prince on the roster.

Dupree does have 8 pts/8 rebounds today. Russell 6 boards but no buckets. Something must be up w/ Ezi. She played 6 minutes in the first half, did absolutely nothing, hasn't been seen in the 2nd half.
 
OT has been great, just trading buckets. Big shot after big shot.

Storm up 1 and Arike just got called for an offensive foul!
 
Breanna and Jewell combine for 61 pts of the 100. Good win by Storm.

100-97 final Storm win. Canada got the bucket that forced OT, drew a big foul on Arike late, hit a pair of FTs to extend the lead to 3, and then defended the shooter twice in the closing seconds that didn't go in for Dallas for the tie. 14 pts/5 assists, she was big in this game.

Stewie w/ 36, looks like an MVP. Loyd w/ another great game, 25 pts.
 
This season slightly reminds me of Stewart’s rookie season. The storm are so reliant on her to win games. Only difference is that Jewel is playing at an MVP level as well. Stewart will likely be a front runner for mvp since the storm need her to produce big every night. The big question is how she will hold up playing huge minutes all season long. She is such a fun player to watch. I won’t be surprised to see her win a few more mvp trophies during her career. One of the all time greats already.

This pretty much sums it up. Game pretty much turned into Arike and Marina vs. Jewell and Stewie and Dallas had no answer for Stewie.

That's a lot of former ND players shining in this game. Stewie was awesome, but the other UConn alums were fairly quiet. :rolleyes:
 
Did Collier get injured? Only 8 minutes and 1 foul?

Hope KLS can change that and share some Stewie's work.

She's looked promising so far. Obviously not available today so that doesn't count against her.

The starting PGs, Bird and Jefferson, weren't particularly productive today, Jefferson in particular. Bird hasn't gone the way of Whalen late in her career yet, but it's kinda looking like she's alternating good games with not so good games this year.

Bird looked great in 2018, and was really solid last year in the bubble. She does seem to be trading games and a bit less effective this year. But her ability to pass and shoot will keep her relevant until she retires. If the storm are somehow able to win a championship, I’d like to see Bird retire on top, fresh off a gold medal as well.

Since they go hand in hand, I feel the same about Taurasi. She can knock down shots and score so she still seems relevant. But her game has gone a bit downhill as well. I think two seasons is the max either one will continue to play. Trying to enjoy every moment we have left watching them.
 
I am becoming concerned about Seattle. Past Russell and Canada their bench is not looking particularly strong. It may just be a work in progress as they have only 5 or 6 players left on the roster from last year. Talbot showed some initial promise but she seems to have regressed in the last couple of games.

Hopefully when Katie Lou & Prince come back, they continue to play well. They add another few players to the rotation.

Talbot is something of a training camp/early season warrior. She comes in looking great and I've heard "wows!" in the past, then the performances and subsequent minutes diminish. I thought Kitija Laksa hag a good shot at that wing/back-up KLS slot.

Burke, Herbert Harrigan and Williams don't seem to be getting much PT, either. So, the point of draining your short rotation has some merit.
