Sun v. Mystics - The Final

EDD is the focus of attention not for her basketball performance? Well I am just SHOCKED. SHOCKED I tell you.
 
Final thoughts before I try to sleep... AT and Courtney...
AT so tough, so driven. Inspirational performances. Only 4 min on the bench in 5 games.
Courtney so electric, so willing and able to take the big shot. Has any player's star risen more during the playoffs? uhhh.... no.
 
EDD has to the most fragile star player I've seen, always seems like she has untimely illness/injury. Hope her back is feeling better soon. Mystics need her if they're going to win this.

Almost all of Maryland’s all time greats. Who is the best Maryland women’s player ever? Toliver, Thomas, Langhorne, Coleman, or...someone else?

Thomas

Langhorne/Toliver/Coleman (you can make a case for any of them for 2nd)

Brionna Jones
SWK
Laura Harper
Shay Doron
Laurin Mincy

Not a great list compared to UConn but I'll take what we can get.

Charles has a chance to be 5th if she can lead the Terps to the Final 4 where all the above players have been. In fact Charles hasn't been to an Elite 8.
 
I am praying EDD comes back and plays at (or near) her potential. To have her legacy tainted this way where injury/illness is what everyone associates her with is unimaginably sad to me.

Ain’t gonna happen. In order for the Sun to win it all, they must win one in Washington. The Mystics hold serve at home. They only lost 3 times all season.

You were saying? ;)

Tianna Hawkins and Lynetta Kizer should get a shoutout if those others get a mention.

In the future... potential #1 pick Shakira Austin.

I thought so as well along with Alicia DeVaughn and had Lexie Brown stayed she would be up there

Natasha Cloud spent a year at Maryland.
Kiara Leslie spent two years.
Destiny Slocum spent a year.
Maryland all over the place.

A herniated disc a byproduct of a layup? Ouch? I live with severe muscle spasms and ain't going to be easy for Delle Donne to play 100% for the last 3 games.

This is Connecticut's first chance at a world championship in a pro sport.

Interesting to see how much the NBA and it's players support the W.

Thibault has been saying she has had issues for a month or so but was able to manage it with treatment so I am guessing this is an under the radar long term issue

Acupuncture and heat work well. But to leave after a layup 3 minutes into the game and need an MRI? That can't be a small issue.

I've had back spasms and they're terribly painful, I would imagine a herniated disc is much worse. :(

Just by reading, it seems that the kind of pain and discomfort depends on how close the disk is near the nerves.

Only 2 seats available in my section... they are in Row A and are listed for $550.00 each. Not sure what they'll actually sell for, but that's the highest ask I've ever seen for a Sun game. Looks like a lock to be a sellout. Can't remember the last 9,000+ game but this could already be one. Energy should be off the charts.

Those are great seats by the way, just 3 rows in front of mine. :cool:

Whats the official capacity of the place? I've always seen 10,000 as the listed. Have they reduced it in past years?

It's called a "10,000-seat arena" but for basketball it's always been around 9,400. In some configurations there are more floor seats.

Spasms associated with wear and tear might require pain management, depending on severity.

I cannot vouch for acupuncture enough. Very, very effective method of administering therpy.

I had lots of back pain. Went through a lot last year. Found out I had a herniated disc. A fall can herniate it. And over time, it gets worse. Had surgery last April for it. Sadly had surgery in July for a disc replacement. That pain was worse. And the spasms. Hopefully EDD will be okay
 
Despite this, I think both EDD and AA will play competitively. Sun better be ready for a brawl. It's the Finals.

Ugh. This feels soooo trappy. If the Sun lose the slightest bit urgency, intensity or focus in this game, they will lose. DC has tons of talent and will come at the Sun like cornered animals.
