The Run Up To Game 2

[Kaizen]

She should be. Loyd is giving them nothing. Whitcomb scored 5 quick points in a brief stint.

5 pts in 3 mins ...she is good

 

[nwhoopfan]

turnover story is completely flip flopped from game 1
Seattle 8
Washington 1

I think Seattle was shooting 56% from the floor after Q1, down to 39% at the half. Q2 was a disaster.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd scored only 1 pts. 1 FT ...lol

in 17 minutes, and shooting 25% from the FT line

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd hits her first shot to start Q3, that's a good sign.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well Loyd is certainly aggressive to start this quarter. Hit a jumper, missed a 3, then drove and drew a foul. She's gotta hit her FTs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd hit both FTs, then drove for another layup. 6 quick points in Q3. Tied at 42.

 

[Kaizen]

Now Loyd is a beast ...cheer

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Well this got fun again!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark drilled a 3 from the corner, Seattle back on top. Mystics take a TO.

 

[Mlb0814]

Well I take back my other comment; Jewel Lloyd has woken up! Nice start to the second half.

 

[Mlb0814]

Did everybody catch Sue's "granny" sneakers? That's kinda funny.

Did you see Breanna’s sneakers? They have Bird and Jackson’s names on the as well as “2010 Chanps”.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Howard has 10 rebounds already

 

[nwhoopfan]

I missed it, that's cool.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Toliver ... can't stand her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird's shot is off today

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sorry y'all, but Bird is stinking up the floor. Can't hit anything from the floor and has forced some bad passes. Some poor defense at times too.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Washington back on top 50-48, Seattle momentum from early in Q3 is gone.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Trading buckets. Tied at 54.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Atkins is shooting poorly today (2-11) but getting plenty of trips to the FT line.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Howard w/ an O board and put back off a terrible hail mary shot from Canada. 61-58 Washington at the end of Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Delle Donne leading all scorers w/ 17. Tolliver and Atkins both have 11.

Stewie leading the Storm w/ 16, Loyd has 11 (10 in Q3) and Clark and Howard both have 8.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie 3 puts Seattle back on top 63-61

 

[eebmg]

Stewie must lead them.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Game is frenetic and kinda sloppy at the moment. Stewie long pass down court to Whitcomb for a layup, Storm up by 4.

Bird picked up her 3rd foul and has been sitting for quite a while. Currently they've got momentum going without her.

 

[Kaizen]

Big come back from SEA, 65-61

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird back in at 7:03 Storm up 2

 

[nwhoopfan]

and then she hits a desperation long 3 as the shot clock was expiring

I don't think she called bank!

 

[Kaizen]

What a shot from Sue.. awesome

 

[nwhoopfan]

couple assist opportunities for Bird squandered

Howard missed a contest layup late in the shot clock, then on a break 2 players both went for the pass and knocked it away from each other, out of bounds.

68-63 5:44 left

 

[eebmg]

This one looks like it is going to come down to the wire.
