Slow game so far....neither team has broken out. Atlanta is just so athletic, but I think once Washington finds their rhythm they'll go up 2-0.

Tough game to watch. Strong defense to be sure but so many missed jumpers and free throws. EDD's jump shot is not falling but she is starting to make some tough shots in the paint. Only Bentley seems to have any offensive success for the Dream.

Forgot Lottery is at half time. The fix is in. Las Vegas is the darling of the WNBA so they will win top pick.

They do have the second best odds. Watch the pained look on Laimbeer's face if they end up with #3 or worse.

That alone would make it worth watching.

Dingdingdingding!

Getting the 1st pick not that important in this draft. There is no player like Aja Wilson who was the clear #1. Liberty at #2 a nice surprise.

Serious question??

No disrespect to anyone coach, person, or team (my disclaimer)

Is it me or is Ariel Atkins a different player in the Mystics system vs her time at Texas? Was Aston not using her abilities or was she out of position? Just curious. I mean she should have been an AA to me.

Elena Delle Donne is killing it this quarter! She has the complete offensive game.

I have long suspected Aston didn’t know how to use her at Texas. Atkins has improved so much in the WNBA.

Exactly what you would expect for 3rd place MVP.

Edit. Atlanta clawing their way back into the game.Tied at 58 after 3Q. Breland a beast on the Defensive end.

58-58 end of third. ATL is bringing it!

Don't know, but she is a top-4 rookie. Very athletic and good from the arc.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Washington has EDD, and Atlanta doesn't. That may be the difference.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crap! EDD is down and holding her knee.

and now they dont......

 

[BigBird]

EDD hurt. Maybe a knee... no.

 

[Geew1992]

That was ugly!!

 

[CTGirl15]

That video of EDD going down was AWFUL. That did not look good at all.

 

[eebmg]

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yeah, her left foot slid several feet, and then she took a few more steps stumbling.

She got a standing ovation from the Atlanta crowd.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Look for KT to go into overdrive.

 

[msf22b]

Fervently hope that EDD is not seriously hurt.
