Washington Mystics @ Seattle Storm game 1

I think this underscores what a difference it makes for Seattle when Loyd is on. She's 9-11 from the floor and 3-3 behind the arc. Getting her first trip to the FT line now.
 
Ryan just said what I was thinking: It's a Sue Bird clinic.

73-46

Bird to Stewart!

I have no idea how this series isn't a 3-0 sweep. Washington looks like they have no answers. At least with Phoenix you always knew Bonner, Taurasi and Griner were going to show up at some point.

Delle Donne and Toliver are a combined 5-20. If those 2 were hitting shots it would be a lot more competitive.

Look those five's +/-

Even Langhorne is hitting jumpers. It's Seattle's night. 77-53 after 3Q.
 
Looks like a full house tonight for the game.
I don't see any empty seats when the cameras pan the customers. Seattle has run off and hid, up by 24 at the end of 3. This one is over.
 
Atkins is having a really nice game, 17 points on 8-12 from the floor. It's easy to not notice because of how lopsided the game is.

In another thread somebody mentioned 3 point shooting (Washington specifically) as a key. Mystics are 3-18, Storm 5-10. It sure seems like they've hit more than 5. Storm shooting 60% overall from the floor. That will win you a lot of games.

Seattle has a fervent fan base.

Della Donne isn't close to 100%. She gave it a go, but you can tell she's not right. The coach should sit her the remainder of the game, and get her ready for game two on Sunday. I'm pulling for Suzie B and the Storm. :cool:

Little run for Washington, cut the lead to 18. I think they said it was as much as 27. Bird coming back in. Thought she was gonna get to rest the whole 4th quarter.
 
Atkins has 23 points in her first finals game. On 10-14 shooting. Impressive.

KT has only 5, and Sanders is scoreless. Cloud and EDD have 11 and 10, respectively.

He is resting EDD.
 
I haven't seen that much of the Storm this year. Now I see why some are critical of Canada. She's quick enough she can get a shot just about any time she wants, but she's not finishing and she's not looking to set up teammates. She has a long way to go to be a successful PG in the W.
 
Howard didn't do much after a fast start, but now she's getting going again. She has 17 in the game.
 
Washington is getting aggressive play from the bench. They cut the lead from 27 to 16.

Whoever is doing the box score for ESPN fell asleep about 5 minutes ago. They haven't given credit to any of the Seattle players for their last 3 buckets.
 
Same story as EDD's first finals appearance. Playing hurt, she wills her team to the finals where they meet a far superior opponent.

That year the Mercury swept the Sky. Feels like the Storm may sweep the Mystics.
 
89-69 3:33 left. Seattle emptied the bench.
