Agreed with every word, cancontent, yet that's all the more reason for Stewie to produce more than 14 and 13 when three rival players had 23 or more points. She's a great player.
It's the fact that the trio of Cloud, Atkins and Sykes aren't putting down 60+ points per night. When outside shots go in, much much easier for the Aces' guards to get back and get set on defense.
The Mystics backcourt may be more athletic, but the Aces backcourt is elite. All three are potent 3-level scorers. Gray is a gamer who controls the game. Plum is a sniper that seems to find her routes through the lane with ease. And Young overpowers her opponents on the drive, and now pulls the trigger on 3s efficiently. They've been really fun to watch this season. Plus they have all ran the point at one or another and share the ball. Last night was awesome watching different players get hot and just maintain dominance throughout the game.
Well said. Stewie has to step up and I am sure she will. But her performance, over the playoffs has been less than eye appealing. She has put up some numbers but not what we all were expecting.
They put Stewart on Gray and Laney on Young. So they are trying to protect Sloot or Ionescu on defense, and it's working. Of course Plum is carrying the Aces because she is attacking her matchup, and Stokes can't get into position to score against a guard.
Aces had it down to six and the Liberty looked like they were tightening up a bit. Then Gray got injured. That footage from the hallway leading to the locker room was not encouraging for Chelsea Gray or Aces fans. Hope for her sake, first and foremost, this isn't as serious as it looks it could be.
The Liberty weren't guarding her at all and were able to get away with it. Playing 4 on 5 on offense is not good. She's like half a player. Good on one end of the floor, non existent on the other. She actually scored in the previous game, but didn't take a single shot today.
I think it's pretty close to 0% chance she'll play.
Agreed but some some speculation on social. I really thought Vegas was going to sweep after that first game. If New York is able to win game 4 and Gray is out the rest of the series I think that makes game 5 a coin toss.
Seems baseless to me. There has never been any kind of talk of a timeline for her return ever since the injury. She doesn't suit up, she doesn't participate in shoot around/warmups. She doesn't even sit on the bench, she sits behind it in civies. That screams done for the year to me.
