The level of skill in the Seattle-Mystics game is very high. Great game.

EDD is looking great. She looks physically stronger than ever. They had a piece where they were talking about alot of different treatment strategies as well as mind and body exercises.
 
Lloyd is a weird player. She can score 38 points and then not be able to hit the broad side of a barn the next game. Her lack of consistency is something that makes it tough for the Storm.

Better late than never. Loyd saved the Storm's bacon in this one.

Weird stat, regular season assist leader Cloud only had 1 tonight. Bird only had 2.

Weirder stat. Gabby 2-2 from 3. ;)

Seriously, she was all over the court (especially in the 3rd). But she does get in trouble with some super difficult passes.

And Gabby's challenge on EDD with a chance to tie was special

Wow what a game tonight. That was a Finals atmopshere tonight between Seattle's crowd and the level of play from both teams. Loyd came up absolutely huge down the stretch after being a complete no show. EDD was playing out of her mind but teammates couldn't get the job done once she started getting double teamed. A really bad turnover by Cloud down the stretch who otherwise had a great game.

Also worth noting--Seattle's balance was fantastic tonight. Stewart was the star and Loyd came through down the stretch but solid contributions from others like Charles, Magbegor, Williams and Bird. Can't wait for game 2.

Did Gabby get tired of hearing from @baggerbob ;)

Said before she needs to be involved in the offense, which at the end of the season she has been. She has made teams have to be aware, she can beat anyone off the dribble, and take it to the rack.

"We've been the same team for two years," Reeve said. "A little more averse to working hard, plain and simple. They want less, not more. They want less drills, not more. It was hard for me to convince them that what we were doing wasn't good enough. I tried to get on 'em. I tried yelling at them. I tried to leave 'em alone. I was not able to get through to this group. With this team, I had to accept less."

I can believe this. I went to the Sun game last Sunday and the only player who seemed to care was Aerial Powers. I was very disappointed to see Mo Jeff play with such ambivalence.

Apparently, playing in Seattle and their new arenas is an eye opener. In a post game presser question, EDD was raving about the atmosphere and (sought of) implying she would love to play there

Hmmm… didn’t she request a trade to DC to be closer to home?

One thing I notice, both Plum and Sabrina never seem to tire when they are on the court. 2 California girls who played college in the PNW.

Kelsey worked out with Sue Bird's support team after her injury. She says she feels that she is better shape than anyone. It gives her confidence.

I was chatting with Mike T. at the World Cup in Tenerife, and he was talking up the new Mystics arena. It's nice, but seats only 4,200 and is out of the way. The Seattle arena seats 18,000 and was full for Sue's last game. I think they had nearly 10,000 last night.

It was an awesome environment last night for the game. Is this the new venue? If so, it's set up really well in how its designed.
 
That Seattle/Washington series is going to be really fun to watch, if they keep playing like they did yesterday. Holy smokes! Great game by both teams. EDD looked good. I was very impressed with the rookie, Shakira Austin. She is going to be a force in the league if she stays hungry. Stewie, just efficient as usual. Jewell Loyd, just quietly goes about her business. Gabby Williams, much like Loyd, just goes about her business. This is going to be a fun series to watch.

I can't wait until tomorrow and watch Chicago/New York. Must win for Chicago. New York, see if they can continue that hot shooting at home. Wonder if Chicago is going to up their intensity. Las Vegas/Phoenix series. I hate to count out the Mercury, but they just do not have enough offensive and defensive punch to deal with the Aces. But I will be watching both games.

Game 2 is in Chicago as part of the "minimize travel" format

Thanks for correcting me. Definitely gotta get use to this new format and this noon game time. Not sure if I can have an adult beverage this early in the day. My body isn't use to the noon beverage drinking. :D

As a doomsday Liberty fan, I will drink after the game. :rolleyes:

Pretty weird the Liberty Game is 12PM but the Aces game is 9PM.

I'm guessing it's a time zone thing. Seems like a good tactic as it gives Las Vegas a prime time game at home on a Saturday night, from an attendance perspective.

On a selfish note, works great for me. I get to watch a game at noon, have time to do whatever I want (nap, yard work, etc.,) and watch a game in the evening before bed. The weather is great my way today. Gotta take advantage of it as fall is not that far away.

I might have to do the same. Get ready for the 9pm game.

This just in. Liberty turned down trying to join the Big East.

Sky may have 7 players in double figures and 0 for NY
 
I was really impressed with Chicago's defensive intensity. I didn't know they had that in them, haven't really seen that this season.

Just a miserable game for New York, nothing really worked for them all game long.
