Charlie Collier should’ve stayed in college for her senior year

Why? She would have still dominated cupcakes and underperform against tough posts

Did Moriah get injured? Did not play in second half. Said she was late coming back to the bench for the start of second half.

Jefferson is being wasted on the Wings, imo.

I believe she was injured

I didn't catch the game, but apparently Moriah is dealing with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for their next game (per the Dallas' Twitter account). And while that injury isn't great, a Dallas News paper had initially reported it as an undisclosed knee injury--whew! Heal quickly Moriah! <3

Mercury / Fever rematch now on NBA-TV. Interested in seeing how Hartley looks in her second game back and if Kia Nurse continues her hot 3pt shooting.

Doesn’t look like Hartleys gonna play

Maybe the game is too close?

I don’t know but she looks to be in sweats. I could be wrong though

I think they said in the beginning that only Alanna Smith is out with some injury.

I missed that part.

Which is more likely to repeat in the 2nd half--Allen playing out of her mind for the Fever or SDS not hitting a single FG for the Fever?

Good Call. But I would say SDS's defense totally dominated the start of the 3Q and Kia Nurse simply giving Fever a major headache.

 

[eebmg]

Bria Hartley in.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Hartley is playing

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well not surprisingly Allen couldn't keep up her first half pace, but SDS never did get going offensively. Nurse and Griner providing plenty enough scoring for the Merc to pull away.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That's probably a really good sign for Phoenix, Taurasi and SDS are combined 3-12 shooting and 10 points, and they're still gonna win (barring a complete collapse).

'Three' Cheers for Vivians ending her 0-19 from 3 with 2 3 pointers

Edit

add another.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oops, I might've jinxed Phoenix. 14 point lead is down to 4, still w/ 3 minutes left.

Vivians got them going with 2 3's and McGowan has been a major stud. All hands on deck for the Mercury.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Taurasi and McGowan still jawing after the game ended. Yelling at each other across the court.

Of all the WNBA players I wouldn't be jawing at... McGowan is at or near the top of the list. (assuming I was a female WNBA player)

 

[eebmg]

I guess Diana was standing up for Nurse who was steam rolled trying to block out McGowan but nothing dirty. I wish Diana did not feel the need to trash talk but too late I guess.

To paraphrase Ron White, she has the right to remain silent, but she does not have the ability.
