WNBA Thread - Post Olympics

[nwhoopfan]

I've been critical of Bird since the Olympics break, but this is some vintage stuff for her. 4-6 behind the arc, just hit a huge one to tie the game. 1 minute left.

If Phoenix wins...barely beat NY, getting all they can handle from a Stewie-less Seattle, they are gonna get killed by either Las Vegas or Connecticut. They are pretenders.

 

[Kaizen]

A deep 3 from Bird, tie at 73, one min left.

 

[eebmg]

OMG. Bird super clutch on the 3 and Skylar misses 2 FTs Lordy

 

[nwhoopfan]

SDS 3-8 from the FT line. Wow!

 

[Hayven]

That was a bad call on Jewel. Luckily both free throws were missed

 

[Kaizen]

SDS missed both FTs .

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd is 4-17 and they set up the potential game winner for her? Brilliant. She missed of course. Now Phoenix has 12.5 sec to win the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hero ball fails miserably for both teams in the final minute. OT here we come.

 

[Kaizen]

OT, great block by Russell.

 

[eebmg]

Is Jewell fouled out. 5 PF

 

[nwhoopfan]

Is Jewell fouled out. 5 PF

She's on the court.

 

[Kaizen]

Is Jewell fouled out. 5 PF

Yes she has 5 PF. WNBA I think is 6 PF then out?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd 5-21. Why is she taking all of their shots in OT?

 

[eebmg]

Ok. Diana looks like Paige. (Ankle and all)

 

[Blueballer]

DT on one leg is still more clutch than most people on two.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Griner w/ 23 pts/16 rebounds. They should've gone to her a lot more. 11-17 FG.

No Stewie AND Loyd had a terrible game and this went to OT. Like I said, Phoenix gets killed next round.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd misses AGAIN. Sit her on the bench.

 

[Hayven]

Bad end game management by both teams. Jewel taking all of the shots in OT. Phoenix going through SDS but is more effective with BG taking the shot

 

[Hayven]

That’s the shot you take, why?!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Phoenix misses another pair of FTs, but another terrible shot by Loyd misses by a mile. Why are they putting the ball in her hands? How many times do you have to see the same thing not work before you try something else?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird's turn to take a terrible shot. OT has been complete garbage.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Phoenix is 13-24 from the FT line. Nurse finally hit a pair for them, might've iced it.

 

[Hayven]

Two free throws by Nurse. Phoenix up by 5 with 15 seconds left. This is over. I really hope this isn’t the last game for Sue

 

[nwhoopfan]

Loyd is 5-24. KLS is 6-10. Hmm.

 

[Blueballer]

Lloyd has made some terrible decisions. They keep going to her and she can't hit the broad side of a barn.
