The Olympics did absolutely no favors to the Storm. Never the same team after the break.

Looks like a good one brewing in the other game. McBride going nuts for Minnesota. Lynx up 23-20.

edit--23-22 thru Q1. Pretty much all McBride and Fowles for Lynx. Balanced scoring for Sky.

The crowd chanting one more year to Sue, with DT urging the crowd. Sue told DT to stop. Based upon that interview, it seems like Sue is done

McBride has 12 pts already.

Pheesa missed a fairly easy put back at the buzzer of Q1 and before that got blocked from a nice crystal feed.. Just out of rhythm :confused:

You can't discount the Commissioners' Cup emotional impact either. That was a finsh line in itself and the focus let up after that.

Other than the nice $ bonus, that game was less than meaningless. Sun have been unstoppable since and Storm have mostly sucked.

Chicago up 42-38 at the half. Copper and DeShields playing well.

Collier struggling so far.

Sky up 42-38 at half. No way that should happen with Sky 2-10 from 3. Giving up fast break baskets at will. Annoying as heck.

Sue had a good run pre and during most of the Olympics but she began to tail off at the end. Especially the last game shason anymore at a level she is used to playing. It didn't show the season before because she spent much of the time injured and not playing. e ran totally out of gase which seemed to carry over to the remander of theis season. I think she realizes that her body just can not handle a complete season.

Struggling is kind. Azure looks like the best Husky in this game.

That was a BIG bonus for WNBA players. It was far from meaningless.

Chicago had built the lead to 10, but Sloot went to the bench and they totally stalled. Minnesota chipped away a little bit. Deficit is 6 heading into Q4. I think they went w/ Evans at PG for too long.

Lynx just not defending at a playoff level. Now 11 point lead and Carleton looked like she may have a hammy?

McBride has completely disappeared since the 1st quarter. Collier still hasn't shown up. Powers has gotten going in the 2nd half. Fowles has been the only constant for Minnesota.

Chicago, known for scoring a bunch but not being able to defend at all, has actually been playing some defense in the playoffs.

Wait a minute. 14 point lead cut in half, 4+ minutes left. Not quite over yet.

Great career, but it's time for Seattle to start retooling their roster. Stewie, and Jewell will be getting max contracts, and Sue would be a third, which leaves very little for others.
Phoenix had that problem this year, Diana, Skyler, and Griner. Russell, and Canada are up for new contracts, and Ezi the next year.
