A. Thomas takes about 5 steps trying to secure a rebound, trips, gets rewarded w/ FTs. Sun have doubled up the Sky in FTA. Sketchy.

 

[JellyBean]

Love me some Alysa Thomas. Her energy is fantastic!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Chicago choking away this opportunity for a big win.

 

[Kaizen]

Up 2 pts, go SUN ..

 

[nwhoopfan]

If Miller got a dollar for every time he said aaiiight, he would be a very rich man. It's not annoying or anything.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OT. Bonner with a fairly terrible shot to end regulation. Yeah...I'm just not a fan. 4-15 shooting. Shot selection looks as bad to me as it ever was. Why not try to get one of the Joneses the last look closer to the bucket?

 

[nwhoopfan]

A lot of airball 3's in OT. I think there are some tired legs out there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sloot tied a playoff record w/ her 16th assist (Bird held the record, who else).

Stevens has been out for a LONG time. Ndour had some good minutes earlier, but she's done nothing for quite a while. That seems like a bad coaching move.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looks like Williams is trying to keep the Aces in the game by herself in the other one. Merc off to a good start.

edit--some kid named Taurasi has 3 3's and Pho up by 9 thru Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sloot w/ a terrible TO, but saves it by getting a steal at the other end. 2OT.

LV-Phoenix is going to be at halftime before this is over.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Why no Stevens? Now they've gone back to Dolson, who has not had a good game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Did Jonquel run out of gas? She had 22 fairly early in Q3. Stuck at 26, well into 2nd OT.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Parker up to 37 minutes. I predict she's gonna have nothing in the next game. Will be really costly if they lose this one while wearing her out.

 

[Kaizen]

Both team's players are so worn our at this 2nd OT .. This is a really good game to watch.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Chicago up 4. Another bad TO by Sloot. She is up to 18 assists. And 1 rebound shy of a triple double.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I've been picking on her, but Dolson has been solid in the 2nd OT.

 

[nwhoopfan]

There's the triple double for Sloot! This one is over. Don't know that they can win the series, but nice statement game by the Sky.

Only the 2nd playoff triple double ever. First was Swoopes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jonquel disappeared. I have no idea when her last bucket was, but nothing in either OT.

edit--she stopped grabbing rebounds too

 

[nwhoopfan]

Some big minutes--Bonner 48, J. Jones 45, J. Thomas 42, Sloot 44, Quigley 42, Copper 41. 3 other players 37 minutes or more. Who will be more tired for Game 2?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces have recovered to take a slight lead. Williams lighting in up w/ 17. Gray has 11 pts/7 assists.

Griner and Taurasi doing their thing for the Merc.

52-49 at the half.

 

[ochoopsfan]

I still remember, years ago, when I posted on the BY that Sloot was the best pg in D1 ball. I think 2 or 3 people said, "whose she"

And to think the entire Pac 12 passed on her, including the school just up the road from her home.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Las Vegas does some weird things on defense. How do you leave Taurasi WIDE open on a 3? Or Griner even more wide open under the bucket? Some really dumb rotations.

 

[bballnut90]

I've been picking on her, but Dolson has been solid in the 2nd OT.

Same, gotta give her props. Dolson finished the game quite well after a rough start.

 

[eebmg]

Aces pulling away. Plum is exceptional. Said 3 x 3 really helped her since they don't call fouls. Got to fight through contact.
