Urrgh! Why?


They called an offensive foul and she yelled at the official and got a double T ejection. They are up 30, so I don't know why she got so heated. Laughing

Because these refs are soft. The first technical was correct but the 2nd was a joke. She said fuck that to her teammates. Taurasi gets away with 20 times more then that Laughing Laughing


Nonsense. Taurasi once got suspended two games for swearing.

The live stats says the Mystics have 2 techs. Latta got both of them?

And do you agree with me that she swears at the refs every game Laughing

This game is evidence of what can happen when EDD becomes a distributor when doubled. Next game she's in single coverage and tearing up the net.

Great game for the Mystics.

Really, really, really bad game for the Storm.

Alysha Clarke is the least of their problems. Swords looked like a decent back up last year in NY and now is useless. Why? Krystal Thomas looked barely able to hold down a roster spot in Seattle and is now thriving in DC. Why? One answer is that K.Thomas has always been an excellent defender/rebounder/teammate but not a good shooter/scorer. So if you surround her with scorers and give her a role that emphasizes her strengths, she flourishes. Only Minny and LA have centers/frontcourts who excel at both offense and defense. Mystics are a scoring/defending BIG away from competing with Minny and LA. I expect they will soon be all alone in 3rd place.

Jenny Boo has been the right coach during the assembly of a young team that will compete in the future. Not doing so well at maximizing the talent they've collected.

She could of had the same role with the Storm surrounded by Stewart, Loyd and Bird

Blocking the games from league pass is ridiculous. I live in Delaware (where the game would not be blocked) but am at work in Baltimore. I wanted to catch some of it on my lunch hour but it is blocked.

So, if I go on vacation to a city that blocks a game I can't watch it? What good is streaming and paying for the league pass then?

Evil or Very Mad


I' sorry you couldn't see the game. The game was on NBA TV but, blacked out within 150 miles of DC. Monumental Sports Network has the broadcast rights to games not on ESPN. Maybe, in the future you can sign up for the Free Trial period (3 months) on Monumental. Then cancel your subscription after watching game/games.

It's not that Clark is that bad. It's more that Gabby is that good. Elite defense, rebounding and facilitation from the SF.... and she shouldn't have any problem scoring as much as Clark.

This all assumes SEA stumbles and doesn't make the playoffs, and likely get the 10% odds of #1. If they do get the #1, then Wilson is the way to go for any team. If SEA were to get #4, they'd have to cross their fingers to get Williams.
Mitchell would be nice on SEA, but she'd be a backup on next year's team so not as immediate an impact as Williams. DeShields? I suppose she could work but I don't feel her as much as Williams.

They could get a #7 or #8 seed in playoffs and get a 6'7 non-waif center in Russell. Maybe that'd be the best of both worlds. Playoffs and player in position of biggest need.

Gabby's that good against College athletes . Im Sure Alysha clark could do everything Gabby does at that level . As a matter of fact she did . Idea

Latta's ~foul that led to her ejection, the camera angle was about the same as the Ref's. There was a clear chicken wing thrown, but I'd be willing to bet, that other camera angles wouldn't show very much contact (at all). It seemed (to me) like a basketball play on Latta's part, and Whitcomb was a little off balance. Anyway, she got herself out of playing the rest of the game ; a standard coach's trick for sure.


Seattle tried Clark in front of EDD a few times. It reminded me of early LeBron guarded by Rip Hamilton. Put a much smaller and faster player in front to screw with her timing, be quick footed enough to harass her dribble drive, and a smidge more time for help D to get there.

She already got her first technical, and whatever she said here got her the second technical.

Despite having three all league players,seattle continues to be a mediocre sub .500 basketball team.I tried to warn storm fans,last seasons strong finish was fools gold.Beating teams that were sitting multiple players for various reasons wasn't a good predictor of how seattle would perform this season.The 20 win,top four seed perdiction of many storm fans was a bit too lofty.However,the situation is fixable.Seattle just needs more size/defense at the sf/c positions.Young/Currie would be good fits at SF.Dolson would be an upgrade at center.Making a low ball offer for Coates would also be in the cards.Trading the 2018 pick for anything less than McCoughtry or Lavender is stupid.However,if you are a storm fan,would you trade:

2018 1st & 2nd rd pks,Langorne,KML,& Swords for Dolson,Vandersloot and Young.

I'm pretty ignorant about college players and next year's draft. That said, I'd love this trade.
