Last i heard she was day to day and probably would play today. Its a must win game for the Storm so i expect her to play

They just beat the Lynx without Bird so they should not bring her back pre-maturely.

The Stars don't win a lot but they always play hard, give their all and have fun on the bench. Just a great group of women!

With Boo gone, Storm seems a different team. Would surprise me, if they lost.

You can't just look at the wins.You also have to look at the circumstances(First game back for Griner,No Whalen,No Brunson in 2nd half)

Storm barely beat an undermanned Lynx, now they can barely keep up with the Stars. Would really suck if they get into the playoffs instead of Chicago.

They may be way ahead in the current power rankings, but the Sky started the season 3-12. When you throw away nearly half a season like that you've got no right to be mad about missing the playoffs.

I was wondering the same thing when that brick went up.

I doubt playing Swords 18 seconds a game will do much to help the Storm win. Really?? Shocked

Having watched a lot of Storm games this season, I'm genuinely wondering whether you're being critical of them for failing to play her more tonight, or for over-playing her.

considering what I saw of Swords during her two years in New York, yes she should be playing more. I just think this coaching staff just doesn't know how to fully utilize her. Though the Liberty will happily take her back next season since it doesn't seem like it's working out for her in Seattle.

Plum is still susceptible to being trapped along the sideline up top.

I've never seen Clark hit a wide open 3 in a big spot.

Yeah, Boucek failed to use her effectively. I wonder if Klopp has other ideas but just doesn't want to try them in close games like this.

Plum has not helped during this Seattle run. That drive with Stewart waiting might have worked in college but not here. And then she almost hits a tying 3.

But that's modern basketball. Dive into a defender while shooting, even if they are stationary with their hands up and you will get a foul call.

yes, that move was perfected by Taurasi and Angel M., and is now the tradition being carried on by younger players like A. Thomas. [I would love to see this tradition broken by better officiating]

that one official was terrible. he made two obvious bad calls against the stars. never seen him before. he has to be a rookie.
