No one is allowed to touch the GWH. If an opposing player has flatulence near the GWH it's a technical foul.

Now that would explain all of the odd transactions and staff changes in Chicago over the years!

Haters gonna hate, but EDD was the best player on the floor. What a great player ...
Hayes is good, but the gap between having EDD as your star and Hayes as your star is significant.

| How much of the game is luck? If both teams hit their normal FT%, Atlanta wins.

Atlanta fans shouldn’t feel too down.
It took a great game by EDD to barely get a win. The mystics, should be the favored team. But this is clearly going to be a competitive series.

I never realized luck is the biggest factor in FT’s being made.

If this matchup didn't feature the best free throw shooting team against the worst one this might be a thought worth entertaining.

| I think any time a game is decided by one basket or less, the outcome if pretty much luck. Sports fans are often fooled by randomness.

EDD is not using elbows to ward opponents off, pushing and shoving, hacking and all in opponents faces, getting technicals, ready to fight like a certain superstar___________. Haters are gonna hate. I get it. Atlanta was very aggressive yesterday and got away with a lot of fouls. Mystics take game two it's a wrap.
PEACE & LOVE GO MYSTICS!!!!!

2 take away's from this game .
1. EDD gets more calls than any player in this league , that should not be up for debate .
2. Tiffany Hayes is NOT a superstar

10 players have shot more free throws per game than EDD this season.

| Time period isn't as important as how many close games there were and how many won or lost. That would still not prove it's coaching - it could be the players, and ultimately winning a close game is only one aspect of coaching. Lot's of things (good and bad) can impact that.

I was home sick and didn't get to watch all of the game. Was there a point when a Mystics player kicked a ball in the air? A Dream player posted on her Instagram that the ref told her it's because that Mystics player used to play soccer. She then said if she had done it...
I missed this part. Not sure how blatant it was or if it is a whole big ball of nothing.

It was Toliver. It happened in the first quarter while there was dead ball situation. It was no big deal. One of the refs talked to her immediately afterwards, presumably to warn her against doing it again.

Yeah ATL players went into a frenzy when Panda kicked the ball in the air. It wasnt like she was extremely frustrated but i do agree if that had been another certain player or 2 in this league it would have been an Auto-T.

Thank y’all for clarifying. At the very least, it should have been announced as a delay of game warning. I also agree that if it was several others in the league, it would have been an automatic T. I’m more upset but not surprised that the red said “oh they played soccer it’s ok” or whatever. No, same rules should apply for all I say. Tech for one tech for all.
