It sucks for EDD & Mystics that she gonna deal with back issues but Washington did show some fight in that gm 2 loss. Kristi really gotta go off like Courtney William for Mystics to have a chance at a win in gm 3. Honestly EDD size vs JJ on the defense end is where Mystics really missed her. I think Im becoming Power fan after gm 2, I love how she goes after rebs on both ends.

The team will provide an update on Delle Donne’s condition and availability on Saturday.

Thibault calling both Delle Donne and Atkins questionable with back injuries for Game #3.

Delle Donne did not travel with the team to Connecticut today. Her AND Ariel Atkins are questionable for game 3. If both are out, it's a huge blow to the Mystics to only have 9 available for a Finals game.

I'd love to be wrong, but I just can't see DC winning another game without EDD.

College Football?

I wanna know about EDD ... oh that's bad not traveling.
Atkins with a bad back too.
Ouch.

So that means what :
Toliver -- Cloud -- Meesseman -- Sanders -- Hawkins
with SWK 1st off the bench, yes?

Starting to should be: Cloud-Toliver-Powers-Meesseman-Sanders. First off the bench would be Hawkins and Walker-Kimbrough. Might have to play Mestegah if a guard gets in foul trouble.

EDD and AA did travel to Conn. for the game. They are in a video titled "Gangs all Here" on the Mystics FB page.

This is just strategic gambling by Thibault. This is the game 3 of The WNBA finals I doubt Delle donne sits out again. My doubt is only like 30 % with her history of never playing a full season and yet garnering so many accolades.

They want the Sun and their fans think Wash will be playing with a short bench. Hoping that the Sun relax and go out not hyped up.

It’s more than likely, the Sun’s coaching staff prepares them as if they will have their regular starters on the floor. They are not that foolish to think and do otherwise because this is the WNBA finals.

Perhaps Coach Thiabult made a call to his buddy Coach Fisher of the Sparks, and now he has a cunning plan to bench the starters for 3 quarters or so in order to lull the Sun into capitulating the championship to the Mystics!?!

That's a bad move, I don't believe the Washington bench are as capable of staying at 0% from the field as the Sparks. I'm not saying they can't do it, we've certainly seen hope in some games, but can they keep it up for three quarters before they return with a 40:0 run in the 4rt? Probably even Mestdagh will hit a three at some point. Maybe a better plan is to have EDD miss four shots on purpose before benching her for the greater effect?

If your back is really hurting, you can't play. You can barely move ...

If you have a bad ankle, you can tape it up and hope you don't hurt it. If your wrist is bothering you, you can still do some things on the court.

But knees, backs, and concussions ... there's not much wiggle room with serious injuries, and a herniated disk is serious.

She’s going to play Dr. Phil I just can’t see her sitting out this game. This 1 game could be the series changer.

I certainly hope that EDD plays, but I much more hope she doesn't try to play if she cannot and can make things worse for herself. It's a matter of how bad ‘questionable’ is. I'm taking it to mean no EDD and no Atkins until the line-ups show otherwise.

Also I don't think this is quite like the last two times Delle Donne was in the Finals and half-fit. Those teams had absolutely no chance without her. So if she was willing to give it a go, they were always going to toss her out on the floor and let her try. This is still a very, very talented team even without her. I can absolutely see them stealing one of these games in Connecticut without her, and then Game 5 would be the usual crapshoot (but with the home crowd behind them). That's why I'm worried about her trying to play through the injury. It could do more damage to the Mystics' chances than help.

Delle Donne starting.

Had a feeling she was better than advertised from that airport video.

Atkins and Delle Donne both starting according to the Mystics' Twitter account. Although they've been wrong about their own team's starting lineup before.

I am not surprised they are playing. Them being questionable was never the truth. It was stated to confuse the Sun and how they were going to play. Not everyone is so easily fooled and I knew it right away. Go SUN.
