Good coaching move by Quinn to start fouling early. The Storm just couldn't cash in.

DT needs to retire. Bird has more in the tank.

Man. This post game with DT and Bird is emotional. She's not saying it but I think one of them is retiring for sure. There was too much pomp and circumstance.

I loved the jersey swap. There would've been a meltdown over that 39 years ago.

Looks like Birdy is retiring. Hopefully she thinks about it a while and realises that with Stewie healthy and Loyd back as their 2nd option they are always a candidate for a title

Turner's block on Ezi was the play of the game imo! The Storm could've gone up 5 and I don't think the Merc would've been able to overcome that.

SDS missed two huge free throws in regulation, but came up with two great passes in OT to Turner and BG.

Bird and Taurasi are old and hobbled, but dammit those two can still shoot.

The Storm never looked the same after the Commissioner's Cup Game

Shocked

I don't think Sue retiring is based on her effectiveness, rather the ability to play an enitire season. She started this season playing very well and that lasted until the end of the Gold medal game. She looked really gased and had to come our sooner that she wanted too. That seemed to have carried over to the remainder of this season. I think she senses that she can no longer play a complete season without being drained at the end.

Being out due to injuries might have kept her from realizing just how much her body is not capable to play so many games. When you are the point guard you just can not pace yourself like players at other positions can. Besides thats not her style anyway.

They mentioned that she has been signing one-year deals recently, and she takes the time to assess how she is feeling. Seems that her contracts have generally been announced late in the process. I sure hope she comes back, but if not, she is leaving a wonderful legacy!

Meanwhile, I can't figure out why, when Loyd was shooting bricks, they kept giving her the ball! I was feeling as I often do when Diamond gets the ball - "Don't shoot, don't go for a layup, pass the ball!" With all the FTs Phx missed, I think if someone else had been shooting for Seattle, they could have won (as I was hoping),

Skylar was certainly emotional at the end of the game, wonder what the crowd was saying to her. Laughing

I believe that a joint retirement statement will be coming soon from Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe along with an announcement of a forthcoming marriage. They've both won just about everything important they could have won. They've had demanding schedules keeping them in different places for significant stretches of time. They're each ready to begin new careers and will have endless opportunities offered to them. (Surely that's already happened.)

Of course many Seattle fans and many of the rest of us don't want to see Sue Bird retire. But I'll be shocked if we see her in a 2022 WNBA game. I have complete admiration for Bird and Rapinoe and wish them all the best individually and together.
