Megan & Kate vs Phoenix

 

[amahawk]

Trying to grow a league while making it difficult to watch. Great plan.

 

[Franisdaman]

Kate comes in at the 2:40 mark of the 1st qtr, gets a HUGE ovation, and immediately gives the Aces a spark

Megan on the court, too

Trying to grow a league while making it difficult to watch. Great plan.

WNBA league pass is like $35 for the entire season. That’s pretty accessible

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

Phoenix looks good playing at this pace so far this season. Griner won't be able to keep up.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Young has some hustle.

 

[MilleGinja]

Taurasi just push her into Martin?

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Young has some hustle.

She and Wilson might be the two best players in the league.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Raining!

 

[MilleGinja]

She and Wilson might be the two best players in the league.

Aces are stacked

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Kate got fallen on and her ankle twisted not long after a rebound led to a transition basket and their first lead. Played on but went to the tunnel after coming off. Not a good week for Hawkeye ankles.

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

Who's CC going to guard on the Aces? Young or Plum aren't good match-ups for her.

No good options there, plus it's the second game of a back to back for the Fever. It's going to be a long day for Indiana.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Martin back on! Defensive rebound again too. Phew!

 

[Franisdaman]

Taurasi just push her into Martin?

looked like it.

 

[Hawksfor3]

KM had a great look there.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

KM had a great look there.

Missed her last four since knocking down her first attempt from three.

 

[Hawksfor3]

She and Wilson might be the two best players in the league.

I think Wilson has the softest shot I've ever seen. lol

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice D by the Meg.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Kate back on. Becky loves her. Meg putting some great defensive stops together. Talk about her growth in that area of her game!

Ugh. Kate misses a good look from three to end the 3rd.

I just wish they'd take advantage of her offensive skills

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Phoenix is shooting lights out from three. Not looking good to start the 4th.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Why does Cunningham want a review? WTH?

 

[Franisdaman]

officiating, man....

at least it's consistent, I guess.

consistently bad....

 

[Hawksfor3]

Big 3.

 

[Franisdaman]

Big 3.

Plum is fun to watch

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Aces..,what a helluva rally to whittle it down to 2. Kelsey Plum is a stone cold sniper.

7 treys!

what was their biggest 2nd half lead ? 15? might have been 17....

 

[Hawksfor3]

what was their biggest 2nd half lead ? 15? might have been 17....

I'm guessing 15.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Martin back on with all strong perimeter shooters, looking for the three ball…

…and gets no look but fouls on the rebound. Aces first loss. 2-1

 

[UpstreamHawkeye]

Talking about blown lay-ups. It happens to the best teams.

 

[Hawksfor3]

what was their biggest 2nd half lead ? 15? might have been 17....

Wilson hit 2 fts with 5:17 in the 4th to cut the lead to 13 points. The score before the fts was 88-73 Merc.
