I really wish they would have priorized national TV games when it comes to her rest days. Especially an east coast game after a 4 day break.

Per Kareem Copeland Washington Post:

Mike Thibault said sitting Elena Delle Donne today was a recommendation from the medical staff. They want her available for Atlanta on Wednesday and she'd played 3 in a row. But he said the timing wasn't ideal for the tiebreak game after the two teams split the first 2.

I'm sure the W would rather she not sit in nationally televised games

So far Thibault is looking like a genius.

26-19 WAS end of first

Yeah...the schedule was set before injuries and other factors that have changed the dynamics of the season were known. There's some room for flexing but not always.

A shame that both teams can't lose... I find myself pulling slightly for Connecticut, though, simply because - never mind it being a nationally televised game - the notion of sitting your best player against a Top 3 team in the league, so that she'll be rested against (checks notes) Atlanta? That offends my sensibilities.

Man, why did Alysha Clark have to go from Seattle to Washington? I want to root for her sooo bad, but I can't, as a matter of principle.

Love Alysha Clark. Love the fact that she transformed her game to work in the W...obviously through a lot of very hard work.

Nobody ever commits a foul....according to the player called for the foul.

A shooter is always fouled...according to the shooter.

Root for the person, not the team. I like Clark too.

That was one stupid inbounds play at the end.

The Sun don’t excite me, they’re a great team, but they don’t have the wow factor AFAIC. They don’t elicit strong emotions from me like other teams have in the past, whether good or bad. I respect them though and of course I love the MD girls AT and Bri Jones.

I guess I'm one of those people who root for individuals but not the team. For example, I can never be a Washington fan because of the EDD situation, but I appreciate Atkins and Clark.

I don't understand why Connecticut is struggling the way that it is. Perhaps it's the lack of defense dynamic that has been mentioned before. Let 'em keep struggling!

That's just the thing. I don't root for teams, I root against teams. That's why I can't root for Alysha Clark, even though I want to really bad. Because fuck the Storm and the Mystics: she went from a team I loathe to a team I hate only slightly less.

To be or not be a Hater? That is the question.

Will EDD ever be able to play 2 or 3 games in a row? Shocked

They are supposed to be load managing her back. The goal is to have her one hundred percent ready for the playoffs. But I wonder if her back will ever be fully healthy. If I were the opposing head coach in the playoffs I would have my post players be as physical as possible with her. Just to test how strong her back really is.😏
