The big question is if Myisha will be 100% after having a mild case of Covid. She was on a tear before the positive Covid test.

Tina Charles gets away with a moving screen. Yeah, when your hip swings into the defender, that's a foul!

| I counted 3 Williams steals, but one was scored as a block. Guess the one where she ripped the ball out of Cloud's hands.

| EDD has the most amazing and unique game. Nobody else plays the game the same way. It's quite beautiful to watch.

What the holy hell? Precious Breanna does no wrong according to these officials. Come on now.
Beat them 5 on 6.

I have very little sympathy for anyone rooting for EDD's team complaining about not getting calls.
That having been said, Stewart's bulldozer routine is wearing very thin.

The Mystics are also a very physical team. So, refs are going to call fouls.
This game looked like what was advertised - two of the best players in the world going against each other.
Overall the first round was excellent.

| Now that was a GAME! Thinking Wash had to win this one because EDD can't play that much in game 2.

Lloyd can go one on one and shake her defender. Next closest to that on the court would be Stewart.
Too bad Charles got the rebound on that Lloyd beat-the-shot clock three. But there were other things that helped Seattle chip away at the end, like the Cloud to Atkins pass that went out of bounds.
Stewart can run into players to throw them off balance and spin for a pass and not get called for a foul. Here she tries it on Natasha Cloud who anticipates it and braces for Stewart running into her and gets called for fouling the player running into her.

| I've decided I don't have to exercise at all, all I have to do to get my heart going is watch a Storm game like that (well, any game like that!)!

They can't be load managing in the playoffs too, right? I mean come on...they were resting her all season JUST to have her available now. Whatever it takes.

Glad others can see the obvious Breanna plowing into players, who then get called for the foul. It's like officials see their job as protecting the precious one. If a player in in the place the precious wants to go, I mean, the precious one could get hurt if she can't go anywhere she wants to and plow over anyone she feels like.
