Did You Know The Phoenix Mercury Cannot Play A Normal Game Of Basket Ball ?

Celeste! Taylor!! 3 points, 5 rebounds, FIVE Steals!, One Block! [and maybe the most eventful free throw in a game of basket ball ever]

ppl yap about oh so and so loves their rookie the most da da da da... nobody loves their rookie like the merc love celeste taylor [did you see the hug when kiki made her second 3 between dt and celeste on the sideline? I did . they showed it 3 times. ]

bg getting ejected with rickea jackson? maybe the funniest thing all night/ season... right up there with the mtl/tor fights

bloodgate part 2? help

Tash Cloud with another points assists double double. and 2 steals!

FOUR! blocks from Natasha Mack!

we really can't talk about the DT -> BG plays enough. i know oh they've done it for 10 years with the merc, with usa, in russia, but we simply cannot talk about it enough

BG scored 14 points in 14 minutes, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, shooting 87% on 8 fg attempts [that's 7/8]. All of the in the first half!!

monique 9 points, 3 rep, 1 block!

Kiki!!! 2 Clutch 3s, 60% from the field, 2 Steals

Sophie! filling that stat sheet: 14 points, 3 reb, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block

our +/- queens of the evening: Celeste +11, DT, Tash Cloud +9, Monique +8, Sophie +6

ok let me say this: I don't like the conversations and I don't appreciate the chatter about everything [as previously mentioned i am in deep denial] BUT I appreciate the narratives, the conversations, that the commenters are having surrounding the appreciation for DT

and I appreciate that they got her to do the post game interview but You Don't Have to Bring It Up To Her Face Every Time [bring it up to everyone else. get the stories the admiration, etc. but not to her- like this is common sense i fear] and did we have to talk about the first half shots? because they weren't falling for anybody that first half.

that being said, the shots not falling in the first quarter was so funny [not as funny as the ejection but close]

nate won a challenge yay

everybody loves cam brink

overall a lot to improve but also: the defense, the effort, the end result!
