I dunno about AT giving it to Kelani. She's there for the defense, not to throw a post up. 😑

Oh my AT! Her shoulder!

As a Basketball fan who wants competitive matches, this match turns out to be really boring.

Mercury is just a poor match up against the Aces. Fever did better in terms of truly competing.

I they need to look into it.

It WAS NOT the initial contact that causes these injuries, but how it led into another where player is off-balance.

- AT's steal was clean, but she hits Phee who was off-balanced
- Jackie pulled Satou's arm, which led her to be off-balanced and collided with KB

I'm probably on the minority, but I'm skeptic about Sandy Brondello coaching a rebuilding and developing team like the Wings. She didn't squeezed everything out of a stacked team, what more for a young team?
Even when she was in Phoenix, it's the same thing. Stacked but was not squeezed.

Committee is a term used as an excuse 😭 Easiest way to say we fixing it, but it's not as quick and efficient as "hey owners, your medical staffs needs to coordinate and make a protocol how to care for head injuries".

I was shocked when they lifted her up, but at the same time I'm not a medical professional too, so I told myself what do I know. But now, seeing real medical professionals are concerned, everybody needs to be concerned about what happened. Someone call Cathy!

Oh my, I saw a video of Adam Silver saying that the Mohegan cannot sell their team, the Sun, to a different market. And when asked about Hartford, he said it's not on the same market(!).
This short interview basically trashed Cathy's line, that it's up to the Mohegan where they will sell their team.

I've been seeing sports doctors and healthcare professionals talking about how the Mercury medical staff made an egregious mistake in handling Satou's head injury. Many are concerned. And this should be magnified for the next CBA too! There needs to be a high level of protocol for Head Injuries.

I remember that young boy's face caught on live when the game got tight! It was fun to see.

😭 and on Lesbian Day.
Hope A'ja prepared another Cake! As a peace offering 🍰

oh my god

A'ja hit that game winner over an engaged couple 😭

Oh my! I forgot. 😭

She's trying not to foul.
But AT's double was late. You can't allow A'ja to get to her spot and elevate, should've doubled after catch.

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 1d

Becky has like 1M, while Reeves has 700k.
A man getting 2.4M just didn't sit well with me.

Becky still trust her bench despite everything. Nate didn't. Look what he has done to Laksa, Held and Westbeld. Those are the players that kept them afloat all season and was dump when the stars are back. Could've used some of them.

The Mercury have missed 8 free throws. They're down 10. #WNBA #LVvsPHX

Nate has been stuck to this 5-man group. Satou even went out and his move is to get Makani in (go smaller).

Why would Nate not put in his tallest defenders for that last possession after the timeout? Natasha Mack needs to be out there, maybe Kalani Brown just for height.

This is what I always hate about Basketball officiating. Fouls should be seen, at times, what has lead from one play to another.

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 1d

Alyssa Thomas should have doubled sooner. A'ja got to her spot before anyone doubled. Wrong Defense by Tibetts.

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 1d

A'ja Wilson! That was her spot and her shot.
