These games are early morning for me so getting this play in now. I believe Quinn and the Storm realise what they did was wrong by resting Bird and Stewie for 2 games straight which they lost both. That now puts them in a position where they need to play hard every game to keep up with Sun and Aces and try to get 1-2 seeds. EDD is back and on minutes restriction, she will be rusty as she hasn’t played in over 20 months. I like the energy that she will bring though to the Mystics and I do think that Thibault will bring her off the bench for some added depth and until she gets match fit. Either way, I do think the Storm score at a good click and seeing that the Mystics only hit 5 from 35 in that 2H the other day vs Mercury, I do expect MUCH better shooting from them against the 2020 Champions.

I like this play but I would love this even more if EDD wasn’t playing. Seattle will likely hit 85+ but I’m just wondering if when EDD is in that the Mystics are less likely to push and then the half court game will turn into using the entirety of the shot clock looking to get her a touch and then the shot will be something contested or something awkward from TC to beat the shot clock. Hope I’m wrong about this though!
