Marine Johannes drives in.

Megan helps. That's fine. Emily helps. That's fine.

Sug Sutton. Initially we are aware of the need to closeout on JJ. That's good.

But then we turn out backs away from the shooters. WHY ARE WE MOVING TOWARDS MJ?

You are not part of the equation.

Either your teammates do their job. Or they don't.

You are not part of the equation.

You shouldn't even be looking at the ball. Check JJ, check Vanloo, check JJ, check Vanloo.

Don't watch the ball. Watch their body language. One of them will tell you who's getting the ball.

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton drives in.

1 help defender. 2 help defender. 3 HELP DEFENDERS IS WHAT KILLS YOU.

Bridget Carleton. I get it. You want to be in the gaps.

But the instant BLH goes right. You are no longer part of the equation. Why are you moving towards BLH?

Either your teammates do their job. Or they don't.

You are not part of the equation.

Your job is to closeout. You are not ready. If that ball went to Bec Allen instead of Vanloo, she's hitting that shot too.

Bec Allen gets middle position. Draws 2 help defenders.

Again, Sug what are we doing? Why are we walking towards Bec Allen? What could you possibly do, that Emily and Bridget can't already do?

Your job is to closeout. You are not ready. You get blown by. Open 3.

Alright, let's see a good explains.

Veronica Burton drives in.

E Will in drop. Skylar in backside help.

Look at Natasha Cloud's feet. Does she move towards VB?

No.

The drive is not her solve. She's knows she is not part of the equation.

She moves away from VB. She's trying to cut off the elbow pass to Gabby. Then she lunges to her right, trying to prevent a bounce pass to the corner.

Valks can't even get a 3 off.

Jacy Sheldon drives in.

Kia drops. Janelle goes all in on the stunt. 1 help defender. 2 help defender.

Does VB move towards Sheldon?

No.

Her part of the equation is to solve the closeouts.

She's in a tricky 1v2 spot. She closes out at Jaquez at an angle that shuts off the pass to the corner. Jaquez has to drive into traffic.

[Game] Who is Jessica Shepard passing to?

The most ridiculous gravity award, goes to Aaliyah Edwards. Two defenders run across the court, when she doesn't even have the ball.

Aliyah Boston: "Hey wrong way [Lexie get to the corner]". SIKE it's an elevator action!

Marina Mabrey purposely dribbles into traffic. Knowing both defenders are so scared of her stepback, they both sellout on the roller.

The broadcasts are so different. The Sun's stream, you miss out on the aerial shots and Dame cameo.

Ok this is just silly amounts of gravity. Why are we doubling Paige Bueckers, when she doesn't even have the ball?

What is this action called? It's so hard to guard.

Jacy Sheldon gets 3 of the easiest steals I have ever seen

Brittney Sykes hang time so long, she blocks a 3pt shot with the back of her hand.

Cotie McMahon is a strange strange player

Natasha Mack airballs into a 720 no-scope Bonner

Aicha Coulibaly. Welcome to the W. Meet Alyssa Thomas.

The mics are amazing this season. Can hear the defense communicate.

[OC] Julie Vanloo hit 2 threes + assist. Let's talk about equations.

Kayla McBride battle scar

I believe in, "No such thing as a stupid question", but... "What happens if we triple team CC and AB" is a really stupid question.

Fever out here drawing star constellations

Thornton spends a whole possession tying her shoe. Valks decide to go 4v5. Rickea Jackson watching the scenery.

Emily Engstler is Stewie's mother

Lynx get their make up call! Alright, who do the Mercury play next? Let's make this a thing.
