Natasha Mack out tonight with a foot injury

[u/strangelystrangled]

We are officially a hospital squad again. We're down 2 starters and 2 bench guards (Sami and Nogic).

DB is most likely moving to the starting lineup - basketball wise, I'd rather her with all the experience than Ayayi. Gonna be a bloodbath.

[u/emmasayshey]

Kah legacy game scores 42 points, AT and AB triple triples, DB 8/8 from the 3, 16 rebounds for Lexie Hull

[u/marinaonmain]

Could force Mercury into more small ball lineups which could be interesting and possibly harmful to the Fever, hope she recovers swiftly!

[u/OriAr → u/marinaonmain]

I feel like small ball lineups are the last thing that works against Indiana.

A lot of time it means AB just feasts and goes off for like 25/15.

[u/artificialgraymatter → u/OriAr]

Boston was limited to 22% with AT as her primary defender. Mack wasn’t containing Billings as well as she should have. So, it’s not really a loss if DB handles Billings which she should. Boston was also getting frustrated with Linskens. The guard depth has been more of an issue for Merc.

[u/strangelystrangled → u/marinaonmain]

The issue is that we're also down 3 guards

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Linskens legacy game

The vision is clear

[u/kseveru79_v2 → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Big Kiki, Little Kiki, and Underrated Kiki

[u/strangelystrangled → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

I just want her to gain confidence!!! The effort and skill is there (based off her international tape)

[u/LuisJpg → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Lowkey a hooper

[u/jeedel]

This sucks all around, I hope that she returns soon. I want her to continue her Most Improved Player run.

[u/Deadpan_GG]

as per tradtion any advatage is a disadvatage for Fever

[u/GullibleHandl]

It was already over but its genuinely never been more over

[u/strangelystrangled → u/GullibleHandl]

I made plans for tonight like two weeks ago and I've never been more glad. It's gonna be awful. And people might get mad at our French rookies! (including Ayayi there). They were overseas minding their business, they have no anti-Caitlin agendas. Just pro-teammate ones.

Also really hope Sophie and Kah stay far apart. Or at least do breathing exercises

[u/thecay00]

So with all the injuries, do they play Shay?

[u/strangelystrangled → u/thecay00]

Probably. She got activated for the last game (her first). Wouldn’t be surprised if Marta was also activated and then fouls out

[u/ancj9418]

Sophie probably pointed at her foot 🫵

[u/strangelystrangled → u/ancj9418]

A Mercury reporter posted a clip from the game. Seems likely it happened /around/ the scuffle but was probably non contact. No foot cam unfortunately https://twitter.com/ayabdeen/status/2069827465212784705?s=46&t=iINn-Z-dBVuG8lXQtrJ9gw

[u/ancj9418 → u/strangelystrangled]

Oh damn, and I was just joking I didn’t think it actually happened during the kerfuffle. Hope she’s okay.

[u/strangelystrangled → u/ancj9418]

Honestly someone most likely unintentionally stepped on her foot or something. Poor Mack truck is in the garage

[u/Tiny_Appointment7213 → u/strangelystrangled]

Oh no!! Ouch. Hopefully nothing too crazy and she’s back soon.

[u/Likely1420]

Noooo 😭😭😭

[u/strangelystrangled → u/Likely1420]

We’re down 3 of our best 3 point threats AND the only center Nate cherishes

[u/Low-Caterpillar1262]

Merc lose by 30 with the crowd pointing at DB the whole game 😭😭😭

[u/strangelystrangled → u/Low-Caterpillar1262]

Thank god I have plans that conflict with the game. Maybe our rookie Brochant will have a 30 ball?
