Locked on Women’s Basketball: Seattle Storm training camp battles with Em Adler

On today’s Locked on Women’s Basketball episode, host Howard Megdal sits down with Em Adler for all things Seattle Storm training camp.

Em’s takeaways from Seattle’s preseason game versus the Los Angeles Sparks:

“The first thing that pops up is the chemistry. Obviously, Seattle, the core players were talking about the top seven or eight in the rotation, just in terms of who they’re playing with. But Epiphanny, who was basically the first one off the bench; was in place of Sue Bird. And they’re spreading the ball around a little bit more and a little more playmaking than you would normally expect. But I mean, even then, just the chemistry is just astounding.”

Em talks about the long season now with 36 games and how it affects Seattle:

“Last year, the storm, they kind of went to the finish line. Even when Stewie was still in the lineup, they had problems with fatigue. But they got off to such a hot start they were still able to host a home game, went to overtime almost won the game against eventual finals runner-up. That’s going to be huge this year.”
