2024 WNBA Season: Playoffs

[nwhoopfan]

Everyone but Stewie played awful in game 3. They need everyone to contribute if they want to avoid a game 5.

Stewie was hot for the first 10 minutes of the game, then went ice cold. Started 4-4, then went 3-13 the rest of the way. I don't think you can really elevate her above the rest of the team. Also I wouldn't describe JJ or Fieibich as awful.

Are we watching the same play offs? One game where Vegas played a heck of a loy better defence was the reason behind this. Ionescu's performance throughout the play offs has been much better than what she was last season.

Sabrina has been great in the playoffs up to this point, but they need her playing at her best to win a championship.
Sabrina, Stewie, and Jones, at least 2 of those 3 need to play well, and the bench needs to perform if the Liberty want to win the Championship.

Yes but players have bad games. It happens even with the stars. At the same time, kudos has to go to Vegas for doing a good job in limiting her effectiveness Friday night.

When did Ruocco and Lobo get so blatantly biased? They are complaining about pretty much every call that goes against New York. It's really bad and obvious.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow Vegas is just awful today. Nobody can hit a shot. Stewie and Ionescu pretty much beat them just between the two of them. Pretty pitiful way for the defending champs to bow out.

Liberty advance .... greater depth than the Aces. Colson exemplifies the challenges in the LV roster. Congrats to SB and her squad.

 

[Blueballer]

Vegas goes down. Happy for Stewie and her team.

JJ running into Sandy was the funniest shi I ever seen.

And to think that Fiebich might not have been playing for the Liberty had Sabally not convinced her to come to the WNBA. She's been key to the Liberty's success this season.

Enjoy the “Connecticut” Sun while you can. I fear it will soon be the Boston or New England (based in Boston) Sun. WNBA growth will necessitate major city franchises.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Dorka had been hurt for 3 or 4 games and is just back healthy again!
And Diamond Miller is still hurt and has missed at least 6 games!
I'm hoping CT can pull this 4th game out and go to a 5th winner-take-all game!

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

If anyone from the Liberty should be getting questioned about their playoff performance, it's Laney-Hamilton. Her scoring is barely over half of what she scored in the regular season, and her shooting percentages are awful.

nwhoopfan- - -Laney-Hamilton was hurt and missed at least 5 to 6 games!
She's under Doctor's orders to only play in 5 minute clips to guard against a repeat on her knee!
She's at 1/2 strength!

They were made aware earlier and acknowledged the oversight.

Semi round really went according to plan showing greater distance between the one and four seeds than between the two and three seeds.

SB demonstrated her coaching acumen and Hands-On style in the previously mentioned kerflunckle with JJ.

That said the semis did have the four best coaches demonstrating their skill and acumen. We'll have the two premier coaches in the league facing off in the finals

And in game 4?

 

[nwhoopfan]

We get a deciding game 5 in the other series. Not even sure who I think will win that one. Do know this much--Collier will need more help. Only 2 starters in double figures, that doesn't cut it.

 

[JellyBean]

My Lynx just could not close it out today. Ty Harris is a problem! Hopefully the Lynx step up and close things out Tuesday.

Tuesday is going to be a grind for both teams. Factor in a short turnaround with the Liberty resting at home. Whew.......who ever wins will be tested big time.

It will be interesting to see how Cheryl Reeves schemes up for the final game of her semi. Minnesota fans need to be concerned about an offensively challenged Sun squad that put 92 on the Lynx hitting 53% from the field including three land. The Sun also have an intangible as they may not be able to bring the band back together next year. Game 5 is certainly going to be a blast watch.

More to the point lack of defense didn't cut it.

Gray, Young, and Plum were all All-World last year. They have been inconsistent this season. Even A'ja's superlative play wasn't enough for Vegas to make the finals.

Hammon has said or at least intimated that players were focused on other things this year and were not hungry enough.

The Sun got 45 points from their guards!

 

[GoUconn7961]

I guess Breanna Stewart, and the Liberty, haven't forgotten Becky's taunting words at the end of last season.
Oh well.

Still no idea who I want to see get to the finals between the Sun & Lynx. I guess the Lynx (with 2 UConn players). I'd love a matchup between Phee and Stewie again.

 

[Dillon77]

Dorka had been hurt for 3 or 4 games and is just back healthy again!
And Diamond Miller is still hurt and has missed at least 6 games!
I'm hoping CT can pull this 4th game out and go to a 5th winner-take-all game!

You got your wish!

 

[GamecockFam]

I can't decide which team I want to see win. On the one hand, the Sun have my Gamecocks Tiffany Mitchell and Ty Harris but I enjoy watching the Lynx style of play more than the Sun.
