2025 WNBA Regular Season

[GamecockFam]

Fever would have to lose both for the Sparks to finish higher.

Final records with your expected results.
Fever are 19-18, going 4-3 in their last 7, they would finish 23-21
Sparks are 17-18, going 5-4 in their last 9, they would finish 22-22

I was making my own prognostications off of the provided lists. Yes, I am aware that would put the Fever one game ahead. I don't see the Fever making the playoffs in any tiebreaker scenarios over the Valkyrie or Sparks... whether that be a 2- or 3- way tie.

Hats off to Las Vegas! Two weeks ago, many folks were writing them off, questioning Coach Hammon and her coaching skills, and questioning the front office. Now they are the hottest & the most dangerous team in the WNBA.

Wilson's out of this world run she's on are making Hammon and the front office look much better.

Burton certainly was great and Paige's shot was off, but Burton didn't have to contend with constant double and triple teams while being "supported" by the gang who couldn't shoot straight...

Play d if you held a gun to their heads

A great reflection of perseverance, maturity, and of course coaching. Like Sandy Brondello, Becky faces skepticism from some members of the BY

There is a reason that both have won multiple championships.

As we approach the end of the regular season it'll be interesting to see where the million dollar coach stands in relation to these two as well as in my book the COY from Atlanta

Stewie w/ a bit more rust than her pal Napheesa, 4-12 shooting in her return. But there was no rust on the Stewie friendly whistle, 13 FT attempts in the game. That's one way to score points when your shot isn't falling. Lib eek out a 2 point win over the Sun.

Wow, Stewie shot 1 less FT than the entire Sun team.

Is Brondello doing load management? Ionescu missed last game, back tonight. Cloud missed this one.

Cloud took a hit to the nose in their previous game. Was listed as a game time decision for tonight but that got downgraded.

Tough night for teams you would think were favored to win by quite a bit. Aces survive a somewhat sub par night from A'ja and get a narrow win over the Sky.

Wow. Ariel Atkins goes off for 30 on 10-18 shooting from the field and 7-7 from the line, but not enough to keep Las Vegas from winning their 11th straight, 79-74. Jackie Young leads Vegas with 22 on 9-14 overall shooting (4-6 from three) and 7 assists.

Not to mention Reese and Cardoso both had double doubles. Plenty went right for Chicago...but unfortunately they didn't get much in the way of contributions outside of those 3, including the 2 other starters.

Does anyone else think it's kinda weird that Chicago retired Candace Parker's jersey? Yes she helped them win a Title...but she only played 2 seasons with them. Huh?

Okay, here's a weird thing i noticed recently. Chelsea Gray has now been with Vegas for as long as she was with LA. That just doesn't seem possible to me.

 

[JstVisiting]

IF the Aces win their next two (at Atlanta, vs Minnesota), they could and maybe even should enter the postseason as the betting favorite. Would have to be a first for a team 6 games out of 1st.

Wilson's out of this world run she's on are making Hammon and the front office look much better.

And when Wilson (and the rest of the team) is having a bad stretch, do many, especially folks in the Yard, give Coach Hammon and the front office that same energy?

Kind of, but I figured part of the reason behind it was because she's a Chicago native. She did accomplish her goal of helping them win their first title too.

I misread this as Aerial Powers goes off for 30 on 10-19 shooting from the field and 7-7 from the line, and I thought, "Man, if she can keep that up, she and Kelsey Mitchell are going to be a dangerous combo for the Fever!" (Did I mention I didn't get much sleep last night?)

People (myself included) were straight up dragging Coach Hammon and the team leading up to the All-Star break, so I think that is enough evidence to point to yes. People were saying that Hammon lost her talented assistant coaches and is now exposed as a fraud ... the Aces need to retain A'ja and Jackie and start over next season ... Loyd is past her prime and was a bad trade ... etc.

I'm still dragging her. Vegas has had the easiest schedule since the all-star break. And Wilson has been carrying the team for the most part. I don't think they are any better than they were before the all-star break

An 11 game winning streak, including over 3 of the top 5 teams in the league (NY, Atlanta and Phoenix X2) and you don't think they are any better than when they were hovering around .500? Okay, that's a hot take.
