2025 WNBA Regular Season

[GamecockFam]

There should be some fun games tonight! Every game but the Mystics/Liberty game could be pretty consequential to seeding. With a Storm win tonight, the door is shut for LA. With a Storm loss, LA would have to win all remaining games to edge out the Storm for the #8 seed.

Dijonai has been great in Minnesota. But Rae Burrell is kinda who I thought Dijonai was. I'm super surprised by her game. I remember Azzi actually complimenting her on her draft night, though Azzi had dropped like 25 on Tennessee as a freshman. I tend to pay attention to who player's appreciate. Also maybe last year Lexie Brown spoke highly of her and said she's ridiculously athletic. And yeah, that's what she is. Super high motor, very athletic. But I actually thought she was a shooter in college, and she had some unfortunate injury stuff so I never thought of her as crazy athletic. Anyways I know Veronica Burton has MIP wrapped up but I would give Rae some votes. I'm pretty happy for her.

Per Ryan Ruoco, Wilson has become the slight betting favorite for MVP.

In terms of the championship, I think Vegas could beat Minnesota. But several teams have a chance.

LA won, but about the same time so did Seattle. So Sparks FINALLY officially eliminated from playoff contention, even though it's seemed like a foregone conclusion for several weeks. @TheFarmFan were you getting back at me somehow for all my jinxes, by having your Valks lose?

Kind of a wasted season for the team, but Hamby has been really really good down the stretch. 25 pts/9 reb tonight. Another triple double for AT.

Wheeler hit 5 treys plus the winning bucket, then got a key rebound after 2 GS shots for the potential win.

🤬Are you taunting me? We want that danged sixth seed, and now we need to beat the Lynx on Thursday so we don’t have to play them AGAIN next week…

Hamby was really good. Azura had a nice season. Burrell looks like a solid bench player. Brink should be healthy. Rickea looks like a player. And Plum is really good. I think they make the playoffs next year.

I think the Valkyries can compete with anyone. They were tough at Seattle tonight.

They really should've made the playoffs this year. I'd add Allemand to the list of keepers, she was fairly solid after coming back from EuroBasket.

Golden State will be the 6 or 7 seed, so your team will be facing either Atlanta or Vegas. Because of the tie breakers against Seattle, Golden State cannot be 8th no matter the outcomes on Thursday. The 1/8 and 4/5 matchups are locked in (Lynx/Storm, Mercury/Liberty).

With a win, Golden State will be the 6 seed and with a loss the 7 seed.

Likewise, with a win against the Sparks or an Atlanta loss tomorrow the Aces will be the 2 seed. Atlanta will need a win tomorrow and an Aces loss on Thursday to be the 2 seed.

I don't think that's right. Seattle has the tie breaker over us and if we lose on Thursday, our records are the same and they get the tiebreaker and we fall to 8th.

I'm fairly certain Cheryl has been tanking and playing hard specifically to get Seattle out of her way in the first round if possible. I think they're a more dangerous matchup for the Lynx than we are, and Cheryl must agree given who she's sitting out when.
