Three words come to mind when you see this picture...........CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN!!!

 

[Kaizen]

Now the question is can she and the Storm repeat? Which is harder, to win the first one, or to repeat and win another one back-to-back?

Hope next year SEA can get either KLS or Napheesa, then yes I think they can repeat.

Funny question to Stewie. 'You have been known to guarantee multiple championships, will you do it again?'

Stewie's response. Let us enjoy this one, next season, we will set goals and expectations. Good maturity.

Nice to see SEA has this for Howard ... she deserves some

 

[Kaizen]

Nice to see SEA has this one to Sam also .... she is good.

Did anyone consider that, bless her heart, Mercedes Russell will be getting a ring?

Yes, everyone will get a ring. I think she will be better next year ...

This was too easy for Seattle. Was EDD too hurt to truly be effective? If that's the case, then she should rest and get well, and let someone else who can play go to the World Championships.

EDD was hurt, but still pretty good. She can't practice, but she can play and says she has 6 months to recover.

Now the question is can she and the Storm repeat? Which is harder, to win the first one, or to repeat and win another one back-to-back?

Sue won in 2004, 2010, and 2018. She's due again in 2028.

Natasha has 2 in a row. No one else in the league has won the last 2.

Sue is good at dropping dimes and popping champagne.

Just a few thoughts:

That was a great WNBA season. The depth and quality of play was the best ever, not to mention the parity.

My God, Natasha Howard must have studied Sylvia the past 2 seasons. Her footwork is outstanding. And she hits 3-pointers. But why is she not in the USA pool?

The Phoenix series was the de facto Finals. Washington is good, but Diana in God/GOAT mode is the biggest challenge.

Sue and Stewie are an amazing combination. Sue and the GOAT now have 3 WNBA rings. Stewie has 1. It will not be her last.

Jewell was replaced again in crunch time. That's not a good sign. I'm not fully comfortable with her on Team USA.

Who spends more time together--Geno and Kathy Auriemma or Stewie and Holly Rowe?

Someone please put a mask on Sue before she gets hit by a flying cork.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

I also think Sue and Stewie just finalized their spots in the HOF.

 

[nwhoopfan]

What a monster game for Howard, wow! Of course Stewie was great too. Big contributions from Clark and Whitcomb had a nice run in the 4th quarter. Nice double double for Sue. Washington showed a lot of heart getting the lead down to 6 (I think?) after being down 18. But Seattle finished strong to seal it. Entertaining game.

The Mystics are more formidable if EDD does not suffer that injury. She answered the bell, but you could tell she was not the same as before the injury.

She is the only consistent player on the team. Toliver can be erratic at times. She'll give you 25 one night, and 5 the next. The Mystics are one player away from being serious championship contenders.

Notice KML didn’t get off the bench.
The 3 pick in 2015. Worst draft in years. Players in that draft stunk.
WNBA Draft 2015 - WNBA.com - Official Site of the WNBA

Natasha Howard was 11-14 shooting in the game. Great offense and bounce but lousy D by Delle Donne, Hines-Allen etc

Sue won in 2004, 2010, and 2018. She's due again in 2028.

The real shocker is this is Sue Birds first winning team since 2011.

Did anyone consider that, bless her heart, Mercedes Russell will be getting a ring?

It’s all about the company you keep...

 

[RockyMTblue2]

No, no she will not.

Enigmatic. Sue is not running in 2020? She will not eat green eggs and ham? Whitcomb won't be special? Mulkey will not do a bra toss this season?
