Def did not get fouled when she threw a fit to the floor
Look for her to bounce back in a big way in game 2. Is it a case of Duke on Duke violence?
I think I should retire from making WNBA predictions until 2031
The best team does not always win it all.The winner of the Aces-Mystics will win the W finals. Those are far and away the two best teams..

Side note--based on Parker getting benched and her general body language on the bench today, I will be surprised if she plays for Fisher next season. Guessing her overall struggles were in part due to coaching change, and getting benched to finish the year isn't going to sit well with her. Plus when you factor in that LA has SO many posts, including some promising young ones in Vadeeva/Brown and the Ogwumike's being a packaged deal, one of them has to go since they badly need help on the wing and Parker might be the right choice.
The CT defense won the game for the most part.I quit watching early in Q1. Unbelievable how bad LA was in this series. Nneka the only player that showed up. Parker's on again off again routine is par for the course, but who would've expected Gray to be this bad 3 games in a row? Time to blow up the team and start over?
Box scores don't tell you everything, but looks like pretty much Jasmine Thomas and Courtney Williams won this game, Sun didn't get much else from anybody else. Some bench players chipped in but the other 3 starters didn't produce much. Well now Connecticut gets to rest for a while. Mystics don't look as unbeatable as I thought thru most of the season. Maybe this will but the Sun's year rather than the Mystics'.
Honestly more than anything it seems like there is a major disconnect between Fisher and his players. He flat out gave up on his team today and they just looked uninspired. I questioned his coaching at the beginning of the season and I think this series and overall poor play by the Sparks has as much to do with him as it has to do with any individual players.
