WBNA Playoffs - here we go!

Fever pull out a 2 point win. First playoff series win in quite a while.

Indiana closed the game on a 7-0 run. The last few Atlanta possessions were not good.

The Aces game is a nail-biter.

The Aces game is a nail-biter.

I don’t see how anyone can watch the Aces play and think anyone but A’ja Wilson is the MVP. If they drop this series, wouldn’t blame her for fighting her entire team in the locker room.

Wow, Vegas BARELY gets past Seattle. These playoffs have been interesting to say the least so far.

Wilson w/ a huge game, 38 points, more than half of the Aces' total, but Young comes up with the game winner.

Smith and Bell combined for...2 points. Stokes didn't even play, but still getting the same kind of production from some of the starters.

Go Fever! Go Aces! Two of the last 5 standing. One more to be decided tomorrow. I was sad to see the Dream lose after such a stellar season but someone has to lose.

On the other hand, the Storm massively underachieved this season. I think the organization may need to rethink their strategy. Maybe they should pull a Sun and wipe the slate clean and start over. They have a good group of players but I highly doubt they'll win a championship with this core group. Something clearly isn't working and I think it is a mixture of the coaches and players.

I hope this solidifies that a 1-1-1 format is far superior to 2-1. Every series has had fantastic games so far which wasn't the case last season where home teams went 8-0.

Congrats to the Fever for pulling out a massive win on the road and their first series win in 10 years. Putting up a 24:6 A/TO ratio with their 4th different PG this year is unbelievably good, props to Odyssey Sims for filling in so well.

Also, I'm shocked at how close the Storm/Aces game was. Aces nearly get bounced in the first round after winning 17 straight games. Wild stuff. If the Aces reach the WNBA Finals this year, there's a good chance A'ja will climb as high as #3 all time in career playoff points by the end of the season at just 29 years old.

I agree. I liked the playoff format change from the 2-1 to the 1-1-1 setup. Just a great feeling to see the lower seeded teams fanbase come out strong and support their teams. Plus, the games were very competitive. Well done, WNBA.

No dog in the fight whatsoever, but you are already way behind Golden State and Portland in both mascot and logo. They have a couple of the strongest combinations I have seen in any sport.

Tempo is turrbul. Name and logo look like something from a Nintendo game that couldn't get afford the licensing agreement.

I was referring to the crowd size in this case.

The team name and logo is another matter entirely. They definitely whiffed on that. 😆 😭My only hope is that someone finds a way to redesign it in the future. The Raptors original logo wasn't a hit either but fortunately MLSE got someone to redesign it into something cool.

Blame it on these darn "help us name our team" campaigns. It gave us both the Raptors and now the Tempo. So help me if Toronto lands another expansion team..................we never seem to learn from our mistakes in this area. 😉
