WNBA Finals - who you got?

[nwhoopfan]

She was already there before Game 1.

Yeah, but 3 time Champ plus 4 time MVP just puts her more over the top. Imagine where she'll be in another 5 years or so provided she stays healthy.

For that matter Gray is on the verge of becoming a 4 time Champ, which puts her in very elite company.

-leading scorer and go to player on every team she's been on

Ahem...2022 Kelsey Plum 20.2 ppg A'ja Wilson 19.5 ppg.

I'm not blown away by her to be honest, but the results will play.

But having the best team will tend to do that.

Unless you are Sandy Brondello. Then having the best team (or best players at least) only occasionally results in a Championship.

The All WNBA teams have been announced. No surprises on the First team.

Surprised no comments here about how Sabally was helped(or not helped) after her concussion-producing injury last night. Plenty of strong criticism flying around about lack of stretcher or even a wheelchair. Very sad watching her being helped(almost carried) off the court. And a pathetic, rambling explanation by the Phoenix coach today.

Both Ionescu and Bueckers over Plum? Nah, not having it. LA disappointed, but Dallas was terrible, and NY also underachieved significantly. Sabrina was up, down and all over the place. Plum was ahead of both in scoring and assists. Bueckers may have shot better but Ionescu was worse. KP led them all in 3 point%, Bueckers had the best overall FG%. Ionescu was not good in either category. Like I said, that's a big NOPE from me.

I think you have a good case for KP > Sabs and a weak one vs Bueckers. Paige had a shoe string cast, an in over his head coach, and was 100 percent the focus of defenses when Arike was out. And she still shot over most of them. I know, I watched her torch us. Oh, and if memory serves, she was one of the league's steals leader. Her D is legit.

KP was stuffing stats but honestly wasn't all that impressive to watch and she had a really strong supporting cast that spread the floor really well... And yet they had the same exact post season outcomes...

Congrats, Las Vegas!! The new dynasty! Great win. Great season. Great playoff run. Phoenix? Well done as well. Nobody expected you guys to make it this far. The whole season it was my beloved Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty. Out of nowhere we had Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. Las Vegas was a mystery all season. Atlanta and Phoenix, along with Golden State, were those surprise teams. Well done Phoenix and to the Mercury fans. Great season.

Aja has passed Stewie as the best player of this era. No real argument for Stewie atp imo.

Sabrina shouldn’t have gotten it. She faded the same way New York faded. Sabrina the greatest shooter in the game, right? She shot less than 30% from 3 this season. I would have Plum over Sabrina. I like Paige being there. She had better stats than basically every guard.

No love for the surprising Fever who took the Aces too the limit?

College and pro career combined? There’s still a case for Stewie

Did you all hear that crowd boo when Kathy presented the trophy? 🤣

Did you all hear that crowd boo when Kathy presented the trophy? 🤣

Yeah, it’s not a survivable situation for her at this point. I haven’t seen one fan defend her, let alone anyone associated with the league.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Is 19 FTA a record for a Finals game? That's a lot. Especially considering she was only 7-21 from the field. Another playoff triple double for AT.

Probably won't get talked about much, but Loyd and Evans gave fairly solid contributions off the bench throughout the series.
