WNBA Playoffs Thread

Plum misses a pair of good looks from 3 that could've tied it. A bit of a headscratched why they didn't run a play for a Gray who was had a good shooting game and has a long history of making clutch baskets

Wilson pulled a disappearing act. That's starting to become a habit for her in the playoffs. Plum took some bad shots, but at least she did some scoring. I thought Vegas was gonna steal this one after getting outplayed most of the game, but Loyd was huge down the stretch. Bird's assist/TO ratio has been ridiculous the last 2 games (22/1).

Vegas done overrated team

I am sure that it will be a topic of discussion at some point. But with so many options that Vegas has, I am sure they are cool with Plum taking those shots. Fail fast and move on. We will see what develops in Game 2.

Until 4th Q when Jewell really saved our bacon. I would have loved her to sink that dagger 3 to put them up 6 .

Yup. I think Stewie closed the lid on the League MVP box. I think the conversation was between her and Wilson. I agree with @nwhoopfan, Wilson disappears at some of the most crucial moments. This was a game; I was expecting Wilson to show up and show that "Competitive Greatness". Make a statement that you are going to be a force in the League. Definitely shocked in Wilson's play in this game. Hopefully this game sparks that fire in her for the next one and the rest of the series. We know it is there. She just has to want it more. But I do think Stewie may have wrapped up the MVP

The MVP is for the regular season. The playoffs don’t count

Sue has 22 assists and 1 TO in the last 2 playoff games. On the TO, she lost the ball when getting mugged and not getting the call. She's playing her very best basketball.

You get physical with Wilson. she clanks alot of shots. Tina was leaning on her all game

 

[JellyBean]

u do realize Vegas had more days off right?

Yup. I do realize that. But you would think that even with those extra days off, you would want to come out making a statement that the title is yours. I am sure the Aces will bounce back in Game 2.

Don't forget she is probably making up the game plans

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stokes has been playing well since moving into the starting lineup...but not today. Some really bad TOs. Seattle gambled leaving her alone and she didn't make them pay. She clanked at least 3 layups and a few WIDE open jump shots. They need Hamby back.

 

[jchusky]

games like this is why Plum is not a superstar. She's a solid player, but to say she was in Mvp consideration was laughable.

Sue is on a mission to go out with one last ring…..

I wish her and Syl both had another season (or 2) in them. Both are playing very high level basketball still.

Wilson still might be the MVP, and she was way less impactful than Plum. Not a superstar? She was second in the league in scoring, hit the second most 3s in a season ever, etc. etc.

Does anybody else play for Chicago other than Parker? The announcers ONLY want to talk about her constantly. Parker this and Parker that. If you had a drinking game every time her name was dropped you'd be drunk in 5 minutes.

 

[JellyBean]

Shaping up to be another close game. Just a matter of which team finds their shooting groove first. I got my money on Chicago.

 

[eebmg]

CT wins, our UConn huskies can see a game or 2 live.

 

[eebmg]

Got to hand it to her. Candace Parker playing really inspired ball.

They are still at or near their peaks. They aren’t coasting or over the hill one bit.

 

[eebmg]

CT playing some rugged inspired defense to take an 8pt lead into 4th Q.

 

[eebmg]

Got to hand it to her. Candace Parker playing really inspired ball.

First player in WNBA history 15 pts, 15 Rebounds, 5 Assists and 5 blocks but cant drain a game tying 3pt shot. Rough. Alot of subpar Chicago performances Quigley and Vandersloot were awful.

You think maybe her 19pts 18rbs 5as and 6 blks had something to do with it?
