Playoffs resume tonight. Would love to see each series extended to 5 games. My predictions are Chicago closes out CT. The sun just don’t look the same, and a big part of that to me is surrounding the play of Jonquel Jones and how CT uses her. And I predict the Storm bounce back and protect home court. I expect them to come out with a purpose, as this could be the last game of Bird’s career. They desperately need Loyd to play 40 full minutes of high level basketball.

Ultimately I think it will be a showdown of Vegas and Chicago in the finals. Really a toss up. Of the two I’d prefer to see Vegas get their first championship.

I'm still not clear on Coach Miller's explanation as to why she sat so long. Will be interesting to see what happens tonight.
 
CT out to 20-6 lead. Lets not blow it.

Can see Chicago and Connecticut going to five games.
Will give Las Vegas extra rest, Gabby and Tina should have sat in O/T, and gone With Ezi and Talbot.
Tina played halfway decent 1st game with 18 rebounds, but isn't good enough on offense or defense at this stage of her life to be playing excess minutes.
Gabby should play better this game, Ezi should start and get major minutes.
Tina would be better in less minutes, but giving all out effort coming off the bench, with Talbot.
If Quinn isn't gone after the season ends, Stewie, Ezi, and Talbot need to move on.
 
When did the Sun turn into an offensive juggernaut? Chicago is so perplexing. Just can't stay focused for very long. They were much better in the regular season this year compared to last, but '21 playoffs version of the Sky was hands down better than '22 version.
 
Wilson just had probably the worst pass in WNBA history.
 
.-.
Crazy 3pt shot make by Jewell to end an 8-0 Aces run at 1st Q buzzer. Maybe some one will actually help Stewie out after all.
 
Seattle seems determined to take away Gray, she only has 1 shot attempt. But its allowing Plum to just waltz to the rim, she had 10 in Q1.

Made their layups tonight. Just bull rushed them the entire game.
 
Tina missed another 2FT's. Totally unexpected that she would get the yips. :confused:
 
Hamby is back...but she definitely doesn't look ready. Totally rusty, bringing them nothing.
 
.-.
I don't understand why Hammon has abandoned Plaisance. Most of the season she was their best reserve. Now she doesn't play AT ALL.
 
In a series that has seen some great individual performances, Stewie is taking it to another level. She almost has 30 at halftime, can't hardly miss.
 
Okay Gray, what's w/ forcing a shot when you have 3 defenders on you? That means 2 of your teammates were wide open.
 
Stewie unbelievable but cant do it all. Come on Storm, give an MVP some help

Stewie is DESTROYING Wilson so far tonight.

And if she wasn't, Seattle could be losing at this point. Wilson still has 10 points and at least 5 rebounds too.

Question is who helps Stewart keep Seattle ahead? They can't maintain a significant lead.

When I wrote that, Stewie had 13 and Wilson was scoreless on 0-4 shooting.
 
.-.
What the heck? Plum has to break out of her 3 point shooting slump at some point. 5-26 this series. She was 6-13 in Round 1 of the playoffs.
 
Seattle crumbling. 62-54 Aces. Storm guards are being manhandled pretty good. Come back to NY Stewie.

Understood but she shouldn't be the one doing all the heavy lifting. Yes, Vegas has to go through her, but it has to be a complete Storm effort to win.
 
and with Gray coming alive and Breanna missing a few shots now, not going to be pretty in 4th :(
 
Stewie and Loyd have 50 of the Storm's 59 points. Bird looks like she's tired, I had a feeling Game 3 took a lot out of her.

I was starting to think she finally looked like a mere mortal again, and there she goes at the end of the quarter.

Huh? They can call a common foul after a review if they didn't call one originally?

That really could've been a flagrant 1 against Wilson AND Williams, they both made contact to the other's face.
 
Young is stepping up this game, kudos to her.

Plum has gotten so totally non aggressive. She was getting to the rim any time she wanted in the first half, now she's not even trying.

Who's gonna blink? This one has been remarkably back and forth for several minutes now. This has been quite a series.
 
Oh well,. Gray stuck the blade in :(:(:(
