WNBA Playoffs Thread

63-44 at the half. Vegas set another record, 11 3's is the most in any half in a WNBA payoff game.

DeShields and Kaela Davis going off for Phoenix. Pretty much everybody going off for Vegas.

Gray is playing out of her mind. I'm pretty sure she could close her eyes and toss something up from behind the arc, it's going in.

Wilson has been much better than in Game 1, but it's still the guards. Gray, Plum and Young have been tearing it up.

Phoenix Mercury had the toughest season ever

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces w/ 1 more record. 17 made 3's is the most in a WNBA playoff game ever. Starters will be resting for the 4th quarter...except Rupert took a shot to the face and is being evaluated for concussion, and now Stokes limped off the floor. Somebody has to play the rest of the game.

edit--never mind, they are rolling w/ a Lilliputian lineup, Plaisance and a bunch of guards

 

[nwhoopfan]

Chicago set a record for biggest margin of victory in a WNBA playoff game ever. Is it possible that record is only going to last a few hours? The Aces bench is going crazy, have extended the lead slightly to 37.

Sky's record survives by a single point. 117-80 final. Season high points for Vegas, even w/ the starters sitting out the 4th quarter. 23-36 shooting from 3 is insane.

edit--5 different players made at least 3; Gray was 7-8

Chelsea Gray was in a shooting zone! Wow!

Lordy. Check the basketball and rims for magnets

Mccowan benched, guess Dallas coach sending a message today.

 

[socal613ws]

and boy was that message sent

 

[eebmg]

Wow. Dallas dismantling CT. 76-47 after 3Q.

 

[nwhoopfan]

So far, all 3 Game 2's have been remarkably uncompetitive. Weird.

 

[eebmg]

If Dallas wins this series, does Arike come back?

 

[socal613ws]

If Dallas wins this series, does Arike come back?

regardless gone, team plays better when they put the ball on Mabrey, Mccowan might also be gone.

 

[bballnut90]

If Dallas wins this series, does Arike come back?

If healthy yes. Will it help them? I don't think so

Caught the 2nd half, Dallas looked incredible in the 3rd and early 4th. Amazing how good the ball movement is without Arike on the court. I still think Connecticut takes this but Dallas looked great through 33 minutes.


Connecticut's Bench made a massive run in the 4th, great effort specifically from Carrington who was everywhere and playing extremely hard while others were coasting. Glad we get to see a couple of game 3s this week, should be entertaining games.

Give Allisha Gray her flowers!! Scoring, passing, rebounding, defending playing 4-5 inches taller!! First Team All-Defense!!

 

[jchusky]

anyone with the last name Gray seems to do well

Greg Bibb needs to have a serious talk with Arike during her exit interview after this season. A great talent for sure, but her ball iso is a deterrent to the overall success of the team. I’ve been very impressed with the Wings and VJ during this past month.

They need to do whatever they can to hold on to Alisha Gray! If Reeve and USA basketball are smart, they’ll put her on the World Cup squad. Quality scorers are a dime a dozen, but her overall on court play, perimeter defense, and low maintenance personality will go a long way with that team.

I want her to leave and pursue better opportunities. She would be much better with a coach like Thibault, Hammon or Wade.

Nice start by Seattle. Sue in particular with a great 1st Q. 3-3 from 3, a no look pass, a steal, 2 rebounds etc in Q1

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jewell isn't waiting for the 4th quarter today, she's tearing it up. This time it's Stewie who isn't scoring much, but she's doing plenty of other things.

 

[eebmg]

45-43 Seattle at half. Should be nip and tuck to the end.
