not a fan of Seattle at all, won't sh0ck me if they lose this game and game 3 in Washington. No reason to be up 2 at half, they fall apart at stretches just too inconsistent for my liking.

As an Aces fan I’m scared of the Storm, but given the Mystics swept LV 3-0 I guess I have no real choice but to root for them.

My gut says the winner of the likely Aces-Storm series wins it all.

The Storm has outclassed the Mystics in this game. Better luck next year with their high draft choice added.

That's how I see it. Either way they were going to be facing a really tough opponent, but clearly they matched up better w/ Seattle than Washington during the season.

This didn't age well.

Bad news for Seattle, Gabby is now on concussion protocol.

A win will help.

I missed what happened. Anyone know?

Before the playoffs started, I figured Seattle-Washington was the most likely to go 3 games. Well, I was wrong. Two series are going to a third game, and this ain't one of them.

 

[socal613ws]

she wasn't bad, but I worry Delle Donne is never going to be the same again in back 2 back games.
Credit to the storm for winning in 2, but I don't see how they beat Vegas.

This didn't age well.

didn't say it would happen, won't matter Vegas will squash them

Sue sure doesn't look like a player about to retire. Amazing.

 

[eebmg]

Why is Sue retiring again?

 

[Waquoit]

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

Best seats I ever had for a hoop game and it was wasted on that steaming pile. Just brutal.

Why is Sue retiring again?

Honestly both her and Syl look great out there. Happy for the both of them but selfishly I wish both stuck around another year or 2.

Both DT and Parker are likely retiring soon too. We will potentially have 4 of the all time greats retiring in a very short time frame. Those 4 have combined for 11 of the last 19 WNBA championships.

Same prediction here. Seattle looks title worthy right now as they're finding much better balance offensively than they did during much of the regular season. Williams and Magbegor were huge the last 2 games, I hope Gabby is able to recover fully by the semis.

At least they made a good run in 4th Q to make it look like a game.

The final nail in the coffin. Something Paige would do.

 

[UConnCat]

said it a month ago, Seattle was not a title contender. Team just too inconsistent night to night.

Keep posting, please.

 

[UConnCat]

Ugh. Get well Gabby.

The nail after the nail

 

[JellyBean]

Seattle looked great out there! Offensively and defensively. That Vegas/Seattle series is going to be nice to watch. Can not wait!

 

[JellyBean]

Ugh. Get well Gabby.

Definitely. Gabby is Seattle's X factor.

 

[eebmg]

I think it will come out that EDD was not 100%. She looked nothing like game 1 and her movement was slow and clunky.

 

[Kaizen]

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think Gabby got whacked in the face in Q3 and rubbed it a few times, though she stayed in the game. I hope it is not serious. She was really good again today. Trying to defend Cloud, Atkins, and EDD is a huge task.
