WNBA Playoffs Thread

anyone else think this Wnba long drought is a bad idea? Feels like some of the momentum has been killed, hopefully doesn't translate in games, but idk why Vegas had to wait 9 days to play.
 
I was hoping Gabby would have been able to play in this first game. Hoping that she will be cleared for the second game. Both series will be interesting to watch but I am really looking forward to this series. So many interesting matchups, even with the substitution patterns.
 
High quality 1st half. Seattle up 43-36. Nice battle between Stewie and Gray with contested makes before half. Special mention to Tina with 12 Rebounds at the half. 5 Off and Sue with 6 Assists and 0 TO's. Half time show burpingly tilted to Aces. :rolleyes:

This Seattle/Las Vegas series is shaping up to be a battle. To be honest, I was not expecting Seattle to be this sharp, especially after that long layoff. I was expecting Vegas to be on the attack from the jump. Going to be a nice series.

u do realize Vegas had more days off right?
 
Sue has 2 pts but 7 asts. ....great performance
Storm 49 - 43, mid of 3Q.
 
Hmm. Can Tina go 20 / 20? 11pts / 16 Rebounds 6 minutes left in 3Q

Maybe but the rebounds are a lot less impressive when a big chunk of them are misses of her own layups. Seattle definitely missing Gabby.

I seemed to have jinxed it anyway. Aces take the lead :oops:

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).

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.

Stewie looking like the real MVP

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

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

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.

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.

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