WNBA Playoffs Thread

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

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

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.

Why is Sue retiring again? :confused:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Keep posting, please.

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