WNBA Playoffs - week of September 9

[BRS24]

Here we go, hoop fans. The last week of the regular season, with SEA and LA still in contention for the 8th spot. IND clinched today.

SEA has one game this week, a win gets them to 23-22. LA has games vs PHX and LV, so if my math is correct, if SEA wins, they get 8th place, however LA at 20-22 could tie them with two wins. Rather than wade thru the tiebreak morass, I'll wait until after Tuesday's games, lol.

Seattle clinches the 8th spot with its win last night. There could be a bit more movement in standings over the last 5 games today/tomorrow. Here are my guesses (without getting my PhD in tiebreakers):

Solidly put - MIN
Mini shuffle possible - LV & ATL, PHX & NYL, IND & GS or GS & SEA

1 Minnesota Lynx 33-10
2 Las Vegas Aces 29-14
3 Atlanta Dream 29-14
4 Phoenix Mercury 27-16
5 New York Liberty 26-17
5 Indiana Fever 24-20
7 Golden State Valkyries 23-20
8 Seattle Storm 23-21

9 above .500 teams in a 13 team league says those bottom 4 were really bad. Mainly the bottom 3.

Ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one that looks for bell curves. 😆
