This is all premature so it might be for nothing, but if Vegas wins tomorrow and makes the WNBA Finals, by the end of the playoffs A'ja Wilson will be top 5 in league playoff history in:
-points (either 3rd, 4th or 5th)
-rebounds (either 4th or 5th)
-blocks (either 2nd or 3rd)

If Vegas wins, Chelsea Gray will be playing in her 5th WNBA finals. I believe only Lindsay Whalen has more final appearances as a PG (she played in 8 WNBA Finals).

Lastly, she isn't acknowledged enough but DeWanna Bonner will be making her 4th Finals appearance and is currently:
-#2 in playoff history in points
-#1 in rebounds
-#1 in minutes
-#2 in steals
-#5 in blocks
-#10 in assists
What a storyline for the season hey? Things didn't work out in Indiana, dealt with injuries and having to adjust to a new role with the Mercury. That's resilience right there.
 
Game 5 tip in an hour. Deserted arena with the exception of about 400 Fever Fans all dressed in red. Mitchell didn't miss a shot in shoot around.

The grift that is Las Vegas. Parking at Mandalay Bay $40. I smuggled in my water so saved $10 there.

I think I got a decent deal last night on StubHub for my ticket and even though it's the very top row the I can see the court pretty well. Lexi seems to be struggling with her three. Sims hasn't missed a shot yet.

On the other end of the court Chelsea's doing some kind of weird shooting drill with an assistant coach. She stands in the paint on the left and right side parallel to the hoop and at the restricted area circle and shota as quick as she can. She's the only Ace out there

Try and start another "pay them!" chant.
Pretty, pretty please...for Phee's and the league's sake? 🥺

Hell of a season for Indiana. Not sure we’ve seen a team face as many injuries as they did in a very long time. Got to a fourth-string point guard, lost their starting wing, and pushed the Aces to the brink.

Steph White has had her share of critics but there should be far fewer of them now.

Get Clark and Mitchell healthy and get Boston to take the next step offensively and this team can win a title.
 
An absolutely heroic effort by the Fever but alas they came up short in OT. I think they now know what it takes to get to the finals and will be poised for future success as long as they can keep their core together.

I'll be praying that Mitchell's injuries are minor and that she can rest her body in the off-season.
 
Amazing game.

I'm not a serious W fan but I never am too impressed with the Aces' offense when I do tune in. But if they're going to make off balance contested threes at the end of shot clocks every time I guess it doesn't matter.

And they got torched by Sims which can't be good sign for the defense.

But maybe this can be title three for Wilson.

Hell of an effort by Indiana. I thought they still might get a shot to steal it with everyone out.
 
Congratulations to the Aces for the win, but I am beyond impressed with the teamwide effort by the Fever. It is extraordinary what they accomplished this year and a tribute to the players, front office and (in my mind), particularly, Stephanie White. Well done!
 
Also a heck of a job by Odyssey Sims joining the team late in season and helping them to within an OT battle of the finals. In the series she had one clunker in game 3 but besides that put up 27/18/18/17.

Free agency and CBA aside (two huge concessions, admittedly), Fever are going to have to make choices next year. Clark’s not going anywhere but both McDonald and Sims proved to be valuable, let alone serviceable, point guards. I’d keep both on the roster before Colson but Colson has a leaguewide reputation as a culture piece and strong veteran leader.
 
She didn’t wow anyone last night but the Aces’ turnaround isn’t overly far removed from NaLyssa Smith joining the team and if they end up winning the title I’m going to have to walk back some of the many things I’ve said about Vegas’ disaster of a front office
