I thought this was a good analysis of the Las Vegas Aces in the playoffs

What do the Aces do now?

Bill Laimbeer has won championships as a coach. But is has been 13 years since the Detroit Shock won their last championship. The Aces have not performed as well in the playoffs as their regular se…

Alot of words to say 1) Stokes is invisible and gives BG less resistance than the wind and
2) Plum must start.

No brainers.

Some members of the Dream had a bit of a disagreement with some members of the Atlanta community while at a Food Truck. Its trending on Twitter. I would say more, but I aint trying to get banned before the season starts.

Apparently, that "bit of a disagreement" reasonated very strongly with Atlanta Dream ownership. And not in a good way for two members of that team. Here's an article:

There's been a lot of talk about expansion, but right now league management should make sure one of its current members doesn't blow itself up. Geesh.
 
Vandersloot out quickly with 2 3pt makes Up 9-2 early

Maybe she's not sorry January is out w/ an injury?

Seems like Chicago has gotten off to a quick start every game. The difference in this series is that Connecticut has gotten back in it each game. On the other side of the country, fast starts by Phoenix have never been answered at any point by Vegas in 2 of the 3 games.
 
And there you go. After being down 11, Sun closed to within 3. Which is closer than Vegas has been at any point after about 30 or 60 seconds into the last 2 games.
 
Last 2 CON possessions have been good for this year season's MVP versus last season's DPOY :oops:
 
.-.
Sun's vaunted defense just has not been a factor in this series, other than Game 2. Sky have had no trouble scoring throughout. This is looking like a shootout, which I gotta think plays to Chicago's favor.
 
Sloot has 13 in Q1. I think January's defense is missed. Sloot has been carving them up dishing the ball during the series, but she hasn't scored like this.
 
Sun getting every call. Other than getting T'd up twice. @Plebe will be along in about 2 seconds to chide me for this comment. I don't care.
 
Sloot just picked up her third foul. Staying in the game for now.
 
Complete Solar eclipse. Sky's the limit.
 
.-.
Sky had an 18 point lead, sliced in half. Turning the ball over like crazy. Sloot has 7 TOs. Sun run coincided w/ Stevens catching an inadvertent elbow and having to leave the game.
 
Sky scoreless for last 5:23 of Q3. Sun didn't really take advantage of it, they had plenty of TOs of their own. Sun mostly on traveling and offensive fouls, Sky mostly on sloppy passes. 65-58 heading into Q4.

Stevens did come back into the game.

Hopefully the Sky hold on for the win, how can someone who pushes and shoves like Thomas not get called for multiple fouls?
 
That might do it. Parker HIGH off the glass w/ the left for a 15 point lead, 3 minutes left.

JJ finally playing like an MVP, but getting very little help other than Heideman and her 3's.
 
A. Thomas has been generally good in the series...but you do kinda have to question her returning just before the playoffs started. This has definitely not looked like the same team we saw all season, especially since the Olympics break. Don't think they had time to reintegrate her and it threw everything off.

Sun need better guards to win a Title. J. Thomas just not good enough as a PG to do the job. I think by now that seems fairly readily apparent.

Copper was probably the best player in the series, but big contributions from Parker, Sloot, Stevens. Kinda up and down from Quigley. Not a lot from the bench.

Copper looks like the most explosive player in the League and a very good finisher. Saw a little snippet where she said she is the best teammate since she will be happy to go out and get snacks for her teammates or pick them up for as ride. Free Agent who should get some major bling.
 
.-.
Phoenix has jumped out at least 8-0 EVERY game this series. Looks like Laimbeer hasn't made a single adjustment at any point. LV starters just don't appear to give a damn.
 
Good thing Plum is scoring, because she's been hopeless on defense.


Among the many categories that Taurasi is the all time leader in...uncalled pushoffs has to be one of them. :rolleyes:
 
28-24 Merc thru Q1. Peddy has gone from couldn't hit water falling out of a boat a couple games ago, to now absolutely can't miss. 11 pts in the quarter.
 
OMG. Aces ahead for the first time since Game 1.
