2022 wnba playoffs thread

delle donne's midrange game is so good, like carmelo but without holding the ball so long

storm could not stop her at all, they must feel great escaping with the win. very enjoyable game

lets see if the liberty can pull off the series upset today and---

lol nope holy shit

😬😬😬 chicago just lapped the liberty towards the end of the 3q

big basket to avoid being doubled up through three quarters

forgot it was an early game. yikes at the score

going on a road trip to seattle with my little brother for game 2 tomorrow

awesome! that’s gonna be a great game to see in person

yeah I'm pretty stoked! first time leaving the province in quite a while

i was at a soccer game last night so missed the chelsea gray show, but aces are cooking

i didnt have much hope that the bottom 3 seeds would do much, but dallas is making connecticut sweat right now, huge first half lead

sun shits not falling at all. seems like a lot of missed bunnies.

lol, meant “shots”

oof game getting out of hand for the sun

i did not expect this.

sun made it interesting at the end.

alright sym, let us know all about it. sounds like a great home crowd today

selfishly hoping for a game 3, great matchup

i guess only one of these teams has breanna stewart. the mystics holding her to a few points in the first half but not able to get a meaningful lead was probably not sustainable.

yeah, storm’s d really stifled delle donne.

total blast, great vibes in the arena. Storm's 3 stars all went off, Sue Bird was locked in. Breanna Stewart was close to a triple double all game, and finished with 21/10/8, but the biggest impact was on the defensive end. You could really see live how she's impossible to drive on, with those long gangly arms and fast footspeed.

In the in-stadium post game interview, Sue Bird said that the team was motivated by getting notifications from Delta to check in for the flight to Washington tomorrow. Her message was "nobody check in, we're not going to Washington."

Pro basketball players probably shouldn't have to fly commercial...

we followed the game up by checking out Jamal Crawford's pro-am the Crawsover, the event that Lebron shut down yesterday. We got to see Jamal and Isiah Thomas playing instead. Great day of hoops.

excellent

yeah, sounds amazing

win-or-go-home time, and marine johannes is testing my loyalty to chelsea gray with back-to-back heat check pull-up 3's in transition

i wish she'd shoot 10 a game

damn, sabrina

the liberty are a team of madness

the window opened for ny but the sky are putting the clamps down. still, thrilling game

yeah, sky defense was bananas, libs had no answer

dang, shut it down. it was fun while it lasted.

if ny is gonna make the leap as a team, ionescu is gonna have to cut down on the carelessness with the ball and theyre going to need to tighten up their transition d

(for next season obv)

yeah, turnovers are a killer for this team.

dallas gonna fuck around and pull off the upset tonight?

just got home and tuning in. Rooting upset.

i cannot in good conscience ever root for a dallas team of any kind

Haha. San Antone to the core

and it’s looking like the sun are gonna finish them off.

dewanna bonner is so cool

Haha. San Antone to the core

i put on for my city

yessir.

this win seemed inevitable

the top 5 in the league were just too good all season i think to get beat by the lower seeds in spite of the abbreviated nature of the first round

the semis should be great, its pretty much wide open at this point

yup, i’m ready for both matchups, esp aces v strom

just an hour awayyyyyyyyyy

storm came out ready to play

damn, storm stormin’

storm defense is stifling

so many missed shots for both teams. bonner gassed at the end of the 2nd.

chelsea vs. the world

Oh my @cgray209 😵

that play was ridiculous. she is a joy to watch

this is gonna be a hell of a 10 minutes

jesus that kelsey plum flagrant was brutal, aces were starting to assert some control and it was a 5-point swing on that play

aces have overall player a better game, just missing shots and making some really costly errors. hoping they can right the ship these last few mins

riquna williams is CLOSING this game

williams big shots. whew

WEWWWWWWWWWW ACESSSSSSS

CHELSEA FUCKING GRAY BABYYYYYYYY

beautiful game, awesome series
