2022 wnba playoffs thread

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

wilson and plum have both been taking some less than ideal shots, though theyre starting to get a rhythm now

stokes getting a lot of minutes out there for aces but getting targeted on d and not providing any floor spacing on o. she held the ball behind the arc with nnot a soul covering her for like 5 seconds before someone came around for a dribble handoff.

Rolllllll bounce 🛼 @cgray209

crossed up

6 minutes left in the game is a hell of a time to get your first lead of the game, but i'm glad the aces are making this a game. sue bird has been running an outlet pass clinic today.

gray!

midrange messiah

nail biter here

holy shit jewell loyd

that last missed 3 i thought for SURE was going in

damn. great ATO play, good look, just didnt fall.

yeah, it looked good

aces late turnovers we tough

that one wilson threw into young's back as she ran into the passing lane to gray, just brutal. that led to the first loyd 3.

what a great game. Also thought Plum was hitting that last one for sure.

Jewell and Plum both took some ill-advised long ones, but it looks great when it goes in...Stewart's been on such a heater, she's just good at everything

stewart isnt fair
