wow, what a turnaround. that pass was quite a throw

well well well if it isnt me being wrong af

i think itll be chalk in the first round, but based on nothing other than the anecdotal evidence of watching a couple of their games, i like the way connecticut did things and i think theyll get to the finals past chicago. aces ftw.

well well well if isnt me actually being right af

yeah, the bonner copper skirmish killed the sky’s flow

haha! the oracle nailed it

they have great size! bonner is all arms and she's like the sf???

i wanna get bold and predict an aces sweep tbh

yeah, their d certainly outmuscled the sky and had them shook. sloot’s pass off the backboard was desperation. my wife gasped when it happened

also: do it! call the sweep

aces in 3

game 1 on abc rn!!!

sold out crowd in vegas, energy is all the way up already

aces looking good af

grey!
nice start.
i’m under my kitchen sink doing plumbing, but I could hear the crowd was amped.
sounded like an english premier league crowd

i want becky to fine plum $100 for every pullup 3 in the first half of the shot clock she takes

sun's size advantage is a problem rn for vegas

tons of offensive boards, trouble getting their offense cooking in the 2nd bc the lanes are treacherous, etc

suns with the bullyball on offense, and long and tough d.

i wonder if hammon is going to go deeper into her bench. rupert got a couple of minutes but got the hook pretty quickly. plaisance and hamby are right there, too, but hamby has been slowly coming back from injury. they've had such a short bench thats v guard heavy, just wilson and stokes getting any meaningful time.

its tough bc the sun have thomas (6'2"), bonner (6'4"), and jonquel jones (6'6") out at the same time, bonner is guarding jackie young or the guards who are all 6' and under. stokes isnt providing any floor spacing for lv, wilson wants to drive the lane, its just too congested with sun defenders.

stuff i dont like:
*stokes getting picked on on offense (her defender abandons her to double the ballhandler) and d (her getting switched on an allowing a layup line to form)
*jackie young being gunshy from 3 even though she's shooting literally 69% from 3 in the playoffs

hamby checked in and good things started to happen, hmmmm

btw jonquel jones has been outstanding in this game for ct

as phenmonal as gray and wilson have been theyre gonna need someone else to provide buckets. plum especially (currently 0-8)

or not LMAO just let gray and wilson take all the shots, problem solved!

aces turning up the energy in the 4th, love to see it

damn, alyssa thomas

aces 1 - sun 0

excellent finish. aces clamp down and keep the sweep on schedule

game 2 underway, aces doing aces things

grey crossovers are lethal

sun look flat

riquna williams has missed a few open 3's, theyve gotta get some production from her. plum has been good tonight tho!

shimmy butler

a'ja brimming w confidence rn

alyssa thomas is rly impressive, her ability to guard everyone and her physicality make her a matchup nightmare

goddamnit chelsea pls dont be injured

back to the locker room, damn

she was able to get a bucket right after so i hope its just a minor tweak

yeah, that ankle seems to be holding. nice drive there

hahaha she did the "too short" thing

i am running out of the words for Chelsea Gray. pic.twitter.com/sEDN2lrylt

after this play

haha, nice

sun got close a couple of times but they never felt like they were stringing together enough solid offensive possessions to get into a flow

aces of to a great start. gray just did some great work in the lane

the sun are absolutely hounding gray and denying her space. bonner is giving her issues with her length.

sun acting like they dont wanna watch a title celebration tonight

what a quarter from the sun. 80% from the floor, wow. aces taking and missing a lot of jumpers
