2022 wnba playoffs thread

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.

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

yeah, stewart is a total cheat code

sky v sun very good so far.

sun defense very good

Candace Parker was just everywhere that game. 1 steal away from a 5 x 5 in 40 minutes, insane.

only half monitoring the game, sun seemed to make a run late but sky seem in control

what little i watched, parker seems to be having another monster game. so good

parker has been so good, that 3 ball and-1 was hella nice

a'ja looks much better tonight compared to game 1. im hoping that gray gets to drive the bus more, im not impressed with plum's decision-making right now.

going back to the end of regular season, aces-storm is one of the best matchups ive seen in basketball, every game is close

yeah, this series has be pumped. what a great matchup. i need a whiskey after this game

wilson’s and stewart’s stat lines amazing this game

A'ja Wilson: 33 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks

Breanna Stewart: 32 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 assists

caught most of the sun-sky game, kinda grimey like a 2000s pistons game

aces-storm winner is gonna win the title, just calling it now

aces are COOKING right now

rly need the acs to figure out how to run an offense when gray is sitting. plum is way more likely to play heroball and jackie young does not get enough run in those minutes.

chelsea gray

last year the sky run felt like it was all about the backcourt, this series has been candace parker dominating (even without shooting well this game)

chelsea gray just deciding not to miss shots this game I see

she has a true hooting pct. of 82.2% in the playoffs, im not even fuckin kidding

a'ja has been INCREDIBLE in this game, just so dominant when she can play down low and hit faceup j's

MANNN OH MANNN @_ajawilson22 is up to 20 PTS in the FIRST HALF 💪

look at this shit, this is tim duncan shit

that behind the back pass at the end of the half was a beauty (but no score)

did the stat say Sue Bird has 34 assists and 2 turnovers this playoffs?

sounds right

goddamn storm do not quit

maybe hamby is not healthy enough for big minutes but they really need a more formidable 4 than stokes, shes got good size but a v limited offensive game. she's left open so often and they cant capitalize.

i’m at a bbq and am only watching the play by play feed
this looks like an amazing game, damn

aces had a great first half, storm counterpunched in the 3rd, now its a dogfight like all their games are

goddamn how do you stop stewart on switches

williams has been soooo clutch holy fuck

oh my fucking god
