2747836, The WNBA Finals are set...
Posted by ThaTruth, Sat Oct-09-21 12:28 AM
the hype will be Taurasi vs Parker but there will be a lot of interesting matchups, Brittney Griner's block on Aja Wilson to advance was huge...

Taurasi basically playing on one foot most of each game. The Sky have a chance, especially if Kaleah Copper keeps balling out
2747838, Britney has been so good and steady…
Posted by Dstl1, Sat Oct-09-21 03:02 AM
for so long. She’s been maybe the best player in the league, since the Olympics. I’m hurt that Kia Nurse won’t get to play. She had become one of my favorite players to watch. This finals matchup will be fun. Beyond the obvious of Britney and Ace…Courtney Vandersloot and Kaleah Copper are so dope as a backcourt for the sky.
2747942, Chicagos guards crash boards…
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Oct-10-21 02:56 PM
and that’s bothering Brittney. Vansersloot and Ace’s pick and roll game is on point. Sky up double digits.
2747947, Phoenix mad, in foul trouble and trying hard..
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Oct-10-21 03:25 PM
to close the gap. Chicago is in control, widening the margin and their buckets are coming easy.
2748194, Brit looks completely different from Sunday…
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Oct-13-21 09:20 PM
she’s quick and decisive when she gets the ball, active in the pick and roll and engaged on defense. “The others” (c)Shaq are stepping up for both teams.
2748198, Two monster shots by Diana…
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Oct-13-21 09:34 PM
but the sky just got waves of hoopers. As soon as Phoenix pulls close, someone different for Chicago busts a move.
2748204, 2 more MONSTER shots by Diana in OT

Phoenix within 2.

2748205, GREAT game….
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Oct-13-21 10:20 PM
Britney was all world, Diana and Skylar took over in OT. Still think Chicago wins both games at home to close it out.
2748206, Yeah, it really was
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Wed Oct-13-21 11:55 PM
It looked like Chicago would hold on. But a lot of really clutch play by GOATaurasi, and Griner saved them.

I'm not terribly familiar with both teams, but it seemed like Chicago was uncommonly bad from 3. Likely that's not going to continue, which would make me think they'll take this series.



2748209, BG and DT balled out

That was a lot of fun to watch, especially the last few minutes of regulation.

I've always been a big fan of Sloot. Kahleah Copper has ended up being what I though Diamond DeShields was going to be for this team.

I don't know how much it showed during the regular season but it looks like Parker was the key to putting them over the top. At one time, Chicago had Sylvia Fowles AND Elena Delle Donne.

I'm biased but I also think Chicago wins it all but I think they missed a huge opportunity by not stealing 2 in Phoenix.
2748218, Yes!..

..great game, indeed.

2748348, I'm sorry they want things to be equal but no male player gets off this...

easy...

and its not like it's an isolated thing she's known for cursing at and threatening refs...would Griner or Parker get away with?
2748352, She’s from UConn that’s why.
Posted by allStah, Fri Oct-15-21 05:33 PM
Anyone else would have been suspended. She’s such an abrasive person
and a known drug cheat( got off on that, too).

That’s okay. Hopefully, the Sky and Candace get their revenge.


2748478, Not just because she's from UCONN, but that does help her
Posted by Castro, Sun Oct-17-21 04:26 PM
Tina Charles ain't getting away with that.
2748353, Copper didn’t really play well last game. Her
Posted by allStah, Fri Oct-15-21 05:43 PM
scoring tenacity is needed to make the team a complete high scoring team
Sky likes to get out and score and the Mercury can’t really keep up with them.

Sky should roll tonight.

Candace’s defensive game is on another level, and even though she is in the
twilight of her career, she is conquering the game with her intelligence.
2748359, Yeah, series over

2748360, Boom! Copper.
Posted by allStah, Fri Oct-15-21 09:41 PM
A little Cynthia Cooper in the making, played her usual game.

Too much offensive power by the Sky.

Hopefully, Parker will get her second title. If she does,
she should retire and head to the booth permanently.
Go out on top!




2748471, Brit and Skylar going all in, but Chicago won’t go away

transformed into another team once Off's started

Game was nerve racking
2748480, It’s great for our city, since chicago is a basketball Mecca
Posted by allStah, Sun Oct-17-21 05:15 PM
for women and men. Cappie and Candace are legendary players
from here.

And she beatdown a UConn player...Pat would be proud (lol)

Anthony Davis is next! Come on back home, dog.
