I was at the Liberty/Sky game. I wish the Liberty had that level of compete on a nightly basis, but it's nice to see that they can get to that level. Still saw some sloppiness, but I really thought their overall effort was much better than I've seen most games. Great back and forth 4th quarter as well. The Ionescu three point play that was the winning bucket ruled.

The Aces are so fun to watch. Between Wilson, Plum, Gray, Hamn, and others, there are just countless highlights every game.

Have an article about how Plum has gone from not ever making an All Star game to being in the MVP conversation in a single season:

Probably. The roster has less depth than last season. Their net ratings on both ends are either similar or worse to last season. Their pace is even similar. They just play a far more aesthetically pleasing style of ball that isn't just always pound Aja Wilson or Liz Cambage in the paint every single possession.

Decided to head down to the Libery game after work today. It really feels like the pieces are there, they just have too many lapses. Really admired the defensive effort though, the Sparks should've put that game away several times, but the defense kept them close enough, and they owned the last 5 minutes. Not the prettiest win, but gets them one step closer to sneaking into the playoffs.

Is anybody else seeing a ton of WNBA League Pass ads all of a sudden? Like within the last week or so I've seen three or four whereas before that I don't think I saw a single one.

$15 is a pretty good deal for every game IMO, especially compared to...literally any other league's pass

The Dallas Wings apparently set a record for their largest comeback victory ever earlier today. Did it against the Indiana Fever, though I'm not sure how big the point deficit was.

Sky got wrecked but it was nice to see the building full for Sue's last game in Chicago.

Also midway through the 1st we found out we'd been sitting in the wrong seats all season. Whoops.

Huge win for the Liberty. Really liked the way they controlled the game after the 1st. Especially after that 2nd half last game against Dallas. Now if Minneosta beats Phoenix, there will be a 4 way tie for the last 2 playoff spots.

What's the tiebreaker scenario if Chicago and Vegas are tied for the first seed? I guess the only way that would happen is if the Aces win tonight and they both win on Saturday, so the H2H record would be 3-1 Aces.

The Sky really seemed to take their foot off the gas in the first half against Seattle the other day, which makes sense if they don't think they have anything to play for, but seeding is important in a 3-game series.

Well the 4th quarter wasn't ideal, but what a huge win. I'll be at the game on Sunday and it'll be a win and in scenario for the Liberty. Really great work in the first three quarters to build that lead. The team has looked much more cohesive in the last few weeks, gotta credit the coaching on that. Plus being healthy has helped.

E: After review, the Libs could win Sunda and not clinch, but it would require Phoenix and Minnesota (who are down by double digits right now) to win both. Thank you this website for laying it out. So Phoenix losing tonight clinches it. Go Dallas.

E2: That website is wrong apparently, but a win on Sunday and the Liberty are in. Thank you for listening to me come to mutliple realilzations over these edits. Still, go Storm and Wings.
