I believe the traditional punishment for moving someone's poo poo is getting water poured all over the car so it freezes.

Glad the Fever pulled that one out. Let's beat the Mystics on Thursday to finish the season with a winning record.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I was curious so I went to look up what the tiebreakers look like for that 8th seed battle. Going into everyone’s last pair of games the Mystics, Sky and Dream all have 13 wins thanks to the Dream’s overtime win today. Atlanta plays Chicago on Tuesday, which means one of them will be guaranteed to have 14 wins and an inside track to the playoffs. if Washington wins one of their two remaining against the Liberty or Fever (both in DC), they win tiebreakers against Atlanta and Chicago, so regardless of who wins on Tuesday the Mystics would still overtake them.

Atlanta:
vs Chicago Tuesday
At New York Thursday
1-2 against Chicago
2-2 against Washington
5-13 in conference

Chicago:
At Atlanta Tuesday
At Connecticut Thursday
2-1 against Atlanta
1-3 against Washington
5-13 in conference

Washington:
Vs New York Tuesday
Vs Indiana Thursday
2-2 against Atlanta
3-1 against Chicago
6-12 in conference

Tiebreakers in order:
1. Head to Head
2. Conference winning percentage

The funniest option is Atlanta winning Tuesday then losing to the Liberty, Washington dropping both and Chicago upsetting the Sun forcing the rarely seen third tiebreaker, wins against all teams with a .500 or better record, which is still very much in flux because the Mercury could win two and get back to .500 which would possibly tip the 8th seed from the Sky to the Dream

Chicago: 5-18 (5-21 w/Mercury)
Atlanta: 4-18 (5-21 w/Mercury)

If this happens, the next tiebreaker is h2h point differential. Chicago won its two games by 17 points total, and Atlanta won its one game by 9, meaning that if Atlanta wins by 8, it would be even, triggering the fifth and final tiebreaker: a coin flip. This would be objectively hilarious and I hope it happens

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The announcer screaming about a taunt in Vegas/Seattle is such a dweeb.

i would switch for a team in pittsburgh just because i could and would go to games regularly. presumably they'd just use the penguin's arena and i can walk from my office in no time. alas i never even hear whispers about putting a team here.

Is there a timeline somewhere for the expansion teams? Are they adding 4 teams in one off-season or are these happening in waves.
