The 2 seed isn't set yet is it?
Do the Aces get it if they win tonight?
I'm not sure who has the tiebreaker between them and the Dream.

1:00 tomorrow can't get her soon enough.
Just curious, what do you guys think the chances of someone outside of the Lynx, Liberty, or Aces winning it are?
And what team would that be?
This slate of 8 teams is loaded, and I could make an argument for anybody to beat anybody. It feels like there's a lot of parity.
Even the Fever beat the Lynx comfortably in the CC. Storm have had their number too.
Overlooking the Valkyries has been a mistake all year (though it does suck they won't be able to play in Balhalla).
In spite of their record, I'm having a real hard time trusting the Dream and Mercury. But their upside is as high as anybody.
I could make the case that anybody could win it, but it's still hard to imagine anybody outside of the Lynx, Aces, or Liberty actually doing it.

If we get beat by the Mercury, I give them a punchers chance.

Can't believe Valkyries are in the playoffs in Year 1! My team!
My prediction was for them to tank this year, get a high pick, and use the mega off season to get the team they really wanted. But man I am happy with how this all went down.

Burton/Temi duo was carrying Valkyires early in the 1st qtr then Janelle joined the party. Need to get Ceci some looks as well. We're gonna need all the scoring we can get.

something happened to alanna smith and her free throws this year, yips or something
she's a career 64% shooter from the line, 75% last year and she's at 48% this year
