this quarter is why they need to just use a possession arrow, we've had four jump balls - that we have to set up for each time

Carrington and Bonner not giving up the ghost even down 19 with 5 minutes to go. Back to back 3's and it's down to 13 with 3:40 left.

napheesa collier currently has 190 points through 7 games, the wnba single season record is 245 by Taurasi in 2009. 55 points away from that, and she probably will get that in 3 games, she could arguably smash it, 300 would take 27.5 ppg for 4 games or 22 ppg for 5 games

Her ppg average (27.14) is also close to the highest playoff ppg for anyone who played more than one series which is Candace Parker in 2012 with 28.75 across 4 games (one a 2-0 series win and the other a 0-2 series loss)

This next series is going to be great fun. Congrats Lynx fans!

The Finals I think most of us wanted. Can’t stand the two days off between games scheduling.

Well i will be an anxious mess tomorrow I'm just giving everyone fair warning

Sealab2024 · Post #757 » by **Sealab2024** » Wed Oct 9, 2024 2:07 pm

It's not often you get a basketball junkies dream finals, but here we are. I have no clue who's gonna win, how this is gonna go or what we're gonna see. If you told me either team sweeps I wouldn't be shocked and if you told me it goes 5 with every game coming down to the last minute I'd be like "yeah, that tracks".

Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Six playoff series, six victories for the higher seed.
