Dream want to win to get in the playoff. WNBA09 wants to lose to get into the lottery. This is the perfect game to make that happen and make everyone happy.

This is a must win for the wings, if they want to make the playoffs, let’s go wings and finish out the season strong. |

The head-to-head matchup of the ROY's. If it turns out the way WNBA09 wants, it'll be the only thing that should decide the ROY. Otherwise, it'll be only one game in a season of many.
The Main Event of the Evening
ROY VS ROY
Sykes VS Gray
Any chance they could give co-ROY awards, or would people still grab the torches if their favorite candidate doesn't win outright.

If the voter panel size is an odd number again, like 39, it'll be tough unless someone randomly gives a vote to someone (say Plum).
There have been ties (co-ROY winners) 3 times in NBA history though.

Any chance Lynx fans would be satisfied with Co MVP or CO-COY's? I doubt it - torches would be lit. But I'm not greedy so I'd be ok with it. Then again, I don't think anyone should be seen carrying torches at this time.

Hayes? If she's still out that would swing the pendulum.

Dallas would be better off making the playoffs.Even if Cambage plays in 2018,there's no guarantee that the wings will make the playoffs.Atlanta,Chicago & San Antonio could all leapfrog dallas in the standings.I'd also like to see Skylar,Powers and Gray get some postseason experience.

Sykes has Diggins chasing her around.

She said that Dearica Hamby is showing once again that you can be a mother and an outstanding WNBA player.

I absolutely despise these interviews during games. If the product is so damn good, let it speak for itself and stop talking over it! Argh!

There are quite a few mothers now in the ranks of good players. Hamby is in fact doing better lately than I give her credit for...still can't defend, but is certainly shooting better.

She said "Glory Johnson can twist herself into a pretzel!"
And "Sykes at 5'8 can dunk the ball!"
"144 of the best women athletes in the world!" (nevermind some teams are running on less than 12 players)

Dallas with a good first half. Several Wings players playing really well. Diggins with 6 assists in the first half. She has been the beneficiary of some hot shooting. Of course lots of fouls for both teams, as usual.

It's close, but Sykes:
1) has the hair
2) Lisa Borders says she can dunk
Advantage Brittney Sykes

That might be a tech on Hayes.
