I remember the Dream looking their best a few years ago, when Sancho got lost for the season just after she returned from Euro-play. This sucks all the more.

I'm guessing the Dream end up as the #5 seed and get knocked out by Dallas

Yikes about Angel. I always want my Sparks to win but I NEVER want to hear about a season ending injury for any player.
I expect an inspired performance by ATL against the tired, and perhaps suddenly overconfident, Sparks.
Let's go Sparks!! This is a big opening and opportunity. Seize it! |

If Notre Dame wins a National Title with, they way the media hyped it up, their entire team out with injuries, and the Eagles won a Super Bowl after their MVP-frontrunner QB tears his ACL, why can't the Dream win it all now, or are they exempt continuing that pattern?

Get well soon Lori Ann , this a big blow to the entire playoffs. If TIP Hayes wants to be a real MVP candidate this is her best chance to show it . Im not counting them out yet .

Damn. That’s two major injuries that likely put an end to their teams championship goals. Sucks for the dream, fans, and especially Angel. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

So sad to hear!! I thought the Dream had a good chance to win the ship. I feel for Angel with the season ending injury.
Maybe if the refs call the fouls on LA that they should the Dream might have a chance.

Even as a Sparks fan, I am very sorry to hear about Angel's injury. She has had a good season and has been a huge part of their successes. Praying for a speedy recovery.

That's clearly not going to happen. Nneka gets away with another face shot...

See that, Nneka hit Jessica in the face and no foul call. Even the commentators said the refs were looking right at it. That why I can't stand the Sparks! It is just sickening to watch them. Nneka is always hooking and hitting. Someone needs to do something about the refs! Sparks are
so used to getting away with fouls they commit that it just doesn't matter what they do.

Dream commentators. Sparks commentators would have said it was a good no-call.
But it's looking like the Dream don't even need McCoughtry. Could they be better without her? Pilight usually asks that question.

With McCoughtry out I'm wondering who'll match up with Seattle best in the finals. Washington? Maybe Minnesota stands a chance now? Does Connecticut reemerge in the playoffs?

Could they win this game without her? Sure. Could they hold onto the second seed without her? I mean, they still have the Liberty and the Aces, so if they win tonight, it's not going to take much more than that. Can they win the championship without her? I don't think that they can get to the Finals without her.
