| It’s looking like the Liberty have caught onto the #3 vs #4 lottery thing if Dallas slips out of the playoffs. Players mysteriously out forever, no health exemption players, no Charles in this game.... they really don’t want to win. Pride is out the door in the hopes of moving up one slot.

| This score looks like a Harlem Globetrotters game.

| Last time Charles sat the last couple games of a regular season was when she was unhappy in CT and forced a trade in the off season.

| Katie Smith is tanking this game on purpose to ensure her old buddy Bill Laimbeer gets into the playoffs.

Both teams have fairly good reasons to lose this game, for draft lotto odds.
And hey, the Refs usually win anyways, right?

If the Aces wanna make a last ditch playoff push ... now's the time. |
Aces win tonight and they are tied with Wings for 8th place. Looks like the Wings have the tie-breaker, but they play Friday night. |
But the thing is if the Wings win even win one more game, I do believe the Aces would have to win out.
Last games
DAL @ SEA ~ Pretty sure SEA won’t have any incentive to win. Who would they rather have in the playoffs?
ATL @ LVA ~ Not sure if ATL will have incentive to win. Can LVA get the upset if ATL still has incentive?

The top 2 seeds might rest people, but I doubt it would be to try to manipulate who gets the 8th seed.

Dallas' Magic Number is 2. Any combination of 2 Wings' wins and Aces' losses and Dallas gets the eight seed.
So even if we win tonight, and beat Dallas Friday, an Aces loss to Atlanta and a Dallas win over Seattle Sunday, puts the Wings in the postseason.

I don't think she has to try.
And for Vegas, Nared is such a zero. I guess there is hope for improvement, considering how much Plum improved year one to year two.

We own the tie breaker vs vegas so even if we lose friday all we need to do is win 1. Sounds easy however we have been needing to just win 1 for almost 2 weeks now it seems.

If we win out, and you win Sunday, we get the eight seed.
We would be 16-18, and you guys would be 15-19.

If we win our next game friday versus LV we are in. 1 game for all the marbles.

| Assuming the Aces win this one... An Aces win in their next game (against the Wings) wouldn't be sufficient to get the Aces to 8th. The Aces would still need a win in their last game or a Wings loss in their last game.

There's no guarantee that Bec will make it to Tenerife. Is there? |
No, no guarantees. She is in the 20-player training squad that they named though (and given that there are three different naturalised players in that group, it's really 11 from 17). |

You're a lot more confident than I am. (assuming Bill actually wants to win, which I'm not confident about either)
