| Phoenix, like L.A., is a four-player team, and it's hard to win a five-game series when the opposition has the time to exploit that weakness.

pilight, is it common to have three players with a double double in a single game or is that something you even track?
I was watching DT for a triple as well. She had her points and assists early with 3 rebounds. But she didn't get any more boards.
DB and BG were impressive on the boards but Atlanta made it easy. There were times when BG was the only player under the basket.
Also, not mentioned in BG's play is how often her presence discourages a player from taking a shot or altering the shot to try and get it past her. There were some ugly shots put up in the paint. Atlanta's ability to hit from the perimeter was the only thing that kept Atlanta in the game. Losing Sykes was huge in the long run.

I think he's giving January credit for being decent

Storm will definitely beat Atlanta, but it’ll be a full 5 game series this tiiime, that is if they get to the finals 😂

Exactly ... so, if you like, 3.75.

I tend to agree with this, in principle, though obviously not with the relish that you appear to have. My agreement, though, has less to do with my opinion of the Storm (whom I loathe), and more to do with my opinion of the Dream's ceiling without McCoughtry. With a healthy McCoughtry, I legitimately believe that the Atlanta Dream are the 2018 WNBA Champions.
