| LV bench finishes with no pts, 4 TO's, and collectively -38.

| LV doesn’t stand a chance against Seattle. Especially with no Hamby coming from the bench.

Carolyn Swords came up big defensively in the second half. She is a big reason for this win. I mean that charge she took in addition to the big rebounds, that was big.
Connecticut got dismissed due to their 0-5 start, but I hope most knew that was an anomaly. They had to have time to gel and get January. I think the offensive disappearance of J Thomas and January hurt. Bonner was able to make up for hers some through free throws, but like the thing that hurt Vegas, not having that outside shot as a release valve really clogs things up inside.

| Good season, Sun! Y’all should be reloaded next year so long as Alyssa Thomas (above anyone else) re-signs.

Until about a week ago, neither had Connecticut.

I expect the Finals to go about the same way the semis did. Maybe even easier for Vegas because Klop isn't as good a coach as Curt Miller.

Perhaps. On the other hand, Seattle has twice as many quality defenders to throw at A'ja Wilson. And they're not handicapped by Jasmine Thomas.

Her whining and antics aren't as much fun when she's wearing a non-Merc uniform?

Exactly.
(Not that I was ever under any illusions about how annoying she is. Verbally I think she already peaked as a Merc, but floppily it seems like she is still expanding her repertoire)

You’re expecting LV to win a series with a completely healthy Seattle team? If Thomas didn’t go down with her injury, this semifinal likely would’ve been a sweep. So, are you expecting Stewart or Clark to go down and only be able to play with one shoulder too?
Vegas struggled with Seattle both times, with Stewart & Bird not even playing in the second. Hamby was a large reason behind the first win considering she went for 23 & 8, and is another defender to throw at the Seattle posts. Who is that player now in a series?
LV is not winning if Bill can only play 5 people like he did for a majority of this series. Also, who on Vegas is guarding Loyd?

Given that Hamby isn't playing and DRob is now a starter, this isn't surprising. The bench scored 4 pts in the last game.
Using J Young at PG is a mistake, IMHO. If DRob needs a breather, put in Allen and let Young play at SG. |
Not a fan of Allen, but have been surprised at her total disappearance if she's not injured. J. Young was better earlier in the year but has been atrocious in this series so not sure if it's just the matchup or what. Also it was weird that she was still playing the point when she and DRob were both on the floor together. Is Big Bill just being stubborn? So yeah, when it's not working, why not put Allen out there for a few minutes? And also Cannon is atrocious so maybe try Burdick for a few minutes. Could it be worse? And why in heck did he sign those two anyway. I mean I guess it's a good thing in that there is at least a body to put on the floor...but really, was that the best he could do?
