BG this is the playoffs. WAY too soft. |
Considering they just decided to get her the ball late and she also has played 40 minutes in both Playoff games, she has a right to be fatigue and struggle some.

So Plum can just push Diana down? Okay. |
She’s been shoving people all night but I think that one was more getting caught up in Griner’s body.
I did Lowkey want Skylar to knock her on her ass though.

22 to 11 in bench points. How tragic.

I’m confused. If you aren’t going to foul to extend the game, why are the starters getting HEAVY minutes in a game they are already fatigued in.
The minute management seems silly in a game that the Aces have pretty much had in the bag for the last 16 minutes.

Whenever the Merc's season is over, I wonder how likely they'll be to re-sign Kia Nurse... really feels like it could go either way tbh.

That's not a surprise. The Merc don't have a bench and Plum is the 6POY

I can't help but feel that Bria should've played to get Skylar rest but whatever.

To get ANYBODY rest. This was such a 4th quarter gamble. I hope it doesn’t bite us.

51 points between Williams and Plum. I’m ok with a 6 point L.

Aces are 1-6 versus Phoenix, in the last four seasons, when they give up 10+ threes. We're a quarter into the game, and they've already given up five. |
The Merc finished with nine threes...

Julie Hairgrove must have a record being an assistant continuously on the same team under 5 different coaches for 17 (?) years.

Given the bizarre way that they were playing defense, I don't know whether that was an adjustment, or if Phoenix just went cold. That being said:

It looks to me like the deciding factor in the series will be Vegas' attention to detail defending the three-point line. In the last four seasons, the Aces are 4-1 versus Phoenix, when they hold them to single-digit three-pointers, and 1-6 when they don't. This appears to be irrespective of what Griner does: in fact, Griner has averaged 22.8 ppg versus the Aces, over the past four seasons, in games in which Phoenix won, and 23.5 ppg, in the games they lost**. |

Peddy shouldn’t be in a Mercury uniform next season. Why Walker and Smith have them at this point is also baffling since they can’t play.
