Will Ogwumike play in this game? She's been out the last 2 games and I didn't hear why.

Mono. I hope the Sun win, but I wouldn't mind Merc playing the Storm in the subsequent round. Just don't want the Dream to have to play the Merc.

I was there last year. It wasn't as close as the final score indicated.

Especially with DT having the game she had today. Griner will get hers , stopping DB needs to be a priority then again PHX won last year in CT without DB. Damn Connecticut goodluck!

I think Phoenix will be tired. Sun have a deep bench(if Chiney plays).

If the flight from PHX takes them to NYC and they have a long bus ride...

I would accept that but they were not tired last year making the exact same trek from ASU to Conn to play within two days so not an excuse at this point if you want to be a champion.

Diana is just on another level this year and they have no one who can guard her. I expect that A. Thomas and Bonner won’t be able to guard one another. However, Talbot on A. Thomas might be effective in spells. January should be able to make life difficult for J. Thomas. I think a lot will come down to if Strickland is hitting shots or not. I would rather Chiney play and matchup with Griner, rather than Jones. I was more scared of the Wings, I’m pretty comfortable with this matchup.

per wnba.com: http://www.wnba.com/game/20180823/PHOCON/


Ogwumike is questionable.


Only info I was able to get doing a Twitter search was a sore knee, knee issue.

Chiney didn’t have mono. That was her Sparky sister. Chiney had a sore knee and they sat her out the last two games to rest it up for tonight

I'm not afraid of the Merc or the Sun. Yeah, I'd prefer to see Phoenix in the finals than the semis, because A: that would mean we're in the finals and B: it would be a nice change to have a finals opponent I can really hate.

Phoenix by 10-15 points

The Sun have no answer for Taurasi,Griner,or Bonner.....Connecticut's only chance is if Williams/Jones go off for 40+ points.

I don't hate Phoenix or Atlanta. In fact, I hope only 1 of them is in the Finals. Since I don't have a team in my city, my 1st choice to win would be Phoenix and if not them, Atlanta. Each of these 2 teams have a main member out due to injury. Angle and Sancho but both teams have been winning since then. So if these 2 end up in the Finale, either one could win.

All the games and secrets teams try and play during the playoffs is just absurd. Every coach that says a player is questionable for a win or go home game is just straight up lying. Nneka , Chiney , Candace all of them will play tonight. Coach reeve gets a pass since we actually saw the play that Took brunson out. Her questionable status was the only legit one i believed.

I learned my lesson the last game, rooting against Taurasi. Phoenix by 10.

Storm fans....Who would you rather face out of these two teams?

A couple weeks ago i would have said Phoenix but their big 3 has been playing well lately with bonner at the 4, now i'm not sure.

Taurasi pushed off on that jumper, but then didn't complain to the refs for not calling a foul on her.
