Quick look at the schedule:

Mercury magic number is 1 against the Fever and Wings, so I think they make the playoffs

L = game against current lottery team


Mystics 3L and Sky at home
Sun 3L and Sky at home
Sparks 2L, Aces, Storm, Lynx
Aces 1L (Dream), Sparks, Mercury
Sky 1L (Wings), Mercury, Sun and Mystics on the road

Looks like Sun and Mystics have the easiest schedule so should clinch 1 and 2, while Sparks and Aces fight over 3 and 4. Sky have probably the hardest schedule.

All I can hope for as a Sky fan is that either the Sparks or Aces somehow lay goose eggs the rest of the way so they can get #4 Laughing. Sky can’t seem to beat the Lynx and Taurasi doesn’t lose winner take all games.

Sparks loss to WAS pretty much prevented us from getting a top two seed. I'm not sure that I fully trust CON, but I don't think they can screw this up. Best we can do is hold on for the # 3 seed, and that way we avoid WAS until the finals (if we can make it there).

I'm trying to make a plane reservation based on if the Storm will have a home game on Sept. 11 or not (5 or 6 seed). It's starting to look like they most likely won't have a home game that day -- will end up 7 or 8 seed--unless they do really well the rest of the season Smile

Mercury looking like they'll end up as the #8 seed. I'm going to say the Sparks slip down to the #5 seed and Sky get the #4 seed.

#5 Los Angeles vs. #8 Phoenix
#6 Seattle vs. #7 Minnesota

lowest remaining seed vs. #3 Las Vegas Aces
highest remaining seed vs. #4 Chicago Sky

lowest remaining seed vs. #1 Washington Mystics
highest remaining seed vs. #2 Connecticut Sun

If they beat them Tuesday they'll probably end up ahead

My guesses as of right now: 1. WAS 2. CON 3. LAS 4. LVA 5. CHI 6. MIN 7. PHO 8. SEA

CHI beats SEA, MIN beats PHO
LAS beats MIN, LVA beats CHI
WAS beats LVA in 4, LAS beats CON in 4
WAS beats LAS in 5

I’d love/hate it, cuz I want both teams to get a ‘ship. At least in that scenario, one of them would Twisted Evil

Contenders I’m rooting for this year:
1A. Sun
1B. Mystics
3. Sky
4. Aces

If I weren’t a Storm fan, nor a fan of the Merc/Sparks/Lynx, I’d be so sick of the same 4 teams making postseason noise Rolling Eyes As it is now, I’m sick of those other 3. Idk how the rest of y’all stomach some of us fans of those teams. It’s ridiculous how the other 8 teams have ONE championship between them and the Big 4 combined have... 13? Surprised this ain’t a 4-team league at this point. It’s high time we get an East Regime up in this league. Maybe this is the start of one, who knows. Ok rant over Very Happy

Part of me is hoping the Sun make the final so I can make a trip out to Mohegan Sun to see a WNBA Finals. Because who knows when the Liberty will be in one....

Very Happy ... And DOWN the stretch they come!


Mystics without Toliver.
Sparks at nearly full staff, but too gimpy in the bigs, to do the mythic Candace at the 3 line-up.
Aces got Wilson back, but wtf is the Plum situation.

Yeah there's still drama to happen.
