Vegas celebrating their championship.
What an uninspiring final week for Phoenix. I know this game was “meaningless” but it can’t be easy going into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak. Really hoping that Taurasi is just resting because I don’t see the team getting the job done without her.

I don't see them getting it done with her either. But who am I?

I think a success for this team is getting to a winner takes all game in the semis and putting something together. Get to the finals? Even better.
Without Taurasi, Thursday is even scary.
And to think, 9 days ago I thought Phoenix was looking like the best team in the league.

Phoenix with another 5 seed and I wonder if it's talent, coaching or a combination. You have one of the most dominant players on the interior who is giving everything every night and they still end up middle of the pack.
I personally felt these last 3 games were important to gauge the teams potential and so far I'm underwhelmed.

I mean, it sure sounds like somebody in the crowd is cheering for Vegas. |
I mean they literally showed a crowd of Aces fans... which again makes my point that Phoenix fans ain't cheering for Cambage. |
That seems to me like a nit that wasn't worth picking, but YMMV.

The PHX bench kept it competitive against the second best team in the league. They were very competitive in all three games. They're capable of an upset but can't see them winning a series against any of the top 4. I see them winning both single elims and then likely getting swept in the semis.

Which could be an epic game. Would love for it to match the 2017 semis intensity.

Phoenix is definitely capable of beating Vegas IF healthy in a series.

| Phoenix would probably have to go through the Sun first before playing the Aces, unless the Lynx lose in round 2.

I mean, let’s be real - they didn’t have Taurasi for the last three games.
She may not be the best player on the team anymore, but she’s still the leader and the “head of the snake.” Both Brit and Skylar play off of her.
It sucks because DT being out out the whole team off of their rhythm, but they might pick it up when she’s back.

The score was 83-75 Phoenix when I asked for the game to be turned on at the restaurant where we were having lunch.
I'm just saying. You're welcome, Vegas.
