For no particular reason I am reminded that you should always read the Aces' game notes.

Kah is so athletic she can guard a 2, so I would put her on Plum. At least she won't forget Plum is left handed, and make her butt drive right. Laughing And, when Copper goes to the bench, put Beks on her.

The rest of the league is off until Thursday. Must be nice to get rest like that down the stretch. [Sarcasm]

After all the crazy back-to-backs, teams need a break. If travel was a challenge prior to the pandemic, it has to be a worse nightmare now. Not sure how it didn't register that we had terrible storms overnight when the Sky had to fly out to DC.

Anywho, I will be in the building! Very Happy Let's get a win (and the money that comes along with it! I hope it's a good game.

Is my perception correct that the selection of games that qualified for the CC was random, or was there actually some method to the madness? Rolling Eyes

This game should be on ABC to bring in a large audience. How many people watch sports on Amazon Prime?🤔

Not random at all. It’s the first home game and the first road game against each of your old school conference opponents. Every team has 5 conference opponents, so that adds up to 10 games each team plays for the Commissioner’s Cup standings.

We will find out soon as the Aces embark on a 6-game, 13-day road trip.

OUR (COMMISSIONER’S) CUP RUNNETH OVER
The Aces and Chicago Sky both finished Commissioner’s Cup play with 9-1 records, and clinched the Western and Eastern Conference spots respectively in the Cup Championship Game on July 26. Chicago is hosting the game by virtue of winning the 2nd tiebreaker— best overall record as of the All-Star Break.

For the Aces, hitting the road for the Commissioner’s Cup adds to an already lengthy road trip scheduled to begin at the end of the month. Las Vegas plays six straight road games over 13 days from July 26 through August 7. That is one of the longest continuous road trips in WNBA history.

To not have this game on at least ESPN is troubling. Is the game a big deal, or not? Sending it over to Prime will GUANRANTEED lesser viewership, and that is crazy. Do they want to grow the game or not?

Indeed it makes no sense - if this is supposed to help expose the league to a wider audience with a special game, this is a major fail. Embarassed

And if it played in Seattle, even fewer people would see it because that license restricts viewing to those living in Washington State, even after the game, and whether the game is in Seattle or elsewhere! They are available on LP, though.

Prime Video seems to have a number of sports available, but many require an add-on subscription (e.g., NBA TV, MLB.TV, Paramount+, CBS Sports) or are selective about what games are offered for free. NFL Thursday night games will be included in the monthly price ($8.99).

Can they get 50 in the first quarter? Of course they need to be up by at least 30 with 5 minutes to go or the bench unit will lose it.

Chicago needs to stop shooting damn 3's...
0-12 thus far... Drive to the basket, and make them foul to get to the line.
Slow LV's momentum.

Allie and CP both need to stop jacking them for sure. Mid-range shots are ok too.

Duplicate- but still true. We're coming back but we have to stop them (we're letting them stroll through the park) and make our shots! Evil or Very Mad

Dumb 2nd foul Candace, you are 1 million feet away from the basket, no need to foul that far out.

Chicago was looking at the last shot and cutting it to 10 or leaving it at 12. And then, Aces steal and get a basket with 0.25 seconds left in the half.

Don't think it was anything she did. Allemande was brought in and used as the backup point guard. And I think rookie Gardner is the first backup at shooting guard.
