The WNBA is BACK!!!!!

[LTtxfan 49007]

Dumb 1st Rd format...

The playoffs last for three rounds, starting with a three-game series in the first round, in which the higher seed hosts the first two games. That format helped simplify travel before the league started flying exclusively on charters this season. The 2-1 series has been in place since 2022, and though the lower seed has forced a decisive Game 3 three times at its home arena, the higher seed has never failed to advance. The semifinal round is a five-game series (2-2-1 format), as are the WNBA Finals.

Just fucking terrible

As it should be.

DeWanna Bonner… so, so close.

Tipping the playoffs at 1PM on a NFL Sunday is fucking malpractice

So, I wonder if she edged the second-place finisher by a fingernail.  👆

[Underdog 28459]

Congrats to my girl! Now if Caitlin would just stop putting her eye on my girl's fingernails everything would be good. 

[d2o 1602]

 

Crazy the shit they deal with.

[d2o 1602]

This is crazy.   Firing her after one season bullshit

 

 

 

[Braff Zacklin 13430]

Apparently she was too short to coach Angel Reese.

Don't mind Angel Reese but she's really gotta stop playing the victim card. She's said 3-4 times this year no one has ever believed in her abilities and that's simply not true. She was the #2 overall recruit in HS. And has been a big name in women's basketball circles forever.

And once again Angela manages to make it about herself. 
 

black woman in sports?  Nah there aren’t a lot

I hate that they put these games on NFL Sundays but this is a very good number

Fiebich had a very nice close to the season.   Her spot would have been Brink's barring injury though.   Damn good rookie squad either way

This guy does a decent Liam

here he is terrorizing his wife

 

 

 

 

[d2o 1602]

Damn, finally getting to play over there and tears her ACL in her first game

There'll be a new WNBA Champion crowned as the Liberty dispatched LV in 4.

The Liberty have never won a championship even though they were one of the eight original teams. I'm rooting for them this time around.

Glad we have at least one more game to ogle watch Carrington.

They've been to the finals more than any other team too (6 times).   I really wanted LV to get the threepeat.   Ah well.   Gotta start another revenge tour next yr.

Good little game here through 3. 

Stew working on putting up a nice little GOAT resume for CC to try and take down.

Can't decide if Ionescu is good or not.

She apparently can't either. 

[ztejas 43269]

Collier giving them that fucking work. Maybe the best player in the league rn. 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

NY went into burn the clock mode and couldn’t score. MN was loose and couldn’t miss. MN hits a three and was fouled to go up by one with seconds left. All kind of clusterfuckery by the refs and Stewie gets two free throws to win at the end and misses the second. Overtime. NY had this.

[ztejas 43269]

That's a horrendous loss. Not sure they can come back from that in a 5 game series. 

[ztejas 43269]

Collier 21/8/2 on 10/16 shooting plus 3 swipes and 6 blocks. 

That's some Tim Duncan type Finals shit.

[ztejas 43269]

Them white girls need to get their shit together. 14/47 isn't going to cut it for Stew and Sabrina. 

[Pam Cummings 9591]

Liberty choked it big time

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Shocked to see the Lynx win, I turned it off with like 7 min left and they were down like 13

[ztejas 43269]

Liberty by 14 in G2.

Stew with 7 swipes. That seems like a lot.

They tried to give this one away too but managed to get their shit together and close it out.   This is a great series so far.

[Deej 76585]

So you're saying we might get three more games of shitty basketball?

[d2o 1602]

Interesting.    I'm not a big fan of 3x3 but props to them for getting a deal done.

The 2024 WNBA Finals is already one for the books.

The championship series between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx has drawn in record viewership through the first two games, averaging 1.24 million viewers, an 82% increase from last year's Finals between the Liberty and Las Vegas Aces.

The Lynx's 95-93 overtime victory over the Liberty in Game 1 on ESPN brought in 1.1 million viewers Thursday. It was the most-viewed Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in league history, according to the network.

Game 2 did even better. The Liberty's 80-66 win over the Lynx drew 1.34 million viewers to ABC to become the most-viewed WNBA Finals game in 23 years.

 

Very cool.

Imagine if Clark was playing...
