this is the league where a player had a rhabdo episode less than a week ago. I just pray none of them have yellow fever.

The only thing Tibbets said postgame was that Satou was not in the locker room when they went back after the game ended. 

If she can't play Friday, moving Bonner into the starting lineup, I think, won't have a big impact positively or negatively.  But their bench is now much smaller.  6 of the 8 Phoenix players played 25+ minutes, while only 4 of the 10 (9 if you don't count Stokes, who just played the final 0.3 seconds) played 25+ minutes.

I don't know what to feel about substitution stuff like that anymore after the Fever could have made the Finals over LV.

Kind of crazy that the Storm took LV to 3 and Indy took LV to 5 (and OT in game 5!), but Phoenix is likely going to go winless in the finals against LV unless they salvage a game on Friday (so that LV can actually win it all in front of their fans, since they won 2022 and 23 on the road).  Phoenix has had 2 close, but no cigar, losses so far - AT's blown FTs in game 1 and DB's missed jumper that could have sent game 3 to OT after a furious comeback. 

But it was always a bad matchup - Phoenix's guards just cannot do what Indy's guards did all game against the LV guards and they don't have a big enough body inside to handle A'ja. You've said it, the only thing that has seemingly kept Phoenix in game 1 and 3 is whatever the fuck LV thinks they're doing at the end of games offensively.

I am seriously loving the games either way. 

A lot goes into coaching besides the shit that is "obvious" to point out. I think there is a lot that Becky does behind the scenes that makes up for whatever the fuck her staff and team does to close games. 

Phoenix is a really good team. I feel for AT. She's a great fucking player. She just isn't as good as this girl.

AT seems mindfucked a little

There was a specific play she basically had an uncontested lane to the basket and DB had to yell at her to move her ass and go score

Also coaching - Tibbets not calling a TO to draw up a play to score a go-ahead bucket, versus Becky calling one with 5 seconds left to make sure the ball got to A'ja at the end of the game.

Yeah that was like mid 4Q. I think after break the announcers highlighted that one. 

A'Ja is just too good and she has some absolute fucking DOGS around her. And this isn't Becky's first rodeo.

I think it was pretty clear she was concussed.   She could barely stand.   I hope it wasnt spinal related as well.

Yeah, she isnt playing like she normally does.    Almost gunshy to go into the lane against A'ja.   She is used to being able to barrel down the lane but A'ja takes that bump and can still block her shot.
