WNBA 2018 comes to a close
Nothing groundbreaking in that headline after Breanna Stewart was named WNBA MVP for both the regular season and the finals after leading the Seattle Storm to the best record in the league (26-8) and their third WNBA title. Although the finals were a little anticlimactic with only one game decided by fewer than 13 points, […]
A fresh finals: Seattle Storm vs. Washington Mystics
There are some new teams meeting in the finals. The Washington Mystics will make their first appearance in team history, while Seattle hasn’t made it this far since 2010 when they beat Atlanta. In what had been a highly entertaining regular season, the excitement carried over to the semi-finals. Seattle needed three chances to pick […]
Semi-finals have arrived
With the single elimination format eliminating the Sun, Sparks, Lynx and Wings, we have the matchups set for the best of five semifinals. Seattle will host the Mercury who are playing some of their best basketball of the season, especially DeWanna Bonner, but will face the league’s top team. In the other series the Mystics […]
Weekly Rebound: Playoff Edition
The playoffs are just around the corner, so it is time for a little change to the rebound this week — we’ll take a close look at each team in the league. For the playoff teams I’ll give you a reason to support them and why they will be crowned the champion this season. The […]
Weekly Rebound: Top of the league is fun, bottom not so much
Without spoiling to much of what I have in this week’s Rebound, the headline here really does tell the whole story. Any top team could be another on any given night, but if you dare watch the bottom half play each other you have been warned it may not be the best game of the […]
Weekly Rebound: Every game is important
With just over a week left in the season, every game has added importance with how tight the standings are between the three and eight seed — only separated by two and a half games. Las Vegas is the only lower-ranked team with a chance to sneak in. I would hate to look too far […]
Weekly Rebound: I’m alive and so is Liz Cambage
I’M BACK! I took a little time off, and wow was it ever the wrong three weeks to take off. A bunch of records have fallen, the top teams continue to knock each other off the top creating an interesting playoff field top to bottom. But enough about me and let me tell you what […]
Week Five Rebound: Oh, how the mighty have fallen
STARTING LINE-UP 5 main stories of the week: 1) Lynx are back: They may have started the season 3-6 but after four straight wins the Lynx have finally woken up from their hibernation (do Lynx even hibernate)? Impressive wins over the Wings and Mercury this week are nothing to get skeptical about as those are […]
Week Four Rebound: Indiana wins, Connecticut panics, Delle Donne returns
I like to break things into tiers and lists. Organization helps me focus, so I decided to do the same with WNBA teams. There are the top five looking to secure a bye to the semi-finals, or at least the (quarter-finals): Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Washington and Connecticut. The middle group is focused on securing […]
Week Three Rebound: Front of the pack separating from the field
A few teams have begun to separate themselves from the pack as we reach the point in the season where results are at least slightly more predictable. Connecticut continues their strong play from last season as they have the look of a team that can compete for years to come. Seattle is enjoying the performances […]
