Golden State freezing and playing like they woke up and suddenly realized they're playing in the Finals naked in front of 5 million people.

Lots of nervous energy from them and the Dream are playing with reckless abandon.

51-50 Valkyries. Been a great crowd so far. Not a fan of letting the Dream hang around though.

Build a lead and don't allow the Dream to suck out a late basket to steal the game.

Just get this weird feeling that the Valkyries will just keel over and die for the remainder of the series. I refuse to watch a single second of these finals, but judging from comments made on social media, they sounded pretty bad today. The W would love nothing more than for Angel to win a ring so they could advertise her as the new "queen" of the league.

The Fever desperately need to be revamped from players to coaches if they want to have a chance. Don't see that happening though.

They didn't shoot great and they were sloppy with the ball. Bonner picked their pockets 4 times for fast breaks.

Valkyries have way way overachieved this year with that team. And I certainly don't expect them to roll over and die with their coaching staff. Atlanta is better at every position. Gabby Williams is the only player that would start on Atlanta and unfortunately had a really bad game last night. These are also by far the 2 best defensive teams in the league so it's going to be ugly basketball. Atlanta should win as they are by far the more talented team but still hoping Golden State can somehow pull this off.
