Last year I enjoyed the Aces winning as much as I would have the Fever because Vegas had Megan and Kiah.
Not so much this year.

I don't think that is accurate. Didn't CC have a layup late in the 3rd/early 4th?
Yeah, she did hit one more shot very late. Obviously, not nearly enough production, though.
I’m celebrating that I put Legend on ignore and don’t have to see his posts anymore. I very rarely do that to anyone, but can’t stand posters that don’t live in the real world and then quadruple down in their idiocy.
When you shoot just 38% from the field as a team it is really difficult to win games.
The 6 missed FTs and numerous missed bunnies were killers.
She's certainly the MVP of the league and she showed in throughout the series.
Looking at the stats, the teams made 30 and 29 FGs, 9 and 8 3pt FGs, had the same number of TOs and pts off TOs. The only real difference is the Aces made 28 FTs while the Fever made 14.
The Aces got 35 attempts, the Fever got 20…you’re not beating too many teams with that kind of differential.
Yep. She came out in the first with the kind of juice she had last game, and then it went away after that. I don't know if she was under the weather, or just not her night but she just didn't have that oommppff we saw the other night. And then Mitchell goes 6-18 or whatever and they have no shot on the road.
CC had 15 assists in Indy on Tuesday. She had 10 in game one. She had 4 tonight. Shots just didn't get made.

The "phantom" foul late in the game by Boston on Wilson (fell down dribbling up the court) was critical. Wilson's free throws extended the lead to six.
The Fever need to come out of the gate firing on all cylinders next year so they don't end up with another 6 seed and have to win a game at Vegas or Atlanta to get out of the first round again.
Has not shot well, and not the same juice (or fight) since early on. Still it would help those assists (all 4 in the first Q) if someone could make a shot. Wilson has them all intimidated in the lane.
CC and KM can be so good, but after a very promising first 5 minutes they both just didn't have it and petered out. If just one of them stayed hot, the Fever win. Major bummer.
Fever simply cannot afford to have Kelsey and Caitlin struggle shooting on the same night, That said the phantom foul call on AB with fever down 4 with 46 seconds left was just a killer.
The foul on Mitchell when Gray mugged her from behind, and the one late where Wilson was dribbling up to half court and she tripped and fell into Boston's legs, (foul on Boston who never got near her until Wilson fell into her), just more examples of the lunacy of WNBA officiating. We knew going in that the Fever would have to be a head by 12-14 points to overcome the lopsided calls for the Aces. Nothing surprising at all. That doesn't get into the foul on Hull in the first have where the Aces players hooked Hulls arm and pulled her to the floor on top of her. Foul on Hull. Lololol.. Its literally like watching the globetrotters or banana ball the officiating nonsense.
Lexi Hull.... 13 minutes, 0 FG attempts. Remember when Lexi was a knockdown 3pt shooter? Sophie made a big three, but then never even shot another one.
Fever are in desperate need of an overhaul. They have no depth, weak in the paint, and can't play defense. Caitlin won't get anywhere with the way they are now. Judging by some clips, I made the right choice in not watching. Aja still gets her special whistle and the Fever are getting tackled by the Aces.
Between this and the Steelers losing, the Hawks are probably going to get destroyed on Saturday too.

Mitchell gets mauled, foul on Mitchell. This is SO hard to watch, and take this seriously......
That's the big issue. If they don't get a super game from both Clark and Mitchell every game, they aren't beating any of the top teams. Hull 0, Timpson 4(didn't play in the 2nd half)? Billings 0, RJ 2, Sophie 5. Hines Allen with 12 was the only non starter who contributed at all. Its the big three score 70 points or go home.
Same discrepancy in attempts in all the games. Actually the other two were more lopsided for the Aces
I think it was closer than that when Mitchell rebounded her own miss and then Gray mugged her from behind, foul on Mitchell, and Gray shoots free throws.
Bummer of a game. At least she can be guest picker.
The final score isn’t reflective of how close the game was and how the refs totally influenced the outcome of the game
