An honest to goodness dynasty!

Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their 3rd championship in 4 years. Such an interesting season of ups and downs for this team, but they turned it on when the lights were brightest.

Now we enter off-season... And things are going to be CRAZY!

Live head coaching minutes for Kristi Toliver down the stretch here for Phoenix.

Will be interested to see if she'll be doing so for another team to start next season!

It has been all Aces at this point. They're playing about as close to perfect basketball as you could expect!

28 mins to another title.

Love to see a commercial for Line 'Em Up!

Hope we can see more of them!

An early 3 from Sami Whitcomb should be huge for her confidence. Really hope she gets a chance to heat up from deep tonight.

Tibbetts going to Kalani Brown early. She's only played 4 mins in the series, so at least we're trying something different!

Cathy's "strained relationships" extend to team presidents and owners.

Seems a lockout would be imminent barring an extension of the Oct. 31 deadline

The state of CBA negotiations are, per Annie Costabile:

- No inclusion of supermax salary at or exceeding $1M in first year of deal
- Proposed supermax closer to $850K; veteran minimum around $300K
- WNBA denied fixed salary model not tied to league revenue

Satou Sabally has been diagnosed with a concussion and is ruled out for Game 4 tomorrow. This is a huge loss for Phoenix, as Satou has been one of their leading scorers so far in this series.

Honestly, I'm relieved that it seems it's not a more serious injury to her neck or spine.

Absolutely

I respect Becky for using all of her pieces when she needs to, like putting Kiah in at the end to defend.

Why would Nate not put in his tallest defenders for that last possession after the timeout? Natasha Mack needs to be out there, maybe Kalani Brown just for height.

But what's also weird is that the NBA's current CBA has the players getting 50% revenue share. Soooo I'm not sure the issue in the women asking for the same thing
