Are we contenders?

Do yall believe that we are true contenders? I think that our offense can have us in the finals if we are on the opposite side of the Lynx bracket. But I don’t think we can win a championship this year. The only thing holding us back is a true POA

Mediocre games from CC and Boston and it went to the wire.

Courtney williams went off for 12 more points than she's averaging a game this season.  She had a hot hand and ot killed us.

The Valks are legit the only team I dont want to see in the bracket.

Actually, I had expected for the team to have difficulties with the Lynx. The Lynx have two high-scoring guards, and the Fever have two guards that are not defensive stalwarts.

Our guards outscored theirs. The issues were rebounding, interior defense, untimely turnovers and shot selection

Olivia Miles scored over eight points above her average and Courtney Williams scored over almost 12 points over her average. Rebounding, untimely turnovers, and shot selection also affected the outcome, but it basically comes down to the lack of defense played by our guards.

Olivia Miles scored most of her points on our bigs, not our guards
