Phoenix Mercury appreciation thread

[Cap]

The Mercury elo ate the Sparks and move to the West Finals.

The game on ESPN2 is followed by the NWSL Semifinal, Seattle vs. Washington. As long as we're being pigs and judging athletes on their looks, this is much better than the WNBA. Seattle's goalie, Hope Solo (isn't that a Star Wars character?) looks like Megan Fox.

Griner had another dunk tonight as well
(this image is not it, but its awesome)

Mercury appreciation? Penny Taylor is SMOKIN' . . .

Agreed!

It's the first dunk in WNBA playoff history.

Griner > Len

[Dan H]

Hmm. What would the legalities be of signing Griner to a Suns contract?

[In2ition]

The fanbase would sue you for being just too dumb to run an NBA franchise.

[Superbone]

When's the next game?

[Cap]

Western Conference Finals
Game 1: Friday, 7:00 PM Arizona time, on NBA TV.
Game 2: Sunday, 12:30 PM Arizona time, on ABC.
Game 3: Tuesday, 7:00 PM Arizona time, on NBA TV. (If necessary)

[Superbone]

Thanks, Cap. I found game 1 but couldn't find game 2. Never thought to look on national TV!

[Superbone]

Watching WCF game one against the defending champion Lynx. Man, I sure wouldn't want to run into McCarville in a dark alley.

[TOO]

I have tried multiple times to watch WNBA games and I just cant. Its so ugly and unathletic. Its like watching 10 old dudes at the gym play ball.

[Cap]

The game was blacked out in Phoenix.

[jkalldaway]

Great game. Really a fun team to watch.

[Cap]

Jkalldaway, now there's a name I haven't seen for a long time! How ya been?

Wish I could have seen the game. Smokin' Penny had a smokin' stat line with 16 points (3-9 FG, 10-11 FT), 13 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

[Wally_West]

Anyone watching? The game is getting pretty interesting down the stretch.

[Superbone]

Yep, watched it. Led the whole game and lost at the end. Maya Moore is pretty good.

[Cap]

Yay, the game's not blacked out this time.

[SDC]

the difference between griner and amare is that griner plays defense.

[Cap]

Taurasi's personal 13-0 run to break the game open was awesome.
