Hopefully for the Sparks, Candace's anger will be reignited after watching the Olympics. There is no way that Stewart deserved the spot over her. And I cheer for the Storm.

Candace Parker is the most talented player for the Sparks.
But Kristi Tolliver is their most important player. She's really the only perimeter player that can get her own without needing anyone else. Sparks go as far as she does.

Well it's another good one tonight. Kristi is the best regular season shooter in the league. I don't know what it is about the playoffs but she is a completely different player.
Her value is greater against Minny and their frontcourt

I liken her to JR Smith which is why I dont think LA can beat minny in a playoff series. Too inconsistent and candance is too "flimsy" and soft against minny's frontline.
Great win last night though. I enjoyed that

Sparks with a big time win tonight. Down by as many as 22.
Candace with an all time performance tonight. 31 13 and 7. 25 in the 2nd half.
Sparks 14-1.

Great win for the Dream today. They were very aggressive overall, and they all stepped up.
Toliver was not good at all today.
I know the Sparks lost, but Nneka was dominant. Too bad for her foul trouble, though.
Maya is still the best!
I'm getting back into my WNBA groove

Anyone keeping up?
Lynx advanced to their 5th Finals in 6 years, trying to become the first repeat champ since the Sparks in '02.
Sparks up 2-1 on the Sky, trying to close it out tonight, 10/4/2016.
Anyone notice the 'top 8' playoff format? That's why there could be a west vs. west Finals with Minnesota Lynx playing the LA Sparks.

Sucks that Delle Donne is recovering from surgery. Chicago is scrappy though and keeps fighting. Quigley bae is doing ok.
What was up with the phoenix mercury? I thought with taurasi and griner they had a slight chance against the lynx.

One of the most fraudulent stars in WNBA history, imo. We're in the Finals because we have a well-balanced, well-coached team, as with any team in a championship.
But she'll get all of the credit.

Theres something to be said about embracing star power and feeding the narrative. She'll get all the credit cause the media puts her at the center of it all and she responds accordingly.

Was confused as hell at first by the some of the playoff matchups.
Then I found out that they switched the playoff format this year.
Sparks and Lynx in the WNBA Finals instead of the WCF as they should be.

- This playoff format is trash. No way should any team skip straight through to the semifinals. Also, there's no place for single game elimination in professional basketball, WNBA included.
- This season really was the perfect storm for the LA Sparks. They grabbed the 2nd seed, which allowed them to avoid Minnesota until the finals because of the wacky playoff format. Also, on top of that the format put them straight in the WCF then to top it all off, they ran into a Chicago team that was without della donne. So much went right for LAS this season, but credit to them for taking advantage of this. No way do they make the finals in last season's playoff format. They aren't better than minnesota, and idk if they would have beaten phoenix this year either.
- It really sucks that they have to play a finals home game at the galen center. First time in over a decade the sparks get in the finals and they have to play game 3 at the Galen. Semi unrelated, but I would be in full support of them playing their home games at the galen instead of STAPLES anyway.
All that being said, I hope they shock the hell out of me, even though I don't think they will. Pulling for LA but Minnesota will be too much.

Same here, and I'm a fan.
We're not better than them, in any facet.
