Phoenix Mercury 2017 Season Thread

We really miss DeWanna Bonner. DB has stepped up so many times in a game, in a season, when we lost one of our stars. She has truly been an unsung hero. Congratulations on her being a Mom, but I sure look forward to her return next season.

Bump. 'Good article on AzCentral.com today echoing my feelings.

Failed to clinch a playoff spot last night.

I seriously cannot rememebr the last team we have beaten the Lynx. We get destroyed every single time.

Next up, LA Sparks at home. I've got my "Beat LA" Mercury shirt ready to go.

I understand the need to give Diana a rest because she was dragging, but why vs. L.A. and why in a TV game? It could have just as easily been the game before.

I lasted until BG's fourth foul and didn't have to watch the Sparks' 11-0 run and blowout from then on.

OK, now it's back to playoff talk.

Great win! Was not pretty and it was a close game almost the whole way. Leilani Mitchell's two threes were so clutch and then DT's kill shot - AWESOME.

Griner was a freaking beast tonight. Great game by the team, overall. The reffing favored us this game, for sure. But I ain't complaining!

The team is responding better to when teams are double teaming Griner.

We secured a home playoff game tonight, which is great. Without double checking, the worst we can be is the the 6 seed and if we win on Sunday I believe we will be the 5th seed (too lazy to double check all of this)
