A 4-0 sweep makes it clear that the Aces overwhelmed the Mercury in the #WNBAFinals.

But, how did they do it?

Through excellent execution of basic basketball fundamentals.

@jfeltonnn.bsky.social breaks down the 2 biggest reasons for the Aces' dominance:

www.swishappeal.com/e/65998

A'ja, Alanna, Phee, Rhyne, Stewie
AB, Gabby, VB, Lacan, Court/BC (i can't decide lol)

she legit had A'ja Wilson/Alanna Smith rim deterrence numbers as a 6'2 wing, which is impressive given her role changed to become more of a helpside rim protector/secondary POA this year.

I feel like Rhyne's DPOY case was so slept on because she doesn't record a lot of stocks and her on/offs basically don't change on D but the second spectrum deterrence numbers are insane

I'm very high on Rhyne and AB's defense this year so that fifth spot would've went to one of them or Stewie

I don't think AT was all-defense this year but it is what it is...

can i ask how you decided to divvy up the credit for Minny's defense since they have such a good team?

thank you!

thank you!

thank you 🙏🏽

wrote about the Brittney Sykes trade and what it means for both the Mystics and Storm in both the short-term and long-term 🏀✍🏾

that’s fair. i think Cheryl realized Dorka > MHA was the answer by game 4 but i do think MHA was the biggest reason they lost game 3

I think if they win game 3, they win the series in 4

she’s the biggest reason they lost game 3 imo.

*flashback to the MHA trade which literally costed Minnesota a championship last year*

championship contenders who trade for terrible margins players with horrible +/- priors NEVER bodes well

Experience all the best plays from the first two months of the season all over again!
