WNBA ‘offs Commence Tonight

The WNBA playoffs with a new format open tonight with two games as the defending champion Chicago Sky face the (16-20) New York Liberty (I read “it” wrong and the Liberty snuck in winning their last 3 tilts) followed by the Las Vegas Aces meeting the (15-21) Phoenix Mercury.

Both the Sky and Aces headed their conferences with (26-10) records.

Tomorrow night the (25-11) Connecticut Sun face the (18-18) Dallas Wings while the Seattle Storm get home advantage vs the also (22-14) Washington Mystics.

The higher seeded team in all 4 series gets the first 2, perhaps only 2 at home in the best of 3 first round series, however, somewhat incredibly a decisive game 3, if necessary would be played in the lower seed’s building. Ouch!
