It begins tomorrow, then a days rest and then the winners from tomorrow's games travel to either Washington or Connecticut.
Some injury news.
Lynx - Robinson is OUT, Brunson questionable
Sparks - Nneka is questionable
Wings - Davis is OUT, Hill questionable
Mercury - nothing to report
Others news - The sales for tomorrow's 2 games are going very well but. Phoenix aren't playing at their usual home venue either. They are playing out of ASU tomorrow night so beware that its a venue that is going to be smaller and newer to both teams.
The winners of these 2 games will get seeded again and the lowest place winner will go and play Washington at another venue as the Mystics aren't playing out of their usual arena either and the highest place winner from tomorrow will go and play Connecticut.
Big day, plenty to read and cap. Good luck. Will post my plays under the one thread for the first 2 rounds.

Looks as though the Mercury has booked a flight to take on Connecticut in 2 days time. Re-match of last season again. Mercury won that game so maybe the Sun will want some revenge.
Minnesota Lynx @ Los Angeles Sparks: Sparks -6
No Brunson, Agler rested Nneka for this game surely the game before. Beard will have the fun time of looking after Maya. Fowles might be hard to stop but we shall see. Bit or revenge for the Sparks in this game to kick the Lynx out of the season after last year's WNBA Finals. Expect to see big mins from both starting 5's and most likely only 2-3 bench players used. If I look at the benches, Sparks have a much better bench. Lynx got a nice win vs the Mystics but I do believe it may have been because Thibault treats Whalen like his daughter and was a nice sending off in front of the Minny fans. But this is playoff basketball and I just think the Sparks D will lock down big time. The Lynx 1H TT is set at 36.5 which is awfully low but as we all know, the books know more than us.

Amazing games, Toliver against her old team, EDD has to show up. Sparks weren't good today at all. Bit of travel on short rest for them. They just came back from Connecticut, back home for this game and now back to Washington. All that since Sunday. Interesting.
The other game, well we all know how good Taurasi is. Bonner showed up big time tonight as well. Sun have a very tough game on their hands and will have their home loss this time last year fresh in their minds. Miller has a big choice to make because Jones has been fantastic in her last 2 starts. Something to consider before betting that game IMHO. Chiney should be back. If I was Miller, I would have Chiney off the bench and start Jones.

Surprised to see yesterday LMitchell getting 0 court time (playd only the meaningless 4th q)
LAS suffered as expected, the hcap was a coin toss, it was under due to bad shot %s but pace was decent.
Starting to think about next round games, CON was a clear bet but spread will be between 5-7 which seems a bit excessive.
WAS - LAS I see it as a very even game. Atkins is back for WAS in comparation to the last game they played.
69-67 was due to the awful last minutes, if they put the o/u line down some points due to that result I guess we should play the over.
It was very strange WK that Leilani didn't play much of that game but I guess Brondello has a plan up her sleeve and she went with it. So found out about Nneka, she has been dealing with an illness called mononucleosis. That is why she has been missing games the past month. Also, Parker had a stomach virus leading into the game vs the Lynx which explains a few things as well because she didn't look good on the court at times.
Its now or never for Thibault. He has had several chances with the Mystics to do something in the post-season and hasn't delivered. The silly thing is, this game vs the Sparks won't be at their usual home court, its being played somewhere else. Still an advantage though for the Mystics with the Sparks potentially being tired from travel.

The teams that play on Friday are ranked as follows
1. Mystics
2. Sun
3. Mercury
4. Sparks.
The highest seeded winning team goes onto play the Dream in Atlanta in a 5 game series. It will either be Mystics/Sun/Mercury.
The lowest seeded winning team goes on to play the Seattle Storm in Seattle for a 5 game series. If the Sparks win their game, the are destined to play the Storm as they are the lowest team there is. They have no chance of getting to Atlanta.
Round 3 should be starting Sunday or Monday. Not sure just yet.
