Probably deserves its own thread.
Well, here we go... probably the Sun's last chance to win one with this core group that was assembled starting in 2014 and 2015 with the Thomas's. Bri Jones, Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman all hit free agency and it seems unlikely that these guys can run it back without restructuring several contracts.
The Aces are super-impressive in many aspects. Chelsea Gray has been as good or better than anyone has ever been in the playoffs. As Geno has said, you have to have really, really good guards to win a championship. The Aces have that, and they have a size/strength advantage over the Sun guards. Can the Sun's disruptive team defense keep the Aces guards from running over and around Natisha and Courtney? The Sun should have an advantage in the front court but then there's the MVP playing great basketball herself.
I think on paper the Aces look like the significant favorite overall, but then so did the Sky and here we are in Vegas. This is not a mission impossible for the Sun, but they are going to need all the mojo of the last series to carry over right from the jump.
GO SUN!!!
