They looked like they had good sized crowds from what little I saw. Good for them. |

I heard this on the radio after the game. Can’t figure out why they played on a football Sunday—even MLB doesn’t do that with playoffs. Had they won on a Tuesday or Wednesday, could have gotten some coverage. |

Nice fucking mask Lori. Outstanding work by Phoenix to skip the media session when all the hardcore WNBA supporters bitch about no media coverage. |

Since they're FEMALES they're all cycling together so there's a chance they're all on the rag at the same time. Maybe they don't want to do interviews because combining resting bitch face with vaginal bleeding wouldn't be a good look! |

Congrats to them on the Championship! I was a bit miffed why the WNBA trophy looks so cheap compared to the NBA trophy. They should make it equal or at least respectable. I hope they get more publicity and recognition from this championship than the 81 Der Sting. |

Perhaps there wasn't. During their 8:15 sports update on 780AM, they talked about the Sky winning. They had a soundbyte from Matt Nagy congratulating them and saying how cool it was for the team and the city. Nothing from a player or a coach on the winning team

https://www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/phoen ... rasi-door/ October 17, 2021 Diana Taurasi breaks Phoenix Mercury locker room door after Game 4 loss By Alex Simon Tension runs high after the conclusion of WNBA Finals CHICAGO — The frustration of losing in the WNBA Finals – the first of her career — appears to have gotten to Diana Taurasi. Taurasi and all players of the Phoenix Mercury declined to talk to media after losing Game 4 of the WNBA Finals 80-74 to the Chicago Sky, and Taurasi in particular took out that frustration on the door into the visiting locker room, per an eyewitness. The door was severely cracked through the middle, which an eyewitness said came from Taurasi slamming the door multiple times. Neither the WNBA nor the Phoenix Mercury commented by time of publication. It looked, for most of the game, like the Mercury were going to force the series to head back to Phoenix for Game 5. But after a Brittney Griner jumper gave the Mercury a 72-65 lead with 4:42 to go in Game 4, Phoenix didn’t make another basket and only scored two points the rest of the game, when Taurasi made 2-of-3 free throws. During that shooting slump, The Sky took over the game, going on a 15-2 run to capture the game and the WNBA championship. It appeared to be a particularly exasperating day, at times, for Taurasi, who picked up a technical foul early in the first quarter. After missing a layup on a drive where she received contact but did not get a foul called against her defender, Taurasi clapped aggressively in the face of referee Tiara Cruse — the same official Taurasi pushed over in Game 2 in an attempt to get Cruse off of Sophie Cunningham. Taurasi did not get any foul for that push back on Wednesday, but later was fined $2,500 for “inappropriate contact with an official,” per the league. “I didn’t even know if was the ref though,” Taurasi said before Friday’s game when speaking to a small assembly of media that included The Next about the incident from Game 2. “I just saw legs on top of Sophie and I tried to get everyone off Sophie.” In addition to the early technical foul during Sunday’s Game 4, Taurasi was whistled for three personal fouls in the first half: a defensive foul on the offensive end with 3:13 left in the first half, an offensive foul with 8:41 left in the second quarter and a charging foul with 3:51 left in the second quarter. She was subbed out and remained out of the game for the remaining of the first half after the third foul. Taurasi didn’t commit another foul until there were 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter, a final attempt at staving off the season-ending loss. She would finish the game with 16 points on 4-for-16 shooting from the field, 3-for-9 shooting from 3-point range and 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. It’s the first time in her WNBA career that Taurasi has lost in the WNBA Finals, after winning thrice before (2007, 2009, 2014). In talking with media on Saturday, Taurasi couldn’t specifically recall when she last lost in a championship, but said it likely last occurred “in high school.” Taurasi was gracious in the moments immediately after the loss, fighting through the large crowds on the court to give congratulations to multiple players on the Sky. But it’s clear, in the hour between the final buzzer ending the game at 4:12 p.m. Central time and the Mercury’s bus leaving at 5:12 p.m. Central for the chartered flight back to Phoenix, that the missed chance at a fourth championship was not taken lightly. |

Quote: The city of Chicago will host a celebration of the Chicago Sky WNBA champions on Tuesday at Millennium Park, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.
The parade will start at Wintrust Arena at 11 a.m., with the team headed north up Michigan Avenue to the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park for a celebration starting at noon. Fans are encouraged to cheer along the parade route — and the weather should cooperate, with temperatures in the 70s. Millennium Park will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday and the Pritzker Pavilion will open at 10 a.m., according to the city. |
