The 8th and final WNBA playoff spot will be either the Storm (Ogwumike) or LA Sparks (Brink). LA needs to win its last two and hope Seattle loses to the Valkyries (who have clinched the 7th spot with no way of moving up or down). If so, LA and Seattle would end up tied for 8th and I think LA would prevail on the tie breaker having won the regular season series against Seattle.

Brink had a good stat line in LA's win over the weekend, only 15 minutes but 6 pts 9 reb 2 ast 1 blk, and No Fouls! Only her second foul-free appearance all season.

The Valks fan in me needs to correct that in fact the Valks could still finish 6th or 8th - we'll finish 6th if we win tonight against Seattle or if the Fever lose against the Lynx. We finish 8th if Seattle wins and the Fever win both remaining games. I think everyone wants to avoid the Lynx, so these last few games matter quite a bit!
