The Aces remain a feared juggernaut despite a 2-5 stretch that occurred from June 21 to July 6. Vegas raced out to the best start in the league before Chicago overtook it. In the Commissioner’s Cup championship game, the Sky will face MVP candidate A’ja Wilson and the formidable starting lineup of the Las Vegas Aces (20-8). Whether that be when it comes to repeating when the WNBA Finals roll around or winning the second-ever Commissioner’s Cup championship Tuesday night in Chicago. The story of the 2022 Sky is ‘watch out because they won it all last year after going 16-16 and now they're in first place at 21-7.’ With Emma Meesseman, Rebekah Gardner and Julie Allemand replacing Diamond DeShields, Stefanie Dolson and Astou Ndour-Fall as key contributors, they Sky’s talent level hasn’t taken a dip and they are locked in in a way they weren’t last regular season, knowing that, in any playoff format, it’s going to be easier to win the championship as a higher seed.Īll in all, Sky fans should like their team’s chances, yet again. Most liked the Sky’s chances when they acquired Parker and one person in particular was Courtney Vandersloot, who felt that the team had been one specific player away from winning a championship and that that player was undoubtedly Candace Parker. Last year, Candace Parker’s mantra was “I like our chances.” During regular-season struggles when she didn't want to get too down and during playoff successes when she didn’t want to get ahead of herself - that was always the message.
