the wnba playoff schedule is not doing it for me :/ the worst was game 2 of the first round, when the fever and aces were still playing almost 9 minutes after the lynx and liberty tipped off. and sunday's semifinal games were about as fast as it gets: both tipped only 4 minutes late, and the aces and valkyries still tipped off at 1:03 pt while the liberty and dream didn't finish until 1:09 pt game length here is tipoff to final buzzer. this regular season averaged 2 hours and 6 minutes, the longest since the league started in 1997. for the first 26 seasons, the average regular season game was 2 hours or less. in 2019, 78% of games finished in under 2 hours. this season, 28% did. playoff games ran longer than the regular season in 23 of the 29 seasons before this one, and this postseason they're averaging 2 hours and 9 minutes games also don't tip off on time. since 2018, not a single game has started before its scheduled time. regular season games usually tip about 4 minutes late, and playoff games this year about 8. so the first game of a doubleheader gets about 1 hour and 52 minutes before the next one is scheduled to start spacing them 2 and a half hours apart would have covered 10 of the 12 playoff games so far. this week's semifinal doubleheaders on tuesday and thursday are at 4:30 and 6:30 pt, 2 hours apart again stats via her hoop stats and wehoop, some visuals from @Offside ! #wnbaplayoffs #basketballfan #sportsanalytics

teams that go up 2-0 in a wnba best of 5 series are 19-0 13 of the 19 swept, and only the 2018 storm vs mercury semifinal went to game 5 the dream beat the liberty 101-98 and the valkyries beat the aces 83-81 in game 2, so both are up 2-0 every team that's put the aces down 0-2 in a best of 5 has won the title (2019 mystics, 2020 storm, 2024 liberty) teams that go up 2-0 in the semis have won it all 7 of 10 times, so good news for the dream and the valkyries data from wehoop and her hoop stats, some visuals from @Offside ! #wnbaplayoffs #basketballhistory #basketball #wnba
