The Las Vegas Aces are not a championship team anymore and we need to accept that

Good morning, folks! Welcome back to the Morning Win. Thanks so much for reading today. We appreciate you giving us a bit of your time. Hope you’re having a good week so far.

I’m saying it right here and now: The WNBA is going to have a new champion this season.

Any hope for a three-peat should’ve faded on Tuesday night when the buzzer sounded and the Aces lost 93-90 against the Wings.

That loss alone isn’t ending their season. Vegas is still a playoff team and — according to the standings — the 5th best team in the W. But, whew boy, it doesn’t feel like that, does it?

Since returning from the Olympic break the Aces are 2-4. Their only two wins have come over the Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks — two teams below .500. Three of those four losses are against the Lynx (twice) and New York Liberty, both championship-contending teams. The eye test tells you that Vegas isn’t anywhere close to the level of its best competition.
