Pelton previews the Finals. After running plus-minus numbers, he says that Whalen is worth about 8 points of offense to the Sun. He picks Sacto in 4.

At the Finals Blog, Matt Wurst says Lindsay could be ready for Game 2. (Dear Matt: please add permalinks. That's required for a blog.)

Doris Burke says it will go five games; she leans toward the Monarchs.

Lieberman and Voepel both say that Whalen's loss is huge, and that the Sun will fall short again.
