I have no issues with whatever a person's political orientation is. In fact, I thought they should let people at the Seattle game where their shirts unless they were directly hateful. Free speech is important. I mostly was commenting on that many people of all sides who really are interested in the WNBA have moved on and now are focused on the playoffs, the most important time of the WNBA year. I don't think even Sophie is posting and reposting things that happened a month ago. It is your right to do so but just seems out of touch with the fact that we are in the midst of the playoffs, which have nothing to do with Sophies past comments and only a tiny bit to do with Sophie's basketball given that she is a bench player.

Adam silver is leading the search for a new WNBA commissioner.
His words in article and they just come up did Google AI search
"Emphasize the need for leadership that unifies the league
And engages it's expanding fan base.

I also read Adam silver talked about himself being more involved promoting the league.
He said the new commissioner would be in charge of players relations.
He also something about NBA people working under the authority of the new commissioner.

On a different team, Rae would have been a clear candidate for MIP. Nice exchange between her and Kellie.

Rae's injury her last year here was really the first in a string of unfortunate injuries that ended up dooming Kellie

Kellie Harper said Rae had good summer
Before injury

Rae was having a great year here when she got injured. Was never the same after, really until this year. Was beset with nagging injuries her first few years in the W.

Ironically the other big thing besides being healthy that helped Rae this year was Rickea being traded and how awful Ariel Atkins turned out to be (as predicted). Rae has said knowing she would not be pulled and would have a chance to play through mistakes made all the difference. Imagine what she might do with an actual professional level coach. She's a free agent now, will be so interesting to where she ends up.

What a shot! This is 100 percent Arike Ball, either magical or miserable . Once in a while she'll do this, fueling her to go 4 for 40 in her next three games. Give me just one consistent three point shooter

Building it for what? Surely not MVP? 🫠


I believe she gets MVP in the future as much as you believe Caitlin Clark wins one.

This is about Angel, so once she’s named All-WNBA, All-Defense and DPOY in the same season, which will be this year, that’s close to MVP. This is about being an all around player, if Clark can do that I think she can win MVP as well.

Oh and I’ve never changed me stance, Finals MVP is the award I value the most, same as in college I value Final Four MOP over everything, but it’s good to get recognized for your work.

Great night for Arike, but unfortunately she's the kind of player that will shoot you out of a lot more games than she'll ever shoot you into.

I fell asleep early on, will have to watch the 4th quarter and overtime today.

Why was the HC of the Wings saying that she needed to be more aggressive offensively? When has she been on a team before Paige, Azzi (pre-injury) and Sheppard where there were other options than her taking not only a high volume of shots but a high degree of difficulty?
I've said before. Some fans need to get over whatever butt-hurt Arike, Angel, Miles, Aja whatever applied to your favorite college back in the day..

It was a terrific performance. Period. And Golden State will likely still win because they have the superior team.

Bad shooting nights from field from both Clark and Mitchell and Fever lose to Aces 83- 94

I thought the loose ball foul on Mitchell was total bullsh!t. Clear hook by Chelsea Gray going after the loose ball. Refs reviewed for an F1 upgrade? Really? No upgrade, but then White challenged foul call on Mitchell. Kinda wasted as the play was still stopped and the outcome had already been determined. Wasted a timeout there, imo.

Great season for the Fever. Guess i’m rooting for the Wings and Dream going forward.

Did you miss the WWF flip of Lexie Hull
Officials said challenge too late.
Non call elbow to Caitlin Clark mouth Can not review.

The way officials initiated reviews for the ACes
Going stop there.
Just drop in the bucket crazy officially game
Like I said before only watched about 4 whole regular games Might have watched. Half of 2 to 3 more games..
That way most officials.
Have Called WNBA games I have watch.
Worst bias officially league I have seen....

Don't let the way I see how WNBA affect your enjoyment.
I seen plenty of other people saying same about the officials.
My opinion the way the league is officially.
I not investing more time.

For people who want watch.
WNBA games who doesn't have have TV package.
They was two YouTube channel streaming fever and aces game live.

I seen games pop up before.
When i was watch free YouTube
Mostly how I know regular season games are on.
More times mostly don't watch when I see games appear on free YouTube.
But WNBA games are streaming regular

Actually, the fever took a step back this year. Last year they won the Commissioners Cup and went to the finals. Without CC

I believe one of Boston Mitchell or Clark will not play for the Fever next year.

Of all the bad calls frequently made or missed, this one irks me most. And it happens all the time, not just in this particular instance. Wilson's foot touches Boston's very incidentally and she falls down. Foul on Boston. Every time someone falls down it is not a trip and not a foul.
