While everyone is talking about the Knicks, now is a good time to remind everyone that behind the vibes and the celebrities is a wannabe fascist and each mention of the team should be accompanied by a call for consequences

Chicagoans were generally rooting for her when she left for the Liberty, but damn if she hasn’t tanked her legacy with these final years. It’s almost like Kobe at the end when he was just awful and constantly throwing his teammates under the bus.
I’ve never coached basketball. Why do coaches do that squat thing? Do they see better from the down near the floor?
Maybe @stevejones20.bsky.social knows

so glad the aces have been posting vids regularly here … they look like they’re having the best time
i think a’ja is the first multi time mvp in any sport that’s just universally liked … usually they get under the skin of at least a few of their teammates

as a professor, I know on the men’s side that the students aren’t really students—they don’t show up to class and get exemptions for almost everything
not sure if it’s the same on the women’s side, where the players stay in school longer and generally graduate
my reaction exactly … so this is just a league? these aren’t really students at all anymore, are they?
How many games do people here think the fire will win in their inaugural season? I’m feeling seven, looking at the roster, but I imagine they’ll catch a few teams sleeping because of their record and surpass that low number.

oh no! where will people park to see the 28th consecutive year featuring Kim Mitchell, the Canadian dude from triumph, whatever member of the guess who is still alive, and whatever member of the barenaked ladies that isn’t snorting his paycheques from 1999 😑🙃
It’s next to impossible to win in the w without a #1 overall pick talent and they haven’t gotten that yet. They’re hoping to miss the playoffs and for some lottery luck. It’s just a part of the cycle of teams
Yeah. It feels like Seattle is the only play left on the board.
Ok now kiss!
Shoot that Jewell!

normally I think the ‘put an asterisk on a championship’ narrative is uncalled for, but do we really count these two games as a third euro league championship for breanna stewart?
#wnba
Hmm. This is some important context for the Chennedy Carter signing. Makes more sense now. Probably keep Chen in the rotation until late in the season and her minutes will go to Dana in the playoffs.
those fans … smh … every time I see these feel good vids of Sanders pulling out record audiences in Trump’s West Virginia base, I’m reminded that the worst of the worst are still out there

Ya. Thats my guess too. I don’t think she wants to be in a rebuilding team and the Mercury did her really dirty and she probably isn’t up for a reunion. I’m guessing Tash plays for a European team this year and comes back for unrivaled
It 100% has to do with inflation and unemployment. There are just as many popular players in this era as any other.
Thinking it through. I could see the Liberty offering her 600k and her wanting to negotiate up to 850k or add performance bonuses/years/trade kickers, and then after they got Satou even the 600k wasn’t there anymore.
Tash just makes basketball look so fun that satou keeps saying, nah I wanna be on that team
Also wondering if the Lynx drafting Olivia Miles took away a possible destination
satou being interested in the liberty and willing to take 11% of the cap probably was unexpected and took away her contingency plan of a return on a cheaper salary
Trying to think of non-conspiratorial reasons for natasha cloud’s situation. She fired her agent, so I’m guessing she got bad advice—like she was told to hold out for the contract and team situation she wanted and too many teams broke off talks with her and went to their other plans.
#wnba
the sparks have very clearly said plum, nneka, and hamby is all the scoring we need, let’s get defenders at every other position
#wnba
That 84 piece is gonna drive up the average quite a bit
For real.
Come on Dana. You know she’s been dreaming of being a Sky—just like every other player in the w
meh-cury is right! Did they forget to have an offseason?
All for Kenny leaving Schroder and Tyson out there to see if they can break their slumps, but I don’t want to see power forward Keon Ellis ever again.
No questions about those two fouls in Barnes, but it’s gotta be frustrating. He already had Wade beat and then reached back and hit him.
