WNBA 2025

Okay, I'm finally starting to see what you guys have seen in DiJonai Carrington all along. There's a clear pattern that has become much more apparent to me this season. Too many hard hits on players going up to the basket, too many reckless closeouts, etc. It's not cool.

This is an old clip from the beginning of June, but what is this? Come on, man.



I see DiJonai as the WNBA's Bruce Bowen. She's a great defensive player with a really unfortunate habit of doing dirty stuff. Even if it's all unintentional as she often claims, the girl is just outta control. She's gotta chill.
 
Sophie Cunningham had some big moments that killed any momentum Dallas had going in the final minutes.

Aliyah Boston has been a beast these past few games. Even in losses, it’s nice that there’s always someone who comes up with a big game.

It’s nice they held on in the fourth quarter but Dallas isn’t that good.

Caitlin needs to get healthy and get her groove back. Stephanie White needs to get her head cleared.

I really like Aari McDonald. She reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew, aka Pocket Hercules.

Kelsey and Howard, enough said. We knew they’d both be great and they have been.
 
I haven't watched a Phoenix game yet this year but have been quietly keeping my eye on them via stat sheets. They're 12-4 after beating NY yesterday. AT just missed a triple-double with 17 points, 9 boards, and 15 assists. I'm definitely gonna have to check that game out.

Huge win for Indiana but they got to figure this out.

Paige Bueckers is the future of the WNBA. SHE will be the greatest of all time.

Thanks for your commentary on the game @HoneyBadger.
I was ready to watch on ION and they switched games on me
in my area in favor of our local team the Dream. I had Fever
withdrawals for 2 1/2 hours. Glad the Fever got the dub.
 
Caught up on the recording this afternoon. It’s actually nuts how good Bueckers is this early into her rookie season. Just a phenomenal two-way talent.

How about a few words for Kelsey Mitchell. :D

yeah, Bueckers does look like she will be a great one.

Mitchell has finally come alive these last few games and reasserted herself as the best pure scorer in the league. She can score from all three levels. For the time being, Indiana’s success will be dictated by how consistently she can play.

I think they deserve some grace in that they’re still very shorthanded (Dantas is also playing internationally now), just had a long road trip, and had to play a back-to-back the past two nights. They came out with a very strong defensive intensity last night but that wasn’t really sustainable with all that in mind.

Paige is having a better rookie season than Clark was at this point last year. Obviously she and Indiana didn’t really get into a groove until the second half last year, but it’s scary to think of just how good Paige can be.

It’s so hard to take this league seriously when you have players and coaches taking time off for personal reasons, leaving to play internationally and what not.

I’d understand more if the season was nine months like the NBA or other sports.

Paige Bueckers & Caitlin Clark Ignored As Broadcaster Dubs Indiana Fever Star As the ‘Best Offensive Player’ in the League​

There's some serious talent on this team. They've just got to be able to play basketball without drama.
 
That Phoenix/New York game was crazy. New York was missing a couple of key players - Jonquel Jones will be out for the next several weeks with an ankle injury, and Leonie Fiebich is playing for Germany in Eurobasket.

It's crazy to see how nasty Phoenix has gotten in such short time this season. They're really good on both ends of the floor, almost like Minnesota. It's AT, Satou Sabally, Kah Copper, and a crew of snipers like Sami Whitcomb, who set a WNBA record in that game with 15 made threes over two games.

As a team, they broke a couple of franchise records that night - most threes made in a game (18) and most assists in a game (30). AT's 15 assists, which she had for the second time this season, tied the franchise record for assists by a individual player. They also broke the WNBA record for most threes over two consecutive games (35).

I could watch AT play all day. The woman is a complete anomaly. I've never seen a basketball player like her before, a pure playmaker in a power forward's body who also does the traditional power forward things. She's leading the league in assists per game, she's a triple-double threat every time she steps on the court, and she does it all with two torn labrums. That's just insane. She's phenomenal.
 
Angel Reese had another MONSTER game in Chicago today.

She's improved a metric ton this year and has catapulted into the discussion of top-10 players.
