WNBA 2025

It maybe counterintuitive but Lexi needs to take a shot. Make them play defense against the whole team.
 
Fought until the bitter end. Aces just made a few more plays in OT, really good shotmaking down the stretch from them.

Steph White deserves a ton of credit for taking on so many different players throughout the year and getting the absolute most out of them. I’d be willing to bet no one ran anywhere near as many unique lineups as Indiana had to this season.
 
In fairness the Aces are deserving, they were deadly with the three pointers throughout the entire game. It is amazing that Indiana was able to force them into overtime.

Engelbert out.

Even if the sources' statements are indeed "categorically false" this time, I think Cathy Engelbert's days as W commissioner are numbered.

There's been a steady chorus of players and coaches repeatedly putting the league on blast all season long. Now, one of the top players, who never goes there, ever, has directly put Cathy herself on blast, and folks around the league are coming out in droves in support of her comments. There's no coming back from this one IMO.

If Cathy stays as commish for the CBA negotiations, I fully expect a lockout next season. From what Lexie was saying yesterday in what I assume was a practice interview, they're not even close to a deal yet, and there are no signs that that's going to change anytime soon. The front office and the players are just so far apart.
 
I checked the Vegas/Indiana Game 5 score this morning. I wasn't surprised to see that Vegas won, but I smiled when I saw that Indiana took them to OT. Of course they did.

They could have tapped out a few months ago, but that's not what Coach White's teams do. It didn't matter who was on the floor. They fought to the bitter end and just missed out on making the Finals. Even as someone who isn't a diehard Indy fan like the rest of you, I appreciate the grit and hustle they showed this season.

I'll continue checking out the scores for the Finals. I have nothing whatsoever against Vegas, but I hope against hope that AT gets her first ring and that more players don't get seriously hurt.

And now we here from the other side. There are always 2 sides to a story of this magnitude:

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert Praises Fever Amid Caitlin Clark Comment Denial​

I don’t think Napheesa Collier would make that up.

Yeah, I don't either. Obviously, I wasn't in the room for the conversation, but like I alluded to earlier, that's not how Phee operates. She's the polar opposite of a rabble-rouser.

I watched the first 10 minutes or so of Cathy Engelbert's press conference. Aforementioned CC comment denial aside, I didn't hear her deny that she said the players should be on their knees thanking her for getting the media rights deal done. She just offered up a weak "there's a lot of inaccuracy out there, and emotions are high." That doesn't work for me, brother.
