๐I like watching the Valkyries play and kind of root for them, and amazed the Wings let Kayla Charles go earlier in the season. That said, their announcers are so biased they want me to root against the Valkyries. And their in-house emcee must be one of the most annoying people in America. #WNBA
Valkyries messes up big time. Email the head of business operations and cc the head of ticket sales and the box office manager - stay strong; if that person has the written proof they were screwed everyone at a higher level should know - and compensation should be satisfactory.

Who is Destiny Sims?
Agreed
True but unusual for these ads outside of the game. I donโt have a good analogy but basically she is irrelevant if she is not playing. I canโt see State Farm new subscribers has been on the rise compared to when she plays.
With Caitlin Clark out for the season and only playing 13 games this season, it seems awfully weird that State Farm continues airing commercials during WNBA games.

Waste of money. Serena is not WNBA quality. She needs to refine her game overseas during the off-season.

Why are you continuing to fight with me? I was trying to be supportive - where's the friggin' joke? Do you derive pleasure from belittling other people? And go ahead and shove a snickers up your ass joker?
Yeah, that was a tough one.
What was the joke here @djkmean.bsky.social? I've seen many people, you included, give her shit about the scheduling - what makes you so privileged that your "joke" should be taken as a joke? Talking about WNBA on Bluesky is normally a safe something for me to do - until stupidity comes along.
You have really no idea if Cathy has anything to do with the scheduling (she does not). Itโs mostly based on the venueโs availability to hold an event plus television (in this case NBATV) when to broadcast the game.
With 2 weeks left in the regular season (so my picks could still change): 1st Team: Bueckers (ROTY), Citron, Iriafen, Salaun, Rivers. 2nd Team: Morrow, Paopao, Malonga, Aloa Makani, Lacan #WNBA
Wings drafted Leite 1st round in 2024 but then did not protect her in the expansion draft. So they wasted a 1st round pick. Either thought she would stay in France or upper management was/is inept in basketball decisions. #WNBA

She was on the Wings but they let her go.
Sometimes itโs the makeup of the team and the playerโs role. Look how Veronica Burton is thriving with the Valkyries.
๐WNBA: Minnesota Lynx defeated the Connecticut Sun 94-70 and clinch the top seed in the #WNBA Playoffs. Alanna Smith & DiJonai Carrington each scored 18 pts to lead the Lynx. Tina Charles & Marina Mabrey each scored 14 pts to lead the Sun.

Sims came through. Never was a big fan but she delivered.
Injuries have decimated this team and challenging to coach through it. And for someone with no prior HC experience, it's awful. That said, you are just down 4 against a far superior team. You cannot sit your two best players when the replacements are ones you just signed this week. #WNBA
๐WNBA: Atlanta Dream defeated the Dallas Wings 100-78. Rhyne Howard led the Dream with 24 pts. Allisha Gray added 19. Maddy Siegrist led the Wings with 23 pts. Paige Bueckers added 16 pts & 10 assists. And Christyn Williams scored her first two #WNBA points.
If Coach Chris Clueless is going to be the Dallas Wings coach next season, they will be in last place again regardless who they draft or sign as free agents. #WNBA
What time should I arrive? Potato salad or coleslaw?
Well, Skylar doesn't take crap from anyone and easily dishes it out. Could be interesting if Seattle ends up as the 8th seed.
๐WNBA Friday: Dallas Wings (9-30) vs. Atlanta Dream (24-14) at 7:30pm ET, Indiana Fever (20-18) vs. Los Angeles Sparks (17-19) at 10pm ET. Both games on ION TV & WNBA League Pass. Will Dallas be able to suit up 8 players or have to forfeit? #WNBA

๐ญ๏ธ I always liked Heidi Gardner on Saturday Night Live; for 8 years she portrayed so many different roles, but certainly the go to it female when they needed someone in any sketch. But Sarah Sherman is a one-dimensional character, not sure what Lorne sees in her and why he keeps her on SNL.
Thatโs rude, mocking the Lynx dance. That will certainly come back and bite them in the ass.

It just came on again. I didnโt know Carmax actually have lots. Like where are they located in the US?

It's okay to be clueless on this site. WNBA doesn't have to try hard to push Paige on us - it's organic, those who appreciate basketball appreciate her play.
