#WNBA, #Fever, and #UofSC Gamecocks fan. We live on an island of blue that we created in a deep red part of Indiana. My grand-kitten, shown here, is Shane. He/him.

One thing I love about the #WNBA is that I enjoy watching everyone perform.

I'm working on a personal Top Ten list, but it's too long for the format here.

Given the shit show we're seeing at 1600 PA Ave, I can understand the anger. I just wish it didn't spill over into this beautiful space.

You were absolutely right! She has been a fabulous compliment to Wilson.

I was with the masses when she got traded to LV - how stupid could the Aces GM be to trade a draft pick for this "locker-room problem"?

Crow is a terrible meat to eat - it tastes nothing like chicken. 😁

I've really enjoyed watching and experiencing the #WNBA. Too bad we won't get any more games in my lifetime.

Aw, come on. Stop this #WNBA post game nonsense and get to the College Football Forum, ESPN!

Kidding.

Cathy's wearing green, the color of the money they're not paying players

Cathy's comments were appropriately short. No one could have taken any more words from her.

Maybe we'll never have to hear from her again.

Is Cathy going to wear a Las Vegas dress to present the trophy?

Ok. This #WNBA season is over.

So it's time to say ... Go Gamecocks! Beat UConn!

That's what everyone thought would happen.

Damn, imagine if it was PHX vs Fever. That would have been ....

The series the Aces won in the semis was way more competitive and, frankly, more interesting than this Finals series. Kudos to the Fever for kicking the Aces in the pants and motivating them to demolish the Mercury.

Another "good grief" for the refs. I'm no Bonner fan, but you gotta let that go!

I was a college intramural bball ref once, which required a couple of hours of training. The real ref teaching the training said: know when to ignore bad behavior on the court. He said to stand your ground, but hold back on giving a tech - let the players decide the game.

This #WNBA ref f'ed up.

Good grief. These refs are terrible. Don't eject the coach for that.

The Mercury may yet pull this out. But not if A'ja (or Loyd, or Gray, or Young) starts hitting her shots.

The challenge rules are stupid and need to be adjusted.

But with the rules the way they are, the coaches are REALLY stupid to make a challenge in the first half!

Save your challenge(s) for the end of the game, damnit, when they might actually influence the outcome.

2025 Finals Point Gawdd looks EXACTLY like 2016 Finals Chelsea Gray.

Weird, eh?

Dear Elle Duncan,

The countdown thing you do is kinda stupid.

Sincerely,

Yesterday, in their "Post Moves" podcast, Candace eviscerated Cathy, pointing out that she NEVER tried to develop a personal connection with her. At the same time, NBA Comish Adam Silver was constantly in touch with her: Xmas cards, new babies, retirement.

These #WNBA pre-game hosts, and their producers, are COOKING!

The side-by-side video comparisons to all the greats, including Michael Jordan, were incredible!

It's going to be a great season for the cream of the NCAA.

I'm a die-hard Gamecocks fan (from birth), and I see that Dawn's team is pissed at how UConn dominated them (twice) last year.

I hope UofSC and UConn get a rematch!
