Wow this Fever/Wings game is starting off fun; we've got 10 players who fuckin' love sprinting on the court

Clark-2-Mitchell-2-Smith was insanely sick

Feels like Boston has been struggling badly for the past few games after being terrific immediately following the Olympic break.

edit: Fever are now 6-1 since the Olympic break, and they're above .500 for the first time since 2016.

second edit: Here's the cool Clark/Mitchell/Smith double-pass play I was talking about from the start of the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1f6nszs/are_you_kidding_me/

Also, apparently Swoopes actually was removed as an analyst from today's game:

I had the same exact thought earlier this season but didn’t want to say it because it seems insulting even though I don't mean it that way. it's cool that someone who runs/jogs like that is a star athlete

It’s extremely funny that a team with almost twice as many losses as wins is even in the running, small leagues are weird

honestly so happy for her, that first month of the season where no one was gelling feels like so long ago and now it feels like a real team that could be the start of something special. They’re not gonna be winning a ring in year 1 but at 1-8 I think there were a lot of people ready to blow up everything that wasn’t Caitlyn and Aliyah and now Sides is coaching better and Kelsey has unlocked a new level of scoring and role players like Lexi and Temi and Dontas are finally clicking and the end result is incredibly fun to watch basketball.

My first Fever game was the home opener where we lost to the Liberty by 36 points.

My second Fever game was a lot more fun:

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I am watching the WNBA for the first time in maybe 20 years, and one thing I will say is that all the teams have much better names than their NBA counterparts. Pelicans = stupid bird, intimidating to nobody except sardines. Abstract concepts like Liberty and Dreams, now we're talking.

I don't care for the abstract/singular noun/adjective team names, if only because it's so hard to talk about members of the team. But it's not just the WNBA, newer teams across the major sports are doing that.
