Dallas Wings reporter @grantafseth.bsky.social has reported that fans of the Wings (particularly new fans) are now threatening to "cut your family's heads off".) This is beyond disgusting and I've called it out on many occasions.
Congratulations to the Seattle Storm on ending their long losing streak! They had lost 11 straight games, the longest this season. #wnba
Official: Rori Harmon returns to the Mystics on a developmental contract.
Here's what we lose when WNBA fans invested since the 90's get priced out.... my romp through New York Liberty history with the realest fans I know. Also, something for Valkyries folks to learn from :)

Good morning! This week, I will live game post the Dallas Wings versus the Indiana Fever on Friday at 7:30 pm EST. It should be a fun game to look forward to and my fellow Bluesky followers can follow along! ☺️ #wnba
43 points by McBride today also marks the most ever by a Lynx in regulation in a regular season game
Final: Lynx 103, Wings 90 Kayla McBride. That's it. That's the story.
Big congratulations 🎊 to Kayla McBride for reaching 6000 career points! I remember when she entered the league. She was always a confident scorer/shooter. (I was a SA Silver Stars fan from 2008-2016). Becky, K-Mac and Sophia Young. Memories. ☺️
It's Aug. 9, and the Mystics are... -T-5th in the WNBA standings -6.0 games back from 1st place (Minnesota) -0.5 games back from hosting in the first round (Indiana) -6.5 games ahead of the first team(s) out of the playoffs (Portland/ LA) Their magic number to clinch is 8 with 13 games left.
The New York Liberty are the fifth team to reach 20 wins this season (Lynx, Valkyries, Fever, Aces) are the others. They will win the season series 2-1 over the Aces and are in a battle now for 5th to 7th in WNBA standings. The Aces are still 3rd despite the loss. They are 22-11 now. #wnba
The Aces top 3 players (A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young & Chelsea Gray) are being held out of this afternoon's back to back game against the Liberty for rest. This sucks. I was looking forward to a really good game. Boo. #wnba
FINAL: The Portland Fire defeat the Seattle Storm 100-93. Seattle has now lost their 11th game in a row for a second time this season. Jade Melbourne scored a career-high 23 points & 5 assists. Dom Malonga 21p & 9r. Jordan Horston scored a season-high 17 pts. BC 24p for PDX. #WNBA
Over on Threads, I don't like DiJonai Carrington's response. I responded why in her responses and people just don't get it. You don't log on to social media after the game ends, tag the opposing team and call bias. That's being unprofessional. Kids look up to WNBA players.
That's pretty neat to see the Minnesota Lynx clinch a WNBA Playoff spot with 11 games left to play and this early. Congratulations Lynx fans!! Enjoy! #wnba
Final: Lynx 98, Aces 87 Lynx exorcise the demons of Thursday night w/ a big Saturday afternoon win. Lynx statistically clinch a playoff spot and have now gotten at least one win against every team in the league.
Miles drives to the cup one-on-one with Wilson and gets it to go to put the Lynx up 96-87 w/ 47.7 to go. She's got 26. Hammon calls time.
The Gold Mamba moves up to No. 15 on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list! 🐍👏
End of 1: Lynx 28, Aces 25 Miles banks in a heave at the buzzer to give the Lynx the edge after 1. K-Mac on fire from 3 and has hit 4 for a game-high 12 points. Lynx are 6-of-10 from 3, but just 4-of-12 on 2s Smith leads the Aces w/ 6, who are shooting +60% from the field on 11-of-18 collectively

Also, given it was announced it as a multi-year deal: Marine Fauthoux signed with NY for $72,439/$288,600. Rest-of-season contract for this year at the minimum, and unprotected 2nd season at her then-applicable minimum. Couple of other dev players signed the same kind of deal when upgraded. #WNBA

Of late, much of the focus for Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury has been on what’s now and what’s next.

Teams who have the cap space to make a waiver claim on Betnijah Laney-Hamilton: Portland Fire Washington Mystics Connecticut Sun Los Angeles Sparks Seattle Storm Toronto Tempo
For my fellow Canadians, today's Toronto Tempo game is against the Portland Fire. It is on TSN4 and they face off against fellow Canadian Bridget Carleton. She is probable to play and is a very good Canadian WNBA player. Tune in to watch her play and to see another expansion team. It's at 10 pm EST.
