WNBA 2026 Season Thread
I live in a multi-unit complex. I share a wall in my living room with the living room of my next-door neighbor.

Seattle at a big dog price looked nice for a moment there
If you want to bet on any of it, let me know. Im not reading that
Wilson once again loves giving it to Nakase/Stokes. Loves giving it on national television. GOAT
Why do i feel Caitlin Clarke will put on a masterpiece today? Don't know if that correlate's to a win. But i have a feeling Caitlin will put on a show today. I'm supersticious and i probably jinxed her. But i can't see how she doesn't crush it today. For all the Caitlin haters your welcome. I put on the jinx. But Caitlin won't be denied imo. Dare i say a triple double? 10 rebounds is hard for the point guard so probably won't happen. My guess 29 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists.
Fever 97 Liberty 87 final score. Lets see if i'm Nostradamus. What a Dummy i am to jinx her. But i think she's above my moronedness. I just made up a new word moronedness.
Please bail me out Caitlin i'm going out on a limb here. They gonna crush me if you have a bad game.
I only said 29 to try and predict perfectly. But really i think it's 33 points today. The 3's will fall today,, i think, maybe not. I'm just hopeful, especially when it comes to posible goats. Actually with 10 minute quaters and an unselfish playr i'll go back to 27 points.
Teaira McCowan being around is something I like for them. I dont want to be negative on the Lynx, I just dont know that they’re stacking up favorably against the best teams in the end.
Miles probably hits a wall at some point
Reeve is the goat #1 MIN with #1 offense and #1 defense through ten games
Crazy take, MN is well clear of NY, Indy right now. NY is old and won't be healthy.
They cooked Atl. Were up big in the opener before blowing a big lead, the only real rough point this year.
LV is a real threat, but they've been far shakier
And Phee is literally the 2nd best player on the planet, also Dorka is a solid player joining soon
Miles won't be stopped easily, she's going to get better.
I usually love Jackie Young
But that was cold-blooded
WNBA's Jrue
Name your price or hop on a kangaroo and **** it
Speaking of kangaroos, Chris DeMarco needs to FREE BEC ALLEN

They looked extemely shaky to start today against one of the worst teams in the league. Maybe Seattle was lucky as they were hitting 3's like they thought they were Steph Curry. At the half their great coach(hopefully, don't want to jinx you) readied the ship and blew them out in the 2nd half.
Miles a little shaky early. Also she makes some passes like she wants to make sportscenter highlights. Meaning a little too much mustard on her passes. Or she's trying to impersonate Caitlin. Some are nice for sure. I just worry she needs to be more meat and potatoes on her passes as opposed to trying to impersonate Caitlin or Magic where it comes/came naturally to them. But i still like her game. Just asking her to keep it simple for now until you're there. But she did have some nice passes for sure. You don't see passes like that in the wnba except for Caitlin.
But she does still seem like a rookie in some ways as opposed to meat and potatoes players like Ionescu and Caitlin.
So what i noticed in the first half. Caitlin's always on the left and of course guarded, But the person/Fever player doesn't wait for Caitlin to break free, or just make it the goal to gt her the ball. But no they instantly go right ignoring Caitlin. Stay left and give the ball to Caitlin she will figure out who should get the ball.
If the coach is as good as everyone says she is why doesn't she explain to her team that it's an imperative Caitlin gets the ball? Then Caitlin can decide the best option for a score.
The Noticer
I fell asleep for the 2nd half. But i think i saw Caitlin hit 2 3's and make 2 free throws. That's 8 points. I mighta seen her score a layup also so that's 10 points. She finsihed with 10 points?????????? I get getting your teammates involved but you didn't score 1 point in the 2nd half? She might thave had 8 points 1st half, but either that is not acceptable from an mvp candidate. Either way if this continues this is my bad, she's no goat. Even though she had 9 assists and 7 rebounds. But 10 points and none or little in the 2nd half is a no go for mvp caliber players. Sad. Miiss you Caitlin, remember when you clowned teams scoring 40 a game? Still root for you but you're losing your magic and becoming an ordinary player. I'm bummed. I thought she was "the one". Still a nice career if this is it but what it could have been if she was handed the keys. Still my favorite player Caitlin! I'll always root for you no matter what!
Don't do it DarkCheck we still love you!
I'm good. But it's sad times. I thought i knew who the goat's were in Wemby and Caitlin. Now i realize they ain't Jordan. Love you too. I shoulda realized nobody is Jordan.
Coach White's pasta salad must be real good for Caitlin to allow herself to fall into a role player role. Booker says his sister's pasta salad is the real deal.
I thought Caitlin had the Mamba mentality but maybe not. Where's the fight!!!!!! Zero points in the 2nd half?
New York is old is something i heard a ****** say today. I sure wish they were young like clark and boston
****in dipshit.
If I’m Indiana, I want Harris in the mix when it matters. Specifically over the rookie but it’s whatever if you want to give Johnson a look to start the year. Harris’s body might be broken, idk. If she’s able to play in the playoffs, that’s a good body to have

Held Seattle to 35% shooting, forced 22 turnovers and won by 20, no team in the history of basketball crushes every quarter/half, MN had a bad 1st quarter won the other 3 by 30.
Clark took half a season to get going, is far more careless with her passing too. Miles averaging 2.9 TO Clark over 5.
She's proving impossible to gameplan against because she can make crazy passes 1 handed off the dribble, while having the jets to fly past you if you hesitate, and if you disrespect her going under screens she can hit 3s.
Golden State and Atlanta both have the wing defenders to try and stop her and both did much better vs Clark than Miles. She's a problem and it's not going to be easier when Phee is back.

A few things.
First, she had a layup, a three, five assists and a couple boards in the second half.
Second, it was mentioned before the game that she's still not feeling well. Threw up during the prior game.
Third, most of the second half was a ref show. Put on full display the abysmal state of officiating in the WNBA. CAITLIN CLARKE picked up three chintzy fouls in about a minute of game action. After the refs let both teams play rugby for most of the game. Once she picked up her fifth with more than six minutes left she was cooked.
Fourth, The Libs deployed a very effective defense to get the ball out of CAITLIN CLARKE'S hands. They'd send Stewart and a second defender, frequently Astier, at her up top and make her give the ball up instead of creating.
Fifth, given the Lib defense and who knows for what other reasons Kelsey Mitchell decided she needed to take over. Which could have worked, but frankly she played like ass and her shot was way off.
Sixth, the Fever were unbelievably bad at finishing, even by WNBA standards. If they finish at a league average rate they win comfortably and maybe we're not scrutinizing things.
CAITLIN CLARKE was definitely less herself in the 4th quarter. Not hunting threes (only 6 attempts for the game), and the ball wasn't in her hands much. Call it no mamba mentality, blame it on Steph, whatever. It was a terrible fourth quarter, a bad loss and the whole team needs to own that.
isn't the mamba mentality raping teenagers?
Boston and Clark a combined 10/29 from the field. New York is a joke. Sabally is an all world player and she’s coming off their bench now.
It’s actually very stupid that they were able to stack talent like this. Tell me more about the Lynx lol

If I quit watching the WNBA there is about a 90% chance it will be because of disgust with the officiating.
Decided to watch the 2nd half of Fire-Sparks and there have already been three or four truly egregious calls. I don't care in the slightest who wins this game and I'm pissed off. You have all these talented players, let them and MAKE THEM play basketball.

You are going on names not results. Stewie is having the worst year of her career and her 3pt shot has been broken for a while. Sabally/JJ have weak shooting so far, they are middle-ish on offense
Sab has been out, idk there's a world they get healthy and do start stomping. I'm just more confident that Phee will be back at elite form than the Liberty having all 4 stars healthy at the same time.
Miles might already be the best guard in the league. I can tell you haven't been watching their games.
