    The Case for OLIVIA MILES to Win MVP

    Olivia Miles isn’t just running away with Rookie of the Year—she has a legitimate case to become only the second rookie in WNBA history to win MVP. With Napheesa Collier missing significant time, Miles has helped keep the Minnesota Lynx atop the league while producing one of the most efficient rookie seasons we’ve ever seen. Trysta and Sarah compare her numbers to Candace Parker’s historic rookie MVP campaign and debate whether Miles’ impact can overcome A’ja Wilson’s continued dominance. Then it’s time to fill out the rest of the awards ballot, including Most Improved Player, Coach of the Year and the first-ever Let Her Shoot “Shooty” Award. 🏀: The case for Olivia Miles to win WNBA MVP🏀: Miles’ rookie season compared to Candace Parker🏀: Bridget Carleton vs. Shakira Austin for Most Improved🏀: Why Sydney Johnson deserves Coach of the Year consideration🏀: Kelsey Mitchell’s historic scoring run🏀: The Chicago Sky’s handling of the Enes Kanter Freedom incident If you had an MVP vote today, would it go to Olivia Miles or A’ja Wilson?

    The Liberty Are Back - and The Aces Should Be Terrified

    The New York Liberty may have found their missing piece at exactly the right time. Leonie Fiebich returned after nearly two months away and immediately reminded everyone how different New York looks with her on the floor—scoring 20 points with five rebounds and five assists in a statement win over the Indiana Fever. With the Liberty potentially staring down Las Vegas in the first round—and NaLyssa Smith leaving the Aces’ latest win with an apparent knee injury—that matchup suddenly looks much more dangerous for Las Vegas. Trysta and Sarah also compare monster performances from Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers, break down a fascinating Valkyries–Mystics playoff matchup, evaluate Washington’s terrifying young core, and review Portland’s unforgettable introduction of Rose the Dragon. Later, the conversation turns to the confrontation between Natasha Cloud and Enes Kanter Freedom—and whether the WNBA is doing enough to protect its players from political stunts and bad actors. #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty #LasVegasAces #LeonieFiebich #CaitlinClark #PaigeBueckers #LetHerShoot #minnesotalynx #indianafever CHAPTERS:00:00 The WNBA’s Political Controversy00:45 An $8.50 Church Coffee?!04:05 NaLyssa Smith’s Injury Changes the Playoff Picture05:49 Leonie Fiebich Makes the Liberty Scary Again16:35 The Kelsey Plum Trade and JuJu Watkins19:49 Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers24:36 Valkyries vs. Mystics Playoff Breakdown33:24 Fuchs Financial34:53 Why Washington’s Future Is Terrifying38:55 Portland Introduces Rose the Dragon48:34 Enes Kanter Freedom Confronts Natasha Cloud56:57 How Should the WNBA Handle Bad Actors?1:05:17 France’s World Cup Roster and Closing Thoughts See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dallas, meanwhile, is headed in the opposite direction. Why has Azzi Fudd missed five straight games with knee soreness? Why isn’t Paige Bueckers consistently getting the ball late? And what exactly was Jose Fernandez doing with that disrespectful press-conference response about Awak Kuier? Plus, Diana Taurasi’s No. 3 heads to the rafters, Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne enter the Basketball Hall of Fame, Olivia Miles strengthens her Rookie of the Year case and the Lynx-Aces matchup looks increasingly like a potential WNBA Finals preview.

    Stephanie White Has HAD IT!! The FEVER Are on FIRE in EVERY WAY

    Stephanie White is done absorbing the backlash—and Caitlin Clark made it clear the Indiana Fever locker room is riding with its coach. Trysta and Sarah unpack White’s fiery response after critics questioned how she handled DiJonai Carrington’s flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham, including Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith publicly calling for the Fever to fire her. Did White shut down a manufactured controversy, or make the situation even harder to escape? They also break down Clark’s emotional defense of her coach, the Fever’s dominant win over the New York Liberty and what this entire saga reveals about WNBA fandom, media coverage and the political narratives surrounding the league. Before the Fever discourse takes over, Trysta relives Portland’s unbelievable rally against Minnesota. The Fire trailed by 29, pulled within one and nearly handed the league-leading Lynx a historic collapse—all while keeping the tank alive. Topics include: 🏀 Portland nearly erasing a 29-point deficit 🏀 Olivia Miles and Minnesota surviving the Fire 🏀 Portland’s draft lottery possibilities 🏀 The DiJonai Carrington–Sophie Cunningham fallout 🏀 Stephanie White’s response to calls for her firing 🏀 Caitlin Clark defending her head coach 🏀 Could Kelsey Mitchell leave the Fever for Seattle?
