    Can Atlanta Answer Golden State? WNBA Finals Adjustments, All-WNBA Selections (Paige Over Caitlin?) & Offseason Predictions

    First, we break down the Golden State Valkyries–Atlanta Dream Finals matchup: Natalie Nakase’s adjustments, Kiah Stokes’ defensive impact, Angel Reese’s opportunities, and what Atlanta needs to change to extend the series. Then we discuss the All-WNBA First and Second Teams, including Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, Angel Reese, and the standards voters should apply. Should Paige Bueckers have made All-WNBA First Team over Caitlin Clark? And what should matter most in those selections: scoring, playmaking, efficiency, defense, or a player’s importance to her team? Finally, we look ahead to Unrivaled, Project B, WNBA free agency, JuJu Watkins’ draft decision, the Houston Comets, the commissioner search, and the Indiana Fever’s next chapter. On this episode of BLS Beyond the W, Monet welcomes Lauren Rosenberg, Myah Taylor, and the creator behind Dope Content and Dope Sports Network for a candid conversation about the 2026 WNBA Finals, All-WNBA selections, and the stories that could dominate the offseason. Plus: Heroes & Villains, Azzi Fudd’s brand-building, the Game 6 scheduling controversy, and why criticism of women’s sports institutions should be informed, factual, and specific. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 00:00 - Paige over Caitlin?

    The Dallas Wings enter a pivotal offseason with talent, questions, and very little room for error.

In this episode of BLS Beyond the W, host Jazz Monet is joined by Mason Garcia of The Podium Finish, Drake Keeler of The IX Sports, and Melissa Triebwasser of The IX Sports for a deep dive into the Wings’ roster construction, player development, coaching instability, defensive identity, salary-cap constraints, and the future of the franchise.

    Arike Ogunbowale drops 45, Alysha Clark and Aziaha James step up, and the Dallas Wings force Game 3 vs. the Golden State Valkyries | WNBA Playoffs 2026

    Arike Ogunbowale scored a WNBA playoff-record 45 points as the Dallas Wings defeated the Golden State Valkyries 108–100 in overtime to force a winner-take-all Game 3. In this postgame reaction, I break down Arike’s aggressive response after Game 1, including why she said seven shots were not enough in the playoffs; her game-tying three with 4.1 seconds left; and how 16 free throws reflected her willingness to attack the basket. I also discuss the contributions of Alysha Clark and Aziaha James, Paige Bueckers’ impact beyond her shooting numbers, the Wings’ defensive intensity, Jose Fernandez's reaction, and what Dallas must replicate or improve on the road in San Francisco. Can the Wings bring the same physicality, urgency, communication, and team defense to Golden State for Game 3? Let me know your biggest key to the deciding game in the comments. #DallasWings #ArikeOgunbowale #WNBAPlayoffs #GoldenStateValkyries #PaigeBueckers #WNBA #WingsUp #WNBABasketball -------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT THE CONTENT: ☕ Buy Me a Coffee 🏷️ New Merch Available 📰 Read on Substack 🎥Watch on YouTube -------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - Arike Ogunbowale’s 45-point playoff record 01:31 - Why Arike’s Game 2 breakout was building all season 04:11 - How Golden State’s Paige Bueckers plan created an opening 07:36 - Did the Valkyries or Wings change more in Game 2? 09:29 - Inside the intensity of Wings–Valkyries Game 2 14:15 - The overtime thriller: Arike’s clutch three and 11 OT points 17:11 - Alysha Clark and Aziaha James step up 21:57 - Why Arike’s role matters beyond scoring 28:31 - Did Dallas finally survive the bad-quarter problem? 36:39 - Postgame Pressers: Arike Ogunbowale, Alysha Clark and Jose Fernandez 01:18:46 - Game 3 keys: Can the Wings win in San Francisco?

    What Dak Prescott Controls vs. What the Cowboys Must Fix Around Him in Brian Schottenheimer’s Offense

    Dak Prescott says protecting the football is vital, and Brian Schottenheimer is committed to a volume offense in 2026. So what should success actually look like for the "Greatest Offense There Is" this season? In this episode of Bitches Love Sports, I break down how I’m evaluating Dak Prescott this season: completion percentage, red-zone execution, consistency, turnover-worthy plays, tight-window throws, pass protection, and the difference between being aggressive and being reckless. I also react to Brian Schottenheimer describing Dallas as a “volume offense.” Does a volume offense mean conservative football? Can Dak’s post-snap processing, protection, offensive disguise, and the Cowboys’ receiving options create more explosive plays without turning every throw into hero ball? The Dak Prescott conversation is not “everything is his fault” versus “nothing is his fault.” It is about what Dak controls and what the Cowboys have to build around him. Drop your take in the comments: What worries you most about the Cowboys offense: Dak’s decision-making, his numbers, or whether a volume offense can generate enough explosive plays? #DallasCowboys #DakPrescott #CowboysNation #NFL #BrianSchottenheimer #TheBLSPodcast -------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT THE CONTENT: Buy Me a Coffee New Merch Available Read on Substack Watch on YouTube -------------------------------------------------------------------- TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Dak Prescott: “Protecting the ball is vital” 01:01 - How I’m grading Dak Prescott in 2026 03:10 - What Dak controls vs. what the Cowboys must fix 06:32 - Shout-outs: Team USA, Dallas Wings and U.S. Open 14:35 - Dak Prescott’s completion percentage and consistency 17:24 - Cowboys red-zone struggles and Dak’s role 20:09 - Turnover-worthy plays: aggressive vs. reckless 24:00 - Can a volume offense still create explosive plays? 31:50 - Finding offensive identity as a volume offense 46:35 - Chat: Dak’s 2026 rubric + hero ball, Flournoy and Cowboys weapons
