We are live from Tech Futures with NY Liberty point guard Natasha Cloud, diving into all things WNBA on and off the court. Sue and Megan break down what the Las Vegas Aces did right in the first two games of the WNBA Finals, and what the Phoenix Mercury need to do for a W on home court. And we catch up with the developments off the court since Napheesa Collier’s scorched-earth press conference criticizing the league’s leadership.

Natasha Cloud tells us what she wants to get out of the next CBA negotiations, how she’s enjoying living in New York City, and her non-negotiables during free agency. Plus she gets back at Stewie in her bench/start/cut.
