Hot takes, deep dives, and bold predictions — everything you need as the postseason heats up.

-

This week I dive into the WNBA’s end-of-season awards — Rookie of the Year, Most Improved, Coach of the Year, Sixth Player of the Year, and the historic Co-Defensive Player of the Year. I break down the biggest debates, including the narrative around splitting DPOY and what it says about the league.

Then, I shift into playoff mode with a deep analysis of each first-round series: Lynx vs. Valkyries, Dream vs. Fever, Mercury vs. Liberty, and Aces vs. Storm. I share why the Atlanta Dream continue to struggle, what Breanna Stewart’s injury means for the Liberty, and why bigs not showing up consistently is becoming a bigger conversation in the league.

Finally, I give my semifinal predictions for Lynx vs. Mercury and Aces vs. Fever — and what fans should be watching for as the postseason intensity rises.
