Let Her Shoot

The Dream and the Valkyries both stole Game 1, and the WNBA semifinals just got a lot more interesting.

Trysta and Sarah open by addressing last Saturday’s show and the reaction to it. Then they break down how DeWanna Bonner’s halftime message flipped the Liberty-Dream series, with 21 Liberty turnovers turning into 32 Dream points. They dig into Jordan Canada’s postseason three-point surge and Angel Reese’s four-steal, three-block night. Then comes the big one: how the Valkyries held the Aces to 60 points, their lowest of the season, with just two offensive rebounds all game.
Plus, series predictions for both matchups, why the Aces may just be tired, what the Fever fan-base fallout means for Kelsey Mitchell’s future, and a debate over who has the best hair in the league.

The Connecticut Sun are now the Houston Comets, and Trysta and Sarah are raising a glass to a dynasty that just got stolen.

Before the playoffs begin, Trysta and Sarah put a bow on the 2026 WNBA regular season with their most disappointing teams, biggest surprises and breakout rookies. They start with the Sparks and Sky, two teams that fell far short of what Vegas expected. Then they ask how the Mercury turned a Finals appearance into a lost season. On the bright side, they celebrate the Mystics' 28-win season, the culture the Portland Fire built in year one and the Golden State Valkyries' rise to the No. 2 seed.

Plus, the rookies nobody saw coming, including Sidney Taylor, Cody McMahon and the Liberty's Pauline Astier. There's also a heated debate over whether the Toronto Tempo or the Portland Fire is better set up for the future. And will Juju Watkins really end up in Toronto?

IN THIS EPISODE:
💔 A toast to the Connecticut Sun and the "stolen" Houston Comets dynasty
📉 Why the Sparks, Sky and Mercury were the season's biggest disappointments
📈 How the Mystics won 28 games and earned the 5 seed
🔥 Portland Fire's culture, coaching and first-year fight
