Yes, we talking about practice. Everyone – except Allen Iverson – needs to get their reps in, but the bubble schedule and the circumstances after the 2020 WNBA Draft have made it difficult to get regular gym time. Some teams are struggling, some players are finding a way to get it done.

Erica breaks it all down with wubble clips from Reshanda Gray (Los Angeles Sparks), head coach Mike Thibault (Washington Mystics), head coach Brian Agler (Dallas Wings), and rookie Te'a Cooper (Los Angeles Sparks).

The WNBA has reached the midway point of the season, which means it's time to pass judgment on the teams. Gabe Ibrahim and Amy Auidbert rank all of 12 teams and get into some arguments along the way. The Seattle Storm are clearly the top team in the league, then the debating starts between the Las Vegas Aces, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury, and Chicago Sky. Crystal Dangerfield gets some Rookie of the Year love as the Monday crew put Minnesota in the group of contenders. They then got into the bottom of the league and make some bold statements about the Dallas Wings after Arike Ogunbowale's big day.
