The playoffs are almost here — and the bracket could get WILD. We take your questions on potential upsets, toughest paths to the Finals, and what storylines could define the first round. Can the Valkyries shock the Aces? Could Phoenix send the Liberty home early? And do the Storm have any chance to steady the rollercoaster?

Along the way we hit on game recaps (Liberty–Valkyries, Fever–Mercury, Sparks–Dream), Seattle’s frustrations, which first-year coaches are staying put, how MVP voting really works (and why first-place votes aren’t everything), and Angel Reese’s blunt message to the Chicago Sky.
