The Las Vegas Aces and the Chicago Sky gave us another classic matchup last night. Christy Winters-Scott and Gabe Ibrahim break down what makes both teams so good. They also debate which player they would rather have: Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings or Naphessa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx. The DMV crew also discuss the Washington Mystics' new faces and what the team needs to do to start winning again.

The pandemic season has been crazy for all of us, but imagine what the McCray-Penson family has been through. An outstanding season for Old Dominion cut short by COVID, followed by taking a new job at Mississippi State, moving across several states, dealing with the emotions of the racial injustice in the US, and then advocating for change of the state flag in Mississippi. Coach McCray-Penson has handled all of that...and now she's got a new team to lead.

The Washington Mystics have lost 5 straight games in ugly fashion while the Minnesota Lynx look like contenders (but does anyone have a chance against the Seattle Storm?). Christy Winters-Scott and Gabe Ibrahim discuss all that plus lament the cancellation of fall college sports. Timestamps: The Mystics’ free fall (0:33), Minnesota’s Title chances (19:36), Seattle and Breanna Stewart looking unstoppable (29:53), Who can beat Seattle focused on the Los Angeles Sparks and Las Vegas Aces (41:20), and College Sports cancellations (49:34).

Great teams are normally good in the clutch, and the Chicago Sky have been clutch in the early part of the 2020 season. With great vets and exciting young players, Chicago seems to have a perfect mix to make waves in the Wubble...and for years to come.

One of those young talents is the head coach, James Wade. Learn how he’s feeling about his team’s performance so far this season, and what it’s going to take to keep it going. 

Plus we go back to where it all started in the WNBA for Wade and chat about the man that spoke life into his coaching career.

The Washington Mystics picked up wins against the Connecticut Sun and the Seattle Storm this week. Christy Winters Scott and Gabe Ibrahim break down how DC did it, what they can still improve on, and what the rest of the WNBA can do about it. They start by recapping the Mystics last week including the two wins and subsequent loss to the Chicago Sky. Then, the duo get into how DC’s big 4-Emma Meesseman, Ariel Atkins, Aerial Powers, and Myisha Hines-Allen-have had so much success. Then, they look at the team’s matchup with A’ja Wilson, Angel McCoughtry and the Las Vegas Aces. Finally, they breakdown Washington’s upcoming games against the New York Liberty and the Indiana Fever, Sabrina Ionescu’s injury, and make predictions for DC’s next three games.

After an 0-2 start, the Phoenix Mercury are starting to perform to potential in Bradenton. John chats with head coach Sandy Brondello about the rough start, and what might trigger a turnaround. They also discuss the “Wubble” setup, including Sandy’s husband (Sky assistant Olaf Lange) living in a different place at IMG while their kids split their time with mom and dad.

The WNBA kicked off its season with a fantastic opening weekend and so did the Washington Mystics with a dominant win over the Indiana Fever. Mystics color commentator Christy Winters-Scott and WNBA reporter Gabe Ibrahim discuss the players’ commitment to Breonna Taylor and justice. Then, the duo gets into the Mystics’ dazzling opener, Myisha Hines-Allen’s breakout performance, and Aerial Powers’s big night. They look at the Connecticut Sun and Alyssa Thomas as the Mystics get set for a WNBA Finals rematch. The Courtside crew also talks about the sounds of the game and the wonderful presentation of the Wubble (including Bill Laimbeer and Curt Miller being mic’d up).
