Wrote about the Dream and Valkyries looking to lock up spots in the semifinals alongside the Libs, and also to avoid joining the Aces in having to go home for a Game 3 the-post-presence.beehiiv.com/p/wnba-round...

Please no one tell the Liberty this, but I got curious how Vegas was reacting to their win and uhh, there’s a new (but also old) favorite to win the WNBA title

WNBA championship odds from BetRivers (the gambling app I keep on my phone so I can look at things like this for context) entering the games of September 30, reflecting the seven teams left in the hunt following the Minnesota Lynx being eliminated.

Odds:

New York Liberty +250
Las Vegas Aces +300
Atlanta Dream +350
Golden State Valkyries +350
Indiana Fever +900
Washington Mystics +10000
Dallas Wings +15000

I would like to personally wish the Mystics the best of luck ahead of what will hopefully be an extremely physical, hard-fought game 2 win, and then I hope everyone has fun in game 3. Just two games of good old playoff basketball. Maybe a couple or five overtimes mixed in.

Yes Lachina, it *has* happened several times in Indiana. Always in Indiana. Last year it was Allisha Gray. Saniya Rivers also asked to have a fan ejected. Dijonai Carrington. Anything that happens once might be a fluke. Anything that happened four times is a pattern. #wnba

Not just the first No. 8 seed, which has only been a thing for the last 10 years. The first time ever that the last team into the playoffs sent the best regular-season team home.

One more nugget: Breanna Stewart is now 16-5 in head-to-head meetings with Napheesa Collier in the WNBA, including 8-2 in the playoffs

2025 and 2026 are now also the first consecutive seasons in WNBA history in which the team with the best record did not play for the title either time (whether or not it was the same team both times)

First team to win 30 games in 3 straight seasons got a Finals loss, a semifinal loss and a historic first round loss out of it. Regular season merchants if you ask me!!

This was a straight up ass whooping for two games in a row and anyone who tells you different is either a liar or doesn’t know what they’re watching

Lynx are down 12 and potentially 10 minutes from joining the 2004 LA Sparks as trivia answers and becoming the first top seed ever bounced in the first round by the last team into the playoffs

Feels very much like the next five minutes are going to decide this game and thus probably the series too

Now we get to see if the Lynx are really all that

Liberty are getting a little sped up again and I hope that’s what DeMarco is telling them, but they’re sure as hell bringing the hustle

Greetings from Barclays Center, where the Libs will look to become the second team in WNBA history to send the team with the best regular season home before the semifinals

Felt weird walking into Barclays without having to surrender my phone after the Phoebe shows ngl

Excuse me, Grady, the Aces did not win the title two years ago, when I am fairly certain you still worked for the team that did win it two seasons ago!

So true, Apple Music, nothing says fall like mourning the death of a parent

Apple’s “pumpkin spice vibes” music collection starts with the Phoebe Bridgers album Lost Weekend, followed by a curated playlist called Morning Coffee

The AP poll blocked me 12 years ago on Twitter for correctly calling it irrelevant in the era of CFP rankings but I still care a lot more about what the AP poll says than that dweeb

The W is seriously trying to kill me with this 8:30 start time. I’m not gonna pretend the lateness bothers my non-existent sleep schedule but I’m ready to head to Barclays already

Shut up about the shadows. They lost to a team that has been beating their ass all season because it is just a better team.

It’s like watching a slow motion car wreck except maybe the car is gonna be just fine after all but probably not but dear god can we please fast forward either way I’m dying

I think if I was going all in on defense for the rest of the game, which seemed to be the idea of the Phillies changes last inning, I would’ve sent Bohm to the bench till tomorrow and left Stott at 3B. But so far so good.

Well okay then this is just escalated pretty fucking quickly

The Steelers went to two Super Bowls in Mike Tomlin’s first five seasons, then he developed a crippling Minecraft addiction and they went 3-9 in the playoffs over the rest of his career

I would feel so fucking much better about the Phillies if there was a possibility that Luzardo has 7 more innings like that in him today, but alas

Really doesn’t feel fair that my reward for watching the last 6 months of Phillies baseball is having to watch more of it against my least favorite team in the fucking sport

Previewed the first two potential elimination games of the #WNBA playoffs, including my Libs looking to make WNBA history and become only the second team ever to send the league’s best team home before the semifinals the-post-presence.beehiiv.com/p/wnba-round...
