#WNBA fans: as college hoops is coming around, what team should I be watching outside of the normal SC, UConn, ND, UCLA, and USC. Any sleeper teams?!

Two things can be true at the same time: 1. ATL didn’t play to the best of their abilities the last two games. 2. The ATL whistle during Game 5 was awful. The paint was a war zone lol. Angel truly does usually get manhandled in the paint and it’s not often called. #WNBA

I don’t mind losing. I just hate losing when the officiating is not fair. That’s why my heart is hurting and heavy tonight. #WNBA

Did they really just call that an offensive on Angel? This game is over. 😭 #WNBA

This game has been the worst for me of the series. It hasn’t been fun. It’s “close” but neither team is playing great. ATL is TIRED because they don’t get to rest. The refs have pretty much called this one. I’m just bummed. #WNBA

Angel needs to hit a 3 and fast. #WNBA

I am literally about to mentally have a breakdown. #WNBA

This sequence just told me how this quarter is going to be officiated. #WNBA

“Never gets old” That song haunts my soul lol #WNBA

If the Valks end up winning this series, Stokes honestly should be Finals MVP. She’s been the one who has done what the Valks needed consistently through the series. #WNBA

Karl… what the hell are you challenging this for. Please don’t waste it for us. Why. I can’t. My soul is hurting. I’m about to cry. #WNBA

I feel like the Valks having a deeper bench utilization is going to play into this game and game 6 (and maybe 7 if we get there) since the ATL starters play sooooo much. #WNBA

Thoughts as we enter the half: If ATL wants to win, they need to play more team-based ball. If GSV wants to win, they need to keep the pace like this since it’s more their style. #WNBA

The final score is about to be less than 100 total. 😬 #WNBA

Hear me out: let AR5 attempt at least one 3pt FG. They are what, 14 or 15-0 when she hits one. We need it lol! #WNBA

MADINA IS OUT THERE! #WNBA

RHYNE TIME ACTIVATED BABY #WNBA

Zandalsini got away with that first foul and Angel was like “I don’t care who fouls me, I’m making a bucket.” #WNBA

Is Karl going to go to his bench?! Like Pao Pao is in, so maybe we can get some Okot minutes 🤞🏼 #WNBA

ATL, we can’t be leaving these free throws behind like we did during Game 4. #WNBA

I didn’t see a whole lot of contact on that last JC foul. I need them to show me a different angle so I can confirm. 🤣 #WNBA

AR5 needed that to get her going! Let’s go! #WNBA

I’m already stressed and we haven’t even tipped the ball yet. 🤣 #WNBA

The Cathy Englebert Era is poised to close in exactly the same way it has operated throughout: a complete shitshow that was easily avoidable and could only happen because you hate your own product.

A GAME AT 12:30PM WHEN THE DREAM OR VALKS COULD ACTUALLY CLINCH THE TITLE DURING THAT GAME?!? INSANITY #WNBA

The white jerseys are not good luck for us in this series. 0-2 in the Finals when wearing the white ATL jerseys. #WNBA

You’re in foul trouble, you’re in foul trouble, EVERYONE IS IN FOUL TROUBLE! #WNBA

This game has me STRESSED! #WNBA

IZZY YOU BETTER!!!!! #WNBA

I think the Valks plan in this game is to rage bait Angel because that interaction before we went to timeout was something. #WNBA

Angel might not be having a great offensive game, but she is still playing great defense and has the most assists on ATL at the half. Everyone is going to have an off game offensively, but you can always play great defense! #WNBA

Smesko, can you put Okot on in for like 2 minutes and see how she mixes things up? I’m just asking for 2 minutes. #WNBA

They are HAMMERING the absolute hell out of AR5 in the paint. I get her frustration. #WNBA

I need ATL to keep the home court protected! ATL HOEEE! #WNBA

I am just so glad we ended up with ATL and the Valks in the #WNBA Finals. Two underdogs in different ways. ATL: Composure - even when the odds are often stacked against them. The Valks: Making it on year 2 while being made up of players teams didn’t protect in the ‘25 Expansion Draft. Cinema!

GIVE ANGEL THE BALLLLLL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS! She IS ready to WORK! #WNBA

I missed the first half because my nephew had a soccer game. I’m now home to lock in for the second half! Let’s go Dream! Anything key I missed that didn’t translate on the box score?! #WNBA

Me trying to figure out why all of the emotions are hitting hard this evening.

Takeaways from Game 1: *The week off had both teams having a rough FG% *Nakase and Smesko are both good at making in-game adjustments *ATL needs to remember that they aren’t going to get the calls they want *The Valks’ defense was tough but also sloppy *ATL needed Bonner on the floor more #WNBA

Burton did have Angel hooked so bad in that sequence where she just got that foul, to be honest. #WNBA

ATL, take a couple breaths and remind yourselves that you are the baddies you know you are. You’ve got this! #WNBA

TIP is a great player but she’s always on the floor 🤣 #WNBA

Every time Angel sits, they lose their lead. Ridiculous #WNBA

How lucky are we to have a finals made up of quality organizations, lovely fanbases, players who stand up for their communities. This is what the W is about #WNBA #WNBAfinals #ATLvsGSV

The face cards in this matchup are never going to decline!!! So much beauty and talent out there! #WNBA

Ballhalla will always bring the energy that is needed. I love it! #WNBA

I have butterflies in my stomach for the game! I’m so excited but also nervous! I want some great basketball! Let’s go ATL! #WNBA

I may live in Maine, but I’m repping ATL and AR5 for Game 1 day! #WNBA

I feel like we haven’t had any #WNBA basketball in like a month and it has only been like a week. 🤣🤣 I am Team Dream since that has been my team since the beginning of the season, but I love that it’s the Valks they are against. I won’t be upset one bit seeing the Valks win!
