The Valkyries are going places.

Great coverage read from A'ja Wilson. Hillmon undercuts the screen aggressively, so Wilson cuts/powers through to the rim for an and-one. A baseline inbound play the Dream saw on film, and Hillmon executed the coverage to take away the shot, but Wilson (/LVA?) just countered to great success.

What's awesome about this Tempo BLOB is how Marina Mabrey executes it. Toronto spams screen-the-screener baseline, so Mercury very much have it on their scout, but Mabrey ghosts the first screen instead of setting the usual backscreen. That catches Brochant a step behind. Game.

Good fastbreak looks from Venezia's Francesca Pasa—gotta like the aggressiveness to go at, and finish over, bigger defenders and make the right reads at high speed. Play-driving is such an important quality.

Schio again with the sequencing: nice start-of-quarter slice to get Conde a post up and an even nicer turnaround make. Then, post touch again for Conde with a weakside pin-in screen slip. Talked more about Conde's game here: riseofthevalkyries.substack.com/p/the-on-sea...

Minnesota just demolishes Carla Leite with screens off the ball (cross-matched onto McBride, double pindown, three) and on the ball (point of attack defender, Phee screen-and-roll, bucket). Quick hook.

The Mercury got some good offense when Alyssa Thomas rejected the inverted ball screen, a play with which Phoenix killed Golden State last year and will run plenty of this year (especially once Sami Whitcomb is back).

@ericapricot.bsky.social it's the good old Warriors shrug, Nakase so avant garde with the "W"

Looking forward to Liberty-Fire tonight (in-person!), especially how both teams manipulate the middle third. Opening set from NYL yesterday: gut/zoom with a paint seal from the screener Sabally or a flow to remove the help defense. Portland working with some similar concepts...

Mini thread: #WNBA end-of-quarter defensive pressure. Something we saw a lot from Valkyries in 2025. "Punch" (look at Nakase's signal) can let the defense speed up the offense and can net a 2-for-1 possession, or abbreviated opponent last look (statistically valuable), at the end of quarters. (1/4)

Sadly and predictably, Iran appears to have achieved escalation dominance by closing the Strait of Hormuz. I asked what plans the government have for a post-conflict region where Iran retains the upper hand because it can dictate global energy prices and continue to threaten gulf nations.

This is another reminder of the volatility and riskiness of fossil fuels. It shows that a system built on ageing infrastructure leaves Australia vulnerable to fuel insecurity and price shocks. We are relieved to hear that all workers on site are safe.

Everyday Doug Ford tells us he’s doing a great job. The latest jobs numbers tell a different story. A 7.6% unemployment rate is the highest in a decade (excl. the pandemic) BC,QC and AB jobs are going up. ON jobs are going down. Doug Ford is not doing a good job on jobs.

TV: very taken with Poker Face - both with the concept and Natasha Lyonne's watchability The fillums: Might not be a whodunit *as such*, but the scene in Michael Mann's Manhunter where Will Graham works out the killer's identity is the perfect whodunitty scene.
