Speaking of comms, great audio from (I assume) Kaila Charles. Good denial too from Temi but she's whistled for the foul. MIN started both halves with a cross-screen action. Sound on:

What's interesting is how it seems intended to create te timing for Portland's own 2-for-1 instead of stealing a last-second possession a la GSV. Fire didn't show it vs. Seattle, so it could just be a test, but they did fullcourt trap and play zone on two dif EOQ possessions. Something to watch!

Lauren Betts and the Mystics are going to be just fine. I like using her as a high post facilitator, which also opens up the handoff game, simplifies her rolls, and expands her role, per se. herhoopstats.substack.com/p/lauren-bet...

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).

21 give flare again, just as in previous matchups, and VB sparks it. Great, luxurious screen from Temi to catch Carleton (guarding VB as discussed) more effectively than in the previous game. Also note the weakside pindown from Salaün to draw away the help.

OK then, Serena Sundell! Nail tag w/ice coverage, recovers on the blind pig handoff, uses length to get the block from behind, drives the play in transition off the rebound and kicks it to Steph Talbot for three.

Clever from Maria Conde/Schio. They show the Spain action early (backscreen roll, pop), and Jess Shepard gets fouled. Then, off a BLOB, they show the same action, but Conde slips the back screen. If Shepard fades wing, she might be able to hold Kuier and negate the recovery to the paint/contest.

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.

Indiana Fever - top lock counter. Sims top locks Kelsey Mitchell against the offball screen, so Mitchell goes shallow, creating inside leverage for an open lane to the basket and cutting into space when Boston catches (great perimeter spacing and timing).

Look at her BLOB inbound defense—she has the presence to take away the first option, the second option, and her length further pushes a deep inbound pass. That takes time and space away from the offense, and stacking plays where you remove both things is elite defensive foundation.

President #Trump demonstrates his sense of humor by having lackeys remove all news of the #January6th, 2021 #riot at the nation's #Capitol from the White House website. Poof! It's as though it never happened.

Ending the flu vaccine requirement is incredibly stupid. Our military has implemented safe & healthy vaccines for nearly 250 years. Hegseth’s putting our soldiers, sailors, and airmen at great risk.

in a time where "normality" fails us over and over, creativity and the possibilities it opens are absolute necessity. its worth minding that most forms of progress where once considered absurd... creative solutions are a must for a better world #pottery #folkart #creativity #art #survival
