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)

Joctyė gets her right back, stonewalling the Salaün drive late in the shot clock... with Laeticia Amihere, switching into the low defender role, getting in on the help as well.

A couple of (the many) clips that didn't make it: The Tempo created two turnovers with Nyara Sabally blitzing the ballscreen, against both Georgia Amoore and Sonia Citron, in the fourth quarter. Veteran technique to hold the screener w/inside and attack ball w/outside hand.

Cold, like Minnesota. Nasty strongside pindown action, McBride hits it. Ceci not top-locking off the slow cut, gets backscreened. Temi can't call it for her. Great route again and screen from Collier.

A little Valkyries foreign legion action: Justė Jocytė isolates against Janelle Salaün, drives and kicks, Coulibaly hits the three to open things up for Girona in #EuroLeagueWomen earlier. (Praha was not in zone to start the possession, just helped aggressively against the drive.)

Ok, wrapping this one up. I'm going to break down how Galatasaray exploited and executed enough upon Schio's defense to get the win in tomorrow morning's post, but until then, some nice plays from Cecilia Zandalasini (always poised in the paint) and a nice 3 off Zoom action for Kitty Laksa.

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...

Great chess match. Schio (ATO) goes flex (screen) reject pindown, forcing the rotation and finding the open corner three. They run it again, and watch #11 (Derin Erdogan) recognize the action & call out the reject and follow. Galatasaray executes defensively and gets a stop.

Setting that screen lets Burton go downhill and get a better angle to make that skip pass as opposed to having to throw cross-body when taking the lower screen middle.

For the Bluesky crowd, @lucaskaplan.bsky.social posted a good coaching clinic appearance Lynne Roberts (Sparks head coach) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U-W... Early on, she talks about the Sparks' cutting principles, so I made a quick cut with examples (one of Gabby's steals was one of these):

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow, but Louisiana vs. Callais is a slap in the face to those who bled for that victory. During Freedom Summer, James Chaney was murdered in Mississippi just for helping Black Americans reclaim their voice at the ballot box.

On Taiwan’s defense: this would be a SALE — Taiwan would pay for its own weapons, unlike the U.S.-taxpayer-funded military AID sent to Israel and Ukraine. Surely Taiwan deserves the chance to defend itself against invasion.

This is amazing. Ukraine is now using low cost high altitude balloons, leveraging the natural prevailing winds from Ukraine to Russia. The balloons don't look like targets. Hovering deep into Russian territory, the drone is released and then flies to its target.

No one should have to choose between the cost of lifesaving insulin and putting food on the table. We need to provide some help amid soaring health care costs, and by capping monthly insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would do just that.

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government. Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp. My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

The Liberals’ budget bill hides a major threat to Canada’s democratic checks and balances. It gives ministers sweeping power to override Parliament by waiving laws for select individuals and corporations. Such extraordinary measures shouldn't be buried in a 600‑page omnibus bill.
