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.

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)

Santucci's shooting mechanics and results (23.9% 3PT European comp.) leave plenty to be desired, but she had some good moments offensively, getting to the rim on and off the ball, especially against guards and wings. Also got to the line, shooting a game-high 7 free throws (6/7).

Look at her sort out and direct the switches through the action and then seamlessly (again, effortless) get into the passing lane to steal a roll pass. Then, in transition, the effort to recover, the decisiveness to swing to the boundary, and the technique to swipe the entry pass.

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.

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, finally getting a chance to watch GSV-MIN game one. Will try not to be too self-referential to the pre-game post in this thread, but it will sometimes be inevitable. riseofthevalkyries.substack.com/p/how-the-va... Zoom empty with Carleton—would love to shrink the floor more at the nail here.

Also, gotta clip the Amihere threes, which go from brick to brilliant

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.

Awak Kuier attacks and finishes at the rim. Two bad closeouts. Badiane stunts at the elbow and, flipping her hips/top foot twice, loses leverage integrity. Then Shepard rotates on the backside of a trap and overruns it by a foot—nice by Kuier to get middle twice and convert.
