Also a lot to like about Sydney Taylor on the Chicago Sky. Besides a game-high 23 points vs. Atlanta, her game has a snap to it offensively—fireball pass in transition, good first step on drive—that I think gives a great change of pace to Chicago's cluttered backcourt rotation.

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.

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

Took some time to watch NYL-PHX OT. Two more clips of GSV attacking 15, with VB pulling vs drop and then horns vs. 12. Temi hits the middie. Hiedeman (first, Williams) very consistent with setting her leverage to the wing and forcing middle. Good old empty PnR and horns reps.

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.

Just to close the thread, FB put the nail in the coffin with some more of the cross screen set, including a rip screen variant (Rupert missed). Meesseman got a good look off the usual and hit a few straight middies to put the game out of reach (OLY head coach Froso Drakaki was not happy).

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).

The Valkyries are going places.

The Mersin backcourt was Valkyrie-heavy: Tip Hayes and Julie Vanloo. Hayes, on a pitch count, flashed some explosiveness (less so when guarded by Charles), and Vanloo hit one of her patented deep threes, but Mersin shot just 22/62 (eFG - 42.7%) and turned the ball over 16 times.

The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!

In my head, the 80s were just two decades ago. The neon lights, the wood-paneled consoles, the simplicity of it all - it feels so close. But 20 years ago was the mid-2000s. We’ve traded floppy disks for the cloud, but I’m still holding on. I may be in 2026, but my heart is set to "Retro."
