The mascot costume was really designed by someone on a cocaine binge and I can't stop laughing thinking about it.

I've had it on YoutubeTV the past few years and it's been almost as seamless as the MNBA version. A few of these preseason games were tricky to find (I had to button through a few different menus) but that gets resolved in the regular season. As far as I know, that's the easiest platform
Ok I feel better because apparently all the major rivalries were the Storm ones I already knew about :D :D
Heck, Angel Reese was at the freaking Met Gala ffs. It's definitely having a moment and with broadcasting sports as whole undergoing a massive shift - now is their chance to take advantage of the new opportunities.
If anyone wanted to know what it would have been like to have modern social media when Magic / Bird or Jordan or LeBron / Curry became stars...this is it. (The NBA Finals were shown on *tape delay* prior to Magic / Bird coming to the league)
GS/Toronto getting WNBA teams in the next 2 years, Philly wants in...coming back.

These roster cuts are expected but still brutal. Sparks posted something about them doing a faux graduation for their third round pick from usc.
Missed her usc graduation to be with the team and a day later she got cut. 😐

Aces going to three-peat this season.
Going to need to find a way to see more of their games in person though.

Yeah wnba draft pick cuts are wild. Multiple first-round picks end up getting cut most years. It's wild. No clearer sign that expansion is needed
Season Opener day!
Also was this name known? Kinda bad ass.

Golden State's WNBA team to be called Valkyries
The WNBA expansion team in Golden State announced Tuesday that it will be called the Valkyries, which originates from Norse mythology and refers to a "host of warrior women who are fearless and unwavering."
Pretty excited to see Clark's debut. Don't see myself seeing every game but will be interested to see how Clark and Reese fare in their first season.

This is awesome. Theoretically I have a deposit for season tickets that should become available sometime this summer

In anticipation for the start of the season, here are some good WNBA accounts to follow:
Across the Timeline - the defacto account for WNBA stats, highly recommended
Khristina Williams, WNBA reporter
Ari Chambers, WNBA reporter
Matt Ellentuck, basketball writer that often covers the WNBA
WNBAData, smaller account that occasionally does data dives on specific topics, hit or miss IMO
Jordan Robinson, WNBA writer and podcaster

Thanks, if I could add a few:
- Steve Jones and Nekias Duncan - hosts of the Dunker Spot podcast. They're primarily NBA writers and analysts, so until the NBA ends you might see limited WNBA coverage, but they're not only two of the brightest basketball analysts I follow, they're also some of the limited pundits that cover the league from an xs and os perspective and give the league and players the respect, thoughtfulness, and analysis it deserves
- Dano Mataya - There is admittedly a sports betting angle to a lot of his account if that's not your thing, but he's a fervent fan and analyst that I appreciate - similar story with Calvin Wetzel
Watching on ESPN+, looks like a good game so far!
I've never watched a WNBA game but I'm going to try and follow some this year. Not necessarily a Caitlin Clark fan, just want to start supporting womens' sports more, but I'll just watch some games and see who I might want to follow. My parents do live in Indiana so if I do end up following them it's possible I might be able to catch a game live someday.

It's crazy seeing the disparity in the money that goes into NBA games vs the WNBA. T he court in Connecticut looks like they've also been using it for roller hockey for ten years. Someone falls down and they send someone out with a towel to clean it up instead of the sponge on a stick the NBA uses. Etc.
You're not wrong about the court condition lol
But here's hoping things can change
DT is probably foaming at the mouth waiting to tweet the I told you so. Hopefully CC settles in. Wouldn't be the first time she had a bad half
Aside from the Toy Story game and Big City Greens games, this is the first legit one. D+ will add the ESPN+ tab this fall.
Connecticut looking more patient but has more hustle too
Lot of turnovers for Indiana too, I feel like they just can't settle down
