A look back at when I wrote about how the Seattle Storm's ownership should invest even more into scouting as they look for ways to gain an advantage against the rest of the #WNBA. Women's basketball is growing significantly. Continue to grow with it! stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/storm-lose...

The Seattle Storm will pick 3rd overall in the 2026 #WNBADraft. The Dallas Wings win the #1 overall pick. The Minnesota Lynx will pick 2nd overall. Washington (4th) and Chicago (5th) round out the group. The draft went completely chalk with no movement.

The Seattle Storm need to figure out how they want to build their frontcourt moving forward, and that centers around their decision on Ezi Magbegor. But it's not just their decision, it's hers too. This is the Ezi Magbegor Conundrum. #WNBA stormchaserswnba.substack.com/p/the-ezi-ma...

The Las Vegas Aces have won their 3rd #WNBA Championship as they sweep the Phoenix Mercury 4-0. They win this game 97-86. A'ja Wilson led the way with 31 points and 17-19 FT. Jewell Loyd wins her 3rd title as well. It's Las Vegas's 3rd title in 4 years (2022, 2023, 2025).

Nate should have used his reset on that last possession so the Mercury could have gone two-for-one. A big coaching mistake in my eyes. #WNBA

I am hopeful the Phoenix Mercury can win tonight, just so we actually might get a competitive #WNBAFinals. It felt like it in real time and even more so now. The Phoenix Mercury blew a huge opportunity by losing Game 1, especially with Las Vegas coming off a grueling Game 5 OT win over Indiana.

FINAL: The Las Vegas Aces go up 2-0 as they defeat the Phoenix Mercury 91-78 in a game that wasn't that close. A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young combined for 60 points (2nd most by a duo in #WNBAFinals history). Wilson had 28 points and 14 rebounds, Young with 32 points - 21 in the 3rd quarter. #WNBA

FINAL: The Las Vegas Aces defeat the Phoenix Mercury 89-86. A'ja Wilson had 21 points & 10 rebounds, but it was really Dana Evans (21 points) and Jewell Loyd (18 points), both off the bench, that led Las Vegas to the Game 1 victory. #WNBA

It’ll be the Las Vegas Aces versus the Phoenix Mercury in the #WNBA Finals. What a hell of a series by the Indiana Fever who took Las Vegas to OT in Game 5 despite numerous injuries.

No matter what happens, a former Seattle Storm great will win the #WNBA Championship this year. Sami Whitcomb with the Phoenix Mercury, Jewell Loyd with the Las Vegas Aces, or Natasha Howard with the Indiana Fever.
