I hesitate to even use the word 'getting', but this is getting absolutely ridiculous.

The US will be making the short trip to Puerto Rico, Senegal are probably pretty happy, and if Brazil somehow don't make it this time they only have themselves to blame. #FIBAWWC

15 minutes early so I'm not too worried yet, but League Pass stream for Game 1 is currently showing this. Gotta love a strong start. #WNBA

Below is the pool of officials for the Finals. Only change from the group that worked the semis is Ashley Gloss is gone and Suffren/Wooten are apparently only 'alternates'. No idea why you wouldn't have one of the main pool at each game as the alternate, but hey. #WNBA

Whichever clubs you're with, in whatever sport, this is pretty freaking ridiculous.

Unless I missed it, the league seems to have skipped/postponed a couple of scheduled award announcements. Did somebody decide it might've been a little awkward to announce Napheesa Collier on an All-Defensive team on Wednesday? #WNBA

Don't know if anyone else can see it, but I think there's a small error on this pop-up on the official site.

By the way, remember when they sold 16% of the league for about 1/4 of what a single franchise is now going for, partly in order to improve their digital output? #WNBA

It's pretty uncommon that the exact same three-person officiating crew would work consecutive games together, without even one change. Which means this listed group for Vegas-Indiana today feels like a pretty intentional choice... #WNBA

Brutal fourth quarter boxscore for Minnesota (and it felt like Phoenix got way more offensive boards than they were credited with). Collier only took one shot, and only Kliundikova hit any. #WNBA

Arsenal players showing up for a sexy funeral but Emily Fox really doesn't care that the guy's dead.

Makes sense. Lots of college experience, been in the USA Basketball setup for a long time, and with the Worlds in September next year it would've been awkward for any currently-employed WNBA coach to take it on. 2026 is gonna be tricky, though. Maybe biggest chance for non-USA win in decades. #WNBA

Phoenix's slightly ridiculous first-half shotchart. They don't just have 42 points in the paint, they have 36 points from inside the restricted area. #WNBA
