For real, this is a very physical series and i wouldn't have it any other way. Whoever comes out on top will be in the right mindset to take on the Aces (no disrespect to the Wings, but its a wrap).

Friday night playoff hoops! Can't wait

Genuine question - as someone not in the US, how do I watch the WNBA?

I've seen a couple of full games before, but those on Youtube long after they were concluded. Is there a WNBA game pass or something?

yep WNBA league pass is very cheap.
They've also streamed a lot of games on Amazon prime this year. If you're a streamer, most free streaming sites have the WNBA games as well.

Right now I think the rest of the playoffs will air on ESPN. Not sure how that works outside of the USA though, Franco.

Is there a reason why there aren't any WNBA highlights on youtube?

is it from a channel named bball enthusist?

I only see that one from some reason. It's not an official source and it's low quality.

It could also be due to my region

I do see some vids from bball enthusiast but mostly I'm seeing videos from the official WNBA channel.

I don't see any game highlights from the WNBA channel, their latest video is 10 days ago. I'm in Taiwan, I'm guessing the highlights aren't available to all regions?

Not that there are many people looking for WNBA highlights here but it is kind of strange to expect people to pay for highlights.

Alyssa Thomas has played 197 out of a possible 200 minutes in the playoffs. Insane durability.

It's probably been said before but AT is who Simmons was supposed to be. Not a good shooter (but still tries sometimes) but can do everything else really well. Maybe Simmons should just watch the highlight film of AT for the whole offseason.

He really should, because her style of hoops is literally perfect for him. She pushes the rock, puts pressure on the defense and makes plays. She does a lot for her team.

Simmons says he wants to be a PG, well he needs to watch footage of her. It takes pride, drive, and aggression to play like she does
