2025 WNBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

[hermes]

second half sky turnovers have been key

[hermes]

why challenge that but not alanna's earlier?

[hermes]

sky keep turning it over

[hermes]

chicago guards need to shoulder more of the load, the last few minutes every time the sky bigs have been involved on offense it's been an automatic turnover

[hermes]

kosu on the board!

The Lynx are like a boa constrictor. You can hang with them for a while, but they keep squeezing tighter and tighter and all of a sudden you're dead.

BTW, I saw a great comment on Reddit. Someone asked who that Valkyries fan is who is always going crazy courtside (Brandin Podziemski). And one of the responses was, "He plays for the Warriors–-they’re like the Valkyries but it’s all dudes. They play in the off-season,"

Well Bonner looks like she got her game back all of a sudden

I don't think she was a good system fit.

Yeah wonder what she was thinking going to Indy.

When Bonner signed with Indiana, I thought it was a great system fit. Bonner was an all star the last two years playing for Stephanie White. With Indiana, she had a lane for a lot of playing time as an offensively and defensively versatile wing with length who could play the 2, 3, or 4 (and even defend the 1 since she was one of the primary defenders on Clark in the playoffs last year). She also got a relatively big contract, much more than she could have gotten from Phoenix if she wanted to stay with AT, and where she would probably had a smaller role on a healthy Phoenix team.

She lost playing time because she played badly, but I don't think it was a system issue or roster fit. Even when she started badly the team and fan base seemed very supportive, such as when they kept feeding her when she needed 2 points to tie Tina Thompson on the all-time scoring list, and the home crowd went nuts when she got it.

Lynx put their foot down in the 3rd.

[hermes]

yeah, big 3rd quarter

good minutes for the bench this game

[hermes]

boy the pink hair really pops under whatever lights they had on after the game

[BlacJacMac]

yeah, big 3rd quarter

good minutes for the bench this game

Whatever Bonner said to the Lynx bench after cutting the lead to 3 in the 3rd really set them off.

Sparked a 10-0 Lynx run and basically put it away.
