WNBA Finals: Mercury 'kind of lost' their fight in Game 2 vs. Aces amid defensive breakdowns, inconsistent offense "I think in this game in general, it was about having some fight, and we kind of lost that," Mercury star Kahleah Copper said.

My story from Vegas on game 2: sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

President Trump calling up 300 Illinois National Guard ‘immediately’ to protect ICE, buildings for 60 days In a memo obtained by the Tribune, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Illinois National Guard leadership up to 300 members will be called into service “effective immediately.”

300 parents, teachers, doctors, managers, forklift drivers, lawyers, cable installers, cooks, etc etc ripped from their homes, families, jobs and lives....to be human shields for ICE's merry band of police academy dropouts

I always want to hear someone speak passionately about whatever it is they're passionate about.

Unironically this is like, one of the most important things ag colleges can do these days. Get on TikTok and post! God bless the weirdos (complimentary) of the extension services.

I'd prefer it in earrings but sure!

(But I also had an AMAZING discussion with a cab driver who told me that she had always wanted to design clothes but that dream got away from her. I said you can still give it a try, you're in city that always needs costume sewists. We were both crying because she's going to give it a try. )

Cab/Uber drivers in Vegas this week have told me:

-- That bitch at the Boot Barn is lucky the driver didn't kick the bitch's ass.
-- We have amethyst in our BRAINS.
-- Bush was a Republican in Name Only, and also he did 9/11.

Satou Sabally on her possible ankle injury:

“Fine.”

(Q: @benpickman.bsky.social)

I asked A'ja about the sweatsuit and she said "Alexander Wang, girl" and did a brief bit of modeling.

Uhhh, yeah I probably won't be purchasing that.

Sorry, if I have a late flight and I live in the north MKE suburbs, that's a ridiculous thing to ask. And also realize that even in MKE, not everyone has cars. So they're taking a train to Jeff Park, then getting from Jeff Park to O'Hare? That's a LOT to ask.

It's mostly for people who use O'Hare as a hub. Indy flights are similar, though I did have to fly to Indy as there are so few train options.

It's so easy to take the train to MKE! People need to do that!

See? But it's much more purple in person. So cute.

Important! Basketball! Analysis! A'ja Wilson just came in wearing a very cute purple hoodie that looks subtly tie dyed, and is glittery. Obviously, I love it.

It seems like New Yorkers and Philadelphians have something to agree on today.

Hey, another WNBA Finals game with no postgame. A reminder, the mNBA Finals on ABC always gets a postgame. Always. #WNBA #PHXvsLV

Angel McCoughtry holds the record for most points in a WNBA Finals game at 38 (2011).

Jackie has 32.

Mercury just getting sloppiner as this game goes on. 5:44 left and Nate Tibbetts has to start thinking about pulling his starters.

Buckets, the Aces mascot, is currently dressed like Freddie Mercury while holding a sign that reads "Freddie Mercury > Phoenix Mercury."

I don't disagree, but that's because Freddie Mercury > a lot of stuff

Thank you!

OK, you're now muted. You're whining and keeping yourself from enjoying the game, and annoying me.

There are real problems that need to be fixed with officiating but man when people focus on this stuff they're robbing themselves from enjoying games.

Don't do this kind of whining in my mentions. She's a post player so OF COURSE she gets fouled a lot. Only two of her points are from free throws.

After game one, Becky Hammon commented that Jewell Loyd and Dana Evans having such a big game made it easier on Jackie and A'ja because they were a little tired from the semifinals. She said yesterday that they would be ready to go for today.

Uhhh, she was right.

Feels like the only way to stop A’ja Wilson in the WNBA finals is to stop her from getting there in the first place

A’ja Wilson has a double-double.

22 points and 10 rebounds.

ahhh

are they with a W team?
