Oh this happens all the time. They only truly care when the league is going through tough times. I'm literally side-eyeing every single NBA reporter/media personality who doesn't even report on the WNBA to watch/read articles.

Yup! I'll be here occasionally on Bluesky as well. Hehe.

Good morning, WNBA, family! I’m excited to be back covering the #WNBAFinals between the Phoenix Mercury and the Las Vegas Aces tonight for @fwrdaxis.com.

More importantly, I look forward to discussion with my good friend @whoopsblogger2.bsky.social and all the W community. Let’s go!

they could, but Indiana is such a gritty team and they fight so I don't see them giving up yet. I don't see them giving up on their home floor. I think they win in Game 4. #WNBA

Good night! I don't have many followers on here, but I hope you enjoyed my two WNBA playoff semifinal live game posts. If you want to reach me, I'll pop by here ocassionally. I may or may not even live game post a WNBA Finals Game. #WNBA

My thoughts are the following: I believe the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx will both win Game 4 and force a Game 5 in their respective WNBA playoff semifinal series. Game 4 will be played on Sunday. It will be a ton of fun. Tune into ABC in the afternoon and ESPN in the evening to watch!

Same. I see it going to 5 games as well. Game 4 will be fun!

The Phoenix Mercury shocked everyone and are now ahead in the series 2-1. Kah, AT, and Sabally DID that!! What an exciting game!

Just hope that Phee is ok by Sunday! I see this series going to 5 games. #WNBA #WNBASky

She's just SO GOOD. A true pleasure to watch in the WNBA playoffs. #WNBA

The Phoenix Mercury were more aggressive down the stretch, they made more timely baskets and played better defense than the Minnesota Lynx. They also were more aware of how to play well during crunch time (the last few minutes of the game) which earned them the win. #WNBA
