Three Teams Going In Completely Different Directions
from Let Her Shoot · host iHeartPodcasts
This week completely changed how we're looking at three WNBA teams. The Minnesota Lynx continue to prove they're a legitimate championship contender, and Olivia Miles keeps stacking performances that make an early MVP conversation feel more realistic every game. Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever remain one of the hardest teams in the league to figure out. Some nights they look like contenders, other nights they're hanging on against teams they should beat. We break down what's behind the inconsistency, Caitlin Clark's viral postgame press conference, and the state of WNBA media. Then we dive into the Phoenix Mercury, whose roster suddenly feels older, thinner, and much farther away from contention than anyone expected. Plus, we discuss Kelsey Plum's 43-point explosion, why Portland's culture has us buying in, Lauren Betts' continued growth, and why this weekend may have shifted our outlook on the league more than any other this season.
