Atlanta don't own their 2025 first round pick, so gain nothing from being in the lottery. Everyone else, from a franchise perspective, would probably be better off with ping-pong balls rather than losing two extra games in New York. #WNBA

New piece from me today - WNBA's Race for the Bottom: Lottery or 8th Seed? Breaking down what's become a 4-way battle for this year's final playoff spot, and whether the teams involved should actually want to win it. #WNBA 🔗: herhoopstats.substack.com/p/wnba-race-fo… 📸: Chris Poss

Gregg Warburton having an outrageous, A'ja Wilson-esque game from mid-range to drag Great Britain to a Paralympic final. 13-21 from the field for 26pts so far and virtually every one of them from 15-18ft.

Laney-Hamilton back in the starting lineup ahead of Fiebich tonight, which puts Fiebich back in the running for this award. Going back to the bench might've earned her $5,150 and a shiny trophy. #WNBA

And by "every Friday throughout the WNBA season" they mean "It's starting with precisely 14 days left in the season. But how 'bout that Caitlin Clark, huh?!?" #WNBA

Breanna Stewart 0-5 for 1 point at halftime, her lowest-scoring half in any game this season. What's the opposite of a Revenge Game? #WNBA

Scary thing for the rest of the league is that New York can have Stewart and Ionescu shoot a combined 7-28 from the field and still be up on a good team by double-digits anyway. #WNBA

Engstler having yet another really effective game after a string of them recently. Laying a marker down that she can be part of this very young core group that Washington are trying to build. #WNBA

22 points scored in that game by players who *could* be playing for the Great Britain nation team. I'd love to see what we could do if everyone who's eligible was actually consistently involved. #WNBA

ICYMI: Deep dive on the four-team fight for the 8th and final WNBA playoff spot, which got even tighter last night with another Mystics win. Postseason or ping-pong balls? #WNBA 🔗: herhoopstats.substack.com/p/wnba-race-fo… 📸: Chris Poss

I wonder how many calls A'ja Wilson's agent has gotten in the last couple of weeks from companies offering to provide her with their specific brand of white t-shirts. #WNBA

Obviously it took a little while, but you have to give Sides and her staff real credit for building a pretty competent and cohesive defense with this group. They're not doing anything earth-shattering, but they're just pretty solid now. Which is a big step up. #WNBA

26 points is the lowest-scoring first half that the Las Vegas Aces franchise has had since they stopped being the San Antonio Stars. #WNBA

As I said in my article yesterday, Dallas's playoff chances get really, really slim if they can't win tonight (and Sunday in Chicago). Lose this and 8th becomes pretty close to a three-horse race. #WNBA

Would be wild if the Wings *finally* fix their "so who the hell do we play at point guard?" dilemma by completely unintentionally falling ass-backwards into Paige Bueckers. #WNBA
