- It’s racism. Specifically the racism Of the coterie of white ex-South Africans that surround him. And also punishment for Gaza.
- None of the top scorers from their two pre season games made the team. 🤔 #wnba (I wish they’d left Laetitia in Atlanta if they were just going to cut her. Sigh).

- I think Sky is coming into this year with something to prove but also having rediscovered her joy in the game, so I’m curious to see what that leads to. Seattle is one of my favourite teams so I’m hoping for a deep playoff run.

- I forgot about Dominique. 🫣 My bad. She’s the only rookie they didn’t waive.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Sure did. They waived all their rookies. 😬 I believe they’re the oldest team on average.

- Looks like Seattle will go ahead with 10 +KLS possibly picking up someone on rolling hardship contracts throughout the season. ?
- It was a tight fit but he made it in a pinch.
- *crab-walked
- 😂😂😂
- Yes!
- This is the wave! Encourage kids to engage with stable archives, to learn the difference between sensationalised content and the news. Love it.
- The Great Waiving is underway - the dark night before the dawn of a new season .
- Everyone mad at KB when Dana Evans is the one who took Deja Kelly’s spot. #wnba
- [Not loaded yet]
- Same.
- No because right now there are too many players who are better than her defensively, and almost none of them is recovering from knee surgery like she is.
- Kier Starmer, man. 🙄
- *whispers* Atlanta should cut Haley Jones and pick up Bree Hall.

- Izzy Harrison is gonna get cut and it’s gonna be awkward.
- I bought this book solely to annoy Mark Zuckerberg but good grief, what a read.
- Everyone is starting a podcast and then everyone is going on everyone else’s podcast to promote their podcast so that podcasting is now a round robin of podcast promotion.
- I don’t love the KB slander. Y’all forget that she’s only in year 5 and was injured most of year 4. It’s normal for a player not to become a starter until year 4 - what is abnormal is for rookies to get starter minutes which is only happening for the weakest teams or teams needing fans. #wnba
- People who talk shit about KB don’t watch off season basketball. KB has been a top performer at AU pro hoops every year she’s played. She’s a fantastic three point shooter and pretty decent defensively. The problem was always that Becky’s bench was too deep on guards. #wnba
- Sydney Colson is an amazing basketball player who got the most minutes off the bench for the aces and that was still only about 4 minutes per game. And KB a) was injured most of 2024 and b) played behind her. Don’t just look at the stats - look at the team dynamic. Deja was gonna be a benchwarmer.
- The weaker the team the more likely their rookies will get playing time. Plus in a normal season none of these rookies would be playing as many minutes as they are now. The teams are taking advantage of their social media popularity to grow the game. Becky is old school and benches her rookies
- Colour me surprised!
- Excellent thread. 10/10 no notes. If you enjoy old school basketball that’s not just people running around shooting threes, you will love women’s basketball. Plus all games are on the WNBA app which costs $35 a year and is available all over the world.
- Hi BlueSky, I created another guide to help you and your pals pick which #WNBA team to support this year: no stats, just vibes. As the title suggests, it is incomplete & biased. (Thread, obvi)
- George W. Bush was the worst President of the last few generations and it's really not close. what we in the US are (rightly!) up in arms about is that Trump is the worst President for us, specifically - which is a different thing

- Arguably, he is the root cause. The genesis of the tea party, the rabid and parochial patriotism, the disposability of constitutionalism and legal frameworks etc etc. Many other contributing factors, but he was the match that lit the flame in the gas filled room.

- Breaking news: As part of an agreement hammered out in Geneva over the weekend, the US will lower tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% from 145% and China will reduce duties on US imports to 10% from 125%. www.ft.com/content/9288...
- The Wings have waived Madi Scott and Mai Yamamoto. 😔 #wnba
- Madi Scott is gonna be the next Dallas cut, isn’t she? 😔 #wnba
- One public health intervention that has worked in Kenya is the ban on smoking in public places. There was a time when smoking was incredibly common but now it’s pretty unusual outside social settings.
- Hype is hype but I think his crazy to start Paige Bueckers over Ty Harris, considering the amazing season Ty had at AU and how much she contributed to Connecticut’s playoff runs. Hopefully they’re just resting Ty. #wnba
- Madi Scott is gonna be the next Dallas cut, isn’t she? 😔 #wnba

- You think Caldwell over Jones? (Agree with everything else).

- Feels like they - including Maya - have all finally realised that their jobs are on the line.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Agreed. Haley seems to have a little defensive rhythm but she’s shooting terribly.
- Is Maya Caldwell on a guaranteed contract?
- I feel bad for Shyanne. This is a lot of pressure, and there are no true vets on the floor right now. But the Washington rookies held their own against this team so the Atlanta rookies need to find it. #wnba
- Rhyne is so streaky. #wnba
- [Not loaded yet]
- I find that the Dream feeds off her energy. When she starts to get frustrated she can’t rein in her demeanour and it brings the energy down- her youth really comes across when things aren’t working. If the three is not failing she needs to do something else.
- Now it’s clear that everyone it Atlanta is afraid of shooting. Confidence low, accuracy lower. #wnba
- [Not loaded yet]
- It’s wild. Her, JJ Quinerly and Deja Kelly. What were they thinking?
- Paopao is a great addition to Atlanta. If Sellers can also find it in her to play with a similar spark (bye Maya and Haley) Atlanta will be in really great shape. #wnba
- Okay Te-Hina, I see you! 👏 👏 👏 #wnba
- Watching other teams makes you fully appreciate how good A’ja, Phee, Stewie (when she’s not in the playoffs) and Arike are at getting the ball inside the basket on the first try. #wnba

- It’s a pre season game. He’s probably testing out different configurations given that BG is a lock but Coffey did unexpectedly well last game and could work in a starting rotation as well.

- Particularly if the Bree Hall rumours are true.

- I’ve seen some rumours. (Side note, It drives me crazy when people make TikToks while driving).
- The Liberty are going to waive Izzy Harrison and it’s going to be awkward. #wnba
- Digital archives are not stable archives, especially when they are proprietary.
