  If the WNBA PLAYOFFS Started TODAY: Full Bracket & Finals Predictions

  Aug 17, 202613 min

  What would the WNBA Playoffs look like if the season ended today? Tacarra and Courtney break down the current WNBA playoff bracket, predict every first-round matchup, and look ahead to potential semifinals and WNBA Finals matchups. From the Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream to the Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty, we debate which teams are actually built for playoff basketball. Could Caitlin Clark and the Fever make a deep playoff run? Are the Minnesota Lynx still the team to beat? Could the Washington Mystics upset the Golden State Valkyries? And do the Aces have enough to make another run at the WNBA Finals? We also discuss potential playoff breakout players, including Caitlin Clark, Sonia Citron, Shakira Austin and Paige Bueckers, and which stars could take their game to another level when the pressure rises.

  Dijonai Carrington EJECTED, SOPHIE RESPONDS, Caitlin Clark Gets 8th Tech & Lynx EXPOSE Aces

  Aug 8, 202640 min

  DJ Carrington was ejected. Caitlin Clark picked up her eighth technical foul. And the Minnesota Lynx sent a major message against the Las Vegas Aces. Tacarra and Courtney break down a chaotic day across the WNBA, starting with DiJonai Carrington’s flagrant 2 ejection and the locker-room social media post that followed. They discuss the context behind Carrington’s comments about white privilege, Sophie Cunningham’s response, and the bigger conversation around officiating, reputation, and how different players are treated across the league. Then, the Mid Majors turn to Caitlin Clark’s eighth technical foul. Should the tech be rescinded? Could Clark be facing a suspension? And how much does a player’s reputation with officials influence the whistle? Finally, Minnesota made a STATEMENT against Las Vegas. The Lynx’s defense made life difficult for A’ja Wilson, while Napheesa Collier, Courtney Williams, Olivia Miles and Minnesota’s spacing showed exactly why this team looks built for a championship run.
