Great one-on-one interview between Sue Bird and Kate Martin. This may have been before the Phoenix game.

Kate seems to really appreciate the Bay Area fan support.

I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Knew almost nothing about her. She is just solid, I’m impressed.

Wasn't able to catch the game last night, but sounds like a bit of a frustrating loss. Coulda, shoulda won, but alas. . .

Tough loss, but they've shown they can scrap and play the top teams close. Valks just need to win 2 out of every 5 games to be in the playoff picture.

Generally agree, but I don't think that version of the Mercury is a top team. Other than Sabally, their talent level is probably below the Valks, but I guess that shows how one super star can win you a game. Still frustrating, seemed like a game they should have won.

Oh well, on to more moral victories but likely scoreboard losses until we get our top players back.

PHX has been wracked with injuries, but they’ve been winning like a top team (#5 today). And Lexi Held came out of nowhere to burn the place down (she set the record for most points by an undrafted rookie).

So yes GSV blew the game, yes PHX is not the top level like NYL/MIN but they are excellent right now too.

Not to make too much of this but practice on Friday has been cancelled. I suppose traveling home either late tonight or early tomorrow made it too hard and that it’s not to be taken as a sign that after that loss, the team collectively has abandoned all ties to material desires
