Why Isn’t Paige Bueckers More Popular & Will Caitlin Clark & the Fever Make the Playoffs
The WNBA playoffs are kicking off later this month and there’s a lot up in the air. We discuss the key games we’re keeping an eye on, which teams might not make the cut, and who has it all on the line before the games begin.
Plus, we have some thoughts on where the love is for Paige Bueckers. Hint: it’s everywhere. But the media needs to do better.`
And Chelsea is once again coming for an NWSL star, this time Angel City FC’s Alyssa Thompson. We discuss what this says about the NWSL’s strategy for growth and how the league needs to get better at keeping its homegrown talent.
And we’ve got a new Bicker of the Week that arose on Megan and Sue’s flight back to New York City. They both say why they’re mad this week!
