The Fever's season is over, and the fallout is already messier than the series.
Trysta and Sarah react to the Aces eliminating Indiana in Game 3, then dig into Fever exit-interview day. GM Amber Cox's statement defending the fan base, Kelsey Mitchell saying she has to be "selfish" in her career, and Stephanie White's uncertain future are all on the table. Then they unpack the Raven Johnson apology controversy, Dawn Staley's response, and why the discourse around A'ja Wilson has them asking who's allowed to say what. Plus, Becky Hammon's pointed "No" to a question about the Fever and Aces, and how it landed.
They also break down the Valkyries' wild comeback over the Wings, Paige Bueckers' tough night, and what's ahead in a semifinal slate with the Aces facing Golden State and the Liberty facing the Dream.

The Liberty just sent Minnesota home, Arike Ogunbowale dropped a 45-point playoff record, and A'ja Wilson had a fourth-quarter moment nobody saw coming.

Trysta and Sarah break down the Liberty's series-clinching win over the Lynx, including the benching of reigning Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles and Cheryl Reeve's postgame comments about not having "the right pieces."

Then it's the Fever's Game 2 comeback over the Aces, Caitlin Clark's historic first half, and the fallout from A'ja Wilson's confrontation with a fan. Plus, Arike Ogunbowale's record-setting overtime performance for the Wings, Angel Reese's disruptive two-way impact for the Dream, and why Trysta is officially Liberty-pilled after a trip to Barclays Center.

The Vets Showed Out! WNBA Playoffs Recap: First Games of Round One

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/9da7dca7-79cd-487a-87aa-b4d400e178c3/transcript

The Connecticut Sun are now the Houston Comets, and Trysta and Sarah are raising a glass to a dynasty that just got stolen.

Before the playoffs begin, Trysta and Sarah put a bow on the 2026 WNBA regular season with their most disappointing teams, biggest surprises and breakout rookies. They start with the Sparks and Sky, two teams that fell far short of what Vegas expected. Then they ask how the Mercury turned a Finals appearance into a lost season. On the bright side, they celebrate the Mystics' 28-win season, the culture the Portland Fire built in year one and the Golden State Valkyries' rise to the No. 2 seed.

Plus, the rookies nobody saw coming, including Sidney Taylor, Cody McMahon and the Liberty's Pauline Astier. There's also a heated debate over whether the Toronto Tempo or the Portland Fire is better set up for the future. And will Juju Watkins really end up in Toronto?

IN THIS EPISODE:
💔 A toast to the Connecticut Sun and the "stolen" Houston Comets dynasty
📉 Why the Sparks, Sky and Mercury were the season's biggest disappointments
📈 How the Mystics won 28 games and earned the 5 seed
🔥 Portland Fire's culture, coaching and first-year fight
