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?
