WNBA Semifinals - who you got?

Reeve has to be suspended. You can’t let a coach do that and only sit 21 seconds.

Hats off to Phoenix. They beat my beloved Minnesota Lynx. We just don't have an answer for Phoenix. We will see what develops on Sunday. Coach Reeve is Coach Reeve.

Styles make fights matchup. Seeing a little bit of it on the other side, where the Fever have shown the secret to defending A’ja Wilson is having an Aliyah Boston. Not enough help this year, but have to think with healthy teammates next year, it will be a problem.

Think Las Vegas definitely matches up much better with the Mercury than with Minnesota or even Indiana.

Coach Reeve is Coach Reeve.

I just saw the clip of her getting ejected at the end. I don't think I've ever seen her fired up like that before. Pretty much the entire coaching staff plus a player or two had to get involved to restrain her and get her off the court.

Also...maybe the million dollar coach knows what he's doing? I know don't count your chickens til they hatch, but he has the Lynx on the verge of elimination, and this was supposed to be their year. And he already took out the defending champs.

Reeve says Collier “has a fracture” while blasting the league’s officiating and calling for wholesale changes. She’s right in general - it is terribly officiated, and fans of all teams have said as much throughout the year. But she’s wrong about the specific play, where Collier suffered a bad luck injury on incidental contact after a steal.

And she still needs to be suspended for her out of control actions on the court.

Thomas is a physical player but that was a clean steal.

Yeah, Coach was heated. She has had crash outs before, but this one was her most epic

Hopefully the injury to Collier is minimal. Feels like this seasoned was destined to be hers, but it has started slipping through her fingers.

I saw a UCONN fan post this last year, but I’m not sure anyone has had as much heartbreak in her career as Phee:
2017-undefeated season lost on Morgan William buzzer beater

2018-undefeated season lost on Arike buzzer beater

2019-lost in Final Four after having 9pt lead in 4th quarter

2024-lost in game 5 of finals on a controversial call

2025-was prohibitive MVP front runner, obtained an injury while up 43 points in the 2nd half which likely cost her the award. Team was heavy title favorites and might bow out in the semis.
