😭😭😭 Best wishes.
I have reposted this where I noted that he is connected to the Fire's GM. But seriously, there are a lot of long time Assistants in the W right now. Another thing is, the Fire was late to move, coz they could've poached some College Coaches during the NCAA Off Season

Yeah. I think with Nate, them bringing up "he's a girl dad" was icky, but he does have a long career as an Assistant.

And I have been skeptic of "developmental coaches", they probably have the lowest success rate for a First Time Head Coach.

Btw. My thoughts on this remains that, if only the W was marketed well and easily accessible, they would've grown long ago.

Unfortunately, those on power, mostly men, presumed it's downfall & put them down out of pure misogyny. These numbers... the WNBA had these numbers during its first 4 seasons.

Oh, so he and the GM Vanja has some history working together (London Lions). Vanja was a former Valkyries Assistant GM.

More Men coming from the NBA to the W when you have former WNBA players on the NBA coaching bench.

Unless you're from the Popovich (Becky) and Ty Lue (Nakase) line, I'm skeptic.

Kudos to the good moms and dads who loves sports and did not fell into the hatred commentaries and online trolls.

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 3d

I agree. I will be doing rewatch this off season with what's available, will be posting my analysis. 😁

Princess Lisa SkyWalker @paraprod.bsky.social · 3d

I wish they could put every game ever recorded on there. It would be so cool to go back to those early days in the league.

I hate it when "tech giants" thinks they are aligned with Science. Actually, they are a stain to science.
Greta is a Science Advocate by just fighting for the Environment—which all of us should.

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

(Washington Post) -- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.
In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents "off-the-record," according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.
"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer," he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry's approach to AI.

Teaming up with that org was like their kryptonite. They were dead in the waters during that time. Maybe not posting anything after that fumble turn their season around. But we will see next season if they're still sticking up to them.

Mark Davis did impromptu pressers tonight. One on the podium and another with a group of reporters. I asked him the status of the latest investigation that league opened on the Aces for salary cap circumvention.

"I don’t know. If you could find out, would you please tell me."

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 3d

Hope the WNBA make league pass worth it by including games further than 2010. There are also games that were lost bcoz they were not broadcasted (I think) they're not available to be seen.

It is wild how the Mercury crumbled so easily. Worst match up ever. Proven that match ups exists.

Not biased but I remembered folks who commented on one of my posts who followed players "FROM" Unrivaled to the WNBA. Unrivaled has a cool group that I hope to get more feeds on this upcoming season.

-A'ja on track or is now the GOAT
-I'm trying to like him, but Tibetts not aligning with the female coaches and then blaming the refs in the end too is just ironic
-Fans love the Players(!), Booed Cathy and should boo all the owners
-Walk Out (not Lock Out) Incoming. The Players wants fair share

This Mercury Fans deserves a lot more than what their team has given them. Not to mention how most of them have been long time fans. They've always stood up.

Laughing how the Aces get the trophy and no one bothers on Cathy 🤣

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 4d

Congrats Aces!
Started from being down, to being Champions once again.

It's getting messier and messier.
I need to stop defending her. She's all about that 💰

Bonn Loves Sports @zangerstein.bsky.social · 4d

It remains a Basketball truth that your will not win a Championship as long as your best player is not your main scorer. At the end of the day, you need to put the ball in the hoop.

The Aces about to win their 3rd Championship in 4 seasons.
No worries here, it's over.

I dunno about AT giving it to Kelani. She's there for the defense, not to throw a post up. 😑

Oh my AT! Her shoulder!
