The WNBA Has a Leadership Problem... & Week in Review
<p>This week we're starting with a conversation that's bigger than basketball.</p><p>The WNBA continues to grow at an incredible pace, but growth also comes with responsibility. I share why I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the league's leadership, Cathy Engelbert's role, and how inconsistent responses to major incidents are creating space for assumptions and distracting from the game itself. We also discuss the racial dynamics surrounding some of the biggest conversations in the league and why those discussions deserve to be handled with more care.</p><p>From there, we get into everything that happened on the court. We talk about why the Valkyries continue to impress, whether the Tempo have officially won me over, the evolution of the Sparks under Lynne Roberts, the Liberty and Lynx matchup, Atlanta's frustrating inconsistency, where the Mercury go from here, and whether Olivia Miles has entered the MVP conversation. I also share my thoughts on standout performances by players like Frieda Bühner, Nia Coffey, Jessica Shepard, Justine Pissott, and more, while breaking down the biggest games and trends across the league.</p><p>As always, this is a basketball-first conversation focused on habits, team building, decision-making, and the bigger picture of where the WNBA is headed.</p><p>-</p><p>Follow me on social media:</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5">https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5</a></p><p>-</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:17 Housekeeping | The best excuse ever</p><p>03:54 The racial element of the big conversations happening surrounding the W</p><p>09:26 Is the WNBA headed in the right direction? | The Cathy Problem </p><p>18:10 Player of the Week: Ola Kosu</p><p>20:07 Who Won the Week: Valkyries</p><p>22:22 The Basketball</p><p>23:14 Valkyries vs Sun </p><p>27:11 UCLA Player Ranking </p><p>28:20 Wings vs Tempo | The Tempo are moving me</p><p>30:16 Arike — A Wing for Life?</p><p>32:15 Game Stats continued</p><p>33:57 Sky vs Sparks </p><p>36:31 Lynne Roberts & The Sparks Evolution</p><p>43:49 Liberty vs Lynx </p><p>44:22 Liberty Bigs ….

The Good, The Bad & The 'Why Are We Doing That?' | WNBA Midseason Thoughts
<p>This week's episode is a little different. Instead of breaking down every game, I'm sharing the biggest thoughts I've had while watching the league over the past week.</p><p>From the Chicago Sky, Sparks, and Storm to the Liberty, Aces, Lynx, Valkyries, and more, I discuss what's impressed me, what's been frustrating, and a few trends that have me asking... why are we doing that?</p><p>I also touch on Chennedy Carter, Cathy Engelbert and the recent congressional discussion, Alex Sarama and CLA, All-Star selections, officiating, Olivia Nelson-Ododa's case for Most Improved Player, and where several teams stand as we move deeper into the season.</p><p>-</p><p>Follow me on social media:</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5">https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5</a></p><p>-</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:17 Housekeeping | Episode Format </p><p>01:14 Addendum | Chennedy Carter, Cathy Engelbert & Congress </p><p>11:37 Tough Conversations | Shake It Up or Bust </p><p>12:46 Skylar Diggins, Sloot, and the Chicago Sky </p><p>24:37 The Sparks are running out of time</p><p>34:49 The Storm | Flashes of excellence </p><p>39:29 The Sun | Olivia Nelson Ododa for MIP</p><p>45:20 Alex Sarama & CLA | I’m Over It </p><p>1:01:38 Tempo </p><p>1:04:40 Mystics</p><p>1:05:51 Dream | Valkyries BELT</p><p>1:13:26 Brief thoughts on All-Star Selection </p><p>1:15:29 The Fever & Mercury| I will rarely have things to say about them </p><p>1:17:00 Liberty, Aces, & Officiating </p><p>1:24:11 Wings</p><p>1:27:49 New York Liberty </p><p>1:29:02 GS Valkyries | Flop City </p><p>1:32:55 Aces</p><p>1:35:15 Lynx | I’m not personally concerned </p>

Marina Mabrey Changed the Conversation | WNBA Week in Review
<p>This week, we're breaking down another crazy week in the WNBA. We have to talk about Marina Mabrey's historic 53-point performance, the Mystics continuing to impress, the Liberty looking a little confusing, and why I'm getting more concerned about teams like the Sparks and the Fire.I also share my thoughts on the discourse surrounding "The Play," because there's a difference between holding players accountable and turning every conversation into a witch hunt. As always, I'm giving my honest reactions to the biggest games, coaching decisions, standout performances, and the storylines that stood out to me this week.</p><p>-</p><p>Follow me on social media:</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5">https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5</a></p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAwezxzoeR/?igsh=MW1tMHJ1dnR1a2p3aQ==">https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAwezxzoeR/?igsh=MW1tMHJ1dnR1a2p3aQ==</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8G8QxmR/">https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8G8QxmR/</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://www.portlandmercury.com/the-portland-fire/the-portland-fire-wants-to-annoy-the-rest-of-the-wnba/">www.portlandmercury.com/the-portland-fire/the-portland-fire-wants-to-annoy-the-rest-of-the-wnba/</a></p><p>-</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:17 Housekeeping | Thank you for 1K subscribers </p><p>04:37 Tori’s Player of the Week | Marina Mabrey</p><p>06:13 Who Won the Week | Mystics </p><p>07:42 Notable League Moves & Injuries | McCown & Kelsey Plum</p><p>10:40 Discourse of the Week | The Play</p><p>15:38 Tempo vs Sun | Olivia Nelson Ododa MIP Case?</p><p>18:56 Mystics vs Liberty | A Vet PG?
