Veronica Burton's message to Valkyries fans as the franchise attempts to clinch its first title on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. PT:
(via @AnnieCostabile)
Composure while you can’t even breathe without being called for bullshit 😭. We absolutely need to hit shots but I’m not trying to hear nothing about poise
We’ll get you next time is NUTS
#Dream Angel Reese on finishing with eight shot attempts and how the Valkyries’ defense affected her opportunities, and how much did foul trouble disrupt her offensive rhythm:
"Honestly, I think for me, like, I'm still trying to figure out how to play through the physicality. I mean, a lot of us are getting fouled, and they're not calling it, or we're talking to the [referee] after, and they're saying, "Oh, we'll get you next time." So, it is a little frustrating, especially in the moment of it. I mean, I'm kind of used to it because this was happening throughout the [WNBA] season. So, I have to just continue to play through it. But honestly, for my teammates, when they're getting slapped to the ground or goggles knocked off, like it is frustrating and trying to keep them in and keep them confident. But yeah, we'll figure it out. We're gonna have to just continue to push through the physicality, and hopefully, it goes our way next game."

Nakase full of shit just like the rest of that team cause suddenly Gabby doesn’t have knee problems anymore now that they’re winning again
And he’s right. We should have made shots but getting pushed in the back and neck is DANGEROUS. We need to look ourselves in the mirror but call shit both ways
Karl Smesko with a bit of a rant on foul calls, defending Angel Reese:
“They're known for their defense, and they've been playing great defense throughout the series, but, I mean, I do want to have Angel’s back here.
The contact they allow on Angel compared to everybody else is just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous.
And we should have gone to the foul line six more times just on that. And then, to miss double dribbles and travels, multiple that always led to points.
I mean, you can't you can't be at this level and make that many mistakes. So, you know, there's things that are on us. Like, we're missing shots we should make.
But at the same time, that needs to be a whole lot better than it was.And it's time that, if you push somebody with two hands as they drive, it's got to be a foul.
And I'm kind of tired of some of the excuses that I'm hearing.”

This one of the worst officiated games I ever seen in my life.. Naz get hands on a defender, Nakase yells, ref blows the whistle.
But Burton and Charles have been allowed to maul on the perimeter all night
