Dallas Wings at Indiana Fever, WNBA season action

sportsMay 9, 202629653

Paige Bueckers hit multiple early three-pointers as the Dallas Wings opened their matchup against the Indiana Fever, giving Dallas an early lead. Dallas started a lineup featuring Bueckers and Jessica Shepard, with Shepard sliding into offensive actions and helping generate high-quality looks. Indiana fielded Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, but Boston’s touches were limited early while Mitchell carried much of Indiana’s scoring load. Early officiating enforced the league’s current guidance and influenced possession flow, a mix of lineup usage and whistles that could shape both teams’ early-season momentum.

It’s so cool how far the league has come in just 30 years and it still has a lot more growing to do. I remember seeing the Liberty that first year to not exactly sellout crowds. They’ve since doubled the avg. attendance with a much bigger schedule. Looking forward to a new season!

And when Rebecca Lobo says the rules haven't changed, the rules *literally* haven't changed 👇. This is all illustrating what I said several times last year - officials will largely call what they're told to call. It's about instructions/guidance from above, more than the people with whistles. #WNBA

People were waiting to see that Clark player hit a 3 and she just did. Good job, Alysha. #WNBA

Kelsey Mitchell, naturally, showing us who the real face of Indiana should be. But let me mind my teams lol. #WNBA

(this statement has nothing to do with Aliyah Boston)

Grant Lorrell3

Yeah #that crowd melts down over it but she's clearly the anchor of that team. Hell, Steph White basically admitted as much when she more or less said in an interview that Mitchell is the one player on the squad who can fully create her own shot.

You gonna get folks mad at you.

Listening to Ryan and Lobo, it's only one person playing for Fever 🙄.

Shintaro Melodrama2

Ha, I'm a Boston STAN, so I'm always gonna go with her, but it can't be denied how Mitchell balling the fuck out last year is what made Indy so dangerous.

In Part 2 of the Seattle Storm's 91-80 loss to the Valkyries, I wrote about how the Storm's first game played out as expected, how Seattle is still missing pieces, and asked if the Golden State Valkyries are going to ruin the #WNBA. www.stormchasersbasketball.com/p/storm-fall...

@shhimhiding.bsky.social

It is criminal that the fever have a talent like Aliyah Boston and utilize her so poorly #wnba

Happy return of the WNBA day. Won’t care a whole lot until Detroit’s team returns, but good luck to your respective fave teams. I hope they all win the championship! The best opinion I can offer is that Paige Bueckers had my fave Met Gala outfit.
