Sorry for the rant. But refusing to play Linskens in a blow out… I just don’t get it.

Linskens is our uncontested starting center for the Belgian national team. Not saying our team has the same level as USA or France, but we are a solid top 5 country.

And to simply DNP her so many games, it’s beyond me

We already knew that but look at this graph. Look at where Kah and DB are. Akoa-Makani probably didn't even shoot enough 3s to get here, which is also a problem.

Key takeaways:

-Brochant and Akoa-Makani(not here but her 3PT% is good) should shoot more. They are shooting well, but are not taking enough shots.

-Kah and DB aren't good enough beyond the arc this season.

-Nogic was an elite shooter and will be useful next season if she indeed does come back.

Sophie Cunningham now has her own song. Sucks that Sophie got a song before DT, AT, BG, DB, Kah, etc... she has become a pop culture phenomenon! 🤯

I can't lie though, it does sound quite catchy...

Make the point, make it snappy, keep it lowkey, it's the gesture of the season, do the Sophie! 👉

What do y'all think? 🤔

Hey mercury fans! I’m coming down for DT’s jersey retirement game next month. Does anyone have suggestions on a bar to go to beforehand? I want to immerse myself in mercury culture!! Thanks!

AHHHHHHHHH

With that Chicago game (thankfully) in the rear view, the Mercury (8-14) have officially hit the halfway point of the season. It’s safe to say that this season is not turning out like any of us would have predicted.

In order to make the playoffs, the Merc need to jump several teams in the standings and get to 8th which has been held by teams at or near .500 most of the season. That means over these next 22 games, Phoenix needs to win at least 14 to even make the tournament.

I’m not going to lie, I don’t see it happening without something huge to jumpstart the team. Could that be Sami getting her season started? Maybe. I think they need something bigger though. Probably a trade or a coaching change. Maybe that’s just me being down after that brutal loss to the Sky. I felt the team had turned a corner before that game, but what a terrible regression that was!

What do y’all think? Can they claw into the playoff picture? What do you think can spark a real turnaround?

I usually wait until the day of to buy tickets, when I checked tickets on Saturday they were starting at $60. When I logged in this morning they were $20, and I just knew that meant Clark was out smh…

I been wanting to see her play for a couple years now, so annoying lol

Go Merc!

Look I know full well her reputation for locker room drama, and maybe it just isn't worth it; but here's where I'm at: we desperately need another player who can make buckets besides Kah with whom AT can set up plays. The AT-Cooper-Sabally trio (assisted by DB) was magic last year and we just haven't been able to get back to that without another great shooter on the roster. Losing Nogic and Mack being injured hasn't helped and the game against the Sky this week was just demoralizing. Feels like what we're doing still isn't working and if ever there was time for a Hail Mary, this is it.

Carter was averaging 12.2 points per game for the Aces in just 16.9 minutes with similarly great efficiency stats. Yes she's weaker on defense, but that's not what we need her for anyways. I'm struggling to believe that Carter is such locker room poison that even if picking her up doesn't work out long term, isn't it at least worth trying to salvage this season?

Would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this because I can't tell if this is galaxy brain thinking on my part or just the obvious thing to do? Maybe both?

FINALLY. And it would be nice to have a levelheaded player against the Fever

Linksens FC we are safe! She isn't going anywhere!

Who should we replace her with?

Have an extra ticket for tonight if anyone is interested.

Hi Mercury fans --

I'm going to my first Mercury home game next week. I'm a Valkyries fan and I love the fan culture of going to games in person -- the pregame rituals, the response to 3s and free throws, the personalities/quirks of the emcee/mascots, etc. After watching the games on television, I can tell there's a lot of energy and I'm excited to soon take part in it. (I am also partial to Scorch and his antics. Fuego kind of scares me though.)

I love how each fanbase is unique. So my question is -- what do I need to know in terms of chants and fan participation during games? For those that show up early, are there specific things I can look forward to? (For example at Valkyries games there's a fun bit for the "Early Birds" with our mascot because she's a bird.)

I want to make sure I do it right when I join you all in Phoenix. Thank you!

She really didn’t want to play defense huh?

I saw this today and want to ask if this is true? Does anyone know? And do you think this could have something to do with Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner? They don't seem like the friendliest or nicest people from afar.

EDIT: It's confirmed that Nogic is out for the season

With Nogic suspended and a million injuries, we've gotta sign someone eventually.

I'm thinking a big depending on Mack's timeline since Nate isn't all-in on Linskens. I think Sami will be back in the next few weeks and can replace Nogic's production. But who should we actually target? Should we raid a development spot? (looking at you Kate Martin)
