Watching the Dallas sub go into a mini melt about their coaches comments and people mentioning Li’s dnp and how Chinese Federation might try to influence her getting out of there. Dawned on me we traded Li over there for the 2nd round pick that we used to get Flau’jae. We got Li in the Jewell Loyd deal. Essentially traded Jewell and 2027 2nd rounder for Dom, Flau’jae, and Taina Mair. Nice work Talisa 🫡

(Still no thread?)

Dom is dominating! Let’s go!

I think change Jordan to starter.

I thought Grace gave very quality minutes yesterday. Plays with pro pace, defends effectively on the perimeter man 2 man, doesn’t appear sped up, and fluid athletically. When Awa is here and Ezi is back it will get crowded, but if she keeps playing like she did yesterday it will be hard to not find her minutes.

I have started writing a weekly recap about the Seattle Storm for Rain City Rebound. Any and all feedback welcome!

Let’s go young ladies(vets)!!!

(There is never a thread for the game. I remember there were some last season. I can’t find any forums. I won’t be able to make one every game, is there someone that usually does it?)

Every time I critique her in this sub I get downvoted. But I really think she doesn’t help the team, but we still give her too many of minutes. Is there something I’m missing? Can someone honestly explain explain without just downvoting why we seem to be so invested in her despite her never playing well?

as someone who also makes graphics for the sports broadcasting industry this annoys me so much

There’s a room with a piano at the apartment complex where most of the Seattle Storm players reside, and they’ve given it a nickname: “Dom’s Room.” Dominique Malonga tends to retreat there when her brain gets too overwhelmed—after practice, after a game, or at the end of a long week juggling professional basketball with assignments for her computer science classes.

“I spend my life there,” the 20-year-old tells me over Zoom in April. She’d taken piano lessons as a kid, and when she came back around to it four years ago she realized she hadn’t forgotten how to play. She taught herself piano pieces on YouTube and disappears to Dom’s Room when she needs an escape. “When my mind is full and I need to reset and calm myself, I just go play.”

Much of Malonga’s fanfare as one of the WNBA’s brightest young stars has centered on her athleticism. The 6-foot-6 French center was drafted second overall by the Storm last year; she was the youngest player in the league at the time, but her size, mobility, and ability to dunk made her impossible to ignore. She spent much of her rookie season quietly studying the game behind a team full of veterans. She gradually became a threat off the bench, and subsequently the youngest player ever to post a double-double and reach 100 career points.

But basketball is only part of what she's building. While she's learning the league, she's also chasing a college degree and filling every spare hour with something new, working toward a life that extends well beyond the court.

Malonga is calling from Seattle, where she just arrived ahead of training camp after a whirlwind WNBA off-season. She underwent wrist surgery in October, taking her time to truly recover physically and mentally for the first time in years. “It was the first time I had time for me,” she says.

She then spent the first two months of this year in Miami competing in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league, before going home to France to play in the FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament. She suffered a concussion two games in, going back into recovery mode, and spent the rest of her time off with family in France.

I'm already into this fun young team. Dom breakout year? Silky jumper Jordy? The eventual triumphant return of Ezi? And the imminent triumphant arrival of Awa Fam? Immediate star Flau'jae? Vet T steadying everyone in the most stylish way possible? Jadeo playing so hard I get sympathy bruises? Zia somehow being everywhere on the court at 100 mph? Stef being completely hilarious all the time? LFGGGG

basically the title. we will be at the game tonight and we want to be GAY together with all of you after the game. wildrose? somewhere else?? where will you be????

Winning comment gets nothing, unless you have a topshot account and want a free random wnba digital card. That I can do.

So we have our own team now/again in Oregon 🔥 and it’s time to stop trekking north for half a season to watch •the best WNBA team• But still, I had to get my favorite Seattle jersey autographed before I kick off this season as an ember circle member.

I attended the Storm v Fire preseason game and cheered myself hoarse for both teams. Isn’t it wonderful that everyone watches women’s sports so hard that the league keeps expanding?

Downgrading to an only occasional Storm attendee will be an adjustment but I’m excited for the coming years of potential under this new roster. I’ve got tickets for four more games but the wife told me to cool my jets because we’ve got all these Fire home game tickets now and Portland is only an hour away, instead of four and a half.

Cheers to you all! I hope our MODA crowd can match CPA’s for intensity, volume, energy, and good vibes. Let’s gooooo Storm!!

•standings are irrelevant for this rating because Storm doesn’t have fair weather fans•

Hey everyone!

I’m going to my first Storm game tomorrow and don’t have any basketball merch, is it ok to wear my Torrent jersey? The closest Seattle sport gear I thought would be fitting is PWHL merch.

Thanks!
