Hard to carve a symmetrical logo onto a pumpkin freehand but let's go boohalla

I’ve made repeated threats in this subreddit (and r/WNBA) to hold everyone accountable and it’s time for everyone to get in line and submit their apology forms here 👇👇👇👇👇

I will not stand for the offseason panic erasure

(guys btw this is a joke)
(ok maybe I am a little serious)

not hard to appear unwell after losing my voice at ballhalla last night! go valks!!!!

Hi Valks fans! I have gotten so much out of being a Valks fan these two seasons and wanted to give something back. I have printed out a bunch of these postcards that I designed (without AI), and will be sending out free postcards to the first 100 or so folks who request one.

Here's the link to request a postcard

No money required at all, but I am also including a link to donate to Trans Lifeline as well. Totally optional! Go Valks!!

Hope everyone is settling down from the high (and terror maybe?) of the last game.

I’m back again with post-mortem to evaluate Game 5 and discuss hope/concerns/thoughts for Game 6.

We’ll kick off revisiting some thoughts I shared on the Game 4 post mortem:

Matching Kiah’s minutes to Angel was also an extremely good change. Kiah (and everyone) needs to continue forcing Angel to her weak side. I doubt she continues to have as poor of a game, but I think shutting her down puts a clamp on ATL’s energy as a whole.

WE DID IT, JOE!!! Shout out Kiah for having a SICKO game with 3/4 three points made. True demon mode. Holding Angel to 1 point less than last game is crazy work.

Some other thoughts:

- Whelp, I’m now concerned the whistle will be in ATL’s favor with how Karl and Angel complained about officiating in the post game presser.

I know our girls are resilient and still won Game 4 despite the FT differential, but I can’t help but be nervous.

- We have to keep Angel in jail and make sure she can’t score. Rhyne’s getting on heater, which worries me, but ATL has been playing heavy minutes throughout the series so far.

- Ceci looks so good coming off the bench. I’m desperately wishing for us to have a good scoring night. Gabby’s shots look off but she’s so good on defense that she still contributes. I just really, really, really am hoping she can find her shot

When refs didn't call the foul, I was so annoyed because having seen the discourse from the Dream fans online after games 2 and 3, I knew they'd jump all over this.

I put on game 4 last night and watched when V got hit in the face by Angel. All the broadcasters said about it in the moment was "Burton slow to get up" no replays or discussions of why or what happened.

During the game I had to rewind the play just to see myself what happened, because they didn't do it for us. Of course, last night, we got to immediately see the review on Gray and hear the commentators saying that's a foul.

Keep it up, announcers, you aren't beating the bias allegations. I just want games called fairly. Burton's gotten beaten up all series and doesn't always get the calls.

Eye on the prize, for sure… if you can grab that championship in game 6 then you don’t mess around.

However…

The consolation prize would be Ballhalla on Halloween night.

A costume party in the most inclusive environment in the history of pro sports? Party of the decade.

My sister is currently a season ticket holder for the Valkyries, two seats in section 215. When we go to the games, I usually buy a single ticket and sit lower level preferably in 112 - 119, closest to West side main entrance.

Since I went to many games this season (myself and with friends), I told her that I would just split the cost for two seats but in lower level. She told me that she would keep me posted when it’s time to upgrade. She also mentioned you don’t get to pick and your rep is the one to tell you what is available.

How does this upgrade typically work? And what is ball park pricing for lower level seats? And what are the chances to get two seats in a good section in lower level? Preferably row 10 to 20. Doesn’t have to be club, but corners (112 or 119) would be nice….

Defense and clutch offense in Game 5, what may eventually be known as the “Kiah Stokes game.”

In every WNBA thread you'll see a dream fan post the screenshot of VB on Gray's face, and Angel getting chicken winged by gabby. Both missed calls. You'll also see Valks' fans point to the free throw discrepancy.

I saw a dream thread pointing out the difference of style will create a difference of free throw discrepancy, makes sense! a team that is reliant on the 3 ball is going to get less calls. So I did a quick dive in the numbers.

I'm not a data analyst, so I won't go into these numbers for you, but in my opinion both things are true. Golden state is getting away with calls, but ATL is also getting a more favorable whistle in the finals, compared to their regular season matchups.

I don't think officiating is why they're down this series, and while I agree that dangerous missed calls should have been called or looked at, I don't think it's a valid criticism for their fans to have of why they're losing.

Anyone else pissed by the discussion online lol? valks lost game 2 & 3 and the discussion was we were too small and lacking dawgs and whatever. the free throw disparity wasn’t in our favor either. i don’t think i saw a single valks fan chalk it up to the refs. we knew our offense was stagnant and had to do something about that and the turnovers. we adjusted accordingly, fast foward we’re now up in the series after having adjusted and still loosing the free throw battle and the noise is we’re being favored? how hard is it to give the team credit man?? lol now apparently all kiah’s blocks are fouls😂 burton is playing football and tip is a flopper😂 I know it’s sore loser talk but man the dream fans most specifically her* fans are being such losers about this series man. this wasn’t the same energy they were coming in with when they were up. Anyways unto game 6 now. I can already tell we will have no room for error esp with that presser from their coach and angel lol. Need to play well. Trust we’ve got this. GO VALKSSSSSS

Where can I get a pair like this? I tried Google and eBay but nothing came up. Thanks!

This finals series brought us pain, suffering and loss. But it's also brought us together--as family, friends, fans, and teammates. This bond that ties us together is something the Atlanta Dream will never understand. It's more powerful than any superstar, stronger than any shot. It can't be taken or destroyed.

The next few days will decide the fate of Golden State Valkyries. Every mother/father, every son/daughter, and every fan. They're trusting you, depending on you to win them their future—a future as WNBA Champions.

But take heart. Look around you. You're not in this fight alone against the Atlanta Dream. We face our enemy together, and together, we will defeat them."
