Episode Notes
Seerat is joined by Lucas Kaplan to break down the WNBA opening weekend, using a game of Red, Yellow, Green Flag to separate real concerns from early overreactions. They discuss the Sparks’ shaky start, the Aces’ intriguing new pieces (like Chennedy Carter), and what’s real (and not) with Caitlin Clark and the Fever. They also highlight Dallas’s exciting offense, the Liberty’s strong start despite their injuries, and how physicality and officiating could shape the season.
