I already took the money out. I already took the money out. Sorry, DraftKings, you're not getting a cent re-put into your betting account. Because I know that I will use it and I will lose it. And that's just what they want me to do. So no, I already deposited that back in, that baby in. I think what's fascinating to me is how... They really were done. You know what I mean?
They really were not the same team. They move on from Kelsey Plum. They bring in Jewel Lloyd. And I actually, to start the year, thought that could be an upgrade just based on what we know Jewel Lloyd has done in Seattle. And then it felt like Jewel maybe just needed to get her swagger back or maybe her age was starting to catch up to her.

Chapter 3: What are the early predictions for the NBA Championship?
She chooses asks to come off the bench and then like things sort of change. But Asia was primarily the only one that was doing anything offensively other than Jackie Young. It was just those two. And outside of that, it was just very anemic. But they trade for Nelissa Smith, which I think made a lot of help for Asia.
And then getting slapped into the mouth by the Lynx, I think, really woke them up. But I don't want to act like we were all wrong to be concerned about a team that was 7th. And just teetering on the edge of missing the playoffs altogether. What we've seen is probably, Juju, one of the greatest turnarounds in basketball history.
And like a dynasty, a team that's won multiple championships, they can always do that. That's what the Warriors did, right? Like they were done, they made some tweaks, they get Jordan Poole, which I guess is like, different than Jewel Lloyd, but kind of, you know what I mean? Like another bucket getter. And then the chips go right for them, and they win again.
But I'm not necessarily going to say, like, because the Aces, I don't know if you saw this, they took a bunch of good follow clips from Roz and a bunch of other podcasts that called them done. Damn. Yeah, to keep the receipts.
And I'm sorry, the Aces, your time is over.
You're a team that can beat the bad teams, but can't beat the good teams. Maybe you're just not a good team. What are the Aces right now?
I think what you just said, not a good team.
Roz, is the Aces dynasty over? Honestly, probably yes. Young stops. Puts. Hits. Puts the foul.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Devin Carter's hair?
Jackie Young takeover. But Gray underneath gets it to go in a foul. Gray, what a dish. Ten assists now for Gray. I see them being at the middle of the pack at best. The Las Vegas Aces may end up in a situation where they may have to consider trading AJ Wilson.
Wilson, the thing You bet! You bet! Wilson fading and hitting.
Chapter 5: Why is betting on preseason NBA games controversial?
But they were done. They were done.
Bruh, they need to take some clips from the alley-oop. I believed in them the whole time. They asked me mid-season. I was like, bruh, they going to get it together? Ask Miss Rebecca. I know she's lost this record. Matter of fact, never mind. They don't have the records. Miss Rebecca, I love you.
I'm right here. Mama's got you. Yes, I can validate that.
Why didn't you send our clips to the Aces?
via snail mail? How would I do that? I don't think she knew that they even said that. And like, if you're gonna do it, I said that y'all were done on the letter shoot and probably also on the alley-oop. But like, you were. If that 53%
Every 53-point win doesn't happen from the Lynx, and you don't have Asia Wilson talking smack to the team, being like, yo, if you're not ready to come and compete, then you need to leave. Becky Hammond looked like she was about to have a coronary all season long. I just think it's wrong to be like, see? See? We had it this whole time. Y'all just didn't recognize. But they're tremendous.
Jackie Young and Asia Wilson, as a duo, need to stick together forever.
Yeah, when you win the championship, though, you can celebrate how you want to celebrate. Yeah, you can. You want to make a video? Make a video. Speaking of videos, Kathy, Miss Kathy got up there and presented the trophy to the aces after the game. Miss Rebecca, if you have this video, this is the loudest boo I have ever heard in recent history. Take it away, Miss Rebecca. Davis.
And to present the trophy... For YouTube TV, here is WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbart. Boo!

Chapter 6: How do the Aces compare to other teams in the league?
Thank you, Holly.
Well, we're here today to celebrate a champion. Look. Thank you to all the fans. Phoenix had a great run to get here.
And this is a polite one.
And I just want to congratulate the Aces on a performance. 2025 WNBA champion. Ooh. Sheesh.
And the video from inside the arena was even worse, bro. You couldn't even hear her microphone no more. I'm talking about the loudest boo. I think sis might need to go ahead and tender her resignation just to help herself out. What you think?
I think the other boos that are, like, I guess rival is the boo that we all kind of have tongue-in-cheek where it's Roger Goodell at the draft. But, like, that's a shtick. This was a legit, impromptu, F-you boo.
Right.
And then they asked Asia and the rest of the aces, like, hey, what'd you think about your commissioner getting booed? And they were laughing. They were giggling at her. There's no love lost. It's one thing when the fans don't like you. It's another thing when you're getting bullied by the fans and the rest of your colleagues that you are in business with are like, yeah, you see her get booed?
Oh, man, damn, that was a cold piece right there, but she deserves it.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of a potential WNBA lockout?
Hey, bro, just happy to have you back for the 2026 season. I'm about to leave Corso is behind. Not so fast, my friend.
Yeah, what, dog? I'm not paying you until I know we have a season.
Exactly. What are we doing?
That's crazy to me, Juju. And more people need to know that they're asking for season ticket money right as the season ends for the next season.
in terrible fashion, too, against the fever. I'm not going to bring it back up because it's painful. But, yeah, bro, get it together, man. At least have a season on the docket before you start taxing my pockets.
Listen, Gigi, do you want to post up? I think what we should do is we should plan a couple of weeks. We post up at the Meadowlark Hotel and we get season unrivaled tickets. Those are the tickets I'm ready. Those are the tickets I'm ready to see. They'll put us up in sweet fashion for no money. We'll hang out. We'll do DLS. We'll be the unrivaled correspondents. What do you think about that?
I'm locked in. I like it. I like it.
Because we know that season is going to happen.
Oh, yeah, that thing going to happen no matter what. It's already going to happen the year after that and the year after that. They're getting money over there in the MIA, yo. But moving on real quick because WNBA season is over now, and we got the NBA season coming around that mountain when she comes. So I'm going to ask you a way too early question right now.

Chapter 8: How are the Denver Nuggets shaping up for the upcoming season?
But I guess the Denver Nuggets as well. Because I'm looking at Joker. I'm looking at how he almost got that team. Michael Porter Jr. and that weak-ass shoulder. That team. Russell Westbrook shooting on and off. He might hit you five in a row. He might hit you zero out of ten. That team almost went to the finals last year.
So you take those things away, as well as the coaching confusion and all that noise that was surrounding them, I think they are poised to, dare I say, especially with my Celtics out this year for sure. I'm going with the Nuggets.
Yeah, I like that. And then real quick, not to pile on too much, but listen, you still have players that stepped up for the Nuggets that are only getting a year older that Michael Malone didn't want to play that much. So you talk about the Julian Strollers of the world, and he had an awesome game.
So there's just... Impeccable Jerry Curldrip. Impeccable.
He does. He does. And so there's a lot of young players as you look at them. Christian Brown, I didn't mention, right? You also have Peyton Watson right there. So you've got like now a team that was really not deep at all and a team that is super deep, like 9, 10, 11 deep. And that's how you compete with the Thunder is when Shea's off the floor and they're having other guys play.
You've got dudes that can give you buckets like Tim Hardaway. So I think it's going to be them. I really do.
yeah speaking of buckets our bucket getter our main bucket getter over here is miss rebecca donahue dr rebecca donahue and we like to toss it to her for a segment called boy stop first off miss rebecca how you feeling today sis i'm doing all right you too i'm doing all right how are you doing i'm doing pretty good how was your weekend
It's okay. Where are we going with this? Where are we going?
He's stalling for you.
