Kevin Danna, the voice of the Valkyries, joins the show to break down how a first-year expansion roster turned into one of the best teams in the league. Danna makes the case that head coach Natalie Nakase deserves serious Coach of the Year consideration, even with a Minnesota Lynx team playing without Napheesa Collier still in the mix. The crew also dives into how the Valkyries actually stack up against the true top tier — the Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces — and whether this roster is ready to compete for a championship in just its second season. Then things get spicy: Kaitlyn Chen quietly put up one of the most absurd stat lines in WNBA history, and the guys debate whether the Caitlin Clark media conversation has gotten out of hand, with stars across the league getting overlooked in the process. Topics discussed include: The Valkyries' historic 5-0 road trip and 8-game win streak Natalie Nakase's case for Coach of the Year How Golden State compares to Minnesota and Las Vegas Kaitlyn Chen's record-breaking scoring stretch off the bench The ongoing Caitlin Clark officiating and media attention debate What a realistic playoff ceiling looks like for the Valkyries this year Do you think the Valkyries are legit championship contenders, or is this streak about to hit a wall?
