Which Hell Hounds filter goes hardest?

feels like someone in the portland fire pin design department was having a little fun with this one

We've got our I-5 rivalry back! What a fun win. It was loud in the fire pit!

WNBA Portland Fire is on 🔥🔥🔥 #wnba #portlandfire #rosecity #portland

Just to counter some SEA fans talking about missed calls on their end. Frieda Buhner had her arm near chopped in half on a lay up attempt that wasn’t called and Megan Gustafson wore a lot of body contact under the basket. Otherwise, I thought it was well officiated and consistently called game #WNBA

The rebounding started to show its ugly mug again as POR were so successful keeping SEA guards out of the lane in the last qtr but the rotations would end with them really shallow and under the hoop. Credit to them, they didn’t look like a team with rebounding issues tonight #WNBA

I believe the fragrant was the right call especially since it was a two action foul beginning with a shirt grab and then a throat punch

Seattle with the "Extend the game? Why would we want to do that?" approach to the final seconds of a close game. #WNBA

Seattle doesn't have a clear clutch identity yet. Awa & Dom have had the ball in the post w/opportunities to draw a key 6th foul on Engstler, but they passed out. They go down with a whimper in the last 5 minutes. It looks like they know they should have won this one. #WNBA

Woo!!! Even with a new team it's always the best to beat Seattle! Go, Fire!!! #PDXFire🔥🌹 #WNBA

Steve why did Seattle let the clock drain while down two possessions and only a 7 second shot clock-game clock difference? I was going insane yelling for a foul

FINAL: The Portland Fire go on a 10-0 run to end the game and defeat the Seattle Storm 94-89. Seattle was held scoreless over the final 2:39. Dominique Malonga scored a career-high 28 points and 11 rebounds. Awa Fam tied a career-high 18 points. Bridget Carleton 24 pts & Carla Leite 20 pts. #WNBA

Carla Leite's 20 pts and 10 asts line tonight makes her the youngest player in WNBA history to get that stat line

2-2 in games we've attended! #fire

This game helped nobody in either camp of who should be Portland’s allstar. It’s impossible to split Carla Leite & Bridget Carleton right now #WNBA

Gustafson’s defence and boxing out in the last quarter was spectacular. She wasn’t having any of that “ah well, Seattle kids are good” bs #WNBA

FIRE WIN!!!

Didn’t see this live, but Jade do you *really* need to help Dom w the double on an Engstler drive? Especially at that angle? #wnba

I love the @portlandfire.bsky.social so much!

RIVALRY IS BACK ON, SEATTLE. DID YOU NOT KNOW? HAVE YOU *FORGOT*?

Shout out to the “Sea coffee is mid” sign lady #WNBA

The bench unit really amped up the blitz and the good timing on rotations and have got POR back into this. This isn’t a match up that Pancake’s Mum can get going in and the Serah Williams minutes have been really impressive #WNBA

Carla Leite is nine inches taller than she gives off.

Leite has been extremely impressive & executing through contact & making the right read on passes & those passes are hitting the shooters pocket. SEA really need to get the ball out of her hands. Game is on a knife’s edge and both teams should be looking for any small advantage they can find #WNBA

Serah Williams has seen all of Geiselsoders minutes in this game and it’s been the right call, but there isn’t anybody who can stop Dom Malonga who is showing off tbh. Her first step, her crossover, it’s unlike anyone else at her size in this league. Game is being played at a high standard! #WNBA

As the POR transition opportunities dried up SEA’s size started to take control. Our rebounding effort has been dialled up. Quality ball game so far #WNBA

I was worried about SEA’s front court size but they have zero size in the back court. POR haven’t had a shot contested on the perimeter yet #WNBA

I expect POR to play hard tonight. There will be some wounds they need to lick after MIN and some doubts they need to rectify. Saying that I think SEA have too much transition speed, frontcourt size and general talent and they’ll win #WNBA

Alex Sarama says he expects Karlie Samuelson to be good to go tonight. She missed the game in Minnesota on Monday with an adductor injury.

News: The WNBA season will expand to 50 regular season games beginning in 2027, the league has announced. This footprint expansion was allowed under the new CBA, which also stipulates the season can end no later than November 21 (Nov. 30 in 2028)

Does that mean you’ll play two teams 5 times?

Cleaning the Glass splits plays into half-court, transition and putback contexts. Those same easy-to-understand numbers haven't been publicly available in the same way for the WNBA. So, let's fix that. Introducing Cleaning the Glass-style contextual stats for the WNBA!

At the end of the day I think I’m overreacting to how good MIN are. Howard has been ripping down boards on everyone’s head. They overpass and find seams against everybody. Not sure Nia Coffey turns into Tim Duncan against everyone but good on her. They were incredible and POR weren’t that bad #WNBA

There was a lot of over thinking going on. Worrying about technique & then being reactive or gambling & at times it looks like bad effort & I know that’s unlike this group. They need a big personality to get their head in the game at times & really missed Karlie Samuelson #WNBA #PortlandFire

Geiselsoder often has her palms up when she’s going for a rebounding & she needs to create a wider target w/ her hands. She needs to strengthen her wrists as well. Her technique is really good for marking a football in Australian Rules but in youth basketball we are taught to spread fingers #WNBA

I loved to see Frieda & Nyadiew play 20 mins. Buhner has some sauce and she doesn’t lack for confidence and her footwork is advanced. There’s so much about Frieda I really like. I wish she had a quicker first step for a little extra pop but what a prospect #WNBA #PortlandFire

I’d need to rewatch it to confirm this but it felt like MIN didn’t switch during their defensive schemes and as a result Megan Gustafson was naturalised because she couldn’t attack mismatches. She also lacked a little bit of aggressiveness perhaps from missing some chances she usually makes #WNBA

Tonight was one of the first games that Barker looked weak. She usually has a match up where her strength is an advantage but tonight McBride, Miles & Williams made her look weak in the hips #WNBA

Sarama’s post game presser is a whole 35 seconds long so I’m not going to upload it. He mentions that we did react a step slower, moved away from some PnR fundamentals & couldn’t manage transition D #WNBA #PortlandFire

I would have preferred to see that garbage time team on court way earlier. We looked unprepared and mentally shook and our poor body language translated to poor play. Cheryl Reeve should be coaching in the MNBA on a big fat multi year contract #WNBA

I’ve been logged out and it says I’m not subscribed to league pass. Just to top off a blowout #WNBA

How many times have we over committed on defence and been torched as a result? #WNBA

I wonder if Angel Reese would even be a good rebounder in a Portland Fire uniform? More often than not we haven’t been doing the frontal box out, or any sort of box out. More often than not we don’t even jump for the ball. I’ve been disgusted with the effort on the rebounds tonight #WNBA

I thought McCowan pulled Williams down onto her but no doubt this will be a flagrant 2 on somebody sitting on the bench at this rate #WNBA

Little run here by the Fire which is nice to see. Lets try to get this game somewhat respectable at least! #wnba
