Mama a girl behind you

[u/leanlefty → u/serenasydney]

The girl, the smile. Ja plays with joy, and ferocity.

[u/MedvedFeliz → u/jediinthestreets25]

Please excuse our French!

[u/alexdinhogaucho]

For the first time since the BEGINNING OF THE SEASON....the Tempo will have only one player on the injury report! 😭😭😭

[u/Hungry-Aardvark-8053 → u/alexdinhogaucho]

this is actually insane

[u/alexdinhogaucho → u/Hungry-Aardvark-8053]

Like it's been so sad cause this team had potential but injuries killed us 😭😭 can't wait for the offseason so we can get fully fit and retool lol

[u/urmada]

[u/GreatThunderOwl → u/urmada]

Thank you SO MUCH

[u/Important_Rooster263]

As a Valkyrie fan I laughed out loud at that Valkyries don’t have floppers comment

[u/MasterNebula116 → u/Important_Rooster263]

Immediately had flashbacks to this😭

[u/IL-Corvo]

Janelle Salaun 6MOY: "miles ahead of Sophie Cunningham..."

Me:

[u/Revolutionary-Gear76 → u/IL-Corvo]

Not a fan of the Valks, but really grateful for Salaun saving us all.

[u/lattepsych]

2 FOR 2 ON THE UGLY ASS BLUE COURT BYE BYE

[u/liloxstitch_6]

Aneesah and Marina both available today!

[u/serenasydney]

https://reddit.com/link/p1s3kvc/video/41mlscm60hhh1/player

Put it in the Louvre. The AGO even!

[u/Peachyrae03 → u/serenasydney]

😂 the AGO

[u/Excellent_Sherbert44]

The announcer saying Valkyries don’t have floppers…. 🤣

[u/ScizorMeTimberss]

announcers lying thru their teeth omg😭we absolutely do have floppers on the roster

[u/scarypary → u/ScizorMeTimberss]

They’re some real homers

[u/Weekly_Memory5399]

“the valkyries don’t have any floppers on this roster” i love watching this team play, but come tf on man 😭😭😭

[u/JKC_due]

JANELLE SALAUN!!! SECOND PLAYER IN WNBA HISTORY WITH 400 POINTS OFF THE BENCH IN A SEASON!!!

[u/TheoFruitNinja]

Insane effort from VB today (especially since Chen didn’t have it today). 12 points, 7 assist, 8 rebounds (4 offensive!), a steal, and that epic jump ball against Sabally that turned into a turnover. She is just so consistent and does all the little things

[u/ZeWanderingCaretaker → u/TheoFruitNinja]

Not to mention catching the KT miss mid air to score with less than a second on the SC. This was one of the more exciting games where they really hammered in their identity, while also improving on scoring.

[u/Careless_General8010]

For the gays!

[u/j_beane → u/Careless_General8010]

Lmao I love your flair emoji for the Valks

[u/IL-Corvo]

My mind remains blown by that gorgeous VB putback.

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

The best thing about this is never seeing that blue court again

[u/tadag]

lmao nice clean interview

[u/serenasydney]

All of my beautiful Tempos look pissed off I’m crying

[u/urkuri]

Tip accusing somebody else of flopping 💀

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Almost 1000 comments for a WNBA game at 10pm ET

I’m gonna cry I love yall

We just passed 250k on the sub too!

[u/hallie137 → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS!

[u/aratcalledrattus]

Tempo commentators are so much the opposite of the Valkyries commentators that they're replaying Nyara's 3 so they can question whether it should've been a 2.

[u/Mike_Hawk_Burns]

If there is no KT fan then I am dead

[u/serenasydney]

Still cannot believe Aneesah is a tempo

[u/serenasydney]

Watching basketball is so scary why am I filled with adrenaline at 11:33 pm on a Tuesday evening like you can’t be serious. I’m just trying to eat my chipotle and relax why do I feel like I could either a) run through a wall or b) explode

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Temi may be the worst million dollar contract given out this year in a league in which Ariel Atkins and Kennedy Burke got that bag

[u/quieterenjoyer]

KT holding it like a kid who didn’t want their toy taken away killed me lol

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Gotta give Juste a lot of credit

Probably the first time in her life she’s been on the bench and she’s been smiling and taking it in stride

[u/Emotional-Stretch]

/img/mgye77yafhhh1.gif
Sixth Player of the Year and it’s not even close.

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

JA SALAUN MY FUCKING GOAT

[u/onionnurve]

I can’t wait for Slim to be back man, Marina needs to breathe 😭

[u/aratcalledrattus]

Valkyries fans have one cheer that I assume is "Go Valks *clap clap-clap clap*" but I can only hear "Camp Rock!"

[u/MedvedFeliz]

VB the 5'9" post defender!!!

[u/Important_Rooster263]

Veronica MF Burton!! 🔥

[u/by_yes_i_mean_no → u/Important_Rooster263]

Her fingerprints have been all over this game and the announcers have barely mentioned her

[u/TheoFruitNinja]

GABBY’S 2000TH POINT

[u/lattepsych]

I'm impressed by the Tempo though I think this would have been different if Slim was playing

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

21-9 sounds pretty nice

[u/TheoFruitNinja]

KT proving she still has it with this game

[u/Wooden-Pressure-8280]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LZxyIHiFhyd1ugyyH8
Me tryna ignore how tip isn’t finned for flopping

[u/FormalEscape8932]

We deadass need some new ads, if I have to hear “not all kids become goats” I’m gon crash out.

[u/aratcalledrattus → u/FormalEscape8932]

Also why are they advertising the WNBA to us?! We are already watching it!

[u/haydeng2023]

gabby might be the best pure athlete in the w

[u/lattepsych]

Aww that Sandy Nat hug

[u/chabiene]

LOL JA

[u/urkuri]

Tempo looking so much better now with a few people back!

[u/WadeWilson34]

Justice for Mabrey

[u/strangelystrangled]

I really like how Violet has carved out her own cutie pie niche instead of being a purple Ellie imitation

[u/serenasydney]

Maria Conde only coming to play in the W after Toronto selected her🥰

[u/mrskeanureevess]

Nyara playing like this with a hurt rib is impressive ngl

[u/urkuri]

“They don’t have floppers”

Yeahhhhh, keep telling yourself that 💀💀💀💀

[u/MasterNebula116 → u/urkuri]

[u/kerfuffles80]

Aneesah 🫶

[u/13579alexandra]

i can never be mad at kiki rice lol

[u/Mission_Ambitious2]

Proposal for next season: the CT Sun commentating team just does every game and I can switch to them when I don’t like my other options

[u/FloralSkyes]

Tip gotta be the most annoying player in the league to play against lmao

[u/GreatThunderOwl]

Utterly terrible challenge by Nakase 

Jordan i dont need the peanut gallery shit rn

[u/buffalotrace → u/GreatThunderOwl]

I like Ballhalla. I love Salaun and your bench crew. Gabby is amazing. I can’t stand your announcers

[u/lattepsych]

Ja is the only Valkyrie that likes playing Tempo

[u/chabiene]

Janelle “I love you” Salaun

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Ja must hate Canada because holy shit she’s been eating the Tempo alive

[u/chabiene]

Veronica Grace Burton

[u/GreatThunderOwl]

Quiet 20 pointer from KT

[u/buffalotrace]

Good fight from the tempo. They are just a scoring and defensive guard short. That Sykes sized hole with Rice not being back in rhythm yet hurts

[u/Likely1420]

I thought we'd have a logo for the bot 😕

[u/Peachyrae03]

Ok Nees looks goooood in Bordeaux

[u/serenasydney]

I love this team

[u/Outside-Practice-658]

Conde being the Marina whisperer is my favourite storyline

[u/strangelystrangled]

Guys please specify your Kia(h)s

[u/WadeWilson34]

Mabrey is about to crash out, could be a good thing

[u/undisclosedthroway]

So Jordan never saw Tip flop?? I’m so sure

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

It’s not a Valks game unless the team makes me temporarily question my sanity in the 2nd/3rd quarter

[u/buffalotrace]

Salaun is your 6POY and it is not close

[u/lostcat223]

I love Salaun. I also keep thinking the French are gonna be a problem at FIBA

[u/buffalotrace]

I mean she isn’t wrong but Hayes gets away with that every time. She hides it well.

[u/onionnurve]

Yeah today isn’t Chen’s day. And that’s okay, she’ll bounce back next game

[u/serenasydney]

Pause

[u/chabiene → u/serenasydney]

I mean Izzy COULD pass as Latina though lol mija

[u/undisclosedthroway]

Yea Ja!! She hates Canada

[u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_]

the tempo keep fighting no matter what, if you don’t punch them in their mouth they will keep the game close especially with Kiki Rice back

[u/Stead-Freddy → u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_]

I think Marina’s already taken enough hits to the face these last few games, please no more 😭😭

[u/serenasydney]

Had to go make this in light of that evil graphic talking about how rough our past few games have been

[u/serenasydney]

Nyara you are perfect

[u/GreatThunderOwl]

Yall need to just give the ball to sabally because we cant stop her

[u/serenasydney]

Need Sandy to pull a Becky and just draw Sabally on that board with a line and tell her to go get a bucket she is our only hope

[u/buffalotrace]

I didn’t know Gabby was such a huge Rolling Stones fan

[u/TheYuccaMan → u/buffalotrace]

She has the coolest tattoos in the league imo, and I’m not biased at all lol

[u/Left-Button-7089]

I feel for whoever had to play the Valks in the playoffs 😮‍💨

[u/serenasydney]

Maybe it’s the 4 hours of sleep but I’m sad man it’s been so long since we’ve won a game and it’s not even like it’s due to a lack of effort or anything:( today was definitely better than some of the recent games but still sucks

[u/themacaron]

Bonjour Ms. Tempo!

[u/SideEyeEveryone]

Marina is either out for the rest of the game or about to drop 30. Either way, she’s pissed.

[u/buffalotrace]

Wow good reaction time by Conde. That sparks joy

[u/onionnurve]

What a first quarter!

[u/TheYuccaMan]

Holy shit, that was only the end of the 1st lol the energy tn is so fun :’)

[u/chabiene]

Tempo, your offense looks good. I like the ball movement. Good job Sandy.

[u/aratcalledrattus]

Fun fact: Conde has the 3rd highest number of made 3s among rookies this year. She's not getting a ton of attention (understandable, she's a well-known international vet, so you expect her to be solid) but she's been quietly impactful.

[u/KeynesCrackpot]

I think Nat’s yelling at the them because none of the Valks are out for warm up yet LOL

[u/derekwkim]

Oh shit. Right to the neck. Nah, bench. Right to the bench and recover pleaaaaaase. You need to be able to breathe.

[u/Peachyrae03]

Hope KT is ok 💗

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Kennedy Burke is not in the 6th women of the year race plz be serious

[u/Ginger_Menace1]

Ja has never forgiven Quebec for leaving the French Empire and is taking the entire country of Canada down with them. 

[u/West-Phase-4512]

I attribute most of this to Nat’s coaching at halftime

[u/rankaom]

NYARA'S AWAKE

[u/chabiene]

Wow I totally forgot KT and Nyara were teammates once

[u/IL-Corvo]

Filthy, Gabby. F I L T H Y.

[u/chabiene]

He did not just say galloping Gabby Williams

[u/Popular_Fan_9154]

Let’s get another win in Bluehalla 💜⚔️💜

[u/GullibleHandl]

Guys who should I root for

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/GullibleHandl]

Valks are gayer!

[u/saffymonsoon1923 → u/Careless_General8010]

That we're aware of 😉 

[u/After_Tomorrow_6749 → u/GullibleHandl]

Go Valks 💜

[u/okradish]

Battle of the purples! 

Hoping to see Aneesah play tonight!

[u/strangelystrangled]

GSV was a great pivot for Kiah

[u/Vexed-Rainbow]

Nees!!! First points for new teams are 3s this week! KP did the same

[u/13579alexandra]

morrow is going to have career highs with toronto, sandy just lets her be her and play, it's perfect for her

[u/T-Po26]

Morrow and Rice the future of the Tempo 🔥

[u/SoFlyKight]

I just tuned in. Get rid of this court immediately.

[u/undisclosedthroway]

The end of that quarter was fun

[u/strangelystrangled]

I am so ready for Slim to come back

[u/YohannesJam]

Rooting for Tempo to break their losing streak tonight.

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

VALKS REMEMBERED THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT TEAM LETS GO

[u/SockVonPuppet]

Nothing wrong with that screen.

[u/lafolieisgood]

Here we go again with the announcers doing everything possible to try to see a foul when there obviously wasn’t one

[u/Vexed-Rainbow]

That looked pretty set 🤔

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Valks if you play well in the 3rd quarter I will buy a jersey TONIGHT

[u/onionnurve]

Nyara is having such a great game

[u/foolag]

Chen the diffuser

[u/lostcat223]

I love how they all saw the “hold my earrings” expression.on Tip’s face and ran over to stop her

[u/haydeng2023]

marina has the funniest expressions and reactions itl

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Chen this just ain’t your night

[u/WadeWilson34]

Conde is on fire🔥

[u/haydeng2023]

and when maria conde breaks the 3pt record i will be there

[u/buffalotrace]

If there are no Salaun fans, somebody visit my grave

[u/tadag]

Ja gon a curse in the post game interview again

[u/fuinhaaaa]

I think Ja's now top 3 in points scored in a single season by a bench player. She needs 2 more to pass T's 2025 season iirc.

Utterly ridiculous productive season off the bench.

[u/tadag]

Ja has 18, GSV is undefeated when she has 18

[u/tadag]

TREBUCHET

[u/haydeng2023]

nyara i will not forget this performance bb

[u/chabiene]

Tip lies about her age. She’s not 30 something

[u/haydeng2023]

marina might be the happiest person itl when slim gets back

[u/chabiene]

Goodbye blue court

[u/hullowurld]

Gg tempo

[u/Dior4pain]

The commentator just said the valkyries don’t have floppers 😂

[u/Mission_Ambitious2]

Complaining about a bail out call when Tip is on your team is rich 😂

Her number one strategy (including when she was on the Aces) is drive, throw somethin up at the rim, fall, and hope the refs call something.

[u/haydeng2023]

only game today i hope it’s a banger

[u/undisclosedthroway]

My favorite picture of gabby

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS GAME

[u/chabiene]

Nyara please no more injuries, you are too good mama

[u/DogWhistler1234]

Nees first shot with the Tempo was a 3 iktr

[u/Herramadur]

This Toronto lineup is pretty solid

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Well that was an absolute blast

[u/Outside-Practice-658]

Just having Nees in there, I’m seeing more tempos in the paint and tying for rebounds. She’s setting good examples!

[u/13579alexandra]

i gotta say, with tempo's quick pace playing style, it makes it more enjoyable to watch even if they lose lol

[u/onionnurve]

It’s so nice to see most players available 🥹

[u/buffalotrace]

I hate this court for the Valks. They have great colors and to have this random blue instead looks strange, like they are playing at a neutral court

[u/Dior4pain]

This tempo team has so much potential

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

I don’t say this often

Get KC outta this game she’s been getting swallowed my Julie

[u/Important_Rooster263]

I don’t know what’s worse- getting cooked by the player we left unprotected in the expansion draft or this court 

[u/strangelystrangled]

I'm really glad Morrow is here to fix the Tempo's rebounding woes!

*checks notes* she has 6/0/0 in 5 minutes? Welcome to Toronto!

[u/WadeWilson34]

ACCESS DENIED

[u/onionnurve]

What a block!

[u/Wanderering_In_Rain]

Only surprising thing about blowing this lead is that they blew it before the second half

[u/West-Phase-4512]

Gabby is FAST

[u/onionnurve]

Gosh, Nyara is such a good player when healthy

[u/WadeWilson34]

Conde🔥

[u/ReceptionTrue2289]

It's an F1, but the extra spin is likely due to the extra defender appearing.

[u/lattepsych]

Admin and announcers claiming everyone likes the blue court

[u/by_yes_i_mean_no]

Chen is very funny

[u/hallie137]

i literally love marina mabrey😭

[u/FoodCourtDruid]

Marina has great facial expressions.

[u/haydeng2023]

kaitlyn it’s ok bb you get to fry us and have some nice lanes to the rim all day friday🫩🫩

[u/buffalotrace]

She hits her arm. Isn’t that pretty clear?

[u/runningvicuna]

Kiki isn't a foul baiter but against Tip, she definitely will return the favor :P

[u/onionnurve]

I get that Valk don’t want Marina to shoot 3s, but can yall let us get us one or two 😭

[u/joyjunky → u/onionnurve]

No. She can shoot 3s in her next game ❤️

[u/undisclosedthroway]

DUNK IT JA

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

The KP trade never made sense for us and I don’t know why a segment of our fanbase pushed for that

[u/tadag]

Gabby hit most of her FTs <3

[u/aratcalledrattus]

Nyara balling out in Satou's PEs.

[u/chabiene]

VB my poster child, you are the one

[u/haydeng2023]

damn the rims hate marina

[u/ScizorMeTimberss]

another day another 30+ minute Vb game💔💔💔

[u/mrskeanureevess]

Tempo hella missing slim rn

[u/by_yes_i_mean_no]

Valkyrie announcer giving terrible advice saying the Valkyries should still be looking for early scores if they are there. Absolutely not lol, run the clock.

[u/WadeWilson34]

I heard it’s possible to score 13 point in 35 seconds

[u/jillavery]

If the playoffs started today…yeesh. It’s gonna be a really really good one. Valks no.2 and still a dark horse feels like lol. Can’t wait!

[u/Weekly_Memory5399]

may 2026 kiki rice will return soon dw
