[SPEAKER_03]: you are listening to the fever report with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin, and it's only on the Central Indian Sports Report.
0:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome fever fans to the Central Indian Sports Report for a special edition of the fever report with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin here to preview the 2026 season and
0:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know that I'm that confident.
0:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that we're going to be in the top I'll say at this point top four is where I feel comfortable I'm definitely comfortable at top three, but I think they're going to be the best team I think they have potential to be the best team.
0:51
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we've got to avoid injuries just like any any team.
0:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean to get a championship you really have to have things fall your way right so
1:01
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go with top three or top four.
1:04
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just really looking, I'm ready for the season to start.
1:06
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the point I'm ready for the, for the actual games to begin for all the nonsense, Jim jabbing on social media to stop the speculation to stop.
1:15
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm ready to set to have games and to watch games and cheer.
1:19
[SPEAKER_04]: For what I think is a likable roster, I'm going to just say that right now, I think we again, one thing I've liked about the fear for the last three years is they've put together a roster of players that I like and want to cheer for and want to see successful.
1:32
[SPEAKER_03]: That's for sure, especially when you compare them against all the other roster.
1:36
[SPEAKER_04]: It agreed.
1:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I really think we have a likable roster and that's why I like following this team and I'm super excited to just get the ball
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with you, John, when Greg, the fever definitely big time contenders for the WNBA Championship, especially if they stay healthy.
1:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I like their roster.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they've done a nice job of keeping the crucial core and then filling in the pieces
2:20
[SPEAKER_04]: How many hours with you?
2:20
[SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't it.
2:21
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we talked about this on the last fever report.
2:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I did not know how I felt about Raven Johnson, but I am already super excited about her.
2:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's going to be fantastic and I think she's also quite likable.
2:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's going to fit in with the culture of the team.
2:38
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's going to be a really good.
2:41
[SPEAKER_04]: on core asset, and I'm excited for that.
2:43
[SPEAKER_04]: So yes, keeping the core, we definitely kept a great core, and now adding those pieces.
2:50
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm really, I think it's going to be fun.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I was excited when the fever got raven Johnson, like I said, I thought there were two players out there that I thought would fit the fever just because
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Neither one is a big-time score, you know, they like the defensive end, they like doing giving up the ball, they like doing that things that make a team whole and great.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't need the spotlight.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And but Raven Johnson, I'll tell you what they're doing.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: She's even, I knew she could be a contributor but her defense at this level is even better than what I saw of her in college.
3:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, part of that's going to be because the players have to be paying, they have to be paying attention to a better roster.
3:42
[SPEAKER_04]: The South Carolina did have a good roster, but like when you got talent like we have, that it's I don't know, they just have to, the eyes have to be everywhere on the court.
3:50
[SPEAKER_04]: So She can kind of focus in probably a little better than she could in college as my guess.
3:56
[SPEAKER_04]: She's fun to watch.
3:57
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll tell you what, she's fun to watch on the court and she's fun to watch like all the, all the, all the pre.
4:01
[SPEAKER_04]: season social media stuff they've been doing has been hilarious.
4:04
[SPEAKER_04]: She is she is fun.
4:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Very likable.
4:08
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: She's been on with her teammates.
4:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm going to pick up a Johnson at least a player T shirt if not a jersey or a hoodie at the game on Saturday.
4:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I like or so much.
4:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow before her first game.
4:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm not willing to go for a jersey, but I'll probably go for a player T shirt because those are only like 25 bucks.
4:28
[SPEAKER_04]: So like if
4:29
[SPEAKER_04]: but doesn't work.
4:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Jersey, I'm a future.
4:31
[SPEAKER_04]: If she stays with the team, I think so, I just, she's funny.
4:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I like players with personality, and she's definitely a personality.
4:40
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, I wanted to touch on some the real fast that John said a minute ago, they kind of got glossed over.
4:46
[SPEAKER_03]: What a great job the front office did in the offseason, keep in the court together, and not only important to winning, but important to, I think the fans
5:01
[SPEAKER_03]: trying to win a championship with that group of players that we like so much.
5:05
[SPEAKER_04]: No, if you follow any of the fee for social media stuff, you've seen a lot of back and forth and I think some of it's just fatigue because people were ready for basketball, so they just were overreacting to all sorts of stuff like, and then you have the people that stir the drama and stuff just for clicks, so you gotta watch that.
5:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I just, I don't know.
5:25
[SPEAKER_04]: I, the front office is made, I'm happy with it.
5:27
[SPEAKER_04]: My trust him kind of like the paces front office, right?
5:29
[SPEAKER_04]: I always understand all the moves.
5:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't always get what they're doing because that's above my level of pay, but like, I absolutely trust them.
5:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I do too, and yeah, again, I like this roster and really they did what I, I wrote down, I typed it in on the notes part of my app when my phone another day.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: the 12 were that I thought the fever would definitely keep, and those are the 12 that they kept.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I knew Pesso was going to be on the development, she was going to be listed as the development player, which means she can play up into a play in up to 12 games.
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and they only kept her as the only development player, so,
6:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess there's always a chance that if they see somebody else out there, rookie or player under three years experience, they could always pick that player up, but I do like this roster.
6:33
[SPEAKER_04]: So, I'm looking at the odds for Saturday's game, it's Saturday at 1pm, I had to remind myself was 1pm because I had planned to go at 7 o'clock and it's a good thing I check the time because it is 1pm on Saturday.
6:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Fever are favored by seven and a half.
6:50
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's too many.
6:51
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the Dallas will be within seven and a half.
6:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's gonna be much closer game than that.
6:55
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you guys think?
6:56
[SPEAKER_04]: John the Fever win in this game by 27 point.
6:58
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the most insane thing I've heard you say.
7:01
[SPEAKER_04]: You said a lot of insane things on this podcast.
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: 27, 27 points.
7:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, do you wanna wager that or are you just wanting to say it?
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, great.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you wanna wager with the pro?
7:15
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to wage your 27 points?
7:18
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but I'll go 13 and a half.
7:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll go.
7:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And even money?
7:23
[SPEAKER_02]: $1.50, yeah.
7:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll do it.
7:25
[SPEAKER_04]: $1.50, even money.
7:27
[SPEAKER_04]: You're taking the fever minus 13 and a half.
7:30
[SPEAKER_04]: That's correct.
7:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll take the, I would take, yes, booked.
7:33
[SPEAKER_04]: We will book that.
7:33
[SPEAKER_04]: I will take Dallas plus 13 and a half.
7:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I usually do $1.25 so I'm really going out there.
7:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, there you go.
7:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we'll just keep a, we'll keep a ledger at all season long on ones where we disagree.
7:45
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to write that down.
7:47
[SPEAKER_04]: I have Dallas on the way to half.
7:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Check out our new podcast, Greg versus Will versus the world where we wait your points on what's going to happen in the future, including the fever.
8:00
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the questions last week was, who are the fever going to be in the WNBA championship?
8:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but that is that bet's gonna be null if they don't make it, right?
8:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Correct.
8:12
[SPEAKER_04]: But we're just assuming.
8:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, yeah, I think I think they got a really good shot, but like... That's my next question is, John.
8:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
8:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Who are the fever gonna be in the WMB championship?
8:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me the other teams that you expect to be the contenders with the fever.
8:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I would normally have said New York, and I think the New York is still a contender, but there's a question about Sabrina Yanescu already, which is a big piece to that offense.
8:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably the biggest piece.
8:46
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, at this point.
8:49
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know that I will end to say the biggest as much as I like Sabrina, like she's one of my favorite players in the league that's non-feever player, but I don't.
8:56
[SPEAKER_04]: When you've got Stewie and there's a couple players that I would say,
9:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, but I would say that I think with the injury to Sabrina, I would have to say Las Vegas is probably the number one likely to be in the finals with the fever.
9:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Michelle ESPN had their power rankings out today and the fever were forced.
9:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't believe it.
9:22
[SPEAKER_03]: They had the Las Vegas ace's number one in the New York Liberty number two, the Atlanta
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw a power rankings or, I don't, earlier, this week or maybe it was last week, I was before the final rounds of cuts.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the bases were ranked first, and I believe they're the defending champs, so they should start the season right number one.
9:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Unless they're serious turnover, the championship always be number one.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: My big thing is I just don't see the dream above the fever because I am sorry, wherever Angel Reese plays, there's always some kind of drama.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And okay, yeah, so one year she won a championship at LSU, but I just, it's a little different in college in the WNBA year
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: can just do detrimental things and, you know, I know that Rhys got along well with everybody on the women's feeble, U.S. women's feeble team, but you know, she can go on there and there's really no pressure on her, um, what?
10:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I just think I saw highlights of her in dream, as she, she's still more likely to break a shot inside five feet than she is to make it.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, now granted, she's highly likely to get at her own offensive rebound, but one brick lead to two bricks.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
11:06
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to come across as the stereotypical fever fan who just hates angeleries.
11:10
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I'm going to be.
11:11
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, you're good.
11:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying like far, I go, I know people that listen are going to say your fever fans you hate angeleries because she's ain't the ories.
11:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I love angeleries.
11:20
[SPEAKER_04]: The problem I think with Angel is I think you hit on one part is like they're definitely seems to be drama that follows her now, that's for sure.
11:28
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going to say here and say it's all because of her, but like you have somebody where drama is involved in their like what's the common denominator so far to an angel has been the common denominator.
11:37
[SPEAKER_04]: My biggest concern for her play style in year three in why I do think you make a valid point that it could hurt Atlanta who has a very solid roster.
11:46
[SPEAKER_04]: You look at
11:50
[SPEAKER_04]: is can Angel play team ball instead of trying to do everything that she's not even that good at.
11:57
[SPEAKER_04]: She's good at a few, she's a great rebounding.
11:59
[SPEAKER_04]: She's got some real talent in that and like we said, we'll be silly to deny, but she tries to force too much and she tries to make it make too many plays that she just can't make and it's predictable and she's getting blocked and you know a lot.
12:13
[SPEAKER_04]: if she can get away from that and learn to like collapse the defense and then pass out then yeah, or pass the ball out to someone else, then the dream may have like a really good year, but just can't angel play in a team first.
12:31
[SPEAKER_04]: situation.
12:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, how about this, John?
12:33
[SPEAKER_00]: People with interesting
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, drama, but fun with them attitude at times because you get ain't you brought Angel Reese to a team that already has Ryan Howard.
12:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, no, Ryan Howard's fantastic.
12:48
[SPEAKER_00]: She is, but she's also has sometimes.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a little chipy.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't do fiery mental.
12:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, she's a little chippy fair enough.
12:58
[SPEAKER_04]: She's also got other players on that team that are really good.
13:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Got Alicia Gray.
13:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Good.
13:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Brianna Jones is good.
13:06
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
13:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I do think the fever are better than the the dream.
13:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't get me wrong.
13:10
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think the dream need to be three in front of the fever.
13:13
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's kind of a wild card situation with how well does that team jail?
13:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Is the basically what the way I would say it.
13:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Chicago is not as a non-worry.
13:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Connecticut's a non-worry.
13:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Although Connecticut did pick up a illegal list today.
13:27
[SPEAKER_04]: So I was glad to see she got picked up by somebody.
13:29
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know that she got a fair shake in Chicago really.
13:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Alice, I think, is going to be strong.
13:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Golden State's going to be fine.
13:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think the link is gonna be that good.
13:39
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, two teams that we hate, the storm.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I hate the storm.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate the storm.
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate the storm.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: McKinsey, oh, I hate the storm.
13:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate, yeah.
13:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, let me say that again, two teams I hate, the storm, what are their expectations for them?
13:54
[SPEAKER_04]: And not good.
13:55
[SPEAKER_04]: And the mercury.
13:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Their middle of the pack, like, how many teams make the playoffs?
14:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Mercury will make the playoffs, probably.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you see you're not worried about the sky, but I will say this, I think, I think two teams that will be better than they were a year ago are the sky and the sparks, especially at the sparks can stay healthy, Cameron Brink can stay healthy and pick up because she's, it's not, it's not so much her often, she's just a good defense of player when she's healthy.
14:28
[SPEAKER_04]: I do think Cameron brings a good defense of player.
14:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean,
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: They did turn over their roster quite a bit, and Riggins is a bit, that will help them Mr. Lincoln.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You feel like she's at the tail end of her career?
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I think we're not.
14:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think she will, I think she will have one of her this could be a little bit of a run as on to your forehead just because she's playing so close to home.
15:00
[SPEAKER_04]: She played, didn't see play for Seattle, she was at South Bend, Washington.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: She won the state championship there in Indiana.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she played it in Notre Dame.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not very far from Chicago area.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she's very excited to be in Chicago because she spends a lot of time in South Bend in the off season.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: She loves home.
15:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Well.
15:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't see Chicago be in that much.
15:26
[SPEAKER_04]: I can be wrong.
15:27
[SPEAKER_04]: I actually think the team that's the most underrated for what I think they're going to do is the mystics I think the Washington mystics are going to have a better season than people are given the credit for.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I thought they had a pretty good season last year and I think they're going to be pretty good this year.
15:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
15:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done some nice roster structuring too in the offseason and through the draft and some pickups and then they return.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they return sign you sidetrone who had a tremendous rookie year last year.
16:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I like her.
16:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I like Kiki.
16:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if I'll say you're a fan right, but that's I like her.
16:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they've got some talent.
16:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I do have a question that's not related to that, so if you guys do any other comments about power rankings before I go to my next topic.
16:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll start off at John and say that the people are going to go 30 and 14 in the regular season before dominating the postseason.
16:54
[SPEAKER_04]: You honestly, I just wrote down my number before you said so I didn't forget, I thought I have 31 wins.
16:59
[SPEAKER_04]: 31 is my, was my pretty, so I have one more than you.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: If they stay healthy, they're going to be 35 and 9 more better.
17:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I like it.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that they will, if they're healthy because as I said all along, I believe they have the deepest roster in the WNBA.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think they could put, they have the first five and I think they're next five is better than the other teams next five.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, some other teams might have a better overall like a six or a set, you know, six or seven, but they don't have the eight nine and ten that I believe the fever half.
17:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, after we did that, I just pulled up the regular season winds, odds, and the betting line for the fever is 29 and a half, with under being the favorite slightly.
17:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they're going to win 30.
17:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I really do.
17:55
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I honestly think 31 is likely, but the line's 29 and a half.
18:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Michelle says, bet the over, bet the over.
18:05
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm kind of tempted because I'm getting almost even money on the over, but that's like she said though assuming there's no injuries, like we get one injury to a starting five and that that takes us down to like I would say 28, 27.
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what do you want to injury to a starting five takes us down to 29 or 30?
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Two injuries are more takes us under takes us down to 28 or
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm starting at 35.
18:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm starting at 31 like I think you're like as much as I love the team I think you're a little high with 35.
18:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll I'm gonna be your old with you.
18:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I love the enthusiasm I just think it's a bit much John Ace's Dream and Liberty what are their lines?
18:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, Ace's Ace's are at 30 and a half Dreams at 29 and a half
18:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Liberty.
19:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Liberty, um, 31 and a half.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: See, I think the Aces are more and tuned with 20.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see them.
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I know they've got a good 35 and maybe go 60, but I just, they don't have the depth.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They could, the
19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Jackie Young or Chelsea, I mean, Gray really got more so Jackie Young or Asia Wilson if they suffered an injury where they were where they had to miss at least half the season.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: the aces would be in real big trouble because I just don't think they have another player or two players that can make up that slack a little bit.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the fever too, if it was maybe Caitlyn or Alia, I think to be at perfectly honest, I think Alia is the one that the fever would struggle to replace if she suffered a big injury.
20:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I
20:05
[SPEAKER_00]: With Caitlyn, you can ask you brings dynamic.
20:07
[SPEAKER_00]: She's really good.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But we have players that can fill and step up.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw that last year.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: A bossing would be the detriment.
20:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys after last year, let's, every night, let's say our prayers for Caitlyn, Alia, Kelsey, Lexi, Sophie, Moni, and Tim.
20:27
[SPEAKER_03]: That this team says healthy all year because if they do, this is gonna be special.
20:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
20:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be really exciting in the building on Saturday at 1 o'clock.
20:38
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't wait to be there Bonus segment Who has the worst logo in the WMBA?
20:53
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's the question for now right now
20:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Worst logo, huh?
20:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Worst logo in the WMBA.
20:59
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a, I have a definite take.
21:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you start, I'm gonna go look at all of them and then I'm gonna tell you, but I, I do want to talk uniforms and team name as well because those are things that I'm obsessed with.
21:12
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I love friends.
21:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm all about branding and marketing.
21:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell me about the WMBA is a lot of swings and misses, but I tell you what they're now with the Valkyrie size and cool name.
21:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, I'm going to go on like it's a the two expansion teams are like neck and neck for the worst, but I'm going to give the absolute worst logo in the WMBA to the Toronto tempo.
21:36
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks like an 80s calculator brand logo to me and I hate it.
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: John, I agree.
21:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I don't I don't like the logos of the two expansion teams and I
21:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, especially the Portland fire I really don't like either because I think if you're like there's so many cool ways you could do a fire logo like I but like that one looks like a mix between a rose and fire and it's kind of it's it looks like a mess I don't like it it's hard to read it's terrible I just but I really don't like the Toronto one at all.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no I don't I don't either so
22:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Now listen, Connecticut's son are right there in like in the running for worse.
22:18
[SPEAKER_04]: They're there.
22:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't stand that one either, but like the the two for expansion ones are just bad.
22:25
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, Greg, who's yours?
22:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I kind of disagree if you guys are kind of like the Toronto.
22:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Really?
22:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we need to like about it.
22:34
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of bland, but it's not trying too hard and those are the ones I really don't like and
22:45
[SPEAKER_03]: logos now are pretty cool.
22:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the past ones were pretty ugly.
22:48
[SPEAKER_03]: The Washington mystics is the worst one.
22:50
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just too much going on in that logo.
22:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And the Connecticut sun not good too.
22:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Connecticut sun's bad.
22:57
[SPEAKER_04]: I just hate the Portland fire when a lot because I just didn't read well to me.
23:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
23:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And but the like I said, the Toronto tempo like the colors themselves are questionable choices.
23:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess it just looks very 80s and like it just looks like.
23:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I said, as this reminds me of an 80s computer or calculator company, that's just what it looks like to me.
23:18
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't like it.
23:19
[SPEAKER_03]: The sparks and the sparks and the mercury have a history of bad logos, but both have a pretty decent ones right now.
23:28
[SPEAKER_04]: I think sparks could use a refresh.
23:29
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I don't think it's bad, but I think it could be a good.
23:33
[SPEAKER_04]: user refresh.
23:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Aces like honestly the Las Vegas Aces as much as I dislike the team their logo.
23:38
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really well done.
23:39
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really well done.
23:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the coloring of it as well.
23:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the Aces that might be the best one of all of them.
23:47
[SPEAKER_03]: The Liberty's pretty cool too.
23:50
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the colors for the Dallas wings.
23:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't like their logo.
23:55
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not bad not great.
23:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Quick, since we're going to talk about uniforms, branding colors and stuff
24:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Currently, everything on the fever team store that is the old rebel red or the current.
24:08
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess rebel red is like 50% off because I'm pretty sure they're going to release the new rebel red stuff this weekend.
24:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, John, I clicked on that and those jerseys are really sharp.
24:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, they're not the new ones in the car.
24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I was with the sale, but it took.
24:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't buy jersey.
24:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I look good in in Jersey.
24:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't to me.
24:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to spend that kind of money on a jersey if I'm not going to wear it.
24:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, fair enough, but I mean, we want the listeners to know that if they want a current rebel red Kaling Clark jersey for 60 bucks, now's the time to do it.
24:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Or awesome.
24:47
[SPEAKER_04]: They have Boston and did they have Boston land when I looked they only have like one size and only a Boston and it definitely wouldn't fit me.
24:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I think but that also includes the player T-shirts in the sweatshirts.
24:57
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's a pretty good deal to get a hoodie, a fever hoodie for 50 bucks.
25:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm about getting a T-shirt.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So
25:06
[SPEAKER_03]: John speaking of which I was wrong about Alia Boston.
25:09
[SPEAKER_03]: She looked fantastic.
25:10
[SPEAKER_03]: She is moving well.
25:12
[SPEAKER_03]: She looks good.
25:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I think she's going to be right there at the best bigs in the WMBA.
25:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I think so too.
25:19
[SPEAKER_04]: I am a little curious to have the new officiating
25:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, stringency is going to affect her, because she got in foul trouble anyway, and if they're calling it tighter, it could be bad, but I think she'll adjust.
25:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not worried about her ability to adjust, but I do think it could lead to a couple of foul trouble games early in the season.
25:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It might, but it also, it might make it better for her, because she, I mean, she got, I mean, everybody talks about how Caitlyn got banged around.
25:53
[SPEAKER_00]: her up the year and she did.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The ice just weren't on the WNBA their own when Caitlyn came up but Boston got the tarby out of her as a rookie herself.
26:05
[SPEAKER_00]: She learned because in order to
26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Perform she had to get physical and so she plays the more physical I think you play her the more physical she plays back So if that is cleaned up a little bit I think she'll be fine because I do think of the bigs because she's such a good passing big probably I will say this her An ancient maybe satu's savali You know bigger or I know she's more of a forward though, isn't she?
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they have the nest to their, those got those players have the nest to their gate.
26:44
[SPEAKER_00]: They can, they don't have to.
26:48
[SPEAKER_04]: be banging on you to be successful on both ends of the course we'll see how she just I think she has the talent I would definitely I'm an Asia or I'm an Asia I'm a Leah Boston fan like I she's honestly I love watching her play I just think that in the last couple years she's played pretty aggressive and I would she's gonna have to dial it back I think with if the current officiating trends from preseason continue into the season I just think she'll need to make an adjustment I think she's fully capable of making an adjustment we just want to see
27:49
[SPEAKER_03]: The central Indian Institute report is a product of IGG media.
27:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'll also use it.
