Fever vs Aces Game 5, Alyssa Thomas-Napheesa Foul Debate & Juju Watkins Out For Season | Ep.9

What’s up Post Moves fam, we missed you last week but we’re back with a jam-packed episode. Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston dive straight into the WNBA Playoffs, starting with the Indiana Fever’s incredible run — from Aliyah’s game-winning layup against the Atlanta Dream to forcing a winner-take-all Game 5 against the Las Vegas Aces. They break down the Fever’s journey, Aliyah’s record-setting performances, and what to expect in the decisive matchup as she goes head-to-head with fellow Gamecock A’ja Wilson.

The conversation then shifts to the Mercury upsetting the top-seeded Lynx and the controversial no-call involving Alyssa Thomas and Napheesa Collier that has the whole league buzzing, along with Cheryl Reeve’s fiery postgame comments that led to her suspension. Candace puts the spotlight on Kahleah Copper and Phoenix’s push to the Finals in her You Got This moment, before she and Aliyah wrap things up by answering fan questions on everything from playoff mentality and breaking records, to JuJu Watkins’ decision to sit out next season, and Bad Bunny being named the Super Bowl halftime performer.
