About this episode

The episode discusses the Valkyries' winning streak and their potential as title contenders, alongside a focus on Caitlin Clark's impact and other player discussions.

In this episode of Podhalla, Garrett Gonzales and Brian Gonzales break down the Valkyries' eight-game winning streak and debate whether Golden State is a legitimate WNBA title contender in just its second season, with expectations for the franchise now sky-high. They discuss the Valkyries' matchup with the Indiana Fever and why the story always seems to lean toward Caitlin Clark even when the Fever lose, and dig into why she's become such a political lightning rod and how much of that falls on her. They close out reacting to Gabby Williams' All-Star selection, making the case for more Kaitlyn Chen lineups given her offensive upside, and debating whether Janelle Salaun should be starting.
