    Which W Team Has The Most Pressure To Win: Lynx, Liberty Or Aces?
    2025/09/12
    History’s undefeated: every W team with a 15+ win streak has finished as champs. Will the Aces keep the streak perfect—or crack under the pressure? Jordan and Autumn unpack momentum vs. burden, and why Autumn says the heaviest weight sits with the defending champs, even while the Lynx wear the No. 1 target. They also run through every title hopeful with one sharp question each: Golden State’s forced move to San Jose—does Chase Center magic travel? Atlanta’s non–All-Star X-factor, Indiana’s Kelsey-as-superhero path, and Seattle’s “want → wins” test. Plus they preview a volatile 4 vs 5 matchup in Mercury vs Liberty. And stick around until the end for a wholesome bonus to close the show. Our first-ever merch drop is live! Tees, hoodies, caps & more — available Sept 2–16 only at shopwomenshoops.com. Don’t miss it!
