The Phoenix Mercury dropped their second straight home game, falling to the Los Angeles Sparks and moving to 2–4 on the season, the worst six-game start of the Nate Tibbetts era.   Erika and Stephen break down what went wrong for Phoenix, why the offense still feels uneven, what the Sparks exposed, and how concerned the Mercury should be this early in the season.

Phoenix Mercury BEAT the Undefeated Sky Behind ANOTHER Jovana Nogic Masterclass ✨

The Phoenix Mercury handed the previously undefeated Chicago Sky their first loss of the season, but the biggest story might be Jovana Nogic continuing to look like one of the steals of the entire WNBA season.   Erika, Stephen and Gil breaks down Phoenix’s biggest win so far, why the Mercury are beginning to establish a real identity, and how Nogic has already made WNBA history as the league’s highest-scoring undrafted rookie. Plus, Monique Akoa Makani’s return appears imminent, and Nick U’Ren drawing interest from the Philadelphia 76ers says a lot about the respect Phoenix is earning around the league.   Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - Welcome Back to Planet Mercury 4:00 - Mercury vs Chicago Sky Recap 13:30 - Jovana "Yoyo" Nogic is special 28:00 - Alyssa Thomas on scouting department of Mercury 32:40 - Nick U'Ren to Philadelphia 76'ers? 45:30 - Valériane Ayayi's fit in Phoenix 56:00 - Credit Check / Toronto Tempo preview   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/     bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!

Why The Phoenix Mercury Are STILL Missing Roster Pieces

The Phoenix Mercury are just 1-2 to start the season, but the bigger story might be that this roster STILL hasn’t fully come together yet.   After Fiba delays kept her out to begin the year, Valériane Ayayi finally made her Mercury debut and Phoenix immediately threw her into the starting lineup. So what does that tell us about how the Mercury envision this team long term?   We break down Ayayi’s fit alongside Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper, why the Mercury’s defensive identity already looks legit, and how roster continuity, chemistry, and missing pieces continue to impact the offense early in the season.   Plus: what’s real about Phoenix’s 1-2 start, what still needs to improve, and why this team may look VERY different a few weeks from now.   Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - Vibe check 4:30 - Gil's first x-factor experience 9:00 - Minnesota Lynx game recap 10:00 - Olivia Miles was special vs the Mercury 16:20 - Valériane Ayayi 22:00 - Mercury scouting department COOKING 32:00 - It's KFC, Kahleah Copper 40:00 - Missing players vs Lynx 49:30 - Gameplan vs Chicago Sky 55:00 - Predictions   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/     bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!

Why The Phoenix Mercury’s 1-1 Start Is MORE Encouraging Than It Looks

The Phoenix Mercury are 1-1 to open the season, but the context around that start matters. The Mercury open the year with the second-hardest opening schedule in the WNBA, including the team’s only back-to-back of the entire season, and still showed flashes of what this group can become.   Erika, Stephen and Girl break down the Mercury’s ugly first half against the Valkyries, the second-half comeback attempt that cut the game to one possession, and why there are still plenty of encouraging signs despite the loss.   Plus, Alyssa Thomas continues to drive nearly everything offensively for Phoenix, Jovana Nogic stays red-hot from three, and the Mercury still haven’t fully unlocked the best version of Kahleah Copper yet.   The Mercury home opener is next, and Phoenix still looks like a team with another level waiting to be unlocked.   Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - Catching up on the loss to GSV   10:00 - Possession game cost the Merc 16:00 - SPG's notes on Veronica Burton and the GSV matchup 19:00 - Mack rebounding impact 30:00 - Alyssa Thomas is amazing (still) 44:00 - Trading for Cam Brink? 46:00 - Jovana Nogic is MORE than a shooter 50:30 - Predictions for Minnesota Lynx game   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/     bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!
