I want to thank the Fire Heads who were able to make the journey north for the July 4th game. Watching from home, it was clear how much it meant to our players to have some friendly, supportive faces/voices in the crowd... thanks for putting in the miles!

Carla -
- ugly game but we made tough shots, got the dub
- 4q collision; "just a fall"
Frieda -
- defended very well, tough offensive rebounds in the end
- team focus on rebounds, not the biggest team, but grit, frontal hits and crash and jam rebounds came through
I had to cancel my trip to today’s game in Seattle. If anyone picks up an extra Storm / Fire rivalry pin, I’d love to trade for it!
From Fansided:
Clutchness. It's this hard-to-define idea, right? Well...technically, it's not hard to define at all, as the WNBA has official stats for "clutch" situations, i.e. when it's the final five minutes of a game or overtime and the margin between the teams is five points or less.
So today, we're combining data and a little bit of analysis to determine who the five most clutch players have been in 2026. You might notice this list is missing some of the big-name players you might expect. There's no A'ja Wilson. No Caitlin Clark. No member of the New York Liberty or Atlanta Dream, a team that is accustomed to being snubbed this week. Well...some of that is because those players haven't had a lot of clutch opportunities, while other reasons include those expected clutch players actually struggling in the clutch this season. Breanna Stewart? 5-for-20 in clutch situations this season. Wilson? It's hard to really talk about her clutch performance when she has just nine attempts in the clutch in 2026.

can someone please confirm how Frieda pronounces her own last name? is it BYOO-ner? or is it BOO-ner?
TIA!

- pleased with defensive effort despite poor FG shooting, stepped defense. 47-31 rebounding advantage; Frieda, EE, Meg, BC all had 7+ boards
- carleton fg% low but liked the ISO turn around jumper against fam (bff phee would be hella proud of that move). working on finishing on gold medal attempts
- good winterburn minutes helped to settle second unit
- serah/luisa usage; all about the defense, rebounding and rim protection
I'm visiting from the Bay next week and would love to grab two tickets to experience the Fire Pit firsthand (and see Carla Leite again!).
I know there's a Facebook group for Valkyries resale tickets where people resell their seats at face value. Does anyone know if there's somethign simialr for Portland?
Hello! I am visiting Portland this week, and I was wondering where I can find some merch. I know there was a post a few months ago, which at the time wasn’t much. I am wondering now that the season is rolling if anyone knows where I can find shirts and sweaters.
I am driving down from Seattle, so I can stop pretty much wherever on my way down.
Thanks!
Up five spots from #34 in second wave.
Reserves will be selected by head coaches. Hopefully they see the value of a coaches' kid added as a reserve.

Will the Portland Fire have a Pride logo this year? I keep checking their Facebook page, but so far there has been nothing.
