Ep #440: A NWSL Challenge Cup preview, plus examining the down-bad Dallas Mavericks

The GIST of It

Hello hello!
The grass really is greener in March because the NWSL is finally back. Today’s episode of The GIST of It previews tomorrow’s Challenge Cup, the ceremonial start of the season. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz will walk through the changes to this year’s game before picking their winner: Will it be the defending NWSL champ Orlando Pride or the runner-up Washington Spirit?
Then in part two, the gals shift gears to the NBA hardwood to weigh in on the fallout from one of the most shocking moves in NBA history. We’re just over one month removed from the bombshell trade that sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the LA Lakers, and while one of those teams is now on a meteoric rise, the other is down bad crying at the gym.
