À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
What does success look like in year one?
For the Portland Fire, it starts with 19,000 people packing the Moda Center. Then it's the buzzer-beaters, the big nights and a fanbase that just keeps growing. The team's 17-27 record is the second best inaugural season for a WNBA expansion team since 2000 and put the Fire at ninth in the league, just shy of making the playoffs.
Even without a playoff berth, the Fire's future appears bright. Now, the challenge becomes how to sustain the momentum in order to build a franchise that lasts. Portland Fire President Clare Hamill was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to discuss the team's inaugural season and the roadmap as the team gears up for the WNBA's expanded 2027 season.
