Unlike most, I enjoy the WNBA and other women's sports.
Right now Indiana is destroying Chicago.

Clark is really a lot of fun to watch and I love he maturity through her college career.

1st game of the year, triple double for Clark.

Big fun.

Sure. Women's Tennis, Softball, Beach Volleyball and Soccer are better than the men's version... but the WNBA is pure and utter shit. It is a joke.

All Clarke is doing is turning the WNBA into the NBA... a 3-point shootout. That might be after missing wide open lay-ups over and over... airballs every other possession. No game, just drive in, kick out for a three... or don't even pass at all and just launch a Three... the WNBA just sucks.

Just let Reese play. She wasn't the one who got the flagrant anyway.
It was a hard foul, but not a flagrant foul. Reese got hacked across her arms, then flopped and made a much bigger deal out of it by acting all tough, like she wanted a fight. The Sky was behind by 14 points at the time and they were clearly getting outplayed on the court. The game wasn’t in doubt and the Sky ended up getting beat by 35.

It would have helped if the refs hadn’t swallowed their whistles when Reese shoved Natasha Howard in the back with both arms to get the rebound. By not making calls, they allow the rough play to escalate and tempers to flare.

Reese is an easy target because she refuses to pass the ball out to open players when she collects rebounds. She would be a more effective player if she did. But it’s always about her going back up and trying to shoot with every rebound she gets no matter what. Then, she gets her shots blocked or she misses or she gets fouled. It’s about Angel getting her touches and stats, not about her team winning games. So yeah, just let Reese play.

Honest. This sounds like the NBA.

It is not her job to pass the ball. Her job is to rebound and shoot. If you notice, she is always at the rim, not running across the court

Are you familiar with the concepts of playing inside-out, passing the ball to hit the open man, or high-low? Does every single rebound have to be forced up to the rim when opposing players are standing there waiting to swat the ball away because Reese has the hops to maybe jump over a playing card laying flat at her feet? She doesn’t shoot the ball down low- she throws it up at the rim.

Angel Reese shot 39.1% from the field last season and 35.7% Saturday vs the Fever. That’s pretty pathetic for a forward who mainly shoots the ball from 5 feet in from the hoop. One other question- has this been working for the Sky? Perhaps if Reese became more aware of her open teammates when she collects her rebounds just by turning around and looking before throwing the ball up to the basket, the Sky may have a better record.

Watch the good teams play an inside-out game and see how much more competitive and successful they are than the Sky. Reese will get her rebounds. But until she learns how to actually play the game at the offensive end of the court, other players on her team are going to get tired of watching her take bad shot after bad shot just because she gets a rebound.

Because that is what I said it was...

The WNBA is so laughably bad it should be classified as comedy. I challenge any WNBA fan here to watch a high school boys game or any low level college basketball game. You will notice that those guys crush even the best WNBA players as far as skills go. The WNBA is like watching a celebrity all-star game; most of the players have no talent. The only reason the WNBA exists at all is because of feminism. The NBA actively loses money on the WNBA, but if they got rid of it, they would be called sexist, so they won't, even if the WNBA is an endless money pit.

Most games she scores double points. So she is doing what she is supposed to do

I stand by my commentary. You do whatever is necessary for your team to win games, not pad your own stats.

Angel Reese is for Angel Reese, not the Chicago Sky. Let’s see how many wins they get with the way she plays. Bet she’ll be making all kinds of noise demanding a trade when it’s obvious there will be no playoffs again for Chicago because, well, she’s all about Angel.

She is not paddling stats. She is doing the job she gets paid to do
 
The WNBA is a very racist league. She best be careful and watch her back.


Oh please. It is only a game and you don’t know what Griner was saying. It is not a racist league. The #1 draft picks in the last two years were white girls. You wing nuts want to make everything about race

It is a racist league. Just an FYI and I am anything but a wing nut.

In this case the comments were out of context however.

Let us all be honest.

What a concept, right?

The only ones making this about race is the race baiters. Let the girls play. You people act like Caitlin Clark is the only white girl in the league

I asked for a citation ref: "you people" referring to me.
You are the one that said it was a racist league, so therefore you are included in the you people ref
