I sense that she is catching on to the "W".
Her rookie numbers are on par with all the greats when they were rookies. Once she finally gets a break to relax and let her body recover from a college bball season straight into a pro league, she’s gonna dominate just like she did in college. There’s a reason teams show her respect and are already double teaming her.
THIS. And the WNBA and their referees will destroy the league by allowing thug tactics to slow her down. If she is injured by these tactics, many fans will walk away.
She needs to walk and play for $5M in ice cubes 3 on 3 and show the wnba how much they need her for bigger contracts.
The reality here is many of the CC and especially WNBA bashers are just misogynists in general. We seem to have a pack of them here. Dinosaur country.
Typical sophomore viewpoint.
Who is the CC basher? And you think what they are doing to her is fun to watch?
I want to know if these boys throwing around labels watched and truly enjoyed the all-female "Ghostbusters" movie. Because if they didn't, we have been told that they MUST be misogynists. But we already know the answer.
it's the 100 previous women bashing posts that net the dinasour association, not the comments on CC.
Ghostbusters and Oceans 11. Both were trash. They did a scene in End Game... Most cringe thing imaginable.
CC sure came out ans schooled reese the few plays I saw. Was great to see.
The Sky will be a problem in a year or 2 because of their bigs. But their bigs don't get space with the shooters they don't have. Carter shoots under 17% from 3 and Allen shoots 10%. Those are their starting guards.
Fever need another perimeter threat. Wallace is dog poop. Sky need shooters. Two best players are your PF and C. Neither can shoot a lick and get you're throwing out 2 guards that shoot sub 20% from 3 to play alongside them. Their coach might be dumber than the Fevers.
The Fever have adjusted to opponents single, double and triple teams on CC with having her distribute primarily. She has almost been a decoy, offensively. Now she seems to be picking her spots and letting the game come to her, which is certainly an adjustment for her. She seems to be rebounding more as well. The Fever still need roster improvements down low and at the wings to become one of the best teams, but they should win enough this season to sneak into the playoffs.
Angel Reese is a thug, but she's getting her name on ESPN and in the news, so that's all that matters. And of course, WNBA leadership loves that there's growing controversy, especially a racial one, that's getting attention from outside the normally very tiny crowd who cares about the WNBA.
People don’t even have to watch the games to discuss/get all crazy about the “racial” war going on in the wnba…the nba/wanna knows any publicity is good publicity
The WNBA is in the perfect storm right now.
I’m not sure why it’s so hard to understand why more people are talking about the wnba…it’s because Clark bombs 3s from anywhere (or did in college at least) and that’s what made ppl excited to watch. Yes there are better and more experienced players, but ppl would rather watch Clark score 12-30 points binging 3s as a opposed to 4-8 ft jump shots.
Unfortunately, starting with Obama, everything is about race now. It's why we have BLM, DEI and all the other ways to divide people.
If they keep it up, the only people who'll be watching will be the roller derby crowd. Will that be an increase from Before Caitlin Clark (BCC)?
They'll take whatever publicity they can get right now. I'm sure the marketing execs are working overtime to take advantage of this visibility. I mean, even my wife was talking about it and should could care less about either the NBA or WNBA.
There were less than 60 posts in this thread before you posted this "excuse".
To have lived through the Bird/Magic era was a treat for basketball fans. From my perspective, every white person from Indiana was suddenly a Celtic fan; every black person from anywhere was a Laker fan ...yet there was no animosity whatsoever. No racial stuff, just mutual respect. I remember taking a pizza over to my friend's house to watch an LA- Boston game. A magnificent game at the Garden that went against the Celts. I left there steaming inside, but said my pleasantries before departing. The husband and wife, both black, were tickled and sensed my discomfort at having to play the "gracious loser."
