2024 WNBA Discussion Thread

Great game for the Storm and great first start for Jordy. Storm rallied after awful first qtr and led the Sun most of the rest of the game and won by 11. Jordy had 10 pts, 4 coming late to seal the game and had 7 reb, 3 assists and 3 steals. Mercedes added 4 pts. Great outing for all!

Not meant to insult anyone, I just thought this was funny. I guess count me among the “men who are a little bit scared of women” when my partner gets mad enough lol

WNBA crowds are by far the friendliest/best vibes of any sporting event crowds I’ve seen IMO

A rational fear on occasion I’m sure.

AR 8 pts 8 rebs at halftime. Another double double on the way. By hook and by crook, she gets it done.

Kamilla gets alot of what she gets, rebs and pts, simply bc she's much bigger than everyone else. Nothing wrong w that either.

CC also has 8 pts, has 7 assists to 3 t.o.s.

Once again, Chennedy Carter is the star. Also not historically the leagues cuddliest sweetheart, but she's playing incredibly right now.

Fever hosed by the officials today.

That last move by Reese was a clear travel. She’s had a stellar game (and shot the ball much better).

But that was a step, hop, two step layup. You can’t really guard that in the paint without fouling.

 

[VolBall09]

Well boo. Fun game to watch.

Fever giving up that lead was not great. Smith’s defense was terrible all afternoon. Buried in the paint on every possession.

Mitchell no better, Carter had her way with her all over the floor. Got to the rim anytime she wanted.

 

[VolBall09]

Clark has to take that last shot.

I understand passing with the double coming but she’s the only clutch player on that team. What was that from Boston? Yikes. She had time to shoot it too.

This game was absolute cinema, like Holly said Reese is a Winner.

She got a special whistle today too. Let’s see if she thanks the officials this time.

The refs favored Indiana all game, not sure what u was watching. But Clark played well so I’m sure you’re good.

Angel Reese put on a SHOW! I loved her post game comment, “I’m a dog. You can’t teach that!”

Dude. Free throws was 32 to 14 in favor of the Sky.

oh give it a rest. Indiana had the favorable whistle the whole game. AR dominated pure and simple.

32-14 on foul shots is not in your favor.

 

[ShortyMac10]

Angel,kamilla,and Carter that core 3 are fun to watch but good win

 

[glv98]

Just a great game by Angel, no two ways about it. She is indeed a dawg that can't be taught. I guess the incessant yapping and posing is part of the dawg thing, and today she backed it up. Great game for her, relentlessness should be rewarded.

Nylissa Smith, OTOH, should def STFU. Hitting that too small and being dominated the whole game is just dumb. Most of the time she hurts Indy alot more than helps.

CC's passing was next level, very good game for her. Should have gotten the last shot for sure. Bad execution by Indy.

Mabry damn, she should never be on the floor late in close games. You could see on her face she was going to miss those fts, practically had "here we go again" on a thought bubble above her head. She just lucky she didn't cost them another game.

I few good things fm Diamond today, but Diamond and Izzy continue to lose ground on this team.

I thought the reffing was average and cost both teams at times. Too many travels to single out any one.

Fun game to watch!

Too much has been made of Angel vs. Clark. I love it that both had stellar games. WNBA will be so much better if both have great careers., which is likely.

We can wish the game would overtake the reality show, but I doubt it will. Especially bc Angel plays to it so hard. The yap show is just a built in part of her game. And many say that's what they come to see. Today it was more her vs Smith, with dumbass Smith biting on every single bait AR threw out.

I don’t mid the trash talk as long as it’s not personal. She grew up playing I’m the streets of Baltimore that’s just how it goes, they trash talk and things also get physical, i’m sure Suburban basketball is different but that doesn’t make one better than another.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Are you just going to overlook that she’s from Chicago or let it play?

She still supports Reese, they are close.

So let it play out. She had a nice game. I’m more concerned about your IG stalking and believing you know the nuances of a relationship through post.

I don‘t care either way, just like Holly Rowe said, Reese has won at every level and that’s the end of the discussion.

Oh my, aggressive ending on your end. 1-2 so far keeps it going. Hopefully for many years.

It should be a blowout for Indiana, it shouldn’t even be close. The Sky have the worse roster in the league, no wonder they were picked to finish last.

I don't know, that Mystics roster is baaaaad. Especially with Austin and Sykes out - but even with them. Pre-season on paper, I thought the Sky were 10th or 11th based on roster (basically even with LA).

I’m not counting injuries, the pre season rankings are if they’re at full strength. But Indiana has a way better overall roster, no way the Sky should have won this game but Reese just wills her teams to wins, I don’t know how she does it.

The Sky is 6-9 in her willing the team to victory. Not sure if this deserves the Jordan Flu (food poisoning) praise.
