Official WNBA Random Thoughts - Playoffs begin 9/22!

The sad thing is that you doubled down on this.

You feel this way because Clark is being criticized faltering in the first game? So you have to bring in someone else to take the heat off of her? And you use a GOAT candidate to make your point? Reeks of usual Clark fans reactions when something is “unfair” against her.

Nah it’s not about that at all. But yall feel a way about it obviously. I never said she deserved it but I think it does make the discourse more interesting. But nah Aja is great obviously but I just think it’s an interesting situation that it’s different in other leagues. LeBron doesn’t deserve half the hate he gets but you kinda expect it. Anyway I’m chillin on the take it was just a question

It might be a case of "who are these bytches?" bc I aint heard of nobody outside of the top 4, Paopao and Amore,

Miles & Cintron are nice, and ND guards in the pros>>>. Miles is coming off an injury like Fudd as well but Fudd's injury history is nasty and I don't know about her overall skillset and athleticism in the pros. I still got PTSD from that Ohio St Sweet 16 game when Paige was out and Fudd didn't know how to pass or dribble against a full court press.

Miles and Harmon were the best PG prospects, but both missed all of last season
Barker was a high prospect 2 years ago, but was on Texas AM that barely got any shine. She'll get a lot more exposure at UCLA this season

Of all the players on this list, I think only Paige, Kiki, and Barker have All-Star or higher potential.
Everyone else can just be solid players at best probably

Why does Aja never get criticized. All people have talked about this season is how nobody a touch her stats impact etc. I can think of a million storylines an nba equivalent would get but it’s strange how she gets nothing but praise. Not saying she doesn’t deserve it but I can’t think of one nba player that doesn’t get criticized for something. I think that’s why the media struggles to give her a compelling storyline besides the unanimous mvp thing that kinda just became a footnote over the season

We felt a way because it came across absurd and weird.


Comparing Aja to Lebron is like comparing an eagle to a peacock, Bron being the peacock. Bron is very visible, Aja isn’t. Bron walks round calling himself the GOAT, Aja doesn’t. Bron gives controversial statements, Aja doesn’t. Bron loves the attention, and Aja stays away until it’s time. Bron at times, puts himself in position to get hated on. Aja? Nothing.

Tonight is elimination

I know, but I’m saying they do get a home game, hence 1-1-1 (if necessary)

Edit: Didn’t know the first two games were in Connecticut

 

[Po pimp]

It’s 2-1 with the 1 being for the lower seeded team.

So the first two games are in Connecticut? Wow, I didn’t know that. I was confused because Alyssa Thomas was saying they dropped that second game last year and mentioning how those Fever fans are gonna be crazy.

Yeah that’s true like I said I’m not advocating for her to get any but I think it will be more natural for future stars as it grows. Like I said I’m chillin though but it is something I kinda wondered when I first was introduced to the league. I didn’t think about how she isn’t really in the limelight like that yet.
