Official WNBA Random Thoughts - Playoffs begin 9/22!

[BlackMajik]

Yep. Clark also needs to get a middie and a floater, but she's quite obviously one of the better players in the league already.

Yea the numbers prove that she's seeing more intense defense than anyone in WNBA history

Not an opinion, it's a fact

 

[Big Boss]

I can't get over 9:12 in the vid. Instead of cutting towards the basket which should be common sense ol girl just stands there like she don't know what to do

And yea it clearly shows that a lot of CC's turnovers are becuz her teammates are confused and not used to her style of play

They need a read & react offense

Yep they didn't have enough time in the offseason together.

All this CC vs WNBA & Reese Cardoso Mob and gotdamn Chicago only got 1 more win than Indiana

3-5 vs 2-9

So one team played less games and won more

The Sky could lose their next 3 games and if the Fever didn't play another game in that time frame, the Sky would STILL have a better record.

They're really making headlines out of Angel Reese's ejection

Dumbass cacs calling her "classless" and saying she's "bringing the hood to the WNBA." Nevermind that the golden girl is tied for the lead in technical fouls. Also, the second T that got Angel ejected got rescinded.

They've chosen Cameron Brink and Haley Van Lith for the 3 x 3 USA team for the Olympics along with Cierra Burdikk and Rhyne Howard




(from reddit)

Cameron Brink, Hailey Van Lith, Linnae Harper and Cierra Burdikk of Team USA pose with the trophy during the award ceremony at the FIBA 3x3 World cup at Rathausplatz on June 4, 2023 in Vienna, Austria.

So basically the only change was Linnae Harper for Rhyne which im very confused cuz i thought Rhyne should be on 5x5 but idk why people are confused about the other 3 when they have already won together.

The way that FIBA 3x3 Olympics teams work is that you need to select at least two players in the top 10 rankings of your country for 3x3. The rankings come from players participating in recent 3x3 circuits. So you can't really stack the lineup with WNBA stars because a lot of them are outside the top-10 since they don't really participate in the 3x3 circuits (plus many of them will want to aim for the 5v5 squad).

HVL, Brink, and Burdikk recently won gold at the 3x3 World Cup and their inclusion helps fulfill the top 10-ranking requirement. I think the team USA wants to keep that chemistry since there won't be a lot of time to get up to speed with the timing of everything, especially since other nations have teams whose players are fully committed to playing 3x3 throughout the entire year. Rhyne doesn't have too much 3x3 experience, but adding an All-Star to the squad who was one of the best players in the Springfield 3x3 circuit also makes sense.

HVL has been training with Phil Handy and I think that was a really good decision for her

Indys is 2-9...but they've played Conn/NY/Sea/LV 8 times.....basically 4 of the 5 best teams in the league...11 gms in 20 days with 2 road GM back-to-backs....They had no time to rest/practice...Only doing walk-throughs before games.

Indy is finally getting in some rest/practice and Clark has been working on her shot.

She keeps working she might turn out to be something decent.

Right now she has the endorsement interest so she has a foot in the door.

Seems like she likes basketball well enough.

smh

smh

What happened?

 

[phillycavsfan]

Rhyne Howard was a contender to make the full Olympic team. Still an outside shot for Clark to make it (she shouldn't tho).
