Official WNBA Random Thoughts - Playoffs begin 9/22!

THERE WAS A PLAY WHERE
SHE HAD A DOWN HILL CUT
TO THE BASKET WITH AN
OPEN LANE FOR THE BOUNCE PASS
AND ALLEN
DECIDED TO BRICK A FLOATER.

SHE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PG




​

I watched that play

Chelsea Gray would never do that
It would have been an easy lay up by Aja

That's what the commentators were saying yesterday so I can't blame him. That Sky game is definitely an outlier no matter how you slice it. Good on them though

Is it tho when given the opportunity they’ve sold out just as much

 

[Monsanto]

What???? So she should just get hit in the face and shoulders to see what she can do? Please don’t tell me you was one of them guys complaining about how physical teams was playing Caitlin

I wasn't. The physical game is what they signed up for. I'm an objective Clark fan

ANY REAL PG WOULD HAVE.

WE DONT HAVE ONE SINGLE PG
ON THIS TEAM...

JUST WOMEN WHO BRING
THE BALL UP THE COURT
BECAUSE THEYRE SHORT



​

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Because she's hooking player's arms and pushing them to get room for a rebound

You just said it’s physical league so now they should call fouls on that which btw she was the one hooked

 

[Monsanto]

Average Attendance and viewership doesn't actually support what your saying.

Both things can be true. Reese got a bad whistle and the last two games has also shot poorly.

I never said it was a fair league. Some calls are more prioritized than others. Rebounder will never get the benefit of the doubt for over the back fouls.

They sell out their arena they have sold out other teams arenas the teams just don’t move the games to bigger venues for the sky like the do the fever and the only games outside of this one they had on national tv were fever games what are you even talking about

First it was hooking now she goes over the back you are unserious

 

[The Unknown Hype]

what was the attendance for this last one?

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Both things can be true. Reese got a bad whistle and the last two games has also shot poorly.

True but the bad whistle makes it look like she’s shooting worse than she is

 

[Bigwhite2498]

what was the attendance for this last one?

Last what?

 

[CHICAGO]

Both things can be true. Reese got a bad whistle and the last two games has also shot poorly.

BUT ONE IS THE DIRECT
CAUSE OF THE OTHER...

A MISSED SHOT DOESNT
COUNT AS A MISSED SHOT
WHEN ITS A SHOOTING FOUL.

THOSE MISSED SHOTS
TURN INTO POINTS ON THE BOARD
BY WAY OF FREE THROWS
WHICH BUILDS A RHYTHM
AND DISCOURAGES THE OTHER TEAM
FROM PLAYING PHYSICAL DEFENSE.

THE MORE YOU HOLD THE WHISTLE
THE MORE BLATANT THE FOULS
AND NO CALLS BECOME.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.



Fever is moving stadiums almost every game and selling out. Across the first 11 games the Fever were averaging just under 17K for attendance while the Sky was just under 9K. There's levels to this
