Official WNBA Random Thoughts - Sides has been fired as Fever coach

[The Unknown Hype]

HELL NAH...

SHE WAS FOUL BAITING
AND MINNY WAS PLAYING
STRAIGHT UP DEFENSE.

SHE GOT FRUSTRATED BECAUSE
SHES GOTTEN USED TO GETTING
THOSE TOUCH FOULS IN THE 2ND HALF
OF THE SEASON





​

She averages less free throws than angel is guarded by the other teams best player every game. On top of that Boston was getting beat up in the post and not getting calls but it’s been clear from the start the refs swallow their whistle more often than not.

She’s not attempting a ton of free throws every game relative to even someone like angel. And she drives a fair amount now. Y’all were mad because they stopped giving angel every call when yall had 20 more free throws in the game the game before they played sky last. And I believe we’re dead even with the sky in calls last game

Trash, third options putting up these numbers

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

Here comes the spin. You know Clark doesn’t even get calls like that compared to most in the league. We going to pretend the fever haven’t had a huge disparity in free throws in a lot of their games. You clearly aren’t watching the games or are pretending you don’t see the stats in front of you. They swallow their whistle more often than not on Clark which is the reason they got so frustrated in the last lynx game.

BULshyt!! Since the olympic break, it looks like I'm watching a 10 year vet that the league has invested in. We see her jump into players and get foul calls, but on the other end it's an offensive foul. You know what you're seeing.

Then why do they have way less free throws than the other team in a lot of their games . The dream took 30 more shots and still lost. You obviously don’t like Clark from your post history. We also going to pretend your team doesn’t lead in techs specifically for the same reason of not getting enough calls

Remember when people clownd Clark for having a fg% in the mid 30's?....well...Current shooting% from some of the elite guards/wings:

Young- 42.6
Clark- 42.3
McBride- 42.3
Bonner- 41.7
Plum- 41.6
SDS- 40.9
A.Gray- 40.7
Taurasi- 40.5
Ionescu- 40.4
Howard- 38.2
Arike- 38.0
Loyd- 36.6

Side note: The Fg% for Carter/Mitchell is very impressive

Carter- 50.0
Mitchell- 46.1

C.Carter is clearly Chicago's best offensive player and it even isn't close...Should've been an all-Star.

The point is she's not even top 10 in fta and yall talking about special whistle.

 

[Mars]

At the moment. I have Clark on the all league 1st team.

 

[CHICAGO]

The point is she's not even top 10 in fta and yall talking about special whistle.

NO YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.

75% OF HER SHOT ATTEMPTS
ARE JUMP SHOTS YET SHES TAKING
5 FREE THROWS PER GAME.
THATS A FRIENDLY WHISTLE
BECAUSE ANGEL ONLY TAKES 5 FREE THROWS
AND DOES ALL OF HER WORK
IN THE PAINT ...

ITS NOT EVEN AS SIMPLE AS FT COUNT ANYWAY.

WHEN HE MENTIONED TOUCH FOULS
HE WAS REFERRING TO ON THE BALL DEFENSE...

PLAYERS GET CALLED FOR NON SHOOTING FOULS
ANYTIME THEY TRY TO PRESS UP
ON HER HANDLE NOW
WHICH COMPLETELY CHANGES
THE WAY YOU GUARD HER.

THIS WASNT THE CASE EARLY IN THE SEASON.
THEY ARENT ALLOWING
THAT PHYSICAL PERIMETER DEFENSE
THE WNBA HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR.

THEYRE MORPHING IT INTO THE
SOFT NBA shyt TO KEEP THE VIEWERS

No she’s not. It’s the generational whistle she gets

We also going to pretend your team doesn’t lead in techs specifically for the same reason of not getting enough calls

because it's trickery how they do it. If your don't know what you're seeing, then you can be easily fooled. They let them play for the first half, barely sending the Fever to line. Other team builds lead off physical play and they have more freethrows than the Fever as the refs don't give them the flopping calls. Then about 4 minutes into the 3rd, they wither start sending the Fever to the line every other possesion on touch fouls or start calling touch fouls changing the way defense is plays. Now the other team can't complain because the Fever hasn't shot many freethrows all game. So they can't say, "they ae going to the line too much" or "these are touch fouls".. Once this is established with the touch fouls, now they have to play defense by trying not to foul instead of trying to stop the scorer. 4th quarter they call it even, but the momentum has shifted. This has happened a few games, but you're right, most teams shoot more freethrows than them and they should because Clark, Mitchell, and Hull shoot a lot of outside shots. The game is the game

People in this thread acting like they don't see this shyt. I used to get clowned on youtube panels for watching the WNBA and I'd tell guys, "there isn't a lot of flopping and foul calls in the WNBA. They let them play". After the olympic break, this hasn't been the case. I don't even know what I'm watching. For the record, fukk those Chicago Sky bytches and everything they love., but you're right. A team that lives in the paint as they do should be shooting more freethrows. It's common sense.
