For some reason the Fever can't finish. They had every opportunity to beat the Liberty but fell flat in the 4th QTR.

Mitchell is having a MVP year.

That seems to be their Achilles heel. The Fever gets a decent lead and then 3 or 4
consecutive bricks and turnovers the other team will drain a couple 3's, get a
few quick layups, bingo bango, the Fever gets 4 flat tires for the last qtr. Liberty is
real good though, it was fun for a bit when the Fever had the lead.

Should be a good Fever home effort Thurs nite against A'ja Wilson and Company .

Angel Reese had NINE turnovers last night. 😳

Watched some highlights and may have to walk back some of my recent praise.

I don’t care if she gets a double-double every game because that’s not helping the team any. She’s still a total liability.

This is what having a hot take just for the sake of having one looks like. What even is that last paragraph? Come on, brother. :lol2:

Also, as a CC fan, you really don't have much room to talk about anybody else committing turnovers, LOL. She and Reese lead the league in that stat by different metrics. CC averages the most turnovers per game, and Reese has the most total turnovers. It is what it is. Gotta tighten up.

Given that the media and the Cult of Angel make such a big deal over turnovers, they have to eat this one.

Caitlin is the floor General. Her game is going to have that, though she does need to tighten up some on ball security. But it’s natural for someone who passes as much as she does to commit turnovers.

Angel’s are much worse. She just makes baffling decisions. IMO, and it’s part of being on a bad team, she’s trying to do too much. Combined with the fact that she’s trying to get her stats.

No CC or Reese fans should be making a big deal about anyone else's turnovers. There are bigs and guards at the top of the respective turnover lists, and I've already stated CC and Reese's positions on it. No excuses, it just is what it is.

Most players, unless they're on a superteam and are buying into the sacrifice required, try to get their stats at times, even CC. I've definitely seen her check back into a game that Indy was winning to either get a double or triple-double and then check right back out once she got it. It's really not that serious.

Again, Caitlin fans have had to hear about turnovers forever from the cult of Angel. They have to eat this now.

Just deactivate her for the remainder of the season and have her focus on getting healthy.
 
I saw some Paige highlights last night too.

She's going to be the best to ever play the game of basketball, man or woman. Even when she's just chucking the ball to get rid of it, it goes in the hoop. And it's literally impossible to defend against her because she is faster than Superman.

All right, I have to ask - and I'm not trying to be mean to you or Sophie in any way here, I'm legitimately asking since I've seen this backdrop so many times - are these particular photos, like, Sophie's Outfit of the Day™ sponsored by TJ Maxx? Do all the Fever players do this, or just her?

If it's an actual ad campaign, I like it. If it's not, I like it, and it should be an actual ad campaign.

I knew somebody would jump on the whole Outfit of the Day/pregame outfit routine they do. Genius.

And yes, of course Sophie is adorable, but that goes without saying at this point.

I'm sure that with both CC and Reese likely out for that game, cooler heads will prevail on the Internet, and all of the takes on it will be calm and rational. 😏

Awe dang, didn't know about Angel's status. Thanks for the update.
With or with out CC , Fever ball is on my must see list.

The amount of crap A’ja Wilson gets away with is crazy.

Haven't seen the game, and the clip catches it pretty late. That looked to me like both A'ja and McBuckets were in the middle of a test of strength, and A'ja won.

I'm not sure that's worthy of a flagrant 2. Whatever they called (or didn't call) is fine with me. I'm just glad Phee didn't step on McBuckets' face on that jumper.

Paige has apparently had patellar tendinitis since high school, and with all of Dallas's injury woes, she's been playing a lot of minutes this season. I'm not 100% certain but am assuming that this is related to that.

It used to bother me in the NBA when the stars would just sit out, but it doesn't bother me in this situation. It really is insane to me that just because of how the schedule works out, these rookies play a full college season and then a full WNBA season back to back, with pretty much no rest in between. That's nuts.

Get all the rest you need, Paige.

Paige Bueckers Ruled Out vs Aces for Rest, Sparking Debate Among WNBA Fans

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Aces for rest. The reasoning has sparked debate online with some fan

Looks like LA beat NY in a thriller on Saturday. I should check that one out. Jonquel Jones has been tearing it up since she came back.

That Washington/Seattle box score from Saturday is crazy. Washington crushed them on the glass. Shakira Austin, Kiki, and Sonia all had double-digit rebounds.
