WNBA

Unrivaled tips off tonight on TNT Sports and B/R Sports on Max.

Our girl isn't participating in Unrivaled, but our other girl Lexie🔥 will be in action tonight, as will Aayliah Boston.

It’s not a full court.

I’m watching ASA racing.
Sorry, I didn't mean "a full court" as in a WNBA-sized court. I meant simply "full court," meaning each team scores at a different end of the court, on different baskets, rather than half court, where both teams use the same basket, like in Olympic 3x3.

I Googled it again to confirm, and yes, Unrivaled plays full court, not half court.
 
Maybe you watched the wrong game, @HoneyBadger. This one looks like it was pretty good!



This is exactly what I was hoping Unrivaled would be - essentially, full court pickup basketball. With only three players on the floor for each team, it opens things up a lot more.

Though I may not be watching it, I'm glad this league exists. ^_^

Not my cup of tea. Besides I was only gonna watch 10 minutes before turning the ASA race on anyway.

If Caitlin was out there, my interest probably would have been quadrupled.

Okay, I actually take my wrong game comment back. The game you peeked in on for 10 minutes or less looks like it was good, too. Lexie's team was down big at one point but almost came back. I could watch Kah Copper work all day. 💪



To each their own, but based on these highlights, Unrivaled definitely isn't like 3x3. I just cancelled my TV service and refuse to sign back up for it or any other subscription service right now purely on principle, but if I already had said service, I would watch this league for sure. I'll have to keep an eye out for more highlights.
 
Angel's growth in Unrivaled, combined with the comments about how much she's leaning on her teammates to learn, might be the most damning indictment of the Chicago Sky organization I've seen yet.
 

Chennedy Carter is out at Chicago.

Make no mistake, Angel Reese IS the Chicago Sky franchise now.
Interesting stuff in there. Chennedy and Spoon were tight, so I'm not surprised that she's leaving now that Spoon is gone.

I started out liking Chicago because of Marina, Angel, and Spoon. Over the course of the season, I got to see what a complete hot mess they are as an organization, and I stopped following them shortly after Marina got traded to Connecticut. They've gotta get it together.

Chennedy Carter is a headcase and a well documented locker room cancer, so they're probably better off long term without her.

I'm not gonna psychoanalyze the young lady or anything, but either way, Chicago has bigger problems than Chennedy Carter or any other individual players. Bringing in that Aces assistant as their head coach was a good move, but the fish rots from the head down.

They've lost so many good players in recent years after winning the championship with Candace Parker in 2021. I'm definitely not saying that I could do a better job running things, but they're just a hot mess as an organization. There's no other way for me to describe them, and there's no easy fix for it. At the very least, they are the textbook definition of a work in progress.
