I got nervous until I learned that they also did this for the 2022 and 2023 All-Star Games. I'm fine with it as a gimmick for an exhibition game, but I don't want to see a four-point shot or four-point line in games that count anytime soon. Everybody will suddenly think they're Curry, Sab, CC...

By the way, to all the CC diehards here, look up "Courtney Williams Caitlin Clark" on YouTube when you get a chance. I think you'll like what you see. 👍

I love Court. :XXROFL: Knowing how she is in general and seeing her and Reese dap it up after she beat Reese off the dribble in one of their recent games, I feel like the framing here is likely inaccurate/exaggerated. Regardless, it's all in good, competitive fun IMO...

The injuries among W players are, sadly, not surprising to me. These ladies play a lot of basketball, and they play hard. For the vast majority of them, there is no offseason, because they need to make ends meet - so they play even more basketball overseas or in Unrivaled. The ones who get...

This is precisely what I was getting at in my second sentence. Like I said, no she's not an elite lockdown (one on one, stay in front of your opponent and stop them from scoring) defender. That being said, there are plenty of different aspects to defense. Forcing turnovers, even by roaming the...

Really nice win for Chicago against Minnesota the other day. They had to sweat it out all the way to the end and definitely earned it. Ariel Atkins, who I enjoyed watching in Washington, was lighting it up. Reese and Cardoso are both blossoming and evolving nicely as players and had great...

Just looked it up on WNBA.com. Reese leads in total turnovers. CC leads in turnovers per game.

I guess I'll watch the replay of the Indy/Connecticut game tomorrow, even though there shouldn't be much reason to. I couldn't care less about any potential drama between the players, and Connecticut's obviously just gonna get clobbered. I've only watched them a time or two this year. I'm gonna...

So, in other words, there is no difference, as I said and you predictably ignored. Good talk. 👍 CC should and surely absolutely will play in the game against Connecticut. As with all the other players, she's a grown woman who doesn't need our coddling or protection. It's up to the refs to keep...

You're gonna lose me every single time with the us vs. them talk, man. I'm not that invested. I know what I say will likely fall on deaf ears, but Marina is every bit the rabble-rouser that Sophie is, and from what I've seen, both of them normally just jump into the mix and talk some trash when...

Nah, that was just one game, man. Emotions were high on both sides, and players on both teams got carried away. I'm not here for that, but it can unfortunately happen when the refs get too lax with the whistle. Hopefully they'll actually enforce the rules and keep everybody on a tighter leash...

Y'all knew what I meant. I was so sad, I couldn't even type it out correctly. :( :lol2:

On a kinda related note, I've noticed that CC isn't involuntarily flailing like crazy anymore when she gets hit, like she did last season. Probably a combination of her getting used to all the contact and putting on some muscle this past offseason. 💪 I have to say, as a lover of good, clean...

Okay, my turn to eat some crow. After watching the last couple of games and actually looking for it, I finally get what you guys have been complaining about all this time with the lack of foul calls with CC. I was dumbfounded watching that sequence unfold in real time, before the replay, as...

Exactly. I've enjoyed watching CC play this year (and enjoyed it some last year even while I was going through it with some of you) because I'm a sucker for a true point guard. CC has fully embraced the facilitator side of her hybrid guard talents, and I'm here for it. Both CC and Paige are...

I'm glad that I stayed disciplined and didn't look at the score for the Indy/Dallas game or peek at this thread beforehand. If I had done that, I might not have bothered to watch it, and that would have been a mistake. Logo 3s are cool and all, but offensively, I just enjoy seeing good ball...

Debbie Antonelli pointed out the other day that CC actually leads Indiana in steals right now, so I think every day is a bad day for that narrative. She might not be an elite lockdown guard, but that's not her job, and she's perfectly capable of getting stops. I've watched her do it and have...

I could listen to Debbie Antonelli talk basketball all day long. She almost always teaches me something new or explains something in a way I hadn't thought about before, without coming across as patronizing or condescending. As someone who loves seeing good, clean defense, I appreciate this...

Speaking of the Valks, that Aces/Valks game must have been a banger. A'ja Wilson had 34 points and 16 boards, and Vegas needed every bit of that herculean effort to beat the Valks by 2 points.

Really fun game yesterday between Indy and Atlanta. Jordin Canada went OFF in that first half. I was glad to see Rhyne Howard return to the game in the second half after tweaking her knee somehow in the first half and having to be carried off the court. Rhyne is one of the players who was on my...
