Not a surprise to see them advance, obviously, but it's good to see that Sabrina bounced back in this series after going through a pretty tough set of regular season games at the end there.Liberty advance in the playoffs. Lonescu has 36 points and 9 assists tonight.
Yeah, in slow motion, this looks very intentional. And I'd expect nothing less from Dijonai Carrington, especially since she's been super vocal about her hatred for Caitlin Clark and fans. This is why I say the Fever need an enforcer, especially when they're playing against cheap shot artists like Chennedy Carter and Dijonai Carrington. And this is exactly what A'ja Wilson is talking about when she says these players just get the **** beaten out of them every game.
Clark echoed Carrington’s comments.
“It wasn’t intentional by any means,” she said. “Just watch the play.”
Everything looks worse in super slow motion. The players obviously don't move at that speed. This wasn’t intentional. Don't take it from the guy who happens to like one of the players you hate, though. Take it from the girl who actually got inadvertently poked in the eye, one of several players who has been inadvertently poked in the eye this season:
Caitlin Clark, DiJonai Carrington shut down idea that Game 1 eye poke was intentional: ‘Just watch the play’
“I don’t even know why I would intend to hit anybody in the eye.”sports.yahoo.com
That's neither here nor there. Caitlin was asked a question about an inadvertent eye poke, and she answered it. You calling her a liar?When has Caitlin Clark ever badmouthed another player or accused them of being malignant? LOL.

Yeah, it could have been a flagrant on DiJonai there. I just don't think it was intentional, particularly given the statements from both the poker and the pokee. Looked like DiJonai had her eyes on the ball to me. I'm assuming the part about Caitlin is a joke/trash talk since I haven't actually watched the game. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Still two games back. I'm getting there.)(Clark and Carrington both should’ve gotten F1s for shots to the face on Sunday)
I don’t think it was intentional, but it was unnecessary so I think an F1 was warranted. There was another incident later in the game where Clark swung her arm and knocked Carrington’s contacts out. Neither incident resulted in a foul…that’s WNBA officiating for you. I don’t think that one was intentional either, but it was certainly foul-worthy. I’ll see if I can find it.Yeah, it could have been a flagrant on DiJonai there. I just don't think it was intentional, particularly given the statements from both the poker and the pokee.

The fact that all most folks out there are talking about with regard to the first game is a foul on Caitlin doesn't surprise me, but I hope people end up talking about tonight's game as a whole afterwards. Like I said earlier, adjustments will be made. The question is, will they be enough? You'll see, and I'll see eventually.

This is terrible quality but seems to be the only clip of it circulating:I don’t think it was intentional, but it was unnecessary so I think an F1 was warranted.

Ahh, never mind. "Haha" retracted and changed to a "Like." As frequently seems to be the case, I agree with you.I don’t think it was intentional, but it was unnecessary so I think an F1 was warranted.

Laughing because of the aforementioned bad quality and the brief moment of absolute wildness revealed when the camera panned over to them. LOL. Definitely not enough info there. I'll see the game for myself soon enough, but I'm sure I'll agree with you.This is terrible quality but seems to be the only clip of it circulating:

All well and good, but fouls need to be called as fouls. Some physicality is certainly expected but the fact that neither of those incidents were called even a common foul is nuts to me. Can’t just have players whacking each other in the head/face without a whistle.Laughing because of the aforementioned bad quality and the brief moment of absolute wildness revealed when the camera panned over to them.

Like I've said before, this is a physical league, man. In terms of contact, it's definitely closer to the '90s NBA than to the modern NBA, and again, it always has been. Your (the general "your") favorite's gonna get touched out there, no matter who they are, and no, it's not always intentional. They just have to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and shoot their free throws if the contact was actually a foul, as they do.
If you're gonna stick around and follow the W, you have to develop some sort of understanding of that. The players who are going out there and taking these hits certainly have that understanding. Given all the accidental eye pokes I've seen just this season alone, I definitely see why Allisha Gray wears those goggles. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that more players aren't wearing them.
12-2 run after this comment. lolThis team, collectively, was not ready for the moment.
That most recent possession where the whole team just stood around watching Fagbenle try to go 1-on-1 in the post with the shot clock winding down was just pathetic.
Again, I agree with you 100%. We're on the same wavelength. I said "if it gets called as a foul" precisely because we know how these refs can be at times. I'm surprised that those two hits weren't called as fouls at all. From what I've seen, typically any hard contact like that above the shoulders has been called as a flagrant regardless of intent.All well and good, but fouls need to be called as fouls. Some physicality is certainly expected but the fact that neither of those incidents were called even a common foul is nuts to me.

I think that like somebody said on Reddit, in a more eloquent, elegant fashion, it's the unfortunate downside of all the increased popularity/buzz. When you become more popular, you inevitably attract more of the dregs. Just gotta continue to enjoy and tune out the noise. It is what it is.I saw the threat against Carrington just now.
I’ll say it again, the WNBA had all year to stand up to this crap.
It’s a shame that a bunch of MAGA culture warriors on the right and a bunch of race baiters ruined this league for everyone.
