I'm not insinuating that Wilson doesn't deserve MVP of League but Collier becoming only the second one to accomplish 50/40/90 is very impressive.. only Della Donne has done it before..

Both Wilson and Collier have good cases to be named MVP, The award can't capture one important nuance. Collier was hands down the MVP in the first half of the season (and before her injury) and the same can be said for Wilson during the 2nd half of the season.

Collier has her historic stat line in her favor plus I think there is an impetus to name someone new to the MVP. On the downside, no MVP has ever missed as many games as Collier did this season.

Wilson led a historic closing run to the season and she averages more points, rebounds, and blocks than Collier plus a lot of 30+ double-doubles this season.

I think the momentum seems to be leading toward Collier but if I had a vote, I would go Wilson.

Sophie Cunningham Ignites Feud With Caitlin Clark's Rival Angel Reese As Her Time In Chicago Hits New Low​


Sophie Cunningham has hit out at Angel Reese for threatening to quit the Chicago Sky, telling her fellow WNBA player there are 'some things that you can't say'.

Reese was forced to issue a groveling apology to her teammates last week after saying she 'might have to move in a different direction and do what's best for me' after Chicago failed to make the playoffs for a second straight year.

On the latest episode of her 'Show Me Something' podcast with Bravo personality West Wilson, Cunningham took aim at Reese and stressed that she would 'always put the team before my feelings'.

'It’s not great,' the Indiana Fever star told Wilson. 'There’s just some things that you can’t say.

'I’m a very team first type of person. I always put the team before my feelings and I think that should be a standard. You got to protect your locker room.'

I'm highly impressed by what the Fever has managed to accomplish, taking the first series in the playoffs, without some of their top players. Good for them.

That is impressive. The Dream looked like a real contender going into the playoffs. Fever's first play off series win a loooong time.

The Fever is going to have reconsider Clark's role. A lot of evidence to suggest they have been better without her (not a dig at Clark but how she has been used).

With Clark, the Fever's offense seemed designed first and foremost to let Clark put up eye popping stats. Without her, the Fever have better ball movement, a more diversified attack and fewer TOs. Plus, it turns out the analytics on shooting 20% from the logo are not that great (even if it gets fans excited).

When Clark comes back, White needs to integrate her into this system (where CC can be a net asset) but not go back to world where Clark has the ball in her hands for 70% of the time, generates a ton of TOs and takes statistically bad shots just because logo 3s are her "trademark."

[Last night, Aja Wilson 38 points in an elimination game to help the Aces advance.]

Agreed. Mitchell is too good not to have the ball in her hands quite a bit. She has become one of my favorite players and has been the key to their good season.

Liberty gets knockout of playoffs. I hate to see it.😏😏😏

I feel for Ellie the elephant! The Liberty started the season like they were going to steam roll everyone and even added Meeserman for more punch but they struggled over the 2nd half of the season and those problems carried over to the playoffs.

The Aces have the opposite trajectory and are suddenly looking like they may be the team (as long as Wilson keeps playing like the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain !!!) . I think it will be a Lynx vs. Aces final. I feel like the Lynx have more margin of error and will prevail in a series that will likely go 7 games.
