WNBA discussion thread?

😂 I thought maybe I was being silly for thinking that, but you get it, too. Not a fan of that. Also highly disappointed in the player Teira McGowan has turned out to be. She should be dominating, but she isn't. And I think Griner has only been a good, but never truly a great (IMO) pro player and I really thought she had a chance of becoming the W's Wilt Chamberlain with the wingspan she has -- and the sickening way she dominated Tennessee as a collegiate player. That girl ate our freakin' lunch, every time, and then had the audaciity to just be a slightly above average post in the W?! It ticks me off, honestly.
There's a clip of JJ sitting on the court kicking her feet like a toddler in a tantrum but I couldn't find it tonight. Also that clip shows Stewie and Sabrina literally pushing JJ off the court and onto the bench after that little display I don't think that was a healthy locker room this year at all. That may have had a lot to do with Sandy's firing.

You're right, Mcgowan has also been a petulant toddler and never really played up to her potential B.G. is really becoming an afterthought in Atlanta, mainly because Bree Jones has played so well. I would not be surprised to see B.G. retire very soon. The game gotten a little faster than she's willing to keep up with.

The JJ tantrum thing does not surprise me at all. Ugh. *smh*

I agree about BG likely retiring soon. In these last couple of seasons I've cut her all the slack I ever had available because 1. She's a past-her-prime-aged player, and 2. The ordeal she endured in a Russian work camp, not knowing the entire time whether she'd ever get home again, was so horrific that I have viewed this time since she has been back as Grace Time. I expect little to nothing from her at this point, and I actually regularly praise the Dream org for giving her this opportunity to fade out at her own pace. That was a kind thing for Atlanta to do, and I am happy they did it.

All that said, my statements earlier about being disappointed she didn't become the female Wilt that I'd predicted she would, ONLY took into consideration all the seasons BEFORE her traumatic experiences in a freezing-cold Russian hard-labor camp. Jeez... anyone who'd hoped she would lead the Dream to a championship had to have been more that just a little naive about the physical, emotional and psychological toll an ordeal like that would have on a person. I viewed it as a minor miracle she was able to suit up for the Dream at all, and I applaud her for giving it a shot. 🥹
 
Phoenix is one of my least favorite teams and Thomas is by far one of my least favorite players. Her brand of bully ball is making the league unwatchable and unrefable. Oth, the Lynx are one of my favorite teams and Phee one of m favorite players. That said, I agree with the post below. I don't think this was a foul; in fact, if anything Phee stuck her leg out to try to inhibit Thomas's progress. Hate that she got injured, and she did get battered all night. But not on this one

Cheryl Reeve Came all the way unglued and all the way onto the floor. Also went off in the post game press conference. Predictably she's not just fined but suspended for the next game.

When I first about Reeves going off, I thought that Thomas had added Collins to her notorious list of cheap shots to take out star players, ala CP3. But this one did look more like a legit basketball and Phee just got caught in a bad position.
