WNBA discussion thread?

very competitive game between wings and fever. Boston looks like a different player at probably 15 To 20 pounds lighter. CC and PB had similar stat lines but Paige was way more efficient as Clarke continued her poor 3 point shooting and TO woes from last year (albeit an injury limited season).

Paige is the better of the two skill wise she can score at all 3 levels and CC has no mid range game
 
It's been a wild start to the season already. Definitely seeing much tighter reffing and the inevitable parade to the free throw line. But I'm not mad at it, it is over correction but it had to happen. Hopefully things will settle out at a midpoint between the wrestling match and the free throw parade.

Really enjoyed the Wings/ fever game, the Wings are so much better this year. And I agree PB is the better player right now. In addition to the other problems already cited, CC Is just way too fragile. Said she had to go into the tunnel and get her back readjusted a couple of times today.

Sure didn't see the Aces getting hammered at their ring ceremony at all. The Mercury really got their get back today. Pros are weird how dominant they can look one game and how ordinary the next.

Also didn't see the Dream almost losing to the Lynx. Tough loss for MN. Tough first game in Atlanta for AR, she just cannot hit a layup or free throw and the form remains awful. She can, however, still rebound the hell out of the ball. And she does have Howard and Alicia Gray to do this scoring.

Chicago Sky toyed with their food a bit before putting away the Portland expansion team. It was messy at times but they are without two or three starters., Diggins, Cardoso and Rickea all scored well and all hit many free throws. Rickea was still not very efficient, but was so much more active and freed up. I think this is really going to work out well for her. Had 19 points 7 rebounds assists and a block. Hit eight of 10 free throws which is going to mean a ton this year.

Rae gets the start Tomorrow for the Sparks. Hope she does well.
 
I understand taking care of the ball at the PG position but did everyone know the greatest NBA PG ever Magic Johnson averaged 4 turnovers per game in his career? Tied with Russell Westbrook for most per game in history of NBA.

Magic averaged 11.2 assists vs. 3.9 turnovers, while Caitlin is currently at 8.5 assists vs. 5.4 turnovers for her career. So she would shatter the NBA (and I assume WNBA but can't find it) turnovers record

The point is the PG will always commit turnovers, the hatred by Vol fans is humorous as hell... But carry on for the day .
 
Plus another double double for Angel Reese in her first game with Atlanta (50th of her career).
She she also blocked Minnesotas last attempt. Defensively Angel is a wonder. But her continued offensive struggles are baffling, especially since I know she works on them.
What a difference a coach makes! José has them playing real basketball, and the players appreciate his work.
To be fair they also have much better players around PB now. Jess Shepherd, who I previously dissed, had a really good game for them. Plus Arike was the good Arike, which makes a tremendous difference.

Meanwhile, the number one draft pick not only did not start, also didn't play all that much and was a complete non factor. That is going to be a very interesting situation going forward.
