    What GM is taking Paige over CC? it was clear she was going #2 last year when she should have declared

    Just depends on what you're looking for. Paige isn't ever going to be as flashy or score as much as Clark because she's not a gunner. She's going to be more well rounded and efficient.

    And why should she have declared the year before? She was just a year removed from her injury and had unfinished business at Uconn.

    It's also dumb and unproductive to compare the two and reeks of the stupid who's better debates on the men's side. They're both extremely talented players.

    The good news for Dallas they got a couple games vs Chicago coming up.

    That team is trash... well both are. Arike has been awful for Dallas so far and I don't know what the hell the Sky are doing. Common denominator is both have a bunch of new players and coaches. Gotta hope they just need more time together.

    10 turnovers with a +6 +/- is wild

    Bonner is a shell of herself. I expected a slight decline since she was no longer the focal point of the offense but not like this.

    if it's Reese, the Sky. they'll never let her go, she's practically the entire brand at this point, good and bad. but Cardoso I could definitely see, sure. plant Reese underneath, let Arike shoot like she's doing a re-enactment of Kobe's retirement game and just see what happens. they desperately need some kind of actual offensive threat.

    I could also see us wait this season out and get a high lotto pick in the ‘26 draft and go fishing in FA this offseason with EVERYONE being a FA

    Same can’t be said for Chicago with the Lynx owning the swap rights for their pick this season and the Mystics owning it in ‘27

    Did the WNBA ever provide an update to the Game 1 investigation? if that was all based on a Twitter troll and they are too embarrassed to admit it

    She’s never been an explosive athlete other than her top end speed, but I thought she looked sluggish this year and had difficulty gaining separation off the ball

    she did supposedly have an quad injury in TC that caused her to miss on preseason game but supposedly this is a new injury

    even though it looks like not the same injury it was probably dumb to rush her in the pre season to play that game at Iowa.

    some of us just enjoy watching her play but paint that broad brush.

    there are plenty of toxic comments that get posted in the NBA they just don’t get get constantly highlighted and given attention.

    And no, all NBA reply guys are not degenerate gamblers nor are all CC fans white nationalists, but pretending they are the same thing is stupid.

    Aja has a pretty nasty crew that rides for her.

    Delores should be in a mental institution.

    But it really doesn’t do us any good to come in here and post all the garbage that’s out there. Plenty of good stuff in the league we can all enjoy without having to wallow in the filth.

    Liz had a great night. 5/8 shooting for 11 points, 5 boards, 2 blocks, 2 steals in 15 minutes. she's being brought along slowly on purpose but it might be difficult for Becky to continue waiting if Stokes simultaneously keeps underperforming.

    I've literally never heard anyone in the same breath express support for Aja Wilson and also talk about anti-white racism in the WNBA or talk about which WNBA players "have dicks", or express the single most white-savior-coded narrative in sports; that all the other players in the league owe CC a debt of gratitude for bringing more eyes and money to the sport. Also, and I haven't looked into this, so I'm willing to own this if I'm wrong, but I have frequently heard she surrounds herself with a bunch of MAGA crackers. Certainly her close friendship with Dave Portnoy is suspect.

    the only sign of politics from CC I remember is her liking a Kamala Harris endorsement post from Taylor Swift, the rest of your rant looks like terminally online wnba twitter brain rot

    Not a portnoy fan… is there more to him/cc than him showing up at some games and being a fan of hers? Can’t say I recall them having any interactions?

    Never understand the drama with Caitlin and the other players. Didn’t she endorse Joe Biden before the election? It’s not like she’s some Trumper.

    She liked a Kamala post but no real endorsement

    and its not about Caitlin. Its the type of people that tend to flock to her. She has made some general vague PC statements in the past year or so saying she doesn’t endorse the hate towards the african american players in the league. I mean Aliyah Boston had to delete her socials last season due to the racism she received after their slow start.

    Boston also has people calling her an Uncle Tom in her comments. Sucks because she seems like a really good person.
