    I’m not arguing. Just saying that the majority of people who don’t like her will still flex that they ultimately lost the game, regardless of her stat line.

    Clark had a golden opportunity to pick Reese and maybe try to reduce some of the toxicity out there and chose not to do it. :shocker:

    Her push offs are pretty ridiculous. I watched the second half and she basically does it every drive. Also, the amount of physicality the refs allow on the perimeter is insane compared to the ticky tacky shit they call in the post. No consistency whatsoever.

    At this point I have to assume Clark banged your dad or something.

    She can drain threes (sometimes) and fuck God. Impressive

    He’s upset that she didn’t end racism by picking angel reese for her all star team :roll:

    Her fanbase is the most toxic fanbase in sports and she does nothing to distance herself from them and does nothing to attempt to abridge the immense amount of hatred they direct at Angel Reese. All of this, and she's wildly overrated on top of it. What is not to dislike?

    There is dislike, then there is whatever you display itt toward her that exceeds an unhealthy obsession.

    He certainly is. Its really cherry picking the most extreme.

    Calling those who use her as an avatar for thier racist bullshit as her fanbase is some dirty work. Especially when she has made statements about wanting nothing to do w them.

    Regarding her and Reese - they clearly dont like each other. Im Team Angel but expecting Clark to pick her for the All Star team is hilarious.

    Also think calling he wildly over rated is hyperbole too. But that is more subjective. She's has played like shit for most of the year tho.

    Nah, this is just reality. Her fanbase REALLY sucks...and it's 100 percent appropriate to call them that since like it or not, it's what drives a lot of her popularity. As has been stated before, I was a fan of hers since her frosh year and I can't stand the narrative around her anymore and that's primarily because of her fan base and the media coverage.

    Now, I don't blame her for that nor do I think she has to do more than she's done to combat it...but, she's been closer to neutral than proactive in making it clear she wants nothing to do with those folks.

    She doesn't owe Angel anything. Angel needs to take responsibility for stirring the pot and trolling and it's not Clark's responsibility to protect her from shit she's helped create. That doesn't excuse the clearly racist shit that comes her way but that's not on Clark.

    Her current play has been garbage, so she has been a bit overrated this year, especially when folks where already putting her on GOAT Rushmore for the WNBA.

    She’s had injury issues since the pre season then the whole Bonner mess. I would wait till she at least plays 10 straight games w the same lineup to write her off.

    why are they playing Noon games on a Wednesday?

    Summer camp games.

    The year the Sky won the Championship, I made it to a few of those. Was pretty cool to see the kids go nuts. Also when I really got into the league.

    I think were mostly on the same page. But Jesus tone is placing the blame for all the racist shit at Clark's feet. Which is what I find most ridiculous.

    I'm also tired of the narrative. Which is why I get annoyed that most of the convo itt about that, more than the actual games.

    all the dunking on her is how it goes but for a little context her minutes are down since the groin injury. Coach White has kept her minutes in the 20s the first few games back, no game over 30 minutes.

    watched some of the 2nd half last night and she looked a little more like herself facilitating the ball, shot is still broken though.

    Literally no one would say this. Paige has been the golden child since she was in middle school. Rightfully so.

    But this counter narrative there's a group out there eager for Paige to fail, the same way there is for CC is a fantasy.

    Pitting all these players against each other for clicks and Twitter clout is so bogus.

    she’s got no lateral mobility at all right now.

    off the ball is just a mess. She can’t cut or move to get open

    I was about to comment how theyve gone from unwatchable to a fun team.

    On top of it starting to click for Reese, they found a little something w Banham and Atkins

    Clearly. She's trying to rip the ball away and accidentally turns into her.
