It was a tough first game for the Fever. The shooting was terrible. Mitchell was the only player who could make anything and even she was only 1-4 from three. Lexi had some wide open shots, but finished 3-13 FG.. The Fever were 2-15 from three overall. They still had the Dream lead down to 5 at the end of the third quarter, but they couldn't sustain it. A bad stretch midway through the second quarter and another early in the 4th quarter lost the game for them. At least they get to play a home game this year.

The fact that they are playing 3 women they picked up the last month of the season ( and 1 of those actually playing point) they’ve stayed pretty competitive. Atlanta a bad match up for them in general. Big guards and a stocky (being nice, think Rick Mahorn) front line plus zero depth behind Boston, who of course got some cheap ****** fouls yesterday. While obviously they’d do better with CC they need more beef up front for sure. Both Lexi and Cunningham should be 18-20 minute players ideally.

The Fever are very sloppy so far. They aren't even getting shots up.

On the positive side, the defense is pretty good.

It sure isn't a pretty game. Both teams are struggling to get good shots. AB got called for a bs foul again. Bri Jones is a big load and AB has to carry her around all game.

These girls are allowed to mug Boston the entire game and yet she runs into wide load Jones and she gets the foul. And the explanation on that Howard foul was ridiculous.

Imagine that.

I will never forget someone saying that "to be accepted into the WNBA, you need to Black, OR a lesbian OR an activist, and preferably all 3."

Paige is 2 of the 3.

Caitlin is 0 of 3 (granted, she did bring up her "white privilege" and she did wear a "pay us what you owe us" shirt).

In this ESPN article from Feb 2017, Candice Wiggins said players were particularly hostile toward her because she was heterosexual, and that they were also jealous of her popularity. Sound familiar?

Wiggins also claimed that the WNBA has a "very, very harmful" bullying culture.

Not much has changed, has it? This $#it that CC experiences has been going on for a long time now.
