Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another time around the merry-go-round. I knew you had it in you
Avoiding facts is a good approach in your situation. Go back to using your opinion on defense. It doesn’t require you being factually accurate. Roll out your
‘I spoke to eyes and eyes agrees with me so it is true’ it is chuckle worthy

CC is a great player, but one of the most histrionic professional athletes I've ever seen. Can she not throw her hands up, clap aggressively, or gesture wildly after the end of a play? Just once? It's really getting old.

Reese may be the most unathletic and awkward-looking "professional" athlete I've ever seen. There are some smooth players in the league, but she's the poster child for why it's a bit of a joke. Well, her and the officials.
Have you seen how many players in the WNBA do this? Most of them. I'll tell you what she doesn't do, slap the clipboard out of her coach's had and pull other players down to the ground by their hair.

I get it. For many Iowa fans she's untouchable. It's the 3rd rail you must stay away from. I agree that the league in general is a joke. She's not doing much to set herself apart (above) from it with her constant rants on the court.

Not saying she's untouchable, just saying most players in the WNBA have the same reactions when they're called for a foul, or don't get a foul called that they think should've been. They all throw their arms up and complain to the refs and ask their coaches for a review. I'm not a fan of any of it either. But for some reason CC is the only one that gets called out for doing it.

She's certainly not the only one who complains about calls, but her frequency and intensity stands out.

Watching the Lynx today and I think I've seen them maybe 3 times this year. When they get Collier back they are going to be tough to beat. Natasha Howard is having a great year and add in Olivia Miles who looks like she should have been the #1 pick in the draft I think they are the team to beat.

Yes and No. There's some of it sure. But CC stands out.
Even if you only watch fever games you will see the opposing team do it just like her. There is also that ****** smirk they do when called for fouling Caitlin like there is some special whistle. Which amuses me because I feel for some reason they allow a lot more contact against her than others. Kind of like the refs rarely calling fouls against guys trying to guard Shaq back in the day.

Agree. They're going to be very tough. Losing Natasha Howard was a big loss for the Fever. Billings not filling those shoes yet.

But as we've seen, CC can be an actual liability on the ball. And on the ball is by far the most important defensive category
Anyone when can be a liability on the ball if they’re left on an island. Look at the two times Raven tried to guard the point guard the last game…the point guard went right by her for easy layups.

Yes, some players with high steal numbers are good defenders. I've only said that steals isn't the best indicator.

No, CC doesn't gamble too much. But again, arguing for CC's overall D, says it all.

In no way have I tried to bring CC down. I'm only commenting on the fans that live in fantasy land, when it comes to her
Overall, her defense is average. She’s better than some and worse than others, but this new narrative that she’s some horrible defensive player is a lot of nonsense. It’s hard to iso against one particular player in some defensive schemes, unfortunately White’s defensive scheme is not one of those.

You're definitely correct. I've watched them numerous times and they're impressive. Miles is a revelation. Just didn't think she would be this good. She's already one of the best point guards in the league.
