So your statement is that 1) they made solid decisions in the off season, (again) to put more complimentary pieces around her, 2) putting her "off the ball" and having Boston and Hines-Allen bring the ball up court is a good decision, and plays to her strengths? Okay then'
As to the other statement, about her averaging being responsible for 39 points /GM (so around 35-40% of their offense), you do realize she had a bunch of games at Iowa (even playing with a 20+ points/GM AA in Monica) where she was responsible for in the 70's percentile, including several games in the NCAA tournament against some of the elite teams in college basketball. Even against S Carolina her rate was in the 70+% of offense generated. And no I don't think in an average game she's playing against better players then she did in those final 4 games the last two seasons. Sorry, but while there are certainly some really good players, (as there were at S Carolina, LSU, OSU etc..) there are a lot of really average players in the league as well.

I guess it depends what you're talking about.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of offended/motivated/jealous players she's competing against.
But I'm not sure how much more than that can be made of it. And certainly, we are hearing it made into much more
Here's another version for the other side in case anyone needs one:
Lolol.. right because Thomas needs "protection".......
So you don't think they should do what is best for the team, but rather they should do what you want to watch. Got it.
Having others bring the ball up at times is good coaching....it changes the looks the defense has to prepare for, it gives CC some rest w/ out having to take her off the floor and it saves the wear and tear on her when she is being guarded as physically as she typically is.
To think the level of competition in the F4 is anywhere close to what she faces in the W on a nightly basis is asinine. The players are better, stronger, more knowledgeable, and are playing for their livelihood.
I am glad you finally admitted this is all about your desire for the Fever to allow Clark to just run around doing what she wants and not being held accountable to the team in any way.
Super. and I'm glad your finally admitting that it makes sense that they had no responsibility to try to make use of her skills and build a roster around her which would maximize her talent. I'm sure your right though, because no championship team has ever done that. The only thing I want for Clark is that she gets a fair shot to play using her skills and not be hindered by poor roster construction, a league that can't get out of their own way, and refs who are either not up to the task or have some type of agenda. If you can't admit to many of those issues then your the one who's being asanine.
No need to bring Kelsey Mitchell into this.
You should have learned by now I couldn't care less, but hey, if you want to be "Legends" caddy and make it YOUR purpose here to correct grammatical and spelling errors then knock yourself out wasting your time with that. The A--hats on here that think that somehow contributes to the conversation is astounding. Do be you though.....
So in your supposed higher level of wisdom maybe you can shed some light. Lets set CC aside because the basic idea really has nothing to do with her specifically. In major sports leagues, or in business do the "generational " players, stars, or "cash cows" get special treatment? Do they get perks from their employer above those they work with? Do they try to build teams around them that make the best use of their special talent? Do they not only get the benefit of the doubt, but are decisions made by their teams or businesses not tilted to ensure the best outcome for them to succeed? (Hell in many cases like Jordan, Lebron they have a major say in the decisions that are made). The same thing in corporate America. Is it your position that any of that has happened for Clark from the Fever organization, the WNBA itself. the players assoc, or the leagues refs? All of these groups (even the refs who are probably being paid better now) have benefited greatly both in exposure and financial measures, since she was drafted three years ago. True or false?
As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday . . .
now she's not at practice. and now her "union" is not having her back. sophie supposedly not practicing too. CC and sophie are gonna go rogue like thelma and louise!! somebody needs to make that meme if they have not already.
That is ottumwan's area of expertise.
Again, I'm not sure how this ends other than it won't end well for the CC/Fever/SW marriage. Best case scenario is CC returns, doesn't miss many more games, and the Fever go on a title run. That has literally no chance of happening.
Instead, the likeliest scenario is CC returns off and on, the Fever finish the year fighting to make the playoffs (not guaranteed by any means), drama continues on all fronts, and we go into the offseason in limbo where it's gonna get real ugly.

Clark out recovering with the back injury. Sophie out for illness. (Or is Sophie out for a Sickspension?) You decide.

AT comments today are interesting. No accountability. No responsibility. Then she weaponizes Twitter to paint herself (and others) as victims.
I'm shocked I tell you.
Did anyone really expect differently from her?

Sophie had been afflicted with BackDownItis and will get better soon.
Per..................................................................................................................................?
The worst, and most insidious if not downright sinister, part is the reframing of WNBas biggest problem as “racist” fans rather than the incompetent officiating and egregiously physical brand that is dangerous to all players. Now Cathy will be forced fo address a manufactured problem rather than the real problem.
I’m confused. She is an American of African descent. Isn’t that the very definition of “African-American”?
Please explain why she is not “African-American”.
you must be new here…… he’s baiting you
Alyssa Thomas I presume...
