***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

[TJ8869]

The T makes me nervous because I'm catching the Fever and Lynx game with my daughter.

As an added bonus for you and your daughter, Phee is back now and looking pretty good. She had 24 points and 10 rebounds in just 22 minutes last night.

When she’s healthy she is arguably the best player in the world, even better than A’ja. If Clark is able to play, that is going to be a fun matchup to watch.

Here's coach with a break down on Clark's offensive skills. Incredible how she can still break down defenses when she has parasites attached to her all game long. Nobody else in this sham of a league gets guarded this way, and I'm using the word "Guarded" loosely. Look at the defender at 3:45 hugging the s--t out of Clark until she finally breaks free. SMH.

CC is going to miss multiple games because she can't control her outbursts.

One more tech she gets suspended, then every two more techs after that.

Worst part of her game…not being able to STFU.

 

[Tom Paris]

I'm in absolutely no condition to drive but I think I could ref a WNBA game...just sayin

Try reffing a high school scrimmage and you will quickly see how difficult officiating basketball actually is. I hate having to do it.

 

[Tom Paris]

That one really wasn't an outburst. (at least not directed at the refs. ). Rivers fouled her, (no call made) then their center fouled her, and they called the foul. Then Rivers made some gesture at Clark like she was faking it, and Clark went back at Rivers. Hopefully after the first suspension she'll back off a bit, but like I said, it is what it is. She's done taking crap from opponents. And yes they will be baiting her....

I’m fine with her standing up for herself to opponents. Love it.

Most of her techs come from acting like a jerk to refs. They are sick of her yelling at them. Speak respectfully or be suspended. She needs to figure it out.

These polls are always a little goofy and flawed but I'm still entertained by them nonetheless

I love the random Stewie hate in Utah.

And what the hell did A'ja do to the NE states?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Good luck for the Lynx game.

If everyone is playing, should be a heck of a game. Phee is back and they've done well without her...

And what the hell did A'ja do to the NE states?

Chennedy Carter getting most hated In both Hawaii and West Virginia is pretty funny to me.

A'ja and the NE kind of makes sense with the Aces/Liberty (Stewie) rivalry.

Raegan Beers.

CC and Rivers both got Ts. Both should be rescinded. That was a big nothing.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Franisdaman]

This is great.

 

[KurtWarner]

Awesome of Beers, fock them other clowns

 

[KurtWarner]

Is it me or does rivers really look like a guy moving out there. Actually he/she moves like Michael Jordan. I'm being dead serious

Luckily "Bob" Griner took the night off. Talk about dudes playing in the women's game.....

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

And nice job by the Sun organization, AND their coach. Oh, shoot, he's a french national and probably doesn't give two hoots about the anthem

Not this **** again

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Not this **** again

Not this **** again

What **** exactly? So these players can't even be present during the national anthem? Say what you want. Don't care....

 

[Hawk48]

Awesome of Beers, fock them other clowns

they can all move out of the country and will not be missed by anybody. wnba is trash and not getting any better.

Most of her techs come from acting like a jerk to refs. They are sick of her yelling at them. Speak respectfully or be suspended. She needs to figure it out.

Three of the seven came from yelling at the refs…that’s not “most”. Nearly all of her technicals would not have been called against other players (like the clapping, like the scoreboard comment, like the delay of game for trying to use her foot to get the ball back to the official).

 

[Legend12]

When she’s healthy she is arguably the best player in the world, even better than A’ja.

People also argue that the earth is flat.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Is 70 in one half a lot?

 

[Ludd]

Try reffing a high school scrimmage and you will quickly see how difficult officiating basketball actually is. I hate having to do it.

I’ve done it for both boys and girls games…girls games were much easier because it doesn’t move as fast. The WNBA officials should be doing a much better job than they are.

 

[oldhawk56]

Which is why that certain portion of CC fans need to realize that they are the reason people have a problem with CC

You know that's also a perception problem too? "They" are pissed that anyone DARE call a skinny white farm kid THE goat? And the more the haters hated the more the CC fans doubled down. (Are some of them over the top? Yes.. it's sports soo WTF)
Sheryl Swoopes may have been the poster child for the ignorance of many of the haters.

 

[oldhawk56]

Sure, and MAYBE they should actually call the fouls and the holds....

They know the odds of that happening and they like those odds..i would too

 

[TJ8869]

People also argue that the earth is flat.

The difference is that my argument has some merit. Hop in the wayback machine and set the dials for one year ago.

Collier was named Western Conference Player of the Month in May and in June and again in July. There was significant chatter around the league that she was the leading contender for MVP.

On August 2 the Lynx went to Las Vegas and humiliated the Aces on their home court by 53 points. It was the largest margin of victory by a visiting team in league history. The Lynx held Wilson to just 10 points and 5 rebounds. They ran their record to 24-5 while the Aces dropped to 14-14.

Unfortunately Collier injured her ankle late in the third quarter after putting up 18 points. That injury caused her to miss 3 weeks. She came back for the final 7 games of the regular season. But then in the semifinal round of the playoffs, Alyssa Thomas ran through her like Jay Higgins and completely shredded her ankle.

Prior to those two injuries one could make a very valid argument that Collier was the best female basketball player on this spherical planet.

 

[oldhawk56]

Since the Pissott "reveal" game:

2 Games played, 1 DNP-CD
24 Mins
2 Points
1-8 FGs
0-6 3PT
1 Reb
1 Ast

LV: 1-2
IND: 4-1

Ok now do Dontas contribution

 

[oldhawk56]

Hopefully Clark can get a successful appeal bc that's a weak *** T.

Funny AF though.

Holy **** can you imagine the haters losing their tiny minds if that happened?

 

[oldhawk56]

The T makes me nervous because I'm catching the Fever and Lynx game with my daughter. Before I was concerned with her being injured....

Now if she picks up her #8 T in the Portland game right before the Lynx.... I assume she is suspended for that next game.... No delaying the suspension or anything?

Just go get #8 at Seattle, then sit against Portland, so you can play against the Lynx.

If the WNBA was smart they'd switch to fines only for Techs....

It's a genius move to suspend players for too many Techs.... When techs are handed out for pretty minor incidents. LOL

The whole team needs to be on Caitlin watch.. you can see her start to go. Grab her *** and run her out of there..

While Clark is getting an extended "Welcome to my world defense" at 3:45, look at the Front Office reaction to it Friggin' statues. LMAO. Lynn Dunn looking like, "Well, hello dear". LMFAO.

So the other FOUR were incidents with opposition? Ok. Thanks for correcting me.

I'm not saying the job is easy but in a professional league it should be much better than it is in the W

 

[oldxbbc]

Have a question. Coached HS for 27 years and still follow NBA and WNBA closely. Last night when CC and Rivers? got a double Technical, Mitchell hit a three pointer and was fouled. After the dust settled Mitchell was awarded 2 attempts to make 1. She made the first and game continued. Have never seen that before. Anybody??
