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

I honest to god don’t know how y’all go through life hating her. She’s fun as hell. Ball go up, you don’t know where it’s gonna go!
I wouldn't use the word "Hate". I would say that we are amused by her shot misdirection.
I used to think AR's problems stemmed from a lack of coordination or not maintaining eye contact with the rim throughout the shot, but now I wonder if she's focusing too much on "Me" and the moment, rather than just the play at hand. She even talked about overthinking too many times.

Yes, her "brain" gets in the way of a lot of things..........I used to think AR's problems stemmed from a lack of coordination or not maintaining eye contact with the rim throughout the shot, but now I wonder if she's focusing too much on "Me" and the moment, rather than just the play at hand.
Mcnutt is a racist hack, everyone knows it , her employer doesn’t challenge her because it’s Disney/ABC, the most woke company in America.
Hey. Show a little compassion. @AFM22 is hurting you know.
I really hope she overcomes BWW hitting the OT button forcing her to miss it.
I've watched basketball for a looong time, but I don't know if I've ever noticed defense being played like I've seen in the W.
With the Fever you'll see Caitlin, or Sophie, or Lexie, or Kelsey ... defending on the perimeter with their backs toward the opposite sideline. If you're defending someone without the ball shouldn't your back generally be towards the baseline so you can always see the ball and your player??? I think it was Sophie recently who gave up a straight-line drive to the hoop defending out of position like this.
I don't get it, am I missing something?

Is that Angel shooting because you are right, when she shoots it, that shid can go anywhere?
Golden St is beating Dallas 44-28 at half
They've got Paige locked up. She's 1/7 (2 points) 1 reb, 1 assist snd 3 turnovers.

Currently, CC is averaging 22 and 8 (points/assists). That directly adds 40 points to the Fever's offense. Roughly 45% of their offense and that doesn't take into consideration how much space she adds to her teammates just because of her presence on the floor. She absolutely should be in the conversation for MVP.
Golden St is good! Who are their top players?
You're right. "Coach" talks about that all the time. Back to the baseline so you can see ball and man, ready to slide your feet. During a recent broadcast, Lobo actually praised a defender whose back was to the sideline. That player gave up a drive to the basket, if I recall correctly.

No it didn't. It evened the series at 2-2. Not sure what the other tie breakers would be. If its points/GM Indy will be hard to beat....The win in Atlanta secured the tie breaker with them.
For all the mind-numbing things that come out of their coaches' mouths non-sports related, unfortunately the two best coached teams in the WNBA are Minnesota and Golden State, who are 1 and 2 right now.
The Valkaries play some defense. They always seem to make it hard on the Fever....
This is what I referred to. You're right, the series is tied. Like you, I'm not sure either how they figure this up.

4. Indiana Fever (23-12)
Indiana’s win in Atlanta on Sunday prevented the Dream from securing the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Fever. This week, the tables turn, as Indiana has two chances to lock up head-to-head tiebreakers — Thursday in Dallas (series is tied 1-1, winner takes series) and Saturday in New York (Fever lead the series 2-1 ahead of final matchup of season). The Fever, who have won four straight and nine of their last 11, can bolster their playoff position with wins in these key games.

What I could find.
Teams are seeded No. 1 through No. 8 based on regular-season record.
If two teams are still tied, the team with the better winning percentage against all teams that finished the season with a .500 or better record gets the higher seed..
Still a tie? The point differential in head-to-head games decides the edge.
If more than two teams are tied, then as many teams will be eliminated at each step. As soon as one or more teams are eliminated at any step, the process must begin again from the first step, according to the WNBA.

What if there are tiebreakers?
The first playoff tiebreaker is decided by comparing the head-to-head record among tied teams. The team with the better record against the other tied team gets the advantage.If two teams are still tied, the team with the better winning percentage against all teams that finished the season with a .500 or better record gets the higher seed..

It depends on where the ball is.
Gabby Williams is probably their biggest star. She could win Defensive player of the year.
But they are very much a team where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
They are a terrible matchup for the Fever. Burton and Williams might be the only backcourt in the W that can guard CC/Kelsey.
