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

[Wobmam Rulez!]

AFM22, I'm blaming you!

 

[Legend12]

Dream beat the Aces, 97-82. Fever are now .5 game ahead of the Aces for 3rd place.

Somehow the Aces allow Angel Reese to score 21 pts. Aja Wilson got here typical 27 pts and 14 rebs but also had 5 TOs.

Becky Hammon also got a double tech and ejection for crashing out at the refs, and got cheers from the crowd.........

LV has played 8 straight against likely playoff teams...their schedule gets crazy soft for the last 7..all of them against the bottom 5 teams in the standings.


Fever have 5 of their final 8 against likely playoff teams.

With their last two being a home/away with Minnesota

Yeah, will be nice if MN doesn't have anything to play for those games and maybe rests a player or two if the Fever are still vying seeding.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

That's the point though. He does it intentionally thinking there needs to be some balance, instead of everyone here just glazing CC all the time.

And we get that he's doing it......

I won't put him on ignore, I'll just ignore his stupid posts because sometimes, he posts goodly. ☺

Why is the officiating so bad after 30 years of a professional league?

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Clark turns it over a full turnover per game more than the 2nd most turnover prone player in the league

How dare she!

The honest answer to that is not a politically correct one.

 

[Legend12]

Now show how many assists a game those other players produce. Guaranteed CC is more than 1, higher. @Legend12

And here is an entirely different discussion I had once w/ some NBA analytic dorks...not CC-specific, but we will use her and the Fever as they are the ones we are most familiar with and her high usage rate would bring this into play.

CC averages 8+ APG....how many of those assists are directly because of her, and how many are offense/play based and how many are just the result of basketball being played?

It is a small sample size, but the Fever this year are averaging 20.6 APG.
In the 4 games that CC missed, they are averaging 20 APG.

So they would say CC is "worth" +.6 APG even though she averages over 8 per game herself.

And on the flip side...I don't have the stats in front of me right now, but I believe the Fever average 2+ more TOs per game w/ out CC than they do with her this season, so if someone is going to say she's worth +.6 APG then they would also need to credit her w/ the decrease in TOs, which would be a much higher % than most would think.

Thoughts?

 

[Franisdaman]

You’re a crazy person. Totally obsessive personality.

Oh, Tommy. The irony here is delicious.

Why are you so obsessed with me?

Off your meds again? Hope not! LOL

I pity people like yourself. I hope you get help and find peace someday.

Says the teacher off his meds.

The sh.it you post really is something, Tommy. But you are consistent, so we all know what to expect.

I really hope karma greets you daily and that your life continues to be miserable.

Take care, Tommy, and good luck.

[Legend12]

Odd.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

It gets old. Same folks highlighting the bad instead of looking at the good of her play.

Probably the results of a mom and pop thing they had growing up.

 

[Amahawk]

Why is the officiating so bad after 30 years of a professional league?

The word professional might be used a bit loosely when describing this league?

 

[paladinhawk_rivals]

LOLOLOLOLO.. You think Sophies a "star" and Clarks not? Hell CC22 is a super Nova compared to Sophie.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Ruocco and Lobo mentioned how very hot Atlanta's arena was, and then last night it was apparently very warm again in Toronto's arena. Let's hope the Dallas, NY, and Chicago arenas are cooler.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

You know they will. The equipment will most likely malfunction during Fever games.

 

[huntinghawk]

We get it. You're out on Caitlin Clark.

Nobody cares. And you're not gonna change anyone's mind trying to be the guy that whispers to the emperor "You're just a man, you're just a man" every day.

Good luck going forward knowing that.

There's tons of posters relishing the fact legend has aged into a low tier forum troll like that am22 gal. I think it's sad because I used to enjoy his cocky snark, but that legend washed away with his menopause.

The last two games were in NBA arenas so I'm kind of surprised they didn't have functioning AC.

Is this similar to what happened to her in Game 5 against LV last season?

On the non-call that Hammon went ape shat over I thought the contact on Wilson was pretty marginal.

But when you've come to expect 20 FTAs per game is A'ja's birthright, then Hammon's rage is understandable. Psychotic for sure, but understandable.

 

[WDSMHawk]

She had full blown rhabdo in the playoffs last year. Hopefully they were just being extremely cautious last night.

 

[BunchofAholes]

Why is the officiating so bad after 30 years of a professional league?

Because it's not very "professional". Lousy product that would never survive unsubsidized.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Coach White wants her to shoot threes.

Why?

Especially when rebounding and interior defense is a team weakness.

 

[nu2u]

I wasn’t aware of that. Full blown exertional rhabdomyolysis is a medical emergency which necessitates hospitalization in order to guard against kidney damage/failure. An IV is required and recovery is at least a few weeks.

Thanks. Was at that game and no one really knew what was going on.

I don't think 4 games is statistically meaningful.

I just watched the clip and didn't think it looked too bad either. If that sent her into orbit, she would get ejected from every game if she coached Caitlin.

Deal with it.

Girls/women's basketball refs at all levels:

 

[ottumwan in tx]

If we were talking about deacon hill turning it over wayyyy too much most of you guys would be fine with it. I love Mitchell getting in the face of that chick, that one was worth the T

SW could learn how to be a bad ace from this

 

[hawkeyewx]

Does anyone know exactly what set Kelsey off? She wouldn't blow up like that just because of some physical defense. Mabrey must've thrown in something extra. She would likely have gotten into a scuffle with plenty of other players, but when KM blew up Mabrey immediately backed off.

Looked like she was getting slapped in the chest to me . Whatever it was she was not taking it!!

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

But, give her some credit also. She has a 1.75 Ast/To Ratio and is among the top 3 in assists in the league. Stop highlighting the bad and look at the good.

She's third in scoring at 22.1 pts/GM and 1st in assists at 8.3. I don't think ANY player has ever done that before.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Also, I'll bet her points scored plus assists, total points directly attributed to the teams final score, percentage wise is head and shoulders above anyone else in the league.

It is......

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Now show how many assists a game those other players produce. Guaranteed CC is more than 1, higher. @Legend12

Actually she's only .1 assist higher/GM then Thomas , so no. BUT she's still a much better scorer and her gravity is much bigger then Thomas. Pretty sure Thomas has never been top three scorer in the league while leading the W in assists..

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

If balls are hit to the shortstop and instead of playing defense he completely ignores them, should he continue to play?

Does he account for 40% of his teams offense over the course of a season?
