I don’t mean she won’t recover ever. She’s had mediocre genes before. It was the abysmal clutch play that was a bit startling and, as far as I recall, nothing I’ve seen to that level. The collapse in the 2’nd we and the 4q FTs and OT turnover were really shocking. Especially how casually and sloppily she was. And just odd decision making.
I guess that's the way it has to be. Clark will have to make coaching decisions in the absence of having a Head Coach. Need a timeout? OK, take it, Clark. How can people defend White? I mean, how? Why not replace White? Why not????
CC made the huge mistake of picking up her dribble. When she saw Wilson coming to defend her and basically pin her in the corner, she should have immediately dribbled out of there. Another huge CC mistake was jacking up a 3-ball (a miss) early in the possession with 50 seconds left in regulation and the Fever with a lead. She should have run clock in that instance.
I said that in the game thread. There wrre times where it looked like Mitchell either closed her eyes and just tried to shoot the ball in the general direction of the hoop, or because she's so short, was afraid to keep her head facing the basket and had to "guess" where the hoop was...................
Ya know people keep saying this, but I also often wonder how much they actually understand what kind of athletes they're talking about, on both sides...........
The anti-CC fans got their wish fulfillment last night.
Lexi checked out of the Fever Hotel.
Nah, that was because of all the social media f*** tards that got what they wanted last night.
, but it's nice to have a little temporary spending cash after say Iowa pisses their pants against Iowa State, as opposed to being left with nothing while the f*** tards from Iowa State get to gloat about winning for the next 364 days.
Angel's back over 20 tonight. Bank it. I am from the future.Nah, that was because of all the social media f*** tards that got what they wanted last night.
I always bet against my favorite teams because they often find ways to let me down, so there's no point in not profiting from their failures when they do f*** up.
Usually that means I lose money in the long run
In all fairness, and I tend to agree with what you said, any other 2 players involved in that final sequence and nobody really makes an outrage at the play-on/no-call nature of the play.
I want to say that's the first time in her post-high school career that her sloppy and reckless play cost her team a close game.
If you thought the anti-clark fans were rough after the game last night, imagine what they would be like if A'ja tips the ball and then called for a foul on Clark, and Clark gets free throws.
Now that seems a little fatalistic to me. I'm hoping she's pissed off AF and maybe that steels her resolve to tighten her game up
. Otoh, maybe this does bruise her confidence going forward, who knows?White isn't going anywhere. Last night was not her fault. She was not to blame for Mitchell missing one to win the game and then CC missing 2 and then turning the ball over which lead to a runout and open 3. Or Hull having no idea where the Hell the ball was when she was put in the game for defensive purposes.
Wouldn’t be difficult to find 8th graders that are taller, faster, stronger, and can dunk.
This exactly. How often do you see a team screen to get a big against a pt guard? That's a matchup your all star pt guard has to take advantage of. There is absolutely no reason she should have had to call a time out.
I think that it's worth pointing out that the Head Coach is responsible for whatever occurs on the court. Good or bad. In White's case, for a HC to almost never take accountability for missteps during a game, and instead, sit idly by while her players do take accountability post-game, is an indicator of her inability to perform her duties in a professional manner. Why put the ball in Clark's hands, while your fastest player stands idle at the top of the key? I'm not discounting the fact that Clark smoked clutch FTs, committed a slew of turnovers, or criticizing Hull for sleepwalking, or even blaming KM for missing a key FT. I'm simply pointing out the fact that Stephanie White is the Doug Christie of the WNBA. Both were really solid players. Neither of them has proven the ability to be a Head Coach.
We don’t know if she was told to faceguard there. If she was then that’s not on her. She would have been doing her job. That happens a lot when defense is playing “no catch” on a player.
I am pro CC , well I used to be. she was the reason I watched. now I watch to see her meltdown. and I watch sophie. the meltdowns are crazy in this league.
You did well then. By comparison, you being at pickleball league is like being at the Super Bowl as opposed to Poker Night at Charlie's house.
well I got two bad knees and a bad back, but they have this waitress that is really freaky and she owns a tazer, and they got lemonade vodka shots and coors banguet beer in the can.
Dawn figured that out did she? Was that after Clark dropped 40 on her and accounted for 75% of Iowa's offense knocking SC out of their perfect season? The nonsense posted on here is crazy.....
No kidding. This board is the poster child for bipolar. One game Clark is superhuman, and sets another three ALL time records and two games later she'll never play worth a damn or be the same player. Even during game threads it goes from one end of the spectrum to the other. Its mind boggling...
Probably should add a loose screw, and a lack of intestinal fortitude to your ailments.......
