That's a wild stat.

We'll take it.

 

[Manfredi]

That's a wild stat.

At least it seems their rebounding has gotten much better.

 

[Franisdaman]

Fever 0-3 vs LA. Will they get a Win tonight?

 

[Franisdaman]

and the Fever shoot layups/bunnies like Angel does.

Well, Angel for a 1st place vote for 2024 Rookie of the Year so this must be a good thing....

 

[Franisdaman]

Another big Sims basket! Win or lose, this has been a very entertaining game.

We Lub the Dub???

The Fever:

It's weird seeing Lexi with two black eyes. I did not realize she got clobbered that badly. I did not see the play when that happened.

she's lucky she didn't injure her left knee, too.

Watch:

CC, postgame:

she's lucky she didn't injure her left knee, too.

Watch:

Unfortunately, lexi's right hand came into McBride's forehead right before the elbow was thrown. But still, the elbow was vicious, wreckless, and uncalled for. Once McBride felt the contact, she reacted. Just my two cents.

 

[mphawk]

Big win at LA. This puts the Fever 3 games ahead of the Sparks. The Fever have 5 games left and the Sparks have 7. This probably seals a playoff birth for the Fever. Now, they need to try to finish with at least the 7 seed, so they avoid having to play the Lynx.

The Fever, given there adversity, have done an admirable job.

But KM and AB have been 2 constants, playing I believe every game for the Fever this year. And it’s a team fighting to make the playoffs.

Yet they’re viewed as cornerstones for an eventual title contender. Which doesn’t make sense rationally.

I won’t rehash my perspective on the roster. But ultimately CC won’t be playing with KM. Which I think long term will be good for the Fever. Then it becomes how you find a 2-way 2G or wing and an interior 2-way player that can help elevate the Fever into that next tier.

They are 21-18 and those 2 have done an incredible job keeping this teams head above water. 22-11 4 assists and 6 steals last night for your Center. They are literally on their 5th starting pt guard for the season. How many teams could do that. Cunningham was starting when she blew out her knee. They have dealt with so much adversity without CC playing. You never get rid of a 3rd year star like Boston.

Im not sure how you can simultaneously contend AB and KM were the 2 constants powering this team to an above-500 record with a game of musical chairs at PG, and also say they are not cornerstone players. They are as good as they can hope for without some kind of coup in free agency.

Watch:

I’m 99% sure the black eyes were from the collision of heads and not the cheap shot.

Not sure what you looked at, but if you look closely, I don't think there heads actually made contact.

Really?

 

[Cidhawkeye]

Really?

Tough choice........a cheek to chin collision like you show or the elbow to the nose, eyes, forehead area.........I am not a Dr. nor did I spend the night at Holiday Inn I think the elbow to the nose, eyes and forehead caused the black eyes.......just pure speculation on my part.............

All of the articles I have read attribute her raccoon eyes to the head to head collision.

Lexis was interviewed about her black eyes. She said it showed up the morning after the collision.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Just turned the game on. What? We got a review already? LOL

 

[Hawksfor3]

George Kittle in the house!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Clock issue. Again. What's with these systems in the W? Need to upgrade. SMH.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Morgan Ragan doing color!

 

[Hawksfor3]

White, take a TO and tell them to defend the 3.

 

[hawkeyewx]

God dang it's hard to play at Golden State. Their home crowd advantage is ridiculous. Once they start raining threes, it quickly snowballs.

 

[Hawksfor3]

GS with 6 3's in the first.

 

[FlaIaWis]

Unsustainable shooting from Golden St. Water will find its level.

The way she's looking tonight, she could be a Top 10 Halloween costume.

 

[hawkeyewx]

I can't remember the last time Dantas hit a three. She has been this season's Katy Lou for the last several games.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Kate with 2 3's so far!

 

[hawkeyewx]

This is unreal. The Valkyries have not shot this well the entire season. They set a record for threes in a quarter and they are still white hot.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Insane. Vals are 9-10 in 3's.

 

[DTP2]

I can't remember the last time Dantas hit a three. She has been this season's Katy Lou for the last several games.

her shot is so flat she should be skipping rocks.

 

[DTP2]

Nearly every shot is wide open.

 

[hawkeyewx]

As much as the Valkyries shooting is a problem, the Fever offense is MIA so far. Only 14 points almost halfway through the second quarter.

27% from 2, 20% from 3.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Ex Fever player Temi. Very likeable.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Take Foul? Did she have a clear path to the basket?
