Uh oh. Eyes laughed at your comment, which means he disagrees with you, but he'll say that's not actually what it means and that he's being mischaracterized.............😉
Exhibit A of what you guys do to these threads, and what I have to deal with.

Quite the portrayal from a mere emoji.

Here, I'll tell you more about why I gave it a laugh, and why it gave me a laugh.

I have no idea what call was even being referred to, so have no comment on the play.

And wouldn't have a care about how it was officiated anyway, because I don't look at the game in that way.

So the laugh was dual in nature.
1. I laugh at a lot of fans for being concerned about and commenting about the officiating.
2. I laugh at the level of fan concern about the officiating when it comes to CC. Somehow every game she's lost in the last 5 years has been the refs' fault.

So, go ahead and make all that into whatever you wish. That's what you guys do

Wait until you meet ISU fans.

But that loser told us he never hangs around live threads! He's never in live Iowa threads... Hmmm, makes you think...
Exhibit B.

Hmmmm, yeah it's probably makes you wonder what the eff someone is talking about, when you have them deleted.

Clearly you would know, that earlier in the thread, I was asked to submit my in-game wagers.

But you go ahead and keep your boner for me, and keep talking about me, and characterizing me however you want. Because that's what you do. And whether you have me deleted, or pretend deleted, you no longer have to worry about so easily appearing wrong to these anonymous message boarders. Embarrassingly pathetic

Thank you for not denying your intent. 😁

McMahon was giving all the "tre leches" the business during the game, letting them know they couldn't stop her from driving to the hoop. I guess CC22 just let her know what GAME looks like......
Oh yeah, she's a yapper. Thinks she's a princess who deserves all the attention. Absolutely loved CC flexing in her face and her just turning and walking away.

I mean, I am not a fan of the W establishment and am certainly not their apologist, but she shook her head and smiled in disbelief...

I think Bird has always tried to stay fairly neutral in the firestorm that surrounds CC22. I fine with that for the most part. She's rarely really critical of her either except for some of the same obvious stuff we all notice.
Good call, after I enlarged the screen I could see that.

So yeah, I always thought Bird was one who was generally supportive of Caitlin and not a detractor so it seemed odd but, ofc, I didn't view it correctly.

I hope Caitlin's big shot gives her a nice boost of confidence and/or helps her relax and settle into her old form.

I think a monster game is just right around the corner for her *




* Ofc, I always think that 🤷‍♂️

The next two games (Chicago, @ Connecticut) had better be easy wins. The Sun are the worst team in the league. The Sky have been getting clobbered recently and they barely beat the Sun.
The Sky looked pretty good at the start of the season, like they might actually contend for a playoff spot. But then Rickea Jackson blew out her knee and now they’ll be lucky to win 15 games.

It was clearly stating that an overreacting fan could apologize for overreacting to you and a normal person would have respect for them for apologizing. I added the rest thank you for posting your pbets.
I wouldn't not have respect for an apology.

Just seemed to be a non sequitur.

I used the fact that I continued to bet NY, in-game, to help show just how far off those that characterized the game as an epic Indiana meltdown, were.

You chimed in that I would earn more respect by posting my bets immediately.

And to that, I asked what would earn respect for the overreacting fans. In other words, even if you strip the credibility that my bets provided, that does nothing to make the overreacting fans' perspective on the game any less legitimate.

Because again, my original point was about the absurdity of the meltdown perspective, rather than my winning wagers

That was actually a bit of a hospital pass. It had no business making it all the way across the court but big *** McMahon was slow getting through the screen and then of course just over ran it. Such a boneheaded play. But again, as a lot of you have said White just loves these grinder games that come down to the last few possessions. Thought they were in trouble when CC fed Boston for 2 easy pick and rolls and she didn’t even hit rim. Cunningham did the same. It’s ridiculous.

Maybe stop ;posting then. Its NOT all about YOU or how YOU feel your being characterized. Just stop and think why are there so many people who think your a self centered know it all. MAYBE YOUR the problem. Hmmm...
Next time you have contention with something I've posted, feel free to let me know and we'll talk.

I trust you'll bring more to the party than name calling, emojis, and gifs
