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

[Hawk48]

First we have to hear from the ESPN sistacrew about how, in this game, CC has perpetuated systemic racism in America.

blacks are always the victim of white privilege per MSM idiots

 

[Hawk48]

Have you watched any of the halftime shows or post game shows? That’s all they talk about.

no and never will listen to the squawking morons

 

[oldhawk56]

All because of CC's passes.

To be fair. She's pretty damn open when she shoots or she won't shoot. And that's a good thing.

 

[Tom Paris]

Maybe I'm trying so hard not to be a homer that I've become biased in the other direction but l I think Miles is almost a lock for 1st team and CC is the one trying to play her way on.

Fwiw if she keeps playing at the level she is I think she'll make it.

First team
G. Olivia Miles (lock)
G. Kelsey Mitchell (should be a lock)
Open
F. Breanna Stewart (not really sure who the other forward would be)
F. A'ja Wilson (lock)

I'm not sure what the WNBA's rules are about voting and if that open spot is mandated to be a Guard/Forward or if it's up to voter discretion.

But if Guards are eligible I think it will come down to her or Paige.

If players decide, Clark won’t make Honorable Mention.

The don't seem to be held to position specific selections:
In 2024 CC was the only G to make it on the 1st team
In 2023 no guards made the 1st team
And now it is a guard driven league with CC, Paige, Miles, KM, Plum all putting up great #s

I think the 1st team as of now would be:
Aja (1st in scoring, 3rd in rebounding, defensive force)
Miles (9th in scoring, 6th in assists, best player on best team)
KM (2nd in scoring, 4th in 3PT FG%, on most popular team)
CC (4th in scoring, T1st in assists, most popular player in league)

Like you I have that 5th spot open, with quite a few options.
Plum has missed a lot of games but is 3rd in scoring
Stewie is Stewie...21.3, 8.4, 3.2...47 FG%
Shepard is at 14.2 PPG, 11.4 RPG, 5.2 APG shooting 59% from field.
Paige is at 20.1 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 5.8 APG, 51% FG, 39% 3FG
In a typical year I think Boston gets a fair amount of votes...and you have to wonder if the KM-CC-AB trio takes some votes from each other.

I don't watch any of the pre-game or halftime reports, but I don’t watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta either .

Steph white tells me to go to heck or H.E double toothpicks. Then she tells me she “rides ten toes down”. I dunno what that is but sounds kinky. She also drops F bombs. Then I see CC on the bench not buying in at all when SW talks. This thing is a dumpster fire. Meanwhile they play great and win. Crazy town.

If you watch the WNBA you are watching the real sister hood wives of the W.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Timpson did a solid job defensively tonight. Still hesitates a little bit after receiving a pass from Caitlin and it costs her opportunities to finish.

She doesn't quite have that tenacity and edge that Rodman played with, and thankfully, lacks the theatrics and drama as well.

AB and Mitchell have trouble finishing after a CC pass at times too.

 

[Hawksfor3]

SW goes off on pregame and walks off.

She has her players back. F bomb.

Hate to say it, but she should have handled it with grace. Now she can expect even more heat. Not good.

 

[The Big Z]

Yes, those girls should catch every pass from CC no matter what and make sure she gets an assist on every pass. I mean neither is carrying their weight at all.

 

[chipackhawk]

Instead of doubling down on protecting the activism brand, she could have said she was wrong not to openly defend her player. But in a league that did not suspend Carrington for an overt racist comment and suspended a coach for making a completely harmless one, you know now what to expect. The Commissioner has zero power and the ownership is made up of social justice warriors. The Commissioner answers to the owners and you know where they stand. Mind blowing.

 

[The Big Z]

I still don't understand her saying she didn't see it in real time. What was she watching?

 

[Herky T Hawk]

I still don't understand her saying she didn't see it in real time. What was she watching?

I’m guessing she meant that she didn’t get to see multiple replays from different angles during the game and got asked about it in the post-game conference before seeing them. Hence the defense of Carrington.

But she wasn’t really clear in saying that, so I’m putting words into her mouth by guessing.

 

[Hawksfor3]

It just seems a little off. Watch carefully. You'll see times when they receive passes while in a good position to score. But, they have difficulty finishing, and in some cases they will pass to someone else for a score. Other times, They mishandle easy passes that should lead to a finish with a shot attempt. There are other times that they will not even attempt to shoot, but immediately look for someone to pass to. And, finally, there are times when a player receives a pass from her and they have a desperate look to them, even as Clark is being closely guarded, and lately, double-teamed. Look closely to recognize the subtlety of these actions.

The league is the "Shangri-La" of absurdity.

Her, looking directly at the play, as still photography and video replays confirm, and then denying that she saw it, is the rub.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

There is a club or religion of the W. Sophie and CC are not in it thank goodness. SW is in it. The crowd boos her for being in it.

 

[Hawksfor3]

black WNBA players are always the victim of white privilege per MSM idiots

FIFY. per one DiJonai Carrington.

There are photos of her standing there watching it. Then Sophie gets up with a bloody mouth, did you see that Steph? SW is a total idiot.

Undeniably false of her using this argument. Especially after the play has been broken down, showing that there was no real play on the ball, as DC was lunging and using both arms while well away from the ball.

 

[Ludd]

To be fair. She's pretty damn open when she shoots or she won't shoot. And that's a good thing.

CC would only get one shot a game if she only shot when she was open.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Posted without comment…

Thank you sir for leaving this open to intrpretation!!

Lynn Dunn saw it too.
