Not much value in doing thatYou've been yacking about that all day, but Caitlin was fouled on that play when she got shoved to the floor
Kate IS fed up with the ridiculous drama in that league. She does plan on playing overseas.
She also failed because Wilson caught her with her body on the pass attempt. Watch the replay.
She didn't flop as some people, perhaps even you, said she did.
A'ja got the A'ja whistle is what happened, like she did when the play before she crashed into Caitlin. Caitlin didn't play great but got no help from the zebras, either.
She's committed to Unrivaled, which last year started on Jan 5th....so her overseas availability is pretty limited,
I was looking at some of those same numbers but thanks to you for posting 'em.
I was a little bit surprised but Caitlin's rebounding numbers, despite declining this season, are very competitive if not outright superior vs the top guards like Taurasi, Bird, etc. I think C. Williams is the only guard to average more over her career.
You insult me every time you bring up that bitches name. That would be like me going to the LSU or Dream board and bringing Caitlin’s name up constantly. If you love her so damn much then move to their boards. She’s nothing but a selfish want to be.
Her NET rating is 22nd - no where near the bottom of the league. In addition, ranked below below Caitlin - some significantly are Chelsea Gray (#27) Jessica Shepard (#31), Rhyne Howard (#33), Paige Buecker (#34), Breanna Stewart (#38), Sonia Citron (#43), and Alyssa Thomas (#63). Four out of five Lynx starter are in the top 13.
I don't think the NET rating always measures the value of a player and I wouldn't rely on it to make a point.
Your never going to get an honest answer from him unless it fits his narrative...
And yet who creates a higher % of her teams (the highest scoring team in league history) offense?
Yeah, the 'point GOD" thing is hilarious. Statistically she couldn't carry Clarks gym bag. When Clark was a senior at Iowa some likened her to being a morphing of Taurasi/Bird into one player. That's basically exactly what we're seeing right now.
I have no idea how much the first third of the season weighs into that, but ANY stat that says the Fever are a better team with the Clark (whose playing the last 15 games) not on the floor is useless drival. Basically there are three kinds of lies. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics".
I have a hard time believing that also. Makes no sense that the team is better off without her on the court.
I think Unrivaled is on borrowed time. Between the number of stars getting injured and missing parts of the season, and the W's ability to pay players more. I'll bet the W will start putting clauses in contracts for the top tier players that require they play only in the league. Add to that the league going to 50+ games. If Unrivaled survives it will be with lower level players and it will get even less attention then it does now. Its a side show.
Their not. Ask Mitchell if they'd be better off if Clark didn't play in the playoffs.
Just wait. I'm sure he'll be back to tell you that Dallas is better playing without PB, or the Liberty are better without Stewie.....
Actual TV viewers for Unrivaled were extremely low, yet some will brag that two arenas were sold out. I think they are on borrowed time as well.
"Unrivaled Basketball League has achieved notable viewership milestones, particularly during its inaugural season. The league averaged 221,000 viewers on TNT and truTV throughout the season, including the playoffs. However, despite these initial successes, the second season has seen a significant decline in viewership, raising concerns about the league's sustainability.
In terms of attendance, Unrivaled has broken records for professional women's basketball, indicating strong in-person engagement even as TV ratings have dipped. This contrast highlights the complexities of audience engagement in sports today, where live attendance can thrive despite lower television viewership."
The folks who put up the cash for this must have money to burn, but if TV viewership remains low, then how can there be a significant ROI?
Except I already did answer it,
You must be in your late 60s, right? Is this what senility/dementia is like? Just a complete disregard for anything other than what you fixate on?
Gotta be hard counting down the days like that.

Maybe getting stats wasn't their goal.
Maybe winning is/was?
Maybe being the kind of teammate others want to play with is/was?
Probably so Dave could harass players like he did at HS games when his kids were playing.
You will have to take it up with the WNBA, it was from an article on their website.
Does your mom know you're up this late?
Unrivaled is trying to succeed w/ out Aja and CC, which seems like a huge undertaking, but even if she joined I think the most ardent CC fans would be like, "Why am I watching this again?" An enormous part of CC's popularity is due to making basketball fun and more like the men's (Pete Maravich!) for many people, and 3x3 is never going to be anything like "real basketball" for some viewers.
And your point on the length of season is spot on.
Let's say CC played Unrivaled this season:
She'd have to start getting ready in December of 2025 for a league that ran from Jan 5th - March 4th.
MAYBE take a week or 2 off before starting to get ready for the WNBA season, first pre-season game was April 25th
She doesn't get a true break at All Star time...doesn't get a break during FIBA time...and the WNBA season can last up until the end of October.
So a player could end up w/ just 6-7 weeks off between seasons to get any work/rest in before doing it all again...and per the CBA next year's schedule can last until November 21st, allowing even less time between seasons.
I think the plan all along was to get the WNBA to invest in the league and then get them to outright buy it out and use it as a training/practice tool for younger players, but I think the W is just going to continue to squeeze them out w/ an expanded schedule and increased salaries.
Speaking of answering things, senility and dementia....
"Legend," you somehow have forgotten to post your list of things Caitlin gets away with that no one else in the league does. We all have been waiting for your list since Sunday, August 9!!!
You should post that list NOW before you forget again!
I am confident that a poster like yourself who is never wrong (in your senile, mentally ill mind) & who is always correcting everyone will have that LIST posted shortly!!!
In case people forgot, "Legend" posted what follows on Aug 9; @huntinghawk and @Hawk48 then nailed it when they said "Legend" is the biggest clown on these forums. Can you imagine subscribing to Hawkeye Report and paying to interact with "Legend" in the Lounge? LOL
