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

[WDSMHawk]

A lot of body by Wilson on that block of KK.

[Manfredi]

Wilson shocked by the extremely rare foul call.

She kept saying "weak" but even though I don't have a problem with her not playing in FIBA...if she wants FIBA rules she needs to play in it

 

[hawkeyewx]

ARGHHHHH..... this team.... you blink and it's boom, boom, boom, boom, 8-0 run for the opponent.

A'ja is blocking everything.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

The refs could not be more inconsistent with moving screens

 

[Manfredi]

value the ball...damn

 

[Slim45]

The refs could not be more inconsistent with moving screens

They’re consistent in not calling **** for the fever

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

As an aside, gray has incredible dexterity. Just a horrible looking heave of a shot but it goes in almost all of the time.

 

[AFM22]

Wilson playing like an MVP

 

[hawkeyewx]

Aces are shooting almost 70%.

If defense wins championships, this team will never win.

That's the thing that bugs me. They have a period of time where it's close. The other team punches them, and they have to play like heck to come back. And, it's happened more than once in the same game before. Can't sustain. Hole diggers.

Yeah she is really good.

 

[hawkeyewx]

KM picked a real bad time to go cold (last game and today). She was unbelievable all season.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Hard for any team in the W to beat the Aces when they shoot 69% from the field.

Bad Fever defense or hot shooting?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Everyone standing around.

 

[hawkeyewx]

While the Fever D is obviously bad, the Aces are still hitting absolutely everything.

Indeed.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Bad Fever defense or hot shooting?

Yes

The Fever history suggests more Fever than the opponent. Just a really bad defensive team. It’s a roster thing.

 

[Hawksfor3]

C'mon Fever. Stay away from them!!!!!!!!! LOL.

 

[Slim45]

Hahaha holy ****, what a call

 

[hawkeyewx]

Breathe on A'ja you get called for a foul.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

How in the *** was that a foul. These refs are a joke.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Did they not have a challenge? Where was the contact?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Announcers smoke the call and make excuses lol.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

So, giving up 62 in a half is not a good sign. Right?

 

[Manfredi]

With how often you hear how banged up Boston is...and she got hurt in Unrivaled(and going to play next year also)...with the expanded 50 game season next year and the vastly upgraded salaries...when are teams not going to allow it or consider it when they decide how much they will offer them in a contract?

 

[hawkeyewx]

So, so bad.

 

[DTP2]

Gross. Aces cannot miss. Everything is a foul. And our supporting cast is worthless.

 

[WDSMHawk]

I'm putting odds on a Caitlin tech at 60% in the second half

 

[Iowameat]

Looks like we will see CC in only 1 more game this year.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Breathe on A'ja you get called for a foul.

Refs know the assignment.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Gross. Aces cannot miss. Everything is a foul. And our supporting cast is worthless.

 

[Hawksfor3]

1st quarter they outscored us by 4. Not bad. 2nd quarter they outscored us by 11. Not good.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

-Refs are helping the Aces/Aja when they don't need help, but they're gonna do it anyways

-Timpson looks good at times and really has improved this year....but she costs herself SO many gotdam layup opportunities because she brings the ball down rather than keeping it high and finishing from that point. It's merely a habit/impulse and something she needs to break herself of if she wants to take the next step.

-We already knew the Fever defense was trash, so this half of play is no surprise. Terrible help defense, playing scared and passive, regardless of the fact that you have to worry about the refs hunting for fouls, and they're just so slow to react and anticipate what's happening around them. Fire everyone.

-Caitlin looks checked out as f***.

I think the Fever are further away from being a title contending team than most realize. And absent of blowing up the roster I don’t think they will get there.

I think the Big 3 are exciting and dynamic. Just think their actual limitations individually and collectively lower their ceiling. I think it’s a roster that has to be reimagined. Not tinkered with.

 

[hawkeyewx]

A'ja is beating the Fever by herself on both ends. She's phenomenal today.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Tell me the refs have money on this game without telling me.

They've got 3 players that would start or see meaningful minutes on any other playoff team and one of them is hurt.

Helps when they let her do whatever she wants, which includes the refs.

No effort to get the ball out of her hands, and forcing shots when she's standing right the f*** in front of them.

It's just brain-dead play/coaching by the Fever.
