Right. The coach goes to the refs who consult the scorers table. That's the way it's supposed to work.

Sounds like CC is sick of people being racist towards her and her fans
I think it can go both ways. I wonder how many people making hateful comments are really Fever fans? Anyone can claim to be one online!
I feel zero sympathy for anyone who feels victimized by online comments. Newsflash, you don't have to read the comments.
The fact these WNBA players want to be treated like NBA players is laughable.

It’s not just online comments. It’s largely DMs. And my guess is most of the people sending these messages aren’t actually fans of the Fever or the WNBA and many of them have probably never even watched a game. The league has become the battleground for a proxy race war being fought largely by people who don’t give a damn about the league.
If anyone is interested, Sydney Colson’s podcast is up today. She talks about the A’ja Wilson incident and about social justice in general. I agree with some of what she says and I disagree with some of it. But it’s interesting to hear her perspective as a Black lesbian who has played both for and against the Fever. The podcast is called Unsupervised with Syd & TP.
Co-founder Grady Burnett has explicitly denied direct Saudi Arabian financial backing or investment in the league's cap table.
Possible. This off-season will show where CC stands with SW and the organization.
I read somewhere that 20% of adults have Twitter and 10% of those users make 80% of the tweets.
So 1 adult out of 50 make 80% of the tweets. And that adult is probably a nameless and faceless jackass troll. Always cracked me up that people were so wrapped up in what is trending on Twitter, or the fact that the news constantly cites Twitter trends when its an extremely small percentage of people that make these trends, especially when these trends don't represent actual real life.
The fact the WNBA gives credence to this nonsense is laughable. GMAFB

Clearly I disagree. Watch the replay, there's one in this thread. Page 426, post 17006. Boston is back pedaling away from Aja. Aja jams her right foot into Bostons left foot, and then loses her balance. Aja extends her foot INTO Bostons foot, after Bostons foot is planted on the floor. How is that Boston tripping Aja? Is Boston not allowed to have her feet on the floor? Certainly Aja tripped over Bostons left foot, but Boston was moving away from her. not towards her, and Aja moved forward into Boston.

Absolutely. Racism from both directions, but only one side is talked about constantly......
Is anyone surprised the refs had NO idea what was going on?
Nothing surprises me when it comes to controversy in this league
CC made $16M in endorsements last year.
I have seen where she is making over $20M this year.
It was in OT, I believe, and each team gets a new reset timeout to use in OT.
If Clark signs the EPIC extension, it locks her into the Fever through 2030 at the earliest. If she doesn't sign an extension, she plays 2027 on the team option at her rookie salary. Then they can Core Designate her for 2028 and again for 2029 at something like 20% of the salary cap.
The EPIC extension would basically add about $1MM to her salary for 2027, but would be roughly equivalent to the Core Designation salary for the 2028 and 2029 seasons. It would be guaranteed money through that contract as long as she's playing or injured from playing. But, the EPIC extension is a mandatory minimum of 3 years past her rookie team option year. Meaning it would contract her to the Fever for 2028, 2029, and 2030.
Honestly with her income from other sources, she'd be much better served giving up the $1MM next year and having the option to have freedom from the Fever one year sooner if their front office never gets their act together. She also may be able to force them to not Core Designate her in 2029 or instead force some sort of sign and trade.

Plum can’t guard anyone either. And she’s been hurt a lot. Not a great fit.
Agreed. She's basically the same player as KM with similar skills and deficiencies. Both 5'8" and shoot basically the same percentages from the floor throughout their careers. Plum has provided a shade more in assists and rebounds, but not enough that she'd be an upgrade. Maybe you could get her for a cheaper contract than KM will want since she only made $1MM this past season.
But the Fever don't need to replace KM with a 20+ point scorer, they need to use her money to find a starting SG that can play defense first and also chip in 8ish points. And then a SF that can do similar. Do that, and suddenly Clark can once again be the worst defender on the floor and not hurt the team as much so that she can save some energy for the offensive side of the floor where she flourishes. The Fever can't go into next season hoping that scoring 100 points is good enough to win games. They need to reduce the number of points given up on defense, even if it means reducing the amount they score on offense.
They also need more depth in the post, especially when Boston isn't on the floor or even available.
