Yeah this is not a good team the U.S. is playing.

Makes it all the more frustrating that we're settling on offense and being lazy and reaching and getting burned to the basket on defense.
It’s incredible to me that the best women’s players in America consistently give up middle. Rarely hedging on screens either. We give up middle and bad things happen. There are teams that will make the US pay for that.

Reese playing well today, actually.
I ask myself in sports, politics, or life, what would I say if Reece, etc., or my favorite looked like this? If I forgive my team's f'up, shouldn't I ignore the f'up by my opponent?

If Reece was on the Fever, would I appreciate her? If Clark was my oppenent, would I hate her?

That said, I would hate Clark as an opponent. I hated Kelsey Mitchell at Ohio State... and I love her now.

Finally, if I could build my own WNBA team, I would include Clark. Reece wouldn't make the cut in spite of her rebounding.

DISCLAIMERS: There could be BS in any of the above, but it is close to correct. I often don't know what I am talking about. I feel right at home on this forum.

Agree. Perception is everything.

How in the world does one hate Kelsey Mitchell at any point?

Gray looks like a past her prime celebrity alum that got invited to come back and play with her former team in a preseason scrimmage. She literally looks like she's just f***ing around out there.

I honestly don’t know what a foul is anymore. The short blonde PG put both hands on Clark’s abdomen in a shove motion while Clark was dribbling outside the 3pt line. No call. There was nobody out there blocking their view.

Similar situation, Kiki gets hands all over her with no call.

Acting like they are breaking a cardinal sin of basketball defense by giving up middle and not hedging screens.
