  1. Indiana Fever have drawn 82,857 fans for their first five home games of the 2024 WNBA season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Attendance for 20 Fever games last season delivered a total attendance of 81,336 Seven of the nine games the Fever have played this year have been sellouts, according to The Indianapolis Star The Fever’s average attendance this season at the 18,000-seater Gainbridge Fieldhouse is 15,564, which is the most in the league and up significantly on their average of 4,067 for the whole of 2023. Their first four home games saw a total of 65,583 fans attend and the game against the Chicago Sky, which featured another star of the 2024 WNBA draft class in Angel Reese, was another sellout of 17,274, pushing the Fever’s cumulative attendance for this season past last year’s total. What percentage of that increase is solely due to the Fever?
  2. It’s not magic. They are simply making Kyrie and Luka work harder and playing better individual D on them. They have the athleticism to match the size. Kat and Gob don’t.
  3. Sir this is a Wendys. Or a thread about Cailtin Clark
  4. Sometimes it feels like F1 is not a real sport.
  5. So is it not possible for a white female basketball player to warrant this level of hype on pure merit? Is there a higher level as a pro prospect should could have achieved to do so or is it simply unachievable? I’m old enough to remember HS Lebron signing a $90 million dollar shoe deal, espn broadcasting his HS games, cover of SI and being one of the most famous athletes in the country before ever playing a game. It’s merit was never questioned. Is that possible for a white female basketball player?
  6. The replay of Ricciardo’s false start was….unconvincing. He got a 5 second penalty when Lando did the same in a precious race and was given no penalty.
  7. Late to the game but Loudermilk is fantastic
  8. Scoring:13th Assist:4th Steals: 17th Reb: 26th Still a terrible decision not to include her. Would think her assists would rise even more with better teammates
  9. Finals teams attempted 69 3 pointers last night, so grabbing a truly elite shooter might be the best option on a team severely lacking in shooting.
  10. Nope. We got a nice upgrade recently. They went with speed gray and red for the exterior. Huge improvement
  11. TIL there are real companies who’s only purpose is to track your monthly subscriptions so you can cancel the unused/unneeded ones. Cheese and Rice https://www.rocketmoney.com
  12. Seems a lot more plausible after the Checo extension
  13. WTF? Not sure even space scissoring could save this turd. Will watch because apparently I’m a SW sadist.
  14. There were benefits to being invisible
  15. when you are a hammer, everything... But yes, I think there is a large group who would rather watch 3s from the logo than below the rim layups, because pro sports are entertainment first (not a charity, or title 9 product).
  16. I think it is clear the WNBA is about size and physicality right now over finesse.
  17. I was intrigued about the possibility of Dalton Knecht at the 9, I still think he could be that solid rotation piece but 3 is too high.
  18. These are not the same, or really close. Wilson is a great player in the WNBA but it is not aesthetically pleasing to watch or any reason to follow. CC's game looks like an And 1 mixtape by comparison. There have been many "better" WNBA players now and in the past, but CC is on another level skill wise than any before her. That is why NBA fans are taking notice. Super efficient layups, jumpers and average athleticism are just not entertaining to watch.
