  1. Why do you watch?
  2. The whole joke is that people are conditioned to clap?
  3. Was he though? I follow the WNBA - I didn't recognize the name when he said it - but I also recognize the league has been around for 30 years and I might just not know players from the beginning of the league. Its also human nature to clap/celebrate when someone is introduced (and given bonafides like 'former MVP'). I don't think people clapping was indicative of any hypocrisy.
  4. Chicago Sky head coach decided to show the Front Office, and everyone else, just how dogshit this roster is outside of Reese and Atkins. Angel Reese and Ariel Atkins sat today's game against Atlanta and watched their teammates score all of 49 points and lose by 37. No one on the Sky scored in double figures. The team shot a total of 8 free throws. Last years #3 overall pick, and general disappointment, Kamilla Caroso put up 8pts and 11 rebs on 3/11 shooting with 5 TOs. They desperately need a PG. While the pick swap they'll get for her next draft will be nice - they could really use Marina Mabrey this season.
  5. Yes. The Sky are completely devoid of top line talent outside of Reese. Vandersloot is/was washed. Atkins is what she has always been - a perfectly good third option on a team. Cardoso isn't nearly aggressive enough for her size/skill - but is also hampered by the fact the Sky don't have a real PG The rest of the team is either aging veterans or young players with very limited upside (aside from maybe Van Leith - but she's got a relatively low ceiling too). I think the 2026 plan is to hope Olivia Miles makes it to wherever they pick so they have a young PG to pair with Reese/Cardoso and then hopefully take advantage of the ridiculous number of FA's expected this offseason.
  6. 22/10/4 with 5 TOs on 64% shooting vs. the Lynx.
  7. 19 - 11 - 4 in a win against the first place Lynx.
  8. You could take away every one of Reese’s offensive rebounds and she’d still lead the WNBA in rebounds per game.
  9. Yeah, your summer league high school rec team experience is definitely analogous to Reese averaging nearly 50% more rebounds per game than the next highest rebounder in the WNBA.
  10. She finished the game with 22pts, 15rebs and 4 assists.
  11. Reports were that he wanted to go to a team where he would have to opportunity to be 'the guy' as a rookie. That wasn't happening in Philly. He wanted to go to Washington, New Orleans, or Brooklyn.
  12. That guy would fit right in in this thread.
  13. There were 405 composite 4 & 5 star players in 2021.
  14. So apparently Jordon released a pic of this email from Bill B expressing his disappointment about how the PR for his book tour was going. Reading through there is a zero percent chance that Belichick wrote this email. Pretty clearly was written bv the 20 year old that isn't familiar with newspapers or headlines. UNC has to be at least a little worried that their new septuagenarian coach's girlfriend is writing his emails, no?
  15. Thats the 3rd or 4th mock draft I've seen recently with Banks to the Raiders.
  16. The letter Mongo dictated to all of his fans for his Hall of Fame ceremony: Fought his ass off to stick around for his well deserved induction into the HOF. Glad he is at peace - prayers to his family and friends. Special prayers to Jarrett Payton who lost his father Walter and now his 'adoptive' dad Mongo.
  17. Texas basically has a time share deal with Oak View Group for use of the Moody Center. Use of the facilities for the press conference would have used up one of the allotted 60 days.
  18. Was an assistant for Sean at Arizona 2009-2011. Makes 2 million a year at Rhode Island.
  19. Contract was signed in 2024. I think the buyout has dropped to 9.
  20. ‘Unlimited’ coaches reduces the recruiting impact.
