    Yeah, not always a fan of Angel’s maturity level, but she is rapidly becoming a star in the W. Definitely earned a slot in the all star game. Has been playing much better, much sooner than I thought, rookie of the year selection will be interesting.

    It's Crohn's disease and can be a real bummer, very sorry to hear that. The Sparks taking some hits lately.

    Followed on Prime by Caitlin and the Fever vs the Seattle Storm featuring Texas-ex Joyner Holmes. 9pm

    Excellent.

    Damn, just traded for her a month ago. 2020 WNBA Rookie of the year. Dream at 11 on the roster, maybe clearing space for Celeste? Please? Would love to have Taylor on the Aces but I don't see that happening either.

    Dantas was already on the roster, just with a suspended (family death, visa issues, knee injury) contract which allowed the Fever to carry 13 players when the WNBA teams are only allowed 12. So, someone had to go. Dantas, not really an enforcer but a good player. The question is not, why did you cut Celeste over Damiris, it’s why did you keep Victaria Saxton – like Dantas, also a forward. Saxton - 10 minutes and 3 points total on the year. At least give Taylor a try, you need defense and she was the B10 defensive player of the year. Angel did torch the Fever and Celeste wouldn’t be guarding her, so perhaps they decided to keep all their forwards and try to find a solution to that problem. I definitely have a Celeste Taylor bias though, I hope she finds a spot in the league.

    Remember when Yao Ming joined the Rockets? "Back in 2007, when Yao Ming played his first NBA game with the Houston Rockets, more than 200 million people in China were watching. Today, over 500 million people in China watch NBA basketball." If Ms. Ziyu showed up adding to Clark's numbers the WNBA might need a bigger boat.

    She has the vision and skills to be the best passer, but the "best passer" can't also be leading the league in turnovers. But......a good number of those TO are due to the teammates not fielding a catchable ball so maybe so. I've always liked Chelsea Gray on the Aces (and the Olympic Roster) as well:

    Celeste Taylor is also a rookie on the Fever, she played ball at Texas, but left. One of my favorite players, I hope she gets some burn, seems really talented and a great young lady. Clark best not quit her day job.

    This may be true but I don't see it in the interviews. Mitchell and her seem tight. "On Wednesday, the Fever secured an 88-81 victory over the Washington Mystics. Following the game, Clark faced the media, who questioned her about improving her “off-target passes” moving forward. Before she could respond, Aliyah Boston intervened to defend her teammate. “It’s okay. It’s alright. It’s alright,” Clark’s teammate said to her. “Don’t worry, because you look at Caitlin and you look at the way she passes the ball and so sometimes things are going to happen that way and that’s okay because we’re not going to let her hang her head. “We’re not going to hang our head off of any missed passes because we’re still continuing to gel together and we know that she’s a great passer, so if she thinks she can get that ball there, she’s going to throw it. And if I miss it, then it’s we’re good. We’re alright. Don’t worry. We’re good.”

    Caitlin Clark on if she wished she would have taken more shots late: “I mean, sure, you can wish it. I’m sure there was an opportunity or two for me to probably attempt another shot there at the end, but I trust my teammates… I’m gonna give them the ball every time.” Seems to me that Clark is passing up shots to get her teammates involved. For this young team growing the whole group may be more important than hero-balling them to a win. Boston is getting better and better and you can directly tie that to Clark feeding Aliyah the ball at her favorite spots.

    Men are bigger, faster, stronger, more coordinated. Would you advocate then to disband all women's sports?
  13. TommysTinyTowels
    Great post.
  14. TommysTinyTowels
    Fo' Fo' Fo'
  15. TommysTinyTowels
    Absolutely. Try to run it through Boston as much as possible, Aliyah is really coming on strong now. Also helps to have a trio with cat-quick Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell is really fun to watch and compliments the skills of the other two.
  16. TommysTinyTowels
    Caitlin last night: 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 6 turnovers. She does have Manu-itis, tries to jam those passes into very small windows. Our very own Ariel Atkins on the Mystics had 27 points in the losing effort.
  17. TommysTinyTowels
    Well crap. Misses the rest of her rookie year and the Olympics. Women and the goddamn ACL tears, that's a full year gone for her. Who do we put on the 3 on 3 team now?
  18. TommysTinyTowels
    The women's game is played below the rim and is similar to the NBA prior to all the dunking and hyper athleticism. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I suggest you just don't watch it, but if you want to try and get into it watch Rori or Maddie on the UT women's team. You can get excited cause it's UT vs Aggie or whatever, and can watch some great players showing off a lot of heart and some remarkable skills.

    "Sources tell me Cameron Brink walked out of Mohegan Sun arena with no assistance, no ice, and no visible brace (but she was wearing long pants). Hopefully that’s good news, but Curt Miller did say post game she’d be evaluated tomorrow. " Still some concern of a possible ACL injury. Hopefully not, she has been playing well and significantly adds to this rookie class.
  20. TommysTinyTowels
    Becky's crew has really been struggling without her. Quite a drop-off from last year, will be interesting to see if they vastly improve with her back. Need to get Gray in game shape before the Olympics as well.
  21. TommysTinyTowels
    I remember it like it was yesterday. "After SMU's 82-79 loss to Texas on Feb. 28, losing coach John Shumate, irate because a foul was not called against Texas on a close play in the closing seconds, gave his Longhorn counterpart, Tom Penders, a hard hand slap instead of a shake. Penders was left with a jammed thumb but no hard feelings. "They tell me I'll be able to bowl by Monday," he said."
  22. TommysTinyTowels
    Real question / not attacking / would like to hear your opinion. Why is Clark getting all this when those before did not?
  23. TommysTinyTowels
    One or two years of eligibility?
  24. TommysTinyTowels
    Did anyone ever figure out who visited over the weekend? Everybody getting sneaky these days.
