  1. Exhibit B In a 12 team league there is ZERO excuse for having 3 gms starting at the exact same time.
  2. More than ever its clear that Cathy Engelbert isnt the person to lead the league in its next steps of growth. Daily there are reminders of that.
  3. Was just coming to post this. Could be a pretty big deal for a team that is in the #5 spot currently and has been playing pretty well all season to get someone as good as she is. It could just as easily be an issue as she does need the ball in her hands a lot and they have Jewel and SkyDig with Nneka needing touches too.
  4. Fuck Simmons but he's not far off here. I dont know if they will get 6B but they will definitely get 4B each for the new teams. I dont believe that would be considered BRI so it wouldnt be shared with the players. The owners would make a statue for Silver getting them 8-10B to put in their pockets
  5. Flying high out of the break and peaking at the right time. Looking like a tough out for someone come playoff time.
  6. Good stuff from one of the best to do it
  7. Picking up where she left off. Got the season sweep of the Mercury
  8. ET here. Its absolutely not worth staying up for. I catch clips on twitter.
  9. Interesting list. I like Angel more than most clearly but I'm not sure she belongs on this list. She is not better than any of the players she is above.
  10. Really wild how poorly the Aces handled her whole situation with how good the Aces org has been.
  11. Did good numbers even with the bad start time.
  12. DT not playing (Jewel Loyd didnt play either) yesterday was not a referendum on player selection. Its a numbers game. There are not enough mins in a 40 min gm to give 12 people meaningful mins so realistically someone (ideally 2 IMO) should sit every game. In the blowout wins they had earlier it was easy to get everyone 5-6 mins but in a tight one you try and find something that works and then stick with it, minutes be damned. BG only played 5 mins, Alyssa Thomas and Sabrina only played 10 each. Its nice to have players who can be ready when they are called though. Copper and Ionescu didnt play until the 2nd half. Sabrina didnt really move the needle while Copper definitely did so she stayed on the court once she got on playing almost the entire 2nd half. Now we have 4 yrs to make sure the next team is stacked like this one is. Aja and probably Sabrina are the only real locks given age. CC, Angel, Paige and maybe even Juju (especially with the games being in LA) will be ready. Will be interesting to see what the roster looks like by then.
  13. Surprised the o board count was even. Seemed like France was getting o boards constantly. And yeah the refs were definitely letting them play.
  14. That was by far the worst game they've played. They got killed on the o boards, turned it over way too much, missed a lot of bunnies and barely even shot 3s. Didnt matter though. Win is a win
  15. The gold medal game was an absolute GRIND but the ladies get it done!!!
  16. yeah and despite all of that he isnt better than the 2 guys ahead of him at his position. He should know going in that to get mins he was gonna have to grind on defense and do other things. Unless he was far and away better than KD/LBJ in practice he is never going to be the focal point. If he played 3-5 mins when games were decided would that really be any different?
  17. Ever since pros started going to the Olympics its been about sacrifice and figuring out your role to fit in for these Olympic situations and now we have people whining about someone not getting mins while they are winning. I could almost see it if they were losing. Almost. Further, are these people really thinking he should be playing over LBJ and KD?!?? No team goes 12 deep in 48 min NBA gms but they are expecting everyone to get mins in a 40 min gm?
  18. This is commonly referred to as bitchassness
  19. Maybe its more that the line was around 30. Japan doesnt have a player over 6'1 and many expected it to be a complete rout from the tip. It actually turned out to be a pretty good game but depending on what else was on the schedule for the day, I could see people passing on the matchup.
  20. While I would love for that to be permanent, its clear that every gm someone will sit which is actually a good approach. Probably should be 2 a gm like in the first one. In a 40 min gm, trying to make sure 12 guys get decent mins is pretty much impossible.
