Just stop. A slow, undersized woman would get worked every fucking time down the court on defense. Her vertical is probably around 12-15 inches. The two games are so fundamentally different, she would

Looks like Clark and Co. completely embarrassed Chicago tonight. She is just a flat out baller. Indiana is going to be great if they can add more shooting next year. Surround Clark with wings that can run the floor and shoot and this team is going to be on the level the Aces have been at the two prior seasons to this one.

She looks so horribly uncoordinated. 

That sums it up in fairly nice terms. If you told me Dennis Rodman had another daughter besides Trinity that was a basketball player who would rebound and completely neglected shooting and that this was her I wouldn’t believe you because the Worm put bunnies in for 2. She is, well, just someone I would never want taking any shot for my team. I would trust Ben Simmons shooting a three in Game 7 of the Finals for the win before I would trust Reece to make a layup

Sorry... Caitlin had 12 assists and 31 points

Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark was spellbinding with 31 points, a career high, and 12 assists. She is the fifth player in WNBA history with 30 points and 10 assists in a game and third to achieve that stat line in regulation.

It's not just her inability to make easy buckets. That video of her double dribbling her way down the court makes me cringe. She looks like a 4 year old kid in a youth league game.

yesterday espn released their wnba rookie rankings where they had angel reese at no.1 ahead of cc. it was an espn+ article where you could see that they had reese no.1 even if you don’t subscribe. the clickbait was so asinine i didn’t even share it here. whoever wrote the article should retire from shame. angel reese is flat out not good at basketball. what a joke this whole “rivalry” is.

It’s somewhat incredible to me that she has made it this far as a player without being able to be good at aspects of the game that are taught to players while they are in elementary school. Not everyone is going to have Magic Johnson’s ability to lead the break, but to dribble like you just started playing basketball last week is something that is worthy of the Torbush gif.

Clickbait.   Manufactured drama.  And racism.

Clark went into Chicago and spanked the Sky's fuckin ass tonight. 

Consolation prize: another meaningless double-double for Reese.  11 rebounds and 10 points on 4-9 FG and 2-5 FT while amassing 5 fouls and 4 TO.  To her credit, a scan of the game log implies none of her OR's are from her own missed shots.

Going to go out on a limb and guess 80 percent of the crowd was there to see Clark. No way they showed up to watch the home team that’s now 11-20 on the season. It’s also not a super long drive for people to make from Iowa or Indiana.

Despite Reese’s presence the Sky’s attendance is up 1600 per game

Garbage teams gonna do garbage things. Stilll you would think the league office might want to start handing out some hefty fines and suspensions for this stuff since the excessive fouls are targeting the face of the league. 
 

Or they can just let this keep happening and continue to turn people off to the sport.

How much of the overall increase is from games where the Fever are the opponent? Like a solid number showing the percentage of fan increase due to games played at home against them.

I’m not a math whiz but I would think she is a factor.  
 

if you’re a Reese fan, do yourself a favor and don’t google “Indiana fever attendance.”   Caitlin is her
