***WNBA Thread***

She's not 100% healthwise, has been playing restricted minutes most of the season, and is still averaging 21 pts, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 TOs, 1 steal, and 1 block per game. I agree they probably won't make a deep run, Boston being out is a huge blow and they're missing Natasha Howard way more than they thought they would. Billings has not filled those shoes at the 4 the way they thought she would, and Howard is killing it in Minnesota. I like Dallas, Minnesota, and Golden State. Those teams are gelling really well.

Minnesota has been surprisingly good without Napheesa Collier. Doesn't hurt that they struck gold in trading up to draft Olivia Miles.

On free League Pass watching Bridget's Fire down at end of first Q 16-24 at Lynx.

BC with 20 points looks strong, franchise player but Fire down by 9 with 6 minutes left-74-83. Is there another game on?

They're really really good and so is Dallas. I love Jess Shephard's game.

LOL that kind of press doesn't help Clark at all.

Mitchell having a solid night for Fever.

I don't get why people are still talking about the poster. I thought this was explained weeks ago that it was a licensing issue.

Expecting people to read beyond the headline.

Just getting back to her antics at Iowa. However, now she is the face of the WNBA to many, and the notoriety has definitely created a problem.

That ref has a nice story for the grandkids one day.

Go read the comments, people are just about done with CC. That was a really bad temper tantrum by CC for a screen where the opposing player actually tried to soften the blow.

Boy Shorti (white woman with purple hair) went on a rant.

She hasn't changed... and she won't. It's who she is... and unfortunately in this country... a LOT of people love her whining, crying, pouting, yelling, and flopping all over the place.

It just says a lot about where we are... it's sad to watch. If you want your own child to act like her while playing sports... that's a you problem. It's pathetic.

Grandkids: "But what was the WNBA?"

One of the things I don’t like about the WNBA is all the arguing with the referees done by the players. CC is the poster child for it, but it is very common by a lot of players. Unfortunately, in part I think it goes back in part to how bad the referees are in the WNBA. It would be interesting to see how things would change with NBA refs.

I actually think they love her passing, playmaking, shooting, scoring, etc.

The reffing is horrible. Most players complain. CC does it at a higher level. But most of them do it. The reffing is horrible. They need to invest in full-time employee refs like the NBA does and not part-time idiots who dabble in reffing.

There's no basketball league in the world where that is an illegal screen, for any player.

Caitlyns dad after CC whines. He knows she needs to stop it.
