Lol.

To both of you boys. I wander in here for 1 seconds and I'm greeted with this conversation. Brilliant takes guys.

Let me ask you a question: do you think that anyone outside if Iowa alums will give a rip what Catlin does with her career in 2 months?


I'll help you out.....no is the correct answer. No one cares about the WNBA. At all. This little girl won't changes things.

If you 2 truly think that she's a bigger/better star player PROFESIONALLY. Then you need to log off and perhaps look into other sports to follow. Just counting the money made for the owner-Booker will mean more to the Ishbia this year then Catlin will mean to hers for the rest of her career. To say nothing of who's the better player. Unless you 2 also think Catlin can beat Booker 1 on 1......?


Lol


You're not too bright are you.


Soooooo you DON'T wanna defend your take? Responding to post I made would be the move if you had something to defend Catlin being a better building block then Booker. Instead you give me this. Cool.

Tapout accepted.

this is so frustrating to watch. not because i don't like how they are playing. i don't like that they are not playing with this energy and focus every night.

He's talking in relative terms. Clark is being compared to Curry. Of course more people will know Book, he will make more money, etc. But Clarke is historic for her sport and she hasn't even gotten to the pros yet.


They can speak for themselves. Let them defend their takes like grown-ups.

I asked you a question in the other thread btw......still hoping to hear back about it. Really curious to your response.

I have no problem with Catlin btw. I support women's sports and it's good what she's doing for the whole look. Comparing her to Booker or anyone on his level is.......less than brilliant. IMO


The question was who do you build your team around. So in the NBA, if there was a draft of all players this summer, where would Book go? In the WNBA if there was a draft of all players this summer, where would Clark go?

It's obviously not a who would win on a 1vs1 matchup kind of question which you seem to think it is.

No.

I took it as monetary thing. As who is MORE valuable financially? Owners don't care if Catlin wins the next 11 WNBA chips if that collection of rings means less than what Booker could bring in.

Who is worth more? Who would you rather have (as an owner) if you're starting a team?

The question of who wins 1v1 I would think is pretty obvious.

I would love Herb Jones on the Suns. Sticky fingers. Reminds me of Bridges in a way, but I think he's actually better defensively.

Only 3 TO's recorded for KD but I thought it was closer to like 5. There was already 2-3 he coughed up just now

Slipping and sliding
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Oh, well you shouldn't have. Almost any NBA player is worth more than any WNBA monetarily because the WNBA doesn't even make any money.

The highest salary of any player in the WNBA is $242K. A minimum player, any minimum player will make like 4-5x more than that, and with any experience, the minimum players could make over 10x that.

You might as well be yelling in the clouds because no one is arguing with you about who would bring in more money.

6 was his most ever? That seems kind of weird. Didn't he have like 5 in the first quarter tonight?

this is looking awful in the 2nd half as expected. lloks like the pels might disrupt the suns with the zone defense.

Yeah, well, this sucks. They're taking bad shots and that's caused our lead to be cut down somewhat. They're not close to being through this game yet, but they're starting to coast as though they think it's further apart than it actually is.

Would be nice. The good thing is Booker will go on hot and cold streaks, but usually when he has a game like this, he has a number of them in a row....so in that case, VERY GOOD TIMING. It's nice to see them going to him and riding the hot hand, and Beal is ok with not getting a lot of shots.

Shots are the same but not all of them are going in. Do you think that the last 3 from KD was a bad shot? Or the corner 3 by Book?

They made more "bad" shots than those in the first half.

I figured it would get closer. It would be one of our worst losses if we blow it though....bouncing back from the OKC game to take like a 27 pt lead and then losing? Book will sit in the first 5 or so minutes of the 4th too so hopefully we stop the bleeding in the 3rd right now.
