Vibes in that locker room must be tense right now.


Chelsea Gray is a shell of her self right now which is killing them. Also, based on some of Wilson's frustration with her teammates, there definitely is some locker room issues going on.

It also doesn't help that their coach is the target of a federal lawsuit.

I wish those games didn't overlap.

AFAIK, Liberty-Sun is on channel 9 in NY and Lynx-Fever is on NBATV. Don't know about other streaming options.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.

Rodman, Moses Malone all rebounded their own misses too and they were praised. I wonder what the difference is?

Hmm. Just what is the difference....


They never missed on purpose

Thank you, I was unable to find anything regarding the Lynx/Fever. Google absolutely sucks now.

And agreed. What a dumb decision to overlap two games that frankly should be on national television

It's frustrating as a fan. I hope the new TV deal changes this.

I kind of like early Saturday games for the WNBA. 12-3pm PST is perfect

Lynx coming out hot with 6 threes in the first quarter. Clark got burned like 3x on those triples and she's started slow on offense.

Way too many fouls and stoppages in this game it's frustrating to watch.

Good game by the Sun. They defended us at a high level and made everything difficult

All credit goes to the Sun. They played a physical game and the Liberty did not match their intensity

Here's one of many, many examples of dog whistles that the WNBA endures. The first 5 words of a headline from an Internet article read, "The WNBA's Darling, Chennedy Carter ..."

She is not, of course, a WNBA darling. She has bounced among teams acquiring a bad reputation, and the league overlooked her for this year's All Star game, despite her big scoring numbers. But the dog whistlers portray her that way -- while also incessantly talking about how people pick on Caitlin Clark -- because doing so serves their political agenda.

I am old enough to remember when people did that to the NBA, calling out black players for their thuggery while staying quiet whenever white guys did such things, as with McHale closelining Rambis.

Yeah it's frustrating. Carter is not some angel, nor does the league even treat her as such. Call her an ass hole, by all means, because that flagrant against Mabrey was a dick move that could have broken her nose, but all that extra stuff is unnecessary. She's not the "darling" of the league. She's lucky to be on a roster with as many bridges as she's burned. That doesn't mean it's alright for people to start dog whistling every time she commits a hard foul or gets into it with someone.

Some folks just have to always make things weird, it's always anything BUT basketball.

This is some piss poor officiating



Watch Natasha Cloud get her head driven into the floor, brutally at that, due an accidental knee to the back of her neck.

Play should have been stopped immediately, someone's on the floor holding their head...I don't understand how that was okay
