Great game. It's getting chippy now too

Very entertaining game. Wrong time for the Fever to have their best performance of the season lol (especially defensively). Cardoso needs to start immediately. Elizabeth Williams is a fine player but undersized. AB shut her down completely.

At this point I don't need to see anymore data. Angel Reese is an elite rebounder at the pro level. The offense will come but you cannot teach what she does. She is relentless

we need to start calling her Caitlin James cause she is a major flop artist.

She is starting the narrative that she is a whiner and a flopper. She def need to hit the weight room.

Angel hardly touched her and she went flying. Lol

I'm not sure what led to this but this foul and the subsequent FT made by CC pretty much cost the Sky this game if you think about it.

I'm all for roughing up rookies but this is just a dumb play.

Also the Fever team is soft. They never defend Clark when she gets roughed up. They sit there and watch.

I could not rock with a team that did not have my back.

Yeah I don't think Boston needed to throw a punch but she absolutely should have gotten in Carter's face to say something, she was right there. That was not a basketball play. If it was a bang bang play fine, but that was deliberate.

Clark is getting played up physically. It's expected but I wanna see less chirping at the refs and more teammates stepping up to check ppl who do that.

No need for brawls, but the ladies as well as the men, seem not to check folks for hard fouls (if they see it as extreme)..maybe they don't these days.

The coach tweeted the WNBA about the Carter play. I’ve never seen this. Not sure if Christie Sides understands the significance of that may have.

There's a huge racial component to debates with Caitilin/Angel Reese on X right now. I mean it's always been a cesspool but there's a very strange dynamic going on with WNBA fans that have triggered race wars. Wasn't alive for Magic/Bird stuff so idk if it was ever that crazy, but it's really putting a damper on what should be a fun rivalry..

They want Clark out of the league. It’s pretty clear.

All of these people are f*cking pathetic, this is basketball. Leave the racism out of it. Was it a racial attack when Alyssa Thomas basically chokeslammed Angel in mid air like the Undertaker?

This stuff poisons everything and ruins the fun. I can't help but notice how people are doing everything that they can to spew toxicity around the women's game.

Last week Luka cussed out Rudy Gobert and was talking a ton of sh*t to Ant-Man as things got heated during Mavs/Wolves. Yet no one made it about race, because it's guys hooping and being competitive. Why is what's happening in the WNBA any different? Are people that triggered by seeing women being fierce competitors?

I'm sorry, but CC needs to toughen up, and her teammates need to show some backbone. If you aren't prepared to stand up for each other, it explains a lot as to why this team looks so disjointed.

No one is going to make this easy on anyone. These rookies all have the target on their backs. The veterans are going to test them. This is nothing new.

The other players. You could have figured that out

That's a wild assertion on your part.

As a born-again WNBA fan it's severely compromising my enjoyment, but I'll make do. No, the Magic/Bird stuff wasn't even in the same galaxy.

On top of the race issue, gender is playing a huge role. Also, the misogynoir from black men is on full display. It’s really making it less enjoyable to watch.

Yes because this was all started by this one moment.

A large portion White America and casual BB fans who only started watching because of CC could not handle their princess being treated like this and it’s been a war since.

Let’s keep it 100%

Prior to this moment …..Angel and CC were not even connected.

If Ant Did this to Luka nobody would care.

All of this tension started a whole year prior, it just spilled into the wnba.

the undertone is that “they” need to kiss CC feet…. Which brings a whole new element to it.

The league is majority Black ….so we already know what the Drill is…
