2024 WNBA Season Discussion Thread

[Ghetto Gospel]

looks like the sun also have no deep shooting but they're like 13-1. after only watching the nba, it's a strange and foreign concept to me

Seems they’re destined to be one of the 2-4 teams standing in the end again, but you quickly question their offense and shooting as the reason they’ll come up just short.

After a slow start, Aces controlled most of last night’s game, nearly doubled the 3PA, and didn’t even shoot them well. What happens when the 3s do fall?

It was only one game, but seems like the Aces just have another gear offensively that the Sun don’t have by comparison. Even for a newer fan, there’s clearly a reason they went b2b…and having the best player always helps.

it also seems kind of unfair that the aces got the #1 overall pick 3 years in a row..? not sure how the league allowed that to happen. i know david stern would have made some calls

[Ghetto Gospel]

the sun haven't played against the other top teams very much so far this season

their only two losses are versus NY and LV.

I don't think that they are frauds, you have to play who they put in front of you, but it's something to keep an eye on.

just watching last nights game, it seems like they really struggle in the half-court cause the paint is always clogged.

they turn a lot of defense into offense so they can score against bad teams but i imagine against teams that take care of the ball well and can defend, that team just can't score.

Aces speed, pace and shooting has knocked the Sun on its heels. No show from Bonner.

Just seeing Gray really for my first time for a quick stint in her first game back, and tonight. Missed shots, but whatever there’s natural rust. More curious how she looks physically and moving around for those that know her game well?

Don't expect too many more 1 for 6 performances from Gray. She is an absolute nightmare player to defend offensively when she's 100%. She has to get her basketball legs back.

I have a ton of respect for her. Her 3 point shot is one of the deadliest in the sport as a Liberty fan I am not eager to see her again

Chelsea Gray's 2022 playoff run was one of the best stretches of basketball I've ever seen anyone play. In 10 games she scored 21.7ppg and 7.0apg, but her shooting was unbelievable: .611 FG%, .544 3P% (on 5.7 attempts per game), .655 2P%, .833 FT%, .719 eFG%, and .727 TS%. NO ONE shoots like that over 10 playoff games on the way to a championship.

Her shot has really been off in her first two games back, and last night she only had 1 assist. But in 17 minutes of playing time, she was a team high +19.

I think they take the aggregate of the current and previous season's record to determine the draft order

Yep that run was absurd. she is absolutely lethal

Stewie is just a dominant 3 level scorer.

[MrDollarBills]

Liberty 14-3. I'll take it. We look crisp.

[ellobo]

Nice to see Emily Engstler have a breakout game in a blowout win over Dallas. 23 points on 7-11 shooting, 3-4 from three, and 6-6 from the line, with 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 turnover in 25 minutes.

[hermes]

ok quarter to start. all collier and smith so far

[hermes]

hiedeman driving in on griner seems ill-advised

[hermes]

that was 3 tipped out of bounds passes in one possession, lynx with active hands in the passing lanes

[hermes]

brick city out there for phoenix, they can't make anything

[hermes]

bang mcbride!

finally starting to find our offense there at the end of the half

Tomorrows Fever @ Sky game is the highest average priced ticket in WNBA history. I worry what embracing the villain role will due to Angel's psyche, but in terms of popularity it pays to be the Heel to Catlin Clarks babyface.

CC wants to move future games to the United Center which would be cool. Doubt the Wintrust Arena would be happy about it.

why haven't they done already? seems like every other team has jumped at the chance to move their stop on the cc roadshow to a bigger venue

[hermes]

that doesn't seem like a great play to risk your challenge on
