2024-25 Season Discussion and Speculation

[lilfishi22]

Yeah, I hardly cared for the WNBA, it was just incredibly boring to watch for me. I been following it a bit more and even some women's college basketball last year while Caitlin Clark was there. She has definitely brought a level of excitement for the league, and I hope she gets them on the right track. It's awful to see so many bad takes about her from analyst and former players.

I mostly entertain myself with watching chess videos on top tier play, and just self-learning a lot of stuff via YT. I've been slowly detoxing myself away from social media such as Instagram, Facebook. Never really got into TikTok.

Just turning people into WNBA casuals in the first place is already a huge accomplishment considering how long the WNBA has been around, how many great WNBA players have come and gone and how many championships have been won without much fanfare. I get there are salty WNBA vets who have been doing great things for a long time but never got a fraction of the attention Clark was getting even for a regular college season game and now on an even bigger stage in the WNBA. Thing is, if people don't care, people won't care. They can kick and whine about a Clark who hadn't earned her stripes yet in the WNBA but ultimately, she got people to care enough to watch their games and she deserves the credit and recognition from them for this.

I mean, I care enough to know that Angel Reese is kinda not that good outside of being a beast rebounder

Genuinely curious as to what Phoenix fans see as the ceiling of this team and the best version of the team. I think the best version of the team has Bradley Beal coming off the bench and Booker continuing his play from the Olympics when he takes on the tough defensive assignments.

THT signing a partially guaranteed deal with the Bulls lol Not that long ago he was considered a dealbreaker for Lowry and Lakers chose him over letting Caruso walk. Literally never saw the hype with him.

*NBA Players Talking Shi* wandered upon this on my youtube journey today, give ya'll something to chew on for a minute. Got some Book, KD, and a bunch of reason why we always knew we hated draymond and russ.

Bro, even you can hit the bottom of the rim and get your own rebound. I mean she is God tier bad inside the paint lol.

Helsinki is great, but I need suns news!

KD sure works out with a lot of different people… What’s the connection with these dudes?

Here is a long video with KD and Ryan Dunn.

Dunn looks really promising playing one-on-one.

Watch on YouTube

[sunsbg]

Based on this video alone, ignoring any other evidence, Dunn is a good shooter. If he's a gym rat like KD there is a good chance it becomes reality being his form is solid even now. He also did pretty well staying in front of the offensive player and they mostly scored on him with long jump shots. The team needs someone like that against players who like to attack the basket.

Hit 105 degrees today in San Diego, real feel more like 112, had to work and I work outside. How the hell do y'all deal with this sh*t in Phoenix for more than a day? Especially if you have an outdoor job?

Man, it was rouuuuugh! I am a technician for AT$T and both jobs i did today were in the sun with no shade most of the day. Started to feel like i was getting heat sick, so I just sat in my van with the AC blasting for the last hour and a half of the day. Not sure how anyone can do that on the daily. My shirt could like... stand up on it's own with all the dried sweat and my pants looked like someone threw wet salt all over them. 1 out of 10, do not recommend. And to top it off, not many places in San Diego have air conditioning, including my house, so I'm just laying in bed still sweating with 3 fans blowing directly at me.

I used to live in an apartment with no AC and on hot days it was rough. I would just wrap myself up in a big wet towel with the fan going to cool off. Eventually I got one of those portable AC units which was a compromise because it was loud as hell but if I wanted to sleep or chill after coming back from work, that was my only option.

Told myself from then on, AC is a non-negotiable when looking for a place to live

I have one of those, but they not one window in my room, so if I put it in I have to use it since it's a pain to get installed with the way the windows are. The local electric company is insanely expensive. My bill this month is going to top $200 and that's just using a couple fans and barely turning lights on. I'd normally eat the extra cost for comfort's sake, but my district may be going on strike soon, and the southeast district for the country has been on strike nearing a month now, so trying not to spend money just in case.

You need one of these when working outside.

Makes you look like a moron but at least it helps you to keep cool.

It's dumb for them to be salty, because ultimately if it gets more popular, and especially if they get a tv contract, it will raise revenues which will raise salaries for all the players.

That temp feels WAY worse in SD than it does in Phoenix.
