***official 2024/25 womens bball thread*** playoff bball wins return to seattle brohans (3 Viewers)

What a performance by the Lynx last night.

My beloved Storm got up early, trouncing them. But oh man, Phee and McBride just kept grinding it out and methodically working their way back into it.

Do the GS Valkyries get the #1 overall pick? If so, really looking forward to Paige Buckets being in the Bay.

I don't know, and I'm not positive anybody knows for sure just yet.

But based on the previous expansions, I don't think the Valkyries will get the the #1 overall pick. Again, I don't know, so don't take my word for it.

But oh man, I love the name and the branding. WNBA needs more jobs and more opportunities, so awesome all around. But man, GS nailed it on the branding.
 
HS, McBride just keeps making it reign. Her and Collier are just so much fun.

McBride has dropped 15 3's over her last 2 games.

I am not a fan of their team colors yet. With Sac being an hour/hour and a half away, the colors are too similar to the Kings.

I could be wrong, but I think at least some part of the reason to go purple was a nod to the former Sacramento Monarchs.

But I dig the lighter purple. And the Valkyrie name strikes the perfect balance of being it's own, but with some relation to the NBA team.

Paul George has said he wants to get more WNBA players on his podcast (which I think is smart because the podcast world is lacking WNBA content)

Anyway @General Malaise he's got a great episode with your girl Brink.

And yesterday's episode with the German Unicorn, Satou Sabally, was really good.
 
I wonder if this thread will be a microcosm of the Clark influence and progression for the WNBA. By that I mean, I have a lot less interest in visiting this thread as it is WNBA based than the Clark thread thinking there will be more interesting discussion about impact, treatment, fluctuation etc caused by her hype. It's a more interesting discussion point to me.

I will be interested to see if this fizzles out to just the few posters that have dominated the posts so far or if there will still be a wider audience.

its a good point i mean she is a flash point for sure take that to the bank bromigo
 
Some huge games tonight.

Lynx visiting the Aces. Lynx making their case to be a title contender, and the Champs need to get right. They seem to be missing Gray badly, and they can't afford Jackie Young to miss another game. Collier vs. A'ja is can't miss TV.

Sparks playing Seattle. It might not be that competitive (spread is 11.5), but if somehow the Sparks pull off back-to-back wins against the Aces and Storm, this rebuild might be way ahead of schedule. Storm might be a little salty coming off a tough loss to the Lynx. Curious to see Brink vs. Ezi. Battle of some young, long shot blockers.

Mystics-Dream could even be fun. It would be so nice to see the Mystics finally get a W.
 
Catching up on this Mystics-Liberty game from the other night (man this Mystics team is so close).
Anyway, part of their struggle this year is that Brittney Sykes has been hurt.

They show Sykes sitting behind the bench.........in an Iron Maiden T-shirt!!!!

I know people like to argue about this and that about the WNBA, for some reason, but I think we can all get behind 30 year old Iron Maiden fans.
 
Some legacy stuff.

Lexie Brown is starting feel her flow in her 6th year, helping the young Sparks get it done.

Her Pops? Dee Brown!!!! If you're old enough, you'll never forget that dunk.

Diamond DeShields is a really good vet forward for the Sky. I don't even need to say who her pops is because you already know.

I think we have our answer already. Like the country in general, there is far more interest in Caitlan Clark than there is in the WNBA in general.
 
Wow, you expect the Lynx to be competitive, but taking the Champs out behind the woodshed is something.

34 assists on 37 FG. Lynx shooting almost 42% from 3......as a team. Move the ball and make it rain.

The Lynx are such a fun team to watch and I can't wait see this one later.

I think we all understand that the WNBA isn't incredibly popular. Particularly on a football message board with a bunch of old dudes.

If we're going to use this thread as a barometer, then Clark must not be that popular either. She's played one game since this thread started. Nobody mentioned it.

Well, except that one idiot that won't shut up about the WNBA (please disregard that if someone else actually did mention it and I missed it)

Well, you are the one talking about the WNBA all day and every day, so you sort of just told on yourself since it's clear you don't really like Clark even though you have you said do. Your postings repeatedly say otherwise. I remember in the previous thread, when she had that awesome game last Friday, you said something good about her team, but zero about her (link below). Had that been player x or player y, you would have gushed about them by name, like you have in this thread already, but it was Clark, so nada. It reminds me of some in the sports media who try to insist with general statements that they like Clark, but when they talk at length about the subject, it's clear that they are rooting against her. Why not just own it?

If "Great for the Fever" congratulating them for a win is somehow considered Clark-bashing, I don't even know what to make of that.

I like Clark, as I've said many times, and I like many players on this league. It's a great league.

One of the things I love about the league is that it's a very positive, supporting league. These women are competitive as hell on the court but they support each other and try to lift one another up. That happens in a lot of leagues but it's especially true in a league where most of the rest of the world doesn't care about it. They have to lift each other up.

The negativity is not coming from them. They do get upset when people put words in their mouths, as pretty much anybody would.

I didn't say you bashed her after last Friday's win; I said you said zero/nada about her (which is dead accurate). It helps to read what I said instead of putting words in my mouth (which is ironic given your last statement in your post here).

No worries, all good.

I do think the larger point is that people are becoming way too divided over what should be a player making a league better for women, and for petty reasons. For whatever reasons, Clark has captured the attention of the country and garnered a large fanbase, which is a good thing, as it shows that the population at large IS ready and willing to embrace a female athlete in a sport where men usually dominate 99.999999% of the headlines. And yet the are some who refuse to admit that Clark is THE reason why attendance and interest is way up. No, that doesn't mean that there aren't other players worthy of chatter and praise as well, but to act like Clark, whose games are drawing around 17,000 fans while games without her are drawing around 7,000, isn't THE reason the WNBA is being talked about so much now is both dishonest and troubling. And I have a feeling it's gonna get worse (probably when those in a certain realm start name checking her...ugh).

Keep up the good work - it is appreciated. I haven't had time to watch any WNBA - my free time is spent on soccer. I did get to catch Caitlin live in Iowa back in January 2023 - it was still possible to get a ticket at Carver. Curious to see how college tickets sell at Iowa next season - I plan to catch a couple games at Kansas.
 
I know the NBA used to have a charity-case spot for a college player (Laettner, etc), but if every American player in the NBA wanted to play for the US how many times would a rookie make the team? And I looked it up just now and the women have won every Olympic gold medal since 1984, except for 1992 (bronze). So the bar is (and should be) super high for a rookie.

That was not the NBA. That was USA Basketball that made those decisions to include a college player. In fact many don't realize/remember that the NBA really did not want to release the players to the Olympics at that time. They reluctantly allowed it as the players were gaining more and more power at that time led by Jordan.

Same as how it was not the WNBA's choice to leave Clark off the roster. It was USA Basketball's choice.
 
Man, the Sparks just ran into a buzzsaw with the Storm last night. It would have been a lot worse if Nneka and Ezi didn't both get into early foul trouble.

Storm seem to be on a mission and came out like it last night. Nneka playing her former team, surely added a little juice. She spent half the game on the bench in foul trouble, but when she was out there she was putting on a clinic. This team definitely seems like a title contender. They're still all just getting used to playing together. They could end up being special. SDS, Loyd, Nneka, and Ezi can go toe-to-to with anybody.

The Sparks have stolen my heart a little, so I hate to see them take a butt-whoopin. Even in this game, they were outplayed from start to finish, but they would just not go away.

Brink had her moments, but it was a lot of "welcome to the league, rook" moments. Ezi worked her, for the most part (and I think they are decent comps, it took Ezi 4 years to start to figure it out). SDS even took her into the paint gave her a fake that sent her flying through the roof.

Just gotta say, Brink is an absolute ray of sunshine. She's having a great year for a rookie, and she's going to be special one day. But there a lot of times this year where it just looks like an absolute S-show, and she's spent a lot of the year on the bench in foul trouble.

But she's out there just loving life and the process. Even on the podcast, she was talking glowingly about Tina Charles kicking her ***. This kid has an amazing attitude.

I'm sorry for burying the lead, fellas.
Mystics got a W!!!!

It was the first game back for Brittney Sykes. The Iron Maiden fan.

So, the Mystics are 1-0 as long as an Iron Maiden fan is running point.

And that team really is so good. Edwards is going to be special. Aside from her and Sykes, Atkins, Vanloo, Dolson, and Samuelson are all really good players.

They’ve selected a rookie before.

I think he was just saying the bar is high.
Taurasi made it in '04, and Candace Parker in '08 (also still the only rookie to win WNBA MVP). I'm not sure if there have been any others.

I don't know what the competition for making the team was like in '04 and '08. But in '24 it's insane.

Arike is scoring 27 points a game and didn't make it. Nneka's Olympic snubs are, of course, legendary (8-time All-Star that didn't even make it when she won the MVP in an Olympic year).
You've got Dearica Hamby, Kayla McBride, Jonquel Jones, Dijonai Carrington, and Skyler Diggins-Smith all having fantastic years and didn't even get a sniff.
 
I've only seen the highlights, but Angel Reese put her best game so far last night. 20-10 (4th straight double-double), going 8 for 10.

It was all right around the basket, but she looked like she's starting to get more comfortable.
 
More big games tonight boys and girls.

The Fever host the Dream. This is a fairly winnable one for the the Fever. Atllanta actually does have a lot of talent, but they just can't quite get it together. Some might say these are the two worst coached teams in the league. Clark gets to do battle with Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard (who just became the fastest to 200 3-pointers).

Storm take on the WIngs, and with the WIngs dealing with a ton of injuries, the Storm should roll. But when you've got Arike and chair, you've got a prayer.

Aces-Mercury should be great one. The Champs are reeling a little and the Mercury have 2 huge wins since they got Griner back.

The Sun-Sky game was a lot of fun.

It was closer than it should have been because the Sun were just missing shots. They are a vet team that knows how to win, so they just pulled it out.

But the Sky are fascinating. A lot like the Sparks. About half the time, it just looks like a trainwreck. Young players still learning. But you've got a lot of young talent playing their *** off. As hard as they play, they are never really out of a game, even when they are in over their heads.

Cardoso and Reese just look out of sorts a lot times, but they just keep fighting for rebounds and blocked shots.

And the Chennedy thing is wild. I think T-Spoon probably feels like she needs to keep her on the bench as a way to get through to her. But every game (and almost every half) ends up being the same deal. Sky come out, get down 10 early, look lost offensively. Chennedy comes in and everything turns around. If she's hitting her shots, she'll drop a quick 15 in a quarter. But even if it's not falling, her speed completely breaks down the defense, opening up everybody else.

Mabrey is really their only 3-pt threat, so their upside is limited to how well Mabrey is hitting shots.

But they are a fun team that plays hard and loves playing with each other.
 
Both teams coming out banging. Looks like it's going to be a great game.

I know all the Caitlin Clark fans in here are going to be real excited to weigh in on this game.
