Good first season from her though despite her breaking turnover records. It will be interesting to see what Indiana do in the offseason.

She had a really good game. I’d say they were battling both the Sun and the refs. In the end their depth was an issue as you can’t ask clark and mitchell to play at that usage and pace for 40 minutes.

Clark had a great year. Made the playoffs and fought a racist media and players all the way keeping her class and integity intact.

She also held off a racist uchieffybugger and made him eat his words over and over again

And for that we are all grateful

Now that she's out, it would be interesting to see the TV ratings the rest of the way.

Somewhere between Jimmy Swaggart reruns and the Weather Channel

The game was on at the bar last night. I've never seen so many missed layups in my life. Seems to be a recurring theme any time I catch a WNBA game.

That’s the part the league isn’t ready for. Clark is a different breed. Mitchell is also a terrific finisher. A lot of the rest of the guards in the league are more built for physicality and not speed and finesse. If the wnba was smart (and they’re not…) they’d get rid of the hand checking because it’s Jordan rules out there and the nba was smart enough to realize it was doing more harm than good

I think in college you see a lot more of these guards who play with the smoother nba style that most hoops fans are used to

Yeah, they are going to suck, and it will be glorious.

They need to kick the gatekeepers out. There are too many of their voices using dog whistles because they’d rather be the big loud voice in a small pond. Because they’ve become irrelevant everywhere else. They are starting to get it with some of the main coverage finally giving her her flowers. But there’s still an army of outrage mongers trying to cling on to their declining relevance.

And get the whole league some damn media training. If you can’t take the heat, stop baiting and get the hell off of social media

Had a record 2.5 million viewers in the last Clark game. The next game had 929k viewers.

https://www.si.com/onsi/womens-fastb...t-01j9571ppn69

"Lewis wrote that Clark and Indiana's Game 1 of the WNBA Playoffs first round against the Sun drew 1.84 million viewers (while competing directly with the NFL). Game 2 drew a whopping 2.5 million average viewers according to SportsPro Media.com, and peaked at 3.4 million on ESPN.

None of the other WNBA playoff games have come remotely close to that. Although they're still performing extremely well when compared to years past.

"Sunday’s Aces-Liberty WNBA semifinal Game 1 averaged 929,000 viewers on ABC, up 27% from Game 1 of last year’s WNBA Finals between the same two teams, which aired in the same Sunday ABC timeslot (729K)," Lewis wrote. "New York’s win, which peaked with 1.2 million viewers, outdrew all four games of last year’s Finals — the most-watched of which was Game 4 at 889,000 viewers.

"Viewership soared 60% over last year’s semifinal game on ABC (Liberty-Sun Game 4: 579K) to rank as the highest for the round in 22 years," Lewis added.

"Later in the day, Game 1 of the Sun-Lynx series averaged 654,000 viewers on ESPN — the largest semifinal audience on cable since 2000."

So while Clark's absence has been clearly felt, these metrics illustrate that the entire sport is growing. How much of that can be attributed to Clark is unknown, but the bottom line is that the WNBA is booming right now."

That last sentence is pretty ****ing stupid. I'd say almost all of this viewership boom can be attributed to Clark. Shes even helping break records while not playing. No one would have watched this trash without her.

First team all WNBA as a rookie. Is that good?
