Racism

Caitlin Clark has more assists than 75% of all WNBA players, all time.

Dawn is a racist like uchieffybugger

It's a bummer he got banned from this thread. I'd love to see him dig in even deeper.

Staley is a giant pain in the ass all the time, I’ve seen it as a Mizzou fan playing them. They play dirty and she’s the reason behind it. It’s not just a Clark thing, it’s her whole persona

I debated on whether to let this thread die because it's just not as much fun with out UChieffyBugger in here to defend this crap, but decided to anyway.....

Her layup package kinda reminds me of mine. A bunch of bricks off the rim while standing directly under it.

As a side note, I completely forgot about Clark until this thread.

Makes me wonder about her staying power. Feels like the WNBA is doing more to resist her than to capatilze on her fame. Lets see how that works for them.

This whole debate is the dumbest shit ever. Caitlin clark is a rookie steph curry who makes mistakes doing difficult shit at a high usage position and angel reese is Andre Drummond who does one specific thing very well but is a liability as a scorer. Angel is a good player for that role but this shit is an absolute joke by media members who have a toxic agenda. I've said it before, the wnba is the toxic dump for all the media activists who got booted from other sports because everyone was sick of them. These are people who were too activist even for espn

Instead of embracing her as a star and admitting that some little white girl from Iowa might actually be the savior of their league, they're doing their best to downplay her.

Lets see how that works out for them.

Just broke the assist record.

Amazing

Man I hope Reese gets the ROY award to just take the mask all the way off.

Watching that layup video of Reese and the only conclusion I can make is that she has always just been the biggest at every level and has not had to learn any actual basketball skills as a result. We all knew these types of kids growing up and they can sometimes make it to college but by then they typically get filtered out and exposed. It’s just that in women’s basketball there’s simply not enough talent and size to make that happen to Reese.

The highlights from the recent games make it clear they never should have let her have that time off to rest. She's making the old heads look ancient. Their pick and roll game had Cunningham looking special ed and her constantly shoving the ball down the court for two step scores is changing the whole game.

She is the ugliest player

I mean, that's exactly what many thought would happen. The time off was perfect to avoid any sort of "wall" and to let her body rest/heal. Clark is going to go on a tear and leave little doubt about ROTY.

To her credit she is a hell of a physical player. She is definitely an elite rebounder and she's good on defense. But she plays bully ball and she should have used the break to learn post moves. So for now she is Andre Drummond except she's a pretty good free throw shooter. A lot of people want to say shes trash and she's not. Lots of teams would love a Clint capella, it's just a very different thing than having steph curry

These are the type of "highlights" that get tweeted for the wnba

Just never worth watching if it isn't Caitlin Clark.

There is not one player in the NBA...maybe not even in D1 basketball that is a big and shoots below 40% from 2. Its so bad I cant even believe it.

Caitlyn Clark shoots 55% from 2....and shes a GUARD who shoots alot of shots from further out. Angel is missing point blank shots over...and over again. I don't even know why a coach lets her play shes so bad offensively. Maybe that is a disconnect between NBA stats and WNBA stats (bigs and players in the WNBA may shoot lower percentage from two because they arent as athletic as NBA players) but it is god awful.

Pf

I mean, trying to claim angel reese is anywhere near Clark’s league is just laughable. Her offense game is hilariously bad. However without a doubt she’s an exceptional rebounder and excellent on defense. She’s Andre Drummond except she can shoot free throws and has defensive range. She’s absolutely an impact player and deserves the minutes

ANGEL IS A BEAST!!

Damnit. You beat me to it. LMAO

Just look at her go, folks! LMAO

She's like Rodmans reerunned little sister

She does play hard, so there is that.

If she didn't suck at cupcake baskets she'd have 1/2 the rebounds and woukd be irrelevant.

The worst NBA big at 2 point FGs is Jaren Jackson Jr at .501. Angel is .398

Aja Wilson 51%
Brittney Griner 58%

Damn, I saw it on and didn't watch. Would have been worth it just to say I saw that masterpiece live.

But the effort MIA, the effort is there!

If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't know the WNBA existed.

Caitlin looks like oil drips out of her pussy

That quote was from her own coach.

Looks like me 4 putting a par 3 then hi-5ing the beer cart girl

Then impregnate said beer cart girl

Rofl

She would still average 10 RBs a game and be a solid defensive player. Imagine andre Drummond if he wasn’t a massive free throw liability and if he had range to defend outside.

It’s just her offense game is atrocious. They gotta stop comparing her to a generational player. If they did and she passed to the open shooter instead of embarrassing herself she would be a really solid foundational piece for her team

ROFL

****ing perfect.

I would like to petition we allow UCB back in here to defend this crap.

Curious how Lady Rodman did.

Lets just call it what it is, black racism

10 points 12 rebounds and her team has a losing record.

Half of those points were in garbage time with her team down by 25.

Clark put on a SHOW.

Good for woman's sports

Holy spam bot batman

Your oil?

UCB, come out to play..

https://media0.giphy.com/media/Sf33a...=200w.gif&ct=g

This LeBron bitch is killing it

They left her in after the blowout so she could get her double double in garbage time against the other bench players.

She should be embarrassed.

I live in Indiana and Clark has been a revelation here. She’s legit as popular as Tyrese Halliburton, if not more so.

First time I’ve ever kept up with what the Fever are doing, that’s for sure.

Before Indiana pulled their starters Reese had 5 points off 2-7 shooting. As soon as the fever pulled their starters Chicago designed play after play after play specifically to iso Reese.

She would easily have broken the record in one of the upcoming games. Doing it like this, how could either the coach or Reese have signed off on it? That’s just embarrassing.

I have to think her teammates are sick of it as she has multiple times done this, griped about not getting the ball and celebrated her achievement even while the team got dominated. And I have to think other teams are sick of her shit because this is horrendous sportsmanship when the winning team pulls their starters and tries to run the clock out. NY took it personally when they tripled her, and Indiana looked like they were laughing on the bench. As much as the outrage mongers claim she “represents the culture” I really wonder if the players themselves respect her at all anymore

Travis kelce had a chance to create an almost insurmountable milestone by getting 1 simple reception to hit 1000 yards. Either he or Reid decided to bench him and get him fresh for the playoffs. We won a Super Bowl with kelce dominating in the playoffs.

Angel Reese down by 25 stays in the final minutes to stat pad. Acts proud to earn her flowers in a loss. All with a road game coming up on Sunday. This is like Pacheco throwing a tantrum to get the ball up 21 with 2 minutes left with a Thursday game coming up.

Lol hey everyone I hear you've missed me? ROFL Firstly thanks to the mods for giving the people what they wanted and allowing me back :thumb: .

Soooo Clark had a great night last night didn't she? It was impressive but let's be honest Chicago were missing key players and are low in confidence after somehow letting Aja Wilson loose under the rim to beat them In the last two seconds.

Since I was last here Clark has certainly improved but she's not been alone. Mitchell has been sensational and so has Boston. Smith has also been decent. So she does have support but Reese has a rookie big in Cardoso and Carter who is out injured right now. Chicago's best shooter in Marina Mabrey demanded a trade and was dealt so it's been a rough spell.

One last thing I'll say is the issue I talked about before is Clark's turnovers and I have to be honest. Ten turnovers in the last two games and nineteen in the last four games is rough.....

But anyway it's good to be back guys and hopefully we can keep things respectful o:-)

Is it that she's white that makes you hate her, or because she came from and played for Iowa?

I for the life of me can't think of any other reason. Unless she didn't respond to your love letters.

They should change the team name to the Chicago Shit Stains.

Someone should tell that twat that she's not playing football.

Here is what is actually happening. A fair read, not some canned Twitter comments

Reese is an elite rebounder. And she’s a good defender. She is Andre Drummond except she has more defensive range and isn’t a liability at the FT line. Unlike Drummond she’s horribly inefficient under the basket. Her entire bag is built around motor. Her entire game is built on bully ball and reshooting off her misses. She has no post moves, she has a bizarre low release on short shit instead of going straight up, she is too ineffective outside of 5 feet to space the floor, and rather than shooting 30% off of horrendous heaves she should be kicking it out. They’ve gotta stop coddling the kid. The way she forces shots late in games and even is their primary tech FT shooter all to chase a meaningless record… why would the coach do that and I can’t imagine the team appreciates it. If she develops a post game and mikan drills til her hands bleed she’ll be one of the better bigs. But until then people need to stop insulting our intelligence with these bs comparisons.

Clark creates a lot of turnovers. Surprise, a qb is going to have more turnovers than a RB, and a rookie qb is going to have even more. Peyton had 28 INTs as a rookie. Clarks teammates are playing great but it’s because they are adapting to what clark uniquely does. Mitchell is thriving because clark pushes an absurd pace and Boston thrives because defenses blitz clark. And now they are unstoppable because Boston has learned to become Jokic. They are playing within a system clark is uniquely qualified to run. Clark makes the system run and she is setting the offense up for success. That’s why she’s not only the undisputed ROTY, let alone a candidate for mvp runner up.

You forgot she's a whore

I think comparing Reese to Drummond is way off base and totally inaccurate. Reese is an elite defender who can guard bigs, forwards and guards. Drummond can't do that. Then we have her rebounding skills which are at this rate historic in the men's or women's. She's simply outstanding on both ends be it offensive or defensive rebounding. Offensively yes she's a work in progress but she has hit threes and midrange jumpers on and off all season and I'd expect that to improve as she gains more experience. The tools are there for her to improve offensively and if she does she could be Kawhi lite imo.

It's funny how when the Fever were losing everyone blamed her teammates. Now they are barely 500 "her teammates owe Clark everything"?? Mitchell has been balling since the start of the season so I don't agree that it's solely down to Clark.

Also I think that excuse regarding her turnovers is weak. Quality players don't give the ball away as prolifically as Clark does and it's a habit she had in college too. And what makes it worse is many of them lead to easy buckets for the opposition. When the playoffs start that's when such habits really come home to roost as they did when she lost back to back finals with Iowa.

If you wanna talk about qb's then Brett Favre might be a good Clark comparison tbh. But I digress.

They had pretty much the same roster last year and they were absolutely terrible.

Clark has completely turned that franchise around. They are going to be playoff bound after being the worst team in the league last year.

Meanwhile, the Sky are much worse with Reese.

Don't you ever put the two in the same sentence again, mr!

Clark throws dimes to her teammates and they miss the pass, so turnover for Clark. Also, I've never in my life heard a group of people argue so hard that one basketball player is better than another and their main argument is that the player is superior because of rebounding.

Reese is fine, but she's not more valuable than most of the scrubs in that league. Clark will go down as the best women's basketball player of all time and Reese will be the girl that tries to bully her like some middle schooler.

Clark has several high draft picks surrounding her including Boston who was the rookie of the year last season. Reese doesn't have the same support.

Boston= 1st overall pick
Smith= 2nd overall pick
Mitchell= 2nd overall pick
Samuelson= 4th overall pick
Berger= 7th overall pick
Hull= 6th overall pick

Clark will never be seen as the best if she continues to be a turnover machine and average on defense. Aja Wilson is by far the best player in the league imo.

They were all there last year and they were terrible LMAO

The only difference is Clark THIS year, and they are much much better.

You are one sad, bitter man.

He's in a corner and can't correct. At least he follows women's basketball.

Chicago was terrible too but people expect Reese to be Jordon. Fact is having a bad season doesn't mean you don't have top talent. Consistent top draft picks is now benefitting the Fever.

Ok then let’s call angel Reese Clint capella and that’s being generous because capella is an accurate shooter. As any player who shoots almost all their shots within 5 ft should be. Capella is a good and valuable player but he is nowhere near Steve Nash which is who clark probably best compares to.
And her outside game has been far from good. Defenses are giving her wide open shots because they don’t respect it and she’s still iffy, although at least she’s trying to space the floor recently. She’s gotta do way more than be iffy hitting uncontested 3s with a slow as shit shot. Until she does these things she doesn’t open it up for her team like Caitlin does. Because she can’t create her own shot and she doesn’t space the floor.

Clarks turnovers need to be cleaned up. She makes too many unforced errors. But that’s just false that quality players don’t create turnovers. For decades a lot of the best offensive point guards are turnover leaders. But you can’t compare her to other wnba point guards who are more Alex smith. Favre is a fair comparison except that 1 bball turnover isn’t nearly as deadly as an interception. So if that turnover opens up the offense and allows for their frenetic pace the benefits by a mile outweigh the costs.

Also critics of clark like to talk out of 2 sides of their mouth that angel has no help yet criticize clark for not winning a national championship with Iowa recruiting against sec super teams. Clark’s tendencies are not the same in the pros. If anything she’s been criticized for being too much of a team player and passing too much at times. She doesn’t have the obligation anymore to do way too much like she did in college.

Good win for Indiana today. Clark with 28 points and 12 assists, Smith with 14 points and Mitchell a huge 36 points.

But the same issue reared it's ugly head again. Clark had another SEVEN turnovers which means she's had 26 In her last five games and she's absolutely smashing the wnba turnover records right now.

Indiana are over 500 for the first time this season though so congrats to them.

Nobody cares

The turnover bullshit is the weirdest flex when others are acting like rebounds are some kind of holy grail. I’ll put this in simplest terms. Nobody here wants Patrick mahomes to take a ton of checkdowns. Why in the living **** would an offense who’s greatest strength is to sprint the floor want to Alex smith the ball into some boring half court offense where you boringly pass it into the post and hope she can create some kind of a score.

Go root for Alex smith if you want a bunch of safe passes that don’t actually help you win

Half of her turnovers are passes off the hands of unsuspecting teammates who would have had a layup...

So you'd accept Mahomes throwing four or five picks a game? Because that's the equivalent of what Clark is doing and that's why she lost back to back finals. It's fine putting up good offensive stats in the regular season but those turnovers become crucial when the bright lights shine in the playoffs and she needs to fix it because giving up the ball to the top teams will have you down big fast.

and as I just said, many of those passes should have been caught and counted as an assist with an easy layup...

ROFL yeah right, white girl already the best
