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
