Angel Reese Appreciation Thread

Don't forget, she also wears a similar support on her left shoulder. I think it's a fashion statement. I expect to see them covered with sequins any day now.
 
If these women could shoot 60% with regularity from the paint, double doubles would be more prevalent.
 
Since the Fever are playing like crap, I check the box score of the Chicago Sky game and Angel only has 7 points with less than 30 seconds to go. I think to myself well maybe at least we won't have to keep hearing about her double double streak. Nope. A layup and then put at the line with 6 seconds to go to get free throws to get to 11 points. FFS.

Isn't that the second game in the streak where that happened?

Anyone know where I get a custom Angel jersey with the name "Bayou Bimbo" & the number "1.2"?

Well, the Liberty pulled away from the Sky, but Reese barely scraped out another double-double. She finished with 10 points (5-17 FG) and 10 rebounds. Of course, the announcer lady talked up "history" being made with 15 straight DDs despite the fact that Reese's game was kinda lousy.
 
Looking at the stats a few minutes ago, it looked like Reece wasn't going to get it, then all of a sudden she got 4 more rebounds. I'll give you a guess on how she did that.

Yeah, I looked at it about mid way through the 4th quarter and she had 6 rebounds. I had no doubt she'd get to 10 somehow. At this point, she could have zero rebounds with one minute left and you just know she's going to get to 10.
 
Chicago was trying to get Reese the DD at the end. They got the ball to her, but she was swarmed by four Liberty players and had to chuck it back outside. At that point, she wanted it again, but Carter wisely decided to dribble it out. If you have to stat pad at the end of games to keep a streak going, the streak is garbage.

While I don't really care if Reese gets a DD or not, I'm glad the streak is over so we don't have to hear about it constantly. A DD can be very overrated. It's quite possible to have a lousy game and still get a DD. We just saw that a couple games ago and it nearly happened again today. The announcers/media make it sound like a DD is some kind of phenomenal feat.
 
Yeah I'm sure there's some advanced stat/metric out there that proves that AR shooting 31% from the field the last three games as a PF playing a few feet from the rim is actually a good and impressive thing.
Right now, the Fever are up on the Sky by a half game. If the Sky end up above Indiana, then they'll use the "Better record" to justify it maybe?
