And lets be real; the Fever blew a 15 point lead and lost by 1 point. It "should" be 3-0 in the series.
13 and 11 for a big in a league where no one can jump is not all that impressive. She had a good game against the Fever because Smith is the worst defensive big in the league. And I would say Clark had a better overall game last game and Clark won the first two, but everyone seems to forget that.
Angel is a very good player and anyone denying that is trolling. Angel was also very good in the first half of the Elite 8 game before getting injured. The rivalry is secure.
But you said earlier that a "hatred of black women" is putting blinders on CC fans, and this needs to be called out for the easy-breezy defamation it is. Angel Reese and Sheryl Swoopes are obviously resentful and petty women, and their behavior and verbal animus towards Caitlin speak for itself. If they were both Irish Catholic we would rightly dislike them as well.
At the same time, it is obvious to anyone less naive than a 6 year old that theirs is a racial alliance.
The #2 and #3 picks were both generational bigs and are 8 and 5, and 9 and 7 respectively.
U a dummy.
I demand that this WNBA thread reach 200,000 views by the end of the day.
Thank you.

Also, in this scenario you’re referencing the Fever gane sold out roughly 20,000 tickets in 30 minutes. What if the arena held 25, 30, or 40,000 people? Still may have sold out and the Chicago game was 10,000..
You just made the argument for us “complete morons” ….
CC = superstar all on her own
Angel = needs CC, or no one knows who she is
The Larry-Magic dynamic was equitable.
Five other players do and many others don’t shoot 37% inside the paint to get more offensive rebound opportunities.
She’s got a terrible looking shot, I’ll grant you that! However, she’s the same height as Smith from the Fever and just abused her the other night. 25 and 16. I can’t stand her offensive game but she works the glass hard. To say otherwise is just plain wrong.
She’s a very good rebounder, no doubt, but I’m talking about her as an overall player. She’s a good overall player, not great.
Wait, are we talking about popularity, or basketball? If it's popularity, then you truly are morons.
This is what I don't understand. People are acting like Chicago won the championship. There was no way that the Fever were going to go undefeated against them in the season series and they still lead the series 2-1. I feel like the biggest thing holding Indiana back right now are stupid coaching decisions.
What if CC and Angel had ended up on the same team. Angel does have excellent hands. CC would have set an unsurpassable record for assists.
I've always had the view that AR is a great rebounder, but not particularly athletic or great at other basketball skills. She historically hasn't shown that she's great at anything other than rebounding. Often times I've thought that her shooting, ball handling, etc. were mediocre at best. Sunday she showed some really good skill finishing in the paint and even passing. If she can play like she did Sunday most of the time, I think she might be heading toward greatness. Time will tell if she can actually do that.
Angel is highly driven and she knows that if she wants get what Caitlin has she can only bullshit for so long. She knows she is going to have to make waves on the floor and she seems to be working really hard to do that. Cardoso seems content with playing the support role here and doing the things necessary to allow Reese to be the "star". So, credit to her for stepping up her game. She certainly is on a path to be a top player in the league, but that doesn't take away from what Clark has been doing. Reese is also on a team that seems to be all in on making her the face of the team and is doing everything they can to make that happen. Unusual for a Chicago team not to piss away a winning ticket.
Apparently you are the moron if you think Angel’s skills are anywhere near CC’s level.
She will indeed be forever tied to CC. In her entire career , the thing she is most noted for is doing that thing to Caitlin Clark. CC on the other hand is most noted for NCAA scoring records, being one of the top assist leaders in NCAA history, winning virtually every player of the year award...most of them twice...and selling out arenas wherever she plays.
P.S. fun fact, the reason why we Iowa fans/Caitlin Clark supporters know this jealousy isn't about race (or at least it certainly didnt originate from our side) is because one of the OGs of Caitlin Envy was the mostly white Indiana Hooisers led by white coach Teri Moren.Are you aware of why people watch sports? Because it is elevated human drama. (Well, if you were gonna tell me why, then why ask me that question in the first place?...................)The Angel vs Caitlin conflict is easily the most compelling rivalry of the past twenty years. (Lol if you're taking Reese's side, sure. Now I get why Nebraska fans whined for years about not being rivals with Iowa.) People have latched on to Reese because she clearly dislikes Caitlin and baits her constantly. (And that's not a problem with our society?......................The correct answer is, "yes it is a problem" but I'll let you give your answer.) Caitlin clearly dislikes her as well (Lol, nah. More like annoyed that this is one more thing she has to deal with. She had her own personal rivalries with other players in college and Angel wasn't one of them. Just because the media says something and because black people and Caitlin Clark haters want this to work........doesn't mean it's actually real.) and does everything she can to ignore her. (That sounds like a rivalry to me..........or more like a big sister ignoring a little sister. Think Iowa and ISU fans.
You all are letting your love for Caitlin (and in some of your cases, your hatred for black women) impede your ability to enjoy a rivalry for the ages. (And you are letting your admiration for Angel Reese, and your growing disdain for Caitlin Clark supporters impede your ability to understand reality.........which is that this is a manufactured "rivalry", started by Angel Reese for the clout/attention because she was a part of the growing jealous contingent of players/coaches/fans that didn't like all the attention that Clark was getting.)
You remember that sh**?
Or were you "watching" back then?
She's much better than I thought she'd be in the WNBA. I take solice in the fact that she's a huge idiot and will eventually fail due to her own stupidity.
Yes, it's hatred of black women. Sure it is.
Oh brother.....it's always about race with some people.
Or if he thinks Reese's popularity is anywhere near Caitlin's.
You're wrong. She is incredibly savvy and playing you all like a fiddle. You're just too shortsighted to see it.
.
She's consistent in that she's always covering her ass and throwing bodies under the bus. Caitlin shoots too much or she's too passive - just depends on what Sides needs to say to avoid responsibility for her own incompetence.
Sides is a dumbass, the sooner she's gone the better
On July 17 the Fever start a 30 day break for Olympics - great opportunity to fire Sides and retool with a new coach.
IMO, very soon the Fever will be forced to choose between Sides and Clark.
That isn't a choice.
Disgusting. .5 seconds to make a decision? Sides is failing on ball screens badly. But, gotta put the blame somewhere.
Because F*** Wisconsin.....................that's why?
Well, then perhaps these grown women should start doing a better job of boxing out the 22 yr old "dog".
Or maybe double team her every game like they do Caitlin Clark...................
It'll be interesting to see how these two get along come the All-Star games and eventually the Olympics, because they will be on the same team and some point sooner or later............
If I had to bet money, at some point in a game, Reese will ignore getting the ball back to Caitlin and then either give her a look or say something to her about not passing the ball to her.
CC could teach Reese some humility.
