Carter is as fast as Kelsey Mitchell. She is slicing the Aces up.

 

[longliveCS40]

Aces got the lead and then choked.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

It appears the Sky will pull this one out.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Here we go again with Reese.

 

[Franisdaman]

Aces got the lead and then choked.

Angel Reese would not be denied!

 

[JimStarr777]

Aces let Carter beat them. Never tried to double her….

 

[longliveCS40]

Plum should have given it up to Meg.

 

[JimStarr777]

Plum looks like absolute garbage

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Quite frankly, I get the same weird out watching Angel Reese. If it is even remotely possible, she is equally athletic and not at all athletic at the same time. She has an extremely quick first step and can jump, jump jump, jump one right after the other, but she never gets very high and she’s really not very fast getting up and down the court. She is an extremely bizarre athlete

Its like if they went to an elite high jumper and were like, "Hey, wanna play professional basketball?".........

 

[cmhawks99]

Plum just shot another near-airball. She is WAY off tonight.

She’s 0-7, that’s what makes CC so revolutionary. She’s 6 foot. She’s not super quick, but she’s long and quick enough, with long arms and big hands and she’s relatively difficult to shoot over if she’s up on her defender, she can slap balls away, she can block shots, but even if and when her shooting is off, she can rebound and throw passes like nobody’s business, and they are so terrified of her range she can go 0-10 and they are still gonna have somebody on top of her 28 foot from the basket.

Sabrina is the ONLY guard that is in her stratosphere IMO…

Incidentally, Angel got her double double another horrible shooting night, but I don’t know how anyone can’t acknowledge that she is falling further and further behind.

Super surprised the aces got back in this game and still blew it, they aren’t that great at team as far as I’m concerned

 

[Franisdaman]

Plum looks like absolute garbage

Faster and more physical

Kiah Stokes and Alysha Clark out there with 32 combined minutes and zero pts............. 🫠

Wow

 

[Franisdaman]

ugly, ugly loss for the Aces

Fire everyone!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Does it feel like Carter is playing with a vengeance following that woodshed moment last game? Really looked amped up.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Plum ends the game with a three that hits the side of the backboard.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Carter is the best player on the Sky and she was not chosen to be an All-Star.

 

[cmhawks99]

Does it feel like Carter is playing with a vengeance following that woodshed moment last game? Really looked amped up.

She honestly is one hell of a guard if she was 3 inches taller holy shit as it is she plays way bigger than her 5-9. Honestly she could be a bodybuilder. Her upper body is huge… Now she’s not a particularly great passer and she’s not a great three-point shooter, but she can get to the rack at Will.

ESPN box score has Reese at +26 and Carter at +1.

 

[cmhawks99]

Carter is the best player on the Sky and she's not even on the All-Star team.

By far, without her, they are a five win team

 

[cmhawks99]

ESPN box score has Reese at +26 and Carter at +1.

That’s how stupid that plus minus stat is as far as I’m concerned Carter had 34 points and she’s plus1…WTH

I had to keep looking at to see if it was real. (and I just looked at it again) lol.

 

[citizenHawk]

As bad as I've seen the Aces play. Didn't look like they were even trying to guard Carter, and they all were off shooting the ball. But Plum?? Crazy bad night for her. Never seen her play this poorly. It happens i guess.

And Chicago wins? Gross. That team is easy to dislike.

 

[HawkAlum2002]

Disappointing to see the Sky win, Fever need to take care of business tomorrow to stay ahead of them. On the positive side, despite her double-double and overall great game (plus 26 is pretty incredible plus/minus in a close game like that), Reese is now a rebound behind Aja Wilson on the leaderboard. Wouldn't shock me to see Wilson go on a double-double streak going forward and break Reese's recent record. Alyssa Thomas also only had 5 assists tonight for Connecticut, so Clark has the assist per game lead and hopefully for good if she can just maintain what she's been doing. She's been putting up ten a game against the bottom teams, so here is to a dozen tomorrow.

Couldn't contain her.

At times I think Angel suffers from Charlie Barkley disease -

Jesus, this woman is in your head.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

Y'all looking forward to the game tonight??!

Well I'll fix that! ... Sheryl Swoopes will be announcing! 😡

And then there's that awful "music" blaring the whole game! 🤪

BUT ... a Fever win and some Caitlin magic would be a good anecdote and a nice sendoff into the break 🙂

Shit, this stat needs to go viral!!!

@Moral, make it happen. Get @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset to help you, if needed.

 

[Franisdaman]

Lol at "Swatted Barbie."

She was called the Bayou Barbie, of course. Down there they are swatting mosquitoes.

"Angel" is like an annoying mosquito who needs swatted.

It all makes sense.

Angel's in Jesus' head? Hardly. And why would you say such a crazy ass thing?

ESPN box score has Reese at +26 and Carter at +1.

Another reason so many of those "advanced" metrics are absolute garbage that can't see the forest for the trees.

I watched most of that game and AR was a non-factor throughout. Carter was easily the reason Chicago dominated early and won the game.
