Why are you so butthurt?

Take this shit to the Off Topic.

Why are you so butthurt?

 

[UpstreamHawkeye]

Sorry Switzerland.......

Just saying, Sweden was neutral during Jordan's time.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

All this yuckity-yuck about Serena and no one has stepped up with the noble gesture yet. Well, allow me then ...

It wasn't just that she was pregnant. Serena Williams suffered a pulmonary embolism after delivering her 1st child and was bedridden for 6 weeks and delaying her return to training.

Serena Williams:

"The way I see it, I should have had 30-plus grand slams.

"I had my chances after coming back from giving birth. I went from a C-section to a second pulmonary embolism to a grand slam final. I played while breastfeeding. I played through postpartum depression.

"But I didn’t get there. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. I didn’t show up the way I should have or could have. But I showed up 23 times, and that’s fine. Actually it’s extraordinary.

"But these days, if I have to choose between building my tennis résumé and building my family, I choose the latter."

Nobody beats the Fever 15 times in a row! Indiana 89 - Las Vegas 76

Or sweeps the season series!

But for god sakes quit leaving Wilson wide open at the elbows and FT line.

Remember, drop coverage is not defense! (I'm just gonna go ahead and latch on to that one)

An athlete that is supremely confident in their ability? Almost as common that a high school kid’s recruiting video is amazing.

Serena Williams won 4 of 8 Grand Slams between 2015 and 2016, made 2 more finals, and made the semifinals in the other 2. She won Wimbledon in 2015 and 2016 and made the semifinals of the US Open both years. She was definitely the favorite at each of the 3 remaining slams in 2017

So 2 in 15 2 in 16? Or was it 1 in 15 and 3 in 16?
I don’t doubt she was the favorite. Are you able to compare the odds from the 2017 majors vs 2015? 2016?

Why is there a tennis thread on the basketball board? Mods, please move this thread to the Tennis board.

 

[Franisdaman]

Patiently waiting for the Lexi Hull fit check tonight

 

[HawkMachine]

So we gonna play some defense tonight or what?

 

[JimStarr777]

So we gonna play some defense tonight or what?

NO!

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

So we gonna play some defense tonight or what?

Highly unlikely given this team's history but 🤞

 

[Hawksbyamillion]

Meg would bring some toughness and is used to the pace. Her length could be bothersome and she plays hard.

I’ve always hoped Megan and Caitlin would team up one day. It’s crazy to think how 2 national players of the year at Iowa were only a few years apart from playing with each other. That would have been something to see…

 

[citizenHawk]

Better question: is CC going to bounce back from her shooting troubles in the last game?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Go Fever!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice assist for CC

 

[NevadaHawk]

Fever not shooting well in the early going

 

[Hawksfor3]

Smith starting again.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice pass CC

 

[NevadaHawk]

Have to make F/Ts!!!!!

 

[hawkeye_wx]

F these refs who are calling CC for bullshit technicals.

 

[JimStarr777]

Why does she have to make herself look like a crybaby!?

 

[Chuck C]

Weak technical there

 

[JimStarr777]

F these refs who are calling CC for bullshit technicals.

It was legit. That was a massive hissy fit because she was still mad about the FTs.

 

[JimStarr777]

Maybe take Clark out because her body language is absolute garbage

 

[Match34]

A reminder that WNBA refs are a step above rec league. If this league is going to grow every ref will soon be replaced, and they deserve no respect until then.

 

[citizenHawk]

Gotta sit Clark before she gets another T. She has to settle down.

 

[HawkMachine]

yeah, calling Caitlin a "whiny bitch" seems a bit extreme to me. LOL

Love the girl, but I stand by my statement.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Didn't work but still a nice pass by CC

 

[JimStarr777]

Love the girl, but I stand by my statement.

She’s flat out embarrassing to watch sometimes

 

[spiderland]

Caitlin is not well. Refs are still total trash.

 

[HawkMachine]

Maybe take Clark out because her body language is absolute garbage

Her body language is no different than any other game lately.

It’s terrible.

 

[NevadaHawk]

I hope Kate gets to play

 

[Hawksfor3]

Have to make F/Ts!!!!!

Rare to see her miss 2 in a row.

 

[Chuck C]

I hope Kate gets to play

Maybe once the Aces go up by 20.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Refs finally got one right lol.

 

[NevadaHawk]

BS call on Lexie
