I had to go to the ER to stop the bleeding after playing a pickup game at the fieldhouse where a dude sliced my eyelid open from horribly swiping at the ball and instead getting my face when I was playing point guard. That is a dude with normal dude fingernails that probably just needed a trim, and a fight damn near started because of it. It doesn't sound like Carrington had obnoxiously long fingernails, but those things sure as heck look dangerous to me. And I still say, how does one go from an open hand like that to the bent finger eye stabbing position without doing it intentionally? Moe Howard would be proud.I took a way way worse hit to my eye when I played (guys finger went all the way to the back of the eye socket) and I suffered no long term damage. I don’t think it was nearly as bad as people are making it out to be, but I do think the long fingernails need to go.
Aside from missing layups, the second most common WNBA faux pas is mistaking someone's head for a basketball.I had to go to the ER to stop the bleeding after playing a pickup game at the fieldhouse where a dude sliced my eyelid open from horribly swiping at the ball and instead getting my face when I was playing point guard.

Caitlin is going to have to learn to play one handed so that her other hand is free to do this.
Agree. Might not appear to be bad to some, but I'm dealing with age related eye problems right now myself. It was discovered that I have a partially detached retina. I had no idea. The nails can be viewed as weapons. Could have been a lot worse. Don't know if a full eye exam was done following that poke, but we'll see...Don't agree that it wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it.. at all. It's almost like you are condoning it. I agree the nails need to go
Well, I placed a bet.
I took the Suns at -6.
Either way it will be bittersweet.
Edit to note I didn’t notice the gif was edited to read woman. No offense meant.
If it is called the way it was in Game 1, you'll be making some money.Well, I placed a bet.

I watched Rambis clothesline a dude near full speed.Just a few millimeters off target. Could have lost sight in that eye. End of career. All done on purposed and later giggled about with a teammate.
If Carrington had succeeded, Caitlin probably is blind in one eye. But not a peep from anyone.
In terms of intent and potential to maim and end a career, it's the worst on-court assault I've ever seen.
What's your opinion?
Are you confusing that with when McHale did that to Rambis?I watched Rambis clothesline a dude near full speed.
Lol yes. Thank youAre you confusing that with when McHale did that to Rambis?
That's encouraging. Thanks to you too!I demand that the Fever win this game so that they will then be just 7 wins away from a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
thank you.
Rambis looked like he hurt himself more trying to get up and fight lol.Lol yes. Thank you
Condoning what? If she did it accidentally (which I think she did) then there’s nothing to condone. If she did it intentionally, then I certainly wouldn’t condone it. If Kate Martin had scraped Caitlin’s eye trying to block a pass, would a.) people think it was on purpose, and b.) think she should be suspended?Don't agree that it wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it.. at all.

Wrestlers get their nails checked, no way you should be allowed to play bb with talons.

Have you been to an eye doctor lately? I really hope you don't drive. Before the other view was showed it appeared to be an accident...it wasn't an accidentCondoning what?

I shouldn’t have made the bet.If it is called the way it was in Game 1, you'll be making some money.
Yet nothing I posted was inaccurate, so there’s that.Better to remain silent and be thought a fool....
Come on Fever. Fight!
