If the Aces left Megan and Kate in the game to the end. They may have pulled off a win. Pulled them towards the end and lose by 13.
Kate played a lot, but Megan should have stayed on the floor longer. She was doing it all: a steal, a tipped shot, multiple tough rebounds (she was noticeably more aggressive), passing crisply, and hit her one shot for three to pull within one on their mini run to get back in it. My ONE issue with Becky is feeling like she has in her mind her set rotation and minutes everyone will play, and won’t adjust as much in game. Stokes and Young just did not have it last night, and Meg was a bigger problem for Seattle.

That's called bad coaching

It's so sad to see CC22 playing on this crap team. I am amazed and wondering how Boston was ROY last year. She is terrible. CC22 should have had 15 assists tonight.
I'm surprised and disappointed in Boston. It says something about previous talent that she won ROY last year. She is so slooooow. Combined with no hops and she is just not very good.

the WNBA is a disaster... they should bring in some professional people to help recreate an image people can embrace

On the little I've watched.... (Besides the bad officiating)... The talent just isn't very deep. Watched a good chunk of the Seattle vs. Vegas game. That was pretty damn good basketball. Some great athletes on those teams.

Depth and talent disparity between teams is a problem. Indiana & Washington look like a middle school game compared to that Seattle vs Vegas game.

I think you have to take into account the physicality that is allowed... if they call a foul a foul, and allow for more freedom.. we would get to see more of just how talented these women truly are... as of now, its a game for hoes.. and not the ladies.

ain't no way in hell all these ladies aren't super talented... they just aren't able to showcase it because of the extremely brutal way the game is officiated.

there's all kinds of pushing and holding that just goes unnoticed.. It's ridiculous.
 
I remember watching an interview with Jud Heathcote once where he was talking about Magic. He was saying Magic was probably the toughest player he ever had to coach because he would watch him make all of these amazing passes that his teammates just couldn’t handle and would end up as turnovers. And he said it took him the longest time to get Magic to understand and accept that as the passer, it didn’t matter how amazing the pass was, it was on Magic to make sure it ended up in the receiver’s hands.

That being said, I think even old Jud would watch CC’s teammates and just mutter to himself “JFC…”
I dated a girl back in the early 90s who lived in Michigan. It was hilarious to me that Jud’s phone number was listed in the phone book. 🤣

Aside from the Boston comment I thought the announcers were pretty good actually. Good in the sense that they weren't screechy, obtrusive, or annoying. Very low-key, just kinda like white noise.

Yeah, there is a way. They're not all "super talented". The officiating is pretty bad, but it's not like they're turning Michael Jordan into John Lickliter.

Sometimes she looks terrible and then comes back and makes some good plays so hopefully she will get better with experience. I haven't looked at her 2023 stats, but I believe she was rookie of the year. In my opinion she would not have been player of the year in college if she would have played somewhere other than half a dozen places like USC. If I recall correctly she pulled a Ricky Davis to keep her double double streak alive.

Kate's one made FG last night:

 
Why do the refs let players get away with this? The Fever just made a basket. The Mystics player is throwing the ball back inbounds while she's still standing inbounds, in an attempt to push the ball back up the court as quickly as possible.

WNBA officiating is trash example 69.
I don't only see this in the WNBA. This happens in college men's and women's bball as well. I don't watch enough NBA to know if it happens there. The player is inbounding as they are jumping out of bounds, but they never actually establish themselves out of bounds first. This is a pretty egregious example.
 
Thurs night, June 6, Washington distributed EXACTLY 10,000 tickets for their game vs Chicago/Angel Reese. Last night, June 7, Washington distributed more than double that number (20,333) and could have sold more.

Nevertheless, Angel, the idiot that she is, thinks she's at the same level as Caitlin.
