***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***

[BirdistheWord]

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.

Caitlin Clark is far and away the best player the WNBA has ever had..
its a shame the officiating is biased against her

Correct.

Caitlin's teammates need to consistently nail that shot!

And there it is just like clockwork : a new controversy. I'm starting to believe the controversies are more important than the play. Olympic-gate is born

Stay with us OIT, you can do it. You’ve been a great poster in context of Caitlin. It’s not always a tinfoil hat conspiracy - sometimes a group of people are just that stupid. In this case, bad publicity is still bad bad publicity.

Ok. But the aspect of, "we don't want to tick off a million fans with sitting her on the bench at the Olympics."... Okay that one seems kind of crazy. Who are these fans coming at these people with pitchforks and torches? In the crowd at games, I see a bunch of 8 and 10 year old girls wearing Caitlin Clark jerseys and they usually wear the old Iowa Jersey.

It is just mean girl shit combined with hubris combined with stupidity.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

A few of these guys on the national sports radio shows think she might be an alternate. Maybe figure out a way to get her in there with retirements or injuries

 

[BonzoFury]

The saying "better to keep silent and let people think you a fool than open our mouth and confirm it" would seem to apply to the WNBA. Nobody was paying attention a year go. Now that people are, the whole league looks like a shit show full of idiots. They were better off in obscurity.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Kate might get her first start tonight with Young out due to an illness.

Wonder if that’s why Young did so poorly last game.

 

[citizenHawk]

I'm ready for more Martin spin move, step-back jumpers in the lane. That shot is so nice---what helps get you a start for the defending champs. Hope to see it.

I would think newly signed Tiffany Hayes would get the start but certainly would be great to see Kate get the nod.

Ah, yeah. That's far more likely.

Imagine for a moment Kate Martin on the Olympic team and no CC.

"Gee - I just came to Paris to support A'ja and Kelsey and they put me on the team."

You know, she's having that kinda year.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Halftime in NY...

Mystics 45
Liberty 45

WTF?!? Must be a letdown game for the Liberty after yesterday's win @ the Sun.

Update: The Liberty won 93-88. Good effort from the Mystics, but they are 0-12.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Kate gets the start with Young out

 

[pablow]

Kelsey Plum - best point guard in league, probable Olympic team starter - she gets no special attention. No doubles, no nothing. Must be some other reason Clark gets doubled and mugged every possession.

Aces player hits the floor. Teammates see it and walk away. I don't get it.

Aces ice cold from 3.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Minnesota Lynx player Kayla McBride has made 15 of 23 threes in her last two games. She is shooting 51% for the season. Clark is at 32%.

 

[pablow]

Kate with 11 first half points. She's ripping it up.

Kate should be on the Olympic team, too!

Wilson is tough. Hard fall. Stays in the game. Nice.

 

[Franisdaman]

MoreOral Line 1 please, @Moral line 1.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Rough game for Vegas so far but a great game for Kate.

 

[flaiawis]

Kate having a good game and looks like she will have a nice WNBA career ahead of her. She belongs.
Plum is really bad at on ball defending. She can't keep a folding chair in front of her.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Plum's shot has disappeared.

 

[pablow]

Brink is a hack.
