2024 WNBA Season: Part 2 (August ---)

[hoopsnloops32]

Typo I meant WITHOUT Chennedy Carter. Chicsgo can’t compete without her.

 

[Geew1992]

Angel v. Caitlin at 7:30 ET tonight. Should be fun!

When do the sky start running offense

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maybe Vegas losing to Dallas wasn't so bad after all? Wings blowing the doors off the Lynx, the formerly hottest team in the league.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Indiana running away from Chicago. If Allen, Onyenwere and Banham are the only players scoring...you're probably in trouble.

 

[Baller29]

When do the sky start running offense

They they get a real PG and a coach who can run a offensive play instead of dribbling for 20 seconds on perimeter before attempting to make a pass or initiate offense

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dallas beat Minny 94-76. It was 55-36 in the second half. Getting Satou back seems to be making a big difference for the Wings.

 

[nwhoopfan]

100-81 final, Fever were up as much as 25. 31 pts (on only 14 FGA) and 12 assists for Clark. 23 for Mitchell, who by the way is leading the entire league in scoring for the month of August. Hull continues her recent hot shooting, 3-4 behind the arc and 11 points.

Onyenwere has been playing well lately, she paced Chicago w/ 20. 19 for Allen.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Fever have caught the Merc in the standings.

I was thinking Chicago needed to worry about holding off Atlanta for the 8th seed. Now Dallas and Washington are both charging, 3 game winning streak for each. Sky have lost 5 in a row. 4 way battle for the last playoff spot, this could be fun.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No Young for the Aces tonight? They can hardly afford that.

 

[JellyBean]

A friend of mine had a cross-stiched picture in her bathroom that read: Be an adult, not a kid, hit the toilet, not the lid.

That is a good one!

Lindsey Allen balled out tonight. She’s been great as of late.

 

[Aluminny69]

Seems like Caitlyn Clark sets a new record every game she plays.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces get a much needed win over the Dream. Hayes started and delivered--20 and 10 while shooting 8-12. Wilson was her normal self, 26 pts/16 reb/5 assists/5 blocks. Poor shooting but Plum did end up with 18.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lib beat the Storm on the road. Stewie w/ 32, Ionescu w/ 25. Outdueled Diggins-Smith and Loyd who had 26 and 20.

 

[Scud49]

Seems like Caitlyn Clark sets a new record every game she plays.

She's box office, a home run hitter with that range, a helluva passer and a very good person, wonderful with the media and the fans, and a great teammate. Don't know what else you could ask of someone...!!

 

[JellyBean]

They have a good coach and a decent point guard. The dribbling part I agree with you on.

 

[bballnut90]

Clark looked superhuman playing against grown women tonight, dropping 31 points and 12 assists with just 3 TOs. Guess it doesn't make a difference if she's going up against 18 year olds or grown women.

 

[nwhoopfan]

You can take it with a grain of salt due to not a whole lot of attempts...but with her recent hot shooting Lexie Hull's 3 point FG% has jumped all the way up to 44% for the season. That's pretty darn good.

A winning record.

 

[GamecockFam]

With the Dream losing last night, the Aces and Storm are guaranteed to be in the playoffs.

I don't know the W tie breaker rules, but the Fever and Mercury are tied at 16-16. Since the Fever won the head-to-head series I assume that means they have jumped the Mercury and are now #6 in the playoff standings.

 

[GamecockFam]

I am kind of hoping for a 3/6 matchup of the Sun/Fever in the playoffs. I think that could be a fun series and one that the Fever could win.

Sheesh.....the clip notes a transition and it will take some time. It has been a transition and it has taken some time for her to adjust. Not to mention the Olympic break was very beneficial. What Taurasi said wasn't inaccurate or a jab.

 

[cancontent]

Great milestone for Carleton. Love the to see her having a such a great season.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Dallas beat Minny 94-76. It was 55-36 in the second half. Getting Satou back seems to be making a big difference for the Wings.

I think Smith got hurt and didn’t play the second half.

 

[WBBTakeover]

No mention of Minnesota getting embarrassed (again) by the Wings? Same team that the Aces lost to (by 3, mind you) and had everyone claiming that the season was over for LV.

And A'ja had 42 against them while Phee had how many?

 

[Scud49]

A winning record.

Well after a very shakey start to the season, they are now 16-16 on the year, so she and her teammates are on the verge of making that happen too.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Play of the night was Sabrina literally on the floor getting her own rebound and making a bucket.

That sounds like a Sportscenter top 10! I need to find a video.

Edit: I found it. Around the 8:15 mark.

This is the 2nd blowout loss to the Wings Minnesota has suffered this season. Minnesota is still the hottest team in the league, with 8 games left.
