Some musings from yesterday. I like Clark a lot but I think she flopped a bit on the contact from Mabrey which kinda escalated things. I know you can say Mabrey escalated things and you wouldn't be wrong but idk. I think about this a lot, when superstars flop during confrontations it's actually a bad thing for their team because their teammates now have the pressure of sticking up for their stars and things get more out of hand. I know it's not scripted but things getting out of control is so predictable when this occurs its like a script they follow. Lol. It was almost compulsory that Sophie does something like the thing she did at the end. I didn't like Caitlin in the press conference after the game, getting frustrated and saying let's just talk about basketball. I get it and trust me I prefer talking hoops over drama. I also get the idea of what happens on the court stays on the court. Like it's not that deep. I'm sure she doesn't hate Sheldon or Marina. But she was doing all the wwe stuff, hyping up the crowd, talking crazy. I don't mind that part and love her intensity, but then u can't be frustrated ppl will ask about that.
Idk if it's roster expansion that's needed, or it's because these players that are signing the hard ship contracts I'm so emotionally invested in. But it's crazy to turn on a game and see Grace Berger getting some quality minutes, then Mackenzie Holmes subbing in on the opposite squad. I saw Haley Jones on the bench in Dallas. I'm like I thought all 3 were cut, and was bummed. It was good to see them but I also know they can be let go rather quickly. I also think Grace is better than how she played last night. Part of my point is I do think it's hard to throw players in these situations. The even crazier thing is the hardship player will play more at times than players that made the roster, perhaps cuz they play a different position.
I thought Paige looked good last night. She would've had like 25 if the rims were slightly friendlier and she didn't smoke a layup late. But in terms of creating her shot, she looks really good. Like she was so efficient in college and used dhos so well, but I think she's just creating space at a different level which is cool to see. I think their offense is still not great. And I actually think they need a point guard. I feel like Arike and Paige playing ur turn my turn, ur side initiates the offense when I randomly don't feel like it, limits offensive cohesion. I know the w doesn't work this way but put Haley at point guard or at least bring the ball up and also defend wings. They could really have used Carla Leite if we're being honest.
