I think auto-correct may have affected your first sentence.
No, not typical AT. AT plays with force on both O and D. She drives the ball relentlessly and initiates contact on O, bodies up on D with active hands and boxes out with great energy. For better or worse, that's the way the game is played at the highest level.
I get the fan grief though. Load management has gotten out of control on the men’s side and fans are spending hundreds if not thousands to see Clark in person. If they’re going to rest her, either reduce minutes or do it at home where fans have plenty of other opportunities to watch her play.
Aww bummer. Pretty cool though how last night we had the top 4 scorers in NCAA history all on the same court (Clark, Plum, Fair and Mitchell)
I didn't even think of that. Wow.
I wonder why now? They don't have anybody out on injury they had to clear a spot for do they?
I disagree. Her over the top physical style is often pushing the boundary. This is not out of character for her to my eye.

Wow, that was bad. That definitely looked like she intended to injure Parker. My dislike for AT is based on years of watching her; she's earned it.
Mercury has a makeshift lineup as well. The mystics have the most makeshift lineup at this point in the season.
Other than Griner who are the Merc missing? Dallas is down a bunch of starters.
She finished w/ 31, Lynx win 92-79.
Based on how this game went, you'd think it was the Dream who played 3 games in 4 days. Their second half was a hot mess. The one positive was seeing Hillmon be more aggressive when shooting. Heck she even had a 3!
So do I. I'm a fan of reducing her minutes personally. Coming from major minutes in NCAA and virtually no off-season to recuperate, I'm surprised she's going for 30+ MPG.
LOL. Good eye. Not sure what I was thinking. Lynx/Liberty...LOLI think auto-correct may have affected your first sentence.
McBride was in the zone today. 83% shooting! Hopefully this hot shooting continues for her. She is shooting 54% on this young season. Well done, Kayla!!
Same. Especially in blow out losses, no reason to play her more than 25 minutes with this front loaded schedule.
In Europe this year, K-Mac shot 46% from the overall field, 46% from three and 85% from the FT line while making All-Euro during her championship season at Fenerbahce this international season. She's on a roll. Coach Reeve probably should keep an eye on those minutes so K-Mac and Phee have some legs later on in the season. (K-Mac will have the Olympic break but one should watch 'Phee. Good to have Dorka back.)
Well said, JellyBean. Maddie has emerged as one of the Wings' best players, not surprisingly to those of us who got to see her play often the past few years.
