You misunderstand me if you think I'm promoting that nonsense and I didn't bring any of the three posters over here so as to not encourage the BS. Yes, 3. I bet there will be more tomorrow. Fringe WNBA content producers are pushing the narrative. I think it is all nonsense. I suspect you'll stumble into it. The WNBA seems to attract more than its fair share of this kind of stuff.
You brought it up

I prefer “Coach P”
Oh I agree completely. But the chaos of the W last year and this has made a very fertile field in which to plant the nonsense.
Yup. I have a lot of these booked marked for the lazy troll takes. They come in really handy! 😁
Because for some people, saying Paige is fantastic somehow means (to them) that she’s better than Caitlin, like it’s an either/or situation. For some, recognizing Paige’s terrific play is actually insulting to Caitlin. This whole Page vs Caitlin thing is probably distressing to these two good friends
Sonia is having a ROY season. Unfortunately for her her it's happening in the same year that Paige is having an all-time rookie season.
I've made it a point never to click on any of his vids no matter how intriguing the headline because I just want him to go away. In addition to not feeding the trolls we have to not feed the algorithm.
One of the reasons I appreciate the women's basketball forums on the Boneyard so much is that, for the most part, posters are here for a genuine discussion about basketball. We all have our favorites and our own biases, but I've also been—and seen others be—influenced by other people's arguments and data. If we celebrate the glory of one player, we—usually!—manage to do it without denigrating another player. It's a haven for people who love women's basketball.
Yes it can, however for some reason, this viewpoint gets drowned out in all the noise. This isn't uncommon in other sports.
Most of the Citron fans are actually Clark fans in a wig and sunglasses.
Follow the money. That guy is saying that because it pays the bills. To be fair, I'm sure we'll see more and more Paige 'influencers' doing the same.
Are you talking about "Mick"? Wednesday night he admitted that Paiges performance was really unbelievable but also admitted that he is a Paige Bueckers hater. I knew it, because every time the league gives flowers to Paige, he, as well as all Fever fans, complain that CC is the face of the WNBA and that's that. They are so up her butt that they think any good things Paige does is a kick in the face of CC. These people are nuts, and I am now avoiding them. Geez.
Here’s hoping Dallas can get Betts to pair with Paige! That would give them a guard/post duo to compare with any team in the league! Then trade Arike for another first ( not sure what they can get) and get a good rebounder/scorer (Serah Williams) to partner with Betts & the future will be so bright “they gotta wear shades!” Then sign a couple of defensive “dawgs” and one more sharpshooter to help Paige and Maggie and watch the wins roll in!
A couple things. Betts will take time to develop a pro game. I would like to see the Wings sign one of the many veteran centers who will be free agents next season (Tina Charles?) and then use their lottery pick for a player who can have an immediate impact: Azzi, Olivia Miles?
Yes, but I wasn't going to promote his channel by mentioning his name. I've pretty much stopped watching him because of his anti-Paige stance, and he spent quite a lot of time begging people to subscribe, which supports the view that he's in it for the money.
Totally agree.
I agree about Betts. I see her entering the league more like a Kamilla Cardoso—lots of upside, but still needing time to develop. I think the Wings need a post presence who can contribute immediately.
Anybody else remember this from 2023? I'm pretty sure it's been posted before. Watch the second video where they go one-on-one and we learn that Aaliyah's team nickname was apparently Lili:Funny you should mention Tina Charles. Watching Tina mentor Aaliyah in the couple of weeks Aaliyah has been on the Sun, I've been thinking how fine they would both look in Wings uniforms next year.
Thanks for sharing this. It is analytically sound and artfully crafted. "Her cool sense of pace means that she sometimes looks superimposed onto a court, like the other players filmed themselves as background and someone added her in a post.". "If there's any real variety or mystery in Wings games these days, it mostly has to do with the flavor of the heartbreak".Now Imagine What Paige Bueckers Could Do With Better Teammates | Defector
What can’t Paige Bueckers do? What problems can’t she solve? Where does her bag end? Does it? For 39 minutes and 59 seconds of Wednesday night’s Wings-Sparks game, answers were hard to come by. The learning curve has looked awfully flat for the first overall pick in her rookie season. Varied...
I stopped counting at 3 YouTube "pundits". Have you ever heard the term Click Bait. W followers are click bait generators looking to pick up a few more followers and hit 300. I was giving an example of the crazy out there. I thought that was clear. BTW I suspect the last 2 games killed that mad theory.
That is the same thing Sophie Cunningham's sister said about Bria Hartley. I lack her, and your, capacity to divine the intentions or motivations of players who are involved in bang bang plays.
