Paige's Wings Page (merged thread)

Clark also elevated her teammates to having career years playing with her and leading IN to the playoffs for the first time in 8 years while making first team All WNBA

I think everyone knows who Clark is on this forum but this is Paige's Wings page. If you are so apparently consumed with CC then perhaps you should go to her page wherever that may be to converse with other Clarkies. And now let's talk Paige, shall we?

For those 3 it is about winning championships not the arena. All 3 are in their 30's and time to win championships is running out. The team in New York right now isn't very good and will be lucky to get out of the 1st round this year. Cloud isn't the answer as a point guard. And Emma, Stewie, and JJ need to be utilized better in an offense and Paige already is better utilizing her teammates then anyone on the Liberty.
Plus those 3 are still pretty good on defense as a group.

Not get out of the first round? You got some spare cash you don't mind losing? If I had my pick of players Stewie would still be my first choice. When she is back, and playing with Meeseman, look out. There is no better foursome in the WNBA than Stewie, Emma, JJ and Sabrina. Lloyd, Young, Gray and Wilson are close. Admittedly, NY must play better defense.

Careful Curt. Don't give Jerry Jones any ideas! 😉

Paige was showing out for the Hollywood crowd in LA tonight with one of those amazing games where she was making everything from everywhere, including one tough fall away, where she was fouled and issued her now familiar, “and f— one!”

Paige hit a new career high, scoring 44 pts on 17/21 shooting, along with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. She played one of her very best games ever, at any level, but it still wasn’t enough to carry the Wings to victory as they lost a heartbreaker to LA 81-80 on a last second shot by Plum.

The Wings are really not a very good team right now and they are also beat up with several players out with injuries. But so long as Paige is on the court, they are fun to watch and they hang around in games, even though they are usually overmatched.

Paige had 44 of Dallas’s 80 points, tying the WNBA rookie scoring record set by Cynthia Cooper 28 years ago, during the inaugural season in the W when Cooper was 34 years old. The true, just out of college record, for a rookie was set by Candace Parker who scored 40 pts during her rookie season.

Paige got some help from Siegrist and Geiselsoder. But aside from those 3 players, there was some truly ugly, head scratching basketball played by the rest of the Wings team.

Paige will win ROY in the W this season and then Curt Miller can overhaul his roster with a lottery pick in the draft and some veteran free agents to surround his franchise player with.

Man, I hope they make some big changes in Dallas. I just feel like they got everything wrong in the offseason. The coach, MHA, Carrington, Smith, the expansion draft. Paige is pretty much the only thing they did right. And I am dreading her being stuck there for three more seasons.

As great as Paige has been this season, this was the game she finally went into all-out "you can't stop me" mode. Just remarkable efficient scoring and shooting. As usual, though, her assist numbers were severely limited due to the fact that no one else on the Wings can consistently take advantage of receiving a well-timed and well-placed pass (including in the last minute of the game).
On the other hand, I am still stunned by the ineptness of refs in the W, ie the uncalled foul on a blitz in the first half which sent Paige violently to the floor resulting in a turnover (& finally drove Koclanes over the edge to get a technical for protesting the non-call) quickly followed by a foul called on Paige for allowing herself to get cleared out by a the off arm of Van Loo(?) (which was compounded by upgrading it to a clear path foul - actually, technically correct IF YOU IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE FOUL CALL WAS WRONG...- sorry for shouting).
End of rant.
Paige is extraordinary. Go in peace.
