WNBA 2024 May 2024

So I see CC had a double-double tonight: 20 pts and 10 turnovers….

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Clark's gonna score. She's averaging 11 three attempts per game including preseason. That and her ability to get to the line will end up in points regardless of any efficiency issues. And really, scoring is what matters to the media.

The Connecticut front-court outplayed the youngsters for Indiana. Boston couldn't get deep position. Thomas and Jones are really good--and strong.

Indiana had far too many turnovers. Caitlin was part of it, but not all of it by any means. She saw that W defenses and players are better than most of what she saw in college. I'm reminded that it took Kelsey Plum a few years to adjust. Caitlin needs to be patient and persistent.

The backcourt of Ty Harris and Dijonnai Carrington looked surprisingly good. Let's see how they do over time. Moriah played just a few minutes, but did hit a three.

Lib win 85-80. 25 for JJ, 20 for Laney, 15 pts/8 assists for Ionescu. Atkins led the Mystics w/ 20.

Noteworthy that Stewie's strange slump continued with a 3 of 9 for 8 points performance. She lost her offensive game during the playoffs last season and hasn't found it since...

... and on the scoreboard.

I stand by what I said. She's going to have to keep her TOs in check and make smart decisions with the ball for Vegas to do well while Chelsea recovers. What she has done recently (i.e. in her last five actual games) is not promising, but we'll see what happens starting tonight.

3 assists 0 TOs the first 5 minutes. She's terrible!

 

[The deacon]

If her coach lets her play enough minutes, A'ja's likely to score 50 tonight.

 

[nickp91]

Caitlin Clark gonna be alright she still ended the night with 20 points

 

[nwhoopfan]

Yeah...Wilson vs. Mack or Dixon is no contest.

 

[MilfordHusky]

17 points in 9 minutes to start. Her midrange game is so good now.

 

[triaddukefan]

 

[MilfordHusky]

Meanwhile, Diana has hit 4 bombs.

 

[WBBTakeover]

The offense looks like crap now. When was the last time A'ja had a touch?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

... and on the scoreboard.

Teamwise yes, individually it's more complex.

My previous point in print form.....

 

[nwhoopfan]

Did Copper just do a "sweep the leg?" I think she did.

 

[oldude]

So I’m watching the Storm/Lynx game and the announcer just indicated that Nika can’t play tonight because of “visa issues?” I knew there was an issue in the preseason game in Canada, but Nika played in the 2nd preseason game in the US. Whatever the issue is, it’s hard for me to believe that the Storm haven’t taken care of the situation.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces really worked hard to blow a 15 point lead in Q2.

 

[WBBTakeover]

This Mercury-Aces game should've been a blowout, but very poor decision making and terrible 3-point defense has made this a game. Freezing out A'ja Wilson was a...choice.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mercury finally cooled off from 3. They couldn't miss starting w/ Q2.

Wow, Wilson started 7-10, she's 2-11 since.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jewell Loyd gotta hit the reset button after last year. She doesn't need to score 25 ppg this season. She's 3-17 tonight.

 

[WBBTakeover]

The switch from KP to Jackie Young being on the ball made the difference in the 4th quarter. Thank you, Becky, for making the much-needed adjustment.

 

[WBBTakeover]

The Lynx with the shocker of the night--a double-digit win on the road over the SuperStorm.

Loyd shot them out of the game. 3-19.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Vegas trying to give it away again. Up 10 w/ about 3 minutes left, down to 3. 3 straight 3's by Phoenix, 15-34 for the game.
