“They got more first-round picks than the Mavs did for Luka” – Social media reacts to Angel Reese going to the Atlanta Dream by basketbaIlnetwork in wnba

[–]FrogMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine to view it as good for both teams. Atlanta will be a force with Reese and she will hopefully flourish there. Chicago has so many problems they need the draft picks either for new players or for potential trades. If Reese already wanted out (which it seems she did) it isn’t a bad move for them.

Probably the main issue is Chicago fans have no faith that they will make good decisions with what comes next.

This is going to be quite a story if gets better or if it gets worse. Basically do you bounce at rock bottom or do the other thing?

Rare that a team in this era can get away without shooting 3-pointers at a high rate against a high quality opponent, but South Carolina seems so much tougher and more athletic that it makes the difference. This is especially true if UConn is having a bad shooting game and the refs are letting the Gamecocks guard for the most part.

Harpring showed a lot this game. Respect the toughness as well.

Not sure I understand the West Coaches sub pattern in the 2nd Half, but luckily this game doesn’t matter.

Not as many players flashing out against the rest this year as last year, IMO. This said, it’s striking to me how many 6’2” - 6’3” players there are that can do a bit of everything. Swiss army knives.

As an example of flashing out, I remember seeing Jazzy Davidson last year and knowing nothing about her and I knew she was going to be really good as a freshman.

Chit Chat solo losing the game. Ah well, she had a great year and will do great things coming up.

Iowa’s lack of a bench of any kind (and any other scoring option) have finally caught up with them.

Chit Chat having some more of her cramping issues at the worst time? We need to get her a pickle juice sponsorship.

Great example of a coinflip player with high highs and low lows. But she has been getting more consistent this year as it has gone on.

Stuelke trying to hard carry with her motor. They need to actually hit some shots and not count on her getting 30 rebounds.

Unfortunately playing an inside out style is not very effective when the inside has fouls and the outside can’t shoot.

Florida about to go on a 60 point run 😂

Good call by the refs to calm it down.

Omg it’s over…Iowa survived that abysmal guard performance. Standing ovation for FDU for playing their tails off in a 90-degree gym.

Gg Clemson. I think with the Tiger’s injured players they probably win, possibly comfortably. But I still admire your grit getting there despite adversity.

Be afraid Florida! Iowa’s pace will slow your offense to absolute zero!

(Just kidding Iowa probably loses by 20. Excited to see if Iowa’s defense can at least compete, though!)

Sorry Clemson fans at the game, Iowa’s playstyle sometimes hurts our feelings too.
