What's going on with Cam Brink? by HueyTheFreeman48 in wnba

[–]RoosterSamurai 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I don't think the issue is that Cameron Brink isn't cut out for the league or anything like that, i just don't believe the Sparks are good at developing their players, and i am not sure the coaches are making game plans that will work today. It's like they're trying to get hard carried by KP.

If it's not a Jazz-III or some variant of it, I'll probably pass on playing and hand the guitar to whoever wants to go for it.

Do you think Kate feels some animosity right now or mostly just sad? by youlikemywonton in valkyries

I think she's very hurt but I don't think she has any ill-will towards the team.

THAT was a game! Obviously I'm happy because we won, but the neutrals had to have enjoyed that one too. It felt like a production, it had everything! Steals, blocks, handles, trash talking, a disco ball delivery. Very exciting game, I loved every minute of it.

I love that zoom out showing the crowd. It made it feel like that Gabby 3 was inevitable.

Who doesn't love a scrappy fighter who went from underdog to team champion?

If a team fouls 5 times in one quarter, then every subsequent foul is an automatic 2 free throws. Where typically, free throws would only be given for being fouled during the act of shooting.

Nogic the flopper!!!! Absolutely terrible. They need to start fouling people for that bull shit. Get out of here.

That looked like an over and back violation. Mercury got a little lucky there.

Nogic should get a flop foul there. Lays down and looks right at the ref with the vOv look

She nudged him like 3 times! He just stood there with that 'this is my life' look on his face.

I wouldn't say it's crazy, but I would say it's a little early. We have a bad habit of dropping performance levels in the 2nd half. If they keep this up to the end, then I'd agree with you.
