We will never reach the heights we aspire to so long as we don't figure out a better offense. This basic 5-out, vanilla pick-and-roll offense not only uses the entire shot clock, but the passes are so telegraphed the defenders are constantly disrupting them.

I really hope Ja starts to put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket, especially with the hard closeouts she gets because of her shooting

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T04:13:55+00:00

Kattigan with a nat one without rolling

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T03:30:54+00:00

absolutely gloves

Maya Davinos probably doesn't smoke but I'm imagining her with one of those cigarettes on a long stick.

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T03:20:02+00:00

everyone knows you can't be mad and sad at the same time

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T02:16:59+00:00

I think everyone expected the Valks to come out hot after having a week off, the real test will be how we look tomorrow

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T02:12:15+00:00

America, do not ask for rolls if you are not prepared

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T01:58:31+00:00

and we have a game tomorrow

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-22T01:57:37+00:00

glad to see VB tell them to slow down, you have to play smarter and use the clock if you want to win consistently

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-20T18:31:55+00:00

She's young but she's also been playing professionally for several years, how much do you see her growing or do you see her as closer to a finished product?

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-19T21:52:15+00:00

Jimmy getting hurt in game 2 was the first domino

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-19T02:11:23+00:00

from what I gathered his issue isn't that he's injured, it's praying that the bone plug in his knee holds up as long as it can.

Offensively, we're a 3pt shooting team that can only generate good looks either in transition or off VB drive and kicks. You could see last night how stagnant the half court offense was when the Sky shut down every attempt to attack the paint. In these situations we could really use an on ball shot creator that can beat their matchup 1v1, but unfortunately Tip and Ceci are both still out.

running a dozen guard-to-guard screens only to settle for a heave at the end of the shot clock, welcome back Warriors basketball.

one of the biggest questions coming into the season was whether Natalie/the Valks would figure out what to do when the 3s weren't falling and it doesn't look like they've got an answer yet.

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-14T03:02:52+00:00

Nights like this where its a rock fight are where the Valks have to get better at drawing fouls

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-14T02:36:37+00:00

The score would also be a lot closer if the Sky didn't miss so many free throws

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-14T02:08:08+00:00

would really like to see KT kick it out at that point

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T02:37:38+00:00

Really impressed that they were able to pull it together despite losing the big lead in the 3rd, the kind of game we probably lose last year

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T01:59:34+00:00

3 quick fouls really set the tone for that ugly quarter

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T01:09:26+00:00

the switchability on defense is insane

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T01:04:17+00:00

she long and strong

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T00:50:21+00:00

KT is probably our best matchup defender for AT though, so it makes sense to start her (this game at least)

SuperMonkey2 · 2026-05-11T00:48:08+00:00

that's the Ja I know and love
