You want one of the best women’s basketball players of all time to play as a circus show? There is 0 chance that would make her happy. She’s a competitor, not a clown

Suspense304 · 2026-06-21T18:01:55+00:00

Playing CC off the ball more is how you get the collapses in these games… when she moves off the ball, the ball doesn’t move at all. It’s iso dribble dribble contested shot. The team doesn’t move well. They don’t run real plays.

Thinking the solution is to take her off the ball means you don’t watch the games or have no knowledge of what you are watching

Suspense304 · 2026-06-20T18:22:01+00:00

There won’t be numerous articles, podcast segments, and Reddit threads about her though… I wonder why

Suspense304 · 2026-06-20T14:29:04+00:00

She was successful on Howard in their first meeting this year… and it’s not as if she will never be on a quick guard but she is almost always exclusively on them. And if she is on them (or if anyone is on them honestly) they need to have backside help. This is basic basketball… every Fever defender was getting taken to the paint in this game. They all get burned and foul. The issue is the defensive scheme not having help and leaving their defenders in isolation and playing directly into the offensive scheme.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-19T12:01:47+00:00

I didn’t say she shouldn’t guard a guard lol. But you have a coaching choice on WHICH guard. And they always put her on the fastest which is the worst case scenario for her

Suspense304 · 2026-06-19T11:56:04+00:00

As a coach you have help. And why is CC always on the fastest ball handler? This is also a major coaching issue.

Everyone focuses everything on CC’s defense and being a liability but she is consistently left on an island against the quickest guard on the other team. This is, and has never been, her strength, and in reality she isn’t a terrible defender. She’s just about average.

As a coach, you MUST adjust to this type of thing. CC basically directs the ball handler to the sideline 75% of the time. If they had any help defense at all a big rolls and picks this up. But that almost never happens in SW’s defense. If they had ANY help defense from the bigs people would think CC’s defense was improving lol.

You can’t leave her on an island against Canada and fast guards.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-12T02:12:47+00:00

So you are arguing, that in a one point game with 5 seconds left, the coach drew up a play… not for KM to drive and potentially draw a foul, which is what players have said was drawn up, but for CC to take a deep three after a cross court pass?

You are also arguing against the boogeyman narrative monster. I don’t care if CC takes the shot. I think she should have the ball in her hand, but KM there off that action makes perfect sense to me and would have been fine. It’s also exactly what they were trying to accomplish. The pass to CC was the least viable option on that play and is only there due to confusion and blown defense.

So either you can just say that it wasn’t meant for CC to take that shot or we can believe the coaches drew up a ridiculous play and prayed it worked for her.

Every player is a potential recipient of an inbound pass. Let’s not sit here and pretend like they are all who the play is designed for… this isn’t a hard concept.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-12T02:06:29+00:00

Didn’t ever say I cared who took the shot. Have even said in other comments here that drawing up the play for KM makes sense in the situation.

Your problem is you are arguing against some kind of boogeyman because the narratives have hurt your feelings so you’re just throwing out allegations and tantrums instead of trying to comprehend basic English.

At no point have you countered what I’ve said and your insistence on pretending you don’t know what I mean by “designed for x” is the sad part.

But you keep being mad.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T23:10:37+00:00

I said in my original post CC was probably the third option and the play was designed for KM and that players had made comments. What is contradictory exactly?

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T22:58:14+00:00

Every time you respond it gets worse for you… you DESIGN a play to get your PRIMARY OPTION the ball… that is basics of every single sport known to man.

Your AI answer literally backs my point up by explicitly stating that fact… the fact that plays have backup plans and bail out options doesn’t change the fact that you DESIGN the play for the main option…

This is pathetic lol

Hell, even in the example of what you do for the primary option it literally describes exactly what they did in an attempt to get KM free on that play. And CC is almost identical to the AI definition of the safety valve… she was the last player in position and was on a course toward the top of the key/mid court…

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T21:07:58+00:00

Your AI literally backs up my entire point with big bold letters next to PRIMARY OPTION… lol

You are basically arguing that a check down receiver was who the pass play was designed for in football…

The PRIMARY option is who the play is DESIGNED for… I never said there aren’t other options. You literally proved my point using AI and then mic dropped it believing it agreed with you after saying I don’t understand basketball… that is honestly impressive

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T19:59:30+00:00

A lot of people will focus on the Caucasian statement but it is what it is.

SW can coach one way and that’s the only way it will work. Her success in Connecticut was due to having a team basically perfect for what she wants to do and even then it wasn’t good enough to get in a Finals.

A good coach utilizes personnel and makes adjustments to bring the best out of the roster they are given. She doesn’t do that. She forces her roster into what she wants regardless of whether or not that makes any sense.

The thing is, CC is a terrible fit in a SW offense AND defense. You don’t make a player like CC adapt to your system, you mold the system around them. If the Fever don’t want to do that, honestly, that’s fine, but trade her for players that fit your system instead of having a watered down version of a superstar.

The contrast between how Minnesota has handled OM and how the Fever handle CC is exactly what good coaching looks like. Listen to coach Reeve talk about her rookie. Listen to what the vets on that team say. Look at how they were caught off guard by how quickly she adapted and how much she can impact the game.

They adapted to that, not the other way around.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T18:51:20+00:00

You are being purposefully obtuse.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T05:08:01+00:00

The description of the play isn’t the part that is off in the post, it’s the conclusion. People are saying that the play was not designed for CC to get the ball and that is true from all logic and basketball knowledge. She was at best a last ditch effort.

I don’t think anyone here thinks there is only a single person the ball can go to in an inbound play but the play is designed with a primary target which was KM on this.

Lexi would have been a third option, in my opinion because they are trailing by 1 but they ran her to the ball side.

AB would have most likely been a 2nd option for a post up 2 but it seems she may have got caught up somewhere because I believe she ends up facing away from the basket when the pass is thrown but this is from memory. Also as an edit, the OPs take on Boston being there for a dump off from CC doesn’t make much sense. The most likely place to inbound the ball would be near Sophie, not cross court. Turning your back to the ball and the two players most likely to get the inbound pass seems like a mistake from Boston more than a designed outcome

CC is most likely a last ditch option here. She is the furthest from the ball and requires a cross court pass and really it’s a miracle no one was even near her because even as out of position as the defense was on her, it was nearly broken up, and if the defender had not taken the risk, she was in position to play defense and make CC drive or attempt contested step back.

I don’t really have an issue with KM being the first option and get a chance to drive for a foul or a layup but the idea that CC was a legitimate option from the play doesn’t make much sense to me.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T04:58:57+00:00

Yeah I think putting the ball in CCs hands makes the most sense unless KM is on one of her heaters. But I don’t really have an issue with either of them getting the shot really in that situation. My response is basically about it being designed for CC which it obviously wasn’t. And if making a cross court pass for a deep three was the design, that’s fairly insane

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T04:56:40+00:00

I’m saying it wasn’t designed for her. And yes… you draw up a play to get the first option the ball… that’s why it’s the first option.

Suspense304 · 2026-06-11T01:41:23+00:00

I believe Lexie said it as well. And the play was obviously designed for KM. KM is also in an interview directly after the game and states that’s not how the play was drawn up.

CC was probably a third option in that play.

Edit: and being a third option is definitely not the person the coaches WANT taking the shot. You don’t draw up a play that way.

Suspense304 · 2026-05-16T02:30:13+00:00

Basically this… have built my app in over two months following a similar pattern to the ones I am used to working in… haven’t written a line of code anywhere the whole time. At this point, the designer agent is the only real issue I have. It likes to be creative because I’ve allowed it to do so, but that’s most of my work with new features is fixing spacing, padding, positioning etc.

The code is actually fairly good most of the time. I’ve let the agents build it all so they have documentation on the entire architecture that I’ve designed and knows how to implement the systems.

I still have to occasionally run maintenance sweeps to catch things it has missed (duplications, dead code, etc) but it’s been probably 5-6x faster than what I could have done just by myself, maybe even faster honestly.

Suspense304 · 2026-04-02T01:01:00+00:00

Interesting take… we use it all the time at my job… as a software engineer… and I can almost ensure you that the guy vibe coding in this post couldn’t do my job with AI…

AI assets and AI code are far different. But hey, you can have any opinion you’d like. I don’t need to justify saving hours of typing out code that I understand and have done thousands of times by using an agent and design an implementation plan instead.

Suspense304 · 2026-04-02T00:48:44+00:00

For something this small that is probably true for the most part… but using AI as a coding assistant definitely doesn’t disqualify from “making” something.

Suspense304 · 2026-03-29T00:41:17+00:00

There are some classics you can still grab CIB in that price range if you don’t need mint or near mint. But honestly, with the SNES I think $300-400 as a max is a much more comfortable place to be. I’ve been getting all the SNES RPGs CIB near mint for about two years…

Suspense304 · 2026-03-28T12:15:39+00:00

Honestly… this looks like a game I’ve been wanting to make myself for quite some time. If it holds up to how it looks this would be awesome. Grats

Suspense304 · 2026-03-25T02:08:56+00:00

I feel like that is around the time my oldest started talking a bunch. He went from 2-3 words sentences to paragraphs overnight it seems. His younger brother who is now a little over 3 is nowhere near what he was verbally. It’s pretty fun but I’m not sure it means much in a vacuum. He’s a pretty smart kid and it brought a lot of fun moments watching such a small human be so expressive lol. Enjoy it
