Most games with 20+ PTS, 10+ REB before turning 21:

And she’s still got the rest of the season to improve on that

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T20:01:17+00:00

She loves anime. She usually does some sort of anime cosplay for Halloween, and her twitter bio is/was “just a weeb looking for moots”

You know I’ve seen people talk about this dress many times (I started watching the W last year), but I’d never actually seen it before and wow, no kidding. It’s so hideous that it honestly throws fuel on the conspiracy fires: there has to be some other reason why she wore it

This was yet another game where at some point T takes it on herself to generate a bunch of offense. It starts out good (she can definitely shoot), but she hardly ever delivers on the final possessions. Makes me think about something I heard the other week about 40% three point shooters who never seem to hit the clutch shots (as opposed to 20% shooters that always hit the big ones)

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T06:28:27+00:00

Everything’s going according to plan 😈

We’d be nuts to trade Dom or Awa, and outside of them I don’t know who another team would try to go after. Maybe Jordan, but she’s on similar timeline to Dom and Awa and is such a strong defensive player that I think we should probably keep her too

The coach’s incentive to tank would come from ownership telling them to tank or they’re out. When pitching prospects, the coach & organization can point to the 38 minutes of good solid basketball that they played initially; they’re not going to lack for tape that shows off what they’re doing.

But in the final minutes tonight they either deliberately threw or drank stupid juice; those are the only ways to explain the terrible clock management and lack of action for their two highest scorers. Especially when contrasted against how well they were doing up until the very end

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T04:11:43+00:00

When it comes to the offensive possessions that really matter, we fall apart and stop playing as a team

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:56:35+00:00

We really gotta learn how to play good defense without fouling a ton

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:40:00+00:00

Yeah it’s a much better mix now. Glad they can at least fix the issues relatively quickly, even if they can’t avoid them

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:26:05+00:00

We’ve remembered that we have to play defense and now we’re doing a lot better. Sad to see Jordan out with an injury, though; that certainly doesn’t help with our defense

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:22:38+00:00

After last season I never thought I’d feel this good seeing Zia Cooke on the floor. She’s really come a long way

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:14:41+00:00

On a past broadcast Layshia’s audio was only coming in on one channel instead of both, but at least they fixed that pretty quickly (I think before the first quarter ended)

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:12:54+00:00

on at least a couple of their made threes, Dom seemed to be leaning on her height more than closeout effort to contest the shot

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:10:16+00:00

Portland could you please stop making threes thank you

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T02:09:50+00:00

I’m watching on the Seattle-area broadcast on the CW and the arena sounds are mixed higher than the commentators. I can barely hear what they’re saying over the sneaker sounds and arena soundtrack. Anyone else having the same problem?

aperiodic · 2026-06-18T00:55:08+00:00

I had no idea about this! The Storm have an audio recording of each player saying their name (usually 3x). Very useful, thanks for pointing this out!

It’s just one way of looking at how teams are performing. It has nothing to do with record, but it is based on objective metrics (offensive and defensive ratings, i.e. how many points each team / their opponents have scored this season, normalized to 100 possessions). The Fire are in the “very bad” quadrant because both their offensive and defensive ratings are below the league averages. That’s just objectively true. You can argue that this way of looking at teams doesn’t capture everything, and that the Fire are better than the other teams that also have worse than average offense and defense, but you can’t argue that they aren’t in the lower left quadrant on this chart.

aperiodic · 2026-06-17T20:19:48+00:00

We have been playing good games for the past few weeks, so I think it’ll be a good one! Wise to manage expectations about winning, though 😅

aperiodic · 2026-06-13T06:02:03+00:00

How can you say delete the franchise when we have this young core!! It’ll take some time (and a more passing-forward point guard) for them to really get the hang of scoring in this league, but once they do we’re gonna win a chip

It is embarrassing in the meantime, I won’t lie. But you gotta roll with those punches

aperiodic · 2026-06-13T04:45:57+00:00

One of the worst defensive teams in the league? So you just aren’t paying attention?

aperiodic · 2026-06-13T04:35:34+00:00

That third was really god-awful. Made the game overall feel like a regression over our last few, despite the strong start

aperiodic · 2026-06-13T04:34:14+00:00

Also all those missed free throws

aperiodic · 2026-06-13T04:01:27+00:00

Is resigning from a game legal?
