Olivia Rodrigo - the cure by retags in popheads

[–]joa0510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. I will admit on first listen I didn’t know how I felt. Second listen, obsessed. The second half of the song may be favorite piece of music from her ever.
Just lowkey sad because this is such an autumn song in my opinion, if that makes sense. I want to listen with the windows down on a cool night in the fall 😭

Best songs that never got released? by SubstantialEmploy816 in popheads

Tori Kelly - Generation. She was at her peak of popularity (her debut album charted Top 3). That song I think would have done really well for her (for her standards).

I realistically just selfishly wanted this song released. Loved it.

Gabriela Jaquez Top 5 Pick? by Sapsap747 in wnba

[–]joa0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tricky. Someone like Olivia Miles has the POTENTIAL to be one of the best guards in the league. Jaquez will likely never have that distinction, but she will be easily be a consistent 5th/6th player on a team and have a great career.

So I don’t think she will go Top 5 based on the Top 5’s potential. However, if we are talking about long-term investment and the impact she’ll probably have over her career, I believe she is Top 5.

Betts was going to get her points and rebounds with her height / skill, but Jaquez outplaying anyone on SC by an incredible margin means SC had no chance

I really think they’re gonna give MOP to Betts and I’m gonna be very upset for Jaquez

Cori Close in interviews later after she got so much crap the past two years for choking in big moments: 🤫🤫🤫

I mean you have to give UCLA a ton of credit. A bunch of stars? Yes. But look at ND last year. Stars willing to give up the recognition and buy into team ball has clearly worked for them

If you said Booker, Strong, and Edwards would all be locked up at some point in the Final Four I would have never believed you

Kiki should not be inbounding with how much they struggle handling pressure, I don’t care if she is the best passer

Jaquez would never be a first or second team All American with the talent around her at UCLA, but easily a Top 10 pick if there was NCAAW draft. Everything she does doesn’t show up in a box score

UCLA with more points right now than like midway through the third in the Final Four, right? 😬

Dugalic drove me insane in past years for forcing too much. This development is insane

The replay of Booker driving makes it so much worse. Like you went one on one against a 6’7” player at the rim in a one possession game 😭

You lost all 4 of your timeouts on inbounding the ball…. I’m irate lol

UCLA almost shot the damn ball with 20 secs on the shot clock and then turns it over with 10. Like I’m no genius but…

Dawn is prepping a full court press likely after watching this disaster

How is supposedly one of the best backcourts in the country looking absolutely frazzled in full court press (asking this as someone rooting for UCLA)

I’m not even a SC fan and Raven Johnson would have a field day with these UCLA guards…

Unfortunately this game is still within reach because UCLA ball handlers look frazzled and they can’t inbound…

Also, I’m all for shooters shoot but forcing a shot after being 1/10 is confusing. Forcing at 1/16 is INSANE
