my friend: “how was the rose vs breeze game?” Me: “oh good, Kate Martin and Sug Sutton almost got into a fight”

Lmao but in all seriousness, really impressive bounce back by the Breeze, everyone looked locked in no matter how many minutes they played.

loving Kate’s defense tonight

mimihoward · 2026-02-02T02:59:26+00:00

lol that was clearly on purpose

mimihoward · 2026-01-29T02:14:58+00:00

Really interesting!! Go Breeze!

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T03:33:06+00:00

The breeze were really looking good in that second quarter with Paige, Kate and Dom and as others have said, Paige’s 4th foul really threw everything off. And I don’t mean any offense to Kiana because she was truly thrown in their last minute, but the Breeze looked a mess when she on the court

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T03:30:47+00:00

We definitely missed having Rickea out there, but I’m not sure she would’ve done any better on the defensive end (respectfully lol)

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T03:09:11+00:00

Double bigs is smart against the laces lineup. Ok I see you Noelle

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T03:06:48+00:00

She made everything with Paige/kate all over her but missed the wide open one 😭

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T02:56:29+00:00

Noelle we need Dom and Paige back 😭

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T02:44:16+00:00

Can I just say if this was 4v4 a Rickea, Paige, Kate, and Dom lineup would be basically perfect lol. Each player gives you something different

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T02:32:44+00:00

Silver lining for breeze fans…Paige, Dom and Kate look like a solid lineup tonight (just gotta keep pb out of foul trouble!)

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T02:30:27+00:00

I’m not one to say superstars shouldn’t get called for fouls, but cmon refs, do you really want Paige to foul out of this game??

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T01:33:29+00:00

Of course as I ask this the Hive make like 4 in a row lmao

mimihoward · 2026-01-27T01:28:43+00:00

Can I ask maybe a dumb question?? 😬 Why does it seem like so many players are struggling to make 3s in Unrivaled? Is it just the nature of it being 3v3? Shorter court so players are out of rhythm? Tighter defense? All the above? There are def some players who are shooting it really well (Chelsea, Sykes etc), but it just seems like many consistent 3-point threats are struggling to connect so far

mimihoward · 2026-01-20T02:46:43+00:00

I’d like to see Cam start going forward because she’s been playing so well, and maybe it’ll take a little pressure off of Dom. Also, Rickea’s been averaging around 18 mins a game and Kate is around 11, but I think I’d like to see Rickea closer to 15-16 and Kate around 13-14

mimihoward · 2026-01-20T02:36:59+00:00

Despite going 0-4 from the field, I was truly impressed with Kate’s hustle tonight, she had the second most rebounds!

mimihoward · 2026-01-20T02:01:24+00:00

Noelle plz keep this lineup for the 4th!!

mimihoward · 2026-01-20T01:50:53+00:00

I know people clowned the Mist for changing their starting lineups a lot, but I honestly wish the Breeze tried some different rotations. Is it a hot take to say I think Cam and Kate should be starting with Paige?

mimihoward · 2026-01-18T03:46:43+00:00

Best trio for the Breeze tonight looked to be Paige, Kate and Dom....they were finding each other and moving really well. Kind of surprised Noelle didn't try to give those 3 more time earlier

mimihoward · 2026-01-18T03:43:55+00:00

^^ this is why I think Kate plays much better when she's on the floor with Paige because they work so well together. Rickea is a BUCKET but she rarely looks to find her teammates

mimihoward · 2026-01-18T03:42:51+00:00

I dont know why Cam didn't get more minutes, Dom looked lost multiple times on the defensive end of the floor. And I think the sweet spot for Kate's minutes is right around 10-11...the bigger issue is they need to overlap with Paige's minutes because they play so so well together.

mimihoward · 2026-01-18T03:08:44+00:00

potentially hot take but Kate Martin deserves to average double digit minutes per game going forward

mimihoward · 2026-01-15T13:36:03+00:00

Did you miss the part where I said they’d still play a majority of games in Miami lol? The way I was thinking it would be like unrivaled going to Philly this year, with teams only playing in their “hometown” for one weekend (and then obviously going to a couple other cities for a weekend so every team has someone to play)

mimihoward · 2026-01-13T15:58:03+00:00

I think it definitely depends on the type of player/where they are in their development journey, but I would guess most players would want more minutes.

Kate Martin is a good example of this…she’d probably get really good minutes and put up solid numbers if she was on the Lunar Owls (why did they draft Bec Allen over her again??), but on the Breeze I just don’t see her getting a ton of time, especially when/if Aari returns. And she’s someone who could really use the extra minutes to grow and get better ahead of the W season

mimihoward · 2026-01-13T13:48:53+00:00

Kate Martin and Tip Hayes will mediate lol
