do you realize how bad a .500 record is with three all-stars and two all-wnba /mvp ladder players on your team? that's bad for the NBA let alone a fucking 10 team league...lol.

Apparently I only look at box scores.

So let’s look at defense then.

Clark: team defends BETTER with her on the floor.

Paige: team defends MUCH better with her OFF the floor.

Awkward.

@realapp @DallasWings @DallasWingsPR ties Lisa Leslie, Tamika Catchings, A'ja Wilson with 2 in a season.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

This called chemistry and probably from playing the same sets from UConn. Saw it live at the Sparks Wings game.

[Melissa Triebwasser @TheCoachMelissa]

Azzi Fudd talked about Paige Bueckers’ talents as a facilitator as well as potentially having more opportunities herself to initiate the offense.

“She knows where I’m going to be before I even get there.”

Lmao she getting the luka treatment

[ami ✰ @wrldofastargrl]

Wow look at our new practice facility

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

TLDR; you can’t possibly have AB, CC, and KM - all WNBA players, generational talents and reduce them to a 5-5 team… that will be coaching.

On Defense..Look at Steph Curry. Look at Luka. Neither are “great” defenders. Coaches counter scheme to bring out their superpowers. Cori Close said this too. Look at Miles and how Reeve is letting her roll. And FO sign rosters that work. Remember Monta Ellis, 25ppg but not the right fit for Steph. Then they got Klay.

[Mike Leslie @MikeLeslieWFAA]

The Dallas Wings had the toughest schedule in the WNBA over the first 11 games of the season, per ESPN Analytics.

Through 10 of those 11 games, the Wings are 7-3 and hold the 2nd-best record in the league.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

lol he was a slick passer and slick coach

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

That time Jason Kidd didn't have any timeouts so he spilled his drink 😂

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

@antivirgosuns She’s never leaving Indy but if she were, LA makes the most sense

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

@robinlundberg We tired.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

Players will play their best when they’re bought in to the system and the coach. Look at Natasha Howard, look at Nalyssa Smith. Fever rn playing like when you’re working for a manager you’re lukewarm about… not gonna get the best out of you.

[Jenny @jortizie]

I like Steph White but when the whole team is playing bad. Serious conversations and adjustments need to be made.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

CC to Sparks. Let’s roll!

[kb 💥 @kerrrr22]

Cori Close identifying the obvious — the SCHEME covers for every other star player’s weaknesses so they can lean into their “superpowers” and be the player we all know them to be. That is EXACTLY what is missing on the Fever right now.

Stephanie White has had exactly one system on both offense and defense for over a decade. It’s outdated, it’s predictable, and it’s built for personnel that are NOT one her current roster.

Once again, this coach needs to step the fuck up and do what is required of her job in 2026 and ADAPT. They are actively destroying both their star player’s game and reputation by failing her in such a spectacular fashion.

That is not the narrative that drives media clicks, though. Blaming the player is easier.

[Mily @DayDreamThis]

I underestimated the amount of ball Cori Close knows. Shout out to her pointing out Olivia's defense right now isn't really her, it's the Minnesota system hiding her.

And s/o to her IQ on that and everything else she said on that show.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

Sigh…

[X coach anderson X @coachandere6xa]

Cori close is the 1st one to call on Indy defensive scheme wasn’t right for Caitlin Clark . She brought up the players I mentioned in grey & miles & how they scheme . They didn’t figure out cc the offense she’s forced to play in minimizes her as a player.

[AllStan_WNBA @AllStan_WNBA]

@TheLukaVerse I think thats the right male comp.
