@IndySportsTalks@UnderdogWNBA Both are turnover machines and both have their flaws on offense and defense. Both currently contributing to winning basketball because they are strong in different areas. Let them hoop,
@rntCANELA@UnderdogWNBA They are winning ALOT when she gets double doubles. This statement screams you don't watch the games. She turns the ball over alot but the clutch rebounds and kickouts she makes have definitely made a HUGE difference for that ATL team.
Angel Reese's last five games:
11 PTS | 10 REB
18 PTS | 17 REB
17 PTS | 17 REB
25 PTS | 9 REB
15 PTS | 17 REB
Atlanta is 8-1 this season when she records double-digit rebounds.
The Texans go 2-3 deep at most offensive spots for the first time in probably the entire Demeco Ryans era.

Houston has had injuries derail their offense in past seasons (Tank, Diggs in 24’ & Mixon in 25’) that they weren’t able to recover from, they are now much better equipped to deal with that.
@BigOxBob@mike_daddino She's gotten more hate than love so I'd say it's indeed the opposite. She wasn't some offensive guru in college but her offense is developing and her defense is still good🤷🏾♂️. I'd say she's not as bad as ppl make her out to be.
Azeez Al-Shaair on Keylan Rutledge & Texans OL mentality:
“The mentality. I was talking to Rut about this. The best OLmen I know are like gnats. Get off the block & by the end of the play you just feel somebody breathing on you like ‘man get the hell away from me.’ That’s how it’s been for him specifically [Rutledge]. There’s times where I’m over there thinking about punching him cuz he just right there, on you. And I love that. The best players at that position just won’t stop. It’s hard to coach somebody to be physical. He has the right mindset. Obviously the guys we brought in as well, Wyatt, Braden, just like I said guys like ‘damn this dude won’t leave me alone.’ The pests.”
