Mike “The Midas Touch” Siravo has been transforming talent for the Vikings and called a heck of a game today against the Ravens. A sure fire future DC.
Olivia Miles the Magic Johnson of the WNBA. She is the ultimate ceiling raiser.
She plays the game at a different speed than everyone else. Doesn’t need huge scoring numbers to have an immense impact.
🚨 20 OUT OF 35 GAMES. READ THAT AGAIN.
Olivia Miles has been OUTSCORED BY A TEAMMATE in 20 of the 35 games she’s played this season — 57% of her games.
She has been Minnesota’s OUTRIGHT leading scorer only 11 times.
And THIS is who we’re supposed to pretend is single-handedly driving Minnesota’s success and belongs at the front of the MVP conversation? 🤨
Minnesota is a MACHINE. McBride can give you 43. Collier can take over. Howard can dominate inside. Williams can explode. Even Nia Coffey has led them in scoring.
That’s not an insult to Miles — she’s having a great rookie season.
But MOST VALUABLE PLAYER is supposed to mean something.
When your own teammates outscore you MORE OFTEN THAN THEY DON’T and your team keeps steamrolling people regardless of who leads the box score, maybe the MVP discussion needs a little more LOGIC and a little less NARRATIVE.
20 OF 35. 57%.
Explain to me how that screams “this team goes as Olivia Miles goes.” 🎤

Jake Golday is very similar to Andrew Van Ginkel in terms of how versatile they are. He will be rushing the passer from depth mostly but don’t be surprised to see him at the edge.
The Denver Nuggets coach looks like a fucking dork. It’s going to be hard for him to win a playoff series while I’m giving him a swirly in the locker room.
The only 3-Tech prospects drafted in round 1 since 2015 with a run stop rate < 7.0% in their best college season and hand size > 10.5". Buyer beware on Caleb Banks..
🔘 Caleb Banks, Florida
🔘 Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss
🔘 Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame
🔘 Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina
