@awcwvlc most media houses survive on clickbait these days lol

@Miracle_NNnn Honestly, this is only if your startup is targeted towards other founders/tech people. Most regular customers will never go to these sites, and posting on there just opens up the possibility of your app getting cloned by the founders/tech people who frequent the site.

The behavior from section 102 was ABHORRENT. ATL is a city built on the backs of POC and to hear racist comments about Kaitlyn all through the second half was genuinely so disappointing and disgusting.

@lgiokcfordrama Yeah same, the comments under the tweet I’d quoted are indicative of this tbh, the narratives have already started. So much hatred in this sport man

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

Glad WNBA is getting more recognition!

For everyone using this to argue that Caitlin isn’t a major reason for the WNBA’s popularity, a Fever REGULAR-SEASON game this year had 3.31 million viewers lol. Imagine the viewership when the Fever reach the Finals - easily double of this 😂

Enjoy this record for now, it’s getting broken very soon!

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Dream-Valkyries Game 1 was the most-watched WNBA Finals Game 1 ever, with 2.1 million viewers, per @NBCSportsPR.

Up 11% vs. last year's Game 1.

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

Just saw highlights from the Spurs game, and I’m so glad I didn’t pick Wemby for my fantasy league this year omg😭😭 I definitely think this was an uncharacteristically bad shooting night for him, he’ll definitely get better, but worrying to see how he was completely neutralised by Mara.

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

@heysatya_ @adrianabelarde Super cool!!

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

The reason these big brands get so many views is since they have a well-oiled marketing system already - they’ve got creators ready to post videos even before the product launch, and the money to pay those creators. Your product is great, I think you just need a more robust marketing system. My DMs are open in case you want to chat, can discuss the marketing further

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

@caitsrotytrophy He’s so obsessed lmaooo, it’s just for engagement - he knows his Fever/Caitlin tweets get wayy more engagement than anything else

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

Honestly I’m not sure she’ll thrive in the Valkyries though tbh, they’ve made their whole identity as team over the individual - it’s not really a system for superstars to thrive. They’re also wayy more defensively focused than offensively, which goes against her natural playing style a bit

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

Just read the ESPN article about Nakase, and these paragraphs really stood out - how she lets players play to their strengths, and lets them be themselves.

Honestly, Steph White could learn a lot from this. The issue with Steph is not that she’s a defensive-minded coach, Nakase is defensively focused too.

The difference is that Nakase took the time to actually understand her players and their strengths, and she modifies her game plans according to her team’s strengths. Steph White instead always tried to get the Fever to change their natural playing styles to adapt to her schemes. She also seemed to have super rigid schemes that didn’t change based on real-time game scenarios - if something didn’t work, the Fever didn’t really have any alternative approaches/schemes to run instead. This coaching style can’t form a successful team.

Iowa looking soliddd this year!!

[Talia Goodman @TaliaGoodmanWBB]

Key performers from Iowa’s closed scrimmage win over Oklahoma State, sources told @On3:

Dani Carnegie: 31 PTS, 13 REB, 6 AST, 3 STL
McKenna Woliczko: 19 PTS, 4 REB
Ava Heiden: 12 PTS, 7 REB, 3 STL

Audi Crooks: 25 PTS, 8 REB
Liv McGill: 24 PTS, 10 AST
Stailee Heard: 21 PTS, 7 REB

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

@Onedutch69 Yeahh, when the clock winds down, everyone knows they have to get the ball into Gabby’s hands because she’s the best scorer. They play their roles to make sure that happens. Fever just has their own ego politics going on

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

I absolutely love this article. What an interesting insight into the brain of Nakase tbh.

Her approach is "We're here to win or die” - which explains so much about why the Valkyries give it their all every game, and play like they have nothing to lose.

[Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews]

Sometimes she plays bomb noises during practice.

She texts her staff at 4 a.m.

She forgets to eat while game planning.

ESPN story on how Natalie Nakase’s “healthy obsession” with basketball led the Valkyries to the Finals: https://t.co/H438gzOnsz

@SmokeBs21 What are you on about omg🤣🤣🤣 The guy above said “major stars” for the first time not me lmaooo. And yes, I do think Angel is a big star in the sport, don’t think Rhyne is yet. Idk how that matters to the convo lollll

[T 🧩 @bagelled]

I just found out that Rhyne and Angel got onto Twitter just hours after Game 1 of the Finals, and started blocking their own FANS for criticising them for their game performance??? What is even happening??
