Now it’s like a “this is getting out of hand” conversation, but it was out of hand back then when you had 40+ year old grown men leading the hate train on a 20 year old. Leadership could have put a hand on this but said it was good for the game. Now it’s out of hand.
Alot of us pointed out back then that this would become a bigger problem later down the line. People really sat back and thought it was normal for a 20 year old to receive that amount of hate and they (even ppl that looked like her) didn’t see her worthy of grace or justice.
The problems in women’s basketball/WNBA reached “beyond basketball” levels on Sunday, April 2nd, 2023. The problem is, people swept all of those glaring issues under the rug and said “well the game is growing.”
@Btalksports A flat-out lie. Anyone who knows ball could see the Mystics were allowed to play extremely aggressively while the Dream got called for touch fouls. Half those “blocks” were fouls. Dream players were bodied and hit in the face and arms with no calls.
Also, the refs are definitely allowing the Mystics to hack the shit out of Angel, and they definitely took away at least one steal and one block. It’s even wilder to witness in person. This league hates her. Smh
Like I said, neither Karl or the Dream organization wants to win. They want to leverage Angel’s popularity to make a shitload of money without fixing the obvious roster gaps or Smesko’s coaching deficiencies. They’re comfortable being a 4–6 seed and getting bounced in the 1st rd.
Btw, Angel is definitely Kiki’s Super Bowl. I don’t know why, but she clearly treats Angel like her biggest rival. She doesn’t play with that same edge against anyone else. I saw her in person against Dallas on Wednesday. She was soft as hell. And those elbows??? 😬 Boston Jr.
@wnbastats1 Wait. Are you telling me that you believe a WAIVED player couldn’t sign with any other team in this league, including Atlanta? Because you do realize the Dream could also waive players to make the necessary space for her, right?
Pretty standard Flagrant 1 foul. Many players with more egregious fouls are awarded the same this season epecially.
Like Dijonai said: white privilege is the only reason for the Flagrant 2 and this ejection.
@CookedByZer0@SGCHIPSKYLARK Caitlin Clark and “incredible defense” never belong in the same sentence. Ever. So please understand that only you are the slow one in this situation.
Angel Reese been hooping consistently all year on both ends with only a few bad games fr don’t let these troll accounts fool y’all these lames not watching the games they waiting for a Gotcha you moment.
Dream's offense is really the most predictable shit in the W, and it's so nerve wracking that Karl Smesko has nothing else in his bag so he only can hope that their threes fall. A totally clueless coach building a 3-point identity with no consistent 3-point team.
@taxi_cam Only someone who is biased would say that Kiki doesn’t play with a specific passion against Angel. Kiki is talented; I’ve never denied it. It’s not about her numbers so much as how she shows up. She sees Angel differently a competitor and it shows in how she shows up.🤷🏾♀️
@Brady_A_W@amuma_mmirii Jesus. Y'all really are stupid. I explicitly said I watched her in person twice this week, yet you ask this dumb ass question. 😂
