@iminyourwoods@natlovesalexia Idk about Dallas specifically but players generally drive for home games, especially since they’re in and out a couple of times during the day… no bus is a big part of home court advantage! Also 5 pretty known for staying long after the game anyway, for a lift etc
@ForGoodAri@HunterCruse14@coffeebeign I’d argue they don’t even need to tank, just build a proper system around PB (and Fudd as the clear 2). Coaching team got too distracted by early szn shiny offense that they forgot to execute the vision.
@sydney_thinks@mofaya_ Miles getting the soft flagrant call by Siegrest when my goat can’t even get a call being knee’d and throated, if we tracking ts
@michelles2cool I think a lot of early June media discussions left her off (post mini slump I guess) but they all have the good sense to have been moved by the last couple of weeks.
@AuntieChelM@adukeMN Clark, Bueckers, Miles, Plum (no order)
Then Gray/Howard toss up
Then Mabrey/Mitchell toss up
I think Mitchell is better than Mabrey as a whole, but Mabreys unconscious shooting feels like the Tempos biggest weapon.
@AuntieChelM@adukeMN Kelsey Mitchell can’t be ahead of CC. She’s epic as a scorer but CC scores as much and gets everyone going as well. CC gets KM going as well, but it doesn’t happen the other way around.
@adukeMN Outside of general offensive production.. Mystics games were clutch, win vs Valks turned game around, win vs PHX 2nd q turn around. Last 5 games also highlights the middy added to her W shot diet. Chicago game was ugly but rim drives drawing fouls were so essential to the W.
@kt_sanderson@seeratsohi The article isn’t about the micro though. It’s about high level optics and a league ill-equipped to handle it. Clark’s shit talk isn’t even exceptional, just the circumstances around her.
