A slight miscommunication between rookie Cotie McMahon and second-year guard Sonia Citron on a crucial possession served as a reminder that the Washington Mystics are still the youngest team in the league. The mistake gave Indiana just enough space to knock down a go-ahead three-pointer.
The fact that the Indiana Fever needed that opportunity to secure the win after blowing a 17-point lead shows they still have a long way to go.
This is why I can’t stand Caitlin Clark fans.
Caitlin was horrific tonight.
She had 14 points and 5 turnovers.
She choked on free throws.
She was well on her way to being the CAUSE of the Fever losing for the 6th time in 11 games.
Stephanie White drew up a great play.
Cotie McMahon made a stupid gamble.
Caitlin lucked into a wide open 3 to take her up to 17.
Clap. Clap.
She had 10 in the 1st quarter…..and 4 for the rest of the game to go with 5 turnovers before that lucky 3.
You were about to go into hiding as you ALWAYS do after EVERY terrible game….when you were bailed out by a lucky three.
Please don’t pop out talking trash after that. Stop it. 😂
Angel Reese has been solid through the first 10 games of the season, and tomorrow she'll face her former team for the first time as the Atlanta Dream take on the Chicago Sky.
Reese was selected by Chicago with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She joined a Sky team that was entering a rebuilding era after sneaking into the playoffs as the eighth and final seed in 2023. By the time Reese arrived, three of Chicago’s top five scorers from the previous season—Courtney Williams, Kahleah Copper, and Alanna Smith—had already moved on, while Marina Mabrey, another top-five scorer, was traded during the season.
Even with all the roster turnover, Reese wasted little time making history. During her time with the Sky, she set multiple records, including the highest single-season rebounding average in WNBA history, the longest consecutive double-double streak, and becoming the fastest frontcourt player to record a triple-double.
She also earned two All-Star selections and last season was one of only two players, alongside Breanna Stewart, to finish among the league’s top 25 in all five main statistical categories.
Now with Atlanta, Reese is continuing that production. She is one of just three players averaging a double-double, leads the league in rebounds, ranks among the league leaders in steals+blocks per game, and is just outside the top 25 in assists per game. She’s also coming off one of her best performances of the season, finishing with 18 points, 17 rebounds, and four steals in just 24 minutes during a win over Washington. The Dream are (4-0) this season when Angel scores at least 15 points.
Tomorrow’s game will mark the first meeting between Reese and the franchise where her WNBA career began. Can she help lead the Dream to their eighth win of the season? We’ll find out soon enough. 🪄
Sue Bird has a body of work that CC will never match.
Lindsay Whalen was better.
Chelsea Gray is better.
Olivia Miles is already better.
Hannah Hidalgo will give her nightmares next season.
@alknowsstuff I agree, just sucks that she sacrificed being atleast solid anywhere just to be an elite rebounder 😭😭, “like yeah she sucks ass on offense and defense but atleast she can rebound 😩”
