Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s.

April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.”

April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.”

April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!”

April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!”

April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.”

May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!”

May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”

Candace Parker on Geno confronting Dawn Staley last night: "The colors always come to light."

[Kay-Kay @kailaelisejoi]

Kim Mulkey ain’t do no shit like this. As many times Dawn beat my Tigers.

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

Sarah Strong said she ripped her jersey by accident after missing a shot.

[Alyssa Lang @AlyssaLang]

One of the best defensive performances of the season, and what should be a conversation about an incredible win- is taken over by Geno’s actions at the end of the game

Based on what I saw going into the locker room post game, it has only fired this group up more

This season has to be Dawn Staley’s best coaching job yet 🤙🏼

[Kevín @KevOnStage]

Geno went out like a sucka.

[Matt Dowell @MattDowellTV]

Really impressive locker room from the Gamecocks.

Made no excuses, gave all credit to Texas. Took accountability for how they played.

A lot of sound to come.

I realize when you’re in media, you’re required to talk about 50 million things and can’t possibly be an expert at them all. That’s ok sometimes because viewers and listeners just want to hear your worldview, even if it’s not a sport you regularly cover.

That said, when it comes to women’s sports, I find it disappointing that a bar isn’t being raised when it comes to expertise and knowledge. Men who barely watch, speak or cover the sport are positioned as “experts” and those opinions are centered in driving narratives about leagues, teams and players.

That is a not critique of Mad Dog specifically, but he is a representative of a wider problem in sports media. Women’s sports coverage still lags well behind men’s. You’re already devoting such little time to it AND the accepted standard is uninformed opinions being centered — that’s a problem.

Again, it’s not about whether what’s being said is right or wrong, but I’ve just been observing this for decades.
