Because in his view, she was left off so they could get more blacks and lesbians…and *gasp* black lesbians on the team. Basically, it was a calculated and personal snub to every red-blooded MAGAt.
Well, her PT would be limited. She’s not a good defender and her TO’s are off the charts. I believe she set a record for the most turnovers in a game for a rookie. So this isn’t at all the same as MJ as a rookie, who averaged 28.2 ppg, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. He was the GOAT from the start and she needs some work.
Even Sir Charles was ok with it. One of my fav stories…I think it’s true and not urban myth. Coach dismissed him because he thought he wasn’t serious and wouldn’t get into shape. Why? Because someone ratted him out that he had a closet full of Twinkies in Bloomington at the try outs.
Please don’t belittle the need for MAGA’s to fully express their feelz, especially on a topic that is obviously so important to them.
The argument that the selectors went for a roster stacked with veterans, if true, is flawed. The team would benefit by mixing in (and developing) a few young players who will be the backbone of future Olympic teams.
Or, was it scheduled that way to exclude top college players from the tryouts?
Maybe, but the WNBA game is not nearly as far ahead of the college women game. But the NBA is way way way ahead of the college men.
That may be true, I have no inside knowledge. Ionescue made it, she is about 2 years older.
I think she can get her own shot better than Alford, but her game overall doesn’t fit yet.
Cmon man tmpuke and BVH want maga...She's white and straight, it'll never fit with the DEI gang bangers.
She is a great shooter, poor defender. As an IU fan that sat right next to the court, she complains about every call. I don't blame her for yelling at the fans, they were overly exuberant in name calling. But every call/non call led to complaints and theatrics. Her coaches and teammates discussed the maturity she needed back as a freshman, she was trying to do too much and not trust her teammates. I think in the pro game she has to go further.

Or that she went to the bathroom. The media gets on a kick and they can't let up UNTIL something else comes along and then they'll drop it like a hot potato and on to the new subject.
Taurasi is in there on past accolades alone. I would have dropped her. There is some other chicken who has been injured all year too. Guard. Another one they could have dropped. Clark could probably use the rest but the league and a bunch of the players are about the bottom of the barrel when it comes to marketing. Christine Brennan is reporting the old heads didn't want her on the team because fans would complain when she wasn't getting minutes.
Put her as the 2 guard and you have several drive and dish point guards. She would fit on the team like a Curry would. Having someone that extends the floor as much as she does makes it really damn difficult on a defense. That especially becomes the case when every other person on her team is supposedly one of the best players in the world at their position as well.
Just trying to entertain Marv! Thats what the people want.
Her team and her coach are complete garbage. She's easily a top 10 player in the league.
Taurasi had games of 30 and 28 last week. But their scoring averages are almost exactly the same, 16 points, and Taurasi is unquestionably better defensively. Just read that if the injured player isn’t able to go, Caitlin will probably get the spot. I could argue either way on this one, honestly.
Right now? No she’s not. And I’m confident I’ve watched more WNBA games than you have. Will she be? Absolutely. She’s going to break all kinds of records if she stays healthy.
If you take requests, can you do a couple George Carlin routines?
If you quickly walked by a muted TV, and a WNBA ad was on, you’ve watched more than dbm.
This DEI crap has gone too far. IDK why she got left off the team. Politics? I wonder how many of these girls on the roster actually give a crap about the USA. Also, growing up the Olympics were a big deal, has that luster completely worn off?

Hahahaha I'll gladly link em! One of my favorites is the vaccine. Swimming in the Hudson. Thats a classic.
Think his response must have been pulled. Not sure because it was offensive or stupid or most likely both. It’s hilarious people who have likely never watched an entire WNBA game have such strong opinions on this.
I don’t follow the WNBA so much as there are individual players I keep my eye on. Clark being one of them. Others include:
This could go so many directions. I guess when I saw it my first reaction was how popular she has become and how many tickets she sold how this could happen. Also, the fact lately all these f*cking men trying to compete in women sports just pisses me off. Caitlin is a bad ass, and as someone said she is streaky, but damn man she can nail 3's from big distance when she is on. It's cool to watch. It's nice to see a WOMAN killing it in her sport. That should be celebrated, and it is, but right now with all the BS in women sports with men she needs to be seen by the world! I still don't understand how we got to this point. jmho
