NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

It is so petty.

How can Reese actually be mad at that?

How many times has she delivered cheap shots on Clark?

She gets a hard foul back and can’t handle it?

Grow up.

Happened to be driving and had the radio on after the game was over. It was stated that the foul that was called a flagrant on Clark would always be a common foul on anyone else. The butthurt bitches in the league are ridiculous, Clark is the sole reason they aren’t flying commercial anymore.

I agree.

Yeah, it really didn't deserve to be called a flagrant....not sure why they did call it one....

Not that it mattered, the Fever blew them out.

She gets things called different because 70 percent of the league is stupid. Same reason she wasn’t on the Olympic team. I’m avoiding the R word here but there are questions.

The Golden State Valkyries are an expansion team and their game vs the Las Vegas Aces drew a little over 18k.

I disagree on that one.....very few rookies make the Olympic team.

Everybody here is still asleep except for myself and little man, Demetrius.

I'm chatting here on tHoop and watching Snapped: The Aileen Wuornos and the D-man is dancing around and watching something on his I-pad.

Had 3 huge mugs of coffee.....overdid it.

LOL.

She didn’t earn the Olympic team.

She wasn’t at training camp.

The timeline doesn’t work for rookies.

She will be on the next one.

well it was widely reported that veterans kept her off the team. I’m not a fan anyway, it’s horrible basketball. I like to see people treated fairly though.

Exactly. Especially on the didn't earn it.

There's actually a case to be made that being left off of the Olympic team was good for her. With everything that went on prior to the Olympics...she probably needed the break.

She was a far better player after the Olympics than before. Some of that was obviously her starting to figure out the WNBA game, but I think the time off helped a good bit too.

She was treated fairly.

Had she been accepted to the team without attending camp, that would not have been fair.

As I have said before, building an Olympic team isn’t just about assembling the 12 best players. It needs to be a cohesive team.

And inviting a rookie who didn’t attend camp and some of the players may already be jealous of does not lead to a quality locker room.

I will go 1 step further and say it would have been 100% wrong to include Caitlin Clark on that team.
