@AstrosJosh If we're sharing opinions then I think there's no need for this random arbitrary pointless distinction

No disrespect to Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio, but Justin Verlander and Jose Altuve will always be the two most important players in Houston Astros franchise history.
2x World Series Champs
Both future HOFers

Here comes the next surge of Saharan Dust. You'll notice hazy skies developing through the day. Those sensitive to some of the dust that settles will see allergy symptoms ramp up :(

@TraeK_ I was really rooting for Carter in LV
May was amazing. LV looked like the best fit for Carter
But the goal is for the team to win
Us on the outside can't act like we know all, or more than LV
If Carter truly thought she'd start over Gray or Jackie then she lacks basketball IQ
English
@ButlerinAustin Context. First month of the season she had the highest net rating on the team by far.
The story is dealt with illness and injury the last month.. So the idea here is that the alleged hurt/sick version of her erases what the alleged healthy version of her showed? Interesting

I will not be sold that Chennedy was cut because of her defense. Especially not when that team has employed K. Bell for years.

“I don’t think people understand.” Chennedy Carter went from big WNBA dreams to parting ways with her fourth team. How did her new beginning as a 6POY lock with the Las Vegas Aces end with her being waived? My story on her 12 weeks with the champs ⬇️ usatoday.com/story/sports/w…
English
@TraeK_ Agree on the first thing
I didn't say of that in the second part. Becky talked about Chennedy in most PCs. Becky/LV was obviously working with her through the illness & injury. T-Spoon got through to Carter in CHI, which led Carter to sign w/LV bc of Spoon & Becky's relationship
English
@ddubxdo And she hasn't got buckets since May. She was great in May, but unfortunately not since then.
Also, her role is not solely to get buckets. Especially if playing on the Aces or any contender.
It simply not going to work for ANY player if they only care about 25-50% of the game.
English
Anybody that watches chennedy knows she’s not the best defender. Shes always been a defensive liability.
She gets buckets. That’s her role

Most likely bc Carter has really hurt the team while on the court since May (pic). 128.2 DEF rtg -22.4 NET rtg Becky has talked about wanting Carter. It started well, but clearly deteriorated over time. Last time Carter fit w/ a team was w/T-Spoon (Becky's vet & close friend).

@MaxAdamFF @fball_insights Thanks for pulling the data. Great list
English
Puka 3.16
Jefferson 2.61
AJB 2.57
Kittle 2.45
OBJ 2.44
DT 2.43
Gronk 2.38
MT 2.35
Tyreek 2.34
Deebo 2.34
Nico 2.33
AB 2.33
Chase and ARSB were 2.21 and 2.24 respectively.
Rashee Rice is at 2.29 with 898 career routes he's prob on here with no injuries/off field. Could get there with a massive season too.

In case you're actually interested @Kirkevans0
I was really rooting for Carter in LV. Becky (T-Spoon in CHI) worked hard to make it work w/her. May was amazing.
LV looked like the best fit for Carter. But the goal is for the team to win. Way more to ball than individual scoring

Chennedy Carter is third in the league in points per minute, with the best TS% in the league. She is having one of, if not the best per minute scoring season in WNBA HISTORY. She got cut, thats how much teams hate her. I have yet to see one story about wtf she does thats so bad.
English
@stevejones20 And then the "exactly 90 minutes before tip" new knee injury update out of nowhere saying Diggins is out.
Looks like it worked for a night in Phoenix but there's still a long way to go.
And thanks. But thank y'all for the work you do. Always top tier talk about ball!

New @dunkerspotpod with @NekiasNBA
-Have we seen what Paige Bueckers is doing?
-Chicago has pointed to the Sky again
-The Race for the 8 Seed is heating up
English
@stevejones20 After digging into the data and rotations/lineups, I wouldn't be surprised if Sloot and Cloud are inserted into the starting lineup for Diggins and Jaquez.

Five years after her speech at the ESPYs where she advocated for more coverage of Black women, Paige Bueckers says the problem persists.
"That's a fight that we fight every single day. A fight for equal coverage, a fight for equality in general."

@raya4 Agree, with a healthy Phee right there. Her '24 and '25 seasons put her in their company.
And vaulted her over AT, who had been the closest player to the A'ja & Stewie tier prior to Phee's continued growth.
English
it’d be irresponsible for *me* to speculate beyond the court atm … but with her talent level, ideally I wouldn’t have effort/prep things to point to
Future Of The Retro@TraeK_
We saying this was purely about on court performance? If so I would have a million more questions with KB still being on that roster
