A 13.5-11.4-5.8 makes her one of the best forwards in the league. Her 8 defensive rebounds a game makes up for the lack of steals/blocks imo. If she can keep up this pace, she deserves to be in the MVP conversation.
Jessica Shepard is the most important player on the Dallas Wings right now. If Shepard was out, I don’t know if we’d win multiple games. PB5 is the heart beat of the team but Fudd/Arike/Zaza/Sims are all good enough to do something sometimes.
@DeanMackeyX CC has grown as a player in the dub because she’s learned to play defense… she’s drawing so many foul calls this season because she’s actually playing defense and being aggressive.
Also if you think that CC is being discriminated against because of her skin color, you’re 💩 😂
Caitlin Clark is a solid defender, but the media will tell you otherwise. They tell you she’s not very good at defense for one reason her skin color. It’s sloppy, lazy and stereotypical.
@thenebean9@sapsrose I think you’re classifying me with the wrong people. I do not think that Olivia Miles should have been drafted to the Wings. I think that Azzi 100% deserved to go #1 to the Wings. I’ve been following Bueckers/Fudd for many years and I love them a lot.
so olivia is doing good enough to be in the mvp convos yet paige isn’t scoring enough to be in the convos? yet paige’s ppg is higher than olivia’s??? and they’re both averaging 6 asts per game
@shulkjowhit@YAmpofowaa That’s my point though, people shouldn’t have to seek it. At least not information on stat leaders. The conversation needs to focus more on the actual games not just who is popular.
@imnotthiscool@YAmpofowaa Consume better media! Noa Dalzell did an early mvp ladder where she talks about these players. Meghan Hall just wrote a great feature on Aneesah. The content is there for those who seek it
I think one of the issues causing a lot of unnecessary discourses and stan wars on the WNBA twitter has been WNBA Media and the narratives they perpetuate, how they report things and how they VOTE for season awards! Fans of players then take it to the extreme, sometimes thinking
@CoachMarcusMTXE@UnderdogWNBA@TheCoachMelissa I love that expansion teams are successful. It’s proof that we need more teams because there are plenty of talented players not getting playing time or spots!!!
Jose Fernandez after the Wings' fourth-straight win:
"I don’t think anybody in the country thought we would be 7-3 right now. But I can tell you everyone in the locker room did, my staff did, and I did."

@Answer_Me_Bitch@Hoopss The problem is literally that it took people 28 seasons to watch the league… why? They only want to watch a “skinny straight white chick” its not a league isusue, its a sports fan suck issue 😂
@Hoopss cuz depressed black lesbians control the online narrative that trickles into real life.. Its pretty simple, its a political activist league and they seething a skinny straight white chick is the first to do a million+ on TV every night.
It’s strange how Caitlin Clark seems to be judged differently than almost anyone else. If an NBA star like Jalen Brunson shoots 19 for 56 and 4 for 17 from three in the Finals, people talk about it, but it usually stays a basketball discussion.
She receives a level of scrutiny and criticism that feels disproportionate, especially considering she’s only in her second WNBA season.
@YAmpofowaa People gotta stop focusing on the fan favorite players and talk about the players who are playing the best. I wanna hear more about Plum and A’ja and Johannes and Morrow. There are so many players that are being overshadowed but they’re balling out and deserve to be talked about
@YAmpofowaa I’m tired of only hearing about CC, PB5, Olivia Miles and Azzi… Jessica Shepard is the best player on the Wings rn, KM is just as important as CC to IND, Miles is a dawg and deserves her flowers but she is like everyone’s free pass
@promo2fly Miles is gonna be better than CC and PB5 combined at this rate. She’s got one of the best coaches buying into her and that believes in her undoubtedly. Her ceiling is higher than both of them because of that imo.
i love the way they pretend Caitlin Clark’s historic rookie season didn’t happen, but when another incredible guard like Paige or Olivia Miles joins one of her records they start glazing them with “better than CC”.
i thought that record didn’t mean anything? bitter fools. 😂
Only 1 player in the ENTIRE WNBA is leading their team in points and assists with winning record.
- Paige Bueckers
With the Wings currently number 2 in the standings, it’s safe to say Paige Bueckers is an MVP frontrunner.
@MetalBlakedowns I don’t like being told what to do at an event I am paying $100+ to be there. I go to live events often and I spend 30+ minutes a week in my camera roll happily reliving the experience.
I don’t get why it’s so serious to artists, I feel like there are deeper problems.
the no-phone concert is this weekends discourse
It’s such a non-issue. You can check your phone between sets, you get exceptions for medical reasons, if it’s seated finding friends isn’t an issue
people just throwing hissy fits cause they don’t like being told what to do lol
you guys failed this hit.
this should've been her next good 4 u but y'all are giving it the bad idea right treatment.
it's should be doing 10m daily...
