Zero use for MAGA grandstanders
But
Impossible to ignore the calendar
With just 7 days until this Trainwreck of a Commissioner has to respond to Congress, suddenly W refs call a fair game
Not a coincidence
A Tipping Point
A demarcation line in the history of the WNBA
The Reign of Error of Cathy Engelbert is over...

@cc22hawkeye Nice, but when you do this throw many stats pts, assists, stls, blks, it really meaningless. CC happen to get 45/10/4/2. But maybe some others did 45/10/2/4 - 4 blocks instead of steals. Or maybe there are some that did 34/15/4/5.

Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello apologized to Angel Reese after using what could be interpreted as a derogatory phrase during their game against the Atlanta Dream on Friday.

@kennethuyabeme @espnW no, you don't apologize to racist scum like Reece. Much of fanbase are racist too.
English

@espnW This was a massive misunderstanding, I applaud coach Brondello for apologizing but this has blown out of proportion. the phrase "protected species" means refs are making calls in your favour. Hear it all the time in European football, "goalkeepers are a protected species".
English

@WealthFirst1 @espnW Yes, Reece and much of her fanbase are all anti-white racist. I wouldn't say all her fanbase, but a large portion. Also, very stupid. Why do they claim they have black friends?
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ KM streaky too. I think that's the team and scheme. Both high volume and create their own 3s a lot and often contested. I think Fever trying to give both more off screen catch and shoot.
English

@Russell318713 @JonnyRoot_ She’s exciting as all hell but so was Jason Williams. That’s not what we should get from CC, she should be more like AI. 3.5 is not bad but 5 is a problem. She’s also a streaky shooter, can’t have both and win. Maybe you are ok with her being an exciting loser.
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ She's played 74 games total. Very early in career. But I still disagree on TOs. Low TOs hurt more with lost opportunities than the TOs themselves.
Some people agree with you, like SW - want <4. She is at 4.5 this year btw. But I think 5 or 6 is fine and 4.5 border too low.
English

@Russell318713 @JonnyRoot_ I want to be clear, these things im saying is what’s keeping her away from all time greatness. I think shes capable now of playing good defense.This roughness thing happens to all the players and Europe is even more physical. It sounds like they want favorable treatment 4 C only.
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ Dončić 21-22 and 23-24 seasons good record and good in playoffs. Westbrook in OKC and Harden in Houston good teams.
English

@Russell318713 @JonnyRoot_ Two thing can be true, all these records are great. She’s a high volume player. Shes more james and less curry both are great but curry is all time great. NO ONE has ever been a winner averaging 5 TO a game. To say my post is dumb is dumb, you don’t know what u r talking about.
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ no, not calling anyone stupid but just some posts.
English

@Russell318713 @JonnyRoot_ You are not making logical sense my guy and yet want to call someone stupid. Your points are delusionally driven. 60% shooting is great always and 5 TO is a problem always. When you are as skilled as CC you can still win games but not championships.
English

@SBrondello Holy crap! I can't believe this! There is no reason for an apology. AR is a scumbag to make a deal about this.
English

@power_ties There could be many factors. Price. Novelty worn off. SW's coaching. Sometimes games ugly to watch. Many people maybe just wanted to see CC play one time - maybe traveled long distance and only planed to go once.
English

@Number_Six___ @CathyEngelbert This is ridiculous. This shows what a scum AR is.
English

If the WNBA had any guts, they would suspend Angel Reese for this stunt. She has a history of making false accusations. If she's allowed to wrongly tear good people down, her outrageous behavior will continue. You're getting fired soon anyway. Do the right thing. @CathyEngelbert

English

Too late. She tweeted to everyone implying you’re a racist clown.

Sandy Brondello apologizes to Angel Reese and the Dream after calling Reese a "protected species" during Friday night's game.
English

@ill_name_this_x Holy shit, Ill! Do you really want to live in a world were we never say anything to offend anyone? I feel offended by your ridiculous post saying we got to worry about saying something that offends. You many be offended by what Robin or I say too.
English

For context, Robin is one of the reasons I make content today, so this isn’t personal.
But why is it unreasonable for Angel to be offended? And put her on the jumbo
If you refer to someone by something other than their name, regardless of your intent, don’t they have the right to decide whether it bothered them?
If I told Robin he “needs sunscreen,” that phrase might be harmless where I’m from, but in his world it could carry a completely different meaning.
My intent wouldn’t change how he received it. If he felt disrespected, I’d have to own that. We don’t get to decide how someone else interprets our words when we could simple just call them by name

English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ Durability? That's an issue with lots of players. Injuries are part of the game, but the league and refs should do better unnecessary roughness and protect the players.
English

@Russell318713 @JonnyRoot_ Who averages 5 TO a game in their career other than CC, I’ll educate you. This is a rhetorical question but please don’t assume what others know and don’t know. A lot of assist leaders also lead in turnovers too, tell me something I don’t know. But 5 is a problem
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ Stats need to be looked at in context. There is no magic # or threshold. One player this year averages 3.5 TOs - 3rd in the league. She averages only 2.5 assists. Career 3.1 TOs, 2.6 assists. That may be problem, but you can't decide that just by the stats. need deeper anal
English

@vondel21 @JonnyRoot_ Back to CC in particular. There are lots of other stuff you are missing or leaving out with your "being objective". You mentioned CC's career. She has played in 74 total games in her career. 40 of those her rookie year. So she hasn't even played a full post-rookie season.
