    I would actually think it would be easier for women to put the ball through the hoop since the basketball is smaller. But basebal21 has told me the opposing team keeps putting this woman in the game to guard Clark and she’s a really tough defender.

    Basebal21 also left out she sucks on defense and she keeps her teammates hanging when they try to high five her because of her ongoing surly demeanor. One thing she does really well is whine and argue with refs and her coaches.
    The internet keeps using words like spoiled and entitled to describe her on court behavior.

    Her hype somewhat resembles Michelle Wie in the LPGA. Promoted by Nike. She faded.

    Wie also tried to play against men which every one knew wasnt going to go well. Lots of injuries then started a family. Winning 5 tournaments and a major championship. After the PGA thing people were kind of over it. Its not a bad comparison injury wise and given they both had unrealistic expectations. Both were/are very good players at the very least

    Fire AJ Preller

    One second left in the game last night, Fever down by 1 point, and Caitlin buries a 3 pointer from 30 feet. Nothing but net.

    Based upon what I've seen, her head coach & some teammates (and above) do not have her back.

    WNBA is a woke organization.

    I would fire their coach ASAP.

    That said, it's still early in the season. Have you seen how good Olivia Miles is for the Lynx? Whoa!

    Enjoy your collection!

    Caitlin who?

    I'm much more interested in the cute Russian who just won the French Open a few days ago.

    2025 SEC bowl record 4-10

    SEC bowl record vs BIG TEN last two years 2-8

    Bummer. One of her dislikes is losers.
