recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Yes they played each other much earlier in the season, but having just handled A'ja and arguably the best backcourt in the W, I believe they'll be up to the challenge. I just don't believe Jordin will shoot 62% from the floor again. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I would say it should be a close series but the entire playoffs have been one big not close at all (save for Fever vs Aces). So I won't say it will be close. 010 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I think the Valks have it. I know ATL has the vibes etc but Valks gave up 9 fewer PPG in the regular season, they just shut down the league MVP and they are 3-0 ATL. Defence wins championships and Valks are the best at it. Scoring may be their issue if they do lose 200 0

recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 07/10/2026could be, having that much media focus can be a grind for anyone. 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 07/10/2026CC needs to quit it with the turnovers. There are a ton of lazy and unnecessary passes that go into opponents hands. The whining about calls has to stop too. But sometimes she has a point. The refs let so much go. 120 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I have seen so many times in many sports, player is good but not the focus of the media, wants a different location to be the main star and then it almost never works out as planned. The walk away from a good thing and it flops. Fever need a better roster, their F production was terrible. 210 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It might just be you, KM lead the lead in scoring how many more shots does she need? 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Took this team to the semi-finals.. aka won one series and fails to mention both last year and this year they lost to the Aces... like their is a lot of bias in her commentary too. KM's efficiency has increased since playing with CC, anyone who watches can see they work well together 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I would agree, it was loosely tied to Watchmen, but it was a good story too. Just could have called it something else. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Good actors and great writing is all that is needed. Lanterns gave us both. I would say the Watchmen tv series was superb too 160 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Also, KM is a star player and I think her and CC make an amazing backcourt. She's a huge reason why they were the highest scoring team in the W. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The only fanbase that has amazing support is the team that is winning the title especially right after the win. Any team with a downturn in winning experiences negativity. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I mean ever fan base has a player they dump on. A LOT of Celtics fans hated Jaylen Brown and thought he was a detriment to the team a few years ago and that he was hurting Tatum. There are bad fans of every team in every sport. It's not nice, it shouldn't happen but this is not just the Fever. 200 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The view from the baseline really shows it IMO but even from the front it's Turner who bends and hooks. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I disagree with this one. Ignore the audio on this (severe bias) but watch. Lexie puts her arm out across the chest, common play, play I've done to dissuade entry pass.Turner hooked the arm on this play. She is at fault IMO, I watched it several times. www.youtube.com/shorts/bVicl...youtube.comNo CALL AFTER HULL THROWN DOWN #caitlinclark #wnba #shortsYouTube video by ESPBEN 200 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The WNBA should get rid of some of the more aggressive physicality, this isn't rugby. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026IMO that an issue with the league, they let them play 90's NBA style and it punishes skilled players and rewards physical players who couldn't guard the skilled players if it was like current NBA. The NHL clamped down on all the clutching and grabbing and the game flows better 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026aka a typical reffed game in the W. I mean every league complains about reffing but to me the stuff they let go is going to get more and more players hurt. ie Lexie Hull getting dragged the the ground and then being accessed a foul... good golly. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also you have to double A'ja, no one player can defend her straight up. Maybe for a possession here or there but in a series, she's going for 30 each night 1 on 1. That said, I don't regard AB as a great defender at all. 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm torn for tonight. I want to root for the upset and have the lower seed win, but the Valks are early 00's Pistons, no superstars just very good players playing as a team. Both are worth rooting for. PB needs to be more engaged. She was far far too passive last game. She's too good to coast. 010 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Good defence, better offence. Gray isn't bother by tight defence. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ratings will tell I guess. There should be some dip because of the 4 teams eliminated will cause fan disinterest, but will it be minimal or huge? If it's huge it is the CC affect. It will be interesting to find out. 010 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think this has a lot to do with the Valk system. It fits Kiah's play style but they are by far the lowest scoring playoff team, while the Fever lead the league in scoring. The frontcourt of Indy is a weakness plain and simple. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Unless those who follow CC have started following the entire W and have found other great players to watch. CC is not the only player worth watching. 210 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Only a fool would deny that. She is the biggest draw in the W and has increased interest across the entire league. Denying that is asinine. Doesn't make her the best player either but nothing wrong with that. 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Then they're not fans of the sport just a player or team. I have my fav team in the leagues I follow but when they are no longer in the playoffs I continue to watch/follow the outcomes because I love the sport. 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think CC is an exceptional player and if she stops with the careless TO's (possible) and stop the theatrics with the refs over calls (unlikely) She's a legit MVP candidate in the near future. 020 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026and far too many people turn the fans obnoxious behavior into hate for CC. I get it, I didn't have a disdain for the Portland Trailblazers until I encountered their fanbase on a basketball discussion forms back in the day. 020 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think the frontcourt scoring 4 points total had a bigger impact on the outcome for Indy. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A'ja is almost always playing exceptional so it's a given. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026We're talking about CC not Paige who simply disappeared last game. I don't know what game you were watching but CC was playing hard all night. Shot didn't drop after a hot start but she was involved. KM had a off night too. So did Jewell. Only G that was great was Gray and that was the difference. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The refs in the league are bad all around. CC's bloody tooth was from an inadvertent blow fighting for a rebound. It happens. It was nothing intentional or malicious. The reply clearly showed this. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Really it's just a matter of years played before she is the Goat. Not top ten in anything right now all time but that's games played. She will walk away from the the game as the Goat no doubt. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You can't contribute 0 points and be a starter. 4 points from your front court will never be enough to win consistently. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think her defence is average. She has great steals and gets some blocks. It's not like she's James Harden, I think she lacks in lateral quickness though. She's a better North/South runner. That's why she looks so good in the open court. 180 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026IMO it goes both ways. Too many people over value her and too many people want to give her zero credit. She's an amazing player but flawed. She needs to shore up the turnovers and the theatrics on the court. Then again there's 20 other players who could cut out the antics on the court to. 010 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026she came back didn't she? You think she wanted to avoid the end of the game? 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There's only one other person on that tier with A'ja and Stewie is #2 not 1b to A'ja. Everyone else is at a lower tier. No shame in losing to the best in the W. 1130 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026yes to stop the bleeding to get back out there. what's wrong with that? It was probably the trainer who had something to help stop it. 100 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Marginal does not create blood. It was a hard blow but all in the motion of coming down from a rebound attempt. Nothing malicious about the play just bad luck and it probably hurt a lot. 010 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026maybe the hand touched on the follow through, hard to see. 000 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I still don't get how that little body contact was a foul though. With all the physicality they let go, that was minor and part of the post game. A'ja initiated the contact too. Should be a no call. 200 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026fill me in, seems like a lot of ppl have a dislike for her, I missed the memo. 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That's the kind of call the refs need to get right. Can't allow those cheap theatrics to get you the call. 011 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'll say it again.. DANGIT. Better team won tonight. Fever cannot continue to accept 4 points from their front court. Hull is a bench player no matter how good her defence is (and it's good not great). KM and CC had bad nights, hard to win when both struggle. Lloyd was off, but Gray was on, Aces Win 110 0
recentlyreaped.bsky.social @recentlyreaped.bsky.social · 02/10/2026These announcers... "if she sets her feet, that's an offensive foul" no it's not, she's in the circle... it will always be a def foul.... good golly 010 0
