wnba recap 8/23
EXCELLENT night of hoops to cover tn 😮‍💨 i’m so ready y’all
las vegas aces vs minnesota lynx
we got to see this matchup again and i gotta say it feels like 2017 the way the lynx are so dominant rn. the fact that the aces are losing to them not once, but TWICE in a ROW… man. MAN.
a’ja was a little off her game - i rarely see her w out a double and shooting under 50%. problem with a’ja being off her game is it doesn’t feel like the rest of the starting five is stepping up. nobody even broke 15 points y’all like… this the back to back champs??? shitttt
like this is a team that is not taking care of the ball on either end of the floor. every single one of the starters turned the ball over at least 3 times except alysha, their efficiency was fine but come on. it’s the ACES. i’ve seen it way better, and considering this is a team they just LOST to??? obv we’re not even worried about playoff berth here - but damn! that should be an ego hit at the very least!
i just wanna talk about napheesa collier for a second. phee needs to be in more mvp convos. like in my head rn, the mvp ranking goes a’ja, phee, stewie. i don’t think that’s anything crazy, and obv i got AT up there, too.
look at what phee did tonight y’all!!!! i mean this shit is WILD: 27 points, 18 REBOUNDS??? ONE EIGHT?? EIGHTFUCKINGTEEN??? on 73% SHOOTING???? 50% from three y’all and 5 dimes and a couple steals like. that’s an insane stat line bro. it’s fucking NUTS. WHY are we not TALKING ABOUT PHEE??? maybe we are and i’m just not seeing it but… phee, man.
lord look at that husky
atlanta dream vs phoenix mercury
i cannot wait until the atlanta dream aren’t playing anymore bc i actually cannot stand watching them play. i got my stanny loyalties but haley jones is so painfully mediocre rn so i’m really just gonna leave it.
diana lorena taurasi a 360 pass is stupid. it’s STUPID. oh my god that shit is so dee i love it.
los angeles sparks vs washington mystics
hellooooo bueckers bowl!! paige watching this game, biting her fingernails, knowing she’s going to whichever team loses… man i love the w 💀💀💀
battle of the shitty franchises i fucking GUESS like… anyway slim had a gameeee (28 points), kira w a nice double double (14/11), ariel atkins with 15 too (you know i had to get my longhorn in there)
you know what LA’s fuckin problem is??? imma tell you what LA’s fuckin problem is. DOGSHIT efficiency. and y’all are like… yeah, no shit. but like ACTUALLY consider how ridiculous this is: they play a four-forward lineup and not ONE of their bigs breaches 50% fgp except rickea this game. WHAT the FUCK.
especially with THIS lineup?? clock the mismatch!!! you’re gonna have smaller guys on you - there is literally NO REASON they should be out scoring y’all in the paint.
OH MY GOD A1 FUCKIN TANK JOB LIKE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
chicago sky vs connecticut sun
clock how close this was y’all: 82-80 sun win.
then clock that marina mabrey got 24 tn to get the W over her old team.
you can’t even script this shit bro it’s just too good 😭😭😭
man just one more board for AT for the triple: 12/9/11 like she really like that bro.
speaking of stats… how angel reese had 20 BOARDS?? just wiping down that glass tonight HOLY SHIT
yeah this should’ve been an easier win. every day i wonder how the FUCK chicago could’ve given up marina and why the FUCK they did when somebody got their pick anyway… jesus christ y’all
anyway… excited for the rest of the season and the postseason. college football coming up, i won’t yap about it but i’ll be internally insufferable about being in the sec now 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 have a blessed night y’all

wnba recap 7/6
y’all know what today was
minnesota lynx vs. washington mystics
julie vanloo you have to be absolutely shitting me
25 minutes. 0-9. 0 points. but 4 personal fouls.
KILLIAN HAYES WHO BRO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK 😭😭😭😭 Y’ALL EMPLOY THIS WOMAN?? AND NOT CHRISTYN WILLIAMS?? NOT EVINA WESTBROOK??? FUCKKKKK OUTTA HERE
li don’t foul challenge 😭 but we got 10 on 4-6 so it’s chill!!!
minnesota you should NEVER have let them cut it this close. oof i’m worried ab phee. YESSS DORKA give us nothing but boards!!! oh diamond’s back. has she been back?
mid game overall. not too awful, not too good team efficiency wise either. minnesota out rebounded, at least significantly on the offensive end. had better defense, quicker offense (but just barely). meh. glad i missed it.
indiana fever vs. new york liberty
ok ik this is what we’re actually here for.
think some chick named caitlin clark did sum this game not sure.
okay that’s all! thank you!
nah i’m playing but caitlin clark with the first rookie triple double in wnba history. 19 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds - i think she’s BACK Y’ALLLL
as much as y’all know how i… don’t necessarily vibe w cc, it’s good to see her getting her legs under her in the league and performing at the level i know she can. if she’s gonna win that roty award, i want her to deserve it. and the game today tied her w angel for roty in my head tbh.
BYE BYE CRUSTY WALLASS LMAO ‼️ man i hate her HOLY FUCK I HAAAAAATE HER
breanna stewart dude what the fuck. sab 22 on absolutely DOGSHIT efficiency maybe her and caitlin ARE twins. betnijah played well tho.
i can’t believe i’m saying this - the fever just outperformed the liberty tn. better efficiency, especially from 3 (fewer shots, prolly SMARTER shots), better ft shooting, grabbed more boards, scored more in the paint.
the fever played WELL tn bro… might be more shocking than caitlin’s triple double if the two weren’t obviously inherently linked

phoenix mercury vs. chicago sky
it’s always some shit with that chennedy carter huh?? LORD 💀💀💀 lemme not speak on it too much but sometimes we don’t need to be yapping on the internet!! sometimes we js needa hoop!! and that’s okay 😭😭😭
double double miss angel reese thank you! also side note: those 2k scores… y’all just lazy!! come on caitlin clark and angel reese cannot BOTH be a 90. THREE rookies cannot be tied at an 80 y’all need to start being fr oh my LORD!! i am TIRED!!! put in the work when you speak on women’s sports or don’t speak on them at ALL!!!
ANYWAY
4-19 from 3… 🤨🤨🤨 aight bro if you say so
fuckin crazy work from 3 tonight man EVERYBODY get back in the gym maybe tupac not back 😭
NVM KAH 30 PIECEEEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️ THAT’S 29 FROM KAHLEAH COPPER ICE PHILLY THANKKKKK YOU
real talk the mercury absolutely dominated on efficiency here; both fgp and 3pfg above 50%, taking smart shots, moving the ball assisting on 26 of 33 shots - merc look good y’all i can’t lie 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
welcome back to our olympians of course: dee, bg, kah - we missed youuu 🤭
new york liberty vs los angeles sparks
y’all need to be so for real.

also when tf did crystal sign to the sparks bro what… always some shit going on w this team bruh stfg
point here is the liberty dominated in every possible aspect of the game - they shot smarter, shot better, rebounded more off the defensive glass, protected the ball, forced more turnovers, pushed the pace, destroyed in the paint, didn’t let the sparks pick up a lead even ONCE
complete game from the liberty tonight - this was a playoff performance
stewie heard some mfker talking crazy on her name ig
i mean this is just complete domination like… i’d be embarrassed
anyway more to come 🙏🏽 thank y’all for tuning in imma call it a night

wnba recap 7/7
moment of silence for how good paige madison looked at that storm game bc ever since i seen that tennis chain i’ve been acting stupid
okay now time to lock in
atlanta dream vs connecticut sun
um exactly the outcome that is expected. didn’t even let them SNIFF a lead damn 😭 smoking them the whole game 💀
that being said - haley jones girl. 21 mins for 5 points and 3 pfs. baby. what would tara say??
bench production was okay. HENNY MINUTES don’t y’all dare play with her please bro 🙏🏽
omg db was ridiculously efficient btw. 7-11 fgp and 7-9 3pfg DAMNNNNN GIRL
also shoutout at for a slight little triple flirt - 7 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds. LIV minutes bro 2-9 from the field is crazy liv bro please 😭😭 you too nai bro what the fuck is going on in connecticut
anyway uhhh good win! could’ve been better!
dallas wings vs. las vegas aces
aight we got a repeat of last year’s playoffs and it ended very similarly to last year’s playoffs! which is to say dallas got blown the fuck out.
this team is frustrating to watch. their post work is sloppy, and it’s clear that rike is overcompensating and chucking shots up MORE to make up for the fact that sa is out and maddy siegrist is out too.
that being said, natasha howard had a great game, and rike shot 4-11. lord i can’t do this anymore 💀
every single one of the vegas starters with a ridiculous +/- btw. +21, +26, +27, +22, +19 like hate the game not the player bc that’s a fun ass team to watch icl to y’all.
i only watched part of this game, and it was the part where dallas actually had the lead?? tf?? but then a’ja dropped a 28 point double on their heads and shit was wraps obviously. she also hit 3 three’s btw. if anyone was wondering. and she was 3-4. light work i guess 💀
good game kate martin - if anyone knows what that tech was for pls lmk!
chicago sky vs. seattle storm
LOLLLL admins were being sooooo messy about this 😭 “emphasis on you THOUGHT” good fucking bye
is it really a sky game if angel reese doesn’t get her double double??
yesss dana evans and diamond deshields give us nothingggg yesss!!!!
a double double for nneka, double double for ezi, and no minutes for nika muhl! none for nika muhl!
i kick my feet at everything jewell loyd does i love her so bad i could just faint but JORDAN HORSTON. call urself a lady vol one more time. 33 minutes without a single field goal made is ridiculous. do better.
phoenix mercury vs. los angeles sparks
TASH. CLOUD. 30 PIEEEEEEEECEEEE ‼️
KAHLEAH. COPPER. 25 PT DOUBLEEEEE ‼️
yeah nuff said about this game they were supposed to win (good game dearica) and they won does anyone know where dee went tho

wnba recap 6/25
hello everyone welcome back! today we’ll be covering the commissioner’s cup championship game in which the new york liberty notably and conveniently forgot that they do, in fact, Employ Breanna Stewart.
what the fuck guys. like much love that phee and dorka won but are you fucking serious.
stewie double double, sabrina double double, the rest of the team learn the fucking heimlich in case jj chokes like this again. 34 minutes on the floor. for 3. fucking. POINTS??? does this look like the nba to you motherfuckers???? good LORD bro
phee… beautiful. stunning. 100% from 3. love you. kayla mcbride 😃😃😃 what the fuck dude. how are you 3-13. yeah you and jj go sit in the can’t make a fucking bucket corner.
i only watched a little bit of this game but it actually enraged me. efficiency wise, both teams were fine. minnesota was great from 3, and made 14 of their 14 fts.
they also played better defense (12 steals) and turned the ball over less despite playing much faster game on the offensive end. yeah new york needs to get their shit together, and idk if the game was different watching it, but box makes them look fucking awful

wnba highlights 8/17-8/18
okay so i’ve been out of it these past couple days so i’m just gonna give y’all the big games and moments and important shit
but please send in asks if i missed a game you wanted to see me cover, i’ll try to get to it 🤞🏽
new york liberty vs las vegas aces - 8/17
starting off strong with this 2023 finals rematch - LAWDDDD a’ja wilson you are a badddd woman. 24 points, 11 boards, but still could not walk away with the win.
that being said, the aces played like shit for being the aces. 37% from the field, 29% from 3 - what are we DOING bro. this is CRAZY!!!!!
i mean jackie young 1-8?? what the FUCK????
chelsea in double digits for points is a shock to me lately, but we’re here, so!!
not that the liberty as a whole played much better tho - slightly better fgp and slightly worse 3pfg BRO??? is THIS WHO WE ARE??
lord help me why is sabrina ionescu putting up 21 shots and only getting 23 points off of it. and 2 of those points were actually free throws so she got 21 on 21.
someone explain that shit to me. that math ain’t mathing.
jj with 17 REBOUNDS??? HELLO??? WHAT IN THE STAT PAD?? IS YOUR FGP THIS LOW FOR THAT PURPOSE??? fucking HELPPPP
y’all disappoint me. NEXT.
las vegas aces vs los angeles sparks
yeah i’m not here to speak on the game for this one. it was a slaughter from an efficiency perspective, i’ll say that.
i like watching the aces. they’re an entertaining team, and i feel bad from a basketball perspective that they had such a shitty start to the season.
but for aces fans to boo dearica in FRONT OF HER DAUGHTER - to act as though becky hammon is getting unfairly cancelled rather than acting as tho she committed a FEDERAL OFFENSE, which she DID…
fuckin crazy bro. you’re full of shit.
chicago sky vs phoenix mercury
the dee and angel hug at the end was everything. EVERYTHING.
but in case y’all missed the typa timing the chi town barbie been on: 19 points, 20 boards, on 8-16. play. with. ya mama.
they still lost tho don’t get me wrong, but the merc needed this after that fever loss bc bitch what the fuck.
y’all want me to be impresser that sofeet cuntingham got her first double double..? that ho been in the league for fucking ever gtfoh bro maga ass…
monique billings on a roster thank fucking god because i was boutta throw hands
anyway dee still got it like that… y’all don’t stress 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
seattle storm vs indiana fever
caitlin clark you are… something. telling the opposing bench to “stop crying” and then giggling right after is absolutely insane work. i might genuinely be terrified of that girl.
sds i love you bro if you wanna shoulder check that ho do it in game too. ain’t a damn thing. you do you baby.
aight real show of the night: LEXIE. MFKING. HULL.
don’t y’all EVER disrespect one of tara’s girls like that again. NEEEEVER. 22 points on 80%??? DO Y’ALL KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS??
i will say the fever played exceptionally last night (except kls, and imma ride for a husky always… but she should lowk not be starting): 3 guys over 20, 46 fgp, 3pfg at 48 so HIGHER than fgp?? some steph curry shit right there.
meanwhile in seattle, we don’t even breach 40. it’s getting to the point where i’m surprised that seattle loses a game, because what?? can someone HELP JEWELL BRO?? LORD!!! you just lost to a team that might have a lottery pick!!!
GET IT THE FUCK TOGETHER!!!

wnba recap 8/16
i didn’t get to watch a game last night bc i was watching paige and flau’jae coach high schoolers into turnovers but i got box!!! so here we go
seattle storm vs atlanta dream
i was surprised that atlanta squeaked this win out bc seattle actually is (dare i say it) a good team
but when rhyne howard drops 30 on y’all heads 😭😭😭 not much you can do i guess 😭😭😭 man i really forget jordin canada plays for atlanta now, but really solid contribution from that starting five
nobody was like exponentially ass this game either like… sure naz only got 6 points, but 13 boards makes up for it. ezi only scores 6 but gets 7 boards
except jordan… maybe jordan was ass
sds back 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 i misseddd herrr 🥰 GIMME 29 🗣️🗣️🗣️
29 for skylar, 21 for jewell, 16 for nneka, and NONE FOR NIKA MUHL
i am in pain.
dallas wings vs connecticut sun
nobody can save dallas atp. not even satou. lord what the fuck is THIS 😃😃😃😃
satou had 20/7/8 😃😃😃 rike shot 50% 😃😃😃 y’all cannot STILL BE LOSING
i get that it’s connecticut but like y’all NEED TO QUIT TANKING. NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE Y’ALL. YOU NEED TO SAVE YOURSELVES.
okay celeste! give us nothing! (2 points)
at with a triple flirt? we love to see it. plus marina with 17 in her debut game??? let’s see how you play with nai on the floor tho 😭😭 i’m playing but fr someone investigate that
YES LIV 4-5 I LOVE YOU BABY YOU’RE DOING SO GOOD
yeah connecticut’s the best team in the league, and i say that because i hate watching the liberty
phoenix mercury vs indiana fever
bro caitlin clark is an insane individual. there is no other way to put it.
what do you fucking mean it’s your first game back and you put up 29/5/10??? on 50% shooting??? who ARE YOU???
and kelsey mitchell with 28?? lyss with a near double??? man y’all make me look GOOFY bc just two days ago i was talking about how good the merc look
dee bro… get another tech. nah go ahead get another fucking tech 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 PLEASE GO A MOTHERFUCKING HEAD AND GET ANOTHER TECH SO HELP ME GOD

wnba recap 6/18
phoenix mercury vs new york liberty
damn y’all the mercury look goodddd. i caught most of this game and the fact that they’ve beat both the liberty and the aces already is really saying something. bg gets the lay for the dagger at the end and seals it with the free throws - just really, REALLY beautiful. phoenix was just hot from 3 tbh, but i didn’t see a huge defensive showing from either team. it’s the reg season tho so we’ll see.
i don’t think i’ve talked yet about just how stacked this phoenix roster is lowk - dee, bg, kah, tash, bec allen, soph off the BENCH like… damn. i’d be worried about phoenix this year. solid showing from everyone, too.
the liberty on the other hand… i really just like… cannot bring myself to like this fucking team bro i’m sorry. no idea why sloot didn’t play, but stewie had an incredible game. 28 points, 10-15 fgp, and fucking 100% from 3. holy fuck bro. plus 4 rebounds and 5 assists i mean…
god i wish stewie was still with seattle 😭
los angeles sparks vs connecticut sun
first off, thoughts and prayers with cam brink. will be monitoring twitter and keeping y’all updated.
i mean we know the sun is the team to beat this year. great team chemistry, excellent pieces, phenomenal defensive effort from AT and nai… i already have them winning it all and i don’t think that’s a hot take.
the sparks are obviously struggling quite a bit. 4-11 to start the season, plus not a whole lot of production from that first string OR from the bench. aari mcdonald pulling her weight ofc, and with cam injured it’s obviously tough. rickea had a bad night efficiency wise but 10 and 7 on 25 mins isn’t bad for a rook at all.
meanwhile the sun has all five of their starters in double digits. talk about a team effort holy fuck. p good team efficiency too i mean… they’re a problem. not the aces, not new york: y’all watch out for the sun
hope y’all enjoyed this!! lmk what y’all wanna see :)

wnba recap 6/27
holy FUCK bro what a fucking day i know i’m late but let’s get into it
minnesota lynx vs. dallas wings
there is genuinely no world in which the wings should have won this game. none at all. rike shot 8-17 and that’s GOOD for her. mccowan had a double double, solid work, but everyone should really be thanking odyssey sims. everyone say thank you!!! say thank you kim mulkey!!!
yeah y’all should’ve left courtney williams in chicago if she was just gonna win the cup and then pull this shit. 1-6? lord we got klay thompson himself in the w. lynx bench is really just zero help like poor phee put the team on her back against dallas and it just didn’t pan out.
connecticut sun vs. washington mystics
the fact that this game even went to overtime… connecticut you are in trouuuubleeee! i thought it was gonna go to DOUBLE too. shout out shatori walker-kimbrough because miss girl was automatic until she had to hit that clutch 3 😭😭 nah i’m playing but lord help poor aaliyah edwards. this girl was never injured in college and missing this many games. THEN she gets to washington and her teammates are injured or running furniture stores, and her own back is out. my poor husky i’m so sorry baby
now ms. alyssa thomas. 1-5?? 7 points??? 37 MINUTES????? lord give me strength this team is gonna piss me off thank god she got 8 boards bc why the fuck else are you on the floor. dijonai 4-9 from 3 tho thank you good god. since no one else on that damn team could hit a 3. what do you MEAN 2-9?? db bro??? jesus christ.
las vegas aces vs. chicago sky
AYEEEE SEC LINKUPPPPP IK Y’ALL SEE DAT ‼️‼️ we got the bayou barbie, killa kamilla, and the m’vp herself going head to head to head
dawn staley not too happy about her girl blocking her girl but it’s all love <3 HELLOOOOOO A’JA WILSON 30 PIECE! HELLOOOO ANGEL 9TH STRAIGHT DOUBLE DOUBLE. I GOT MY MVP. I GOT MY ROTY. THIS IS GOOD FUCKING TELEVISION THANK YEWWWW ‼️‼️‼️‼️
in other news… the 3 points from kysre explains some… other events that transpired maybe
indiana fever vs. seattle storm
YEEEEEAAAAHHH GIVE IT TO EM GOLD MAMBA. GIMME THAT SHIT. i love jewell loyd so fucking much idc. i literally LOVE her.
34 points???? on 10-15??? with one eye??? yeah. YEAH.
kristy wallace get out the fuckin league bro. 18 whole minutes and you couldn’t contribute a single bucket. what are we doing here guys??? why is christie sides’ head so far up her own ass??
caitlin clark - great efficiency from the field. good shot selection.
nneka double double, sds what the fuck, sami whitcomb i just feel like you should be playing soccer and idk why, nika… played for 1 whole minute!
anyway seattle absolutely clobbers the fever in a somewhat rare occasion of having their shit together so that was like really good!

wnba recap 6/21
indiana fever vs. atlanta dream
what a… fever dream 🤣🤣🤣 hahaha get it?? okay anyway so aliyah boston (prepare yourselves) DOUBLE DOUBLE ON 100% SHOOTING. 5-FUCKING-5. GAAAAAHHHH DAMN! caitlin clark is little miss efficiency tn too!! 6-12 fg and 4-8 3pfg okayyy!!! quit fouling tho girl you don’t even play defense like that 😭
nalyssa had a good night too, katie lou solid minutes off the bench. paige may not be an indiana fever if they keep this up bc they’re lowk cooking rn can’t lie!!
atlanta however… tina charles man look at that husky! 24/7 on 9-13 can’t complain except that the rest of her team was unhelpful and/or inefficient.
and i cannot tell if i’m reading this right. like i HAVE to be tripping. atlanta shot 35 FREE THROWS. MADE 31. AND STILL LOST THE GAME. indiana shot 11. and got TECHED 3 TIMES?? HELLO??? WTF???
yeah atlanta got outplayed solely in terms of efficiency, outrebounded on the defensive end, and outscored in the paint. nothing to it. just goes to show that you can draw as many fouls as you fuckin want but if you’re playing impure basketball, you’re not winning shit.
las vegas aces vs connecticut sun
damn i wanted to watch this game so bad but i didn’t so im just going off of box.
aces are back!!! welcome back point gawd!!! league better watch TF OUT! bc they’re back and they’re healthy and they’re gonna be better bc now everybody done pissed them off.
bro dijonai carrington on some steph shit last night bc why her 3pfg better than her fgp. just a baddd night for connecticut, but idk if i can attribute it to aces defense bc i didn’t watch. 6 for AT, 6 for DB, nai gets 19.
now a’ja wilson… you are a nasty woman. you are a BAD, BADDDDD woman. 26/16?? 12 D BOARDS!!! miss girl!!! that’s m’vp shit. and y’all know i got my husky loyalties, but stewie gotta step it u, bc that 4th place mvp vote made a’ja a monster icl.
solid production from everyone except tip hayes i just… chelsea the starting lineup missed you 😭

wnba recap 7/5
i’m feeding y’all tn damn bruh
dallas wings vs atlanta dream
i actually could not give a fuck less about these two teams to be honest with you like they’re THE most painful teams to watch and/or recap but imma do it for y’all!
“wings pick up 5th win of the season” LORDDD satou you are MISSED girl 💀💀💀
rike bro meet efficiency! shake her hand! get acquainted and stop shooting 1-7 FROM FUCKING 3!!!! jacy sheldon thank you - 17 points on 50% shooting.
atlanta fucking dream if y’all play w henny again bro i SWEAR to god. thank you tina charles, great game alisha gray, nicely done haley jones - matter of fact, both starting lineups contributed evenly. hm. not as painful. but i’m watching you fuckers.
las vegas aces vs los angeles sparks
now imma go out on a limb here and say miss dearica hamby’s 28/14 double double is a large part of why this game went to OT. HELLOOOOO aari mcdonald man i haven’t thought ab aari mcdonald since 2021 nicely done.
i miss chelsea at full health bro i can’t even look at her stat line holy fuck take it away. syd w 1 min 😭 fuckin personality hire lord. cut the shit bro mvp a’ja rn are you joking. maybe don’t take any more 3’s tho 💀💀 that’s all you otherwise girl
yeah this is why the aces concern me sometimes because like… this should’ve been signed and sealed by the 3rd quarter but these mfkers are getting sent to OVERTIME LORDDDD
seattle storm vs. chicago sky
y’all seen jordan horston been on one lately??? think she had a double a couple games ago but she got 20 tn on 73% SHOOTING BRO. as a GUARD. ezi ate down (ignore fgp) (and 3pfg) YESSSSS GIRL YESSS EZI
sami shitcomb please switch sports, nika didn’t even SMELL the floor tn, paige madison bueckers - quit going to games. and making people lose. please dude. stay the fuck home.
CHENNEDY CARTER 30 PIECE!! ANGEL REESE DOUBLE DOUBLE!! ANGEL WITH 2 MADE THREE’S!!!!!!
anyway great night 👍🏽 lots of exciting things gearing up for this all star break n shit so stay tuned :)

all star roster
so sorry babes life has been hectic but we are BACK BITCHES!!!
this all star roster had me 😃😮‍💨😮🙄🫨
interpret that how y’all feel
dijonai got snubbed. idc that some of y’all wanna be like oh she doesn’t score as many points blah blah she plays for one of the most stacked teams in the league. she doesn’t need to drop 30 a night. this is just like basic basketball logic bro and if y’all got your heads out the stat sheet for one second to consider the intangibles ALSOOO that would be great
why are 3 fever players on here. like what. this is soooo “i only watch for caitlin clark and those are her teammates let me vote for them! idk any of these other names!” bro what the fuck. respectfully, kelsey mitchell over ezi is downright ludicrous. like ezi is putting up 13 and 8 on a team w jewell loyd and nneka ogwumike please let’s use our CRITICAL FUCKING THINKING!!! WHY IS KELSEY MITCHELL ON HERE!!!!
y’all snubbed tina charles too fuck you.
okay before i crash out let’s talk about names i’m happy to see
dewanna bonner!
caitlin and aliyah as expected
angel!! miss double double!!

thank you christie sides 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for not starting crusty wallASS. oh my god 12 minutes on the floor just to go 1-4 you actually make me sick. double doubles for caitlin and aliyah, both valid all star picks yupppp! i loved the little interactions between the aces players and caitlin it was so adorable.
temi was CRASHING THOSE BOARDS during her lil 16 mins on the court loooove to see it :)
GODDAMN A’JA. idc if it’s stat padding bruh leave her in for 1 min to get that last board for the double come onnn but! KELSEY PLUM?? PLUM DAWG??? good LORD i cannot imagine how this team has lost 6 WHOLE games when this is how they play even when chelsea gray doesn’t contribute that much.
kate martin 11 minutes 0 points 😭😭 y’all always have this girl panicking dear god imagine how embarrassing it would’ve been if she’d ended up on that all star roster 💀💀💀
okay anyway enjoyed that game i will be back on my recap grind soon y’all!! promise!!

wnba recap 6/19
washington mystics vs. indiana fever
ARIEL ATKINS LOOK AT THAT LONGHORNNN that 3pfg nasty tho we’re not gonna worry about that. 17 minutes for emily engstler?? i’m impressed
lord does this team miss kira and edd. aaliyah off night but did she get hurt??? i saw she had like a stiff back or smth someone lmk.
washington struggled mostly on efficiency and got out rebounded on the defensive end. they also got out scored in the paint, and it looks to me like they didn’t convert off of turnovers as much as they could have, which again comes down to issues with efficiency.
on the other hand, indiana won this game because they did all of those things better. neither team was hot from 3 but caitlin clark has a double double and aliyah boston and kelsey mitchell get 22 each for a pretty solid night. alarming lack of bench production for indiana tho.
seattle storm vs las vegas aces
i mean seattle just got outplayed in a star to star matchup. you have a’ja and jackie showing the fuck out with 27 and 32; absolutely ZERO mercy. the storm shoot like shit from 3, jewell is effectively absent (35 whole minutes with not a single field goal made and only 1 point off of ONE free throw.
jordan horston and ac both get solid minutes off the bench tho. i mean jordan gets 18 points off the bench, talk about second string production. aces bench was more or less absent except for ac - kate martin girl your iowa is showing. 10 minutes and nothing to show for it but a foul? jesus CHRIST.
good to see chelsea gray getting some mins in before the olympics. can’t quite place why the aces have been having such a tough time, but i really do think it’s the fact that they don’t have chelsea gray distributing on the floor.
atlanta dream vs. minnesota lynx
not much to say here either like it just looks like it’s a matter of lesser of two evils from box - 29% fg vs 35% - i guess it really came down to the 3 ball, but minnesota only shot 32 from the arc so it’s really just a matter of the little things here
getting to the line, sure, but more importantly: FINISHING at the line, and points in the paint, which minnesota had the leg up on, even tho atlanta got to the line more.
tina charles plays a complete game, haley jones plays an efficient one, but both get stuck with 3 fouls. bench not hugely helpful for atlanta except on the boards. even phee didn’t have that good of a game last night.
yeah this was just not good basketball overall - two middle of the pack teams duking it out to see which one is worse is just… meh. honestly don’t have huge hopes for either team in the postseason this year.

OH WE ARE SOOOO BACK
eric thibault come here. sit down. listen to me CAREFULLY you piece of fucking shit. start. aaliyah. edwards.
she did more than most of your starters yesterday with less time on the floor. she shot fucking 5-7 from the field. when do they stop sleeping bro. when??? when she wins roty, you’re gonna regret this. and when am i gonna see emily engstler play bro. you got a 6’1 #4 pick just collecting dust on the bench this shit is odd. kicking my feet at kira being back tho.
CAM BRINK FOR CO-ROTY YO. SHE’S CLUTCH. SHE’S THE BLONDE MOUND OF REBOUND!!! speaking of rebounds - dearica hamby with 18. fucking. boards. 18. and a double double. oooohhh becky hammon how we feeling now huh??? more boards than the rest of the team had POINTS. anyway, cam with a killer block to seal the game <3 tara preps her girls right.
yeah unfortunately these will not be as mean as my nba recaps because i find it much harder to shit on men than women and also i have a lot more respect for wnba players. sorry 😃😃 minimal verbal abuse here
