@@user-wd4uf2sm5d my point exactly. I’m not sure I can remember a more meaningless streak than this points/rebound double double streak. Like if AR had only 3 double doubles in 15 games but had 9 of those games where she missed it by a board or rebound, would we still be talking about her? What if she was averaging 2 blks a game w/o but only averaged 7 pts, 11 boards? That’s more impressive than getting low board and point double doubles. For a big that shoots 40% on layups.

@@mj23goat3 IDK about that. Point guards honestly should easily hit 10 assists and 10 points every game. Their job is to find the open person, so the assists should be easy. Sometimes people miss or take too long or pass again, I get that but 10 assists as a pg who's job it is to pass to open looks shouldn't be hard. And the other half is just 5 buckets. Again idk but I feel like a pg getting a 1010 is similar to the bigs getting 10 10 on rebounds. Maybe even easier.
@mj23goat3Ай бұрын
@@InfiniteKhaos If it's so easy then why have only 18 players been at 10 apg or higher in the last decade? That's less than 2 players per season, ffs. And the reason it's more difficult is because a PG's assists are reliant on another player hitting the shot. Once the ball is out of the point guards hands he/she is not in control of the outcome anymore. Whereas when a PF or C grabs a rebound there are no other players involved in that.

I didn't know who A'ja Wilson was or probably 99% of the WNBA players until I started watching Caitlin play. I knew Taurasi and... that may be it. It is a residual effect that the league becomes familiar. I still don't have all of the team "names" learned yet, but slowly I find myself becoming familiar with them. The Mercury, Sun, etc I'm learning - but still with one foot out the door. If the animosity continues and she starts missing out on deserved awards like Olympic teams, ROTY and other things, I'm not up for being watching that kind of abuse and I'll turn it off and go back to my mainstay, the NBA and collegiate men's basketball. And I'll bet there are millions more like myself out there.

@JeremyVaughtАй бұрын
It was a really great game, which shocked me too. Game was closer than score showed, Fever was within 3 I think with 40 seconds to go, and then everything went against them. Wings had two great shooting guards that tore everyone up, they were the whole team. Wings have two 6’7” posts, and I was surprised how ineffective they ultimately were. That’s my take. I heard the announcers say they’ve had injury issues most of year, which does make sense. If they didn’t have either of those guards, Odyssey Sims or Ariel Ogunbowale, they have no team. Having said all that, Caitlyn needs to step it up on defense and move without the ball, stop standing around on offense. Then she will be truly greatness.
