Damn that sucks, I got League pass through prime, and thankfully all the Liberty games are on OTA so no blackouts.
What a game.
Arike 34/8 and 9 threes
Satou with 25/4
Kelsey 36/6
Caitlin 28/12/5
Kelsey and Caitlin are a nasty backcourt

On one hand her being white helps but on the other hand there's been other white players that had similar pedigree coming out of college and didn't get pushed like she does. Kelsey Plum was the previous all time scoring leader and number 1 pick, she never got the love Big Cait gets.
It honestly just comes down to Caitlin's game, the 30 foot threes, constant push up the floor and crazy passes make her wildly entertaining to watch. I been watching the W for a while and she's truly the first player of her kind, she deserves like 95% of the love she gets. The 5% being people repping her without watching just cause she's white. I can't even hate on people rooting for her cause she's white, I do the same when there's black person breaking into a sport, it's like the entire foundation for my tennis son idea 🤣

It helps that she's really good already.
But we also live in a landscape where the big media partners are pushing Bronny coverage 24/7, too.
It's not 50-50 or anything like that though.
Because again: SHE'S REALLY FUCKING GOOD

She's going to break the assist record as a rookie too 🤣
It will not shock me when she averages 28/10 in her prime

Which would be insane for a 40 minute game
Ingram and Theis missing a voluntary camp that everyone else showed up for, even Trey who is also in contract negotiations for his extension. However, it is Ingram's birthday and the Pels put out a highlight video:
So being a salty former pro mad at the new generation is just a core feature of basketball regardless of gender . I hope Sheryl is just playing Skip to get the bag
Kib, I used a statkeeper app to watch the games and get my nephews and his teammates per 36 this season 🤓
Even got their plus minuses and FG%.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostKib, I used a statkeeper app to watch the games and get my nephews and his teammates per 36 this season 🤓Nice! I would see if you can get eFG and maybe ts%, too. Those can both be done manually as long as you have the numbers for 2fg, 3fg, and fts.
Even got their plus minuses and FG%.
Personally, I would ignore +/- because too few games and against too uneven team quality would result in too much effort to determine if it means anything.
If you want to harp on rebounding to your nephew, see if you can figure out personal and team rebounding when he is and isn’t on the floor. Back it up with tape, of course. See if there is a teammate who impacts rebounding on the team in an unexpectedly positive way and show him why that is.
I think the Knicks might take it this year
I see too much unity, too much youngry, and Kristaps will be injured

By Jazzy Jambalaya Go To PostThey lost Hartenstein and will be playing Randle more minutes so I don't see it.They're very small at the forward and center position.
OG, Bridges, and Hart is solid af
The only center you really have to worry about in the East is Embiid and you just have to outlast him tbh.
Celtics repeating really comes down to KP either way. Can't imagine Dallas in another Finals run. They got bodied worse than Miami

They didnt match up well with the Pacers last season, but they should better equipped now

If Bridges misses one game then Thibs and Knicks are cursed
Randle is a ticking time bomb but I think he won’t go full iso dummy mode

The stats and watching his games more closely helped me realize he's a pretty good defensive rebounder but meh on the offensive end. His team defense is the biggest issue, hes good man to man but turns into a space cadet when he guards in a zone. He averaged 0.9 spg but mostly cause half the turnovers just went to him on lucky bounces.
His shooting splits are hilarious, 58% FG 41% three.........
...37% FT 🤣

Is his ft form during those games different than his normal set shot form? I wonder if he is subconciously using a different form and it is messing things up.
If it's just a mental thing... maybe you can do something like Steve Kerr practiced when he was playing. Just randomly during your workouts with him, get him to take some free throws instead of him practing just them all at once. Maybe that break in routine will help him slow himself down and focus on them better.
e: tbf, Kerr's practice was talking to an assistant coach for a few minutes after practice then immediately getting up and having to shoot a 3

It's a combo of not practicing and forgetting to load his wrist and keep his elbow in. He relaxes at the line and rushes because he's impatient, so his form breaks down, plus he doesn't jump which is still rare at the 11-12 yrs old level.
I yelled to load his wrist and you can see him do it there 🤣 He should be better this year as he's been practicing and his wrist loads and has been shooting a lot with a shot machine where he can get up 200+ shots. Also 18 on the other team was a big kid, maybe 6'1 and I couldn't tell if he was 6th or 7th grade, he had a post game and a three point shot.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostBig Cait has floaters now, she added that during the break which is crazyyup. it was the big thing that was holding her back from being an efficient scorer. she isn't a dominant interior scorer so she needed that in-between game to really keep defenders on their heels.
By reilo Go To PostAbout what I expected. Probably back in December. I dunno how much it matters as he was probably going to be the 8-9th man this year (at least to start the year)
