Just a horrible game for the Fever tonight. Mitchell and CC just couldn't hit their shots. Unfortunately too is that CC lost her league-leading assist crown tonight to the Mercury's Thomas.

Clark and Mitch have to score 55-60 points collectively, and the team has to play anything resembling defense in order to survive the first round.

I am watching a crappy YouTube stream through a pirate's bubble. Without needing to play close attention to the "game," I asked AI to explain how the pirates monetize their broadcast. I got a thorough and interesting explanation... much more interesting than the game.

I'd guess I've seen CC play well over 200 games....have never seen her shoot like this.

Of the 7 3s she missed I'd say at least 6 were really good in rhythm shots...to miss all 7 is such a complete aberration...hope she can just flush it and move on and come out firing Sunday.
Burn that f***ing ball and bring in the ones they use at the college level.

CC would never claim it as an excuse, but I wonder if going back and forth between the different basketballs used in FIBA and the W can cause shooting issues for some.

Burn that f***ing ball and bring in the ones they use at the college level.
Amen!! Just use a regular damn basketball. But not the junk Wilson ball either. Leather Spalding please

Ok, this team looks like they’ll be eliminated in the first round.

Who stays and who goes?

On Contract:
Boston
Clark - Rookie Contract but can sigh the Mega-contract extension
Lexi
Billings
Johnson - Rookie Contract
Timpson - Rookie Contract
Dantas - on an unprotected contract

Free Agent:
Mitchell
Cunningham
Harris
Hines-Allen
VanSlooten

Dantas better be gone. Cunningham too as she hasn’t provided value in half a season. Harris is a decent backup, so I’d consider keeping her. Hines-Allen is just a replacement-level player, I’m ok if she stays for depth. VanSlooten is a wasted roster spot, but at least on a cheap rookie contract.

Lexi and Billings are untradeable. 1.6MM of cap space on those two is insane. Maybe they could ditch one by eating some cap space, but it’d have to be a decent amount of space.

Johnson and Timpson are back no matter what on their rookie-scale contracts. Johnson could be trade bait I guess.

Mitchell is going to be so expensive, and looking for a multi-year contract I’d guess. Not sure how they could keep her unless Clark doesn’t sign that big extension with pay raise. Don’t know who would be available, but a 3 and D SG would be great to pair with CC.
