That was a wild game! The Liberty were up early by nearly 20 points, but the Skyy closed the gap and kept it close for the better part of the second half. However, the Liberty pulled away down the stretch. That combo of Stewart and Ionescu is brutal. [Reply]

You don't have an objective bone in your body.
13 points and 10 boards in 24 minutes. If you think that's bad then what about Clark's 3 points and 1/10 from the field the other day?? And you have the nerve to downplay these stats? :-) [Reply]

Yeah NY were murdering them early in the game then Chicago had a huge run to end the first half. They were getting stops but stalled out too many times offensively and if you keep giving Stewert chances she's gonna hurt you eventually. Sabrina also did damage but tbh her three point shooting has been dire everytime I've watched her. Chicago are a gritty, young team and you can see what they could become if they nail the next draft and get a few more good pieces. [Reply]
I just pulled out this part, you can read the whole thing at the link.
Caitlin Clark being paid based on potential, fan interest
In fact, and this is probably my fourth super hot take of the column so far, there's a strong argument Caitlin Clark is the only athlete in any pro sport ever to be the highest paid in the sport and not be one of the top five or top 10 best in the sport. Ever in the history of sports. (I say top five or top 10 because you can often debate whether someone is the best or not if they are in the top five or the top 10.) Even if you are a Caitlin Clark diehard, I think it's pretty clear that Clark isn't a top five or top 10 talent in the WNBA right now.
I said RIGHT NOW.
Maybe one day she will be.
But RIGHT NOW she's the highest paid women's basketball player ever and she's nowhere near the best pro.

This is just a whataboutism. I have never tried to pretend that Clark had a good game when she had a bad one. [Reply]
