I mean, honestly, I don't know that ive seen a single WNBA game until this season. And I still can't watch a game that doesn't include Clark. But games with Clark are legit exciting especially now that Kelsey Mitchell is red hot. And if you need an extra excuse, Lexie hull on that team is fun to look at [Reply]

I have watched a few Clark college games and I get the draw, but I see enough shit scrolling Twitter to keep me entertained and coming back here to shit on Reese. And that's all I really need. [Reply]

Just imagine if she was hot? And how even much more hate she would get.
I've seen the "Iowa pretty" thrown around and that's more like it.
If they really wanna save this sport they need the next Caitlin Clark to look more like Livvy Dunn.
Too bad they just got a whole buncha Chennedy Carter's. [Reply]

The last women's player who met the hype and expectations from her college days was Taurasi. Clark has shown enough in her rookie season to be even better than the WNBA version of Taurasi. [Reply]

I went to the University of Iowa and about 9 out of 10 were hotter than Clark. As far as just rando Iowa townies then probably 6 out of 10 were hotter but U of Iowa has some hot coeds...or used to circa 2007. [Reply]

Offensively yes she's a work in progress but she has hit threes and midrange jumpers on and off all season and I'd expect that to improve as she gains more experience. The tools are there for her to improve offensively and if she does she could be Kawhi lite imo.
It's funny how when the Fever were losing everyone blamed her teammates. Now they are barely 500 "her teammates owe Clark everything"?? Mitchell has been balling since the start of the season so I don't agree that it's solely down to Clark.
Also I think that excuse regarding her turnovers is weak. Quality players don't give the ball away as prolifically as Clark does and it's a habit she had in college too. And what makes it worse is many of them lead to easy buckets for the opposition. When the playoffs start that's when such habits really come home to roost as they did when she lost back to back finals with Iowa.
If you wanna talk about qb's then Brett Favre might be a good Clark comparison tbh. But I digress.

KC lost week 1 last year on national TV because Mahomes threw a pick six. If you look at the box score that is what you see. Now was that INT and thusly the loss his fault? [Reply]

What are Reese’s countless missed shots costing her team? [Reply]
