#WelcometotheW
When everyone gives their takes about why the Chicago Sky keeps losing games, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso should be left out of your think pieces.
The problem is the Sky has NO bench and NO guards on this team.
Starting backcourt comparisons:
Minnesota: 39 points
Chicago:
Angel Reese would be trending
#1
in America right now and people would be losing their minds over it. Think pieces about how classless she is would be flooding my timeline 🥴🥱
Stanford's Cameron Brink fouls out of her final home game and gives the ref a big "F*ck you" while leaving the court. Imagine if Angel Reese did this💀😭
Playing center at LSU all season last year definitely helped develop Angel Reese’s game against bigger players and it showed tonight against Jonquel Jones and the bigs of the Liberty.
I guess Kim Mulkey prepares her players for the WNBA after all 🤧
Aces fans booing Dearica Hamby at this game is very weird. The things listed in the lawsuit are disgusting and if found to be true… 🤢
We should never want a player to endure that kind of treatment from any franchise. Do better 💯
Perfectly put. Angel Reese has become THE standard for building your brand while still being successful in your sport as a collegiate athlete. By being unapologetically herself 🎯💯
At this point in the season, there’s one glaring problem the Chicago Sky has..
Chicago loses their games in the second quarter when the bench comes in. Every. Game.
Last time the Sky won the 2nd quarter was July 10th against Atlanta. They won 78-69 🫠

#WNBA
The refs swallow their whistles every game against the Sky (and Angel Reese specifically), but get called for touch-fouls on the other end.
They get murdered every night in the paint and doesn’t get any calls, which also contributes to the low efficiency.
#WNBA
#Skytown
Angel Reese is one of the best defenders in the league as a rookie and the numbers prove that, but it’s a shame people diminish it because they only care about blocks.
Holding star-players and league MVPs below their season averages >>>> blocked shots 🥱
Angel is an
If the announcers are questioning nearly every call and highlighting what the Liberty isn’t getting called for in those exact same sequences, there’s clearly something going on.
But that’s every Chicago Sky game 🫤
#WNBA
#WelcomeToTheW
#Skytown
This is the kind of selfish guard-play the Chicago Sky has dealt with all year. Waving Mo off to force a bad shot and miss on the other end 🙄😒
If this is happening between the guards, it’s 10x worse for the post players. Can’t wait for the offseason 🤧
#WNBA
The fact that there’s literal debates and think-pieces going on about how much rebounding should be valued in basketball (because Angel Reese is the best at it) is insanity 😭
People will always try to diminish what she’s doing no matter what to prop others up, that’s clear 🤧
I know the narrative was the Chicago Sky is a team who will be really good in the future, but they’re making some noise NOW 🔥
Nice road win against an elite team while shorthanded, missing possibly 2 starters 🤔 when healthy, the Sky will be TUFF😮💨
#SkyTown
#WNBA
The idea that a player doesn’t get any foul calls simply because she’s a rookie is mind-boggling.
Angel Reese been getting killed all game and haven’t shot a single free throw besides a technical shot. It’s Chicago vs. the other team + the refs every game man. Do your job
@WNBA
T-Spoon.. I cannot believe you took Angel Reese out of the game.
So many questions about the decision-making all night, but I cannot believe you did that. I just—
A new narrative will have to be created because clearly.. Angel Reese isn’t why Kamilla doesn’t get touches….
…. it’s the guards 🫠 a segment of the fanbase needed tonight to happen in order to see that
#skytown
Y’all: Kamilla Cardoso can’t score because they forcing it to Angel
Well today Angel Reese was benched in the 3rd for foul trouble and Kamilla Cardoso didn’t get no touches with her out 😂
The Chicago Sky was faced with a MUST WIN tonight and DELIVERED!
Chennedy Carter returned and put on a masterclass. Angel Reese COOKED tonight and showed out EFFICIENTLY 😮💨 Kamilla had another block party 🫣 the bench contributed! Dana didn’t play🙌🏽
All-around amazing night
Not commenting much on the Sky/Liberty game, but I’ll say this.
If we see a repeat of yesterday’s game tomorrow, it will be very loud on this app and I understand 🤧
Seimone Augustus to the LSU coaching staff.. HUGE acquisition by the staff.
This will impact recruiting and having WNBA/championship experience on the staff will help further the player-development even more, especially in the guard room. Great day to be a Tiger! 🐅💜💛
@LSUwbkb
The “villain” narrative surrounding Angel Reese has always been funny considering how much other players around the WNBA (vets especially) love her.
All media and fan-driven narratives, but all the
#WNBAAllStar
content shows she’s the opposite of a villain 🥱
#WNBA
#SkyTown
Wonder what the narrative will be tomorrow 🤔🤧 Angel Reese put up a career high in points, displayed her clutch with 4 huge free throws to ice the game, and showed confident long-distance shooting while getting another double-double for the Chicago Sky🫣🔥💯

#skytown
They’re going to crucify for Sheryl Swoopes for saying this, but she didn’t lie.
Two things can co-exist: 1) The Sky likely wouldn’t sniff the playoffs without Angel Reese and 2) Caitlin Clark collectively has a better team around her with more stability than Angel in Chicago.
Sheryl Swoopes:
"I don't know if Sky are in the playoffs without Reese"
But Fever are a playoff team even without Caitlin😭
Fever had

pick for 2 years for a reason
Also, bringing down other Sky players just to prop up Reese ROTY case. Sick work😭

#FeverRising
If LSU gets THIS version of HVL every game, good luck 😮💨 impressive win on the road against a quality team without having close to your best game. On to Georgia on Thursday 🫡
If she remains healthy, Shy Day-Wilson’s impact for LSU next year can cause ripple effects. A true, veteran point guard who’s quick, can defend and make the correct reads at the right time is all LSU needed.
Excited for
@Shydw4
and LSU’s season next year. Geaux Tigers 🐅💜💛
“The Chicago Sky are the ‘Bad Girls’ of the WNBA” 🥱
That reputation is completely media-driven because of Angel Reese and Chennedy Carter. Real W fans know the Sky aren’t even CLOSE to being one of the more dirtier teams in the league 🥴🤷🏽♂️

LSU Transfer Portal Additions Overview: Jersey Wolfenbarger - G/Jr.
Jersey Wolfenbarger is probably the most intriguing portal-addition with possibly the highest ceiling due to her height and guard-skillset. She also has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
The T-Spoon rumors are insane and troublesome. For perspective, she’s a first-year head coach and inherited the worst-constructed roster in the league (and only roster in the WNBA to start two rookies).
The Sky overachieved and finished higher than their preseason ranking of
@TwinBritney
Never said she (nor anyone) was above criticism. I said we have much bigger problems to worry about. Plus Angel has one of the best +/- on the team for the season so this isn’t the hill you should die on.
Regardless of it being 3v3, Mikaylah Williams looks MUCH improved defensively and has quicker feet. The offensive game still looking as polished as ever.
Scary hours in Baton Rouge this fall 👀👀🔥🔥
#LSU
Halftime stat:
Las Vegas Aces starting guards - 30
Chicago Sky starting guards - 0
The Sky needs to be much better collectively, but guard-play specifically has been a glaring issue for so long now 🤧

Respectfully, there’s a reason Rickea wasn’t in ROTY convos. When she’s not scoring, she isn’t impacting the game at all and becomes a liability.
For Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, these kinds of performances RARELY occur and if they do, they’re crucified.

Major shoutout to

hope to see more this LSU content with Unc in the future to talk hoops 👀🤞🏽💯
Sounds like we have a lot to be excited about! Geaux Tigers 🐅💜💛
To think there’s actually a flopping rule in the WNBA for this very reason.. it’s comedy because I’ve never seen it enforced all year in any game.
@WNBA
@CathyEngelbert
Something needs to change because officiating has been horrendous all year, especially for the Chicago Sky

The agenda-pushing in the WNBA is crazy, but it’s also very typical and expected.
They claim the ROTY race is over and Angel Reese didn’t even have a game today, but the unprovoked jabs and the campaigning against her continues 🥴
These announcers about to make me turn the game off. “Easier to get points/rebound doubles-doubles than it is to get points/assists double-doubles.” Chill out with the propaganda. I just want to enjoy basketball.
LSU is playing their best basketball right now and clicking at the right time, this team just needed time. The defense is elite and the offense is rolling as it did all year. If healthy, they can beat anyone in the nation. 🔥🫡
Once again, Angel Reese showed why she won SEC POTY. On one ankle, she had a great game. Health is the only obstacle now and with Poa going down, the road is much tougher.
Prayers for Poa🙏🏽and let’s see what happens tomorrow, but can’t say enough about LSU. Team full of DOGS 💯
Angel Reese (
@Reese10Angel
) in SEC Tournament semifinal game vs (3) Ole Miss:
• 21 points
• 17 rebounds (6 offensive)
• 2 steals
• 1 block

since 2012.

Thankful these spaces are always recorded 🤧 more evidence to prove everyone doesn’t need a platform or a mic because a lot of people don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to Angel Reese or just choosing to hate 🫤🥴

Honestly, it still amazes me how much Angel Reese doing the wave towards Caitlin Clark blew up. Such a seismic moment in women’s basketball/sports history while you could literally put on a random NBA regular-season game and see the men do much worse 🫤🫠
#WNBA
#WelcometotheW
@TwinBritney
It literally indicates how the team does while a player is on the court in comparison of the opponent.
Dismissing the numbers that statistically prove Chicago is a better team while Angel is on the floor to fit your false narrative is… a choice. You got it, Britney 🥱
This was incredibly premature by the Chicago Sky and imo, a mistake. If T-Spoon was only going to be given a year, she was set up for failure from the very start.
Really hope the Sky has a plan in place after pulling the trigger so quickly…. 🫣😵💫

Angel Reese came to LSU and two years later? A STAR at the MET GALA 🤩 if this kind of inspiration doesn’t tell a kid to consider LSU, I’m not sure what will. 😮💨🔥

@CallingsonMaka
This threw me for a loop 😂 but I’m so excited to watch a series in peace with no narratives or agenda-filled hatred. Basically the WNBA pre-2024 draft class 😂
For all the trash you’ve talked and stones you’ve thrown her way- take a good look. She’s a National Champion, an All American, a walking double-double, a fierce competitor and leader. And she’s beautiful. Tonight she’ll be drafted into the WNBA and begin a new journey. She won.
Games and moments like these are why a portion of the Caitlin Clark fanbase do her a disservice with how insufferable they are.
Instead of allowing her to grow and develop as a rookie with the Indiana Fever peacefully, they set her up for these punchlines 🥴🤧

Reminds me of a very similar move she put on UCLA in the Sweet 16 🫣🔥 Excited for the LSU season and to see her continued development under Seimone Augustus
#LSU
LSU did their big one with adding these players. Guard-play has been addressed and anything more would be lagniappe… if LSU can manage to swipe a big out the portal, the roster is set imo.. Geaux Tigers 🐅💜💛… and
@iGREDUS
still the GOAT 💯🤞🏽
In all honesty, Iowa should be the most upset with this kind of draw as a 1-seed. If I’m an Iowa fan, I’m HOT right now.
LSU, UCLA, Kansas St, Princeton, AND Colorado all in my bracket? That’s filthy 😭😷
A daily reminder to everyone—
Everyone doesn’t deserve to have a platform or a mic in these spaces because so many people give takes based on anything but basketball.
Once again, Angel Reese made another person sound silly 🙂↕️
Angel Reese did her thing against the runner-ups from last season, New York Liberty.
This entire Chicago Sky team looks really good (preseason or not 🤷🏽♂️) and should be a tough out this year. A 48-point thrashing and they’re not even healthy.. that’s a statement 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If Michaela Onyenwere has another DNP this year, I’m boycotting the Sky because there’s no way 😭
6/7 from the field for 14 pts, 2-2 from 3 and second-leading scorer behind Marina Mabrey while playing HALF the amount of minutes. PLAY HER 🗣️🗣️
