Yup

If yall got time, you should read this.

Compare the “clutch doesnt exist” arguers to the “clutch is real, FU for even suggesting it’s fake!!” people.

2 quotes.

“There’s such a thing as a clutch hit,” Law says. “What we can’t seem to find is the player who performs consistently in the clutch. I’ve never seen a study that shows a clear statistical difference.”

and

“You can just tell by the look in players’ eyes,” Black says, “how they act, that they enjoy the big stage. Now, whether they perform well or not might not be borne out by the statistics. But, in most cases I think, guys who have that look perform well.”

One of these guys is smart. One is dumb. Which one do you agree with?

I thought so.

SOphia Young Doesn’t Understand Basketball Etiquette

Remember, I’m allowed to dislike a player and still like the league.

Sophia Young: defending her terrible game winner…

I don’t know if I “called it,” but I definitely tried to bank it.

If you try to bank it, you call it.  If you try to throw a frozen rope as hard as you can against the backboard with a .01% chance of going in because you are terrible at basketball, then you still call it.  Otherwise everyone just thinks you suck.

It was kind of ugly looking because of L.A.’s good defense… and it was all I could do to fire it in on a line towards the backboard.

This is like when Kobe said something like, “They were throwing double and triple teams at me all game.”  Yeah if by “triple team” you mean “Paul Pierce” (old joke, I know).  Basically, Young wasn’t even guarded on the play.  Check the video.  She just panics and chucks the ball at the hoop.  Lucky as F’n hell.

The worst of this Sophia Young blog post is in the comments.  I realize making fun of blog comments is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I enjoy shooting fish in various barrels.

It’s not all about luck – you’re just being modest and the Sparks could learn a thing or two from the Silver Stars!

Nope, definitely all about luck.  Extreme luck at that.

Great Game Sophia, itwasn’t just a lucky shot, it was destiny!!

Oh boy.  Destiny.  Yup, just like those unlucky yet destinied 2001-2002 Patriots.

My destiny is to one day be a WNBA blogger.  When will it come true!!???/////???!!11?!/!/!/?1/?!

GO SOPHIA!!!!
we all love you and are thankful you are on our team.
you have one thing that LA will never have
Class and sportsmanship

I like Candace Parker’s “class” and “sportsmanship” if you know what I mean.

And by that I mean she has class and illustrates sportsmanship.

What’d you think I meant?

Where are the sane WNBA fans.  Save us devonsmith32!!

Great Game but Lucky Shot. Um hope tonights game does not have the same outcome as yesterday’s game. GO STArs I mean SPARKS.

PWND.  You could be the one and only normal WNBA fan.  Thank you devon.

wnba…kind of the like the nba

so just like the nba, la and san antonio met in the western conference finals, and detroit met up with bos…wait, wait i mean new york (kind of close to boston, right?) in the eastern finals

Sorry Silver Stars' fans - I'm picking Becky Hammon and Co. to win it all.

and now, the two number one seeds duke it out for the title, just like the nba (and exactly like the experts’ prediction. guess mechelle voepel knows her stuff). since la lost and detroit won (opposite of the nba) i’m going to say that the west – san antonio – wins the title. any team that can beat candace parker really shouldn’t lose to anyone. but then again, when have my predictions really turned out right?

Because I feel like being a Jerk and am procrastinating and want to destroy all happiness related to football this year because my team is looking not that great for the first time since like 2002, can you believe how long ago 2002 is? I still use 2000 as a reference point. Where am I? Oh Right, Cambell will always be bad to me even though he’s been great this year. Altho his auburn team went 13-0 and shouldve had a shot at USC ’specially becuase SEC is pretty good

Thanks for the Memories Texas Stadium

Especially the last one. Hail to the Redskins!

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait.

My life just got turned upside down.

Candace Parker + Lisa Leslie = 2 really good options

Becky Hammon+ 0 other really good options = 1 really good option

San Antonio Silverstars with less options > Los Angeles Sparks with more options

I don’t get it.

Ice Ice Baby

Alright, so don’t get me wrong – I realize that I was ever foolish to think that Candice Wiggins was in any way better than Candace Parker. But that doesn’t mean Wiggins isn’t a prolific scorer in her own right, and she’ll make her mark on the WNBA just like she did at Stanford. And apparently, she already has.

Candice Wiggins – affectionately dubbed “Ice” by our favorite women’s basketball star – won the WNBA’s Sixth Woman of the Year Award, which is about as best as she could have hoped for considering Parker wrapped up the Rookie of the Year in the first game of the season. So congrats to Wiggins. This 2008 draft class will be making waves for quite some time.

Self-serving Post

I shouldn’t write about this, but it’s bugging me.

Ok, so maybe Im not 50%, but honestly I’d do it again.

Because I think I am.

-Remember, I was 26 of my last 50.

-And also roughly 165 of my 200 went in, just 78 didnt actually go in.

-87-200 is decent, but yeah Im still 50%. I dont believe the results.

-Anybody wanna do a bet where I say I can hit 65% of my free throws? Anyone?

-Where’s Wojo?

PS: Im definitely better than my first 100. 42-100 sucks. seriously. F-it. Same time next week?

wnba games need to be televised

3 lead changes in the final minute.

two rejections by candace parker with 30 seconds to play.

game winner with one second left.

THIS STUFF CAN’T BE EXPERIENCED BY READING PLAY-BY-PLAYS!!! I NEED TELEVISION

Other Shammgod EDIT: Here’s video…

While I Was Wasting Time

this happened. The Sparks are good. While not in my favorite 5 teams, they are one of my favorites. Of course, no one cares about my opinions, unless I’m wrong, which I was about Pedro. Whatever, he deserves a perfect game. Im giving him this one. Hey, I used the word “which.” COolzz.

Lastly keep commenting on the Q & A post, we were surprised by the great response. We’ll have to do a mailbag I guess.

And yeah, Santana Moss does kinda suck.
