Have to give a shout to my Asians, SE Asians and Pacific Islanders in the WNBA Finals!
Coach Natalie Nakase - Japanese American
Kaitlyn Chen - Taiwanese American
Te-Hina Paopao - American Samoan/Polynesian
3 incredible stories of resilience and toughness
Ok now that the celebration over, who is stopping Janelle and the Italian next game?
I don't wanna see that shit no more!
Another thing I like about the US not basically autogolding and some specialists coming back is that Chellsie and the Chellsettes are going to actually have to build teams and make choices.
Everything else aside, actual selection has been VERY easy thus far.
Earn your keep!
9 players scoring from the Dream tonight with 5 in double digits.
Oh my.
Idk what the gameplan is for the Valks but they simply do not have the firepower to deal with that kind of performance.
Angel Reese today
21 points and 13 rebounds
On 58-100-100 shooting, with 3 assists and 3 steals.
This is insane stuff.
Everytime Chen is in the game for the rest of the series Izzy should go in. Complete mismatch in almost every way.
I am a BIT worried about too many celebs etc at the game. Angel I think is over it now and has worked through it (tho she had some issues earlier on) but this is still kind of new for the other girls.
Tough one. I do like that she came out aggressive not timid. Was probably a little overhyped for the 1st pass and then tried to stick the rest to make up for it which caused the two bumbles (tho she did crush the DLO) the patience will come with time.
I think she'll kill EFs!
Oh MY that was VERY TIGHT. Congrats to China!!
For the US they have to think ot was right there multiple times, of course the fall but also Esponda both the .2 in difficulty and the out. And Skye Dscore will be controversial.
US team should just relax and think about putting on a show.
They've done what they've needed to today. No need to do more, just dont do less.
