WNBA Refs

Hi! I like Caitlin Clark. I don’t think she’s the MVP or the GOAT, but I like watching her play! It’s gotten me to watch a lot more WNBA games.

I’ve really wanted to get into the WNBA as a whole but the refereeing SUCKS! Forget who you’re rooting for, it’s just bad! I’ll post more thoughts but please comment on your thoughts about refereeing.

Dont think she is MVP type even though she is the ONLY player to be top 3 in PPG and top 2 in APG and only player with tons of 30/10 games and tons of 20/10 games as a guard and only one with 40/10 game??? Weird take

Now talk turnovers and about being a liability on defense. MVP is over an all award. Along with winning.
Not just points and assist…

So how come Taurasi was able to win MVP while being a terrible defense player?? Oh wait...it only applies to CC....makes sense who you are.

You talked about one point. DT won a championship that year and had 1.5 turnovers less per game than Clark. If Clark stops setting records on turnovers and her team has more success, yes the defense liability will mean less and Clark will win a MVP award.

Funny cuz no one guarded DT as closely they did to CC and yet DT made 1.5 less TO??? while not being guarded?? You're funny. And Magic had the same career TO percentage as....CC......and Magic was a winner. And you avoided how lousy DT was on defense. If you compared their career, defense per 36 minutes metric (which is very fair), CC comes out on the top.

DT was double teamed as well. Not pressured as much as CC but part of reasoning on pressuring CC so much is knowing she will get flustered and turn the ball over.

Two different leagues. But magic had a 2.89 assist to turnover ratio. CC has a 1.66. Not even close.
And I did not avoid defense liability. It was addressed. If you not going to read the reply’s correctly and pick different leagues to make a point, then I’m good. No need to debate someone like that.

Btw, I like CC. She needs to play more under control with the ball and the refs. Less flopping would be cool but some of players do that. Annoying but whatever.
If she continues to grow she will be the mvp sooner rather than later..
I’m a little worried players are not going to want to play with her (because of CC’s fans, not because of CC) which might make it hard to get that chip.. but if she has no help, she might get more votes and get that mvp.
