    2024 WNBA Playoffs

    The biggest take-away for me is that they HAVE to use the NBA's replay center for reviews instead of the refs in the arena doing it going forward. Not only is the reply center faster, asking refs to review their own calls is like asking a student to grade their own essays.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    10 assists in 30 minutes should terrify the league.

    2024 WNBA Playoffs

    context: I was rooting for the Liberty and happy they won. The WNBA needs to be using the NBA's replay center yesterday. It's faster and it isn't that game's refs reviewing their own work.

    Sox will unveil a City Connect 2.0 uniform in 2025 with the current ones replacing the blue alternates

    I forget what the exact record is, but it's stupid good. And the players really like the yellow unis so more power to them.

    2024 WNBA Playoffs

    She was drafted a few years ago but stayed in overseas until this year. I don't know the exact mechanics, but my sense is that the WNBA has similar draft and stash rules for foreign players as the NBA does.

    In New York = WCBS-AM 880, abandoning all news format, going to ESPN radio

    In somewhat related news, ESPN has ditched the FM market in New York, effective the first of this month. I was confused when I put the station that is normally ESPN on in the car on Monday and got pop music. https://nypost.com/2023/09/19/espn-new-york-ditching-98-7-fm-signal-in-2024/

    2024 Tennis

    Francis shouting out a favorite actor of him and his girlfriend (and I'm guessing it's more for her than him) being in the crowd post-match is hilarious.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah I had to laugh at the blatant stat padding. But whatever, pretty sure any record involving double/triple doubles involved stat padding along the way. Also, lol:

    The WNBA: Thread II

    I think a lot of beefs got resolved during the all-star game.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Team WNBA winning doesn't just benefit themselves as competitors who want to be on the next Team USA, it also benefits Team USA because it reminds them they have to take every opponent seriously. All-Star games are best when there are stakes for the players involved (baseball: pitcher doesn't...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Youtube says that video isn't available in my country (US) but I looked up some other highlights of her and what the actual hell.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah despite a rough shooting afternoon Cam Brink is going to be awesome. Also thrilled for Kate Martin, who went from not sure she would be drafted to looking good in big minutes for the Aces today.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    There was one play in particular where she drove to the basket, a CT player saw her coming, and just completely laid her out where I was like "Oh, damn. She got her money's worth on that foul."

    The WNBA: Thread II

    A new record for turnovers in a debut! She'll figure it out. The Golden State expansion franchise will be The Valkyries.

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    I knew viewership was going to be big, but just wow. I wonder 1) how much of that audience sticks around next year without Caitlin Clark and 2) how much of that audience follows Clark into watching the WNBA. I really hope the fans that sold out arenas across the midwest now become dedicated...

    NCAA Men's Final Four Thread

    OK, that was really impressive. I don't really follow men's college basketball - how many of these UConn guys are going to be in the NBA?

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    The women's final got moved from Tuesday to Sunday in 2017, and then last year for the first time it was broadcast on ABC and managed 9.9 million viewers so is unlikely to go anywhere for the foreseeable future.
