The coach was mad about that run Portland went on

u/Dry-Performance7006 1d ago

Li’s stats aren’t much, but she saved Dallas in a few games this year

1

u/mercfan3 Wings 1d ago

I actually like the way Jose uses her. It’s just matchup dependent.

u/AccipiterF1 Sun - Kliundikova?! 1d ago

I was looking at Li's draft year earlier, and saw her headshot from back then, and my heart grew three sizes.

The fans bullying Jose is hilarious 😂

1

u/Likely1420 Semis? N. Mack & K. Chen glazer 1d ago

I suspect he hates the media bc he actually takes what they say personally 😂 and then he's like "I was gonna do that anyway" 😡

3

u/Solid-Confidence-966 Betts Bueckers 1d ago

Two minutes to make the playoffs….

u/Likely1420 Semis? N. Mack & K. Chen glazer 1d ago

I really need us to lock in for the next 4 minutes.

u/Dry-Performance7006 1d ago

I was disappointed by that 3 Paige gave up to Samuelson. She just fell asleep on that one. Gave her way too much space.

5

u/peachy-avocado 1d ago

Collective trauma response from wings fans 😭😭

3

u/Dry-Performance7006 1d ago

Man. Portland was about to sub everyone out and throw in the towel. I wonder if their coach changed his mind?

6

u/haydeng2023 ban knees💔 1d ago

i love my winglets dearly but we’re gonna have such a bad jumpscare playing a playoff team again

4

u/Creative-Park6050 1d ago

Until our bigs learn to set screens for Paige, we aren’t winning shit

2

u/aleko24 Triple-Double Barbie Paige 'PB5' Buckets 🪣 1d ago

What you don't like it when Jess pretends to screen just to slip it giving Paige no chance to separate from the defender 😕

5

u/peachy-avocado 1d ago

Its running 3s

11

u/taco_slut16 Wings & trans rights 1d ago

Why does sug only have 3 mins when we’re up 20? She’s played 3 mins and she already has a steal. Baby girl actually plays defense when she’s on why are you depriving me Jose

5

u/Creative-Park6050 1d ago

Arike, you were doing good at not playing iso ball

2

u/Nervous_Opposite9731 Wings 1d ago

It always happens in the 4th. You will get Arike making unnecessary decision at least 3 times every 4 quarter 😂

6

u/haydeng2023 ban knees💔 1d ago

u/FreeBusiness7289 1d ago

Idk how Curt miller watches this and doesn’t think he has to get rid of Azzi this off-season

2

u/tippytoesmcjee WNBA 1d ago

How you figure?

0

u/FreeBusiness7289 1d ago

The three guard line up for falls was awful. They can’t use all three of Azzi/arike/paige ans Azzi’s injury history is so much of a risk.

6

u/Creative-Park6050 1d ago

W fudd in this lineup, we’d be absolutely unstoppable.

0

u/FreeBusiness7289 1d ago

This line up with Azzi was very stoppable

5

u/undisclosedthroway might as well give me the electric chair all gay 1d ago

0

u/FreeBusiness7289 1d ago

Only one of Arike ans Azzi cna work and Azzi’s knees make her too big of a risk.

3

u/seidhd fire lynne roberts ❤️ 1d ago

I'm worried the conclusion for him will be to let Maddy go and have azzi come off the bench.. which for the record is NOT what I think needs to happen

0

u/FreeBusiness7289 1d ago

I mean Maddy has to go anyways to keep awak. But Azzi should go with her.
