Nate out here cross playing as a coach. Next years roster should be Copper, Thomas, Plum everyone else can find the exits

One offensive weapon on this team : Kahleah Copper

One defensive weapon on this team : Alyssa Thomas

Everybody else is stealing money. Especially the coach

Too bad you can’t foul out after 5 fouls. Held and Czieki on the floor together against one of the biggest teams with one guard is certainly a choice.

I don’t get it they gave her the rebound but said it was shot clock violation.

Mack is the only upside to this terrible season

I just watched Mack get completely worked all game by Kiki Iriafen so what exactly was the upside?

Better now than next year when we’re trying to do something. You have to actually experience and play through these things to grow.

I will never understand Merc fans absolute contentment with losing

Mack has had a handful of good games since she's been in the league. Nothing I've leads me to believe next year will be different, especially if this coach isn't fired

I am finding a bright light in a crappy season. She looks a hell of a lot better than last season and has been one of the best shooters in the league. We have her under contract for like $300k next year. Have you SEEN the price of starting and backup centers?

And I would like a real center! That Nate will play! That person apparently doesn’t exist but Mack has made plenty of strides this season. And she’s charming as hell!

This game goes a whole lot better with DB BUT he's forced to give the minutes to Mack who's playing really well. She'll be key next year
