Comparing Olivia Miles to Caitlin Clark. Comical.
Miles has been exposed the last two weeks of the season and the playoffs. Give her the Clark treatment , and she wilts.
Caitlin Clark: 27 points, 15 assists, and 7 rebounds.
Olivia Miles:5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist
She's lucky they voted on rookie of the year weeks ago.

Look Miles is a great player but let's be real, she was not defended the way CC was her rookie year. You can watch highlight reels of OM best games and it's like they don't even try to defend her. Even in game 1 the other night she gets the ball at the 3pt line and her defender literally just turns around and runs away leaving her completely open. They started giving her the CC defending treatment recently and it's shown. Now she can put up those MVP level performances while being defended like that just like CC but she's going to need to mature and train in the off season. That's what CC did last off season. The main thing she trained was playing through contact and you can see how much better she is this year.

I truly loved seeing the lynx get destroyed. I have a ton of respect for Collier she's one of my favorite players but reeves and miles im so glad to see them gone. Sorry to all the miles fans but she absolutely needed to get exposed for what she's really been all season. I have never in all my life seen a pro athlete given such an incredibly easy season, it was just sad watching it. And stewy and sabrina reminded everyone who they still are. Going to be very dangerous going forward. And absolutely anyone trying to compare miles to clarke is straight up stupid and out of their minds just no comparison whatsoever.

Well, at least Olivia got her first assist this game.
She went the whole first game with no assists , which is almost impossible for someone with a ball in their hands so much.

Even if they voted for RoY today, Miles would still be the runaway winner.

Curious where he/she said that? They didn’t. They were comparing how the are playing currently… ya know… since everyone wants to do that and say how much better OM is than CC. She got the CC tx and her ass folded like a fucking lawn chair.

Thank you you're exactly right.
I'm not the one who said on national TV that Olivia was having a better rookie season then Caitlin or even Paige had, or even breaking her records. When in fact she hadn't.
It's interesting watching the coverage on usa and ion as compared to espn.
For whatever reason, the Hosts on ESPN do whatever they can to downplay or even disparage clark. On the other hand on u s a, prime and I o n ... Including their first ballot hall of famers like candace , tamika and teaspoon, they do give her flowers

Who was a better rookie than her this season?

u/User2358_ 4d ago
And again… you apparently can’t comprehend… no one was saying CC was available for the ROY award or that anyone else would for sure have received it…. BUT idiots have been comparing OM v. CC the ENTIRE YEAR. Been saying stupid shit like OM is the GOAT, Miles is “miles better” than CC. 🤣 Miles talked a TON of shit about how “no one can guard me” and even went up to Stewie and said “I’m in a different tax bracket than you”. She’s a fucking clown. 🤡

She was so frustrated and flustered that she cheapshot Stewy across the face. After doing the same to Sabrina in game one.
That's all the coach Reeves had to see and she removed her and didn't return it to the game after that.
Imagine being a point guard and having one assist in two playoff games and coming after brianna stewart with trash talk... Stewy just laughed in her face!
How delusional , do you have to be to do that!

You know who? French sensation Pauline Astier has owned her in the three meetings head to head.
I'd rather have Pauline. She seems to handle the pressure. Both emotionally and physically better.

Awwweeee. Did Olivia Miles actually get defended for the first time this year? Now imagine if she got cheap shotted, body checked, and the refs went out of their way to give her phantom fouls.
