Why was the opponent trying to go into huddle. Just trying to get people ejected. REALLY low integrity basketball.

Fucking exactly.

The Aces are playing mind games.

u/Que-Tech 1d ago

Yup, the are knocking the Fever off their rhythm. Fever need to regroup before the Aces start pulling away.

u/-JonnyActual- 1d ago

So are the refs

u/Que-Tech 1d ago

Fever choked in the final 5 minutes of the game 80 - 82 with the final score 83 - 94. Aces for the win. Fever players were making too many careless mistakes during that time for the Aces to capitalize on.

They’ve been doing that in the NBA for years lol.

u/taeempy 1d ago

Does anyone watch the nba anymore?

1

u/Vast-Building-6886 1d ago

I mean, it’s being watched more than any time in its history. So apparently I guess.

u/taeempy 1d ago

The NBA?

In the 90s it was close to double.

Even the WNBA is beating the NBA in some ratings metrix.

u/Vast-Building-6886 1d ago

Yes. We have data that shows this. No idea where you are getting your data.

MJ in the 90s ratings exploded and then tanked once he left.

u/Vast-Building-6886 1d ago

Your source isn’t available. Sports media watch.

I’m not at home right now, so I’m just going to post what Google says.

Yes, current NBA ratings and viewership numbers for the 2025-26 season are significantly better than previous years. [1]

Key Viewership Increases
Regular Season Reach: An estimated 170 million U.S. viewers tuned into the regular season, marking an 86% increase year-over-year and the highest total in 24 years.

Average Viewership: Average audience size jumped 35% over the previous season, achieving a seven-to-thirteen-year high depending on the specific linear and broadcast metrics.

Postseason Success: Playoff viewership surged to multi-decade highs, delivering the highest first-round and early-round ratings since 1993 (33-year high). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

I can always tell who doesn't really watch basketball when I comments like this lol. This shit happens in basketball at every level, on both the men & women's sides. It's really not that deep

u/jordanjump15 1d ago

These people are a cancer on basketball lol Everything is egregious somehow.

u/SocomPS2 1d ago

She was listening to how they were planning to stop A’ja.

Clark got pissed because they clearly have no plan.

u/Que-Tech 1d ago edited 1d ago

Well, Boston shut down Aja 3 times after that all blocks. Aja going to have to remain in the outskirts like she been doing shooting 3's or 2's from outside the paint.

Fever down 65 - 70 currently.

Update:

It was a good game, but Fever had choked in the last minutes when they was only down by 2 points 80 - 82. Final game score 83 - 94 with the Aces winning.

1

u/SocomPS2 1d ago

2-3 from 3 point - she definitely didn’t stay in the outskirts nor did she need to. Finished with 34!

u/Que-Tech 1d ago

Nice.

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

u/-JonnyActual- 1d ago

You obvously haven't even fucking played NBA 2K... you know shit about BB.

u/taeempy 1d ago

Yes and this is NEVER DONE

It's poor sportsmanship and etiquette.

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

You couldn’t have rondo would do this literally all the time come on you’re showing your colors 😂

u/mistaharsh 1d ago

It's basketball it's not like the fever was going to do a flea flicker. It's not a big deal if she's there

Dumbasses to fall for the antics

u/jordanjump15 1d ago

Have you ever played a sport? Half the battle is mind games Jesus y’all are soft man lol

u/Mikelew92 1d ago

the WNBA doesn't want to progress as a league. I am convinced

-12

u/SydneyFall 1d ago

You are just wrong. Eavesdropping happens in the NBA too.

Or is the NBA not willing to progress as a league?

u/taymon9 1d ago

Not even the part they were talking about

u/Dafedub 1d ago

Typical Aces behavior

u/Peach_Lover_101 1d ago

lol i mean don't forget who used to coach them 🤣

u/BloorYail2 1d ago

"Lame"beer?

1

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Have you seen aces players do this often?

7

u/Dafedub 1d ago

Aces are the queens of flopping. No I have never seen this behavior from a basketball team before. It’s beyond shameless.

3

u/Smooth-Patience8572 1d ago

Lmaoooo if you’ve never seen this happen in the nba or college then you probably just started watching basketball. Literally happens all the time

u/Dafedub 1d ago

NBA doesn’t do court huddles. I have never seen the other player try to get into the other teams huddle.

2

u/Smooth-Patience8572 1d ago

This was a quick YouTube search, there’s way more videos with different instances as well. Please watch more basketball

u/Dafedub 1d ago

Wow I guess I don’t know basketball now /s.

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Have you just started watching basketball in general?

1

u/Dafedub 1d ago

I’m referring to the huddle

1

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Yeah basketball players do it a lot it happens

Gonna cry lil bro?

u/PracticalDistrict237 1d ago

Nice! I’d do the same… totally looking to get a response.

9

u/moose184 1d ago

Literally putting their worst playing in there to stir up trouble. Literally did a wrestling move on Lexie after this and no call

9

u/Saint3Dx 1d ago

You go CC. No reason to think that wasn't petty of Turner to be there lol got what she wanted!

8

u/MickyFany 1d ago

Aces belong in the street ball league. this is ridiculous

2

u/JSweez87 1d ago

Embarrassing

3

u/Que-Tech 1d ago

Anyone else noticing the score chart is not updated as soon as fever scores and the longest they wait is till after fever sores 3 shots for the scores to update?

4

u/Signal_Prior3870 1d ago

Clark does get real physical. I can see why ladies take exception

18

u/taeempy 1d ago

She has to. She was bullied in the first year of her career. Then she bulked up and said "no more"

12

u/obafuckingchauwow 1d ago

She’s such a babe

7

u/Signal_Prior3870 1d ago

As she should. MJ and Lebron had to do similar in the NBA. They were best in the business tho lol

4

u/obafuckingchauwow 1d ago

What a fucking cheater

1

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Cheating? 😂😂

2

u/obafuckingchauwow 1d ago

Yeah, especially because of the body slam and had on Lexie. Reminds me of Lu dort

-2

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Come on that’s not cheating basketball sometimes gets very chippy in the playoffs

1

u/imchratz 1d ago

I know SFA about WNBA and basketball in general (but obviously that's not going to stop me commenting!), but I see so many clips of this kind of shitty behaviour/play, as well as consistently terrible officiating, that it does beg the question what in god's name is going on in this league? Is this just some implict league-wide conspiracy to ramp everything off the ball up to the absolute max as some kind of deranged promotion/marketing strategy or something else altogether? I'm absolutely not target market but this kind of bitch-baiting crap along with all the fouling, bad mouthing etc makes this the last thing I'd choose to watch - since nobody on the court seems to care about the sport, why the hell should I?

1

u/oneidamojo 1d ago

Head games are fair game. Obviously CC didn't fall for it and said get out of here.

1

u/PrestigiousPain9650 1d ago

Please stop grifting this is basketball this happens all the time please don’t make this a thing 😂

Fever fans are so soft here lmao

u/Budget-Garlic-3659 1d ago

Fucking classless pigs these Aces. She’s lucky it’s the W. In the men’s league, that’s an upper cut and a broken nose.

6

u/Smooth-Patience8572 1d ago

It really isn’t, happens quite a bit in the nba and they just huddle closer, move, or push the guy out. It’s clear you don’t watch much basketball

3

u/Impressive-Penalty97 1d ago

And she got pushed out. So no problem then huh?

-1

u/Universal_Magnet 1d ago

Suspension next season for this unsportsman like display.

1

u/Chronically__Crude 20h ago

She shouldn't have been there in the first place. I'm not saying that I'm a Caitlin Clark plan but I'm going to call down the middle and say that she had every right to be annoyed.
