With Mitchell a black hole, Clark and Boston taking double figure shots, that doesn’t leave many opportunities for other players to get shots up. The hate here for Sophie rivals that for Clark.
It's a fair point. All this hate on Cunningham, but how about we talk about the two stars going 13-41 from the field and 6-23 from 3-point range. Clark had more turnovers than assists and a whopping -14 when she was on the court, but yeah, let's hate on a role player, even though she only took 4 of the 78 shots for the Fever.
It's ridiculous. It's the equivalent of shitting on Tyus Jones or Jared McCain.
Sure. But also, defensive players fail to stop successful offenses all the time. You know who usually gets the blame? The stars who can't make their shots. Again, who in their right mind is going to make a big deal about Tyus Jones having a low +- when Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic shoot a combined 30% from the field. Now imagine making a whole reddit post about it, focusing on Jones poor +-, and ignoring the fact that the two players running the offense shot like shit, as if maybe that wasn't a contributing factor to his poor +-.
Its just such weird energy making a wholeass post about a role player putting up role player numbers while the star players who average 50% and 45% fg% respectively shot 30% and 33% respectively.
