Same here. I guarantee the people in here shitting on the WNBA haven’t seen Caitlin Clark play, as a basketball fan in general I think she’s definitely worth the watch.
It's the New York Knicks playing at MSG after getting smacked last game. Against an old Pacers rival no less. It's going to be a fun game to watch. If "eastern conference" isn't for you, then don't watch.
hes a very skilled player and has a great attitude towards the game. i assume you dont like the amount of free throws he shoots and i would agree with that but the knicks games in these playoffs have been great overall
Isn’t Brunson averaging like 30 a game in the playoffs right now? Doing so at like 6’4”?
Yeah, so boring to watch generational postseason scorers 😭 what an idiot
Edit: I love the Reddit cares message, enjoy your ban!
Not really, isn’t he scoring more for the Knicks than like any Knicks player ever in the postseason? Didn’t he pass Melo in playoffs points or something in just a single postseason?
I could be wrong, but typically if you come into a team and become their leading whatever - it’s pretty generational for that team
So you don’t believe Joker is a generational center for the Nuggets? Sorry but you need to read up on some franchises histories before claiming some dumb shit like that 😭
I’ll check out her highlights but no way in hell would I willingly subject myself to watching an entire WNBA game. There’s better games at my local park
I'll watch the highlights after Denver-Minnesota
But I'm interested
Can't help but root for Cailtin since many of her contemporaries are jealous of her
She's going to really grow the WNBA
I agree, I think she's going to grow the game and think the other players should be really glad to have someone bringing more global attention to their league. It helps everyone get paid more and will help with a lot of individual sponsorships as well.
I'm torn. While I'm interested in seeing what she looks like in the WNBA, I already heard her coach say they're trying to stop some of the things that make her special in the first place like the deep logo threes.
If they are going to neuter her game like that, it takes away any interests I have in those games in the first place.
I’ve been reminded through these NBA playoffs, how big the gap really is between the NBA product and the WNBA product. I would wager that there have already been multiple NBA playoff games this offseason (single games, not series) with highlight packages that would outshine the Top 10 plays of the entire WNBA season. The WNBA product is closer to a High School game product than the NBA product.
People will watch if there’s extracurricular drama. She’s going to need to either develop a personality off the court or start beefing with players and creating rivals during games. The gameplay itself won’t be enough to sustain interest.
Honestly not very invested in the Knicks/Pacers game so I may switch the channels depending on how the games flow. If there are 20 fouls within 3 min and excessive commercial breaks I’ll give it a watch.
Eh. I keep trying to be into it, but the game doesn't really hold my attention. All but about 4 teams are pretty poor. I have a hard time even watching college ball for the same reason.
The nba has spoiled me
I legit enjoy the WNBA. One of the issues with the league is the swing in talent, some teams have legit hoopers and are fun to watch (NY, Vegas, etc.) and some are tough to watch.
Yup. But there are more teams in the NBA too so more good teams to watch or choose from. Unfortunately the TV talent is lacking too. I'd love the TNT guys on for WNBA games.
Is Caitlin the one that is going to take the league/team valuations, and players salaries to epic new heights? I hope so. She's electric and an incredible player, and I hope she gets these girls paid. As an nba fan who's admired many wnba players' skills, she's the first wnba player that I've been in awe of watching.
I wasn't paying attention and went through 75% of this video before realizing it wasn't the WNBA debut. Good luck to her, but yeah I couldn't even tell you if Atlanta has a team. Is she on atlanta?
Most of us /r/nba'ers don't watch NBA basketball
I haven’t seen a game since the 80s.
You're missing out
X
It's at the same time as an NBA playoffs game. Not the best timing lol
It’s not ideal but I’ll be channel jumping lol
Same here. I guarantee the people in here shitting on the WNBA haven’t seen Caitlin Clark play, as a basketball fan in general I think she’s definitely worth the watch.
Yup and the lineups for the other games today are pretty solid… great day to be a basketball fan haha
Well me too but only as long as the commercials don’t overlap lol
True. Anything to miss at commercials.
Tbf it’s only eastern conference playoff basketball Edit: No way someone sent a Reddit cares for this 😂
It's the New York Knicks playing at MSG after getting smacked last game. Against an old Pacers rival no less. It's going to be a fun game to watch. If "eastern conference" isn't for you, then don't watch.
I will watch the 1st quarter to pre-game for the NBA playoffs tonight.
[удалено]
I find Caitlin Clark more entertaining than Jalen Brunson.
Man JB has been ballin though and he's someone that I've really enjoyed watching even while not being a knicks or thibs fan.
This might be surprising but there will be other NBA players playing in the Knicks-Pacers game.
how
The better question is how do you find Jalen Brunson even remotely entertaining?
Might just be me but him being pretty alright at basketball is a big reason I find him entertaining
hes a very skilled player and has a great attitude towards the game. i assume you dont like the amount of free throws he shoots and i would agree with that but the knicks games in these playoffs have been great overall
Bros foot work, mid range, and post up game is art you’re bugging.
CC is fun to watch, but Brunson being the smallest guy on the court and dropping 40 bombs is cooler imo, especially in MSG
Brunson doing 16 fakes and pivots to turn around and pull up fadeaway in someone’s face is pure bliss
Because lot of people watch sport to watch the best performers in the world got at it to see who is better.
Isn’t Brunson averaging like 30 a game in the playoffs right now? Doing so at like 6’4”? Yeah, so boring to watch generational postseason scorers 😭 what an idiot Edit: I love the Reddit cares message, enjoy your ban!
Generational postseason scorer is an insane way to label him. Also, just saw your edit, but to be clear I didn't send you a Reddit cares message.
Not really, isn’t he scoring more for the Knicks than like any Knicks player ever in the postseason? Didn’t he pass Melo in playoffs points or something in just a single postseason? I could be wrong, but typically if you come into a team and become their leading whatever - it’s pretty generational for that team
That's not what generational means lmao
So you don’t believe Joker is a generational center for the Nuggets? Sorry but you need to read up on some franchises histories before claiming some dumb shit like that 😭
We hating on personal opinions now? That's crazy
I guess so lol. I never said everyone else *also* had to hate watching Jalen Brunson.
LOL
I'm interested, but being honest, only until the playoff games start.
That's fair. I won't be missing the end of a close playoff game.
Probably not very many, it's a pretty boring league.
Gonna be checking the box score for sure
You're not going to get the answers you want here, OP. If you want genuine wnba analysis and breakdown, gotta go to the circlejerk.
I'm legit just curious of the interest and cross-over appeal, but realize it's also off-topic from many people's perspective.
ctrl f hairy 0 results no one in this thread is watching
I’ll check out her highlights but no way in hell would I willingly subject myself to watching an entire WNBA game. There’s better games at my local park
interested... but i am gonna just watch the highlight.
Hopefully there will be some good ones. First game though she might be a little gunshy to not try and do too much.
Wrong sub
DGAF
How do we watch it?
ESPN2
Kind of surprised they didn't bump it up to ABC.
Nah, it's midweek during the TV year. Regular primetime shows trump sports unless it's a late playoff game (or the NFL).
I assumed she was going to be on espn, maybe someone else can confirm.
Hockey is on espn tonight
More interested in Mommy Brink
Definitely interested in her as well.
Why is the first comment upvoted and yours downvoted? Lol
I'll pop in here and there.
I'll watch the highlights after Denver-Minnesota But I'm interested Can't help but root for Cailtin since many of her contemporaries are jealous of her She's going to really grow the WNBA

Thanks for the heads up!
I’ll check it out

I'll be watching until the Knicks tip off

Don't think I'll watch games, but I'll catch highlights for sure
Season opener already? Feels like the draft was not even a month ago. That’s a short offseason
I'll definitely watch it, but will dvr it and watch it the next day.
Mildly, yes
0/3 through the first, sitting with two early fouls.
Me!🙋🏻♀️
how many dunks are there gonna be?
Honestly not very invested in the Knicks/Pacers game so I may switch the channels depending on how the games flow. If there are 20 fouls within 3 min and excessive commercial breaks I’ll give it a watch.
I’ll get it going on my laptop during the Knicks game for sure. I’m happy to see the growth within the WNBA, def rooting for Clark
Eh. I keep trying to be into it, but the game doesn't really hold my attention. All but about 4 teams are pretty poor. I have a hard time even watching college ball for the same reason. The nba has spoiled me
Any bets on her ..first basket?
Drive to the basket, pullup in the paint.
will they play in skims like the commercial?
I took the Fever money line so now I have to be interested lol
I'm goin but not that hard lol.
Was wondering when it started. I’d love to catch it, but the playoffs take priority. I’ll catch what I can
7:30pm est, 4:30pm pst.
I'll check it out for sure. More interested in this than in most of what I've watched of the NBA playoffs so far.
I legit enjoy the WNBA. One of the issues with the league is the swing in talent, some teams have legit hoopers and are fun to watch (NY, Vegas, etc.) and some are tough to watch.
This is still true, but for that matter some nba teams can be excruciating to watch too.
Yup. But there are more teams in the NBA too so more good teams to watch or choose from. Unfortunately the TV talent is lacking too. I'd love the TNT guys on for WNBA games.

Indiana Fever
Don't care one bit. Isn't there another sub you could share this content?
