WNBA Picks

[thomorino]

This Thermaflu is a real special one for sure. Wearing the dunce cap once again.

It means teams have to adjust to a shot blocker!!! Thus it means everything!!! Boy you take stupid to a new level.

I agree with morino

Just because she blocks shots, alters shots and secures the rebound, therefore ending the offensive possession of the opponent, DOES NOT mean she is a good defender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't watched a WNBA game in years..
Maybe they changed the rules and it's just a big game of H-O-R-S-E now?

marino cheating on day #2

wonder what took him so long?

I’m going to speak slowly here so these dumb shits can follow. The way defense works in basketball today because of this thing called the three point line is perimeter defense is far more important than rim protection, and if you are too fat and slow to defend on the perimeter protecting the rim means nothing.

You said it pretty clearly the first time...

Rebounds is not a measure of defensive ability, neither is blocks...

Wrong, again. It’s all important.

[thomorino]

No I’m not wrong, dumb shit, look at the rim protectors in the nba, drummond, deandre Jordan, they have almost no value now.

Are you trying to say that teams in the WNBA shoot better than 40% from 3pt range?
That still leaves 6 out of every 10 to be rebounded ( if they can hit that 40% #)..
The perimeter game you say? Hmmm
Maybe you should be a professional coach also..
I bet you just stumbled onto something game changing..

Holy crap

The WNBA is a perimeter game like the NBA????

No wonder you can't win any bets, you have never actually watched a game

Fricken hilarious

MORONO- dragged around on a Sunday night.

[Bostongambler]

You are comparing the nba to the WNBA???? If the WNBA has a gem rebounder and shot changer it’s huge. They don’t have the deep shooting like the nba has to deal with it, nitwit.

[KVB]

Nice, at least it's some good sports talk in here.

Morino teaching us what not to do, in a way.

I don't even mean that offensively.

4 dumb shits. Basketball is smaller and played more on the perimeter at every level, including the WNBA. Cambage could not guard on the perimeter at all.

5 dumb shits. You forgot yourself.

[KVB]

You can't even take a compliment.

What you said isn't totally wrong and is right in certain situations. Just don't underestimate the ability to protect the rim in some games.

Whether it's the NBA or the WNBA, there's almost always more to the story.

What was the Chicago/Vegas line move about? I didn't look at much of WNBA today at all.

[mjsuax13]

MORONO, what’s that NBA thread looking like? When are you getting back into it? That thing funded multiple vacations.

Now you say centers should go out to the 3 pt line and guard..
Interesting..
Tell us more..

What do you mean basketball is smaller?
If it's played more on the perimeter that would open up the game more..
Not make it smaller..
Are you talking about it being smaller than football or baseball?

[veriableodds]

THOR give up man ..

More dumb shits. Everyone has to guard on the perimeter, it’s very easy to make a team switch a pick and roll.

It's too bad defenses haven't adjusted for that...
Your saying that a center's responsibility is to defend the perimeter instead of the box..
Good to know..
How is basketball smaller then?

[Bostongambler]

You are all over the place Thermaflu. It was a smaller game when they would pound the ball inside over & over again. It’s sooo much wider and opened up now.

Add that to your stupid take on rim protectors and rebounders not meaning anything in regards to defense.

The game is more wide open because it’s faster and smaller dumb shits. The Warriors won 3 titles playing draymond green at the center position.

That's your rationalization for big men being obsolete?
Those GS teams were not the norm..
Had 3-4 guys that could drop 30-40 every night..
That's an anomaly..
If it wasn't for Green blocking shots and pounding the boards they would never had as many opportunities on offense..
If you think this is how every game is played, regardless of the talent, then it explains why you have to fudge your records..

[juicername]

Shaq would stand no chance in today's NBA. J.J. Barea would run circles around him out on the perimeter.

Oh and nice record keeping Morono, lol.

Correct. Ben Wallace a total loser that stands around the rim too.

3 dumb shits.

I never said dominant centers have no value, I said the value of the rim protector is gone now, this is why players like Drummond and DeAndre Jordan have no value now.

Have you seen how much money Drummond makes? You are truly the MORONO.

[mjsuax13]

Just focus on that nba fade thread Johnny Law.

[thomorino]

Yeah he’s grossly overpaid dumb shit, why no one wants his contract except dumb shit franchises like Cleveland.

Stick to trolling dumb shit every time you try and make a point it’s embarrassing.

LOL. Going rate pal.

[thomorino]

LOL. Going rate pal.

No dumb shit, his contract is well above what current market value is, which is why he opted into the final year of his deal rather than testing the market. Look at deandre Jordan’s contract too, it’s nothing compared to what he got before.

[juicername]

Anyhow, how does this even relate to Beaver ball where they probably shoot 35% from the inside on a good day? The value of an amazon swiping defensive boards must be huge in WNBA.

WNBA 3 point line isn’t a far as the nba dumb shit.

[Buckandadime]

WNBA 3 point line isn’t a far as the nba dumb shit.

And he asked, how does it relate to the WNBA?
Because it's a shorter shot is not a very good debate..
The best team avg last year for 3pt % was 36% in the WNBA..
The value of a big woman on your team that can rebound, block shots and score is far higher than one that can make 3/8 shots beyond the arc..
It's simple Basketball arithmetic..
