@@bernardyoung3107 Idiot typical for CC fans who only support CC and not her teammates. Boston was selected because she was the former ROTY, Won a Natty, represented the US in international play.

AB was a little disappointing so far but it it's very apparently taxing for the bigs, they have to run the most , end-to-end when theyre already at a disadvantage for being fast. I see Dolson excelling cuz she doesnt need to run full court, being a real threat on the 3's. For me the disappointment was with Katie Lou's offense 😢, i think she gets exhausted playing D on a team with too many players missing.
I was comparing her to Dolson when they played each other the other day wondering why such a difference between the two. It is encouraging that these skills may be a growth opportunity for Aliyah and if she gets better she can take them back to her Fever game!
These people did not get where they are without being alpha competitors. I'm sure there a e a few who are slacking but as a competitor once you get on the court, you know nothing but winning. Do you slack often? I doubt it, but if you do, don't project.
Both Aliyah and Angel are really good players. Neither are going to be leading superstars. Definitely will both contribute to winning teams. And since when has Aliyah said “people watch because of me.” Angel brings the heat on herself with her big talk.
Angel cant miss a single shot while players thats been pros for 3+ years are shooting >30%. The criticism isn’t even about basketball anymore when it comes to AR
@@Copterman What players say about themselves should have nothing to do with expectations of a player. If the #1 pick doesn't talk him or herself up, but the last pick in the draft talks about how great they'll be, should I throw scouting, player history, projection etc out the window based on the player's words: Of course not I would be concerned if a professional athlete didn't have a healthy ego. I remember Jeff George, QB for Colts and several other teams never seemed to have much of an ego. He also couldn't take charge of a team and lead it to victory despite having every other quarterback tool.
She faced Griner and Dolson who are big bigs and both did good , AB need to fight more and create her own space let see if she ajust in the upcoming games
I want to address the general topic of money-grabbing or players slacking. These women are alpha competitors. You do not have a job in a group of only 144. Imagine being one of the best 144 of anything in America. They have a competitive edge that got them where they always work on their game - or they're out. Once they get on the floor it's all about winning because that is what they have done their all life - with the exception of a small percentage. Just like in any profession.
Her first 3 games have been rough, but I think she’ll figure out a way to make it fit her game better. Agree that it’ll be good for her development in the long run. She needs to use these games to work on her mid-range shooting. At least she’ll be in better shape for the Fever games.
Mick was commenting on the unrivaled game between Boston and Reese. They were standing right next to each other And it was clear that the two are about the same height,, but it looked as though Boston was slightly shorter than Reese. Mick commented on it. I was watching the game on TV and I have to agree with Mick.
Things could change so fast with more playing time. Just the other day you were saying Lexie Hull wasn't made for this league. She gets a little more playing time and suddenly she puts up 19.
1. Where did I ever say angel sucks? She's had 2 okay games and 1 awful one but she's been fina so far, better than Aliyah 2. Do Angel's fans not constantly talk about how she was a point guard in middle school as some sort of relevant point in 2025?
@@MickTalksHoopsAngel Reese was a point forward at Maryland, LSU put her at Center and chased her game, She was versatile to switch and become a Champion and she’ll get back to that, but it’s a work in progress and won’t take only 2 months.
@@MickTalksHoops I'm an Angel fan, but it pissed me off seeing her take all those 3's in practice. Angel could be an All Star for the next 10 years and never take another 3 pointer, but she's got to get better at layups and inside moves.
I've always said, I'd trade AB for Reese any day, we need to get those rebounds on Caitlin's misses. AB too soft on the rebounds, Angel a dawg on the rebounds.
She's a heavy set girl with slow feet, and no vertical. Plus, she is soft and out of shape. She will never be a hard body, or high energy. The run and gun style of 3 on 3 might get her in better shape for the start of the WNBA season though. They're paying her well to practice and get some cardio. Can't blame her or anyone else for playing. A well paid vacation while getting in some reps.
She should not be anywhere near the 3 point line! Unless she's back there and ready to back door cut and go to the hoop. She does not need to be shooting 3s
She is way overweight and she struggled last year if u watch close she's slow in the paint she fouls a lot her offense is simply slam into someone than shoot she don't rebound she's not what they made her out to be
I'm ok with 3x3 not being Boston's game - she is getting some cardio in and should show up in shape to the Fever. I wasn't expecting her to dominate. Is there a big who is dominating? It ain't Britney Griner.
Boston and Nalyssa could both be in shape which could be a big boost as it took 1/2 the season for Boston to get in good shape and Nalyssa never really did.
The Indiana Sun stuck Boston with Keith Porter for development and she's doing the best she can with the least they would spend. She'll keep working and get help outside of the league.

She's making bank. She's staying in shape and will still be able to work on her future career in broadcasting with the timeframe of this league.
And she has one eye on the past and the other on the future. 😂
She needs to be in Indiana working out with CC and the coaches. She’s still too upright.
Still soft on both sides of ball

Sorry, but I watched Boston play all year, and still trying to figure out how she was the #1 pick
most draft classes in the 2020's were very weak. hers was the second worst of the decade.
It is better to spend the off season to open up your skill set
Boston is too slow and lumbering for Unrivaled. The style is uptempo and fast. That's not her game.
According to Reese fans 4 points is MVP level talent 😅
According to Caitlin fans 4 points is trash level talent
Reese fans still lobbying for her to be ROTY in Unrivaled😂
U sound dumb , Reese average 12pts a game and 11rebs , Boston 4pts a game and she's far soft ans overweight and a bench warmer
Mind you Caitlin had multiple 4 pts games. And she shoots 3s
@ lies. she had one 3 point game. her second lowest was 7. hi hater
You a lie Boston is 6'5 Reese. Is 6'3 ans hamby is 6'4 and Boston is clearly taller then them stop lying

One of the reasons I like Unrivaled so much is it doesn't privilege the bigs.
Her lack of foot speed and lateral movement on defense is really being exposed by Unrivaled.
AB will surprise you how she will adapt
Her teammates really don’t want to pass her the ball
She has no sense of urgency. I wouldn’t either in this format. She just looks lost

Next week Boston plays against Naylssa Smith. I wonder who wins that matchup.
I think Nalyssa Smith might just be a lot better 3 v 3 player, because she gets abused in the paint by any decent big.
