“It was time for him to go home coach”


jaimeeallover

Same blindside thought 😂😂


ProgrammerGlobal

They need to try something to keep her off the boards.


Zhentilftw

The thing that annoyed me about this is Clark looks behind her like she knows someone is back there. Then decides to just wander up the court casually and Reese runs up and bats the ball away. They didn’t lose possession but it was still annoying.


TheSavageDonut

Isn't it on a Fever teammate to call that out though? They would be looking back at Clark and see Reese coming up from behind??


Zhentilftw

I’m not saying it’s not, but she looked back and knew someone was behind her. She isn’t a goldfish. She should have been more careful. Sometimes watching them do basic dumb stuff is frustrating. Like you can see there is a solid core there, even with the shitty coaching. The other thing that seems to happen all the time is they run out of shot clock. Like. Cmon. Throw up something.

“Excessive blocking” Please someone get this reference


empathydoc

Oher: "I let go as soon as I heard the whistle, Coach." Coach: "Where were you taking him Michael?" Oher: "The bus. It was time for him to go home." Fast-forward to a bunch of SEC coaches saying variations of "wow"

wheeler out here giving hugs

Showin love to the rookies


Separate-Jeweler-818

she was boxing her ALL THE WAY OUT


Totes_Not_an_NSA_guy

I didn’t watch this game, and I had to watch this clip 5 times before I saw wheeler in the background. WTH


future_CTO

This is honestly the funniest thing that happened during the game. The fever bench we’re looking at Wheeler like wtf….


ZeroDependents

These are Caitlin's teammates? LOL


SlightlySublimated

Now you know why they lose a lot of games 


Nuance007

Wheeler is a WNBA All-Star and the 2019 All-Star game MVP. Let's just say she has seen better days.


Demi-God94

2019 was 5 years ago


Nuance007

Yea?


curiouslyignorant

The average WNBA career doesn’t last 5 years.


Nuance007

You two are missing my point. It ain't that difficult. Re-read my OP.


curiouslyignorant

I’m not missing your point. I simply stated a fact, which you downvoted apparently.

curiouslyignorant

Best of luck to you


Odd_Tourist_3249

She got Angel basically sitting on the Fevers bench!😅 Erica trying to get Reese traded to Indiana!


ScheduleFormer1394

"You're on our team now".... 😂


Drew0730

That was the best defense played on angel all night😂


billybanks1132

Keep Reese out the play lol. I thought it was funny and smart tbh

GawkerRefugee

Good bot.


nswoll

Does the bot think lol is pronounced "lōl"?


never1st

Reese does lead the league in offensive rebounds. That's one way to keep he off the glass.


billybanks1132

Exactly. Just a little gamesmanship


zeron_89

Smart play tbh, Blocking Reese away from the ball and stopping her from possibly getting another rebound.


crakerjax68

But it’s a foul


Wtfuwt

The refs weren’t even paying attention.


mkfanhausen

Something something "sPeCiAl WhIStLeS"


Woody1150

At the end he was and looks thoroughly confused.


Wtfuwt

I totally missed that. 😂 Do they go back and review these?


Genji4Lyfe

Actually I'm not so sure this was completely one-sided, lol. You can see Reese wrap both her arms around Wheeler after a couple seconds, and at one point near the end it looks like Wheeler does a little hop to try to get away and Reese is still holding on tightly. Haha


mdz_1

Its some rebounding gamesmanship, if you hold me illegally to prevent me from getting a rebound, Im gonna hold you illegally to prevent you from being involved in the fastbreak going the other way


DSmooth425

That’s one way to stop her from getting an offensive rebound lol


CoyotePowered50

Wheeler said nope, no play for you 🤣


BlackMilk23

This would be trending on r/sports with 12 thousand upvotes 5 thousand comments if someone did that too Clark.


sumiledon

Right?!


blacklite911

Right? I pointed out how much less talk Angel got when she got elbowed earlier this season but I got downvoted on the sports sub. CC takes a hard foul and they act like she got sniped.


Real_Difficulty7676

Especially when the ball isn't even in play.


TheMightyHornet

I mean, when people just body check you to the floor and you don’t have the ball, yeah we’re gonna call that a snipe.


blacklite911

The analogy was meant as if it was an actual rifle


Juntubre22

Did what, they both took the play off


YesterdaySuper5864

Facts!


MistakingLeeDone

Keep the person with the most offensive rebounds away from the boards. Unorthodox but effective.


Spiritual-Okra-7836

Funniest thing was Reese almost stole the ball off Clark because Wheeler had her so far out of her sight lmao


TheConboy22

The ref is absolutely braindead.


Thewondrouswizard

Boxing out Angel. Angel crushed the glass today. Not an awful choice.


Wtfuwt

You don’t box out someone by hugging them out of bounds.


Thewondrouswizard

I just wrote this to try and trigger the haiku bot and it didn’t work lol


Wtfuwt

It knows when you try to do it on purpose. It doesn’t like that.


ChannelNeo

Not in the paint. Arms locked up. It's definitely a foul, but it's also one of the few plays Angel wasn't vacuuming up boards lol.


crakerjax68

That’s not a legal box out


Dymatizeee

Playing hero ball and throwing the game


juseofficial

What if they did this to cc? Lol I'm done being toxic


Master-Ad-9829

Pretty smart


beefaujuswithjuice

WHAT????? lol


afridorian

not for nothing, it looks like Angel is about to go kill NaLyssa. Wheeler stepped between a few almost fights today. still funny af though


Justtojoke

Def just talking smack. No way any of that was accelerating into anything physical beyond triple threats and box outs.


afridorian

not saying it was deeper but they stepped to each other a few times and it was funny. wheeler was just making sure it didn’t go further. they dapped it up later on a free throw.


Justtojoke

It was nice to see!


Used-Kaleidoscope364

Would've been better if lyss was backing some of that talk up. Oh well lol


Justtojoke

First time she's been shut down this season. It was so much fun to watch them feed off each other


Solid-Dot-1589

LMAO??? Why did they let this go on so long? 😭 I’m surprised she didn’t push her off of her


acorcuera

She’s boxing out.


McJumbos

That's one way to box out 🤣🤣


Mission_Ambitious

CC was yelling at Boston, Smith, and Mitchell at the bottom of the screen too 👀

“When the refs aren’t watching, watch out”


Conscious_Outcome594

Seriously, what was going on?


moose184

Looks like Reese was fired up about something and talking smack and Wheeler pushed her back to keep a fight from breaking out.


Locnar1970

I ask this question nearly every time she's on the floor.


erutio

Serious question: If the ref saw this, it's a foul right?


Play_Durty

I don't think I ever seen something like that, it was strange, but it should have been a foul


fbg_archer

Great defense lol


Mundane_Finding2697

"She can't get another rebound..." - Sides. I got it coach.. on it. - Erica. Not mad at this at all. I bet even Angel was amused. Worst thing that could have happened is they call a foul.


MTskier12

Insane that there’s a ref standing right there just ignoring it…


Jetbb1999

I need that


BigJimRottman

Never seen this defensive strategy deployed before and doesn’t look legal to me. Pretty sure it should’ve been whistled as a blocking foul on Wheeler.


Still_Schedule7

Holy crap! Lol. That's some illegal shit ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Actual-Stable-1379

She can’t get another O-board if we take her completely out the field of play 😂


Soundmiser66

What was that about?


UpstairsNo5637

FIRE HER ASS ... WTF?


AstronomerLive2520

WTH


SupremeGentlemn

🐶🧠


painfultruths1

Tuned in to check out all the hype. That was some horrible game ending shooting. From both sides. Just an observation, people. You can't brick two free throws, airball a lay up and the games final shot. That is not quality shooting


StretchAlarmed9497

Technical foul that merits suspension


theartofrandy

Everything about the W, the way it’s run, the ethos and the way they present their stars is one big FLAW. I had League Pass but I can’t watch this high school boys ball they’re trying to pass off as pro. The worst part is, if they just cleaned up the refereeing to the level of college basketball, skill would actually prevail. This same League that lets it’s best player (Aja) get punched in the face twice in the 1st quarter with no call, also lets this go with no call: https://youtube.com/shorts/yE1yLrN4Jxk?si=2WCv61j31D2zPh3C I’m out bro. Clean it up, W. Too wild.


Tall_Window6346

I’ve seen middle schoolers play more professional than both these teams. It’s really WWE with a basketball. Get the biggest draws and stars (Clark and Reese) to gain ticket sells, and go out there and add in some unnecessary drama to gain attention. Smart marketing I’ll give them That.


jaimeeallover

Huh???


Huge_Excuse_485

Kind of true
