That’s okay! I was trying to be clever because I am a Jaden McDaniels fan account. (It’s him).
Defense appreciator. Put Cheryl in charge of the Wolves (and everything else)

Someday there will be a great book to be written about how Barack Obama chose to spend his post-presidency pursuing the private accumulation of capital rather than participating in the defense of our democracy in any meaningful or personally costly way.

I’m thinking out loud. Maybe this should have been a Jewel Lloyd skeet. Either way, I would have kept Plum.
Jaden McDaniels State Penitentiary (@jmcdanielsstpen.bsky.social)
I think Chelsea Gray is extremely overrated. Cheryl had to bench her for….Kelsey Plum….in order for us to bring home the gold in Paris. Then the Aces traded Plum.

Almost more scared of the Storm than that team we beat by 50.

Was mentioned with regard to Wilson, but I feel like it is generally true that the Volleyball background many WNBA bigs have helps them contest paint shots without fouling. One of the only NBA players I see go up straight with two arms is…who can guess?

Just for all of those who are deeply invested in my takes: Diggins is who I wanted us to trade Courtney for.

I am getting concerned about A'ja Wilson's exceptional play, the Ace's dramatic turnaround, and the Lynx being meh lately. Not great for Phee's MVP odds.

I’m just watching the game now. Masha ripping Paige at the top of the key was extremely Rudy Gobert coded.
Jaden McDaniels State Penitentiary (@jmcdanielsstpen.bsky.social)
And maybe more to the point—I’m glad he’s not 3.5% percent, because his body would be fucking shutting down and he wouldn’t be able to play an NBA game, let alone 82.
Jaden McDaniels State Penitentiary (@jmcdanielsstpen.bsky.social)
I’m sorry, but anyone who knows anything about body composition knows that Anthony Edwards is not 3.5% body fat. Bodybuilders are not even 3.5% on stage.

Rigged officiating or not, there’s no way the Lynx lose the finals to the punk ass Liberty with Jess Shepard on the team.

We will probably lose if the Fever shoot 80% from three.

There are a lot of reasons I don’t like Kyle Theige, but this is pretty exemplary: Making a joke about Britt not being able to pronounce “Beringer,” right after he mispronounces “Joan.” Fucking idiot.

I think Rob’s fans view his potential as Allen Iverson with a three ball. I see his *ceiling* as an NBA version of Natisha Hiedeman.

I was triggered because last night I saw all the same tendencies from Courtney that—in my opinion—were one of the top reasons we lost in the Finals last year.
Jaden McDaniels State Penitentiary (@jmcdanielsstpen.bsky.social)
Also, did we forget that McBride is on the team in that fourth?
Jaden McDaniels State Penitentiary (@jmcdanielsstpen.bsky.social)

I feel like if you put Cheryl in a room with Ant for 10 minutes she could get him to remove his head from his ass. Then again, I don’t think he respects women who aren’t members of his family, so 🤷♂️

While they are more talented relative to the league, the Lynx also display a level of seriousness and professionalism that the Timberwolves simply lack.

Blocking Ionescu twice in one possession (Alanna Smith) is my love language.
