    I don't know about that but apparently it was a 190% increase over last year's play-in game, lol.

        I’m completely over the whole WNBA bs and them acting like they are treated so poorly. Lost money every single year they’ve been in existence yet want to complain that it’s all about people being sexist. The league trying so hard to not “look” sexist is the only reason there is even still a league. You think if a mens league of anything lost money 30 years straight that plug wouldn’t be pulled? They’re being treated special if anything to protect the NBA league PR.

        Draymond called them out and then they clapped back “well if we got the same TV time slots” and all that.. they might have a point to a small extent, but what TV station would willingly pull something that gets views and makes them money for something that doesn’t? I get so fed up with the whole “poor WNBA” crowd just completely ignoring all forms of common sense.

        Shaq said they should use lower rims (volleyball uses lower nets) and they got all butt hurt about that too.. not that I think an extra dunk here and there would really help their views anyways. WNBA has done studies on their viewership and they can’t even draw in their own demographic. Young female athletes as a whole don’t watch the league, it’s just never going to be that in America IMO.

        As someone who has casually watched WNBA basketball over the years I’m just fed up at this point. I’d quit my job and play basketball tomorrow for half their median salary. There, I got my rant in. I think that’s all within in TOS rules too.

        I’ve seen more people wear those popular orange hoodies they dropped last year than people actually discussing a WNBA game.

        Most people only care about them when you’re having a discussion about getting rid of it and the few that do care aren’t watching more than 2-3 games out of the year.

        It is possible to support their league and also know it’s a waste of money and it’s not going to get any better.

              It's just a trend for real. Nice way to show support . But nobody watches it.

                To be clear, the quote about the WNBA was taken from this ad:

                If you think the WNBA is the problem. Think Again. Enjoy the games.

                  Curry for 40ish with Green triple double

                  Grizzlies need double-double full JV and JA. Jackson needs about 4-5 blocks

                          If Memphis advances gonna be interesting to see Valanciunas go against Gobert, he is so big. Green tried to guard him in the post and JV was bullying him.

                          Let them bang.

                            Gobert sons JV usually. Forces him to shoot about 10% worse than his average in H2H. JV still gets his, IIRC he was at around 14 and 16 against Gobert, but Rudy dominates both ends of that matchup

                            Grizzlies are also really dependent on scoring in the paint. Led the league. Gobert is notoriously great at shutting down the paint lol

                              Turnovers early..

                              This is by far my favorite thing **** basketball when it gets serious. Teams start selling all out on players weakness. Ja Morant defender has been going under the screen for a few weeks now. He's started 2-2 from 3. Let's see how long this last.
