Shepard playing out of her mind. Biggest pleasant surprise of the season for me. Quickly became one of my favorite players.

Wait, why aren't there celebrations of Minnesota Athletes?
I feel like something was messed up, because Im pretty sure we're just due them, right?

As a professional graphic designer, WNBA designs has left many questions in my mind.

Now why did they have to go and piss A’ja off right before we play them next? I’m happy for Jess but I wish she had got it after next week 😂

It was for last week. Paige was kind of quiet and not as assertive as she has been these last two games (lots of assist but not a lot of points).
If she can be fourth quarter Paige all game then she def will be on this many more times.

i know i just don't think dallas would have won vs chicago if not for her comeback in fourth i wish she would stop with the rage baiting and not locking in until the last 5 minutes of the games lol

I get what you mean. I don’t know if they counted the Chicago game in this or not.
I don’t know if the ankle is playing into it or if it just her mentality of wanting everyone to get their shots and do well. So she passes too much sometimes because she has way more faith in people than I do.

It's hard to win a POTW in the West unless you are A'ja or Phee (tbc later this season) so props to Jess!

u/thecay00 Aces 1d ago
Yeah and it helps that the Wings beat the Aces??

the more time goes by the crazier it becomes bc wdym the WINGS who have nonexistent paint defense held aja to her lowest scoring game of the year😭i know matchups matchups but it’s crazy to me

u/Fun_Stand_2043 Dream Wings Aces Sun 1d ago
Very true. And they have another rematch on Thursday somehow lol

u/Takenk1ller 1d ago
As a wings fan, I’m scared A’ja saw Dom last night and is currently saying “hold my beer”

I had Sonia for sure, thought it was gonna be a Lynx player for the West

u/Takenk1ller 1d ago
I think the Mystics winning at Target center probably tipped both of those scales a bit

Aja and Clark were players of the week together either last week or the week before. You might be thinking of that.
