New York has the best record in the WNBA, and Indiana is 8th. The game was in Indiana.
Anyone who is sleeping on Angel Reese though, is wrong. She has a league record 12 double doubles, and is leading the whole league in rebounds. When Chicago played Indiana a few games ago, Indiana was leading by 15, and had a 12 point lead late in the 4th quarter, and Reese took the team on her back and won the game, leading both teams in points, as well as rebounds. Clark was fine that day, but Reese outplayed everyone on the court.
Wasn’t Angel Reese one of the thugs illegally fouling Clark and no one suspending or even ejecting the thug from the game?
Until the fists fly, the rivalry is good for the league. The rivalries of the 1970’s is what marketed the NBA.
“Triple double” used to be my nickname for Larry “triple double” Bird. The hick from French Lick (Indiana).
Clark is certainly in trouble now.....
Good for her, but I’m still not watching.
She will make an awesome addition to the Olympic team.......oh yeah that’s right.......somebody has their head up their ass
It is funny how the press focuses on first. There is generally descriptors as sex, race, sexual preference, age, and so on.
What is the big deal? I can get a triple double at In-n-Out any time I want.
Almost half of Reese’s rebounds are offensive rebounds, usually after missing her own layup.
Well, there’s many saying Reese is such a poor shooter she’s usually collecting rebounds from her own shots. I saw a video compilation making this point.
That said, I’m no expert on BB...especially WNBA.
How many guards make double-digit rebounds? WHY is a guard making rebounds? That’s the only way she can get her hands on the ball is to get it herself!
I watched the game today and have watched several other Indiana games. To me the most impressive thing about Clark’s game so far is her passing and assists. She sees openings and makes passes few players, female or male, ever make. She’s third in the league in assists with 7.1, and that average will likely climb if she keeps having these 10+ assist games she’s had recently.
Of course, she also makes too many turnovers, but she’ll probably reduce those as she gains more and more experience playing against bigger and quicker opponents. Overall she’s a very talented, all round player and enjoyable to watch.
Have watched more WNBA this half-season than in all the prior history of the league.
Well she’s just awful… How dare she when you have all these amazing POC players. She should have just stopped… /s
A double-double really isn’t that great of an accomplishment in a basketball game. It usually means that a player scored at least 10 points and also had at least either 10 rebounds or 10 assists. A triple-double is, of course, a lot less common of an accomplishment.
Just so strange to me that people watch a game where a good high school boys team could destroy these “professionals”. Some people are such suckers for narratives and feel good storylines.
Reese only has many rebounds because she rebounds her own missed shots.
Now, that is good, but if she made them she wouldn’t have to rebound them,.
As Charles Barkley said, she needs to be making them.
What is a Triple-Double?
There are five major individual stats in basketball:
Points
Assists
Rebounds
Steals
Blocks
All box scores will display these five stats for every player in the game.
A triple-double is achieved when a player has double-digit stats (at least 10) in any three of these five major statistical categories.
Example: 10 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.
