Candance Parker takes a jab at De’Aaron Fox during City vs Fever OT Game last night: “Aliyah Boston elected to not take the layup and dribble the ball out”
The funny thing is, if Boston makes the shot at least it becomes a two possession game as opposed to Fox who would have kept it a one score game even if he made it
Yeah, I wouldn’t even blame Boston for taking the open layup here, but burning the clock is still the better option even in a situation up 3 (and guaranteeing points cause you might fumble the lay or get blocked)
Fox did not want to take the free throws thats really what it boils down to.
He thought he would make the layup and prevent having to go to the line with all that pressure. If he had an easy way to give the ball to a teammate he would have done it
I think thats giving him too much credit. I think, he got an open break away and muscle memory told him to just go to the rim. In that 4 seconds idt he was contemplating having to shoot free throws or time management.
I think he got the ball and just went right to the rack. Probably didnt realize his mistake until it was blocked and the knicks where rebounding
I’m of the same mind, and it’s pretty characteristic of him to get tunnel vision when he has the ball and thinks he can get to the rim.
Probably didn’t think OG was that close or that he’d get an AND 1 and at worse a foul call
yeah, but OG was like right on him. its that confidence as one of the league’s fastest
True I also believe it was a foul based on the way they call games. But you gotta box out at the end of the game
Hopefully they play Harper more next game. lol
he basically let the refs decide when he couldve guaranteed the foul. refs arent calling fouls like that in the clutch
which is so dumb…because as one of the leagues fastest, id be curious how much time he could have run off if he was able to sneak under the hoop and past OG before eventually getting fouled. he got blocked with what 11.something seconds left. he probably could have gotten it down to 7 or 8 seconds and gotten two free throws.
Nah I think he just made a bone headed play freethrows or not.
A lot of the Mike Brown - Fox drama in Sacramento was over Fox’s late game execution.
He’s always been like this
“Making another refrence to last night?😏” … no response LOL
shoutout michael grady lol
I was watching this with my wife yesterday and was just like “I can’t get any peace rn”
As much as this is a jab at De’Aaron Fox, it is also a jab at Kelsey Mitchell, who missed a layup with just over a minute left in regulation, trying to score in a one-on-two transition situation rather than pulling the ball back out and waiting for support/burning time.
yeah, Fever were up 19 in this game and Sky forced OT because Mitchell went for a layup and lost the ball with 6 seconds left
Mitchell spent the whole game trying to give it up to Chicago, luckily Boston and Clark went for 30&10 each
Generational fuck up
Can Dance Parker?
she might
Basketball terrorist
If the layup is free here it’s 100% better than getting the ft’s.
Why she’s tryna stir up things?
A WNBA game that they scored more than 60 points
Amazing
So what you’re saying here is you’re a dummy…
This motherfucker still in early 2000s
It’s actually absurd how rapidly the quality of play in the W has improved over the last 5-10 years. So much more enjoyable to watch these days, and better and better players keep coming in
The uptick in women’s training and the games continual international growth
their games are shorter tbf
5 people probably heard that burn live
Imagine if the refs had called the blatantly obvious foul on OG’s non block (he hits 0% ball). Instead we get this kind of shit lmao.
blaming refs after blowing a 29 point lead 😭
Another spurs fan who doesn’t know the rules
L2M report said it wasn’t a foul I believe.
I mean they lie in those sometimes. There was a ton of body contact before the block and Fox still had the ball in his hand when OG hit his arm. If Fox was taking a jumper and there was that amount of body contact, literally everyone would say it’s an obvious foul
Marginal contact
He absolutely got the ball first wtf are you taking about
I can’t believe the refs blew a 29 point lead
Cry more.
She didn’t elect shit. She lost the handle, as they often do in WNBA.
she doesnt even look at the rim on the drive. she was trying to dribble it out
It looks like she’s trying to dribble straight to the hoop?
She can’t dribble AND look at the rim at the same time. It’s WNBA.
All these women would dribble circles around your lazy ass
This is so attractive of you
/s (because I’m sure you definitely need it)
