It’s a fine reference point but it leads to narrative driving while ignoring full-picture context. No stat is perfect but don’t use +/- as anything more than a first glance. #wnba23 Aug 2026 12:18 +0000at://did:plc:kpwhldfxutpxgrimsvs2vber/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtqrjpnhis2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelwaterloo.bsky.social/post/3mtprd4qurs2hIzzy has to make those bunnies23 Aug 2026 02:42 +0000at://did:plc:kpwhldfxutpxgrimsvs2vber/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtprd4qurs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelwaterloo.bsky.social/post/3mtpnus3z3k2iWatching Sparks and Sun with both teams eliminated in late August #wnba https://static.klipy.com/ii/e293a233a303a98e471f78d04e13a1b0/0d/0e/0ziA4WB1.gif?hh=498&ww=498&mp4=YWQI8OZyPr7K3d&webm=ini3L9MRP497vtwj2y23 Aug 2026 01:40 +0000at://did:plc:kpwhldfxutpxgrimsvs2vber/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtpnus3z3k2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelwaterloo.bsky.social/post/3mtpnbfhrqk2pI asked Atlanta Dream head coach Karl Smesko if there was an update on how Bri Jones is progressing & if the expectation is that she will return to the court this year.

She can give Caitlin fits defensively and switch with the bigs.

I think both have merit to them as long as there is reasoning and it’s sound. I try to strike a balance. It’s an individual award for the most complete and dominant player but success matters.
