Cloud is both an all-time joyful court presence and self-assured enough never to be messed with. He couldn’t have harassed a more sympathetic figure. Give this idiot a lifetime ban from WNBA and MNBA. No hand-wringy half measures. He came to disrupt the game and succeeded.

Clark is on a great 10-game run. She's also a minus defender. Averages 4.7 turnovers per game, 1.1 more than any WNBA player. (That key stat left out of this article entirely.) Her 35.8 three point % is below average.

This has been such a huge success. Seems clearer and clearer that we should drop the hurdle-filled, more expensive bike bridge idea and triple down on the water shuttle — with extended hours and a second/third boat as backup.
