    So help me out here..... why is scoring so low in the WNBA? They only have two 20+ ppg scorers in the entire league. If you round up they have 5 players averaging close to 20+ ppg.

    Is their pace lower? Not as many shots at the NBA? The NBA had 34 players average more than 20 ppg last season.

    Looking at it, their highest scoring team averages 40 points less than the top scoring NBA team. Every NBA team averages almost 20 points more than the best WNBA team. So how can the WNBA increase their overall scoring?

    The NBA is getting up more shots. Cleveland averaged 26 more FGA per game.

    I'm not a fan of his for the same reasons. I think men and women are different about these things, and I think that's part of the difference you see there.

    Is Chris Paul friends with everyone? Are there a bunch of Chris Paul fans running around claiming he's the greatest and would prove it if only people weren't so mean to him?

    I just think it's a different situation. Clark isn't Chris Paul. People aren't going to treat them the same.

    The only player that doesn't flop in the NBA is Lebron James.

    Once again, not like that. Not with the whiny attitude. Not making it personal with the opposing players.

    Shit she even flopped when she ran into a bystander. It's the attempt at creating drama that is the problem. The circus unrelated to basketball.

    WNBA plays 40 minutes, NBA 48. PER 100, NBA FGA per game ranged from 94-86. WNBA is 90-82. But overall, the pace of the NBA game is faster. Mot likely due to better athleticism. And a different style of game for sure

    Yes. I'm making fun of Clark fans complaining that there is defense and the defense doesn't want to let her score.

    Get the fuck off my lawn.

    Lol

    Looks like their FGA numbers are pretty close to men's college basketball.

    They use a smaller ball and same rim size as mens obviously so it technically should be easier to get the ball in the basket right?

    Valkyries have a French player named Ilana Rupert. Anyone know if she is related to Ryan?
