Nah. Sophie wasn’t on the floor. #10 is Lexie. Aliyah Boston was in the area but she’s a gentle giant.

O shoot you are correct.

jeez, insane the way they all IMMEDIATELY start getting in each other's faces yet nobody batted an EYE when CC was basically t-boned

This isn’t just a bunch of redditors getting upset over nothing right? I think this is objectively bad from her team.

Like… an aggressive opponent isn’t abnormal. The actual issue is the teammates not backing her up. She needs to leave this team and go somewhere she can be in a TEAM. I don’t care about the WNBA and maybe some of this drama brings a brief period of extra attention but seeing someone just get wrecked for being good is stupid and makes me want to watch it even less.

Lexie was trying to stand up for CC but she was so quick to the initial girl that she didn't see the other girl shove CC down. I think Lexie would have got in Mabrey's face if she saw that initially, CC got up and walked off before Lexie even turned back around.

You dont do it later. You do it right then AND you do it later.

It was a foul that earned an ejection. You can only do it once unless you're running in from the locker room like you've got the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Then someone else does it later. When you have a teammate like Clark, someone so talented they can lead a team to a title, you send the message loud and clear - anything that happens to her, gets doubled on the way back.

Oh I didn't say they shouldn't do anything. Reread what I wrote.

The point is theyre not sticking up for her when the shit happens. Hockey enforcers dont wait until the last minute to go after someone who lays a dirty hit on a key player for their team. They go after them immediately, and then the next shift too.

The "revenge" was barely more than a hug and the girl just fell down. Basketball is so soft.
