What’s up with Boston? Looks extremely ordinary. Over rated?

Nah, absolutely not. She has elite footwork and touch. She's very good and has a high ceiling for growth.
I wouldn't let that game be an indication of anything really. The Sun are a veteran team with tough defenders. They're no joke. The Fever are a bunch of kids. It's gonna happen quite a bit this season lol
Yeah, you pick that up from the commentators re: the Sun. I honestly didn't remember her name, but remembered reading about Thomas w/the 3-way MVP voting results. Knee jerk upon viewing...the W equivalent of Ben Simmons had he stayed healthy and fulfilled his potential (even a rough looking shot due to her shoulder).
I'll trust Boston has the elite traits you call out, but TBD if she will effectively use them? To be fair, she's young too, only 2nd year and I think all the unrealistic expectations for Clark also spill over to Boston when you put the two #1s together.
Overall, I wish the Fever would've stopped trying to make so many awful lofted post entry pass attempts from the middle of the court. So many turnovers off that. That's crap a h.s. coach would ream you out for, so bummed to see that so prominent at this level.
Seems like the refs call more travels in the W than a whole NBA season. Though insanely lame on them for whistling Clark for 2 Q1, soft, ticky tack fouls. C'mon.
Watched a bit of the next game, and it's a good reminder that the Fever were one of the worst teams in the league last year and got CC for a reason. The talent gap really stands out watching them and the champ Aces b2b.
Side note: A lot of my posts/comments will be in the form of a question since I've never followed in any detail beyond the top headlines which aren't that many except the finals. Here from the Clark and rookie class effect, plus I'm on a strike that I expect to go on for years where I'm just done posting about my team in the league because they are run so poorly. So more support of the W it is!
