I’m no CC fan, but are we sure this isn’t 500 missed shots and 500 of getting her own rebounds?

Caitlin has almost 900points lol and she’s got way more assist. The only thing angel does good is rebound. They always post misleading shit like this it’s weird.

Angel Reese records another double-double in loss vs. Mercury

Angel Reese delivered a solid showing in the Chicago Sky’s loss to the Phoenix Mercury, notching her second straight double-double and third in just four games this season. However, her efforts weren’t enough to help the team snap its losing streak.

Speaking after the game, Reese offered a straightforward assessment of the Sky’s rocky start. The former LSU standout expressed confidence in the team’s offensive capabilities but emphasized the urgent need to tighten things up on the defensive end to turn their season around.

"It felt better, but we're not satisfied. We're all winners. We all want to win," Reese said, as quoted by Sky reporter Karli Bell. "We can see we can score. We just need to defend."

Although Reese finished with 13 points, her shooting struggles persisted as she went just 3 of 9 from the field. However, she made up for it with a well-rounded performance, stuffing the stat sheet with 15 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.
