Don’t know if anyone has been watching any of the WNBL which started the week on YouTube but watched a game on Thursday (Jewels first game worth checking out on replay if just for fun half time chats with Lauren Jackson and Alanna Smith) and now watching Perth Lynx and Georgia Amoore now.

The entire live chat is just gambling chat. Like literally no chat about the game at all just people, mostly men, talking about hedge bets and lines to bet and then shitting on the players when they aren’t getting them their money.

I know it happens in the W too but it’s not as extremely obvious and depressing with the WNBL that it is literally all anyone’s talking about, especially when the game has been really good. Mystics fans you should be pumped about Amoore, she is gonna be so good.

We’ve seen a bunch of players in the W and the MNBA too say the abuse they get from gamblers because they miss a FT or something and it’s just so gross.

You’re never gonna separate sports from gambling but these WNBL games have just been so offensive. Last I looked 800 comments and I would say 750 of those are gambling relating.

Edit: Added context of games

Atlanta Dream Finals Anthem

You don’t thrive in other areas

Kiah stokes is not an offensive factor but she brings other factors rim protection, rebounding, physicality, etc

Naz hillmon is a good defender but there is nothing else in her game that justifies her playing 30 minutes.

She’s not blocking a bunch of shots, shes only giving you 4 rebounds in 32.5 minutes and offensively it feels like you’re playing 4v5 on offense because she’s not skilled enough offensively to make a difference.

GS is putting very intense pressure on Angel, rhyne and lish because naz isn’t a factor.

I’m not saying she’s the reason we lost obviously the jacking 3s was

but this GS team is just too good defensively to have to carry her weight on offense.

I think if we don’t play Bonner or Okot soon we are in danger of being swept

• Love seeing these connections 🥰

EDIT: Forgot the pic for Janelle Salaun. Please see below.

Thought this was interesting given ESPN’s role and how many of us on the thread don’t like seeing the sports gambling commercials.

I realize there are gamblers among us and who I am to judge 🤷🏻‍♀️

But there is rare discussion of critical perspectives of sports gambling by athletes, commentators or key networks.

Are WNBA "all in one" advanced stats listed anywhere; like EPM, DARKO, LEBRON et al for the MNBA?

Long time coming. Glad for her and to be able to tune out the fakes. She seems rested and ready for game 1.

What a roster. Still insane to me they couldn’t pull it off, I’d argue they’re much better than any of the Liberty’s “superteam” rosters since 2023.
