Made three 3s from way deep in 38 seconds. Insane

Trail Blazers fans understand 🤝🏾

Bad shots for anyone else.

I mean they are but she’s just like that 😤😤😤

Found the Paul George burner account

u/Firecracker048 Jun 15 '25

I mean, they are. But if she can make'em, takem

This is outdated thinking. Best shooters in the league have the green light, especially when they're stepping into a shot in rhythm when they're already feeling hot.

It’s a Paul George reference

u/slapsheavy Jun 14 '25

She shoots 34% from three, that isn't particularly good.

u/pokexchespin Jun 15 '25

being able to hit those shots with enough consistency that teams guard you that far out does wonders for your spacing

u/slapsheavy Jun 15 '25

If she gets to Curry volume from super deep it'll force teams to run a box and one. That pretty much negates any spacing issues.

Then give her a Klay.

If it’s so easy to defend her why hasn’t anyone done it yet? A dozen highly paid coaches for each team none of them thought of that yet?

1

u/slapsheavy Jun 15 '25

They know how to defend her. The Fever were a .500 team last year.

Caitlin is a turnover machine, she's a clear number one in that stat. Almost double the TOs of the next 9 highest turnover players in the league.

She shoots a pedestrian 34% behind the arc, teams let her chuck and win.

u/swaktoonkenney Jun 15 '25

Are you for real? They were one of the worst teams in the league 2 years in a row, then she comes in and they’re .500. They started 1-8, then they figured it out and finished 19-12 the rest of the way

Yeah she led the league in turnovers, she also led the league in assists. Her AST:TO ratio is good. You don’t get those easy baskets without risk

2

u/slapsheavy Jun 15 '25

A good turnover ratio for guards is 2.0, she's a 1.5. far from elite in that stat.

She's 34% from three while shooting these threes.

Anecdote: Steph, Seth and Dell - only 1 has not led the league in 3pt%. Steph. Still, he is regarded by many as the best shooter of all time.

In short, % isn't doesn't always tell the full story.

-2

u/slapsheavy Jun 15 '25

Steph is a career 42.3% from behind the arc with these threes.

That's the 13th best of any man that has ever touched a basketball.

In short, deez nutz.

u/Effective-Pressure36 Jun 14 '25

Entire game stat for those who actually watch was 49%.

1

u/GemAfaWell Jun 14 '25

That would actually place her as a slightly above average three-point shooter in the WNBA. Only the top five teams in the league have a team wide shooting percentage over 35.

u/mileylols Jun 14 '25

idk man I just saw her shoot 100% from three

u/bennnn42 Jun 15 '25

Flat joke. If it even was one

u/solidrok Jun 14 '25

More points in 38 seconds than Reese gets in a significant amount of full games.

u/Tyranicross Jun 14 '25

What is it with Indiana players hitting crazy 3's against New York

u/CountOff Jun 14 '25

This some prime Klay / Skyfucker type of feeling it's giving me watching it

u/beneye Jun 15 '25

That’s prime Stephen curry depth

u/YT-Deliveries Jun 15 '25

She's better at shooting 3 than I am at getting up off the couch and getting another soda. And I'm damn good at doing that. Been doin' it my whole life. I'm twice her age and she's still better than me!

u/Cmdr_Nemo Jun 15 '25

She and Curry should have a business child together.

u/LengthinessAlone4743 Jun 15 '25

100 feet of shots in 38 seconds*

u/cargyelo Jun 15 '25

Ball is smaller, rim is not as men's height so not that insane. She is amazing for current standards though
