Thread: what did the Atlanta Dream do to hold Olivia Miles to 50% shooting/0 assists?
ATL started with Rhyne Howard on Miles. When Miles was able to iso Howard, she was effective, scoring twice and drawing two shooting fouls on five direct isolations. (1/many)

@josiahcohen.bsky.social should gsv have adjusted and gone over screens on Miles or were they right to *think* she'd regress to the mean?

Portland Started the Fire
Three distinctive tactics: ram screens, three across, and defensive pressure have the Fire rising.

I think Geno Auriemma is one of the greatest coaches, in any game.
But he was in the wrong with his tantrum at Dawn Staley at the end of UConn’s loss to South Carolina.

“I never want it to be Geno and Dawn, Geno and this, Geno and that… I’ve tried really, really hard over the years to not make it about that ever again.” That was Geno Auriemma on Thursday. So where was that on Friday? Column from Phoenix:

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.
Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.
They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government
