One thing I love about the #WNBA is that I enjoy watching everyone perform.
I'm working on a personal Top Ten list, but it's too long for the format here.
Given the shit show we're seeing at 1600 PA Ave, I can understand the anger. I just wish it didn't spill over into this beautiful space.

I started an Atlas subscription recently
They ship the coffee on the same day they roast it. The beans are so fresh, they haven't reached their peak (10-20 days after roasting, right?) when I get them
So I have to wait a week before the coffee is "right"
Am I missing something?

I'm fairly ignorant about female bodies, specifically, and medical stuff in general.
Are there folks here that can explain to me why women basketball players (seem to?) get so many ACL tears?
Is there anything they can be doing to avoid these injuries?

We all want to pay our #WNBA women what they are worth. But the other side of that (multi-sided) coin is what we, the fans, must pay to go to games.

The Real USC ( #UofSC, last night's victor over Southern Cal) was called for traveling a lot!
Were #NCAAWCBB refs influenced by all the hilarious memes of men travelling during bball games (4, 5, 7 steps!) and are now going to enforce this original Naismith rule?

The 13 Original Rules of Basketball
In 1892, Dr. Naismith wrote out the 13 original rules of basketball. QHF looks at how the rules and game-line markings evolved.

The natural color of wood is beautiful, for sure.
But, ...
Natural wood floors make the players look terrible. And the Gamecocks are wearing all black, which makes it look even worse.
It's not traditional, but painted grey floors make the players easier to see.

I approve: Right-coast USC vs. Left-coast USC.
If only it was so easy to have the winner be "The Real USC" for a year. My USC (in Columbia, SC) has been fighting this losing battle for my entire lifetime.

This is the Right Coast SC’s first real test on a non-conference schedule that isn’t quite as aggressive as it’s been in years past (although still more aggressive than most). As far as I’m concerned it’s the first meaningful look at the new-look Gamecocks. #NCAAWBB

Basketball is best when there are lots of assists, IMHO.
Last night's #MNBA Spurs@Bulls game was assist/FGM = 69%
This puts it squarely in the range, for assists of an average #WNBA game.
If this continues, the men's pro bball might, someday, be as good as the women's pro bball.

I dream that someday my #UofSC Gamecocks will be recognized as THE USC.
Yeah, yeah, the folks in LA invented this acronym in the 50s, & their lawyers convinced a judge that LA's USC deserves the acronym.
But Columbia's USC started in 1801, and LA's USC started in 1880.
And I can dream.

What are the factors they use to sort the players into teams in #Unrivaled??
Do the coaches pick them like on the playground?
Do Phee and Stewey make the choices?
Maybe Ellie the Elephant should do this job!

Is there any way to taste-test coffees from different grinders? Spending $400 based on the taste buds of YouTubers (or you guys!) seems risky.
I suppose I could order several at once from Amazon and then return the ones I don't like, but that's a little sleezy.
