It was another hard-fought game for Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky and once again they could not get the victory.
It was a close game against the Las Vegas Aces but it was A’ja Wilson’s buzzer-beating layup that gave the win to the women from Sin City.
Chicago is seven games under .500 with 11 wins and 18 loses, something that is exactly the opposite for Las Vegs, as they are at 18-11.
All this frustration has mounted on Reese and the Sky as they are not close to getting to a winning from and criticism has begun.
The rookie has played really well during her first season in the WNBA, yet still there is many people that believe that she should be showing more signs of improvement or that her game needs to pick up.
Mocking Angel Reese
Angel Reese had 11 points and 22 rebounds, which helped her get tie Tina Charles’ record for the most double-doubles in a season by a rookie, but she was criticized by Dave Portnoy and Jason Whitlock on social media in a bad way.
The Barstool Sports founder mocked Reese as he shared a clip of her airballing a shot from 3-point range on X. He captioned it “nothing but net” and then went to talk about an aspect of her game that may never improve.
“Angel Reese releases the ball at her shoulder, not at eye level,” the sports columnist wrote. “It’s the equivalent of Stevie Wonder and Gary Coleman combining on a shot. Leads to blocks and bricks. It won’t be an easy fix. Might be impossible,” only time will tell if this was a fair statement.
