Is the product good enough to watch if you didn't have money on the games?

I’m not sure I could watch a whole game with a gin to my head … once I see multiple missed wide open lay ups or awful turnovers I tune out lol…

Not here to argue with anyone but to answer the original question: yes. The worst things about the product are the officiating and the broadcasts but the players are very good at basketball and obviously not every game is going to be amazing but there are a lot of good ones. The WNBA finals last year was 100x more entertaining than the NBA finals (Boston&Dallas) and anyone who doesn’t think so is probably just a bigot.

Dude including Britteny Grinner? There are some real manly (and likely part man) things in that league. But yes there are some real treats too. I just cannot make a blanket statement like that though.

Lip,
Yeah, the officiating is terrible, on the level of local little league teams. And the broadcasters are even worse. That said, I still prefer watching/betting on the WNBA than the NBA.
Straight Kash,
TEN missed layups in the game I watched last night, including three by the overrated Cry-Baby brat angel reese. You know where they call them lay ups? Because they're supposed to be easy!. And don't forget all the shot clock turnovers. It's almost as if they don't even know that rule exists.
Jes,
I had the game on in the background yesterday, only half paying attention. Heard a man's voice, I thought they were interviewing an NBA star who was in the audience. Looked up at the TV and . . .
It was Griner.
I did a double take, thought my eyes and ears were deceiving me. I never heard her speak before but now that I have, along with all the other signs, I believe that, as Austin Powers would say . . .

Correction, the game when Reese missed the layups wasn't last night, it was the night before against Minnesota. Also, saw a play with the clock about to run out, she gets the inbounds pass in a clear catch-and-shoot situation and... she dribbles the ball, no shot taken for the Sky.
Today I watched her smack a clipboard out of a coach's hand. Totally classless and of course the league will likely let her get away with it.
I bet it's sometimes when I have a situational play with a decent W percentage (I shared some stats in a recent thread here, a day or two ago.) I don't get pissed though, like when I have a bet on the NBA and they do something stupid, because I don't expect professionalism from the WNBA.
