Blueprint for defending Caitlin Clark may have been established by Valkyries, coach Natalie Nakase
The Indiana Fever (6-6) get back on the court for a matchup with the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday following an 88-77 loss to the Golden State Valkyries (6-6) on Thursday in San Francisco. Golden State held Caitlin Clark to 11 points on 3-of-14-shooting — including 0-for-5 on 3-pointers, which is only the second time in her early WNBA career that she hasn't a shot from behind the arc. The Fever star had two points at halftime, checked tightly by Tiffany Hayes with Kayla Thornton and Veronica Burton also taking turns defending her. Advertisement Thursday's game matched the lowest point total by Clark this season, which came against the Atlanta Dream on May 22. Perhaps not coincidentally, that was the only other game in which Clark hadn't hit a 3-pointer. However, the 11-point effort was not the lowest-scoring performance by Clark during her WNBA career. Last season, she scored three points in a 104-68 loss to the New York Liberty. But during her rookie campaign, Clark didn't reach double figures in only five of her 40 games. Struggling against the eventual WNBA champions perhaps shouldn't be a surprise. But the Valkyries are an expansion team, so holding Clark to 11 points seems notable. Following the game, Hayes and her teammates credited head coach Natalie Nakase for coming up with the effective game plan against Clark. 'Coach gave us a great gameplan,' Hayes told the San Francisco Chronicle's Marisa Ingemi. 'We knew we had to stay up on her. We knew she's a three-level scorer. I think it was a great team defensive game today, everybody was locked in making sure she didn't get any easy looks.' Advertisement Nakase is in her first year as a head coach after three years as an assistant with the Aces and three years with the Los Angeles Clippers and their G League affiliate. She explained some of the defensive scheme against Clark before and after the game, saying that defenders had to pick Clark up higher on the court since she can knock down 3s from the logo. "She shoots from a logo you can't pick her up at a logo just because, that's a super comfortable shot," Nakase said, via ClutchPoints' Kenzo Fukuda. "It's almost like a layup to her. Need to get her going to her left.' More importantly was to not let Clark get into any sort of rhythm. "We were being disruptive, we know she doesn't like physicality," Nakase said after the game. "And we know she wants to get back to that left stepback. I watched her at Iowa; she loves that left step-back. "So again," she added, "just making sure that she wasn't getting into a rhythm and making sure she was seeing multiple bodies.' Caitlin Clark was held to 11 points against the Golden State Valkyries, facing double-teams, multiple defenders and pressure up the court. (Photo by) (Eakin Howard via Getty Images) Part of combating multiple defenders is to get the ball to her teammates and Clark finished Thursday's game with nine assists. So at least to some extent, she was taking what the Valkyries' defense was giving her. And perhaps the easiest explanation is that the Valkyries have Hayes to defend Clark and other WNBA teams don't. Advertisement However, it's now on Clark and the Fever coaching staff to make adjustments against what Nakase might have established as a blueprint to keep her in check. Acting head coach Austin Kelly, filling in for Stephanie White, indicated what Indiana would have to do to combat double-teams and pressure earlier in the possession. "I think the lack of ball movement allowed them to really beat her up," Kelly told Ingemi. "When we move it, a lot of good things happen, we are able to punch it, we get to our sprays, and it gets back to her. That's when she is going to get the good looks. But they did a good job of being physical and making it tough for her.' Clark's response could be immediately apparent with Sunday's matchup versus the Aces. The Valkyries also return to the court on Sunday, facing the Connecticut Sun (2-11).

Frank Reynolds Crashes Middle-earth in Unhinged LORD OF THE RINGS Mashup Video — GeekTyrant
If you've ever wanted to watch Middle-earth descend into absolute degeneracy, this 'It's Always Sunny in Middle-Earth' video delivers with chaotic precision. In this deranged fan edit by Your_Kryptonite7, Danny DeVito's Frank Reynolds stumbles straight out of Philly and into The Lord of the Rings , turning Tolkien's epic into a fever dream of gunfire, profanity, and gross bodily concerns. Frank doesn't care about rings or destiny, he's here to harass Gollum about STDs, ask Sauron if he can resurrect his 'dead whore wife,' and generally cause the kind of havoc that would make even Saruman think twice. It's like watching a trash goblin invade a poetry recital, and it hilariously works.

New M3GAN 2.0 Featurette Teases a 'bigger,' 'badder,' and 'bloodier' Sequel — GeekTyrant
Universal Pictures has released a new featurette for Blumhouse's M3GAN 2.0 , and it offers a behind-the-scene look at the upcoming crazy robot vs. robot action comedy horror film. The video features interviews with the cast and crew and they tease a 'bigger', badder,' and 'bloodier' sequel 'in the best way'. The movie also look even more ridiculous than the first one. The film takes place two years after M3GAN , 'a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules. 'Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. 'With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.' James Wan is producing the film for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and Gerard Johnstoneis back to direct the next wild chapter of A.I. robot mayhem. Akela Cooper ( Malignant, M3GAN ) returned to write the script. The upcoming horror sequel co-stars returning cast members Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma's loyal tech teammates, Cole and Tess, and new characters played by Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp and Jemaine Clement. M3GAN 2.0 will be released in theaters on June 27, 2025.
