Dave Portnoy Savagely Roasts Angel Reese During Dream Loss vs Fever
After Angel Reese missed the game-winner against the Indiana Fever, Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy couldn't resist throwing shade.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy mercilessly mocked Atlanta Dream's Angel Reese during the Fever-Dream game on Sunday. Portnoy, a staunch supporter of Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark, frequently takes aim at Reese, whom he believes is a rival. The incident occurred when Reese missed a potential game-winning attempt right before the buzzer sounded. Portnoy quickly seized the moment to post a video of the missed layup to his X account, captioning it with a string of exclamation points.
Most followers agreed with Portnoy's assessment, highlighting Reese's clutch failures and her apparent ineptitude at finishing under pressure. "Good lord, she’s the most unclutch offensive player. Great at rebounding, but she should just look to pass to someone who knows how to do a layup 😂," one fan quipped. "Not sure what’s funnier.
Her absolutely Smoking the put back, or her crashout for smoking a put back😭😭😭😭," another pointed out. "Hard to shoot a put back with your hands around your neck. Choked!" a third fan remarked.
Reese's uncharacteristic miss in the final moments of a close game drew sharp criticism. If she had connected, the Dream might have claimed an 83-81 victory. Instead, the game went into overtime, and the Fever emerged victorious with a final score of 95-91. Reese turned in a solid performance, recording 15 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists. Clark, meanwhile, delivered a dominant game with 26 points, nine assists, and three rebounds.
