Since I started watching the Fever and CC, not knowing anything about coaching, I thought the coaching was awful. I see now that a lot of people agree with me.

What did she bring to the table ? How about more fans,how about charter flights now, how about coming into the league and being better than most of the women there.
She is not better than most women in the wnba. You now delusional. She does have more turnovers than anyone in the league. That was definitely the record She broke
I think the offense needs to change. The offense should be built around the skills of the players you have, not merely try to insert a player into an offense, unless it already accommodates her skills. That is not the case here.
Plus Caitlin and I both have degrees (assuming she completed her degree) from the University of Iowa College of Business Administration. The entire state is proud of her.
@@larry-th4bg the phrase has always been around, but I could see how someone completely out-of-touch would take it for a recent trend. Also, it's sarcasm. An expression heavily used by blacks isn't automatically vernacular, Karen.
@jrayford8806 one could blame it on poor playing performance by Women; turnovers, missed shots forcing time outs, or horrible referees who can’t see a thing & have to constantly review on a small screen, or the fact that the WNBA is broke & everyone there’s a review or timeout it goes to commercials & that is AD REVENUE making them a bit of change to throw in the bucket. It’s all rigged system imo…
Yeah if this is the wnba Everytime , they r not going to get bigger if they can't tell what out of bounds or a jump ball is. 2hrs and 19 minutes of pain.
I just got up for work.. Looked the phone to see score..for a WNBA game..which ive never done til CC came to the league.. Im looking for the steal portion..
"Clark WAS CLEAR and that inbound pass was way behind her." Absolutely correct. And that epitomizes how the team is operating under Sides. Along with no screens for Clark like the one she was given when she hit that three point basket in 1.5 seconds to beat Indiana.
I tried slowing it down but the angle isn't great. It was thrown a little behind her, but if you slow the tape down the ball hit her in the hands and she dropped the ball. That should have been catchable. I don't think Caitlin was expecting such a hard pass.
@@PapaVanTwee5 woah, that's awesome. Thanks for the tip. So yeah, not a good pass but it hit her in the hand/hands. Two time player of the year, she should have caught it.
That was the 2nd inbound pass from Wallace in that last 12 seconds of the game that overshot her teammates. And watch Wallace just stand there out of bounds watching CC struggle with 3 defenders on her & do nothing. Only Boston came over to help her.
3 in a row? And they never thinks to change the Coach???. Bellichick with many SB was replaced. No wonder WNBA sucks, they don't know hoow to replace coach, maybe terrified of firing a female employee?
@@JoChi-zd4rdAre you serious? what the coach gotta do with it .. she’s not strong enough to dodge picks .. she can’t get herself loose .. and she HAS to be a spot up shooter .. because she can’t dribble under pressure.. she passing like it’s AAU and she doesn’t like creating her own shots inside .. not to mention she doesn’t play defense…
For those of you who accused Clark of mishandling the ball, obviously you haven’t played competitive basketball in the past. Otherwise you would have clearly seen that the pass was behind Clark with all her moment moving forward. Get real!
And Wallace did that twice. She screwed up two chances for them to win in the last 12 seconds of the game. And look what she did after that pass to CC. She just stands there out of bounds and does nothing despite CC being covered by 3 defenders. Only Boston came to help her. People need to lay off of Boston. Yes she is in a bad slump but unlike some other players on the team like Wheeler & Wallace. Boston is trying to help CC, not sabotage her.
You get real...Clark has passed the ball behind players and at their ankles all season...hell, she's averaging 6 turnovers a game in the WNBA, which is consistent with what she did at Iowa, where she was a Big Ten turnover leader, averaging 5 TURNOVERS PER GAME FOR FOUR YEARS. If they had data on her 4 years in high school, it would undoubtedly indicate the same...its who she is...amongst all the fancy long shots, she consistently is involved in turnovers.
@@waldolydecker8118 . Hey, get your facts straight! Please read. We are not talking about all year here. Omg We are talking about the conversation surrounding the last few minutes of this game. You can clearly see the pass was thrown behind cc, even if she was able to catch the ball and regain her balance, she would’ve have had players smothering her and she would not have been able to get a shot off.
Yeah, it will take some time to build this program. Also, Boston needs to lose some weight, get in the weight room and build some muscle. She is living off the laurels of her college days and needs to get her butt in shape enough to run up and down the court and also catch the ball. The team can buy you a lot of things, but they can’t buy you hands.
@@guardedsoul64 Absolutely. I've said the exact same thing. Boston looks out of shape. It happens, I get it. But you're being paid. Show me why you were the rookie of the year last season because so far I'm not seeing it.
Every Team is making it a point of Duty to beat the Fevers because of the attention CC is getting unfortunately, they don't understand that, Like MJ, this girl might be the beginning of their biggest pay days ahead ...... what is worse is that, this coach does not understand how to get the best out of this girl. The Fevers also don't seem to have a strategy to close out games.
❤❤❤❤ thank you, exactly 💯😘🙏💓💖 I think christie sides 8s gone in 2 months. Maybe cc22 old coach from Iowa may take the reins ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can only hppe... God bless ❤❤❤❤❤❤ ... let's gooooooooop... cc22. P.s., I'm from Chicago. Mj23
Coaches have people that can are above them...if the higher ups don't like it they will change things. You also have to realize betting on the WNBA is up 175%. Big Money being made somewhere.
Yep, but if the alleged "best player" sulks and quits on the play because she's still upset about something that happened earlier, then whatever the coach draws up is irrelevant, because the "best player" refused to execute it. Jordan ALWAYS went and got the ball for the last second shot....no excuse for the "best player" refusing to go get the ball - and don't lie and claim the coach told her not to go get it, lol. She has attitude and she just quit on the play.
@@waldolydecker8118who are you talking about? CC? She ran open for the inbound harder than anyone else on the team. Wallace's inbound pass was way behind CC which is why the defense could get to the ball. If you look at the pass CC is stretching backwards to catch the ball it's so far behind her. The defense was given a shot at the ball because it was a horrible inbound pass. Had the pass been ahead of Clark then she could have taken a shot. But to say CC was sulking is looking at this basketball game foolishly. CC had to jump on the ball so she dived on it...clearly not someone sulking. The Fever was getting killed last year. They're starting to play like a team now. And games are close....very fun to watch. I didn't see a sulking CC, I saw a terrible inbound pass at a crucial time in the game. You pass to where your teammate is headed #1 and #2 you put the pass to their shooting hand side. The video is clear
Someone tell me why coach will not put ball in CC hand in last inning when she is the best chance they had. It makes no sense. I can't imagine how infuriating it is for CC. Any body have a guess why keeps happening.Good game ladies.🎉
It will still take a few weeks before the rest of Clark's teammates will be about 10% as good as she is. A perfect example of what I mean was that last inbound that was barely inbound but too far away for Clark to make a play on it. Coach Slides is up to nearly 30 losses in a row. Time for a change in management.
I at first thought Clark had mishandled the pass, but when I watched it a second time in slow-motion (& I have watched it many times since), I saw that the pass from Wallace was behind Clark. She didn’t lead Clark to the pass. The TO should have been charged to Wallace and not Clark, just like when Clark was charged with a TO in I think it was their 2nd game when she threw an outlet pass to Temi but it was a little behind her and she could not handle it. It is difficult to be running in one direction and try and reach back in the other to catch a ball.
You have to blame the Indiana coaches for having two inbound opportunities and no one being open. You also have to blame the passer and the guards that were on the floor. This was a team loss, but ultimately the coaching in those inbound past moments sucked.
Wallace is one of Coach Sides pets along with Wheeler, so the coach will continue to give her opportunities to screw over the team despite those horrible inbound passes. It sometimes feels like Wallace & Wheeler are just there to screw over the team & make sure they lose. I have seen both Wallace & Wheeler on the court several times look straight at a wide open CC & throw it to anyone else but her.
@@amyk6319 WNBA analytical data shows Caitlin Clark having the ball in her hands THE THIRD MOST IN THE LEAGUE. Put another way....out of 144 players in the league, Clark is #3 out of 144 in playing time and ball handling. This data proves Clark even has the ball more than players across the league who are better than her. Clearly you want Wallace and Wheeler to make Clark #1 on the list, lol.
@@amyk6319 Right. On the 2nd inbound play, #3 (Wallace) threw it to CC's left as she was moving right, causing her to lose control and not be able to set up for a shot. She lost control which led to Boston's jump-ball and we know how that ended up. At 6:14 (after the 1st failed inbounds) Sides hesitates for SECONDS as she has no idea what to draw up - If I'm the front office, that indecisiveness/deer-in-headlights look concerns the crap out of me!
Indiana needs a new head coach. To not get a shot off with TWO inbounds passes is her fault. Instead she spent the timeouts looking at her clipboard. You either know what to do in crunch time or you don't. She didn't.
Caitlin is bringing women's basketball into America's homes and kitchen tables. Her technique of not hesitating to make a shot is cool and leaves her opponents flat footed.
Meanwhile every time the camera panned to the audience there were hundreds of people in Seattle merch, the largest Seattle crowd came to watch their team win.
She did her job the best three point shooter on the team Should have been fighting for that ball and secondly clumsy catlin lost the ball that could have possibly won them them the game. Now I have never seen Steph Curry loose that many turnovers or any like that
@@D4L_457 How did Clark lose the ball, when the ball ended up in Bostons hands and then Boston gets tied up and a jump ball is called. Boston can't jump is the real TO.
Temmie should have been in, under the bucket. No one could stop her from getting a high pass and bucket/foul. AB in the game and not Temmie - ridiculous.
Good game by the Fever and glad they finally got a win vs the Sparks today. Caitlin played awesome ..almost triple double. The Fever are improving almost besides the fact that their coach makes dumb calls like taking CC out in the end of a game...for any amount of time...that is too dumb.
You can tell by the announcer that this was Seatle's greatest win ever and the highlight of their season. Beating Caitlin. It is now or never for these teams.
Even though I'm far from a basketball expert, I've had reservations about Christie Sides' coaching for months; it seems like they more often win in spite of her than because of her, and Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, and the rest of the team have performed impressively all season.
That first inbound for Indiana was dumb, get Clark to catch that ball easily. God… Think Boston just did the “do whatever” instead of thinking clearly and trying to pass the ball to Clark immediately.
I hate all sports limiting the maximum number of challenges. I can see setting a minimum like you get two times being wrong, but if you challenge and are right it shouldn't count against anything! I also hate the fact that SOME THINGS are challengeable and some things aren't. If you allow replay review then ANYTHING should be reviewable.
These referees take over 3 minutes to decide who gets the ball at a crucial time near the end of the game. The officials are going to say oh we got to get this right we have to make sure it's stalls the momentum the game.
It's funny the wnba complaining about Clark yet nobody would watch them if it wasn't for her. The guy says 18k people in attendance in Seattle. He diesnt mention Clark if it wasn't for her there would be 100 people in attendance.
Relax all! They are a young team attempting to create cohesiveness and chemistry. Caitlin's stats by the end of the year, by the way moving now towards her traditional triple double legacy, will be better than the players criticizing her from a black / white perspective but she'll win them over.
I disagree with something the announcer said. The refs don't want to decide the game late by calling a foul. I know many people disagree but to me a foul is a foul regardless of the time of the game. A foul called in the first quarter could decide the game just as much as one called in the final seconds, it is just not as easy to see the correlation.
Final play Clark was wide open on left side of basket. All Boston had to do was heave it down to that area with 2 seconds left instead of trying to bring it up. No one was remotely close to Clark.
CC looks better on defense, she's moving her feet better. But, whenever she makes critical mistakes on the offensive end her 'supporters' don't like to mention them. But the team as a whole looked much, much better. As you can tell those three point bombs from CC are not there. All the teams the Fever has been playing take away that option.
She has been hitting threes I don’t know what games you’ve been watching but as you saw she got double teamed, which she does a lot in games and on Iowa they actually ran plays for her to get open. They don’t do none of that here. I’m starting to think they might need a new coach. They’ve got two All-Stars on their team now and the supporting cast could be doing better but the coaching just isn’t there in my opinion. Having 2 terrible seasons, and then starting out 0-5 she needs to be replaced/fired. She does not have what it takes obviously. Plus Clark was doing good and she took her out a majority of the last five minutes and then they came back then she wanted to put her back in absolutely terrible coaching.
not really, 'cause nobody lied and promised that Wemby was the best player in his league and would dominate the other players and teams like they said about Clark coming to the WNBA. Nope, not the same.
@@ljsmixbox44 - Clark is suppose to be the the GOAT....GOATs don't need a coach to tell them to go get the inbounds pass with 2 seconds left so Clark can take the final shot since Clark is the team's advertised long ball shooter. Clark would have to be stupid to need a coach to tell her that. Instead of doing what Jordan and all other great guard do, Clark sulked and quit. Not a center's job to go get an inbounds; that's Clark's, but absent Clark, Boston had to do it or the 5 second inbounds clock would have expired.
@waldolydecker8118 This is where you're not making sense in your comment. First of all...Clark is a rookie that's adjusting to playing in the WNBA, night in and night out rather every Saturday like the NCAA does. And a rookie is going to go through a lot of things in their first season as a professional basketball player. Here's the difference. When Jordan came out of college to play for the Bulls.. He had Phil Jackson, who is one of the best NBA head coaches. Jackson had seen how Jordan played at NC. And it wasn't long before Jordan became a captain early in his career. On the other hand... The Indiana Fever head coach failed to see Clark's talent when she was at Iowa. She's smart and aggressive. She knows how to move ball upcourt, and she can find players. Her IQ is high in basketball. Even Kobe had it rough his rookie season with the Lakers, but head coach Pat Riley let Kobe stay in the games so he could groom himself to play in the Lakers system. Kobe also became a captain early in his career. He wasn't the best in his rookie season, but the "Black Mamba" had become one of the best NBA players on the basketball court. He was a thinking man, like Jordan.. So you just can't dwell on the negative in Clark. I don't look at Clark, Kobe, or Jordan as the goat. That just brings up an argument. There are good players, better players, and great players.
@@ljsmixbox44 - Quit lying, clown...when Jordan was drafted by the Bulls he wasn't coached by Phil Jackson....Phil Jackson wasn't the Bulls head coach until Jordan's SIXTH year, so your attempt to make excuses about the Jordan comparison is based on your lies about Phil Jackson, so is a failure. Your "rookie" excuses for Clark are also phony. When Clark was at Iowa, YOU said she was ALREADY the GOAT...the greatest player ever and she was already better than every player in the WNBA. Now that you and the media's lie is being exposed with every Clark game, you are trying to distance yourself from all your early Clark claims. If Clark was already better than every WNBA player like you and the media said she was, then being a rookie is irrelevant. Stop trying to reverse what you had been saying for the past year about Clark. Now that you see Clark getting her azz kicked by multiple players across the WNBA, you full of excuses, lol. You and the media shouldn't have lied in the first place, then Clark wouldn't be failing to measure up to the GOAT label you foolishly placed on her. You got nobody to blame but yourself and the media for lying.
It is great to see the attendance of all of these other teams who are willing to come and support their team. I want all of these women to win and to feel their game is worth watching. The Indiana team needs to work on their pass in and working as a team. They will be fine, they just need to play smart and play heads up.
Where is all the put downs on Boston.People are say are saying she is slow,can't jump,low IQ,playing like trash and other things,like she should not be an olympian,and how was she an all star.To quote a famous singer"you must don't know bout"her.Please Google her.She won a title ,player of the year,2 defensive players of the year all and other accolades,all in college.She was coached by the great Dawn Staley and trains with Tim Duncan.She has a very high IQ.She came to the Fever last year that had only won 6 games.She doubled that to 13 last season.She averaged a double-double last year.She was and is the best defender on the team by far.Mitchell never got on an all star team until Boston came to the team.She was and is constantly doubled and triple team with different looks depending on the team.This year and last,besides Smith there is no other help on the boards or interior defense.And people ask why was she rookie of the year.In her 5 games this she has been matched up with Breanna Stewart,Jonquel Jones,Alyssa Thomas and Nneke.Now you add Clark,outstanding like Boston,but have played together in this system for 5 games.And I love Clark,but she made some mistakes too.What are people expecting?They played together for 5 games.And Boston has beefed up because where is he defensive help or rebounding help?I can only name Smith on the boards,but what about defense.Has anyone payed attention to Boston's block shot totals?Or how about how many times she sets screens for Clark to get up shots.Boston is not a transtiion player.Her strength is the half court.Get her the ball in the paint and let her go to work and draw fouls.Smith and Hull are the transition players.My point is,this is not a 3 woman team(Clark,Boston,and Smith).And Mitchell supplies nothing else if she does not score.Those three can't do everything.Winning championships is not just about what your stars do.Are the role players consistent?The league is at a point now where there is too much talent on each team to rely on two stars to win the game.And the coaching strategy is horrible.But I end by saying,its only been five games.Did people expect them to dominate immediately?Your expectations are too high.This team needs to work on chemistry with the goal being....Get to the playoffs.
That Coach for the Fever is not Qualfied to Coach she has no clue? The Seattle Team needs to be Fined for not shaking hands with Catlin Clark that was wrong!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥☝🏾
you got it. the pass was low, late, behind her, and way to hard, to a person on the move. you have to lead that person accordingly. Wallace did not do that. she threw it to where she was instead of where she was going. ask a qb.
You are a liar..Jordan as a rookie took his losing team immediately to the playoffs and every year thereafter...Pippen didn't get there until at least 4 years later....meanwhile Jordan took his team to the playoffs every year and went into the Boston Garden in his 2nd year and dropped 63 points on the top ranked Celtics BEFORE Pippen joined the team.
Clark dropping the ball and the Fever center tipping it to Seattle player. Mistakes at the end of the game when game is on the line most always ends in a loss. It seems like their leaning to much on KC right out of the gate. The rest of the Fever players need to step up and start shouldering the intensity to win.
Yes, she's doing a great job. And those who "think" basketball is the essence of life are going to bitch and moan, and act like a loss is the end of the world, etc. It's "just" a game, folks. Let's applaud ALL of the players for a good and entertaining game. Character, personality, love and faith mean more than a string of victories.
You've got it azz backwards, Scoobie.....Clark was suppose to be THE HELP. The GOAT...like Jordan going to the last place Bulls and immediately taking them to the playoffs as a rookie....or Larry Bird going to the last place Celtics and immediately taking them to the playoffs WITH THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE his rookie year. They did it with the same losing players from the previous year. How come Clark has no impact on her team winning like Jordan and Bird did? Jordan and Bird didn't blame their losing teammates or make excuses...they got the job done and took their teams to the playoffs. Too many excuses for Clark, when Clark is suppose to be the greatest player of all time, as you and her other fans repeatedly declared.
Can we say that Boston is NOT what this team needs. Clark n Mitchell are mustangs n Boston is a two legged half blind Clydesdale, No rim running, no ability to make anything beyond an inch from the rim, easily blocked, constantly messing up good passes from Clark n others. I keep hearing how good she is I've watched all five games n her shooting percentage is like she's shooting blind or something.
I do think people need to lay off of Boston. Yes she screwed up royally this year & came in out of shape & is going thru a post rookie slump, but she has Caitlin Clark's back. While other players are just standing around watching when CC is getting double & triple teamed, Boston is the one coming over to help her. I have seen how CC & Boston trying to figure it out & work together. Clark & Boston do really like each other & I see them trying to help & support each other on this team in other ways too, so I think people need to have patience with Boston.
Many of the home team announcers for the WNBA are more concerned with hyping up the home team than calling the game. You should hear the announcers for the Aces. They barely pay attention to what is happening in the actual game & barely mention any of the actual plays. They just spend most of the game just praising the accomplishments of Aja Wilson & then occasionally they take a break to praise the rest of the Aces team. The Fever has Debbie Antonelli announcing games & she is very good & knows what she is talking about.
@@amyk6319 - Debbie Antonelli is no different than the other home announcers....she is paid by Indiana to praise the home team, so she spends all game praising everything Clark does and making excuses when she and her team screw up. That's how it goes...as a Clark fan you love Antonelli cause she's part of the Indiana overall team. The other announcers across the league rightfully give a different perspective when Clark comes to their building. They rightfully desire their home team to win like Antonelli prefers to see Indiana win.
@@waldolydecker8118 Actually I don't think I listened to the Fever's home commentary yet, so your right I cannot speak to that specifically. But I did hear Antonelli as a guest commentator for the first Aces game & I've seen some interviews she's done. And she is smart & knows the game well enough to give insight into the plays of the game. And I've heard all the commentators praise Clark at times. My issue is when team commentators seem more interested in doing general promo for things the team or specific players are doing outside the games vs providing a play by play of the actual live game you are watching. For ex. I thought the Sparks home commentators did a great job of calling the game & giving detailed play by plays.
All they needed was 2 pts. Why go to Clark? Go inside and possibly Boston would have gotten fouled. ESPN should be ashamed themselves. This game should have been televised.
I love that she passes a lot. She isn't only making herself look good, she is making all the players on her team play their best versions of themselves. The better she plays, her whole team plays better.
That Christie she’s not a coach she does not know what she’s doing when they talk to her tomorrow. It’ll be a different story. She’ll blame it on somebody. It won’t be her. She’s perfect.!!!!
From the rulebook: A Reset timeout is a stoppage of play requested by a team that allows it to advance the ball and make substitutions but not huddle. Each team is entitled to one Reset in the final two minutes of the fourth period and one in the final two minutes of any overtime period.
Its a timeout that Indiana called after 5 games when they came to the conclusion that they were duped in the draft and would like a "reset" so they can do it over and get it right.
I am not sure about something the announcer said on that last free throw. You don't want to intentionally miss with 2.6 seconds left. With a make the other team has a chance to get a little ready, because the clock stops. If you miss you might get the rebound plus time goes during the scramble for the ball.
That's how Clark got famous...All cameras on her, none elsewhere. See, it ain't what you accomplish, its what the decision makers decide to show. Jewel Loyd accomplished MORE, but the decision makers decide to show everything Clark does and nothing Loyd does...this is how Clark became a household name while the other top players were minimized.
Be honest. It was a poor pass. CC had forward momentum and the pass forced her to reach backwards while going forward. I'm not saying that it wasn't catchable, but it was an easy pass to lead CC to the baseline to catch it. How...how was that pass so bad?
It was a bad pass. You don’t pass the ball to her left when she is clearly moving to her right and to the ball, therefore anybody with a brain passing the ball in would lead the shooter. She didn’t, the passer took the shot out of CCs hands. I am not defending CC because I like her or think she is the greatest player, I am just pointing out facts from a “shooters” viewpoint. If you have ever played bball, you always pass to the shooter’s hands, this pass wasn’t passed to her hands as she had to reach back. You have no credibility if you think that the passer didn’t make a bad pass.
@@CutLikeDat Technically, a ball is "catchable" if there is only a 1% chance of it being caught. You are purposely oversimplifying and omitting all possibilities and contexts to push a narrative. Regardless of a ball being "catchable" doesn't negate the criticism of a pass. Not every pass that's "catchable" is good. Did the pass lead her to the correct spot? Yes or no?
I rarely watched a WNBA game before but now I watch all the Indiana fever games. All of them. It’s pretty exciting now. It’s actually like basketball rather than a bunch of angry women running around.
The Fever were very very bad last year. They are only very bad this year. That's an improvement, but the team still sucks, and the coach sucks too. However , C.C. is looking pretty good for a rookie 5 games in. She is going to get WAY BETTER and it's going to make you HATERS CRY
If the fever team sucks Caitlin sucks too Caitlin is not a one-man team Caitlin is on the fever team the fever team done their best the Seattle Storm team were just better
I can't believe I am watching the WNBA. First time ever.
me too. from Asia.
Been said that
Me too!!!
the coaches & other players have to learn to play with CC. wait til after the Olympics. things will start to jell.
I'm a fan too, now
lol❤
First time WNBA fan here as well. The quality of play with Clark in the game is fantastic! I think she raises everyone’s game - well done!
She makes them all play better! That is a leader
Sure she does.
I FOR ONE,,,do not want CAITLIN CLARK to move overseas!!!
They had a good chance to win 😁❤the fever and CC and coach Sides 🤔 are building 🏫 a beautiful dynasty. 🎉
They are getting better. Clark adds so much to that team
She has made the whole team better.
Catlin can sure draw a crowd
Since I started watching the Fever and CC, not knowing anything about coaching, I thought the coaching was awful. I see now that a lot of people agree with me.
The Indiana Fever coaching staff is AWFUL!!!

Great game. As long as it is a dogfight and not a blowout, I am a fan. If the Fever win, then that is icing on the cake.
Indiana has coaching problems. It’s clear the coach has no idea how to insert Clark into the offensive scheme.
BS
I think the offense needs to change. The offense should be built around the skills of the players you have, not merely try to insert a player into an offense, unless it already accommodates her skills. That is not the case here.
Offense alone does not win games. Everyone need to play defense
She drew up the perfect play with 11 seconds left, CAITLYN CLARK BLEW IT
The coach schemed Clark open to hit a game-winner, but Clark botched the inbound.
Plus Caitlin and I both have degrees (assuming she completed her degree) from the University of Iowa College of Business Administration. The entire state is proud of her.
Still cant watch womens basketball? Its a who cares sport! That Clark is awesome!
Iowa deserves to be proud of her. Like North Carolina and that one guy. Lol
Don’t worry ladies of Indiana. Keep up the solid effort. We believe in you, never stop believing in yourself and each other 👍 it will come together!

Is that all you can point out. How about when are they going to win a game?
"Clark WAS CLEAR and that inbound pass was way behind her." Absolutely correct. And that epitomizes how the team is operating under Sides. Along with no screens for Clark like the one she was given when she hit that three point basket in 1.5 seconds to beat Indiana.
I tried slowing it down but the angle isn't great. It was thrown a little behind her, but if you slow the tape down the ball hit her in the hands and she dropped the ball. That should have been catchable. I don't think Caitlin was expecting such a hard pass.
@@nybiggs She had at least one hand on the ball that we can see. To see, hit pause near the play, then use "," and "." to go a frame forward or back.
@@PapaVanTwee5 woah, that's awesome. Thanks for the tip. So yeah, not a good pass but it hit her in the hand/hands. Two time player of the year, she should have caught it.
@@nybiggs Agreed. Even if not perfect, the pass was catchable. She heard footsteps and took her eyes off the ball it seems.
That was the 2nd inbound pass from Wallace in that last 12 seconds of the game that overshot her teammates. And watch Wallace just stand there out of bounds watching CC struggle with 3 defenders on her & do nothing. Only Boston came over to help her.
0-5 looks like Sides doing a great job to get the Fevers 3 in-a-row #1 draft picks😊😅
3 in a row? And they never thinks to change the Coach???. Bellichick with many SB was replaced. No wonder WNBA sucks, they don't know hoow to replace coach, maybe terrified of firing a female employee?
Bro pop hasn't been to the playoffs in years but and he hasn't got fire yet and he had wemby this year way betterd the Caitlin clark
@@JoChi-zd4rdAre you serious? what the coach gotta do with it .. she’s not strong enough to dodge picks .. she can’t get herself loose .. and she HAS to be a spot up shooter .. because she can’t dribble under pressure.. she passing like it’s AAU and she doesn’t like creating her own shots inside .. not to mention she doesn’t play defense…
No this year would be the number 2 pick expansion team in San fran
Caitlin can’t create her own shot. The whole team has to set picks for her so her cult can watch her shoot 30 footers from the left side.
For those of you who accused Clark of mishandling the ball, obviously you haven’t played competitive basketball in the past. Otherwise you would have clearly seen that the pass was behind Clark with all her moment moving forward. Get real!
And Wallace did that twice. She screwed up two chances for them to win in the last 12 seconds of the game. And look what she did after that pass to CC. She just stands there out of bounds and does nothing despite CC being covered by 3 defenders. Only Boston came to help her. People need to lay off of Boston. Yes she is in a bad slump but unlike some other players on the team like Wheeler & Wallace. Boston is trying to help CC, not sabotage her.
You get real...Clark has passed the ball behind players and at their ankles all season...hell, she's averaging 6 turnovers a game in the WNBA, which is consistent with what she did at Iowa, where she was a Big Ten turnover leader, averaging 5 TURNOVERS PER GAME FOR FOUR YEARS. If they had data on her 4 years in high school, it would undoubtedly indicate the same...its who she is...amongst all the fancy long shots, she consistently is involved in turnovers.
@@waldolydecker8118 . Hey, get your facts straight! Please read. We are not talking about all year here. Omg We are talking about the conversation surrounding the last few minutes of this game. You can clearly see the pass was thrown behind cc, even if she was able to catch the ball and regain her balance, she would’ve have had players smothering her and she would not have been able to get a shot off.
When you throw high difficulty dimes you're gonna have some TO's. Check her assist toturnover ratio @ Iowa. She was a triple double machine.
Bad pass to Clark's left side when she was moving to the right.
How come no one says the reason Clark is in Indiana is because they sucked last year.They are not a good team.....yet !!!
Because a lot of people don't know anything about BB and how the college draft works.
@@Dbo83-g5v Well, if they know about NFL draft, then they should also know about NBA draft which is almost the same, if not exactly the same.
That's what I've been saying. There is a reason The Fever only won 13 games last season.
Yeah, it will take some time to build this program. Also, Boston needs to lose some weight, get in the weight room and build some muscle. She is living off the laurels of her college days and needs to get her butt in shape enough to run up and down the court and also catch the ball. The team can buy you a lot of things, but they can’t buy you hands.
@@guardedsoul64 Absolutely. I've said the exact same thing. Boston looks out of shape. It happens, I get it. But you're being paid. Show me why you were the rookie of the year last season because so far I'm not seeing it.
Every Team is making it a point of Duty to beat the Fevers because of the attention CC is getting unfortunately, they don't understand that, Like MJ, this girl might be the beginning of their biggest pay days ahead ...... what is worse is that, this coach does not understand how to get the best out of this girl. The Fevers also don't seem to have a strategy to close out games.

It was magic and Bird who put the NBA on the map..!!!
As a former coach I know that you should have a play to get the ball in the hands of your best player! That’s the only reasonable chance of success….
Yep, but if the alleged "best player" sulks and quits on the play because she's still upset about something that happened earlier, then whatever the coach draws up is irrelevant, because the "best player" refused to execute it. Jordan ALWAYS went and got the ball for the last second shot....no excuse for the "best player" refusing to go get the ball - and don't lie and claim the coach told her not to go get it, lol. She has attitude and she just quit on the play.
Kuhscheiße!!!
@@waldolydecker8118Kuhscheiße
@@waldolydecker8118who are you talking about? CC? She ran open for the inbound harder than anyone else on the team. Wallace's inbound pass was way behind CC which is why the defense could get to the ball. If you look at the pass CC is stretching backwards to catch the ball it's so far behind her. The defense was given a shot at the ball because it was a horrible inbound pass. Had the pass been ahead of Clark then she could have taken a shot. But to say CC was sulking is looking at this basketball game foolishly. CC had to jump on the ball so she dived on it...clearly not someone sulking. The Fever was getting killed last year. They're starting to play like a team now. And games are close....very fun to watch. I didn't see a sulking CC, I saw a terrible inbound pass at a crucial time in the game. You pass to where your teammate is headed #1 and #2 you put the pass to their shooting hand side. The video is clear
Someone tell me why coach will not put ball in CC hand in last inning when she is the best chance they had. It makes no sense. I can't imagine how infuriating it is for CC. Any body have a guess why keeps happening.Good game ladies.🎉
Clark WAS CLEAR and that inbound pass was way behind her. Get real.
It will still take a few weeks before the rest of Clark's teammates will be about 10% as good as she is. A perfect example of what I mean was that last inbound that was barely inbound but too far away for Clark to make a play on it. Coach Slides is up to nearly 30 losses in a row. Time for a change in management.
Went right in her hands
Should have been a bounce pass...
I at first thought Clark had mishandled the pass, but when I watched it a second time in slow-motion (& I have watched it many times since), I saw that the pass from Wallace was behind Clark. She didn’t lead Clark to the pass. The TO should have been charged to Wallace and not Clark, just like when Clark was charged with a TO in I think it was their 2nd game when she threw an outlet pass to Temi but it was a little behind her and she could not handle it. It is difficult to be running in one direction and try and reach back in the other to catch a ball.
It went right in her hands stop lying to defend her
You have to blame the Indiana coaches for having two inbound opportunities and no one being open. You also have to blame the passer and the guards that were on the floor. This was a team loss, but ultimately the coaching in those inbound past moments sucked.
You save timeouts for plays just like this.
Wallace is one of Coach Sides pets along with Wheeler, so the coach will continue to give her opportunities to screw over the team despite those horrible inbound passes. It sometimes feels like Wallace & Wheeler are just there to screw over the team & make sure they lose. I have seen both Wallace & Wheeler on the court several times look straight at a wide open CC & throw it to anyone else but her.
@@amyk6319 WNBA analytical data shows Caitlin Clark having the ball in her hands THE THIRD MOST IN THE LEAGUE. Put another way....out of 144 players in the league, Clark is #3 out of 144 in playing time and ball handling. This data proves Clark even has the ball more than players across the league who are better than her. Clearly you want Wallace and Wheeler to make Clark #1 on the list, lol.
@@amyk6319 Right. On the 2nd inbound play, #3 (Wallace) threw it to CC's left as she was moving right, causing her to lose control and not be able to set up for a shot. She lost control which led to Boston's jump-ball and we know how that ended up.
At 6:14 (after the 1st failed inbounds) Sides hesitates for SECONDS as she has no idea what to draw up - If I'm the front office, that indecisiveness/deer-in-headlights look concerns the crap out of me!

Looks like there are a couple men playing in this game already. 😮
Indiana needs a new head coach. To not get a shot off with TWO inbounds passes is her fault. Instead she spent the timeouts looking at her clipboard. You either know what to do in crunch time or you don't. She didn't.

You can tell by the announcer that this was Seatle's greatest win ever and the highlight of their season. Beating Caitlin. It is now or never for these teams.
Even though I'm far from a basketball expert, I've had reservations about Christie Sides' coaching for months; it seems like they more often win in spite of her than because of her, and Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, and the rest of the team have performed impressively all season.
That first inbound for Indiana was dumb, get Clark to catch that ball easily. God…
Think Boston just did the “do whatever” instead of thinking clearly and trying to pass the ball to Clark immediately.

I hate all sports limiting the maximum number of challenges. I can see setting a minimum like you get two times being wrong, but if you challenge and are right it shouldn't count against anything! I also hate the fact that SOME THINGS are challengeable and some things aren't. If you allow replay review then ANYTHING should be reviewable.
These referees take over 3 minutes to decide who gets the ball at a crucial time near the end of the game. The officials are going to say oh we got to get this right we have to make sure it's stalls the momentum the game.
It's funny the wnba complaining about Clark yet nobody would watch them if it wasn't for her. The guy says 18k people in attendance in Seattle. He diesnt mention Clark if it wasn't for her there would be 100 people in attendance.
@@michaelross1939 true but why.
Relax all! They are a young team attempting to create cohesiveness and chemistry. Caitlin's stats by the end of the year, by the way moving now towards her traditional triple double legacy, will be better than the players criticizing her from a black / white perspective but she'll win them over.
I hope you're right. Some however may not let the black/white issue go. 😪
I never thought I would be watching WNBA basketball. (76 yr old male geezer).
Where was the foul on CC.?? 2 people hit her causing her to lose the ball.
I disagree with something the announcer said. The refs don't want to decide the game late by calling a foul. I know many people disagree but to me a foul is a foul regardless of the time of the game. A foul called in the first quarter could decide the game just as much as one called in the final seconds, it is just not as easy to see the correlation.
Final play Clark was wide open on left side of basket. All Boston had to do was heave it down to that area with 2 seconds left instead of trying to bring it up. No one was remotely close to Clark.
You're exactly right.W T actual F?
I’m confused with fever. Watched this because cc is in it.
Caitlin Clark will soon figure it out...
This young lady is special only reason I am watching WNBA quit being so jealous ladies
CC looks better on defense, she's moving her feet better. But, whenever she makes critical mistakes on the offensive end her 'supporters' don't like to mention them. But the team as a whole looked much, much better. As you can tell those three point bombs from CC are not there. All the teams the Fever has been playing take away that option.
Yeah but the other team rather take a foul then to let cc get a three.
She has been hitting threes I don’t know what games you’ve been watching but as you saw she got double teamed, which she does a lot in games and on Iowa they actually ran plays for her to get open. They don’t do none of that here. I’m starting to think they might need a new coach. They’ve got two All-Stars on their team now and the supporting cast could be doing better but the coaching just isn’t there in my opinion. Having 2 terrible seasons, and then starting out 0-5 she needs to be replaced/fired. She does not have what it takes obviously. Plus Clark was doing good and she took her out a majority of the last five minutes and then they came back then she wanted to put her back in absolutely terrible coaching.
People keep thinking Caitlin was going to dominate the WNBA… MEANWHILE

8:49 Fever don't have game plan for last seconds play.
It's the coach's job to have one.
@@ljsmixbox44 - Clark is suppose to be the the GOAT....GOATs don't need a coach to tell them to go get the inbounds pass with 2 seconds left so Clark can take the final shot since Clark is the team's advertised long ball shooter. Clark would have to be stupid to need a coach to tell her that. Instead of doing what Jordan and all other great guard do, Clark sulked and quit. Not a center's job to go get an inbounds; that's Clark's, but absent Clark, Boston had to do it or the 5 second inbounds clock would have expired.
@waldolydecker8118
This is where you're not making sense in your comment.
First of all...Clark is a rookie that's adjusting to playing in the WNBA, night in and night out rather every Saturday like the NCAA does.
And a rookie is going to go through a lot of things in their first season as a professional basketball player.
Here's the difference. When Jordan came out of college to play for the Bulls.. He had Phil Jackson, who is one of the best NBA head coaches.
Jackson had seen how Jordan played at NC.
And it wasn't long before Jordan became a captain early in his career.
On the other hand... The Indiana Fever head coach failed to see Clark's talent when she was at Iowa. She's smart and aggressive. She knows how to move ball upcourt, and she can find players.
Her IQ is high in basketball.
Even Kobe had it rough his rookie season with the Lakers, but head coach Pat Riley let Kobe stay in the games so he could groom himself to play in the Lakers system. Kobe also became a captain early in his career. He wasn't the best in his rookie season, but the "Black Mamba" had become one of the best NBA players on the basketball court. He was a thinking man, like Jordan..
So you just can't dwell on the negative in Clark. I don't look at Clark, Kobe, or Jordan as the goat. That just brings up an argument. There are good players, better players, and great players.
@@ljsmixbox44 - Quit lying, clown...when Jordan was drafted by the Bulls he wasn't coached by Phil Jackson....Phil Jackson wasn't the Bulls head coach until Jordan's SIXTH year, so your attempt to make excuses about the Jordan comparison is based on your lies about Phil Jackson, so is a failure.
Your "rookie" excuses for Clark are also phony. When Clark was at Iowa, YOU said she was ALREADY the GOAT...the greatest player ever and she was already better than every player in the WNBA. Now that you and the media's lie is being exposed with every Clark game, you are trying to distance yourself from all your early Clark claims. If Clark was already better than every WNBA player like you and the media said she was, then being a rookie is irrelevant. Stop trying to reverse what you had been saying for the past year about Clark. Now that you see Clark getting her azz kicked by multiple players across the WNBA, you full of excuses, lol. You and the media shouldn't have lied in the first place, then Clark wouldn't be failing to measure up to the GOAT label you foolishly placed on her. You got nobody to blame but yourself and the media for lying.
And the crowd goes wild ! Big crowd! Why? CC
Great game by both teams.
Sammy did her job.foul Caitlin.
Hope all those players realize that their paychecks will increase with the crowds ,, thanks CC
That’s why they have back to back number one picks!
Clark actually WALKED prior to the foul. They just did not call it on her.
I saw no walk ... Clark just stopped on a dime and dove to her left in an attempt to catch a bad pass.
It is great to see the attendance of all of these other teams who are willing to come and support their team.
I want all of these women to win and to feel their game is worth watching.
The Indiana team needs to work on their pass in and working as a team.
They will be fine, they just need to play smart and play heads up.
Where is all the put downs on Boston.People are say are saying she is slow,can't jump,low IQ,playing like trash and other things,like she should not be an olympian,and how was she an all star.To quote a famous singer"you must don't know bout"her.Please Google her.She won a title ,player of the year,2 defensive players of the year all and other accolades,all in college.She was coached by the great Dawn Staley and trains with Tim Duncan.She has a very high IQ.She came to the Fever last year that had only won 6 games.She doubled that to 13 last season.She averaged a double-double last year.She was and is the best defender on the team by far.Mitchell never got on an all star team until Boston came to the team.She was and is constantly doubled and triple team with different looks depending on the team.This year and last,besides Smith there is no other help on the boards or interior defense.And people ask why was she rookie of the year.In her 5 games this she has been matched up with Breanna Stewart,Jonquel Jones,Alyssa Thomas and Nneke.Now you add Clark,outstanding like Boston,but have played together in this system for 5 games.And I love Clark,but she made some mistakes too.What are people expecting?They played together for 5 games.And Boston has beefed up because where is he defensive help or rebounding help?I can only name Smith on the boards,but what about defense.Has anyone payed attention to Boston's block shot totals?Or how about how many times she sets screens for Clark to get up shots.Boston is not a transtiion player.Her strength is the half court.Get her the ball in the paint and let her go to work and draw fouls.Smith and Hull are the transition players.My point is,this is not a 3 woman team(Clark,Boston,and Smith).And Mitchell supplies nothing else if she does not score.Those three can't do everything.Winning championships is not just about what your stars do.Are the role players consistent?The league is at a point now where there is too much talent on each team to rely on two stars to win the game.And the coaching strategy is horrible.But I end by saying,its only been five games.Did people expect them to dominate immediately?Your expectations are too high.This team needs to work on chemistry with the goal being....Get to the playoffs.

No rule on shaking hands with Clark or any other player...what is wrong with you? lol Dude just gonna make shyt up like some law was broken.
@@pauld315WNBA usually does though.
That pass to CC has some "EXTRA SAUCE" in it makes you think like🤔🤔🤔and that "TIP" of Boston was like 🤔🤔🤔😞😞😞..
😂😂😂😂 ur lying
you got it. the pass was low, late, behind her, and way to hard, to a person on the move. you have to lead that person accordingly. Wallace did not do that. she threw it to where she was instead of where she was going. ask a qb.
😂😂😂😂
Yea, let's see CC's 2" vertical.
The league was on its way out without her
Boston has been playing like trash lately! Tips the ball right to Seattle!
combination of bad pass and CC taking eyes of the ball maybe?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Why was Clark still on the floor after losing the inbound??????? And NOT up hustling!!!!!!!! C.C. IS EXTREMELY LAZY.
Nonsense
Clark needs better teammates and a coach. Jordan didn’t become great until Pippen arrived.
You are a liar..Jordan as a rookie took his losing team immediately to the playoffs and every year thereafter...Pippen didn't get there until at least 4 years later....meanwhile Jordan took his team to the playoffs every year and went into the Boston Garden in his 2nd year and dropped 63 points on the top ranked Celtics BEFORE Pippen joined the team.
I'm having difficulty recognizing myself because suddenly for the first time in nearly 8 decades I can't wait to get Tickets to a WNBA Game!!
Indiana could definitely benefit from a better coaching staff. I've noticed in many of their games they have trouble just inbounding the ball.
worst center i've ever seen on any team, including pre schoolers.
🤣🤣🤣I gave her high school but yours is better. I also like clumsy cc
🙂😊😁😄😆😂🤣👏👍🏆
Aliyah Boston is no longer a rookie and should not play like one which she still seems to do.
WATCH THE VIDEO, the inbound pass was behind Clark, she's 6'0" not 6'3"
@@superyt4ever sorry but she is too busy being a reporter instead of being a beast on the court.
Clark dropping the ball and the Fever center tipping it to Seattle player. Mistakes at the end of the game when game is on the line most always ends in a loss.
It seems like their leaning to much on KC right out of the gate. The rest of the Fever players need to step up and start shouldering the intensity to win.
Rookie Clarke played like a true Champion she is... Already beating WNBA veterans.
0-5
At what
😂😂😂
Yes, she's doing a great job. And those who "think" basketball is the essence of life are going to bitch and moan, and act like a loss is the end of the world, etc. It's "just" a game, folks. Let's applaud ALL of the players for a good and entertaining game. Character, personality, love and faith mean more than a string of victories.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 CHAMPION. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Jill Biden, I SEE'ya girl.
Kristy Wallace should not take the ball out ever again lol
Horrible pass by Wallace. The Fever can’t win without some help for Clark.
You've got it azz backwards, Scoobie.....Clark was suppose to be THE HELP. The GOAT...like Jordan going to the last place Bulls and immediately taking them to the playoffs as a rookie....or Larry Bird going to the last place Celtics and immediately taking them to the playoffs WITH THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE his rookie year. They did it with the same losing players from the previous year. How come Clark has no impact on her team winning like Jordan and Bird did? Jordan and Bird didn't blame their losing teammates or make excuses...they got the job done and took their teams to the playoffs. Too many excuses for Clark, when Clark is suppose to be the greatest player of all time, as you and her other fans repeatedly declared.
Bad pass to Clark.
@@waldolydecker8118 You need to watch the replay preferably in slow motion. It was a bad pass to Clark to her left and not to her right side.
Can we say that Boston is NOT what this team needs. Clark n Mitchell are mustangs n Boston is a two legged half blind Clydesdale, No rim running, no ability to make anything beyond an inch from the rim, easily blocked, constantly messing up good passes from Clark n others. I keep hearing how good she is I've watched all five games n her shooting percentage is like she's shooting blind or something.
I agree she didn’t touch a basketball 🏀 in the offseason she’s slow
WNBA…nuff said
I do think people need to lay off of Boston. Yes she screwed up royally this year & came in out of shape & is going thru a post rookie slump, but she has Caitlin Clark's back. While other players are just standing around watching when CC is getting double & triple teamed, Boston is the one coming over to help her. I have seen how CC & Boston trying to figure it out & work together. Clark & Boston do really like each other & I see them trying to help & support each other on this team in other ways too, so I think people need to have patience with Boston.
The Seattle Storm’s Play-by-Play announcer is over the top in his calling a game.
Omg, right??? It was truly so annoying!
He's the Seattle Storms announcer so he's gonna be hyped when the home team makes a big play to win the game!😂 Take your L back to Indy!
Many of the home team announcers for the WNBA are more concerned with hyping up the home team than calling the game. You should hear the announcers for the Aces. They barely pay attention to what is happening in the actual game & barely mention any of the actual plays. They just spend most of the game just praising the accomplishments of Aja Wilson & then occasionally they take a break to praise the rest of the Aces team. The Fever has Debbie Antonelli announcing games & she is very good & knows what she is talking about.
@@amyk6319 - Debbie Antonelli is no different than the other home announcers....she is paid by Indiana to praise the home team, so she spends all game praising everything Clark does and making excuses when she and her team screw up. That's how it goes...as a Clark fan you love Antonelli cause she's part of the Indiana overall team. The other announcers across the league rightfully give a different perspective when Clark comes to their building. They rightfully desire their home team to win like Antonelli prefers to see Indiana win.
@@waldolydecker8118 Actually I don't think I listened to the Fever's home commentary yet, so your right I cannot speak to that specifically. But I did hear Antonelli as a guest commentator for the first Aces game & I've seen some interviews she's done. And she is smart & knows the game well enough to give insight into the plays of the game. And I've heard all the commentators praise Clark at times. My issue is when team commentators seem more interested in doing general promo for things the team or specific players are doing outside the games vs providing a play by play of the actual live game you are watching. For ex. I thought the Sparks home commentators did a great job of calling the game & giving detailed play by plays.
All they needed was 2 pts. Why go to Clark? Go inside and possibly Boston would have gotten fouled. ESPN should be ashamed themselves. This game should have been televised.
Because she's the playmaker..the only one with an above average basketball IQ
@@kenbrickman4412 stupid
I love that she passes a lot. She isn't only making herself look good, she is making all the players on her team play their best versions of themselves. The better she plays, her whole team plays better.
After the jump ball, the player traveled
That Christie she’s not a coach she does not know what she’s doing when they talk to her tomorrow. It’ll be a different story. She’ll blame it on somebody. It won’t be her. She’s perfect.!!!!
The WNBA is going to be fun this year.
WTF is a reset Time out
No idea ..Lol
From the rulebook:
A Reset timeout is a stoppage of play requested by a team that allows it to advance the ball and make substitutions but not huddle. Each team is entitled to one Reset in the final two minutes of the fourth period and one in the final two minutes of any overtime period.
Basically, in the final two minutes each team can choose to advance the ball without burning a timeout. No huddle, but can substitute
Its a timeout that Indiana called after 5 games when they came to the conclusion that they were duped in the draft and would like a "reset" so they can do it over and get it right.
I love this team. I don't know all your names yet but I will.❤
Wallace blew both inbound passes , the first one Clark would have threaded that needle for a layup and then Boston s dumb uncoordinated tip
Always someone else's fault and never your Goat!😂
I am not sure about something the announcer said on that last free throw. You don't want to intentionally miss with 2.6 seconds left. With a make the other team has a chance to get a little ready, because the clock stops. If you miss you might get the rebound plus time goes during the scramble for the ball.
No mention of the player from Seattle scoring 32 points just every camera on Clark
That's how Clark got famous...All cameras on her, none elsewhere. See, it ain't what you accomplish, its what the decision makers decide to show. Jewel Loyd accomplished MORE, but the decision makers decide to show everything Clark does and nothing Loyd does...this is how Clark became a household name while the other top players were minimized.
Hahaha ganyan talaga ang laro minsan panalo at minsan e talo. Basta happy naman ang manonood kasi anjan ang CC
#1 pick should be able to catch that pass!! No excuses!
Be honest. It was a poor pass. CC had forward momentum and the pass forced her to reach backwards while going forward. I'm not saying that it wasn't catchable, but it was an easy pass to lead CC to the baseline to catch it. How...how was that pass so bad?
@@medmuscle No. she should have caught it. You said it yourself it was catchable so nothing else need to be said. No excuses
It was a bad pass. You don’t pass the ball to her left when she is clearly moving to her right and to the ball, therefore anybody with a brain passing the ball in would lead the shooter. She didn’t, the passer took the shot out of CCs hands. I am not defending CC because I like her or think she is the greatest player, I am just pointing out facts from a “shooters” viewpoint. If you have ever played bball, you always pass to the shooter’s hands, this pass wasn’t passed to her hands as she had to reach back. You have no credibility if you think that the passer didn’t make a bad pass.
Preach!!! They want to give her Goat status but when it's time to deliver on that status it's fumbled away and blamed on her teammates instead!😂
@@CutLikeDat Technically, a ball is "catchable" if there is only a 1% chance of it being caught. You are purposely oversimplifying and omitting all possibilities and contexts to push a narrative. Regardless of a ball being "catchable" doesn't negate the criticism of a pass. Not every pass that's "catchable" is good.
Did the pass lead her to the correct spot? Yes or no?
My God, the teams that cannot inbound the ball! This is high school stuff.
Happens at EVERY level, clown....where you been?
Bad inbound pass to Clark lost the game.
I rarely watched a WNBA game before but now I watch all the Indiana fever games. All of them. It’s pretty exciting now. It’s actually like basketball rather than a bunch of angry women running around.
The Fever were very very bad last year. They are only very bad this year. That's an improvement, but the team still sucks, and the coach sucks too. However , C.C. is looking pretty good for a rookie 5 games in. She is going to get WAY BETTER and it's going to make you HATERS CRY
If the fever team sucks Caitlin sucks too Caitlin is not a one-man team Caitlin is on the fever team the fever team done their best the Seattle Storm team were just better
@@bbickham5715Nope.
Jordan and LeBron were on losing teams early in their careers. Individual greatness =/= team greatness.
I thought the objective was to 'Win' Championships/Games, not get better.
@@StanleyNewman-bk9bh Those two things are mutually exclusive.
Wtffffff is Chrissy sides thinking having that girl inbound the ball omgggggg she needs to be fired her choice of rotation is terrible
11 seconds with Caitlyn on the bench. I think there are lot of jealous people on the Fever team. The coach its my way not Caitlyn's way
