Great breakdown. I really miss watching Caitlin play with teammates who know basketball. I will say the Fever have gotten better but they are still only barely watchable because of lack of fundamentals and basic execution. You have one player who understands and executes them at the highest level playing with people who probably don’t understand and certainly don’t execute. I wish the young man who posted this video was coaching the Fever. He understands and knows exactly what’s going on.
CC draws so much attention that Mitchell is wide open over and over again. I don't remember Clark having an uncontested shot all season, unless the defender fell down or something.
This guy who does this analysis is very good at what he does. Great insight and very informative. I noticed something he does a lot that was making me laugh pretty hard. Perhaps I recognize it, because I'm often guilty of it, especially in my comments. And that's repeating everything. Give him the nickname Jimmy two times or even Jimmy 3 times. It's nothing bad, it's just something that upon noticing it you'll see that he does it nearly everytime and right now I'm guilty of it because I reiterated the point twice. This guy is awesome though, it's not a hard critique
This reminds me of some FIBA U19 games and definitely the first two years of CC college years. Once the players get used to her. I think Fagbenle, Hull, Wallace and Samuelson will be her best teammates moving quickly and not playing hero ball. CC is all about getting there someone making the shot and turning away quickly. They just gotta have that glue.
Can you do a post from the beginning to now where coach has repeatedly said that they need to push to the paint and then the beginning when the coach said that Kaytlyn can’t take the shots that she’s used to. Need to show coach that she is the reason behind the issue. CC is not shooting Moore one because she doesn’t get open because her teammates don’t too because her teammates don’t pass her but three because she doesn’t feel empowered to take the shot she used to it’s obvious
It's weird bc caitlin leaves before the screen is even set so much now, but she really didn't do that in college. I have a feeling they're not practicing screening at all or not being corrected or something. Idk, it's weird.
I will say it, she suks. You can't have two #1 guards either. KM is a #1 guard on another team and she has trouble catching some passes. They should trade her and get a good shooting guard like Paxton was to Jordan. CC has to step up now and demand the ball be in her hands. I'd trade #1 too.
Caitlin knows how to run the pick and roll. That was her bread and butter in college. I think she may be trying to compensate while her teammates are still learning how to do it. Aliyah is certainly a quick study which was predicable. I think the opportunity to play with Aliyah is a big reason Caitlin wanted to come to Indiana. Anyway, you are very talented and I love your channel. The Fever should be watching your videos.
@mizmary5601 how could they not know how to run the pick and roll . And how can a player get away with being a ball hog . I only played when I was 11 and 12 years old and our coaches would bench your azz and chew you out the whole time you were sitting on the bench with your mouth shut .
CC needs to be better at recognizing where the defenders are at off the pick and roll… understand where her defender is behind, below, or switching and this is based on how good the screen is and how tight she is to the screener, lastly the screener defender either shows to recover, doubles, or just sags… at any rate keep your dribble force the defense to commit to something then react
@@CarterMomon -- thanks! though it's definitely not "advice" -- you're doing a great job, and it would be legitimate for you to tell me to start somewhere else, and not expect you to hold my hand. I'm just a newbie, and it's obvious that you (and probably most of your viewers) can process this material that quickly.
I thought it was interesting that Caitlin has said she learned passing angles from playing soccer in an interview once. I grew up playing soccer at a high level as my primary sport for 25 years, and we got angles beat into our heads lol. On ball or off the ball, the whole game is about taking your space and providing angles to your teammates as outlets to advance the ball. It's all about dominating possession of the ball over the other team, so you need to learn how to support each other out on the field, and that means learning how to anticipate passing lanes and providing angles to help whoever has the ball. This whole fever team could learn a lot from some soccer like drills replicated to fit a basketball team. Caitlin is so far ahead of them in seeing this stuff right now, so they're having to react instead of anticipate, which is probably contributing to some of them constantly bobbling the ball.
Thank you for this comment. Now I see how and why she plays the way she does. This is why she’s so dominant out there. She’s taken these things from soccer and applied it to basketball. She’s way ahead of everyone with this.
Yeah, soccer players pass to where a teammate should be in relation to the speed of the teammate towards the goal and this is nothing to talk about in the NBA as everyone does it. In the wnba it is a little rare to see especially those passes of caitlin that are high risk but pays dividends if the teammate catches it.
On the second turnover, Kristy Wallace should be at the 3 pt line ready to shoot. Her defender leaves her since she is off in the corner daydreaming. Fever have terrible coaching
People still talk so much 💩 about those TurnOvers, but how many of those have Jason Tatun, Jalen Brown, Luka Doncic or any other PG because of the position? Let stop this false narratice once and for all. Let's be real about Caitlin's skills in this game; many likes to down play her, but in the end the numbers are there to support her quality!
Love your reactions on the Fever, especially these turnover assist videos. I don't catch all the little things that you see and I appreciate you pointing them out.
First time watching your channel, and you definitely have a sharp eye and mind when covering CC and her team on the court…. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Hope you get to coach someday, if you’re not already…👍
@@CarterMomon you’re welcome…you have a bright future ahead…keep on being the best you can be in whatever bucket list opportunities you decide to pursue…✌️
Caitlin has few weaknesses feeding the ball for assists and you can tell how her teammates are excited about it. How much does it contribute? Everything. She had 13 assists which would be 26 points but was there some 3`s? Probably so. 26 with Caitlins 17 points would mean Caitlin was directly responsible for 43 points in the game. Good video.
I love your compilations Mr. Carter. Assuming that the otherwise terrible Sides is a good teacher and motivator while the players don’t take it upon themselves to be taught and motivated, then these indicate that Sides may have lost the locker room; Exhibit #1: Sides has her hands cupped nearly in a prayer position close at her chest as if she’s trying to protect herself from being vocally assaulted as was captured in that famous video still shot while CC, surrounded it seems by the most reliable players, throws out her arms as if in resignation.
Alright, so now we finally have a female who can play. Now we just need 4 more who can catch a pass and make a simple layup. And they just waved goodbye to one. Sigh.
I agree that some of them will come together and become an exciting team. I do have questions about several of the players though (if they are willing to come together) and some coaching decisions.
@@theothernatfife5004 Wallace, Sides, and Mitchell are definitely not team oriented, Sides from willful stubbornness while the other two from heroic selfishness.
Caitlin Clark now has 106 Turnovers for the season. The next closest player has 66. All-time WNBA record for Turnovers in a season is 137 Clark is on pace to have over 200 Turnovers for the season...she will shatter the record by a large margin By the way, the vast majority of her turnovers come from intercepted passes and players stealing the ball from her, so stop with the excuses
That first turnover was Clark's fault. When you're passing to a fast break player in transition like that you have to lead them. Pass the pass in front of them..."basket catch". Caitlin didn't do that. Instead, she threw it behind the player instead of in front. That's what caused the turnover
We need a video on yesterday game!! What happen to the fever after being on a roll? I think mentally they are in their own way right now. Caitlin needs to step up as a leader like MJ did 😂 who cares what ppl think or teammates. When you win, that’s what makes everyone happy.
You can see Boston has figured out CC can be your best friend on the court. Her stats are showing it! And she is also now starting to come to CC’s defense. With the right coach, CC and Boston could be the first 2 of a power Triad. MJ was so much more fun to watch when he had Pippen and Rodman…
You are on target calling her more Steve Nash than Curry, Jordan or LeBron. You could compare her to Kidd and Stockton too but with a much better 3 point jump shot.
Yes, Boston needs some coaching on how to set a pick. The key word is "set". Stop and plant until the defender has been shucked, then roll toward the basket. Clark needs to pass the pick setter as closely as possible, which she has not been doing well. Boston is a wide body, no disrespect intended, and I'm sure can set a very solid, difficult to get through or around, pick, if executed right.
Why don't you do a "BLOWN ASSISTS" super cut. I watched soooo many blown layups, offensive rebound and then a put back. AKA blown assist, padded offensive rebound stat.
The first was attainable but not a great pass she jumped off fingertips so slightly high. She needs time with her team understand strengths and weaknesses signals skills abilities and just general chemistry. That'll make them catching more and her passing more on point. You're not giving her team enough credit for some of those made shots on not amazing passes. That 3rd Turnover was HORRIBLE and was completely her fault. Some good in the key passing from Clark. Clark don't do the pump fake enough to drawn the foul but your right she can utilize the defense.The last Turnover was bad all over I'd say 4 4.5 off them her responsibility 1 was CLEARLY not
You have so much talent in analyzing the game. NBA and WBA need to recognize you. I just checked who has the most turnovers of all time. For NBA - Lebron James. For WNBA - Diana Taurasi.
😂This is a clown show to insert WNBA Clark's turnovers. The whole league filled with funny, all kinds of turnovers. Highlight points scored, rebounds, assists, steals instead. Turnovers?? 😂 The real comical flops are all those easy missed layups and short jumpers like a volleyball. Get it together. This guy is clever and tripping for real. 😂😂Lol
Christie Sides sucks. I’ll say it. She can’t coach/teach what she doesn’t know. She’s in over head and inept. Mitchell could be great…but she’s selfish with the ball. Smith ? What TEAM? AB is at least learning how to play with CC. I see no Team…I see CC not being respected. Caitlin Clark is a better coach than Sides.
Boston comes from South Carolina. DS knows how to coach bigs [see A'ja Wilson, Kamilla Cardoso]. They know how to "rim run" and roll. The issue here [as I see it] is CC has to slow down and setup the screens better. She's moving before her screeners get set. Allowing for the defense to play through the screens. Again, a rookie getting used to the speed of the league. I will say this about the coach. She doesn't seem to run many plays for CC, as far as I can see. Using the Steph Curry analogy, if you get CC going early, especially from deep, it would open the court for your other young star [AB].
I do not think that the WNBA coaches are going to allow CC and the Fever be successful. I think Sides is compromised. The way that the Sky coach hugged and whispered in in Sides ear when the won, but the last time they played, the Sky coach was cold to Sides and barely looked at her. The interactions was like day an night. Fever would have won the game IF Sides would have continued what they had done in the first 3 quarters. Truly looked like a thrown game.
12:13 lying like a mf. The entire left side is open with 10 seconds left. Clark wants a screen and Boston drops back correctly pulling her defender away from Clark and keeping Chennedy honest on her defender. Clark has no offensive moveset outside of a pick so she forces a chest pass instead of a bounce pass but what's the plan here? Boston gonna turn and shoot? We've seen Clark do this before and we've seen these channels riding a wave to dismiss the fact that she leads the league in turnover for plays exactly like this. Stop lying to the kids. You know ball or sound like it so why are you lying on Aliyah?
5:52 - I will go to my grave saying Kelsey intentionally did not catch this pass. She had eyes on it the entire time. The pass was coming from the other end of the court. Yet, after it sails past her, a second later she turns her head like it caught her off guard and she never saw it. Bullshyt. She and Smith in particular, have been sabotaging Caitlin all season long.
5:50 - those are some of the slowest reflexes that I've ever seen by Kelsy Mitchell. Terry Shivo had faster reflexes than that. It was a lob pass in which the receiver could and should have made up any difference in the pass. Perhaps with the time running down on a subconscious level she knew that cutting off the bounce would make her too off balance and she got torn between two decisions of catching it before or after the bounce, resulting in neither. Don't know, but that shouldn't have been a turn over for Caitlin Clark, especially taking into account the shot clock.
I haven't watched much women's basketball but one difference that I notice between men's and women's basketball is the women play sooooo much more lazy. They seem to be tired and give a half ass effort at times. It's something you rarely if ever see in men's basketball. And it's not jut in reference to the turnovers, but a few of those turnovers were turnovers because of extremely lazy efforts.
Hi man - a thousand cheers for your work and videos. You add tremendous value to us as fans by analyzing these moves, and you bring knowledge, penetrating expertise, and charm. My first suggestion - add quality to your presentations; the cuts from the game run too fast and once you present your analysis, it’s hard to go back and see how right you are, and the depth you add to understanding the game. Do it is as voice over, or show the cut in slow motion, use colors, arrows etc. to flash out what you’re saying. You may need to master some more editing tools, but that’s how you, like the Fever players you’re analyzing, will grow and improve. Very soon, you may become a huge star. I can almost guarantee it, you have it in you. Don’t settle though, continue improving the quality!
Thanks for the great advice! I’m definitely going to take my editing game to the next level. I’m currently editing from my phone, so an upgrade is definitely coming.
I understand what you're trying to say about screens and block outs, these players should know how to screen and roll by know, they played basketball in highschool and college and should know by now.
love your content , but say it "christy sides sucks" her Coaching style for past 2 years is low post half court run ball through the bigs. everything else she is clueless..
You are doing a really great job, I really appreciate your presentations. How can I make a contribution to you so as to show my appreciation for what you are doing?
Hey, I would truly appreciate any donation you would like to send! My Cashapp is $ConvosWithCarter (CarterMomon). If Cashapp doesn’t work for you, under my video (where you can like and share) there is a small button called “thanks” that will have a small heart next to it. You can donate from there as well, though UA-cam will take a cut of that donation. Thank you very much! It’s greatly appreciated.
You are putting my thoughts into video, man! You're the first one (besides myself) I've seen say out loud that Clark picks up her dribble too quick. I was so frustrated I posted on her X account, "STOP PICKING UP YOU DRIBBLE" somewhere around game 7. I doubt she ever read it, but not too long after that she started getting BETTER at not picking it up so much before she's ready to pass- I do think someone finally went over game film with her about it.
I’m glad you’re liking the videos! 🤝 The main issue I personally have with CC picking up her dribble is that she didn’t do it all that much in college! I seriously wonder what causes these blunders.
@@CarterMomon I went back and re-watched a portion of a couple of games. No she doesn't do it that much, you're right. When she does, she's got teammates in open positions she can get the ball to. I think it's a combination of the intense defensive pressure she is facing as well as her teammates not moving and finding open spots on the floor. However the problem is being addressed, it seems to be getting better.
nailed it on the turn overs . after watching and re-watching most of the fevers games a 1/3 of CCs turn overs could be blamed on her team mates .
Not could - absolutely SHOULD. This stat is the only stat they can use to show a chink in CC's armor.
Loved this video! Thank you, thank you! I'm old but so want to learn and you are helping my enjoyment of the game exponentially.
I want you to be Fevers' next coach.
nice, however the snakes poison combination may be deadly for a young man. Joking.
Hahaha pure gold!!

Give him the nickname Jimmy two times or even Jimmy 3 times. It's nothing bad, it's just something that upon noticing it you'll see that he does it nearly everytime and right now I'm guilty of it because I reiterated the point twice.
This guy is awesome though, it's not a hard critique
It may even be a good thing to reiterate, so don't change the habit
You do a great Job
This reminds me of some FIBA U19 games and definitely the first two years of CC college years. Once the players get used to her. I think Fagbenle, Hull, Wallace and Samuelson will be her best teammates moving quickly and not playing hero ball. CC is all about getting there someone making the shot and turning away quickly. They just gotta have that glue.
AB has also learned to catch the ball and shoot where before she always wanted to catch and then dribble.
Can you do a post from the beginning to now where coach has repeatedly said that they need to push to the paint and then the beginning when the coach said that Kaytlyn can’t take the shots that she’s used to.
Need to show coach that she is the reason behind the issue. CC is not shooting Moore one because she doesn’t get open because her teammates don’t too because her teammates don’t pass her but three because she doesn’t feel empowered to take the shot she used to it’s obvious
Can you talk about next time the Showdown with Smith and Reese
I meant to tell you yesterday that I did your video idea. Thanks for the idea! 🤝
send this video to the fever coach
Dude 99% of the time CCs passes hit her teammates right in the hands. NFL wide receivers have to be drooling to get the ball like that.
It's weird bc caitlin leaves before the screen is even set so much now, but she really didn't do that in college. I have a feeling they're not practicing screening at all or not being corrected or something. Idk, it's weird.
I agree entirely. It is very odd.
Caitlin Clark knows how to set and play off screens the team needs to learn how to
Boston is a Naismith winner and last years ROY and you think she is just now learning this?
i don’t understand how this female wnba player had this many turnovers in one game 😮like WTF !! 🤦🏾♂️😪
No way they don't know how to catch passes or set screens or make layups or bunny hops no fn way .
I will say it for you Sides sucks and should be fired she has no clue and is the problem with the team and bring down CC game
I will say it, she suks. You can't have two #1 guards either. KM is a #1 guard on another team and she has trouble catching some passes. They should trade her and get a good shooting guard like Paxton was to Jordan. CC has to step up now and demand the ball be in her hands. I'd trade #1 too.

The issue here [as I see it] is CC has to slow down and setup the screens better. She's moving before her screeners get set. Allowing for the defense to play through the screens. Again, a rookie getting used to the speed of the league. I will say this about the coach. She doesn't seem to run many plays for CC, as far as I can see. Using the Steph Curry analogy, if you get CC going early, especially from deep, it would open the court for your other young star [AB].
I do not think that the WNBA coaches are going to allow CC and the Fever be successful. I think Sides is compromised. The way that the Sky coach hugged and whispered in in Sides ear when the won, but the last time they played, the Sky coach was cold to Sides and barely looked at her. The interactions was like day an night. Fever would have won the game IF Sides would have continued what they had done in the first 3 quarters. Truly looked like a thrown game.
12:13 lying like a mf.
The entire left side is open with 10 seconds left. Clark wants a screen and Boston drops back correctly pulling her defender away from Clark and keeping Chennedy honest on her defender.
Clark has no offensive moveset outside of a pick so she forces a chest pass instead of a bounce pass but what's the plan here? Boston gonna turn and shoot?
We've seen Clark do this before and we've seen these channels riding a wave to dismiss the fact that she leads the league in turnover for plays exactly like this.
Stop lying to the kids. You know ball or sound like it so why are you lying on Aliyah?
Lebron James has the most turnovers in NBA history.. Kobe is #1
The top 20 of all time turnovers are in the hall of fame.
5:52 - I will go to my grave saying Kelsey intentionally did not catch this pass. She had eyes on it the entire time. The pass was coming from the other end of the court. Yet, after it sails past her, a second later she turns her head like it caught her off guard and she never saw it. Bullshyt. She and Smith in particular, have been sabotaging Caitlin all season long.
Sloppy post up Aaliyah carries Caitlin Kaitlyn scored 90% of her fucking threes off of the pic
5:50 - those are some of the slowest reflexes that I've ever seen by Kelsy Mitchell. Terry Shivo had faster reflexes than that. It was a lob pass in which the receiver could and should have made up any difference in the pass. Perhaps with the time running down on a subconscious level she knew that cutting off the bounce would make her too off balance and she got torn between two decisions of catching it before or after the bounce, resulting in neither. Don't know, but that shouldn't have been a turn over for Caitlin Clark, especially taking into account the shot clock.
I haven't watched much women's basketball but one difference that I notice between men's and women's basketball is the women play sooooo much more lazy. They seem to be tired and give a half ass effort at times. It's something you rarely if ever see in men's basketball. And it's not jut in reference to the turnovers, but a few of those turnovers were turnovers because of extremely lazy efforts.
Hi man - a thousand cheers for your work and videos. You add tremendous value to us as fans by analyzing these moves, and you bring knowledge, penetrating expertise, and charm. My first suggestion - add quality to your presentations; the cuts from the game run too fast and once you present your analysis, it’s hard to go back and see how right you are, and the depth you add to understanding the game. Do it is as voice over, or show the cut in slow motion, use colors, arrows etc. to flash out what you’re saying. You may need to master some more editing tools, but that’s how you, like the Fever players you’re analyzing, will grow and improve. Very soon, you may become a huge star. I can almost guarantee it, you have it in you. Don’t settle though, continue improving the quality!
Thanks for the great advice! I’m definitely going to take my editing game to the next level. I’m currently editing from my phone, so an upgrade is definitely coming.
I understand what you're trying to say about screens and block outs, these players should know how to screen and roll by know, they played basketball in highschool and college and should know by now.
I want to watch CC play, I'm not watching any more games until Sides is OUT.
love your content , but say it "christy sides sucks" her Coaching style for past 2 years is low post half court run ball through the bigs. everything else she is clueless..
Key words " They are not coached properly." Got it. Your fired coach. 😂😂😂l,
Some common sense.. nice to listen to
Could you do a vid on reese misses/rebounds? I’m tryna see how many of her own she catches
These are supposed to be professional players should they not teach that in college is coach has never had a winning record
Another impressive video young man!! Great content as always!!
Thanks! 💯🤝
Is Mitchell trying to make Clark look bad?
Boston can't catch a ball with zip on it. Do you think CC can't see that?
do a video on Angle Reese living in the paint and no three-second rule called...
wow if you think that pass was off line your nuts she dropped 3 passes
I'll say it for you. Coach Sides sucks.
The first one is absolutely her TO.
Thank you. You need to be a Fever analysis.
I do love to see it!
Great analysis. Thank you
You are doing a really great job, I really appreciate your presentations. How can I make a contribution to you so as to show my appreciation for what you are doing?
Hey, I would truly appreciate any donation you would like to send! My Cashapp is $ConvosWithCarter (CarterMomon). If Cashapp doesn’t work for you, under my video (where you can like and share) there is a small button called “thanks” that will have a small heart next to it. You can donate from there as well, though UA-cam will take a cut of that donation.
Thank you very much! It’s greatly appreciated.
You are putting my thoughts into video, man! You're the first one (besides myself) I've seen say out loud that Clark picks up her dribble too quick. I was so frustrated I posted on her X account, "STOP PICKING UP YOU DRIBBLE" somewhere around game 7. I doubt she ever read it, but not too long after that she started getting BETTER at not picking it up so much before she's ready to pass- I do think someone finally went over game film with her about it.
I’m glad you’re liking the videos! 🤝 The main issue I personally have with CC picking up her dribble is that she didn’t do it all that much in college! I seriously wonder what causes these blunders.
@@CarterMomon I went back and re-watched a portion of a couple of games. No she doesn't do it that much, you're right. When she does, she's got teammates in open positions she can get the ball to. I think it's a combination of the intense defensive pressure she is facing as well as her teammates not moving and finding open spots on the floor. However the problem is being addressed, it seems to be getting better.
Coach Sides SUCKSSSS!!
Did you know Caitlin is dating a coach for the Pacers?
Yes, I’ve heard. I love the Pacers, so I hope he can bring some of those Pacer scemes to the Fever.
You could coach
Terrific!
Best channel for real assessment not just talk.
I appreciate the compliment, Stranger. 🤝
CC needs to watch hours of Stockton to Malone P & R cut ups…..they were the best bar none
You’re right but also Nash and Stodumire.
@@yzeliav ahhh yes I forgot Steve….doesn’t count though cuz he’s Canadian 🤣🤣🤣j/k
Another excellent video explaining how the plays are done and what they are called, which is perfect for us newbies.
