Build around CC. Stop the teammates from ignoring her.
MAKE PLAYS FOR CAITLIN CLARK MAKE HER THE PRIORITY!!!
She is that’s why when they benched her the team looked good
@@Blaze116_did you eat a bowl of stupid? Did you even watch the game? Got within 5 and they take CC out! Wtf!? Yeah, we need a genius like you runnin' $hit. SMH you dummies make me laugh! Growing pains suck! Go Fever!🤙🏽❤️🏀
I been a huge Caitlin fan for a while now, but it’s almost impossible to watch the best point guard in college history sit in the corner possession after possession… come on coach - the team was 13-27 last year. If you’re not going to be any good, at least give the fans what they want to see
That’s because Christie is telling her this is good for her game and I wish she would rebel and said I’m not gonna play with this coach. She need to be fired. She’s changing Cc game and she’s playing a losing style of basketball.
@@brandonzzz1 Caitlin needs to go to GM and say "coach goes or I go." I think she has the power to pull that off.
Not with a contract
Best PG in history lol
@@1StesonI wish…I think she’s locked in for at least 3 years contractually. But people who come to see Caitlin play are going to leave. This coach has her buried. Is killing her confidence. Doesn’t want her to stand out. She will ultimately pay the price for this disastrous coaching and blaming the players. I’ve NEVER heard a coach say at a media event that her team needs to take more pride in themselves. EVER. THAT was a punch in the mouth, right there.
CC was doing great with Grace Berger
In college 🧐🤔😂😂😂 …. She’s fuckin trash at this level in every aspect of the game right now ! 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Grace Burger is a DELIGHT! But Clark is stagnant, not moving when she doesn't have the ball. Burger is a continuous whirl wind.
The players that want to play seem to be cc , smith , berger , hull...
@@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo let me guess you’re a Hoosiers fan. How much did CC hurt your feelings in college?
I agree!
She calls her a point guard and yet keeps playing her as a shooting guard… so she is aware that she’s putting her in the wrong place right..? Sides keeps saying they have showed no pride, but where’s your accountability as a coach?! How do you not feel your leadership was lacking in such a massive loss? You are the coach!!
Because she’s the teachers pet 💩pew wheeler
CC Should be the Floor General, run the offense like she did at Iowa. (That's what a Point Guard does)
10 turnovers
@@A2ThaDshe only had 3 this game bro.
@@NoblesseSnake I know, I was just giving waxyblaze the reason she wasn’t really running point guard this game as much. Ten turnovers last game and you expect her to be the floor general the next game vs a team that went to the finals last yr? Plus ppl gotta understand she was being guarded by one of the best defenders in the league so respectfully it wouldn’t be wise to keep it in Cait’s hands too long. They should’ve done a better job setting off ball screens to her so she could catch and shoot.
This coach is getting on my nerves .
Agreed
The offensive scheme is crap. The defensive scheme is non existence. Toughness won’t do a damn thing when there is so much poor decision maker. Wheeler is not helping your team, she’s a distraction. Boston is out of shape.
Christie is a plant for the other team. She is them she here sabotage caitlin Clark Courier . We need to get rid of her like yesterday.
Well Said & Spot On
Boston damn near missed 20 points right under the damn basket,sorry and slow
Boston just shut u played horrible and u didn't play hard at all
Boston just shut u played horrible and u didn't play hard at all
Coaching is pathetic, she takes no accountability, no adjustments. She is not a head coach.
She is a Head Case.
@@user-dy4tt9ek3u The team has a QB that is forced to hand-off instead of launching bombs.
Sides has no game plan & lost to many games last season. Sides must go awful she has no clue how to coach.
She never was a HC until the fever and it shows!
I can feel her hating on Clark. She doesn't like her....like the FEVER we're good before she got there or something. Absolutely pathetic
This coach is clueless. She would make Larry Bird play with his back to the basket. She would tell Michael Jordan to stop showing off. She would tell Magic that he is too tall to be a point guard, we are moving you to forward. She has zero idea how to use the NCAA all-time scorer and #2 all time in assists. Put the ball in her hand! She is not a spot up 2. She has been given the keys to a Ferrari and won’t take it out of the neighborhood. These women are lazy, won’t run the floor and Erica Wheeler won’t pass the ball to Clark. Come on!
Fever owner need to change the GM and coaching staff.
If I own this team , Christie would be fired tonight and I would replace the Star the season just start so this is the best time to replace your peoples and save your season
@@brandonzzz1I agree!
Woke loyalty has no place in a business. You need to exploit the talent you have
Look, losing to top teams is a fact of life but this is an embarrassment.
This game was Assisted Suicide, not a loss
But sides lost most of her games last season as she has no game plan just a spaz.
Yea but it happens. Twolves just beat the breaks off the Nuggets
Sides says the same thing but never makes the adjustments. Get people in who can run the floor & finish at the rim.
THIS!
Omg, I was thinking that too. She says the same thing everytime buyt, she can't figure anything out.
In all fairness, they barely have time to run practices and adjust. I believe the coach knows what she is doing. Her players need to be more physical and they need to shoot better, rebound better, and protect the ball better. They also need to throw some bodies around when the other team drives and has no opposition. A coach can only do so much. The players need to execute. They are playing tight. They need to loosen up and start having some fun. CC looked miserable.
@@hollyvaneis3426Thank you‼️ you can tell who has not played organized ball. These girls play with a lack of enthusiasm. Aliyah seems winded, she needs to tighten up (respectfully, I love her,) they need to catch passes and they have to finish at the rim. Coach can only tell you what to do, you have to implement it and actually want to win‼️ I get the team sucks but make it slightly competitive. Damn near 50 pts blowout is embarrassing! Chicago Sky beat the Liberty by 50 pts last week without Cardoso. Sheesh.
Sides has got it all wrong. She said her team won't be double teammed much. But the opposite is happening. She said Boston is in best shape. Wrong again. Boston needs conditiong. She's damn slow on her feet. This team looks even worse than last year. It's gonna be bad like their last season. Also coach get some confidence in ur players to shoot.
Agreed, she can’t finish her shots. Also why is AB in the high post?
Lisa bluder was at the game tonight hire her
so they can be just as bad
I know these last few games were ugly but that doesn’t mean Bluder is the answer. I honestly believe that would be a big mistake. There’s a reason she retired after this season and it’s not cause she’s planning to be Indiana’s coach.
Blunder is a goon!
She's retired from coaching
I hope the GM is looking for a new coach ASAP!
Kinda hoping there is more to Bluder being there than the obvious.
Christie is called screening. Can you have anybody run screen for Kaitlyn since you’re not using her as your point guard it’s called coaching.
Exactly if not then the fever are tanking again
Coach says she the PG, but she was playing off the ball 95% of the game. Coach saying it’s a mental toughness thing is a tough hill to die when the offense looks like that, saying they gotta figure out how to get stops when that’s a coaches job. This ain’t looking pretty right now
This coach is trash and she is dear to endure Cc game and make her look bad. She literally has Cc playing a losing ball basketball style that is not Cc style at all. This coach need to be fired tonight.
The problem is YOU coach. CC does not belong in the corner. She needs to run the fucking point
True but man cc can't get by anyone at this level
What does running the point mean? I've heard if for years but never really followed basketball like that so don't know what it means.
No team will let her play! They put hard rough animals on her whole time to shut her down! It’s so tough! I do g see how Clark can succeed? Wheeler is a ball hog who does nothing! Geez 🤦♀️

She acts like she "Owns Secretariat, but only wants to run him in Cheap "Claiming Races", rather than let him "Do What He Do" In The Triple Crown............"It's Still A Process"? Yeah, Coach, A Failing Process and very soon, you can Kiss Those 19,000 Fans, that you Appreciate so much, Goodbye.
Was I CC, I'd be packing my bags, to Get TF Out of that Crap Show Of A "Supposed" Professional, Elite Level Team.
Fire the coach 👌🏾
0:45 uhh yeah you just have to figure out a strategy hun...thats your job as a coach
How about YOU figure it out & start using the players strengths
This coach need to be fired tonight your shocking Cc game and you’re playing your own game. You’re playing the losing game. You are a trash coach.
Caitlin Clark is on the floor and Erica Wheeler and Kelsey Mitchell is handling the ball, when Clark does have the ball, everyone is stagnant, no double screens, no pick and roll, nothing, 4th Quarter after going on a run in the 3rd who is handling the ball ERICA WHEELER WHY IS SHE PLAYING 1 and CLARK SITTING IN A CORNER!?!?! My bigs were being out rebounded by a PG and Boston 5 offense rebounds came from her own misses, and Grace Berger was +4 with 4 minutes why is she sitting on the bench? AND ERICA WHEELER IS TOXIC AF HER TREATMENT OF GRACE IS WHY SHE NEEDS TO GO!!!
It was odd how much more movement there was when CC was on the bench. It seems like a certain few have not or refuse to gell with CC
They are doing it on purpose.
Lexi Hull should be on the court too... caitlin, Lexi, Grace.....
Wheeler is "Supposed" to be Mentoring and "Helping" CC adapt to The W's Level Of Play.........What say you about that supposition?
Yep! The only way forward is to get rid of Erica and Kelsie! They will never defer to Caitlin!! Either that or trade Caitlin to an expansion team that wants to build a team around her!
She doesn’t have any answers. She has no clue how to play Caitlin.
I bet she learned her coaching from Africa. Plenty of resources available but 0 utilization skills
She had the coach who knew how to play Caitlin right behind her. She should have turned around.
@nighttrain7404, don't worry that that same coach will be replacing her in a few weeks. I saw plenty of fight and toughness but I also saw a team unprepared to work as a team

@@Jibrillhakim fjbiden bby
why draft caitlin if you will just let stand her in the corner ? draft wasted !!! you should draft nika muhl or kate martin
CC22 is actually playing against 2 teams everytime, Fever and the opponent. Coaching staff eventually has to realize they need to build the team around her to define their offense. Nobody wants to watch a fumbling offense with their star player being misused, standing at the corner being iced by her supposed teammates. At this point, Coach Bluder is looking like a genius.
Exactly! Well said.
The coach must take some responsibility. I’ve seen Caitlin take responsibility even when it wasn’t her fault. So did MJ. That is what leadership is about. I’ve been a leader and whether I’ve been successful or not , I’ve always taken the blame. This team says a lot in their multiple press conferences but doesn’t do any of it on the court. The coach calls Clark the point guard and yet has wheeler playing point. I’m a huge Caitlin fan but I am not going to keep watching them get blown out. I suspect many new fans might not as well. Diehard wnba fans might still appreciate the sport but they are far and few in between. It’s the new fans like myself who can help the league grow to the next level.
Well said.
This is not a selfless team. Wheeler is out for herself. She clearly did not pass to CC when it was supposed to be. They are all jealous and won’t let her be CC. This team does need to be broken up and Caitlin needs a team built around her. They gotta do it fast before everyone loses interest.
They need the fast tempo style from Iowa with players who can run it. The coach is trying to make Caitlin fit them. Dummy. You gotta make the team fit her. But tbh e coach knows these old vets aren’t buying in. They say the right things, but their play shows they don’t want Caitlin to run things.
Bring in all the bench players who will rebound and run. Let Caitlin run fast pace with people who want to run like that. Bring wheeler and the old stiffs in for boring half court offense later.
ok. Let’s have wheeler shoot her ugly shot or feed the struggling bigs. That’s better? SMH.🤦
Wheeler and the poster below need to shut up and feed the person who is selling out arenas and giving chartered flights.
Nobody cared about the wnba or their awesome champions until Caitlin joined. If wheeler wants to really get paid, she passes in and out of the trap and get Clark off.
Don’t pass to Clark? What was Indiana without her? A loser. What will they be if they don’t get Clark off? Smh.
She can’t pass to Clark to get trapped and throw the ball away! Wheeler was tasked to pass inside! Shut up
@@Juke582 nah. wheeler just took her ugly shot or passed into bigs struggling with theirshot. That was better? GTFOH
What was Indiana before Clark? A loser.
If people want to get paid, including wheeler they need to shut up like you and feed the person giving them chartered flights and sold out arenas
Pass to Clark, pass it back and forth to get out of those traps.
You keep the ball away from Clark and what do you have? Repeat of last year. .
@@Juke582 yeah. Let wheeler hog the ball, shoot her ugly ass shot or feed the ball to bigs who were struggling. That’s better!? That’s what they did last year. GTFOH

If I was her I would say “it starts with me. Obviously I did not prepare them well and I will be making the correct changes”.
Clark was wide open multiple times! The offensive schemes seem to stop when Clark is on the floor. No screens, no movement, when Clark is benched it’s like a whole different team lol please stop hating on your brand new star
They fail to realize that If Caitlin Fails That Whole Team Is Toast, and it will be Their Fault Exclusively
Are you gonna change Cc game but you have nobody said screen nobody coming up blocking for her. Nobody fighting to get her the ball back really sad this coach need to be fired tonight.
That pissed me off the whole game. They just ignored her most of the time. Ridiculous. Not how you should treat your teammate.
This coach is so clueless. The reason you have 17,000 people at your stadium is to see number 22 handle the ball shoot the ball pass the ball When you figure that out you just might have a little bit of success but if you don’t figure it out pretty damn soon you’re gonna be out on the street watching her on TV I
I noticed that too, I was getting so pissed off. I want to throw my TV out the window the coaching needs to do better and get rid of wheeler 🐍🐍
Your the coach. Stop blaming your team. Your coaching is horrible. You havent said one thing about your coaching in all your interviews. Change it up because this is not working. Your not a leader. Stop running the offense around Aliyah! You need to run it around Clark for more shot opportunities. Shes a shooter. You dont know how to use her. Aliyah Boston. How about some better screens, be much more aggressive. You look tired out there.
Boston needs to spend practice running laps on the track.
@@RealPackCatshe does seem a lot slower this year running up and down the court
Sides and Wheeler have to go. There snacks in the grass.
The moment is much too big for this coach. She needs to go. Need to build around CC with quicker and more athletic bigs. Also, go with a faster athletic lineup at times. Especially when you’re getting spanked like this. More time for Hull, Berger and Taylor
So you know that the lineup on the floor in the 3rd worked, but you changed it for the 4th. How do you sleep at night being that stupid?
Facts,she is dumber than a box of rocks!
@@Conservativemanusa Please don't insult rocks.
I know! I wish the reporter would’ve followed up their question about what was working in the 3rd quarter by asking, why she changed it for the 4th then.
you need to learn to be a better Coach!!!! ##FireChristieSides
This coach is trash you’re killing Cc game and you’re a bad coach
#firethecoach
Her name ain't worth repeating
Not going to happen….she’s set in her ways. She’s just some parrot.
If the fever don't fire their coach then they're tanking on purpose to get another #1 draft pic
I would dismiss the entire coaching staff! This Indiana Fever Team has no defense, no offense, and struggling in the basic of basketball, pick and roll, even scoring at their own home court! This is unacceptable!
Wheeler talked about mentoring Clark but on court she actually sabotages Clark. I noticed it in the last game.
Christie is hired to sabotage Cc game and make her look bad cause they don’t want the new generation of player to take over the game and it’s a damn shame
She's too busy Hot Dogging and trying to be MJ to worry about "Helping Her Team Win".
@@brandonzzz1 Could be...."Allegedly" :)
HOW ABOUT RUNNING SOME SCREENS FOR CC!!!!! I SEE A LOT OF STANDING AROUND!!!!!
Seriously man its like that thief on the cross with jesus, tellin Jesus on his face like you said you the man now save yourself then save us.. I feel like sometimes they look at her like "so u came to save us, lets see"
Its sad that Caitlin is surrounded by hypocrites!!
Maybe ask Lisa Bluder for pointers? Wheeler freezing out CC was just plain stupid basketball 🙄
Fire sides
Let's start a petition then fans of Catllin Aliyah and Nalyssa
Might Not Help, but it Sure Won't Hurt.....What is Lower than Dead Last? NUTHIN
How about you Stop The Bleeding By Resigning, Coach?
The best choice at this point, and take wheeler with her
It's been 2 games, calm down new fan.
Not a new fan and I played ball! The coach needs to go. She is out of her league coaching the talent she has
@@LinkRocks How About You Calm Down, "Know It All"?

You are correct about One Thing though....
They will get better, if only Marginally, Only Because They Can't Get Any Worse than they are Now.
Wheeler should not be starting PG with Clark on the floor
Right? What’s up with that? Caitlin in the corner and Wheeler with the ball doing NOTHING at ALL. What’s going on here?
Wheeler ball hogging to keep CC out of play, constantly dribbles into double team, throws save her ass desperation passes to first person she sees. Once in a while, just random luck, it's the right person, mostly it's just someone she sticks in even bigger trouble. She's the cancer on this team. Sides probably her main candy ass.
She was wholly ineffective when Caitlin was in.
She was SOLELY ineffective when Caitlin wasn’t in. Turned the ball over, took bad shots, ran no plays, set no picks when she was off the ball.
The Fever didn’t just draft Caitlin because she’s the big talk. They need a new PG because Wheeler is way past her prime and Mitchell is prone to injuries.
I like Wheeler. But strategy-wise, she’s taking up space and salary cap money they could use to get another big to help Boston and Smith be able to take a breather. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her traded or waived once they lose a few more games with her not performing.
Hey Indiana Fever listen to me very carefully...FIRE COACH CHRISTIE SIDES NOW! Not tomorrow, not in two days or after 1 more game. Fire her NOW. And while your at it make sure her friend Erica Wheeler goes with her.
She's throwing her team under the bus. That's the problem
Give CC the ball Samuelson, and set her a darn pick!!! Holy cow!!!!
Toughness this toughness that…shush. Fact of the matter is her offensive schemes are outdated and doesn’t suit Caitlin’s game whatsoever. A better coach surely finds ways to get the best out of CC.
@@JuanSuero-ln9vr all you have to do is watch Steve Kerrs schemes at Golden State with Steph. Off ball screens and constant motion creates all the spacing you need.
@@p4ldenI wonder why someone on her staff or just her friends don't suggest that to her.
Coach is the problem. Game plan is the problem. CC needs to go rogue and run her own game plan. The team will get on board when they see the difference. If they’re going to lose, lose with some excitement and trying something new.
Cc got the AK loaded but Coach tell her we don’t need that. I’m not here to play winning basketball. She need to be fired tonight.
She can't run rogue because the coach? will pull her out of the game.
Wheeler ignored Clark.
I thought wheeler was her buddy but I s
Starting to see she ignores Clark whole game! And she plays terrible! wtf? They pretend to be Clark’s friends but they are sabotaging her out there and missing every shot! It’s unnerving Clark too!
Her ego cannot handle the fact that most of those people were there to see Caitlin.
Unreal how this coach turns it around and blames her team. It is not 100 percent on her players.
Boston quit missing easy dang shots right under the basket or go sit on the bench
0:48 the coaching staff is useless and clueless. Bring someone who knows what they are doing.
Indianna has the ingredients to play like Iowa in collage. They have a strong post CC and more than capable role players.
Look, the line up needs to make strategic changes. 1) Indiana need a traditional PG to run the offense. That's not Wheeler, who should be coming off the bench. If Mitchell is not starting, then start Berger instead. She makes smart decisions and can shoot mid-range. Her and Clark seem to work good together. 2) stop using Boston for the pick-n-roll for now because Boston is too slow, which is allowing other teams to double Clark. Alyssa or even Kati would be better. They're faster, quicker. Better looks for Clark, 3) Alyssa and Boston need to crash the boards more. 4) Clark should be running the offense, the field general. I've coached basketball for 12 plus years. This is what I see-- but if anything, they need to stop starting Wheeler-- she's no traditional PG, and this is what they need.
Get rid of Boston, Wheeler is a ball hog, you have to get CC clear so she can shoot her 3s which is why you all have eyes on the WNBA
Coach Sides talks a lot but she has no playmaking abilities. She has the potential to be an assistant Coach not an associate or head coach.
She’s says so much bs and fixes nothing. A good lineup that was cutting the gap and she decides to change it back
Most of what she says is "Coach Double Speak", with Platitudes mixed in for Padding. She knows she's In Way Over Her Head, but thinks a Miracle Will Occur, while she Purposefully Misuses the one "Miracle"(In The Flesh) that she So Desperately Needs, But Fails To Recognize.
She never played basketball?
MORE LIKE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH
@@bermudabengal not even that...AB is so out of shape.
coach, your girls don't expect passes from Caitlyn, Caitlyn shoots no look passes with energy, these bounce off players who aren't ready. This is ALL on you!!!
This coach is horrible. Can't run an offense to save her life. She keeps talking about be tougher be tougher. Sounds a whole lot like Darvin Ham with the Lakers. No type of playcalling or adjustments. Just "Be tougher" "Play harder". Please get rid of this coach
CC needs the ball, Wheeler didn’t give it to her. Worst teammate ever
CC was open 3 times and Erica ignored her....I was thinking WTF! 😮
Why is two little people on the floor same time grace Lexy and Celeste protesting to play them forget Wheeler
@@rhondastewart8805 right, it’s must be so frustrating for Caitlin, I was frustrated myself. I was screaming for her to give CC the ball.
Ball hog and sorry
When she got the ball she didn’t even shoot. She was not effective, point blank.
I knew Erica Wheeler's early support for Caitlin was FAKE. Erica was freezing out Caitlin on numerous occasions when she was open for a shot. It's pretty obvious. Erica needs to go to the bench.
ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! The commentator even said something about it live, like Wheeler isn't ready to trust Caitlin and pass her the ball yet or something like that.
@@rhondastewart8805 It's her ego.
The person most people paid to see had 6 shot attempts going into the 4th...that's on the coach. Period. And the 5 fouls on Clark is a joke, and that's on the WNBA, bizarre. That just proves it's not a true hustle. Unfortunate.
Yep!! Completely ignored her
💯🎯🎯🎯Snake 🐍 in the Grass and now she is vExposed . You are out of here👎🤔
Those fans were there for Clark, its on you coach, you should be fired.
The problem is the COACH, please for the love of god and good of WNBA growth, fire this never above .500 coach, and get some one to develop this new players and play actual good watching basketball so all the new people dont go away watching this trash and having CC in the corner shoot record low 8 shots for her career, is she a spot up shooter now ,really?
Since Slide isn’t doing it, will someone please coach Boston to not bring the ball down to her waist, or bounce it, every time she gets a pass in low post or gets a rebound? She needs to put up the shot from where she catches the ball above her head!
Play Grace 🍔 more. She is better than Wheeler. Her and Caitlin should be playing together longer. And when nothing is going, why not use the bench like Taylor?
How can the whole internet realize Grace and Caitlin should be playing together MORE but not the coach?
Nice that Katie Lou is trying to save the viewership by saying they failed to give the energy the crowd was giving and promising to not do it again...but, it may be too late. Indiana leadership is FUMBLING this !😊
That, to me, was humiliating. A player should not have to apologize to the fans. The Coach is responsible for the team. Thank was a crying shame and goes to show you that the Coach blamed the players in the locker room. That’s so wrong. It makes me really dislike that Coach.
Lisa Bluder looked Shocked at the none coaching.
You cant coach if you got nothing to say
YES, she is a terrible coach. CC needs to be PG, not Wheeler. Wheeler needs to warm the bench. She doesn't throw the ball to Caitlin, the other players are slow, Boston can't hit under the goal, no one comes to CC when she is doubled up like they do others. The team is not including CC. Who do you think brought all those screaming fans to your area, NOT Wheeler!!! Wheeler is awful and a ball hog. Did you have that type of audience last year, no. CC is bringing in the money.
Come on, Lin Dunn, get rid of Sides and Wheeler!!!
You need to get CC in a shooting rhythm, Boston never catches and goes straight up, she catches and goes down. Interior is bad.
No rhythm on the offensive end!
And Ali Boston look out of shape she don’t look like she work on her game. I don’t know what’s going on with her. She supposed to be the second star here she don’t look like it at all. And it’s a damn shame God that’s what you get paid a big box for to be a star
They are Not A Team. They are Four Individual Players, Doing Their Own Thang, and Caitlin, who is doing her Best to help that Non Existent Team.
That Kid has go to be "Biting Nails" at this point
Exactly. A half decent coach would break Boston of that habit of bringing the ball down to her waist every time she catches it or gets a rebound. She is giving the defense too much time. Geez. Just show Boston the game tape (or whatever they call it these days) and point out every time she makes that mistake. It would be so easy to fix--even for a half decent coach. Too bad Sides isn’t that. Fire her asap!
Yup, Boston constantly stalling so at least two bigger players can get there and stuff her.
I agree. She came straight from college last year with better feel. Maybe being off so long has her out of sync.
After seeing their first preseason game in Dallas and then watching the other ones on TV and watching them last year, what occurs to me is that he got to get the ball in Clark’s hands more and let her shoot more. I’ve seen her miss her first six threes and games in Iowa and then come back and score 30 points, it feels like she’s reluctant to shoot and clearly they’re not getting screens around her. This is a team that lost more games and they won last year. They’ve got to do something different and I think focus in the office around getting her open and just letting her shoot more. The other thing that I see is they’re not in sync when she hits them with a really good surprise pass, they can’t seem to hold it or put it in the hoop. Hopefully that’s going to change with a little more time on the court together. They have a lot of talent. Just want to see him put it together and I think having Clark shoot more as part of that answer, she’s been kind of cold at the beginning, as I said we’ve seen her do that before but then she just kept shooting shooting and then got her rains figured out and then started mailing it
She is not running the team to Clark. She still running the team to everybody else instead of her best player this coach need to be fired tonight.
You’re wasting CCs talents if you’re going to keep her in the corner. Why is Celeste not playing
Yeah why are they benching Celeste?
@@goldbrick2563 that’s what I am trying to figure out, she is such a good player to keep her in the bench. She should replace wheeler

Pretty telling that CC wasn't at the post game press conference. She's not happy.. Most likely with her performance & the performance of this crappy team. Hopefully Coach Bluder is going over it with her after the game.
No!!!! The top scorers go on the press conference!!! That’s how that works! 🙄

@@lollipopp21_samuelson had 10, Clark had 9.
Fagbenle, Clark, Berger, Taylor and Mitchell should start. People that can run with Clark.
This line up is great and the coach decided to change its so frustrating
Fagbenle missing a fast break layup send her ass back to middle school ball
How do you know? You're not a coach
Taylor can’t play up with these big rough women at all yet! She throws ball away!
I think Lexi Hull should be in that starting line up
May want to try running an offense, an offense that includes CC. Many sets had CC just standing and other players doing something that resembled basketball.
A Vague Resemblance At Best
I’m watching because of Caitlin Clark along with the majority of the fans in the stands. Keeping her on the bench for the majority of the second quarter. Ridiculous!
Schut up.
Two first games. Incredibly stupid.
FIRE THAT COACH.. SHE DESTROYING CC
Fuck u let her do her job
The coach took Caitlin off of point guard for most of this game. Caitlin was point guard, controlling the ball for the Fevers 2 exhibition games, one win and a close loss of 3 points. Even then, this coach said Caitlin had to get over her bad habits. That's a ridiculous statement.
Correct
This is a learning curve for CC…she not in Iowa anymore,she wasn’t coached in Iowa she was tolerated because she was Iowa! CC will be fine two tough teams to start the season
@@lindajohanson9131 yessss
This coach needs to go. This is a clear coaching issue not a player problem.
Erica Wheeler needs to be benched straight up ignoring Clark the whole game.
You are not experienced as a coach and it shows. You are not mentally tough. Your players have all the ability to be great you’re hurting that!!!!!
Step down!!!!
EW isn't created for other , she isn't a pointguard
This couch is trash at least if you’re gonna lose with your best player playing her game get on cc back At least the fans will feel better
Time to Lead, Follow Or GTF Out Of The way, and I choose the Last One, because now Sides is Little More Than In The Way
What’s a player like Clark gonna do when she’s limited offensively herself? If her shots aren’t falling she has nothing else to got to and it’s proven, just out there looking lost. Yall clark super fans are delusional 😂, by the end of the season yall won’t be here anymore after seeing she won’t live up to the hype that was put on her
It’s a team sport… CC isn’t supposed to do it all herself. She isn’t getting the help needed and this coach is out of her league!!!
Erica Wheeler needs to be benched. Notice the third quarter when Fever was coming back - who wasn’t it the game????
She’s just a bad and inexperienced coach
They don't need more "toughness," they need better teamwork and to make layups and offensive rebounds.🤷
When several players Completely Blow, fast break, All Alone, layups, there is a Real Problem
Boston, cant jump, box out, Clark had more rebounds than her. Clark, Smith, Berger, Wallies, Taylor, Katie, Lexie should play. Fire the coach, get Bluder.
They both had 7 but the center should have double the amount as a guard
Caitlin Worked Her Tail Off.....For Nothing and No Help.
Like the old Waylon Song, "It's Not Supposed To Be That way"
I like the triangle offense idea with Hull, Berger, and Caitlin at point.
Yes!!!!
I think this coach underestimated the level of scrutiny she'd be under after drafting Clark. Its game 2 and people are already calling for her head. I don't think the Fever realized they drafted Steph Curry with Lebron's level of anticipation and expectation. This coach and franchise overall seems really unprepared for what Caitlin Clark means/is for the sport
So well and accurately articulated. Exactly THIS.
Sides is only talking about toughness, not about setting screens, and actually having plays. Blocking out, and actually get the ball to CC
Change the the name from fever to headache Im sick to my stomach
explain to me the scheme where the point guard is down in the far corner while the ball is at the top of the key?
Can’t any professional reporter ask her a tough question? What was your plan? Did you have them ready to play? You keep saying “we”, when does coach accountability come into play? What in game adjustments did you make? Do you ever call a play?
Agreed 100%
Temi, Caitlin, Grace, Nalyssa, Celeste. There's your starters. You can't have Wheeler on the floor with Clark.
Figure out what lady ? Fire her
Everyone was hating on the reporter who asked Sides, "You've been given the keys to THAT, what will you do". I'll answer it, "First, I'm going to put 87 octane leaded fuel into that Ferrari. THEN, I'm going to drive around town at 15 mph with one foot on the brake. THEN, I'm going to sit in a parking lot and rev the engine to 11k rpm until the engine blows. THEN, I'm going to whine and cry when the Ferrari dealer tells me I don't know HOW to drive a racecar!"
Oh Man, what an accurate analogy! My Compliments
🤣🤣🤣 i personally wouldn't pay to see this disaster anymore. Don't think there's gonna be future sell out stadiums starting now
What was her actual answer, or can you timestamp it?
@@VeraxMusic introductory press conference
Not Using Clark Right
The team needs to move off the ball. Goodness gracious. They are super slow. Watching Clark call for her teammate to come to her to receive a pass is frustrating to watch. The team need to read each other, which does come with time but still!!!
Watch the 3rd quarter again. They had some chemistry.
yeah when caitlin was playing pg not sg
Exactly
Team finally gets a rhythm. Boom she changed lineup. OMG
Yes that 5 in 3rd were the best
LEAD BY CC and I don't know if her teammates and coach UNDERSTAND that or not.
Please tell me u turned around and asked coach Bluder and Jansen for some tips -? Obviously not during the game but breakfast tomorrow!!
Bahahahhahahaha!!!!! Best comment
Any bets that Jan and Coach Bluder, wanted to Throttle Sides, for most of that Poor Excuse For a game?
If she had asked, My Bet is that Both would have said..."Resign Immediately, if you really want to help this team"
Fever women- Get on the treadmills. Increase your speed. Get some consistently good sleep. Low to no alcohol. (Sorry, but it messes with sleep and mental clarity.) Work on the mental and speed aspect, and once that’s there you’ll gel a lot better. Slow mind slow body. Study on avoiding fouls. Caitlin - Get comfortable doing what you do. Your defense was much better tonight, and you need that, but remember what got you here. Build your calm confidence. Shoot your shots. And when you get a chance, take a day or two to yourself. I cannot imagine you’ve had much time to process your experience so far in general. Coach Sides - They did better tonight. Coach them on closer defense without unnecessary physicality, for their own sake. And no reason for either of these teams to be arguing. Takes too much energy.
Get the team supporting Caitlin on the floor. Take note of each player’s strengths, build plays around that. I saw Bluder. Hope some convos happen for the sake of building a great team.
TO NEW YORK - thank you for playing cleaner than Connecticut. You won the game with a lot less unnecessary aggression and mocking. You blocked professionally and you didn’t put literally 1 person on Caitlin the entire night… you actually played a game.
You said it. You need to make your team screen and move. You are in control. If she is your point guard put the ball in her hand and make the others adjust.
Boston talking about team needs to play with more energy? First home game, sold out crowd. If that wasn’t enough motivation tonight then you are screwed already.
Krista need to be fired like today. She got Clark playing her game Clark needs to play Clark game. This cost is garbage and Ali Boston look out of shape her game don’t seem to complement Clark Game the whole team looking like trash can we get a coach?
For a young team, coach needs to be more uplifting and positive. When you have the #1 pick, it's because you suck. It will take a while to climb the ladder. Coach needs to be positive and teaching and uplifting. I sense unrealistic expectations, frustration, confusion, and emotional instability from this coach.
Team can't jump or rebound or play defense sadly when your the best player you go to the worst team and by watching the last two they are horrible cc passes the ball her team can't catch it or miss open lay ups and they don't pass her the ball back she needs to take 50 shots for them to have a chance to even win a game
At the end of the second quarter things were looking up but you change the line up. What’s wrong with this coach\ when Wheeler was on the bench.
THAT DROVE ME UP THE WALL. Clark was pulling them back, from 20 to 9!!!!!!! Then, POOF, SHE VANISHES. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, HELLO????
@@knives4cash I’m hoping this coach is just trying to figure out the best starting line up but God she frustrates me. She keeps running her mouth about what the players need to fix and the habits they need to change but she doesn’t take accountability. She is a bad coach all around that cannot handle CC and her other players. She had Taylor in the bench the whole time and she decided to keep sending Wheeler, like?? Wheeler ruins the team she acts friendly in front of the cameras so that the rookies cannot complain about her.
Boston needs to hit the weight room hard this offseason as well as CC. I need to see muscle definition in those arms and legs.
Facts but give her time this is only her second year
I wish Aliyah would have been honest. "Aliyah, to that point, what do you think shifted in the 3rd quarter to let you all kinda get back into it? Well, it was because Wheeler and I had our asses on the bench and that gave the good players the opportunity to get us some points.
That's saying it!
wrong, the liberty starters were on the bench and the liberty bench players were fouling, none of yall know ball 🤡🤡🤡
Get CC the ball and let her do what made her famous! CC teammates are sabotaging her! Clean house NOW!!!!
One man band uh
The whole teams body language says it all. They play like they don't believe. If the players aren't bought in, you are doomed, and that is absolutely a coaching issue.
Celeste Taylor was +11 14 mins that turned around only gm Fever won when down BiG. Even insanity gets tired of doing same thing expecting different results..
CC needs help....nobody is helping her...wtf...
CC is the reason people are more interested and inclined to watch WNBA including myself. As everyone saw, the end of the 3rd when CC HAD the ball, they were within 11! Pulling her out of the game is disruptive and doesn't help boost her confidence. LET her be her. She was the #1 draft for a reason.
