I totally agree with you about her passing. I like watching her dimes more then I do her 3's. Once she develops a midrange game, then she will be unstoppable.
Be prepared to wait. She won't fix that in one off-season. She spent four years in college ignoring it. In the meantime, you can watch Paige next year. She has a mid-range game.
Her three best passes in this game were not converted. Two absolute dimes to N'lyssa Smith who didn't even get a shot up. On another note, that game was so close when Smith went 1/6 from the line. Wouldn't have changed the outcome but could have really affected the momentum of the game at the time.

I wish Caitlin's teamates could do at least two things: 1) help CC get out of the double team blitzes, just look how open opposing team's deep shooters are, like Plum last night (if the Fever players were all REAL threats to score when they get the ball that would also free up CC too) 2) convert her passes into points. If I were coaching agaist the Fever, my game plan would always be to blitz Clark, double team her as much as possible since the rest of the Fever players toss up bricks. I really only have to defend against 3 players 99% of the time: Clark, Boston, MItchell.

Denisebaby- you on these message boards, you see how when they lose it’s everyone’s fault EXCEPT #22, but when they win it’s all because of #22……her fans are the worst
Wallace and Wheeler hog the ball as shown by their low assist numbers. Caitlin is unselfish as shown by her 3 double digit assists in the last 4 games.
Sides has to be fired, she has no feel for how to coach Clark. Clark has to score 20 points a game for them to be a consistent winner. They didn't draft Clark to be a passer. And Clark herself needs to make some waves and stop be deferential to "coach". She isn't in college or high school anymore. This is upsetting because it hard to see talent destroyed by mediocre arrogance and control. The #1 thing fans can do is call for Sides to be fired - yesterday. Because this isn't going to get better.
Two things you need to consider that you say here; , "fans" (fans are not objective nor do they know what the coaches, players and basketball execs know) "Caitlin Clark needs to score "( CC has the ball in her hands more than any of the Fever players). So yes, you're right she needs to score off of the dribble, creating her own shots at the basket, foul line and the mid-range shooting game. She need to watch the video of Kelsey Plum!
Sides ruined Caitlins shooting power. She took awawy the fun from caitlin shooting. Caitlin shld buy out her contract and go to valkyries or toronto and put a good team around her. She looks sad inside. She is very competitive but Sides took her fun.
"Sides took her fun" Can you imagine someone accusing one of the great basketball coaches of something like that? Let's say a Red Auerbach or Bobby Knight. Believe me, they did take the 'fun" out of it for some people who went on to accomplish some impressive things. Stop being so much of a CC fan and try to appreciate the game of basketball. CC is going to have a phenomenal career, baring anything unforseen. She's the real deal, but she has areas of her game that must be developed - driving to the basket, mid-range shooting and defense. All three are pretty non existent in her game at this point. There isn't one game so far where you can point to any of these as having been a strong aspect of her play. She's phenomenal at passing and rebounding, but that's it.
Indiana is missing another reliable scorer. Boston and Mitchell w CC will keep you in games. But Vegas was leaving Samuelson wide open and she missed every one. She was 1-7. Smith was 2-7. Indiana was leaving Plum open and she buried them. The fever are two players away.
33 potential points. But, Aces didn't shoot 100% either.im fact, Aja Wilson had a slow start to the game shooting as well. She's playing on a different level altogether, but I realize that fan club can't alow themselves to observe that reality.
And defense, and Clark putting up bricks, and her turnovers. The Aces decided it was time to go and they went. End of story. Being able to follow through decides how good a team is and the Fever aren't that good. Another bad loss to a good team. The Liberty are next.
I have played basketball (be it a long time ago) and have been a fan of the college game for a long time and now watching the Fever and the Aces (IA connections). The story is usually the same. A growing team with potential hangs with the superior team for a long while and then lose it in the final minutes. Another way of looking at it is that the Olympians played great and WNBA all stars did what they could but still need to grow. There were and are some of us from IA who noticed and appreciated her passing for some time. Shooting can be streaky but she can work on that. Glad you help others to see this in her.
Robin, have you noticed that when the Coaching Staff from Iowa are attending her games those are some of the games that Caitlin does not have her best games?
The Fever obviously have some problems and are a work in progress, but there's enough pandering negativity going around. I respect the way you accentuate the positive.
Anyone that followed CC in Iowa knows that something is wrong. There is no natural flow in her game and she’s seems forced to play in a way that destroys her shooting game. Seems to me that when coach Sides wants her to shoot more it only applies if it Mitchell isn’t on the floor
Yep. I am not sure Lundberg saw her much in Iowa. Something is very very wrong. The sooner Sides is fired, the better. You can ruin a player in a year definitely, dont wait until the end of the year. Her 3 point shot has been off for a very long time because she is looking over her shoulder. The shooting issue is getting critical.
@@Barto-p4k CCs rookie stats speaks for themselves. She’s both double and triple guarded and the most defended player in the wnba. What she is pulling off in the trash team like Indiana as a rookie is nothing but amazing
How the hell did Mitchell get 20 shots. This coach is trying to win with everyone looked upon as equal offense sharing, except Mitchell who thinks she is better than anyone. Fire this coach, man.
Mitchell runs the floor and moves without the ball pretty well. I thought her shot selection was pretty good tonight. Caitlin was ice cold, and Boston had a tough match up with Wilson on her. Someone has to score.
Her teammates it appears are trying to emulate her passing and they are F'n that up big time. Just get the ball back to CC and let her handle it. hahahha
Clark has been cold shooting in the last two games and so has Samuelson, if those two hit more of those 3's and the missed layups were made it would have been different. They can't seem to put it together for all 4 quarters yet.
Actually she hasn't shot well tge whole year...take away a couple of good scoring games?a few logo highlights but she supposed to be a scorer and she really hasn't been dynamic in that area
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx after the last little break they had she was shooting over 50% for a few games. Her legs have to be tired, she's been running since the beginning of the college season. After the Olympic break she's going to light it up, that's my prediction.
CC passes are mostly always borderline brilliant vs turnover - thats what makes her passes GREAT- hopefully the team will catch-on AB is getting it as are most others
Overall, poor defense by the fever. I mean, how can you leave Kelsey Plum open all night? Not sure what Christie Sides was doing and not making adjustments. Isn't she a defensive coach?
They didnt even bother to double team Clark, Young just locked her down. And Caitlin proves you can take her heart. When are we gonna acknowledge this and get her a dawg on her team to do the dirty work.
The exposure was GREAT for Aja Wilson. Welcome to the REAL WNBA--Clark fans. Clark is just a rookie . She has some learning to do. But at least, you all get to see why.
I had many comments in early interviews .... Caitlin was off to the Far Right....Like by herself....Kelsey and Aliyal were hooked together..... I always said put Caitlin in the Middle..... I Am so GLAD NOW .... I think Caitlin has been accepted to her Team Mates ......Indy going Forward will be GREAT!!!!
I was at the game, close to courtside, among some very nice Indiana/Clark/Martin fans. Credit to the Aces for containing Clark on the perimeter, preventing her from getting clear looks for possible 3s. Plum had an awesome night with 34 points, but an unsung hero, who is not in there to score, was Kiah Stokes, who had a ton of blocks and rebounds. Lisa Bluder attended and there was a great vibe in the building, the first time ever that more than 20,000 fans attended any game or event, including hockey, in T-Mobile Arena. At one point the Fever missed 5 straight foul shots.
Man could they use a Celeste Taylor as the other guard and a similar player to Celeste at that 3/4 spot that they’re missing. Did I miss some thin or has Sides still not drawn up plays to get CC open looks. The screens are still pretty bad, and they don’t come back around to Clark if they don’t have a shot.
Coach Sides is destroying Caitlin's rhythm on shooting threes by not allowing her doing it! She is stoping Clark's strength. CC needs to transfer to another team or replace the coach!!!😠😠😠
Caitlin needs to ignore her coach. This is Caitlin Clark's team. Anyone not with that can get a day job. Clark still has the "coach" mindset from high school/college where the "coach": is a dictator you try and please.
The offseason will be huge for CC to work on her game on both ends of the floor. I would like to see CC get better on defense and playing off the ball. If CC can get to where Sabrina Ionescu is as a player, that would be good. That is who I compare CC to as a player.
Hit on all cylinders versus Phoenix hitting on one or two against Las Vegas. Nalyssa Smith 14% from charity stripe. Couldn’t hit a jumper. 😢Mitchell off, Samuelson off, Fagbenle off. The new hire never showed up. I wouldn’t say Smith was the reason they lost, but it was one of the big reasons they lost. Clark 2 for 7 for three, but two of those were just as good as a pass. Boston caught it underneath and made the layup.
CC could average 18 assists per game legitimately if her teammates made open shots and layups. Won't get there this season but 2-3 years down the line Clark is gonna put up ridiculous stats every game
Wows with passes... I see you're easily impressed. Just which one of those passes to you feel will be in the "CC's greatest passes," video? The pick and roll you showed worked as it should, but was nothing special and certainly not spectacular. She's not in the same class as a passer as Sue Bird, who did make passes you didn't see everyday. Mitchell's been on a hot streak and so she's fed her the ball. The credit should go to Mitchell who has to make the long shot, not CC making a pass anyone can do. You keep talking like she's another Jayson Williams. You're not even in the right area code. 6 more turnovers. She was lucky. There was 3 or 4 other times the ball was tipped and the Fever got it back. She couldn't guard Plum, but we already knew that. Take a look at Natasha Cloud's stats the last 2 games: 17 assists and 4 turnovers. You're trying to find a silver lining, but the truth is the Fever got blown out by another good team. I didn't see Aja or Plum passing no torches. Do you see how much quicker she is then Clark? How much of a real 3-pt shooter that uses the entire arc she is? How she doesn't turn the ball over? The bottom line is the NCAA's highest scorer has to pass the ball to stay relevent. I don't blame her, she's doing what she has to do, but I won't put her on a pedestal for it. Your fanboy is coming out full bloom.
Most of Fever players have butter fingers bwa ha ha ha ha! A lot of assists by Caitlin Clarks were fumbled by her team mates. Aja's perimeter shooting is incredible. Kelsey Plum is always open at the 3 point lane.
Diana T said it there are some good WNBA players they gonna giver her a hard time but she is getting better and before you mention yes I know they won against mercury .
Remarkable because she played horrible., but still manage to get another double double points and assists by a rookie which tied Sue Bird with 3 games. Caitlin has the last 3 consecutive games .
Yet Angel Reese just broke the wnba record for most double doubles in a row, 11 and counting…but you won’t give her love cuz she’s not in your demographic
CC should have had at least 5 more assists. Disappointed in her continued shooting slump. Not sure why she seems resistant to creating her own shot opportunities. Maybe that’ll come as the season progresses.
@@EricD-pj4wp HaHaHa. I love people who can simply show how ignorant they are just by commenting. Well done Eric, Well done. Not sure if you didn't actually watch the game or if you just have no clue how basketball works but you actually have to get the ball passed to you for someone to get an assist... LOL.
Adhdguy- or Reese should start shooting 3’s and go 3-17 like CC….or just start turning the ball over on every possession so she can catch CC 112 league leading turnovers
If the Fever could have bought some baskets (and free throws!!!) they played well enough to lose by six to eight points. Sides must do better! Clark was guarded from the opposite free throw line for much of the game.
As much as I like her, she needs to start hitting her shots. She needs to become the scorer she was in college. She had a few great looks from beyond the arc but completely missed them.
Clark made 15 points. That is nothing to make bad comments about. I watched all Iowa games this last season. To see her frustration when so many players on her team just miss baskets from her passes that should be easy for them! Add those missed points and you have a closer game. This night, it still might have been a win for the Aces, but up until the 3rd quarter, it was a tight game playing against 4 USA Olympians! Give Clark some credit! Also as far as turnovers, separate how many her team should have caught versus her own (which is up there too) but unfair to put those numbers together!
They were never disrespecting her!!! They just simply told the truth! Something which is hard for some to accept hence the outrage and fake narratives. Remember, Caitlin and all the other rookies knocked on the door of a house already built. The " rookies" should be showin respect to the previous and prior architects.
cc had 1100+ assist in college, but pro's can't catch her passes, granted she is top 3 overall in assist. She should have God knows how many more How long did it take for MJ and the bulls to win it all; before they had a championship game, 6 or 7 years ?
@@EricD-pj4wp Shes a point guard, she has the ball more than anyone else. Check out the top TO leaders in the NBA. She also gets counted for every pass her teammates miss or drop a pass that's counted as a turnover. She still has to work on her ball control., and she does do reckless passing
CC has to start draining shots, she's not MJ so putting her game in their face isn't an option. The wnba and players have decided to take the Clark money and clown her at the same time, yes it's a shitty thing to do but that's what the left does best. Her passing is unreal but unappreciated, and putting the ball in the cup is all people seem to understand. I know it's hard to get good looks without help, but she has to figure out a way. Hopefully she'll come back next season with 15 lbs of newbie gains and start making more room for herself.
Robin go back and look at how many missed bunnies Caitlin laid in the there. Tami missed at least 3. She should have had at least 7 more assists. That's 14 points and could have changed the complexion of the game and I submit fever wins that game. Nalyssa missed 6 free throws. 14+ 6 = 20. They lost by 19
Smith also missed quite a few shots after Clark passed to her. Missing that many FREEthrows and open shots in the paint is high school level basketball at best.
Fingerpickingood- what about all the missed shots CC missed? What about CC 6 turnovers? Why come CC only made 1-7 3pt shots and she’s suppose to be Curry like? Yeah she played borderline terrible but you want to blame everyone else 🤦🏽♂️
Cc gets frustrated because her team cant score layups, and open shots ..and she thought they were passed that already, I think temi at least 3 katie 1 or two, Smith another 3 or 4 wallace 1-2 we are talking a really close game.. hull does not play burger bench keeper but they let go taylor, the other thing is that when they score at least half of those layups and open shots.. the other team would give cc better chances to score because they have to attend to that….on top of that, they dont know how to set up a screen or any other offensive scheme that gives her an open look for shooting…all of it has caused for her to get caught up in traps, etc, has forced her to take bad shots, miss, and loses confidence, does not attempts steps backs or to the side anymore, does not takes shoots off the dribble anymore…they are killing her…thats why she gets frustrated, players like her can see the game from the outside, they know what is needed to do to win, but she is not allowed, her coach cannot see it, CC is not having fun and thats why she is not even at 80% in her game..
It is. As a pro you can't miss free throws and layups. Smith missed 7 out 8 free throws. That just can't happen. Nalyssa needs to get with Cameron Brink and get her to help with free throws.
The Fever fought hard but their defence sucked later in their game. Their shots weren't falling they weren't getting good looks but they fought hard till the 3rd quarter.
Kelsey Plum would be breaking records if she was playing for other teams. She is not used to her full potential in the Aces. The Aces have a stacked roster. A lot of good players are role playing and not playing upto their full potential.
@@jshowy7053 you are not the best player if u can't handle that. Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson never get their flowers because they always play on a stacked roster. If u win games and put up insane stats with a team that has only 3 good players then you are the best.
Missing 3s is not equivalent to Missing layups. So she's supposed to hit 100%from 3. 50% from 3 is off the charts and if she hit 50% that's only 9 more points. Yes I'm squarely putting the blame on those 7 missed bunnies
Lol... You will find anything to praise CC... Just crazy... If she has a complete bad game you will say Wow She is goat in tying her shoes ... And i love her game just stop this please... Just admit they lost because of her bad shooting and turnovers...
Fever need a now coach they don't make play for CC in 4 she his 0 pt coach need do bet job make play for CC get her open CC really don't have a good game she miss shot when she was open seen like bad game for hole team not just CC
@@TheRobinLundberg She is being restricted by Sides, this is obvious to anyone with eyes. Clark is not a pass-first player. Worse thing is, it is starting to affect her shot.
Tigerslear- why would it be great? I mean Team wnba beat a team USA four years ago so why would it be great now….i can tell you are new to basketball cuz you didn’t even know that
Stop mentioning James when you talk about elite passers. He is a good passer, he involves his teammates, or did. But he does not belong in the category with magic, Stockton, Nash, Thomas and the like.
Christie Sides, accomplished her job Demolishing Clark every game.Clark average going down every Game,because of CHRISTIE SIDES CONTROLLING HER and instructing to make PLAYS TO HER FAVS PLAYERS,WHEELER,MITCHELL,WALLACE
She is tired. Usually CC hits back of rim on misses, but last 2 games, she is missing short hitting front of rim. Whole team shot poorly, missing layups, wide open 3s and free throws. Just average shooting percentage and they were in the hunt. Think with Olympic break it will help her rest, gain the 10 lbs she wants to
CC didn't take one shot in the 4th. She was set one single screen. It gets so old.
She got lit up by Kelsey
The great ones get their own shots..they don't need screens
...stop blaming everything on everyone else

He mentioned Magic. Larry was a great passer, but not a guard.
They lose 9 of 10 to the Aces, period!
A great passer, but not Pistol or Magic!
Numbers don't lie, compare the career assists stats. Who knows what?
Layups and FT missed lost the game for the Fever
You're delusional!
what about missed 3 pts from Samuelson (0 - 4) and CC (1-7)?
33 potential points. But, Aces didn't shoot 100% either.im fact, Aja Wilson had a slow start to the game shooting as well. She's playing on a different level altogether, but I realize that fan club can't alow themselves to observe that reality.
And defense, and Clark putting up bricks, and her turnovers. The Aces decided it was time to go and they went. End of story. Being able to follow through decides how good a team is and the Fever aren't that good. Another bad loss to a good team. The Liberty are next.
Nalyssa Smith missed 5 free throws, she was 1 for 6.
Missed free throws, along with also missing many shots after a good pass from Clark.
I have played basketball (be it a long time ago) and have been a fan of the college game for a long time and now watching the Fever and the Aces (IA connections). The story is usually the same. A growing team with potential hangs with the superior team for a long while and then lose it in the final minutes. Another way of looking at it is that the Olympians played great and WNBA all stars did what they could but still need to grow.
There were and are some of us from IA who noticed and appreciated her passing for some time. Shooting can be streaky but she can work on that. Glad you help others to see this in her.
Robin, have you noticed that when the Coaching Staff from Iowa are attending her games those are some of the games that Caitlin does not have her best games?
The Fever obviously have some problems and are a work in progress, but there's enough pandering negativity going around. I respect the way you accentuate the positive.
Anyone that followed CC in Iowa knows that something is wrong. There is no natural flow in her game and she’s seems forced to play in a way that destroys her shooting game. Seems to me that when coach Sides wants her to shoot more it only applies if it Mitchell isn’t on the floor
Yep. I am not sure Lundberg saw her much in Iowa. Something is very very wrong. The sooner Sides is fired, the better. You can ruin a player in a year definitely, dont wait until the end of the year. Her 3 point shot has been off for a very long time because she is looking over her shoulder. The shooting issue is getting critical.
Yeah, its called the W. She's not playing against Suzy Anonymous from Nowhere U. any more.
@@Barto-p4k CCs rookie stats speaks for themselves. She’s both double and triple guarded and the most defended player in the wnba. What she is pulling off in the trash team like Indiana as a rookie is nothing but amazing
How the hell did Mitchell get 20 shots. This coach is trying to win with everyone looked upon as equal offense sharing, except Mitchell who thinks she is better than anyone. Fire this coach, man.
Caitlin won't shoot the ball!
Mitchell runs the floor and moves without the ball pretty well. I thought her shot selection was pretty good tonight. Caitlin was ice cold, and Boston had a tough match up with Wilson on her. Someone has to score.
@@rcud1 Sides is working hard to destroy her confidence.
Because she is better right now .. let the rookie grow into her game... She will be better one day just not this year...
@@brichards9293Bro stop blaming it all on the coaching, she had plenty of looks she just passed up (literally)
Her teammates it appears are trying to emulate her passing and they are F'n that up big time. Just get the ball back to CC and let her handle it. hahahha
I notice Wheeler trying and throw it out of bounds.
Clark has been cold shooting in the last two games and so has Samuelson, if those two hit more of those 3's and the missed layups were made it would have been different. They can't seem to put it together for all 4 quarters yet.
Actually she hasn't shot well tge whole year...take away a couple of good scoring games?a few logo highlights but she supposed to be a scorer and she really hasn't been dynamic in that area
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx after the last little break they had she was shooting over 50% for a few games. Her legs have to be tired, she's been running since the beginning of the college season. After the Olympic break she's going to light it up, that's my prediction.
CC passes are mostly always borderline brilliant vs turnover - thats what makes her passes GREAT- hopefully the team will catch-on AB is getting it as are most others
Overall, poor defense by the fever. I mean, how can you leave Kelsey Plum open all night? Not sure what Christie Sides was doing and not making adjustments. Isn't she a defensive coach?
They didnt even bother to double team Clark, Young just locked her down. And Caitlin proves you can take her heart. When are we gonna acknowledge this and get her a dawg on her team to do the dirty work.
They doubled her plenty in the first half.
CC wants no part of Jackie You g on offense nor defense
Jackie had her in a straightjacket
The exposure was GREAT for Aja Wilson. Welcome to the REAL WNBA--Clark fans. Clark is just a rookie . She has some learning to do. But at least, you all get to see why.
I had many comments in early interviews .... Caitlin was off to the Far Right....Like by herself....Kelsey and Aliyal were hooked together..... I always said put Caitlin in the Middle..... I Am so GLAD NOW .... I think Caitlin has been accepted to her Team Mates ......Indy going Forward will be GREAT!!!!
They need to improve their half court offense..
I'm just struck by the fact that she had 11 assists and the nearest next Fever player had only 2!!
I was at the game, close to courtside, among some very nice Indiana/Clark/Martin fans. Credit to the Aces for containing Clark on the perimeter, preventing her from getting clear looks for possible 3s. Plum had an awesome night with 34 points, but an unsung hero, who is not in there to score, was Kiah Stokes, who had a ton of blocks and rebounds. Lisa Bluder attended and there was a great vibe in the building, the first time ever that more than 20,000 fans attended any game or event, including hockey, in T-Mobile Arena. At one point the Fever missed 5 straight foul shots.
Man could they use a Celeste Taylor as the other guard and a similar player to Celeste at that 3/4 spot that they’re missing.
Did I miss some thin or has Sides still not drawn up plays to get CC open looks. The screens are still pretty bad, and they don’t come back around to Clark if they don’t have a shot.
I think Caitlin is tired... she will get stronger in the off season.
Clark is the team thermometer and will underperform with Sides as the coach every time. Where was Hull?
Coach Sides is destroying Caitlin's rhythm on shooting threes by not allowing her doing it! She is stoping Clark's strength. CC needs to transfer to another team or replace the coach!!!😠😠😠
Caitlin needs to ignore her coach. This is Caitlin Clark's team. Anyone not with that can get a day job. Clark still has the "coach" mindset from high school/college where the "coach": is a dictator you try and please.
The offseason will be huge for CC to work on her game on both ends of the floor. I would like to see CC get better on defense and playing off the ball. If CC can get to where Sabrina Ionescu is as a player, that would be good. That is who I compare CC to as a player.
You can't blame 22 for missed layups.
Hit on all cylinders versus Phoenix hitting on one or two against Las Vegas. Nalyssa Smith 14% from charity stripe. Couldn’t hit a jumper. 😢Mitchell off, Samuelson off, Fagbenle off. The new hire never showed up. I wouldn’t say Smith was the reason they lost, but it was one of the big reasons they lost. Clark 2 for 7 for three, but two of those were just as good as a pass. Boston caught it underneath and made the layup.
Chaunceygardner- Stop Lying! CC was not 2-7 from 3pt, she was 1-7 from 3pt and 4-12 total….she shot horribly as well so don’t forget to mention that
She had 11,should have been 18, assists. That's running and facilitating. Had more rebounds than everyone but Aliah.
CC could average 18 assists per game legitimately if her teammates made open shots and layups. Won't get there this season but 2-3 years down the line Clark is gonna put up ridiculous stats every game
And the Fever could win more games if CC makes her 3, she’s 3-17 the last two games, pathetic
All the hype and the most she can do is make good passes while her teammates do the scoring and still end in a lost 🤦🏾
They need rim runners, pure and simple.
They do fagbenle Lexie Hull Kelsey Mitchell Chelsea Wallace are runners but they're not gonna catch all those long showboat passes of CC
Wows with passes... I see you're easily impressed. Just which one of those passes to you feel will be in the "CC's greatest passes," video? The pick and roll you showed worked as it should, but was nothing special and certainly not spectacular. She's not in the same class as a passer as Sue Bird, who did make passes you didn't see everyday. Mitchell's been on a hot streak and so she's fed her the ball. The credit should go to Mitchell who has to make the long shot, not CC making a pass anyone can do. You keep talking like she's another Jayson Williams. You're not even in the right area code.
6 more turnovers. She was lucky. There was 3 or 4 other times the ball was tipped and the Fever got it back. She couldn't guard Plum, but we already knew that. Take a look at Natasha Cloud's stats the last 2 games: 17 assists and 4 turnovers. You're trying to find a silver lining, but the truth is the Fever got blown out by another good team. I didn't see Aja or Plum passing no torches. Do you see how much quicker she is then Clark? How much of a real 3-pt shooter that uses the entire arc she is? How she doesn't turn the ball over? The bottom line is the NCAA's highest scorer has to pass the ball to stay relevent. I don't blame her, she's doing what she has to do, but I won't put her on a pedestal for it. Your fanboy is coming out full bloom.
Most of Fever players have butter fingers bwa ha ha ha ha! A lot of assists by Caitlin Clarks were fumbled by her team mates. Aja's perimeter shooting is incredible. Kelsey Plum is always open at the 3 point lane.
The first 3 quarters were good.
Diana T said it there are some good WNBA players they gonna giver her a hard time but she is getting better and before you mention yes I know they won against mercury .
Smith needs to work on her free throws
Remarkable Caitlin still got another double double.
With 6 turnovers and lost by 20 all while letting KP score 34, yeah good game CC lol
Remarkable because she played horrible., but still manage to get another double double points and assists by a rookie which tied Sue Bird with 3 games. Caitlin has the last 3 consecutive games .
Yet Angel Reese just broke the wnba record for most double doubles in a row, 11 and counting…but you won’t give her love cuz she’s not in your demographic
Oh sure Angel Reese is awesome and if continues she will win the ROY.
CC should have had at least 5 more assists. Disappointed in her continued shooting slump. Not sure why she seems resistant to creating her own shot opportunities. Maybe that’ll come as the season progresses.
She can’t
@@WORKSbaby Surprised you could free up your hands from yourself long enough to type that. lol.
Her teammates should of had more assists too if CC hits some of her shots, 1-7 from 3 is pathetic
@@EricD-pj4wp HaHaHa. I love people who can simply show how ignorant they are just by commenting. Well done Eric, Well done. Not sure if you didn't actually watch the game or if you just have no clue how basketball works but you actually have to get the ball passed to you for someone to get an assist... LOL.
@@EricD-pj4wp exactly
Only 4 more rebounds for a triple double. Still waiting
Add her 6 turnovers to those rbds and there’s your triple double
@@EricD-pj4wp true that. Should do miss layups and get your own rebound like Reese
Adhdguy- or Reese should start shooting 3’s and go 3-17 like CC….or just start turning the ball over on every possession so she can catch CC 112 league leading turnovers
If the Fever could have bought some baskets (and free throws!!!) they played well enough to lose by six to eight points.
Sides must do better! Clark was guarded from the opposite free throw line for much of the game.
As much as I like her, she needs to start hitting her shots. She needs to become the scorer she was in college. She had a few great looks from beyond the arc but completely missed them.
What about the assists her teammates could’ve had if cc actually could make a shot
It wasn't THAT bad of a game, they were in it until the 4th quarter. I swear ppl don't even watch the gamess.
I Agree with you, 😊 if Samuelson ain't going to hit the 3's put in Berger.
Too many missed shots
Clark made 15 points. That is nothing to make bad comments about. I watched all Iowa games this last season. To see her frustration when so many players on her team just miss baskets from her passes that should be easy for them! Add those missed points and you have a closer game. This night, it still might have been a win for the Aces, but up until the 3rd quarter, it was a tight game playing against 4 USA Olympians! Give Clark some credit! Also as far as turnovers, separate how many her team should have caught versus her own (which is up there too) but unfair to put those numbers together!
Her teammates only missed 8 open layups
Didn't she miss a layup
@@denisebailey3226 come on, CC had ruptured lung, migraine, and a broken leg. that doesn't count.
@@dude8273 lol. They have every excuse under the sun.
Catilin Clark is a good basketball player all around. And the Aces did not crush them. They did not have an easy road beating the Fever.
To some extent, Caitlin’s turnovers are the downside of the same instincts that allow her to make spectacular passes.
Some of the turnovers are just bad decisions. Too risky.
Glad Taurasi respected CC last game and Plum this game. This is BIG and I hope it continues for the sake of CC and the WNBA.
They don't have any reason to resent her because of her skin color.
They were never disrespecting her!!! They just simply told the truth! Something which is hard for some to accept hence the outrage and fake narratives. Remember, Caitlin and all the other rookies knocked on the door of a house already built. The " rookies" should be showin respect to the previous and prior architects.
@@jshowy7053 Plum is Irish. Last time i checked Irish ppl are white.
@@realtv8132 when your snub about it, that’s disrespectful
@@dude8273yup he's saying the black players are jealous of CC22
cc had 1100+ assist in college, but pro's can't catch her passes, granted she is top 3 overall in assist. She should have God knows how many more
How long did it take for MJ and the bulls to win it all; before they had a championship game, 6 or 7 years ?
MJ was a rookie in '84/'85 won the '91 chip.
She’s also top 1 in turnovers
@@EricD-pj4wp Shes a point guard, she has the ball more than anyone else. Check out the top TO leaders in the NBA. She also gets counted for every pass her teammates miss or drop a pass that's counted as a turnover. She still has to work on her ball control., and she does do reckless passing
Now that I’ve watched some games, the Fever needs Katie Lou’s sister.
CC has to start draining shots, she's not MJ so putting her game in their face isn't an option. The wnba and players have decided to take the Clark money and clown her at the same time, yes it's a shitty thing to do but that's what the left does best. Her passing is unreal but unappreciated, and putting the ball in the cup is all people seem to understand. I know it's hard to get good looks without help, but she has to figure out a way. Hopefully she'll come back next season with 15 lbs of newbie gains and start making more room for herself.
Kelsey ballhog Mitchell should not have been an allstar over Carrington or Chennedy Carter
Karma came back on those two for what they did to Caitlin Clark
One for the cheap shot and the other one for mocking a real bump foul
All three are very talented and way better than caitlin it's just chennedy gotta temper no matter who it is and she's working on that
Robin go back and look at how many missed bunnies Caitlin laid in the there. Tami missed at least 3. She should have had at least 7 more assists. That's 14 points and could have changed the complexion of the game and I submit fever wins that game. Nalyssa missed 6 free throws. 14+ 6 = 20. They lost by 19
Smith also missed quite a few shots after Clark passed to her. Missing that many FREEthrows and open shots in the paint is high school level basketball at best.
CC was 19% tonight but let's just blame everyone else.
Fingerpickingood- what about all the missed shots CC missed? What about CC 6 turnovers? Why come CC only made 1-7 3pt shots and she’s suppose to be Curry like? Yeah she played borderline terrible but you want to blame everyone else 🤦🏽♂️
Dude8273- that’s what they do, blame the coach, teammates, refs, scheduling, anyone EXCEPT #22
For me, the passing is what I love. Long 3's.. not my thing. But passing like: Manu :D
Cc gets frustrated because her team cant score layups, and open shots ..and she thought they were passed that already, I think temi at least 3 katie 1 or two, Smith another 3 or 4 wallace 1-2 we are talking a really close game.. hull does not play burger bench keeper but they let go taylor, the other thing is that when they score at least half of those layups and open shots.. the other team would give cc better chances to score because they have to attend to that….on top of that, they dont know how to set up a screen or any other offensive scheme that gives her an open look for shooting…all of it has caused for her to get caught up in traps, etc, has forced her to take bad shots, miss, and loses confidence, does not attempts steps backs or to the side anymore, does not takes shoots off the dribble anymore…they are killing her…thats why she gets frustrated, players like her can see the game from the outside, they know what is needed to do to win, but she is not allowed, her coach cannot see it, CC is not having fun and thats why she is not even at 80% in her game..
It is. As a pro you can't miss free throws and layups. Smith missed 7 out 8 free throws. That just can't happen. Nalyssa needs to get with Cameron Brink and get her to help with free throws.
The Fever fought hard but their defence sucked later in their game. Their shots weren't falling they weren't getting good looks but they fought hard till the 3rd quarter.
Can the Fevers beat the WNBA Champs? Yes!! Yes!! 3 out of 5.
Kelsey Plum would be breaking records if she was playing for other teams. She is not used to her full potential in the Aces. The Aces have a stacked roster. A lot of good players are role playing and not playing upto their full potential.
Debatable. If teams focused their defense on Plum, it would be much more difficult for her. She has 3 other Olympians in the starting 5.
@@jshowy7053 Mitchell was guarding Plum one on one and Plum's shots weren't even contested while Fever didn't get that many great looks.
@@jshowy7053 you are not the best player if u can't handle that. Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson never get their flowers because they always play on a stacked roster. If u win games and put up insane stats with a team that has only 3 good players then you are the best.
it only shows fever still have a lot of things to improve on to compete against better teams in wnba. cc teammates need to practice make layups.
Missing 3s is not equivalent to Missing layups. So she's supposed to hit 100%from 3. 50% from 3 is off the charts and if she hit 50% that's only 9 more points. Yes I'm squarely putting the blame on those 7 missed bunnies
Lol... You will find anything to praise CC... Just crazy... If she has a complete bad game you will say Wow She is goat in tying her shoes ... And i love her game just stop this please... Just admit they lost because of her bad shooting and turnovers...
Fever need a now coach they don't make play for CC in 4 she his 0 pt coach need do bet job make play for CC get her open CC really don't have a good game she miss shot when she was open seen like bad game for hole team not just CC
#FACTS
Jason Williams is THEE best passer, better than Magic or Larry Bird. Caitlin and Jason the ultimate basketball passers.
I told yall i predicted a blow out and man i waw right. This dude putting CC pass game with those greats are insane. Tf this dude smoking
CC brings the circus, but if she fails to perform, people will stop coming
She’s performing great
I agree. This floor general, all around ball isn’t going to cut it much longer.
@@TheRobinLundbergno she’s not stop lying
@@TheRobinLundberg She is being restricted by Sides, this is obvious to anyone with eyes. Clark is not a pass-first player. Worse thing is, it is starting to affect her shot.
ALL-STAR TEAM Caitlin and Reese POWERFUL COMBO that will be now wouldn't it be Great if they beat the Olympic Team :)
Tigerslear- why would it be great? I mean Team wnba beat a team USA four years ago so why would it be great now….i can tell you are new to basketball cuz you didn’t even know that
Fever have improved but are still no match for the five best WNBA teams. I think thE Olympic break might help them. Some rest, some practice.
you forgot the legend ......Larry Bird
The fever need a bench no production off the bench, you have three people scoring and that's it. 😟
Stop mentioning James when you talk about elite passers. He is a good passer, he involves his teammates, or did. But he does not belong in the category with magic, Stockton, Nash, Thomas and the like.
Plum - was the reason the lost
Wow this is a sickness when these men praising mediocrity
❤CC22
Christie Sides, accomplished her job Demolishing Clark every game.Clark average going down every Game,because of CHRISTIE SIDES CONTROLLING HER and instructing to make PLAYS TO HER FAVS PLAYERS,WHEELER,MITCHELL,WALLACE
She is tired. Usually CC hits back of rim on misses, but last 2 games, she is missing short hitting front of rim.
Whole team shot poorly, missing layups, wide open 3s and free throws. Just average shooting percentage and they were in the hunt.
Think with Olympic break it will help her rest, gain the 10 lbs she wants to
Apparently, whenever fever wins, it's Cc but when the fever looses, it's the coach....Ummm
