God bless you abundantly!
The Fever's win against the Dream last night solidifies that Clark, Mitchell, Hull, Fagbenle, and Boston need to start & close games. That lineup has the best balance of offense, defense, rebounding, ball movement, energy, and hustle.
I agree.
If you put Fagbenle who will become your impact player from the bench?
Closing? Sure, I agree. Starting is different. At some point anyone has to get a rest. Specially Temi. AND if I have a chance, I take Smith with CC AND KM AND AB AND LH at the start of both halfs, compared to bench minutes with Samulson or Wheeler on the court with her.
Yes ! 101% agree that solid 5 Boston,fagbenle,Hull,Kelsey,&CLARK❤
@@neneodonkor Smith, and Dantas, but to rest Boston, and Temi. Wheeler should be used to "rest" Clark. To your point, the team is not "deep" enough to play around with the starters.But there is a player on the bench who should get minutes and that is Grace Berger. She came on against the Sky during garbage time, but the game was already over.
Lexie Hull was a 22% 3 point shooter last year.
She's shooting 70% since the break 😮
Lexie was so terrible last year it killed me to see her get minutes over Grace Berger. I admit though, Lexie has grown leaps and bounds this year and I think it’s mostly because she’s obviously close with Clark and they have developed great chemistry together.
😮
@@nikkijohnson983Or maybe she’s been spending more time in the gym shooting 3’s like crazy.
You should check Lexi Hull stats at college she was an amazing Hooper along with her sister I think the coach of the Fever has favorites and sabotages certain players one player got cut early in the year who should be on this team right now. Caitlin Clark is just too overpowering and incredible of a player and you can only do so much to sabotage her because she is unshakable she is granite with resolve and you're not going to make her quit she's just going to get stronger and it is affecting the other players it is contagious winning is contagious same as losing is contagious. If coach sides puts her ego aside I really think this team can win a championship this year but certain players have to quit wanting to be bullyball heroes One minute and then go along with the plan the next up and down up and down it's going to be Exciting I just hope they do not get one certain team first in the playoffs because bye bye
Caitlin has said she shoots 300 3 point shots per day outside of normal practice time. I suspect Lexie has started doing the same.
I'm 80 yrs old and learning a lot! Thank you! I appreciate you breaking the game down. Go Fever!
The Fab Five strikes again. I was the one who gave up and walked away. But after a few minutes, I decided to see it through, and man, I'm glad I did!
Ha, know how you feel! I look at it this way, I'll watch all I can to enjoy the wins with them, and may feel the losses with them, kind of like a family. But hoping many more wins!
I wanted to quit watching in the third quarter too. I didn’t think they could possibly come back. It isn’t that I don’t believe in the players. I do. I just don’t believe in Sides. But Adrienne was right. They did it! (Probably because Sides stayed out of the way).
ESPN says….”Hull is shooting 23 of 34 (67.6%) from 3-point range since returning from a monthlong break for the Paris Olympics.”
Team needs to get her 7-10 shots per game.
Who cares what their racist radical asses have to say
The game turned when NaLyssa and Katie got to enjoy the game from the bench. Period!!!
They be on the court to long
Can someone please tell Sides that
@@bluemajiic1979TOOOOOOO long 😂
Is that why CC was mad?
@@randomvintagefilm273I would say it’s a contributing factor cause she messes up a lot of CC’s good passes and it is frustrating
CC mentioned that in the post game that you cannot play behind the better teams as they will never allow you to run on them
What does that mean?
@@randomvintagefilm273 Read between the lines.
@@randomvintagefilm273 you should never let a better team gain a points lead ahead of you because it will be very difficult to catch up to them.
Sides said... "When we needed to slow down and run some good offense... and Caitlin came down and wanted to run some sprints." This half court 'slow' ball will result in a 1st round exit. She doesn't give Caitlin any credit but will highlight the lowlights. She threw CC and Lexie under the bus. Fire Sides ‼️
CC needs to flex her muscles and get this coach out after this season... I'm glad we won, but Sides got to go. We won despite Sides, not because of her.
AB showed why she was ROTY..BOSTON on FIRE 🧯
Fast ball is the game.they shine in!!
"Run and gun" as I like to say. But the fans are calling it "Feverball".
Christy sides want slow pace game.fired that idiot
Sue Bird praised them for that, said it's what makes them so lethal.
And Sides keeps trying to slow it down.
IOWA BASKETBALL!
This game was an emotional roller-coaster...Phew!!!
I never paid attention to the WNBA! But, I dropped over $500 to attend the game yesterday. Money well spent. What fun!
Did the same when I saw them in ATL this summer. These ladies can BALL!! Lots of CC and Fever jersey’s! So glad you made it!!
Was that for one ticket?
@@danpals7678 That was for 2 tickets. I should have been more clear about that.
You picked an exciting one!
Nice! Will have to wait for economy to strengthen before we can drop that kind of cash. Jealous. Still very much enjoyed being in the chat with Adrienne since we didn't have the game due to paywall channels.
This was a gritty win that will help build more resiliency for the Fever. The team could win more games if Sides would stop forcing the team to play offensive/ defensive schemes that don't bring out the majority of the team's strengths.
I've heard Erica Wheeler is speaking up in these time-out huddles and in these critical huddling-up moments with tide-changing speeches, telling the Fever, "Oh, no......we're gonna WIN this."
I love when Aliyah Boston plays bullyball. 6'5, 220lbs - when she plays mad you can't stop her.
Both teams played their butts off for this game. Atlanta won more battles but in the end Indiana won the war. It was definitely a fun game to watch and I was rooting for both sides equally. I think Atlanta blew it in the end by forcing the fouls on a free throw shooter that rarely misses. They had the game in their favor more than Indiana. Definitely a learning experience to grow from with this one for the Fever and they pulled through to the bitter in end in OT.
The biggest thing I have noticed when teams play the Fever, they play better than their stats would suggest. They don't play CC as if she is a rookie, they play her as if she is an MVP. The other teams always bring the heat which makes the Fever work that much harder for the win and rarely do they get easy wins. This one certainly wasn't easy. Respect to Atlanta for playing some good ball and respect to Indiana for not giving up and taking the win. The more pressure they get the better they have to play which is great training before the playoffs.
The Atlanta team plays us tough. They have many good players. They are better than their record would indicate. The Fever is slowly learning to play with poise. They can only learn how to do that by gaining confidence and winning tough games like this one.
Exactly , Atlanta would actually be in the playoffs if not for the four loses to the Fever . They are not an easy team .
Atlanta also had a lot of injuries earlier. They’re now about full strength and they can play much better than their record.
Their bad record was cause Rhyne was injured for awhile. All wnba level player
ATL can’t close out games. Just like today. Gray had a good shot to win the game but missed. They had a chance to beat Seattle a few days ago but missed a wide open three that clinches the game. Good team though.
When we move the ball, and people are moving and cutting instead of standing around with one person dribbling, we look great. It reminds me of how well Minnesota moves the ball.
When they play more of a read & react half court offense, where they are constantly moving… the offense looks better. The stagnant offense Sides runs is horrible.
Agree 💯💯💯
AB can turn it on when she wants to. She was amazing in the 4th q and OT. Just wish she would play like that more often. I think she knew it was going to be up to her and wow did she ever come through! Too much pressure for KM and CC and LH to have to carry the team with their intensity all the time.
especially when they have to play against their coach!
Atlanta dream did a great job against the Fever. They play hard and respectful. Rhyne Howard was an incredible offensive threat. Alisha Gray just all around tough player. Tina Charles, nice tough job in the middle and Jordan Canada did an incredible job tying up Caitlin…..thankfully the refs called the right fouls on her for playing to aggressively. This team made the Fever play differently when they needed to. The only part of the game I didn’t like was Caitlin getting frustrated. Attack…Attack….Attack….get tough and get through it. Caitlin has AB, CM, LH, TF that can and will shine as well:). GO FEVER!!!
This is such a young team, and building that "muscle memory" takes time and experience, so this is a great thing for them to learn about themselves. In the post-game interview Aliyah Boston said the atmosphere was like a playoff game, and Caitlin said something like, "How do you know, have you ever been in a playoff game?" The answer, of course, was no. So, experience...
At what point does this young ream narrative dry up . If your good enough your good enough
@@fredjames9867 Since they have been playing together four months, I would say not for awhile yet. I think it takes a year or two playing together to reach your potential as a team. Your opinion may be different.
I "caught" that too. I believe Clark was saying "If you think that was loud, you aint seen nothing yet".
@@tonyedwards3938 Yes, I believe you are correct.
AB has a championship ring. She knows loud. Go Gamecocks.
The Fever are at their best by keeping other teams off balance running a fast paced offense. It's how they went on a win streak after the Olympics. A half court offense is too slow and makes it easier for the Fever to be stopped defensively.
They either need to learn half court offense or decide to play defense because teams aren't just going to allow them to run as much as they want to.
@@claytonstangeland Exactly! This is something people don’t get.
@@erikkdane8485 You cannot run consistently if you’re not getting stops or rebounding. You have to be able to do both-run when you create turnovers and get rebounds and play in the half-court when the run option is taken from you. If you only have one thing in your arsenal, you won’t get far.
And their movement is bad. You would think that if Sides really wanted a half court game, that she would have the team work on it. But it really doesn't suit the teams style of play.
@@claytonstangelandyes, they need the versatility to have more than one offensive style.
Wow! You are sky high, tonight! The game excitement you reference is now exposed to more of us formerly non-WNBA fans due in great part to Caitlin! And kudos to ALL of the ballin’ women of the WNBA!! There’s a lot of great athletes in that league but before CC, I never watched one WNBA game. And as much as I appreciate CC, I’m a huge fan of all of the Fever players! Go Fever! Greg (69.6yo white dude)😊😅😂❤🎉
I'm really grateful that Aliyah has such a cool head. Because CC gets frustrated and isn't always able to be that encouragement for her teammates. I thought it was interesting to know that 2 previous coaches had to make her watch video of how she comes across in high stress situations. She's had to work on this in the past.
She's fiery. Often, players' greatest strengths are their greatest weaknesses. You want to rein them in but not too much.
@@theadriennerossshowAnd her great Iowa college coach knew how to manage her and accepted both. She also took on more of the issues for her team in confronting refs so her players didn’t have to. Well said Adrienne.
Absolutely agree! Don't want to change her. So it's wonderful that there are other leaders like Aliyah and Erica in terms of staying positive. Love our puzzle pieces!@@theadriennerossshow
Born and raised in Lexington Kentucky, so I’ve watched a basketball game or two. I love watching this team. I started watching because of Clark, no lie, but when I saw Mitchell and Boston!! Over the last few months I’m looking to see when the next game is. When Hull was coming off the bench, I was like “who is this skinny girl?” You can’t hardly keep up with her. She was all over the floor! Since she got the start, I still can’t keep up with her, but another piece of the puzzle is in place. This entire team is just fun to watch!!!
I loved Caitlan in college and have learned to love the other Fever players as I got to know them. So now I am an Fever fan in Florida. But, as you must hear all the time, Caitlan needs to grow up. She does so much "right" as a human being and a player, but also things not so right. The moodiness during the game, at times after the game, the hysterics aimed at officials (justified or not) etc. It is more a game of controlling emotions, than counting on emotions to win for you. If she learns to control her emotions on the court, she will cut her turnovers in half and be a much more effective team leader. But what a great talent, and a courageous player.
CC is the quarterback of the Indiana Fever! Let her cook and cook and cook!!!!!
Two words... Aaliyah Boston!! 🔥 🔥
@@aprilgaines8992 I agree AB hit six straight free throws that got the Fever back in the game but also got the other teams big in foul trouble and she was cooking but had to ride the bench especially in the fourth quarter!
@@rudvy1 Not to mention A.B putting the game into overtime!! MVP of the game IMO!! 🔥 🔥
@@aprilgaines8992 breakout game for her. Keep it up!
ive been saying we need fagbenle over smith, smith can score more but fagbenle and hull have the most clutch late game plays in the league having them both on the floor is like double chance to close out the game with a win
Smith is lazy. She jogs back on defense.
@@jeffreypierce1440 And that's why Hull and Temi are in there late. I would still start Smith because the Fever need a rebounder with Boston to start. Temi is fire coming off the bench.
Temi gets those rim run points and Hull as well. AND they play defence
@@artistamisto Maybe but she has to be pulled sooner and play less minutes overall.
If someone told me at the start of the season the Dream wouldn't get a single win over the Fever, I would have never believed it.
Clark was pissed off at half time. Sides did something to piss Clark off.
Sometimes you win a game you have no business winning. They were sloppy as the Fever had 2x as many turnovers, and Atlanta took advantage of it. But Fever showed alot of heart, never gave up, and made plays. Greats win!
I watched the game with my nephew , I said damn I love Lexie. He said sorry unc she's mine lol. He's 8
Boston worked for it❤
What i love about AB is that when she gets a offensive rebound she has the ability to grab it in the air and put it right back up, without bringing the ball down to her waist or putting it on the floor. She grabs the ball in hands and shoots it before she lands her feet on the floor. I've seen her do that 2 or 3 times this season.
Look, a win is a win, is a win! Whether you win by an inch or win by a mile, winning is winning!
THE FEVER-DREAM GAME GAVE ME A NIGHTMARE COACH..LOL!😅
Our players won the game. Coach Sides is no help.
She panics and just throws the wrong combo in there
She did call timeouts a couple times when the Dream were early in a run. She had the Fever's best five (Clark, Boston, Mitchell, Hull, Fagbenle) on the floor at the end. Other than that, it's on the players.
@@melissawilson5160 2 Clowns showing how little they know about basketball. Log off you've had enough internet.🚫🧠🤡🤡
I still say CC was dealing with a migraine. You can just tell by the way she grabs her forehead and rubs her temples.
That coach will give you a migraine.
Agree
Gotta be tough when the coach spews mostly nonsense platitudes and often is indecisive in game situations. She hordes timeouts and has no confidence of when to utilize them to reset her team or halt the other teams momentum.
They said she was, and she was throwing up earlier. Also, that is why she ran to the locker room at halftime.
@@Monica0628Sure hope she isn't pregnant.
The ball movement on that scoring play was so awesome. Fantastic decision-making.
Sensational Caitlin Clark popularity and fever is also reaching /spreading across Asia...Go, go, go... CC!!!
What a game, Wow, what a Thriller and intense 👏 😳 👌 game it was, 👏 👌 😳 , I'm just Happy 😊 😃 😀 the Feaver Won, Go Feaver and Caitlin Clark 💪 💪 💪 ..............
Imagine the assists CC would have if not for all those turnovers, dropped passes, and missed shots... CC works her butt off! I believe that with additional talent and a new coach, this team will be much improved next season.
BRILLIANT OPENING!!! I taught Hughes, too.. and when I heard your opening to this video I said, "YASSSS!!!!" and laughed a bit! Just brilliant.
I think Fever should take a new coach who's more knowledge how to coach this team to play in the playoff.. Sides is holding them back..
AB making shots! Hull defense! Temi hustle! KM crazy good. And CC being CC!!!!
Every game is a playoff game for the Fever. It’s a good thing because when playoff comes they’re already used to it.
This was a tough win, but the Fevers showed gutsy comeback and a refusal to give up. To not give in, to be competitive so long and so hard shows our Fevers are Champions. Congratulations, CC, AB, LH, KM, TEMI, Smith, and all the Fevers.
Fever never gave up! CC*AB*KM*LH*TF 🏀👌
Lights-out Lexie!!!
LOL
I have noticed that the last couple of teams had more people into the rotation. This will be a factor in the play offs.
Great channel, educational, frank, mature, incitful, literary reference is extra gold!!! Thanks!
I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but my stomach does somersaults in the pike position when NaLyssa touches the ball. I just can’t 🤯🤦♂️
Smith should never start again. Temi is ready to play 30 + minutes.
@@Oneanddone14💯
same with me😂
she is willing has some skills and is a good rebounder but she is so slow in delivering her shot and making her move
@@thomasespositio3139 Dude it drives me crazy when she don’t go right up immediately off the pass. 🤯
That play works also, because teams have to consider that Hull has become a 3pt threat. They drop the double team because they have to consider covering Hull.
The whole team getting better opens up options.
The Dream were a tough out because they were a team under desparation. They were tied for the 8 th seed and the game just meant more to them and it showed. Thank goodness the Fever had just enough to pull out the win. Another issue that was apparent seemed Clark and Sides were not on the same page scheme wise and Clark was visibly upset with Sides turning her back on her.
LOVE the POETRY! Reading the CLASSICS is a GREAT Pass Time!
People still haven't got used to the fact that this Fever team is very young and learning its craft in the public glaze. I have faith that this franchise will learn what it needs to do in quick time and it's exciting to see. Coach sides keeps raising the 1% in her answers to journalists questions. This is known as the Law of Marginal Gains, which was famously used by the hugely successful GB cycling team to build and build and build. It's a good principle for elite athletes and sports squads and I'm excited to see how this works for women basketball and the Fever..
Are you sniffing bath salts? Sides is the wrong coach for this team. The quarter court offense is awful. She still starts Smith when no other coach would. This team has fast break players, not slam it in the paint personel. Watch UA-cam clips from the 1980s Lakers and the nineties Phoenix Suns. You will change your opinion
@ 2smoulder. That comparison is the ultimate insult to Dave Brailsford, who masterminded the development of the Sky Team. from its creation forward. If Cheryl Miller had been the coach, I might have agreed.
@@petegarnett7731 Wasn't meant to be an insult, merely a reflection of the principle that Dave Brailsford exploited to the max. Of course, Christie Sides is not in his league, but that's not the point I was making. Thanks anyway...
@@Oneanddone14 I will try to get around to those when I have time. I was concentrating on the principle rather than the personnel.
I was at the game in Indy yesterday and that place was electric, what a game and what a win. Go Fever.
I found out what makes the fever, having difficulties in her games: Christie Side, she is a terrible coach.
We figured that out in the first 9 games. Slimes is either the worst coach ever or she is doing it on purpose. Lynx game she took Lexi out with 4 minutes to go. Why? She's our best defender. She could contribute even with 4 fouls. She can't contribute sitting on the bench. Dumb, dumb, dumb or malicious!
@@danpals7678 I agree, Coach should have left Lexie in the game and let her foul out. That late in the game, there's no point in hoarding the final foul.
Old English Major here remembering reading Langston Hughes in the NY Herald Tribune, if memory serves, during the sixties when I was an English Major in NYC. I always liked his poetry, but he was very fine columnist who I always looked forward to reading.
“Muscle memory”. I like that! It’s investing in loss! Leads to a great future… well, now IS the future! Shane
Sides said... "When we needed to slow down and run some good offense... and Caitlin came down and wanted to run some sprints." This half court 'slow' ball will result in a 1st round exit. She doesn't give Caitlin any credit but will highlight the lowlights. She threw CC and Lexie under the bus. Fire Sides ‼️
Caitlin Clark is the clinician
Adrienne Ross....I stumbled into your site a couple months ago... and I absolutely LOVE it. Thanks for your comments and outlook. You are knowledgeable, fun to listen to, and I enjoy your perspective!
So kind of you to say! Thank you, and I'm glad you're here!
Absolutely right. Beautiful play - a work of art.
All sounds good but Sides will find a way to stuff it up 🤷🏽. Coach Side should just worry about the right rotation and timeout. Step aside and let CC run the show 👊🏾✌️
Fever's Fab Five! Bow Bow Bow!
I never have said this before, or even thought it when listening to sports stuff - - - But great poetry. That was fun.
I just love your commentary. There are so many others on youtube who ramble on or spit out a bunch of nonsense. I hope you keep going with the “basketball edition” i find myself agreeing with you all the time. The fever should have you calling the games!
A dream deferred.
One of my favorite poems of all time.
There are already people out there, lamenting, they should have dominated, it was an ugly win and now they're doomed for the playoffs, BUT...
If you never learned to overcome adversity and eke out a win in any way possible, you won't make it very far.
from my own experience in sports, I found out that no furious blow-out win, gives the satisfaction of a grind-it-out 1-point win.
Breezing through dominant wins, often ends in complacency - not good in a pressure situation, when it's 'win or go home'.
The one's lamenting they should have dominated are missing the fact that Fever beat Atlanta 4 times to give them the weaker record . Had it been the other way around , Atlanta would have 16 wins and Fever would have 15 .
Truth. These games are worth like 5 games of experience. Pressure up all the way and gritting out a win. You learn from overcoming adversity, not blowouts
Thank you for your common sense approach to this madness. The poem was a nice touch, well-thought! I wish you were my kids' teacher/coach.
We appreciate you! Team excellence is a journey.
Did anyone notice that Caitlin and Sides seemed to be having a disagreement?
Temi needs to be in the line up. She brings energy, hustle, toughness, defense, & rebounding to this team. Also, I want the ball in CC's hands drawing the double & feeding Boston on the pick & roll or on the block. Don't understand Side's offense with all the bigs on the perimeter. Boston needs to go hard to the bucket & take it up strong. Too much dribbling in the lane & getting P ushed under the bucket. Boston should dominate every game withh CC feeding her.
Boston needs to be fronting more around the free-throw line. She is more dangerous in this position than backing up.
But trim doesn’t shoot! She’s 3ft on the hoop and looks to pass! Points matter most!
Indiana Fever must remain the fast pace play to overwhelm their opponents defense period!!!!
I have to admit, I kinda gave up when Atlanta's lead became 16 with 6:48 left in the third quarter, and the team not really clicking on all fronts..then Sides made the best decision she's ever made this season, take Smith out and replaced her with Temi, and just like that the team's energy turned..a bucket here, some stops here, another bucket here, and before I knew it the lead was chopped down to 5. Then, Sides made her second best decision, she kept the same five players on the floor and just let them do what they do best. Between regular and overtime period, you can sense the difference with these five players..as they walked from the bench to center court for an overtime tip off, they were talking to each other, with smile on their faces and some laughter..I knew already, this game was won. Hopefully, Sides will stick to these same five going forward..don't fix what ain't broke//
My English teachers were my Basketball coached in High School, there must be something in the water with literature and basketball
One thing that seems often overlooked in these conversations is that the other side can do magic too.
I stood the entire game and there was a lot of yelling. My cat got up and left pretty early on shaking his head. I’m glad she was better at calling timeouts but jeeeeeezzzzz 😂
Teme Fagbenle is a monster that cannot be denied!!!
The win: A Reality Preferred.
I knew CC's coaching of Aliyah pow,pow,pow would pay off, she has talent.
Class has started with Coach Ross!!! Momentum...next level stuff! ---Just want to say, I really appreciated my Jr High English teacher, Mrs. Allen. --she was brand new to our school in Chugiak, AK. I'm old now, but what a difference she made in my life ... 7 parts of speech went a long ways! Hope she's still going strong ;-)
That's great that you remember and honor her--and that you're from Alaska. I'm familiar with hearing about Chugiak. 😊
Great point Adrienne on Lexi back to boston
Great post game analysis, Adrian. Positive. Much help!
The Fever are going to have to adjust their mentality now. They are becoming the "hunted" vs. the "hunter". Every team they face will bring their "A" game.
Thank you for the break down of that play. When I was watching I was wondering what Lexi was doing passing it back to her. The commentators did good explaining what happened in the moment, but your break down and thought that it was something that coach Sides set up was enlightening and meaningful. Also, hello fellow Missourian.
Love the clear muscle analogy.
If Christy called that post play since AB was having a great game, that play was brilliant and earned her coach accolades! They nailed that fantastic post play!
NaLyssa is NOT a starter so Christie Stop, Just Stop. She does better when she comes off the bench.
The Best starting Five is CC, AB, KM, LH, TF.
Christie waits to long to call a time out when the opposing team is on a run either coming from behind or taking the lead.
The 98 point tie. It was a great play, Temi was wide open underneath twice. They have an inside assist if Boston looks inside.
What is what the young Fever needs the most? EXPERIENCE! This provides them with experience on how to win when it seems that you are going to loose! When you experience comebacks, then in the future you remember what you already did in the past to have another comeback! The Gever were given a great opportunity to learn and develop needed experience for the future! God trains us the same way but most of us are too busy whining instead of learning to gain needed experience for the future challenges coming our way; inevitably so. We live in a fallen world and bad things are right around the corner! When you know what to do, you’re not overwhelmed and focus on doing what needs to be done to get the desired outcome! Too many times we simply give up.
the best thing clark ever did was get a degree in marketing ... the wnba has alot of hateful types of comments coming from its players and ex players ... clark and her dad who is also in marketing did a great job marketing her ... none of those negative comments came from clark ... clark knows the negative stuff don't sell well ... i think that's what has been the toughest thing to overcome for the wnba as far as bringing in and keeping fans
That Boston play you talked about around the 11:30 mark looks like 4 people standing and watching Boston. Luckily Lexie helps out when the triple team comes and feeds it back, but It sure looks like the others could be doing a bit more to get open.
Cc and Mitchell loves that fast run ,she stated thisonce before
so shegets frustrated when she slow them down
Good game
Players: "We gave Sides 3 quarters. Time to win"
I was told from someone who was at the game that CC didn't mix with the fans like she normally does at halftime or after...and that she suffers from migraines and didn't look well and was on the sidelines rubbing her head. On another note, I have a coworker who was there Fri with her daughters and we both acknowledge that she lacks maturity when it comes to accountability for fouls whether giving them herself or accepting w/o the "2yo tantrum" with just laying on the floor complaining. The Fever didn't run their normal fast game maybe because after Friday they realized they had to pace themselves because on Fri they wore themselves out by 3rd qtr. Rest up for the Aces.
Young people act like young people. Who in their 20's doesn't point the finger elsewhere?
😮 Great critique by AR!
It was a tough game to watch but good for the playoff. No team should be taken for granted. Learn and improve as you reach upper echelon.
I am not a basketball person and only got interested because of Clark.
But, it does seem (from what I have gathered) that the Fever is not being taught how to play defense.
They do seem to blow a lot of leads in the 3rd and have to scramble to make it up or lose.
I would like to know your thoughts on this.
By the way I saw you say your B-Day is on 9/27, mine is 9/28, hope you have a good one.
Defense is effort and heart. They have the mentality of hoping the person they’re guarding misses the shot versus FORCING them to miss. If they would all take notes from their own teammate Lexi Hull, they would be in a whole lot better shape defensively. I just thought I’d add my 2 cents. ✌️
@@B.Nice2U Thank you, and a good 2 cents. It seems they should be taking notes from their coach, don't you think? It seems this failure to play defense is coaching, and that coaching is from a person we are told is a defensive genious.
Any number of people on UA-cam can point out, with video evidence, where the Fever is falling short.
My opinion is they are winning because they are overpowering on offense, and losing because even Clark is not being coached good defense.
@@B.Nice2U Good answer, but why don't they mix up man-to-man with a zone defense? They wouldn't be so predictable.
@@keithm9337 Your point is valid and in this case, both are true at the same time 👍
@@tomb7862 The reason the Fever lost the last game was because the defense was stumbling around not knowing what position to be in. They left the 3 shots wide open, missed most of their own 3 shots, and they lost.
