Rookie of the Year Caitlan Clark ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How to sabatoge Clatin Clark and the Fever team. Coaching moves:
• Constantly change the lineup.
• Allow opposition scoring runs without calling time outs.
• Call timeouts to break Fever momentum.
• Bench your star player when she gets hot.
• Don't prep team coming off big wins.
• Take the ball out of your star player's hands in the cluch.
• Let basic team skills languish with no development coaching.
• Be active to appear to coach, but don't actually coach.
• Play marginal players to allow opponents to catch up/ take the lead.
• Stick with game plan that doesn't.
• Don't go back to game plans that have worked.
So called "Coach" does the opposite of what she is supposed to do. Also, she is supposed to be a DEFENSEIVE oriented Coach, BUT can't coach the team to DEFEND....She is basically incompetent.
here comes the coach blaming hahahahahah she had 6 turnovers aga and lost at home to the worst team
@@BIBLEBOY-xu7syI’ll take the 5-6 TOs a game given how much more she touches the ball as most point guards do and is responsible for a combined 55 points today. If you think Caitlin cost them the game with those turnovers and the coach played no role in losing then you’re clueless . By the way the top four players with most turnovers in the league are all point guards. Hazard of the position ace.
@@BIBLEBOY-xu7sy you need a hug
@@KevinPauling Don't pay any attention to this guy. People like him have no life. Hence why he's talking **** about someone who actually did something with theirs
I agree, the starters should be the all-stars Clark, Mitchell, Boston, and Smith, and Hull. These 5 have great energy and really work together.
I agree though I'd like to see Temi in for Smith when she's healthy. I think Clark, Mittchell, Hull, Fagbenle, and Boston is the lineup that best fits the speed Clark wants to play at and the speed that the Fever seem to be at their best.
We have been entertained by Caitlin Clark. Today, you could say she exceeded our expectations.
29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 blocks...
per CBS and other news media, "No other player has hit these marks in a single NBA or WNBA game since at least 1973-74 (when steals and blocks were first tracked)"...
Besides all other records she's broken and continues to shatter...
Stat padding in trash time. That was a fake come back being down 21 going into the 4th.
127 turnovers in 23 gms... the record for a season is 137...

Caitlin Clark is also leading the WNBA in total points generated by direct scoring and assist, you need to check this but it is around 765 points thru 23 games
The ROTY is not even close. Caitlin is so multifaceted and affects the game so much. Her turnovers are coming down. Her blocks and steals create a huge chasm between her and reese
Clark fans don't live in the real world. Her turnovers are coming down? She averges5.5 and had 5 more today
Reese is the highest rated rookie in player efficiency #20 (19.8) Clark is #47 (15.7). Reese is the highest rated rookie in win shares #15 (2.4) Clark is NUMBER 75YIKES ( 0.4) Reese is number 17 among players who DON'T turn the ball over. Clark is the turnoverest player in history #1 (127 second place has 79) Offensive rating, Reese #37 (108) Caitlyn #96 (96) Defensive rating Reese #38 (99) Caitlyn #113 (109)
All I hose fancy stats but yet can't hit fifty percent from the feet or less, averages less points a game then Clark, averages less points per shot then Clark, averages less point contribution team points then Clark, less blocks then Clark. Your stats dum bass are also flawed considering Clark shoots thirty feet away, so yes she's going to have worse shooting stats due to her position of play, I would argue Reese is actually under performing considering when she shoots from, she should AR worse be near fifty five percent not low forties.
@@jdneely9939 Stats don't care about emotion nor opinion.
True. It makes no sense to take CC out on defense because she had some great steals.
Dude she's a turnover machine
Sad when the coach has no answer for changing the lineup all the time
That comeback attempt was fun to watch. Almost!
Prime example of how CC is a good defender
1st half, she wasn't good at defending. To her credit though, she does run around alot, and plays lots of minutes and I see her standing around near the ball. That is maybe to not get in foul trouble, but she should at least be in the right position, and put her hands up to obstruct the eyes of the opponents.!!!
Is this sarcasm I can't tell? I'm a fan of CC and appreciate the statline she put up tonight, but I'm also a realist. Her having good block and steal numbers does not mean she played good defense. She routinely lost track of her off ball assignment which led to a number of back cuts and open 3's. I'm not saying she is a BAD defender when she puts in effort, but she's definitely undisciplined and inconsistent when her player doesn't have the ball and chases steals/rebounds
@@patricklarson7564Man if every Clark fan was like you she would be beloved in the league
@@patricklarson7564 Steals and blocks are used to judge how good a defender you are. This has been true for decades.
@@brichards9293 So your position is that the more blocks or steals a player averages, the better of a defender they are? Are you sure you want to go with that?
Sides changing the starting lineup inexplicable. She must be replaced.
Funny, she was being criticized for not starting Lexie Hull.
You wonder what the Fever would look like with the Mystic's coach.
3 blocks from a 6 footer. Let that sink in....
Isn't Caitlin Clark 6 ft??? What is your point?
The avg size of a wnba guard is 5,8
@@dwayneyambra1865 Maybe that Clark is 6' and has 20 blocks on the season while Reese is 6'3 and has 9 . Clark is ranked #16 in the WNBA for blocks. Reese is #43
Caitlin guarding shorter guards but AR is a undersized forward @@Brett33
127 turnovers in 23 gms ... let that sink in... a turnstile on defense... let that sink on..
Mitchell was 0-8, one off the top of the backboard and that last shot wasn't even close. Why did they draw up the final shot for Mitchell? I don't get some of her decisions at all.
Because it worked before, and I suppose she thought that Mitchell would hit that shot....The coach can't read the room, and the players. She does the wrong thing ALL the time, by not calling timeouts when opponents have big runs, or when the team is hot, they take out CC, or other teammates who are running hot.
SIDES SUCKS AT A RIDICULOUS LEVEL.
ONLY CAITLIN SHOULD GET THE PLAY FOR THE COMEBACK, LIKE JORDAN. HE MISSED 26 BUT HE HAD SO MANY.
Caitlin is an amazing ball player and leader!!!
Sides & coaching staffs needs to have an early vacation!
CC the white Mamba
I'm surprised Coach Sides didn't say Caitlin Clark wanted to change the starting lineup.
Great commentary, especially noting the incredible impact on the very youngest fans. This is something like the effect from the mid 20-teens until now, and the future, of Katelyn Tuohy, who emerged over that time as the greatest high school cross and one of the top two or three track runners of all time, and a generational talent in college. KT's appearances at weekend meets in the New York area required security after the was in 8th grade. By the way, CC and KT are both 22. Tuohy is now a pro runner with Adidas.
One of those games where it's glaringly obvious that Sides has to go at the end of the season
You are wasting two months if you wait that long.
I agree the starting lineup should be Boston, Clark, Mitchell, Hull, and Smith (until Fagbenle gets back). Samuelson is a good shooter but moves like she is running in wet cement with cinder block shoes. Clark's shooting, passing and general situational awareness reminds me of
Pistol Pete Maravich. She's like a basketball Swiss Army Knife.
Sides is truly the slowest HC at any level in any sport in America
yeah she is dim light bulb making $500,000 give her credit ha
@@coachfezz1137 it's a great lick fasho
To be fair, Wilt would have had 1000 of those stats if they had counted blocks and steals in his era. Russel, too.
The Mystics just hustled their asses off. They wanted it more and were ready. Their offensive movement and passing was phenomenal as well. Wonder if their coach would be interested in coaching the Fever....LOL
I think CC finally got frustrated enough going into the 4th, that she started taking over the game more. If she is allowed to play that way for an entire game, this team gets better instantly. That doesn't mean her shooting all the time or taking forced shots, but rather just pushing hard and either shooting or driving to get the assist or finish. They obviously will never be able to set proper screens for her on a consistent basis, so at this point, just give her the ball and let her create. And I know she is somewhat lazy on defense but I really think that is for a reason and helps her fill passing lanes for steals and drop to help and get blocks as well as rebounds. So you kind of have to take the bad with the good.
Curious to see how well DD does when she gets into better game shape. She seems really smooth.
Great take
ROTY DEBATE IS OVER. don’t come at me with doubles. I need to see 5 stat categories at the MINIMUM.
Taking Clark out for "defense" when she has 5 steals and you need a steal is coaching vandalism. Nothing is getting better with Sides as the coach.
CC was just 2 blocks short of a 5 X 5 game. Has this ever been achieved in the WNBA?
I think only 1 or two times max but yeah it has
❤CC22🐐
MVP
Now that is an ESPN stat if I have ever seen one.
Is Temi injured again? What happened?
It's still the thumb she got injured in the game before the Phoenix game, as far as I know. She had it taped up heavily during the Phoenix game and the one after that, but apparently it got reaggrevated or she didn't feel she could play effectively with it. She blew a few open layups she normally makes during the Phoenix game and it looked like it had something to do with how her hand was taped.
@@patricklarson7564 That would explain why she was missing so many layups and passes. I wish her a speedy recovery.
I kept thinking in the second quarter to go to a zone, pack the key and force WA to shoot to a win instead of the back doors. Put two of our bigs at the low posts on defense and rotate our bigger forwards through the top of the key to ensure a fast transition game. This would have forced WA bigs to keep up with our bigs (which they can’t). I’m a layman (not a WNBA coach) and I was able to see that strategy.
100% MVP
And im not being a fan boy
She has created the most points in the league
She is destroying records
And they aren't just Rookie records
I could see hee losing the MVP but she definitely should be in the mix
Rookie...
Giving it AR is nothing but politician nonsense imo
Lmfao mvp for leading the league in zero categories but turnovers, and having big game against the worst teams? You mf are truly delusional.. lmfao anytime a Greta white hope gets beat for something it’s political bs or dei lol your opinions mean little
Can’t come back from 21 down except in the rarest of cases.
You got it right! Plus leaving Colson alone from your favorite spot while 3 players guard one
Been saying that about the Mystics for a while now . They have had some really close games with the top teams , only to fall in the 4th period . They came close again today . What the heck was going on with Boston, Smith and Mitchell today ? Boston , Smith and Clark all had 5 fouls and Mitchell couldn't hit a 3 .
The Mystics averages 79 points a game and they had over 50 at half time. They just shot the ball well and the Fever had many turn overs too.
MVP, MVP, MVP…Go CC
Here is my conspiracy theory. The general manager and owner have agreed to tank the season. They know all they have to do is keep Sides as head coach which is the same as tanking the season. They will get another 1st round pick and can fire Sides and blame her for everything. Sides is so far in over head that it's just pathetic.
Agree. Fire Dunn
Records don’t mean nothing if your team is losing.
That’s was the issue I had with Russell Westbrook during his triple double run. He was making history while his team was getting rampage.
Damn, I think the whole ESPN staff showed up to this thread with their HR reps.
I don't think Boston was on the floor for the comeback, just after that for the loss. I could be mistaken though.
Because I said so. Sides interrupted the flow and connectivity. Purposely.
Either the coaching staff underestimated the Mystics or wanted playing time for the pet vets. Either way, it was reckless, costly and just plain bad decision-making. They should've known better than this, 25 games in. Hope this will be the last time we see of this line-up "experiment", seeing how it backfired.
Please be the first podcaster to explain that there are different DDs!!!!
What happened to the big girl that Indy drafted back a few games ago
Terrible defense by Fever. Sides always changes the lineup of the two players, either Wallace, Samuelson, Wheeler, Hull. Those positions are interchangeable with anyone on the bench it seems according to Sides coaching.
And she is supposed to be a Defensive orientated Coach....She sucks as Coach in General....
They a free 3, while 3 guard one to Colson!
Sides is a DEI coach, FIRE SIDES
Katie lou ran the floor once or twice and then took a break getting the defensive board Caitlin has been getting.
Lexi Hull should definitely be starting over Wallace, and I don't mind Samuelson starting either. They just didn't play well
Stats that will indict AR like there are two different DDs.
Damn, all the AR fans came in at the same time. Dey salty af
They can’t seem to help themselves. Bless their hearts.
Reporters need to ask better questions. I'd be pissed if I was Sides. Regardless of how you feel about her coaching, to have reporters ask back to back questions immediately that are not inquisitory but rather accusatory is pretty disrespectful IMO. Ask her what she thought the Fever could have done better. Ask her what the Mystics did that was hard to handle. I'm not sitting here praising Sides by any means but man the reporting is unbearable sometimes.
Took Robin 6 whole minutes to minutes to mention angel Reese lol rent free
Great statline. And back below her avg on rebounds... meaning... not flirting with a Triple Double...... huh.
You lost me saying she should be a MVP. Come on now man. She dont even average 20 points a game and her team is like 5 games under 500 and she’s a mvp favorite..
A paid agent does not always have to have a black suit with a white shirt on...
They should have not lost this game, to much Fever line up changes in first half….
Coaches Decision. Suspended Smith without pay for the rest of the 2024 season!! She's only in it for a paycheck!! Let her go and earn it somewhere else!! Bye, Bye Smith!!😂😂😂
She was 2 blocks away to a five by five it’s call. If she gets that there is no way she can’t be the ROY
Garbage time output against a bad and injured team and they still lost. Like I said after the Liberty game: nothing has changed with their defense the Liberty just missed an awful lot of open looks. The reason the Fever were able to come back at all had more to say about the young and inexperienced 2nd stringers the Mystic have to play because three of their starters are out until after the break. The Fever have all they can do to beat them now. If the Mystics can pick up one more win before the break and when Sykes, Austin and Samuelson return after the Olympics, it'll get interesting.
Lost to the Great 5-17 Washington Mystics....CC takes her team to 9-14...I love it.
Oops, Coach lost this one w stupid decisions, NOT CC.
No one gets credit when Fever win but Clark so why mention Mitchell and Boston
Line up change throw the team off. Coach Sides needs to emphasize the importance of defence and rebounding. Stop saying they got to do better. Teach them in practice. The team should have came out of fire.
Amazing. I know you say I'm always in here giving you grief, but not so much. Today, you are saying what iv been trying to tell you.
This ROTY talk has been nonsense! (and coincidently pushed by those with an agenda) It is not close, it's never been close. It should not have taken the games today for you to know that, you should have known sooner.
Reese is a solid player, she has all the tools to have a long career if her attitude does not get in its way. (like Carters did) And, Carter is a far better player overall, Reese may not get a 3rd and 4th chance if she screws it up. But, I'm not diminishing her numbers (I may the streak now) She is a Charles Oakley player, a very long career of 10 &10 per game. Book it. Yet at the same time, you never, ever, choose Oakley over a Magic or Jordan. Jordan off the court, currently Magic on the court.
Ball me man would help the defense
Where is Tami
I read earlier that she’s still having problems with her hand/finger. I really like her and will be glad when that injury heals and she can play again.
no such thing as almost, they also almost got blown off the court.
DC plays dbl bigs. You take your other big out. Boston and Smith block out for CC def reb.
Dang dude you just don’t want to admit she’s a bad coach. She changed lineups after a win before, she doesn’t make adjustments especially after watching Katie Lou get demolished by the Mystics in those switches and then not doing a thing about the layup clinic on back door plays.🤦♂️
Clark may or may not get ROTY. She's not in the same area code as MVP.
Empty calorie stats
Almost only good in horseshoes 😂😂😂
Kaitlin Klark Klan love making excuses
Dude on Fentanyl
MVP for a good stat line against the worst teams in the wnba is absolutely insanity🤦🏾♂️😭😂 she isn’t half the player Aja Wilson or Stewart or even plum is white American is tweaking look at her best games all against weak teams.. 23 games played she lead in scoring 10 times but lead in turnovers in every game get real.
Y'all make sure y'all rep my bruh Catllin Clark Catllin Clark Alan Cole only CC song live Atkins I voted you all Star boo Atkins luv sis great job Atkins youvi love cc always though clown coach sidesx
Reese can't make no more records CC today record Catlin Clark Catllin Clark 🤷🤷🤷💯 All good
Very sad, hope it doesn’t, but it could end up costing CC everything..if they don’t recover soon, like going in a loosing streak again..🤞🏻🤞🏻
Robin, I'm sorry, Smith is terrible!
Her coach sucks that's why the team loses
CC is going to double the total turnovers of the 2nd place player in turnovers for a season...
Down 21 to the Mystics at home. Great leadership on the floor Caitlin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Go watch Reese pull down some put back offensive board and her boring ass game dweeb. Sweet passing and 27ft 3’s while being face guarded >>>> some stuff that can’t put the ball on the floor or pass.
Wilson plays great offense and great defense. Please don't mention Caitlin in the same breath. Goofy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE MYSTIC WAS ABSENT 3 STARTERS, THEY ACTUALLY PLAYED THE BENCH PLAYERS SO DON'T GET SO EXCITED. CC HAD A GOOD GAME
CC is way overrated...
The history CC made was to let her team go down by 21 at home to the lowly Mystics. Great job Caitlin. God awful defense Caitlin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
3 blocks, 5 steals and put up an overall stat line that no woman has ever done. Sorry that you were born with fetal alcohol syndrome
Had 5 steals jackwad.
Both teams are 6 and 5 over the last eleven games
