Caitlin will make a lot of records next season, and there will be only one player in the league with a chance at breaking them...herself. Many of those records will be standing for at least five years, as there's no player coming up in college that will be able to match all of her skills. Some of them? Sure, but the complete package that she represents? Not even close.
Yep, every big time STAR player in the NBA/WNBA has always gotten a lot better in a few years after their rookie season. Now, I think CC is already at such a high level that I think it's hard to say she'll get a "lot" better, but I could see her averaging 25 and 10 assists for multiple seasons. We'll see, of course, but her TO's will come down a bit, assists are obviously going up..probably around 9.5 a game. It will be fun to watch!
She will get better but I don't think she'll become significantly better. She needs to improve her left handed play, and she can become more consistent on defense. And she needs to stop complaining as much (yeah I know the refs suck really bad). But my hope is that other players will rise to or close to her level. That's what will make the league better overall. There are players like Kahleah Copper, Kelsey Mitchell, Arike, Rikeah, Napheesa Collier, A'ja, and others, who are legitimately elite level but can get even better.
And if that doesn't "stick", they'll say she doesn't have enough 'clunk, clunjk, rebouds, clunks!! like angel reese... or enough broken nails.. I mean, 'damaged' wrists like reese, or she took too many rest days on vacation and that's not fair...
Apparently, they are very similar. 2 veri aggressive offensive teams. Put points on the board at will. But neither can stop the other . It was a good game. I like to watch Dallas, too.
@davidmathewson1088 , not really a fair comparison, injured with so few games left. I'm a C.C. fan but let's be the better people and wish Angel a full recovery. Remember, Karma is a BITCH.
Yeah... You're risking being offensive by defending yourself against offensive defenses that don't offende anyone... See what you did to me..?? Ouch! That is Offensive..!!
Brilliant as usual. Now I'm wondering if the commentary will be different during the playoffs. Fever haven't been in the playoffs for at least 8 years, so the next phase is a novelty. It could also be an opportunity to try new things (I wasn't talking about Fever but about you.) It's change from an immutable format. Change is always an opportunity.
At Iowa, CC didn't always bring the ball up the court. At Golden State, Steph Curry often doesn't bring the ball up the court. After giving up a score, it would be a great time to give CC a break and let someone else bring the ball up (of course, after a miss and defensive rebound, the outlet pass should always be to CC, so she can lead a fast break). They can then use screens to get her the ball so she can run the offense. It would be one way to diffuse the wear and tear on CC, given how hard she is guarded and how many minutes she plays.
Agree. In the Timberwolves series, Denver used a lot Jokic to bring the ball up court to release pressure for Jamal Murray. Murray was full court pressed and not be able to get away cleanly. It did help. Try Berger. Berger is a point guard. May be she is better than Wheeler and Wallace. You have not tried and you never know.
@@chopperlim2322 Try her out. She is on the roster and Fever pays her salary each month. What is the point of having a player that DNP every game? Just read her stat and she can offer something good. Her 3 point percentage: 40.0% 2024 season 44.3% career. She have not taken too many 3 point shots. However she does deliver when she has a open three chance. How about Katie Lou Samuelson stat for 3 point shots: 32.3% 2024 season 33.5% career? Why she is always DNP by coach decision?
Yes, thank you! Why the Fever don't run more plays for CC off ball is BEYOND ME. Even if she doesn't have the shot, damn near certain she'll find an open look. Keep the defense guessing. Of course she's great setting up plays but run more off ball sets for CC. I've been screaming this for months! :)
Very good comment. I do get tired when the coach has been criticised for taking CC out of the game - even when it is obvious she needs the rest. The people criticise Mitchell for not passing to CC ( a player that has made every WNBA player look slow) when often she does not seem to want it back - she seems to be taking an opportunity to rest. And even if Mitchell has a bad possession then at least she can wear the other team out as they chase her around.
Yeah. First step. New coach. The offense will be FINE. Their team defense is just abysmal to watch. It's almost all of them too, which is coaching, plain and simple. I'm fine with being in position and just getting beat or defending a nice shot, but the Fever give up so many wide open shots (and seemingly can't grab rebounds close to the hoop) that it must feel like practice for opposing teams.
The Fever players have been poorly coached. Their individual defense is horrible. They cannot grasp rebound because they do not box out. They have no idea how to defend a screen. They always over-help and leave wide open 3s. It is now near the end of the regular season and Fever has not yet showed any sign of improvement on their defense. Hire a good defense coach. Sides does not cut it.
The more you Press Clark, the More Juice She Puts Out...!!! It's called Excellence under pressure. Only a few Elite Athletes achieve that type and height of Plateau... Clark is One of them...
According to the rules you're correct, but when you're heavily favored by the refs, like the Aces, then you're wrong. The way to prevent Caitlin from succeeding is to break the rules against her and her teammates constantly throughout the game.
A.Thomas, is going to get that triple single you been mentioning, she is close right now. vs the aces She is trying so hard to keep that record 6 points 7 assists 5 boards
If my math is correct, CC is averaging8.4 apg and A. Thomas 7.9 apg. So, CC is averaging .5 assists per game over 39 games or has 19.5 assists more than A. Thomas. So, A. Thomas would have to average, 14.5+ (7.9 + 6.633) assists/per game over last three games, including tonight's game, to pass CC, if CC gets her average in her last game. PS: I'm a history, not Math, major.
@@raymondbenton5928 A. Thomas made 7 assists and CC 8 assists in tonight's game. She will not catch CC. Next game Sun will play Lynx. I do not think that Lynx will let A. Thomas to inflate her assist. It will be a tough game for the Sun and her teammates have no energy left to cater for A. Thomas' assist padding.
So tired of stat padders. Cc could have so many more records but was taken out unnecessarily when the game was not yet decided. She never complains and knows they will come in spite of sides and is not a stat l Padder. How degrading like when reese good at the line in her barbie outfit shooting ft at the end of the game. Shaq was even embarrassed and had to chose cc over reese after that.
The only defense that can beat Cc is the defense that the Las Vegas Dyks are allowed to play against CC. The Dyks are allowed to beat the crap out off CC and not get called for fouls. This is the only defense that can beat CC.
Since the play offs are just a couple days after the last game of the season i hope sides doesnt let the starters play to many minutes in the last game and gives them some rest.
Its like you said in a previous video Mick, you defend her by taking away her passing and make her a strict shooter and basically hope she misses (basically what LV did), but when she gets hot, then she's dropping 30 on you.
Not what the Aces did. They kept breaking the rules against her and her teammates and had the refs constantly help them in the process. That's how you win against Caitlin.
They have way better defenders. There are bigs on the Wings but they're scorers, not defenders. The bigs on the Aces are shot blockers and rebounders. Jackie Young, who guards Caitlin, is one of the best defenders in the league. Their back up guards are also good defenders. Plum mauls Kelsey Mitchell and Kelsey isn't that much taller than Plum so the Aces are a tough matchup.
Well the aces who have good defense players pressed her and she fell apart. The truth is the talent in WNBA is so thin she can look great feasting on all the terrible competition.

@@AltAccount-w3d that’s what I was thinking then the last game is home and pretty much blood is in the water. Plus, I just think the Fever at this point is a better team than the sun. I mean, I love Carrington, but CC does not. They do pretty good against each other.
Who is Rick Carlisle? If he's a coach he could be there as the eyes and ears of the owner, and by owner, I'm talking about Herb Simon's son who has taken over for his father.
What was the line on this game? I ask because the holding out Kelsey Mitchell for a long run seems really suspect to me. Point shaving scandal coming up!! Just kidding but it does seem really weird to hold KM out that long.
This is beyond hypothetical because no team has five 20-point players. To make it equivalent, you'd have to compare it to two 45-point players. I would choose the two players because it's very difficult to distribute the ball to all five players equally.
If Sun lose two and the Aces win two, Aces vs Fever in the playoffs. Do the Sun tank? Who do the Aces prefer to play Fever or Storm? Sun play Lynx and Sky Aces play Storm and Wings
If you score 110 points and win, does that mean you have a good defense? Maybe the gals are just getting better at shooting and scoring. They all seem to make their foul shots.
Remember. The FANS come to see CC play and not to sit out. They are also a big part of this team. Maybe they could get her to slow the game down a bit to reduce the risk of injury.
Credit to Caitlin, .. when she can make the other team make decisions, based off of her, in particular. And this kind of stuff takes energy, (people fouling out perhaps, if the officiating is level)
You should give Latricia Tramell some kudos. She lost post her parents in the past few months. One thing I’ll NEVER understand is how the Sky has been above the Wings in the stats this season. I’m a Fever fan, but I have much respect for the Wings. Can’t wait until we get our expansion team “ Golden State Valkyrie’s “. Needless to say when the Fever come to town ducats are going to be in the thousands of dollars. I have no idea who the owner is nor who the team is going to buy out from another team,and how the draft is going to work. This has been in the works for a while now ie. Before the Olympic break. As I live in San Francisco one thing I know is a certainty is money is not going to be an issue. Will be interesting to see the caps, and who the rookies are going to be in 2025. I think this team will be making headlines, as they will be playing at Chase ie. Warriors arena . The team will get a lot of hype. I’m certain of a couple of things. They will try to get an NBA coach, and if CC ever became available in the next say three or four years they - Elon - would invest a billion to get her … Great game today. CC & KM were on fire . Sheryl Swoops is at McDonald’s trying to drown her sorrows eating 22 Big Macs, and 22 orders of fries, flushed down with 22 large Cokes. Why would she be eating,and drinking twenty two of everything?
Dude, the game was 110-109. The Fever gave up 109 points at home to a shitty Dallas team. The Fever defense stinks, and nobody on the Fever can guard anybody.
Did she actually say that? If not, man you have to stop. You’re actually pretty good, objective and back up your opinions. But stuff like this will run non-fans away.
No she didn't say it. However they did press CC for pretty much all 35 minutes she was on the court. He just took some creative license with it. It's not a big deal.
Clark is responsible for 1368 points, and that's just based on each assist being two points. Calculate how many of those assists were 3-pointers and it'd be much more. Then factor in how many of her passes resulted in her teammates being sent to the free throw line.
Tell your players to watch 2024 women's NCAA championship, pay attention to Raven Johnson, that's how you defend CC. Too late for this year, but they need to prepare for next year. If they make the proper off season moves, they will be in the championship conversation.
The problem with this version is it assumes all of Clark's teammates are not very good. Teams have tried it this year, hand in her face, they get burned by Boston or Mitchell. They play her straight up and Clark burns you. It's not a strategy that works long term and requires the rest of the team to not be able to hit shots. You might be able to rely on that in college, in the WNBA it hasn't worked because Clark's teammates are not Iowa players but are professional players that are the best available WNBA players that the worst team in the league could have.
@@bkayser05 no one in the WNBA currently can effectively play defense on CC, yeah, I said it. Go back and look at the championship game last season, no one can match up with CC like that. Raven Johnson will be in the league next season. Some others will get their act together and rise to the occasion, also.
In the interest of full disclosure: Caitlin scored 30 points with 8 rebounds and 5 assists against Raven and South Carolina in the NCAA Championship Game.
@@prusso329 nope you're wrong, she torched everyone else, but not Raven, watch the game. Bree Hall tried to face guard her, got torched like most, but she went 5 of 15, got jacked for the ball 3 times, shot blocked twice when Raven was prime defender. Don't even try that with me. And she's still not a champion and won't be this year either.
Coach Sides has taken this team much farther than any of us expected but you guys still get butt hurt.Grow up. I think Coach Sides is doing a great job, with a very young team developing the chemistry and instilling her O. She has had a learning curve just like the players and appears to be growing and by extension her team is growing. I listened to her post game and she never said "they" but "we" didn't do this or that. She took responsibility just like CC did so you guys need to quit hating on her. Coach Sides is the reason they're in the playoffs, her and the players she coaches. People need to quit "reacting" emotionally and start thinking objectively about things. Put on your big boy pants.
Sides unfortunately doesn't know Xs&Os and her ability to see player chemistry is low. IMHO a professional coach should be able to do one and great coaches can do both.
Did you notice Diana Taurasi smacked the base of the basketball hoop tonight against the sky and no call from the refs.
DT is too big and scary looking. I'd be afraid to give her a "T"
Yes 😬😡
Gee, I wonder why?
Yes I saw that and no tech was called. Caith got 2 techs for that
Yeah, what's up with that !!!!
Reminds me of Larry Bird. He asked an opposing coach if they had anyone that could guard him. The coach looked at his players & replied "No" 😅
Think about it. This is the worst version of Clark we will ever see. When she hits her prime, the league will be REALLY a in trouble.
I think you may be correct. Look in college, her growth freshman to senior....Scary
We've seen her points and assists keep rising as time goes on. It's possible she will eventually become 30/12 per game consistently.
Caitlin will make a lot of records next season, and there will be only one player in the league with a chance at breaking them...herself.

I’m a Fever fan, but I have much respect for the Wings. Can’t wait until we get our expansion team “ Golden State Valkyrie’s “. Needless to say when the Fever come to town ducats are going to be in the thousands of dollars. I have no idea who the owner is nor who the team is going to buy out from another team,and how the draft is going to work. This has been in the works for a while now ie. Before the Olympic break.
As I live in San Francisco one thing I know is a certainty is money is not going to be an issue. Will be interesting to see the caps, and who the rookies are going to be in 2025. I think this team will be making headlines, as they will be playing at Chase ie. Warriors arena . The team will get a lot of hype. I’m certain of a couple of things. They will try to get an NBA coach, and if CC ever became available in the next say three or four years they - Elon - would invest a billion to get her …
Great game today. CC & KM were on fire .
Sheryl Swoops is at McDonald’s trying to drown her sorrows eating 22 Big Macs, and 22 orders of fries, flushed down with 22 large Cokes. Why would she be eating,and drinking twenty two of everything?
AGAIN, REPEATING YOURSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. You’re Padding out the length of your podcast worse than Angel Reece padding her stats.
Dude, the game was 110-109. The Fever gave up 109 points at home to a shitty Dallas team. The Fever defense stinks, and nobody on the Fever can guard anybody.
Lexie plays great defense, but she's the only one on the team who does.
So? Why were you watching?, watch other games, don't watch any Fever games because as you say,the fever defense stinks😂😂😂
Did she actually say that? If not, man you have to stop. You’re actually pretty good, objective and back up your opinions. But stuff like this will run non-fans away.
He's sux.. and he's extremely toxic.
She didn’t say that… he just makes shit up
No she didn't say it. However they did press CC for pretty much all 35 minutes she was on the court. He just took some creative license with it. It's not a big deal.
@@BraydenRoth-tl8hm totally agree...this guy thought AR should get ROY votes from CC.
Mick is drunk again 😂
He don't drink.
Has.to take.blood.thinners.
Has it been verified that Mccowan is a
Defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys
Mccowan used to play for the fever.
But Sides is a 'defensive guru' as a coach!!
@shoofly529; -----she certainly has a problem trying to keep up with the attack.
yes, if you mean 'defensive' as slowing down her own team
You lied about the coach saying what you claim she said. Do Better.
Who cares Aja just scored 1000 points this season
Most people care, CC is in her first year in case you missed it. She already broke the all time assist record and the rookie points record.
Not me, she is fed.the ball.And gets to.walk.all.she wants.
We all see the favoritism.
Clark is responsible for 1368 points, and that's just based on each assist being two points. Calculate how many of those assists were 3-pointers and it'd be much more. Then factor in how many of her passes resulted in her teammates being sent to the free throw line.
@@clarkkent1521 bro wtf that got to do with Aja scoring 1,000 points in a single season you Clark stans are crazy
'Wings'
Seriously?
That's what you get for having a team named after the flaps on a sanitary pad.
Tell your players to watch 2024 women's NCAA championship, pay attention to Raven Johnson, that's how you defend CC. Too late for this year, but they need to prepare for next year. If they make the proper off season moves, they will be in the championship conversation.
The problem with this version is it assumes all of Clark's teammates are not very good. Teams have tried it this year, hand in her face, they get burned by Boston or Mitchell. They play her straight up and Clark burns you. It's not a strategy that works long term and requires the rest of the team to not be able to hit shots. You might be able to rely on that in college, in the WNBA it hasn't worked because Clark's teammates are not Iowa players but are professional players that are the best available WNBA players that the worst team in the league could have.
@@bkayser05 no one in the WNBA currently can effectively play defense on CC, yeah, I said it. Go back and look at the championship game last season, no one can match up with CC like that. Raven Johnson will be in the league next season. Some others will get their act together and rise to the occasion, also.
In the interest of full disclosure: Caitlin scored 30 points with 8 rebounds and 5 assists against Raven and South Carolina in the NCAA Championship Game.
@@prusso329 nope you're wrong, she torched everyone else, but not Raven, watch the game. Bree Hall tried to face guard her, got torched like most, but she went 5 of 15, got jacked for the ball 3 times, shot blocked twice when Raven was prime defender. Don't even try that with me. And she's still not a champion and won't be this year either.
Coach Sides has taken this team much farther than any of us expected but you guys still get butt hurt.Grow up.
I think Coach Sides is doing a great job, with a very young team developing the chemistry and instilling her O. She has had a learning curve just like the players and appears to be growing and by extension her team is growing. I listened to her post game and she never said "they" but "we" didn't do this or that. She took responsibility just like CC did so you guys need to quit hating on her. Coach Sides is the reason they're in the playoffs, her and the players she coaches. People need to quit "reacting" emotionally and start thinking objectively about things. Put on your big boy pants.
CCs fanbase is slowing turning into Lebron's lmao 😂😂😂
Sides is terrible I don't know where you think she's done well but she's not good certain days she's not even passable
@@thomasshehan6453 your a troll Tom arse.
Sides is doing a good job. But we all know someone else would be doing a great job. Fever could be at 23+ wins right now with a more competent coach.
Sides unfortunately doesn't know Xs&Os and her ability to see player chemistry is low. IMHO a professional coach should be able to do one and great coaches can do both.
THIS TEAM IS 9-30 THE WORST...NO DEFENSE AND THE FEVER BEAT THEM BY 1POINT...FEVER BETTER GET IT TOGETHER IF THEY GONNA WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS
