It was big of Caitlin to shoulder the loss, but in no way was it her fault. Observation 1) the Lynx had 25 free throws to the Fever’s 13. That’s a hard stat to beat. Observation 2) difference in between the 2 benches was significant. The Lynx got great bench production and the Fever did not. It was quite glaring. Observation 3) when they came out flat in the second half and the Lynx had that atrocious run, a timeout needed to be taken early on to stop the bleeding. Observation 4) the Lynx are really well coached with a very deep bench.

Fully agree. CC should NOT have to carry the team. As great as she's playing she's still a rookie. I'm seeing the pressure on her to guarantee wins like A'ja Wilson is having with the Aces. The difference is A'ja is a great, experienced player surrounded by better talent, and they're "still" struggling to win. People need to give CC a frickin' break.
I agree, but this is basketball. This woman knows basketball, she's been playing basketball all her life. She's tough, allow her to get criticized. The team needs a better defense scheme
It's a learning xp the Fever will have to adjust their game. They must not give the refs a chance to affect the game. The Lynx played well but for me this game was decided on the free throw line.
She showed once again why she is already the leader of the team. She took responsibility when it clearly was terrible outside shooting and loose defense that lost this game. It isn't impossible for them to beat the Lynx in a series. It was only 1 game.
Ok let's just ALL IGNORE Sides GREAT decision to put in Nalysah and Katy Lou RIGHT after we bring it back from down 14 to down 1 ..... THANK YOU SIDES!!! YOUR AWESOME COACHING F&KS US OVER AGAIN !!! ZERO reason to put those 2 in and fuk up the whole groove 🤦🤡
Katie Lou is just washed. Where did her shot go? She barely hits the rim on open 3's now? It's so weird. She's slow, can't shoot and has no offensive game at all. It was a rough game all in all, though. Their defense was terrible for most of the game and they had a lot of offensive sets that were frustrating to watch. Again, the Lynx are a great defensive team but this is one to learn from for sure.
@jjparks9263 Sides had to really look at the game tapes, figure out how CCs team wins and where to big leads go and how we lose games. Until Sides can adjust and close out games the Fever will never go anywhere.
AGREED! She has absolutely no idea how to make in game adjustments or even half-time adjustments for that matter. How she ever got a reputation as a "defensive specialist" coach is beyond me. She makes terrible decisions and our defense is awful.
At least she taking accountability, if not then it would be a problem cause she wouldn’t think she has anything to fix. Looks like she knows what exactly she needs to work on. And everyone has pointed out how they have no real defense, like everyone has been pointing that out!
Fever swept Phoenix, Mick. Fever came back with Clark, Mitchell, Boston, Hull, and Temi. As soon as Hull was pulled with 5 fouls, the run was over. Katie Lou finally hit a three and then immediately got badly beat in the paint. The officiating was horrible… the Lynx didn’t get called for a single foul in the 3rd quarter. Boston was getting constantly fouled on her drives and layups, and that play on Caitlin that took her to the ground couldn’t have been a more obvious foul to her arm. So much for Clark’s “special whistle”… more like a dog whistle… silent.
I thought the under the hoop ref (the woman to be clear...nothing against her) I thought was HORRIBLE tonight. And then some bad decisions by CC late in the game was clearly a factor. But probably more than anything, their defense was #@!!. Just terrible defense. Sides needs to own that...she's a defensive coach after all. The Fever missed plenty of shots they should have made. Smith was 1-7 and that won't happen again. They left the BEST shooters for the Lynx wide open over and over.
Stop whining about calls and just play through it and play some defense. She is the leader so everyone will follow her lead in these tough games if she sets the right example.
We can't leave it up to the refs. That's a cop out. The Fever has not been playing good basketball. They've been winning against non offensive teams. They won't play defense.
Clark graciously took the blame for something that was NOT her fault. The Fever lost because of awful officiating, terrible rotations by Sides, and bad perimeter defense.
As you mentioned the Fever perimeter defense is lacking, but to the Lynx credit they were not missing in the 2nd half, their 3 point shooting was insane in the 2nd half.
I disagree. No one can play 100% of the time. Coach sides needs to take a good part of the blame. Stupid rotation, no timeouts during opponent's long runs? Coach needs to a defense specialist coach in the coaching staff.
The Lynx are just too deep for this Fever team. Hopefully don’t play them in the first round. Fever have only 6 competent players. Need to retool around them during the off-season.
shorten the rotation. players cant gt after the refs like they do when they have play with fouls. km cc ab LH have to play with fouls. temi is a solid bench player. smith is on and off. when its off really only temi should come off the bench. vs good teams KS and Dantis are such great defensive risks everywhere on the court.
Kind of a tough deal regardless, there are three teams that are pretty good and the Aces seem to be finding themselves again for the fourth team add to that the two games at home format for the first four teams and there are no easy roads into the 2nd round. Considering the playoffs are 2/3 of all the team, really just eliminating a few of the laggards, and the 2nd round is the truer "playoffs"
@@womenandsonDadagreed. I don’t think CC likes when Dantis comes in because the offense slows down. Clark wants to run. This team is at its best when it scores near 100 pts a game. 8:24
@@womenandsonDad I think her strategy lapses allow for that to happen. If there are some players on that bench who thrive in uptempo, quit playing politics and put them in the rotation. Clark jokes all the time “ I love to run, I run in the living room at home” Sides stop slowing them down
The refs were horrible. 25 foul shots to the Fevers 13 foul shots. Boston was getting hacked the whole game. Their not deep on the bench. Smith playing 23 minutes and only scoring 2 points for a starter didn't help either
Wow! Sounds like you are done with the Fever! I guess you can stop putting down payments on houses now. To say that Caitlin actually gave the ball to the other team intentionally sounds like something Swoopes would say. Very disappointed on you! Even legends have bad games every now and then.
You are right that they are not well coached as a team for defense, but your take on the Fever defense is exaggerated. The Fever do play defense, but they have too many players who are weak defenders individually, and they don’t play defense well enough as a team to compensate for that. Perimeter defense is especially poor, but the bigger problem may be that they don’t seem to be communicating with one another. Saying repeatedly that they don’t play defense at all is just lazy analysis. Further, Caitlin Clark can be hard on herself for that one turnover, but it was bad coaching that got them into the situation where that play was so critical.
To be fair Kelsey should be taking some of that blame, I mean you can see it with her head in hands, she’s great but this was a rough game all around, you can’t have one player take all the blame for one turnover and say they lost the whole game because of that, don’t get me wrong this loss was a team effort lol
@@Jokah227jish playoffs expose all flaws you have a series where many adjustments are made although the fever has been winning lately they only have one winning formula and that is their peace and making cuts to the basket when the paint is clogged and the passing lanes are being played they are forced to slow it down which is their weakness
Pure Class. Lynx defense was suffocating but still CC scored. It was Fever's perimeter defense that killed them and lynx took it and shoot threes at the right time.
Sides needs to stand up and fight for her players. Argue some calls, show some damn emotion. She stands there like a deer in headlights and scared to challenge anything. Clark shouldn’t have to be the one arguing calls every time. Sides gameplan sucks, the least she can do is show a little bit of emotion to show her players that she has their back. Come On!!!
I think Sides is one of those coaches who doesn’t actually see, have vision, cognitively process the game in real time. I know that sounds strange but some coaches actually say, we will look at video and see what happened and what adjustments we need to make. I am sure you have heard players say the game has slowed down for me and I am more efficient. The game hasn’t actually slowed down but their ability to see and respond accordingly has maximized. I don’t think as a coach the game has slowed down for Sides, her demeanor gives her away, not calm, not deliberate, not processing in real time. I don’t think that is something you can learn, I think it’s innate. I think that is why she never uses her challenges, because she doesn’t see in real time to challenge. The only time she complains about a call is if AB gets upset, tell me I am wrong.
@@jjparks9263 How you going to tell me what I think, I said what I said. I have been watching this team all season and I played and coached basketball my whole life. This game was mismanaged, not just this game, but let’s talk about this one. I could break it down because I do see some issues but that wouldn’t be productive. I will say that this game will be defining, it’s up to them if it will break them or refine them.
Was this the play where CC tried to do the spinning bounce pass to Temi? If so, as soon as I saw it was Temi running tht court, so assumed she wouldn’t be able to handle the pass. For a player who was the only one who had a connection with Caitlin earlier in the year, she has come back from injury with her hand clearly not 100% - or anywhere close!
This team needs role player depth for some defense. 3 wasted roster spots. Berger, saxton, and wallace never ever play. When our players get gassed. You put in Katie lou on defense??? Shes a training aid, a cardboard cutout would be better
Sorry to disagree with CC but she played pretty good apart from a couple of turnovers ( passes that weren't there ) . But when CC blocked & stole the ball then got to the 3 line all alone she should have taken the shot as Temi was inside the top of the paint running towards the basket , bet Side's was telling her to play inside the paint , SOMETIMES you just got to read the situation & IGNORE the COACH ! Bet Mitchell won't blame herself for hero ball 5 times that led to nothing & could've been converted points ! Or Smith missing with Bricks , sometimes she's there & then goes missing wtf . The rest of the BENCH needs their A$$ kicked , no defensive urgency they all want to play offence .
It was a hard loss injecting some reality in the Fever's Cinderella year. But the Lynx are an experienced, mature team. This is the flip side of glory. Get some sleep - and perspective.
It was not her fault. Caitlin, Kelsey and Boston got 20 points or more each. It was the coach's fault as usual. Smith and Samuelson should have never been out there on the court whatsoever . The coach changed the lineup, which is the reason they lost. She does not stick to what is working.
True but 1) the fever bench is awful and they need some run before the playoffs 2) they don’t need to show their entire hand before the playoffs… I don’t hate this loss tbh they will learn a ton from this game
@@goldteethpoohproductions2707 absolutely... never calls a times out.. never settle her team down... never makes an adjustment..😅 she's garbage juice bro
This loss was on the players they got out please the game plan was as usual. This teams runs just like the fever they clog up the paint and play the passing lanes which are all of the fever's strong points
Respect fully, the Fever players outside of Clark need to understand their roles. Talent-wise, they’re average. Clark elevates each and every one of them. But when they go off script, do their own thing, this goes sideways. Clark is a modern-day Larry Bird. Her IQ is off the charts.
@@Stoicism-j29 OK WE ACCEPT LARRY BIRD BUT YOU PEOPLE HAVE GONE BEYOND LARRY BIRD SHE HAS BECOME YOUR GOD. YOU FANS ARE OBSESSED TROUBLEMAKERS. REPENT GOD IS COMING.😔👍😔
She had a terrible turnover late in the 4th quarter when the Fever were down 1 that was a killer. Caitlin can get away with the turnovers against weak teams but against a strong team like the Lynx, it will kill you turning it over.
She even takes a loss on herself like Tom Brady. In fact, can any pinpoint exactly what Tom Brady was up to around 22 years ago, nine months before the day Caitlin was born?????? 🤔
It was a great effort by a young team! Mick is great, but here he's a bit off the mark. The issue is - we don't have good defensive oriented players or coaches who can teach defense. Those are management decisions that hopefully can be fixed fixed in the off season. We've known all season we were short a player or two and the coach was not great at defense. Caitlin can coach the offense. But everybody needs a defensive coach to take it to the next level. So don't blame players for management issues. They can get better.
It was 100% Mitchels fault, the run lynx had was because she tried to iso and wouldnt pass and kept turning it over. Stick to what fuckin works and wait for the setups. When she does that, and wheeler they make the team stagnant
Meh. I think she does fine on defense. Additionally, how many quick transition scores has she gotten because she outran the other team and took a long pass from CC?
@@calaragazza3556 She's not as good as CC, but she's really good. KM seems that she's working on her passing this season (not that it was bad). I've seen her make a number of passes in recent games that are similar to Clark's style.
But more than CC's fault, this is on Coach Sides. CC can't think of everything. Ideas need to come from coaches. And, by the way, again, that amazingly depressing de-motivating speech at halftime worked again! 🤪
I disagree. Them losing to Lynx is destiny because if they beat them in playoffs then they will beat whoever else. This loss needed to happen now so they can solve this puzzle before then. It’s meant to be, championship in bound!
Fever players, all except Hulls, are constantly help out down low leaving shooters wide open. Fever players also don't know how to block out and lose players they should be defending.
I disagree. The Fever have such a narrow margin for error. They can’t afford Mitchell to dribble around in ISO and take step back 20 footers with a hand in her face. There is a budget for the errors that are permitted. CC should be the lion’s share of those errors because everything else she does just makes everyone so much better. Every possession which CC doesn’t initiate the offense looks ugly.
The issue on defense is they are double teaming too much. Best teams in the league have one on one defensively for the most part. As soon as you are double teaming on defense leaves open shot threes and with NY, CS, and ML that's dangerous. I think in double teaming defensively the that much tells you Indiana is not top three at this point. It shows Sides and the staff dont trust their perimeter defense players against top tier. They need yo work on that asap on the defensive side of things if they hope to go far in the playoffs.
Mick....CC now has a better FG% and 3P% than both Sabrina and Arike. CC is on pace to break the most 3P made in a season. Arike could also break it. She's only 6 3P made behind Caitlin but has 2 fewer games. Content for your next vid bro. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching you from Charlotte, NC
Clark wants to be a elite player and the only flaw she has is she turns the ball over to much she needs to stay focused more on shooting the ball when the pass is not going to get to your teammate
@@jshowy7053she is 25th in the league in defensive rating and has the most blocks and steals of all rookies… her plus minus is almost on par with Reese’s too if people look at that. She is not elite but she is actually better than given credit for.
If the Fever want to go far in the playoffs then Sides must bench Samuelson and Smith. And implement more effective defensive strategies to help the team improve their defense especially on the perimeter.
She can take responsibility, that’s what leaders do, but one play never costs a game. Kelsey was back to hero ball, and that hurt. But without her in THAT game they lose by 30.
Out of every team going to the playoffs the Lynx is the worse possible matchup for them, not only can they score with Indiana but they way better defensively than they are
Caitlin Clark is eerily similar to Lebron James in one respect. When interviewed post-game about a particular play at some point in the game, they have perfect recall of the situation at that time and what was happening all over the floor! Unbelievable. Basketball is chess to some people, but to these two, it's checkers. Too easy!
Caitlyn is NOT playing defense, I'm sorry. She is not going in there with a "I'M GONNA LOCK THIS PERSON DOWN ATTITUDE." She's like a Tony Parker more of a shooter. Steph Curry will play defense, is he great? No but he shows up. Caitlyn has to show up, she's gotta get on the gym and get used to geing banged up and still performing on offense. I've seen people just cook her. She looks like she's slowing down.
A good offensive team, when matched against a similar opposing, will expose the short comings in their defense. The transitions for Indy 2nite were horrible. CC should've worked on her 3 early. Christy Sides has no defensive strategies. This game was a match of coaches' capacities.
Really bad defense, a few really bad possessions by CC and just bad coaching (back to the defense). Yes, the Lynx are a defensive nightmare against the Fever and they are much deeper team (Katie Lou and Temi were just....BAD, again) which over the course of 4 quarters is hard to over come. But the Lynx had WIDE OPEN 3's with their best shooters over and over and over. That's on Sides, period.
I hope this loss makes team mates like Nalyssa, Dantas, and yes, even Temi take responsibility and step up. CC, a rookie took one (the blame) for the team.
See this is what seperates good coaches from bad coaches. Sides is clueless when her teams in trouble. Cc and KM have to carry the team on their back when they are struggling..sides doesnt make adjustments so the team can avoid turnovers and have bad defense
CC 7 turn overs ! She is still awesome but mental brake down! She is 22 really think they can still beat the lynx if there at top of there game ! Go FEVER 🌎 champs !!
im Just happy to hear someone say they have bad defense. The help defense is either not paying attention or just slow to get there. when they do get there on time the one who came to help is slow to get back to there original player or they do a really slow switch or no switch what so ever and they just leave the other person wide open. The other issue i see a lot is that they just let there hands drop to there waist and dont keep there hands up. My guess is this is do to them being tired because of the play style they do. You have to keep them hands up and in them passing lanes. it just seems like bad defense more times than not. I also believe the turnovers are killers too and im not just talking about CC. As a team its rough. Either way they have had a good season this year and these problems arent anything they cant fix.
One play will loose you a game if your under a minute and a one point game. The first three plays after halftime is where they lost the game. Trying to force the ball inside when your center is doubled or tripled team it’s on the coach. Fever bench is part of the problem.
Fever coach is the biggest problem. She has a habit of shooting the team in the foot when they get something going by calling stupid plays. She needs to go.
I know shes a very talented rookie however the entire game should not depend on her playing a perfect game every time. She sort of has a Peyton Manning mentality for Basketball brilliant play but with high risk and I mean for that kind of person they need a great defensive presence somewhere. They need an all star power forward defender interior ball handler.
3rd quarter was the first time I have seen Caitlin get tilted. She recovered, but she had a few possessions where she seemed pouty and checked-out. She can't do that.
This is what the GOATS (greats) do. They take responsibility, pick themselves up, and grow from every setback. This is from someone that dropped 25/8/8 on the 2nd best team in the league 🔥🔥🔥
It didnt help instead of setting up offensive plays, Kelsey Mitchells shot selection was terrible. After a turnover she would just chuck up a 3. Move the ball, drive the lane, get to the FT line.
Stop saying they play no defense, maybe not the greatest defense, maybe not good defense, but stop saying no defense. That’s ridiculous, and completely disrespectful, I do understand good defense so I know it’s not their strength but just stop saying no defense, I am over you being that disrespectful .
Sides sucks!!!!!!! She let yhe lynx go on a crazy run and didnt call a TO to slow the momentum. Sides is a clown. Coach of the month? Lmfao give me a break.
Good commentary. The Fever are a young team. Not taking anything away from how wonderfully they play, but they still need a lot of defense practice. Lately, their scoring and their fearless running doesn’t overcome there defensive weakness. They’re still a year or two away from a great team in all phases of the game.
CC made a poor decision in wanting to make the pass, when the lay up was by far the most obvious choice of making the two points … she was wide open and so obvious about the choice she should have made … these are the mistakes you have to learn from and not repeat. The Fever are at their best when they move at pace move the ball around so the wide players get the looks for shots that look like a training session!
She is only 22 and still learning. and she's learning so fast.. she's doing mistakes, and owns it. she will try to not repeat them, all we can ask for. even at a loss she does 25-8-8
Yes take responsibility for bad defense if the defense improves the permanent perimeter defense they can do very well going forward and practice before the playoffs begin

So much for Clark’s “special whistle”… more like a dog whistle… silent.
Dog whistle, 😁
That’s another thing…Win or lose…Good, bad, or ugly…She addresses the media!
Hull was playing awesome defense the whole time that she was playing .
Maybe if the refs weren't making bad calls, she wouldn't be so frustrated! They made some crap calls tonight. For. Sure.
I thought the under the hoop ref (the woman to be clear...nothing against her) I thought was HORRIBLE tonight. And then some bad decisions by CC late in the game was clearly a factor. But probably more than anything, their defense was #@!!. Just terrible defense. Sides needs to own that...she's a defensive coach after all. The Fever missed plenty of shots they should have made. Smith was 1-7 and that won't happen again. They left the BEST shooters for the Lynx wide open over and over.
Fuck that shit ref or not lynx had a better team and fever would have lost no matter what
Stop whining about calls and just play through it and play some defense. She is the leader so everyone will follow her lead in these tough games if she sets the right example.
We can't leave it up to the refs. That's a cop out. The Fever has not been playing good basketball. They've been winning against non offensive teams. They won't play defense.
@@pgppe9488did you say the same thing when A’ja Wilson blamed the refs?
wow a player actually taking responsibility for an error, how refreshing.
Man you can see the drop off with the Fever's bench vs the Lynx. Lynx bench played fantastic.
Clark graciously took the blame for something that was NOT her fault. The Fever lost because of awful officiating, terrible rotations by Sides, and bad perimeter defense.
@@erikkdane8485 SHE IS FAKE. SO SAD😞
when CC22 talks about her turnover, that's the part where the player sitting next to her says "no, it wasn't just one play that cost us the game..."
U mean KM? Because cc is still a kid , she isn't experienced so she is emotional about her few TO. KM understand that team is horrible
WNBA refs have been terrible this season. I find myself getting frustrated by officiating game after game
As you mentioned the Fever perimeter defense is lacking, but to the Lynx credit they were not missing in the 2nd half, their 3 point shooting was insane in the 2nd half.
I disagree. No one can play 100% of the time. Coach sides needs to take a good part of the blame. Stupid rotation, no timeouts during opponent's long runs? Coach needs to a defense specialist coach in the coaching staff.
The fired the President so fortunately Sides' days are numbered
The Lynx are just too deep for this Fever team. Hopefully don’t play them in the first round. Fever have only 6 competent players. Need to retool around them during the off-season.
shorten the rotation. players cant gt after the refs like they do when they have play with fouls. km cc ab LH have to play with fouls. temi is a solid bench player. smith is on and off. when its off really only temi should come off the bench. vs good teams KS and Dantis are such great defensive risks everywhere on the court.
Kind of a tough deal regardless, there are three teams that are pretty good and the Aces seem to be finding themselves again for the fourth team add to that the two games at home format for the first four teams and there are no easy roads into the 2nd round. Considering the playoffs are 2/3 of all the team, really just eliminating a few of the laggards, and the 2nd round is the truer "playoffs"
@@womenandsonDadagreed. I don’t think CC likes when Dantis comes in because the offense slows down. Clark wants to run.
This team is at its best when it scores near 100 pts a game. 8:24
@@lookupone sides wants to coach slow. only explanation for extended minutes for the slow horses that dont score or play def
@@womenandsonDad I think her strategy lapses allow for that to happen. If there are some players on that bench who thrive in uptempo, quit playing politics and put them in the rotation.
Clark jokes all the time “ I love to run, I run in the living room at home”
Sides stop slowing them down
Maybe the coach can learn to take accountability from her rookie
That's what happens when your coach tells you to pass first, but your instinct is to shoot, you hesitate🤔
Mike, Fever had a sweep against the Phoenix Mercury! They are not without a sweep this year.
The refs were horrible. 25 foul shots to the Fevers 13 foul shots. Boston was getting hacked the whole game. Their not deep on the bench. Smith playing 23 minutes and only scoring 2 points for a starter didn't help either
1 for 7 she was..I agree ..she had a bad night
Wow! Sounds like you are done with the Fever! I guess you can stop putting down payments on houses now. To say that Caitlin actually gave the ball to the other team intentionally sounds like something Swoopes would say. Very disappointed on you! Even legends have bad games every now and then.
🍼
You are right that they are not well coached as a team for defense, but your take on the Fever defense is exaggerated. The Fever do play defense, but they have too many players who are weak defenders individually, and they don’t play defense well enough as a team to compensate for that. Perimeter defense is especially poor, but the bigger problem may be that they don’t seem to be communicating with one another. Saying repeatedly that they don’t play defense at all is just lazy analysis. Further, Caitlin Clark can be hard on herself for that one turnover, but it was bad coaching that got them into the situation where that play was so critical.
To be fair Kelsey should be taking some of that blame, I mean you can see it with her head in hands, she’s great but this was a rough game all around, you can’t have one player take all the blame for one turnover and say they lost the whole game because of that, don’t get me wrong this loss was a team effort lol
Kelsey is a better player than CC. This loss was on Caitlin. She’s the turnover queen.
Mitchell also had a couple bad turnovers, and a couple shots that were AS BAD AS turnovers.
Caitlin had 7 bad turnovers
@@hottrakz Some were bad, but a few were teammates fumbling easy passes.
@@hottrakz no like 2 were bad at least 5 of those 7 were her teammates not paying attention and missing a pass that would have been an easy bucket .
When they're losing those shots look a bit worse than they do when they're winning.

Pure Class. Lynx defense was suffocating but still CC scored. It was Fever's perimeter defense that killed them and lynx took it and shoot threes at the right time.
7 game win streak and now we’re back to blaming Sides, refs, what-tf- ever…
When you play good teams you can’t have Smith and Katie Lou in the 4th quarter
Exactly!!!

@@vondaphillips Sides is actually clueless
@@Idklemmesee she's trash
Half court Sides will sink the Fever. Broken Clock Sides has learned nothing. Sides still sucks! Refuses to take any responsibility..
Sides needs to stand up and fight for her players. Argue some calls, show some damn emotion. She stands there like a deer in headlights and scared to challenge anything. Clark shouldn’t have to be the one arguing calls every time. Sides gameplan sucks, the least she can do is show a little bit of emotion to show her players that she has their back. Come On!!!
I think Sides is one of those coaches who doesn’t actually see, have vision, cognitively process the game in real time. I know that sounds strange but some coaches actually say, we will look at video and see what happened and what adjustments we need to make. I am sure you have heard players say the game has slowed down for me and I am more efficient. The game hasn’t actually slowed down but their ability to see and respond accordingly has maximized. I don’t think as a coach the game has slowed down for Sides, her demeanor gives her away, not calm, not deliberate, not processing in real time. I don’t think that is something you can learn, I think it’s innate. I think that is why she never uses her challenges, because she doesn’t see in real time to challenge. The only time she complains about a call is if AB gets upset, tell me I am wrong.

How you going to tell me what I think, I said what I said. I have been watching this team all season and I played and coached basketball my whole life. This game was mismanaged, not just this game, but let’s talk about this one. I could break it down because I do see some issues but that wouldn’t be productive. I will say that this game will be defining, it’s up to them if it will break them or refine them.
Worst called game I’ve ever seen as a fan of basketball of 30 plus years.
It was the Coach's Fault. She brought in the 2 worst players when they were ahead by a point. She has to go.
It’s Caitlin’s fault. She’s the turnover queen
Was this the play where CC tried to do the spinning bounce pass to Temi? If so, as soon as I saw it was Temi running tht court, so assumed she wouldn’t be able to handle the pass. For a player who was the only one who had a connection with Caitlin earlier in the year, she has come back from injury with her hand clearly not 100% - or anywhere close!
She's still hurt 😔
Even though we could all see it was the referees. I mean they had 25 free throws to the fever 13 that’s ridiculous.
Sometimes she too unselfish.
This team needs role player depth for some defense. 3 wasted roster spots. Berger, saxton, and wallace never ever play. When our players get gassed. You put in Katie lou on defense??? Shes a training aid, a cardboard cutout would be better
Sorry to disagree with CC but she played pretty good apart from a couple of turnovers ( passes that weren't there ) .
But when CC blocked & stole the ball then got to the 3 line all alone she should have taken the shot as Temi was inside the top of the paint running towards the basket , bet Side's was telling her to play inside the paint , SOMETIMES you just got to read the situation & IGNORE the COACH !
Bet Mitchell won't blame herself for hero ball 5 times that led to nothing & could've been converted points !
Or Smith missing with Bricks , sometimes she's there & then goes missing wtf .
The rest of the BENCH needs their A$$ kicked , no defensive urgency they all want to play offence .
It was a hard loss injecting some reality in the Fever's Cinderella year. But the Lynx are an experienced, mature team. This is the flip side of glory. Get some sleep - and perspective.
Yup they needed a crash look at them in the interview.

Just think how good the fever would be if the referees weren’t the best player on every team they play. The WNBA is a certified joke
But tonight lynx would have beat them in any circumstances
It was not her fault. Caitlin, Kelsey and Boston got 20 points or more each. It was the coach's fault as usual. Smith and Samuelson should have never been out there on the court whatsoever . The coach changed the lineup, which is the reason they lost. She does not stick to what is working.
If you want to run, you have to rotate players. They need a better 4 and wing that plays solid defense to rotate with mitchell and lexi.
True but 1) the fever bench is awful and they need some run before the playoffs 2) they don’t need to show their entire hand before the playoffs… I don’t hate this loss tbh they will learn a ton from this game

Respect fully, the Fever players outside of Clark need to understand their roles. Talent-wise, they’re average. Clark elevates each and every one of them. But when they go off script, do their own thing, this goes sideways. Clark is a modern-day Larry Bird. Her IQ is off the charts.
You might as well include to coach in that.
@@Stoicism-j29 OK WE ACCEPT LARRY BIRD BUT YOU PEOPLE HAVE GONE BEYOND LARRY BIRD SHE HAS BECOME YOUR GOD. YOU FANS ARE OBSESSED TROUBLEMAKERS. REPENT GOD IS COMING.😔👍😔
She had a terrible turnover late in the 4th quarter when the Fever were down 1 that was a killer. Caitlin can get away with the turnovers against weak teams but against a strong team like the Lynx, it will kill you turning it over.
And you do not think that this is a problem, that a team lives or dies by their 22 year old rookie making one mistake or not?
What assistant coach is responsible for defense? Ultimately, it is the head coach's responsibility.
Many teams have the assistant coach looking after the defence. Head coach does not coach both sides of the ball.
She even takes a loss on herself like Tom Brady. In fact, can any pinpoint exactly what Tom Brady was up to around 22 years ago, nine months before the day Caitlin was born?????? 🤔
Sides substituting sucked ! Katie Lou really ? She couldn't hit water if she fell out of a boat, she's slow and defending was bad !
It was a great effort by a young team! Mick is great, but here he's a bit off the mark. The issue is - we don't have good defensive oriented players or coaches who can teach defense. Those are management decisions that hopefully can be fixed fixed in the off season. We've known all season we were short a player or two and the coach was not great at defense. Caitlin can coach the offense. But everybody needs a defensive coach to take it to the next level. So don't blame players for management issues. They can get better.
It was 100% Mitchels fault, the run lynx had was because she tried to iso and wouldnt pass and kept turning it over. Stick to what fuckin works and wait for the setups. When she does that, and wheeler they make the team stagnant
Mitchell deserves blame too. She is the seasoned veteran, but can't rebound or play defense.
You wasn't crying when she was women y'all the last seven games the fourth quarters you have to take the good with the bad
Meh. I think she does fine on defense. Additionally, how many quick transition scores has she gotten because she outran the other team and took a long pass from CC?
@@hottrakzall she adds is 3 pointers. no rebounds, no assists.
No she’s a better player than CC
@@calaragazza3556 She's not as good as CC, but she's really good. KM seems that she's working on her passing this season (not that it was bad). I've seen her make a number of passes in recent games that are similar to Clark's style.
It was the lineup that the coach had in
And no timeouts. Blaming Clark w a 25 pt triple doubke and 5/10 Threes is a bad take.
Mick acting like mvp candidate means something , she’s a rookie chill
I love Caitlin Clark ! I started watching CC in her junior season at Iowa. Just an awesome person ! I watch women’s basketball because of her.
But more than CC's fault, this is on Coach Sides. CC can't think of everything. Ideas need to come from coaches. And, by the way, again, that amazingly depressing de-motivating speech at halftime worked again! 🤪
@@espinosalexis YOU HYPOCRITES ONE DAY LIKE COACH AND ANOTHER HATE THE COACH ON YOUR OWN TEAM 😢 SAD
I disagree. Them losing to Lynx is destiny because if they beat them in playoffs then they will beat whoever else. This loss needed to happen now so they can solve this puzzle before then. It’s meant to be, championship in bound!
what i dont get is why samuelson starts and sets them back while hull is so much better
Fever players, all except Hulls, are constantly help out down low leaving shooters wide open.
Fever players also don't know how to block out and lose players they should be defending.
Caitlin Clark don't blame yourself the whole team lost that game not just you you still score some good points
Sides knows that time outs don’t roll over to the next game right ?
I disagree. The Fever have such a narrow margin for error. They can’t afford Mitchell to dribble around in ISO and take step back 20 footers with a hand in her face. There is a budget for the errors that are permitted. CC should be the lion’s share of those errors because everything else she does just makes everyone so much better. Every possession which CC doesn’t initiate the offense looks ugly.
The issue on defense is they are double teaming too much. Best teams in the league have one on one defensively for the most part. As soon as you are double teaming on defense leaves open shot threes and with NY, CS, and ML that's dangerous. I think in double teaming defensively the that much tells you Indiana is not top three at this point. It shows Sides and the staff dont trust their perimeter defense players against top tier. They need yo work on that asap on the defensive side of things if they hope to go far in the playoffs.
Mick....CC now has a better FG% and 3P% than both Sabrina and Arike. CC is on pace to break the most 3P made in a season. Arike could also break it. She's only 6 3P made behind Caitlin but has 2 fewer games. Content for your next vid bro. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching you from Charlotte, NC
Can you double screen when CC gets double teamed?
She’s a rookie. You ask way too much
What is she a rookie or an MVP can't be both she gets judged like every other player just as she gets praise
Dont you know that's only an excuse for the other rookies. Clark has to be perfect and everything is her fault.
@@hottrakz she definitely seems to be taking responsibility like an MVP candidate herself, even when it's unreasonable.
Not communicating on defense at all. Open layups and open 3s and two players on the screener try some rotation can't let teams have easy stuff😢
Clark wants to be a elite player and the only flaw she has is she turns the ball over to much she needs to stay focused more on shooting the ball when the pass is not going to get to your teammate
She is a below average defender, too.
@@jshowy7053she is 25th in the league in defensive rating and has the most blocks and steals of all rookies… her plus minus is almost on par with Reese’s too if people look at that. She is not elite but she is actually better than given credit for.
Ok we got to CC is human and make a mistake. One play doesn't make a game.
@@brighter22 yeah, recording 24/8/8 and taking the blame for the loss is magnanimous but of course not the truth.
I did not see the game, just followed the score. What happened in the 3rd quarter? Was it a shooting collapse or was Sides trying to coach?
Sides took CC out.
If the Fever want to go far in the playoffs then Sides must bench Samuelson and Smith. And implement more effective defensive strategies to help the team improve their defense especially on the perimeter.
She can take responsibility, that’s what leaders do, but one play never costs a game. Kelsey was back to hero ball, and that hurt. But without her in THAT game they lose by 30.
Out of every team going to the playoffs the Lynx is the worse possible matchup for them, not only can they score with Indiana but they way better defensively than they are
Caitlin Clark is eerily similar to Lebron James in one respect. When interviewed post-game about a particular play at some point in the game, they have perfect recall of the situation at that time and what was happening all over the floor! Unbelievable. Basketball is chess to some people, but to these two, it's checkers. Too easy!
The answer is the exact opposite though...
Temi's injury has affected her shooting. Katie Lou is just not reliable for anything. They need someone like Gustafson and Nneka.
6:26 The Fever swept the Mercury, right?
CC 21 more 3pt shots to tie Sabrina. 5 games left. CC got 107 . Record 128
It will be tuff......thats better than 5 per game, if anyone can she can.
Try again
she has a better chance beating the assist record 3 point record not happening
She is nowhere near the shooter that Sabrina is just stop it
@marcleblanc6293 5x5=25
you are right about Fevers defense and the Lynx said as much in their post press..they pack the paint and hope
Fever should hire Sun's defense coach to help Sides
Caitlyn is NOT playing defense, I'm sorry. She is not going in there with a "I'M GONNA LOCK THIS PERSON DOWN ATTITUDE." She's like a Tony Parker more of a shooter. Steph Curry will play defense, is he great? No but he shows up. Caitlyn has to show up, she's gotta get on the gym and get used to geing banged up and still performing on offense. I've seen people just cook her. She looks like she's slowing down.
Caitlyn made 25 points. That's nothing to sneeze at. she can't do it herself, Her team needs to really pitch in.
A good offensive team, when matched against a similar opposing, will expose the short comings in their defense. The transitions for Indy 2nite were horrible. CC should've worked on her 3 early. Christy Sides has no defensive strategies. This game was a match of coaches' capacities.
Really bad defense, a few really bad possessions by CC and just bad coaching (back to the defense). Yes, the Lynx are a defensive nightmare against the Fever and they are much deeper team (Katie Lou and Temi were just....BAD, again) which over the course of 4 quarters is hard to over come. But the Lynx had WIDE OPEN 3's with their best shooters over and over and over. That's on Sides, period.
I hope this loss makes team mates like Nalyssa, Dantas, and yes, even Temi take responsibility and step up. CC, a rookie took one (the blame) for the team.
See this is what seperates good coaches from bad coaches. Sides is clueless when her teams in trouble. Cc and KM have to carry the team on their back when they are struggling..sides doesnt make adjustments so the team can avoid turnovers and have bad defense
CC 7 turn overs ! She is still awesome but mental brake down! She is 22 really think they can still beat the lynx if there at top of there game ! Go FEVER 🌎 champs !!
im Just happy to hear someone say they have bad defense. The help defense is either not paying attention or just slow to get there. when they do get there on time the one who came to help is slow to get back to there original player or they do a really slow switch or no switch what so ever and they just leave the other person wide open. The other issue i see a lot is that they just let there hands drop to there waist and dont keep there hands up. My guess is this is do to them being tired because of the play style they do. You have to keep them hands up and in them passing lanes. it just seems like bad defense more times than not. I also believe the turnovers are killers too and im not just talking about CC. As a team its rough. Either way they have had a good season this year and these problems arent anything they cant fix.
One play will loose you a game if your under a minute and a one point game. The first three plays after halftime is where they lost the game. Trying to force the ball inside when your center is doubled or tripled team it’s on the coach. Fever bench is part of the problem.
I looked at the bench stats between the 2 teams, and wow, the Lynx vs Fever production is eye opening. The Lynx have a very deep bench.
Fever coach is the biggest problem. She has a habit of shooting the team in the foot when they get something going by calling stupid plays. She needs to go.
I know shes a very talented rookie however the entire game should not depend on her playing a perfect game every time. She sort of has a Peyton Manning mentality for Basketball brilliant play but with high risk and I mean for that kind of person they need a great defensive presence somewhere. They need an all star power forward defender interior ball handler.
3rd quarter was the first time I have seen Caitlin get tilted. She recovered, but she had a few possessions where she seemed pouty and checked-out. She can't do that.
This is what the GOATS (greats) do. They take responsibility, pick themselves up, and grow from every setback. This is from someone that dropped 25/8/8 on the 2nd best team in the league 🔥🔥🔥
Her analysis of this game was spot on. That gives me confidence that they will compete next time
It didnt help instead of setting up offensive plays, Kelsey Mitchells shot selection was terrible. After a turnover she would just chuck up a 3. Move the ball, drive the lane, get to the FT line.
Stop saying they play no defense, maybe not the greatest defense, maybe not good defense, but stop saying no defense. That’s ridiculous, and completely disrespectful, I do understand good defense so I know it’s not their strength but just stop saying no defense, I am over you being that disrespectful .
Sides sucks!!!!!!! She let yhe lynx go on a crazy run and didnt call a TO to slow the momentum. Sides is a clown. Coach of the month? Lmfao give me a break.

Good commentary. The Fever are a young team. Not taking anything away from how wonderfully they play, but they still need a lot of defense practice. Lately, their scoring and their fearless running doesn’t overcome there defensive weakness. They’re still a year or two away from a great team in all phases of the game.
I’d love to be in the film room with Caitlin when she’s watching her defence.
CC made a poor decision in wanting to make the pass, when the lay up was by far the most obvious choice of making the two points … she was wide open and so obvious about the choice she should have made … these are the mistakes you have to learn from and not repeat.
The Fever are at their best when they move at pace move the ball around so the wide players get the looks for shots that look like a training session!
The fever are showing just how young and small they are as a team. They need to get bigger if they want to win
