    At the beginning, Sides said they don't want her shooting 3's much less logo shots. They wanted long twos. Then she said she needed to pass more. Then it was she wasn't passing enough. Really frustrating. Especially when CC said she didn't get in game coaching.

    Caitlin Clark is like a DAWG kept in crate until she is taken to games to get the crowds, but put on a leash by her coach and told by her teammates she better be an obedient dog. The brilliant thing about Coach Bluder is that she let Caitlin loose and it made her look like the best coach ever.

      Clark could take over in college, she was better than 90% of the college players. Her lack of strength and physical statue and willingness to play physical will hurt her on this level. She play no defense, and gives little effort.
      When CC decides to be a PG who can shoot, she will be a great player. Shooting from the logo means nothing, it looks good, that's all.

      The problem is Sides' offense is DESIGNED to run CC into double teams and blitzes so she CAN'T call her own number. They need to run some sets to free her up for shots and actually pass to her when she's open. When no one can catch a pass or hit an open shot teams will continue to send 2-3 players at CC so she can't call her own number. And the rest of the team doesn't make them pay so there's very little risk. You can't just jack up shots 1 on 3. Plus, if your actually paying attention, EVERY long 3 CC misses turns into an automatic transition score for the other team because NONE of her teammates run back on defense. She knows if she misses, it's 2 for the other team, so she's forced to limit her shots. BIG PICTURE - She's being coached out of relevance.

    Caitlin always says the right thing. She does not stir the drink. I do wonder what her truthful response would be to this question. If you knew the first 19 games would be like this, would you have stayed in college? Of course next year coming out would have had similar issues. Just amazing how some people are untouchable and others are fair game. 2025 will be a big year for CC. She will have time to rest and build up her strength. Best of all a European team can throw a max contract at her. I can see a job for Conner in the same organization.

Other teammates have easy looks and can't hit them. It's not a mamba mentality issue. Is she really supposed to play 5 on 1 like that? She's swarmed by defenders, Robin. How is she supposed to be "more aggressive" in that situation? It's still a team sport.

    Does not matter what Sides says in pressers. She completely controls CC touches by the people she has on the court. Wheeler on the court will keep CC shots below 12. EW should only replace Mitchell or CC. No more than 10 minutes a game for Wheeler. I guess Samuelson is the odd person out. Played 4 minutes. CC is getting frustrated and she needs to start throwing Sides under the bus. Force the 89 year old Herb Simon and/or the 77 year old Lin Dunn to make a change. Trade CC or find a new coach.

Caitlin was shooting well last night, but Kelsey and Erica looked her off at least twice that I can remember when she came wide open off a pin down. As the coach you have to point that out and make it clear that you want to take advantage of those situations and the ball needs to go back to Caitlin. After a while NaLyssa stopped playing on both ends. Why keep her in? Put Temi back in, or Katie-Lou. Kristy Wallace did a miserable job guarding Jewel Loyd. Lexie Hull should’ve stayed on her more. Obviously playing through the post didn’t work out since Nneka and Ezi shot all of that down most of the time. Then you have to adjust and change strategies.

    Upon a quick study of the box score, 20 to 8 in turnovers and 4 to 14 steals and FTs (11-18 vs 15-17) and Boston's 5-16 FGs is bad. Not sure what kinda shots Boston was shooting but if she's missing shots outside the paint, those shots shoulda gone to CC.

    After Caitlin unloaded on them in the 2nd quarter, Seattle came out the 2nd half with a defensive strategy against the Fever by doing 1 thing...stopping Caitlin Clark from shooting the ball. Period. And they did, limiting her to 2 shots. When your being face-guarded without the ball, being blitzed by 2-3 players constantly, and your coach make NO adjustments and keeps running the exact same offensive sets the entire game, there's not much you can do. I didn't see a single set play designed to get Caitlin a clean shot. The better the teams the Fever play the more you see this is an inexperienced team, with marginally good players at most positions, and an inexperienced coach who has little to no ability to be creative, either offensively or defensively, and adjust to what the other team is doing. You can see it in Caitlin's demeanor...it's going to be a LONG season.

      Fair points. I really think those times where she goes and stands in a corner are by design. I think the Fever believe that helps open the floor for Mitchell or whoever is the other guard. She does need to work on turnovers a lot. I noticed last night, it is the routine passes that she is sometimes lazy with and they get deflected. As for foot speed, she has it as you can see her accelerate with the ball off the dribble. I think she purposefully plays defense like she does so she can help the paint defense and rebounding, hence why she averages a block per game and like 6 rebounds. They always put her on the least shooting guard for that reason, I think.

    Caitlyn Clark. Keep your head up. The same narrative used against you today was tried with ANN MYERS of the WBL. History is repeating itself. ONLY this time you can change the ending.
    Know that similar to ANN MYERS, you are the catalyst that will bring more eyes and interest to the game. Granted, there are players like Aja Wilson, Tarasi, Reese, Carter, etc., coaches or reps found on Team USA and WNBA teams that believe there are better players than you( CLARK).
    Remember these folks...
    Denise Long - Warriors
    Lucy Harris - Utah
    Feminist called MYERS a traitor like you are by the lesbians and feminist ballers.
    ALTHEA GYWN disposed MEYERS for that very reason. It did not help that MYERS received 150,00 dollars after turning down the NBA Contract and playing with the WBL. Later, GYwn admitted she was jealous of MEYERS .
    So as long as you are marked the face of the league, people will come after you.
    You got this young woman!!!
    Muscle up. Diverse your half court dribble: speed, height, angles - hezzy ). Gain more upper body strength and GO KICK TAIL.
    TAKE YOUR SHOTS MY DEAR. TAKE THEM... Loom for your shot first. Stretch the floor and pass second..

They would just shoot the ball and that would be that. Maybe Caitlin just needs to start ramping up the shots. The fancy passing is great if it resulted in better results, but is it working?
