    Temi Fagbenle is a Gazelle and a beat on the boards, can't wait for her to return.

      @@johnandlisakritchman999 That's very true. One of them will start and the other will play a lot of bench minutes. Either way is probably a winning strategy. Also, Temi is capable of playing the 5 spot if Nalyssa is on the floor without AB. Yay depth!

      Yeah she is learning too I think. She didn't know what to do with Clark to start the season, but as Hull said in the postgame the team has bought in and you can see the coach has too. There are MANY coaches in the WNBA who would not let Clark play her game.

      As a great parody lyric writer myself, and all you did was simply sub in 2 names, but I was liking it. Until the last verse. Why was Sides wrong? She is doing exactly what Temi said... team building. Sides may not be perfect but you cannot deny that she's had a hand in adjusting Caitlin to the WNBA. They have been installing several plays and adjustments to get her open unlike those first few games this year.
      So for that last verse let's change it to: "You've been gone, and we just can't live without you."
      Yeah... I like that much better. It just flows. 👍

    I started watching the Fever play this year because of CC, but I really like the whole team after getting to know the players. All the ladies are great, and you can see the difference in their team play in the past few weeks. If Temi comes back at 100% and this team keeps playing at this level, they are going to be a problem in the playoffs.

    • @artistamisto
      @artistamisto 2 місяці тому

      Christie was hit out of nowhere with a complaint that she never knew was coming. Her first thoughts were why is this coach frantically pulling me over and if she is making such a fuss she may be correct. NONE of us knew why Quinn was raging and the announcers guessed wrong. I'm sure realizing what was going on later (watching the video) Christie waved it off and told her team not to worry about outside noise. I'll bet she had a few choice words for Quinn but at the time she was befuddled. She probably didn't even know Clark was on that side riling up the fans she was looking at anything but that. If your first response is to tell the angry coach to F off that would be wrong. Quinn took advantage of her. Freaking welfare queen. I bet when Sides comes across a similar situation next time she says "You go worry about your own team!"

    IDK if Sides is a good coach or not; my main issue is when they get big leads, she has in the past apparently decided to slow the pace - playing fast is their strength! BUT I never thought she was intentionally sabotaging her own team or Clark.
    She has taken a heap of very hateful criticism, so I hope the rest of the season is positive for the Fever.

    • @artistamisto
      @artistamisto 2 місяці тому

      Couch coaches blame her when the Fever suck on defense. When they allow made shots they can't always run because by the time they inbounds the ball the opposing D is back. They have been one of the worst Ds in the league and Christie is aware enough to make that a focal point to improve. Seems like a good coach to me so far. You really have to know basketball to see what's happening and many part timers do not.

    Softball question from reporter, tees up Christie to compliment Caitlin on leading this team and she just can't bring herself to do it. Totally deflects the question. Sad to see a coach so reluctant to build up a player. Not that Clark needs it at all from Sides, but she is the coach.

    • @artistamisto
      @artistamisto 2 місяці тому +1

      Some of you bring up issues when there is none. We've seen her praise Caitlin in other interviews. The media tries to make it all about Caitlin and when Sides compliments HER TEAM you get your panties in a bunch. A good coach does not show favoritism. It's not team building and Caitlin does not need everyone's praise all the time. The media questions can be annoying.

    Our defensive pressure is certainly part of our success, and we won't win a championship without a stingy defense. But, it is not accurate to say that we're excelling only when we get stops. Many times, we are getting "fast break" baskets after the opponent makes a shot. We need to continue improving our defense, but the thing that makes us dangerous is our ability to score in transition. We should put offensive pressure on teams from the opening tip until the final buzzer. I think we have seen teams wilt/run out of gas against our constant offensive onslaught.
