I'm from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I want to say congratulations to Indiana for their first win yous all are starting to play better as a team, Caitlin your a amazing player
Agree. This is the Lonzo Ball effect. Lonzo had a target on his back coming into the league. Opponents would put on their best defense each time they guarded him. His game never fully developed while with the Lakers. Same is happening to Clark.
normally, I'd agree with you, but I think Caitlin Clark can handle it. She has the right mentality. Besides, the pressure comes with the territory when she signed the $28million Nike contract. The pressure and scrutiny is part of the job description.
CC thrives on pressure, 8 yrs old playing in the boys league and winning, college playing in football areanas to accommodate crowds, she's the GOAT of all sports
@@dannyballenger3340 her assist result in others getting easy baskets/points But you know American sports only focus on direct points not contributions. Assist show you whose truly distributing the ball in any sport. I never ask who scored the goals or points I wanna know who gave the unselfish assists.
When the Indiana Fever were 0-5,I kept hearing "Caitlin Clark hasn't won a game all season".Yet they finally win and it's all "Caitlin Clark didn't score most of the points.So they don't need her".You all are hypocrites who just want find a reason to hate on the girl just because she's the one who helped get more people to start watching WNBA.
No one hates Caitlin, the White-privileged fans who jumped on her bandwagon last year pedestalizing her are the hateful ones who are using her as White hope of dominance. Even though Caitlin has NEVER won a championship after high school.
This team has to win dirty. Had a balanced scoring night and I think that is how they are going to win this year. CC gives them a chance if she gets hot but those post players have to play good or there is no way they win
@@glenparksbonanzahs6376 😂 Your an i d 1 0 t. You must be one of those new fans who don’t know what they’re talking about. What did you do, search Fever vs Sparks and automatically assume this was the latest game. Ya d_u m_m y. 😆
After, actually watching the WNBA, specifically the Fever. I'm telling you all that Smith is going to be the secret of CCs success and for the Fevers success. That chick is quick. When those two are on, and Boston is on, they are going to be hard to beat.
The Fever has finally begin to jell as a ball club I don't know if it was the coach or her letting the team find their way in the game or probably both.
Well it's about damn time Boston started playing worth a crap... so far I've actually been more surprised how badly Boston's was playing this year, moreso than Clark -- Clark just got there.
Everyone needs to back off Boston, Mitchell and Clark. They are just beginning to gel. Temi and Clark first and now the rest of the team. Will be interesting to see transition plays with Kate defending as she is tough as nails.
The defense is able to push Caitlin far outside the 3 point circle for 2 reasons 1. Caitlin has no other weapon so defenses can play her close and, 2. women's basketball is slow which minimizes the benefits of passing and ball handling for smaller players.
Sparks are tanking for Paige next year or maybe even Juju if they can change the draft rule to two years out of high school. The league is getting better. Need two stars like Vegas and NY.
Near 20s left in the game, the LAS lady is facing the basket close to the restricted area but decides to not take the shot but to pass the ball outside to try a 3, instead of taking an easy 2 inside. Bad decision surely. 😢
Brink should model Someone should of told Caitlin not to rest her tongue on her teeth but the roof of her mouth when taking pictures, it makes your smile look more natural LA got a good one, the rest of their squad needs to improve, not the first time they’ve missed her open and it’s not like she’s struggling to score Caitlin needs to initiate more contact to match the physicality and less off the dribble 3’s more of the catch they’re typically easier
Exactly. There is no mention of the 3 players scoring over 17 points. That's disrespectful. The announcers are high chairing her. Clark walks around with a primadonna attitude.
What they couldn't do without out her is put asses in the seats or eyes on the TV. She has single handedly changed the entire league. Selling out arenas. Quadrupling ticket prices. Breaking TV viewership records. Yeah, I can't figure out why they might put a spotlight on her.
@@mjhombre88 That's true but one can understand the frustration of players who are good, have worked hard for a long time and then she waltzes in and immediately is more important than all the rest put together
@@mjhombre88 CC was only able to do that because she was lifted to the for front and blasted everywhere. When people start seeing your name everywhere followed by terms like generational talent people will start tuning in to actually see her. Also I didn’t think most people knew who CC was until the Angel Reese situation in college. That sole viral moment in my opinion was what catapulted CC and Reese into household name territory. Honestly they could have promoted Reese or other female players and they would have had the CC effect. I’m not taking anything away from CC and I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to be where she is but she was chosen 😅
Say what you want but this young lady has taken the sports world (not just basketball) by storm. Haters can hate all they want but so far she's amazing. Only one other player can make me smile when he plays the way she does and that’s Steph Curry.
Omg relax it’s always that one person of the team that gets the most love ; can you guys not complain about everything …. No one says that about Kobe lebron Jordan Tom Brady … get out your feelings
Fever might want to close their eyes come aces meet up. Sad, that Candace retired before the season. I wanted an easy third championship, smack down but alas, we get teams working for the final ring
Anyone who says CC had an "off night" shooting, and thus is not a true star, watch the clip of Kevin McHale telling how Larry Bird had miss3d something like 13 in a row in the 2nd half, but hit the 3 pointer at the buzzer to win the game!
I'm happy for the team, but CC was not the highest scorer on her team last night. Give the other players their props. The commentators sounded as if they were only there to critique CC.

That's the only reason a lot of people do 😂
I the same. I also like the haters. acting like it is them...LET GO FEVERS
Caitlin and Kate Sarurday!!! ❤❤

Caitlin Clark needs less pressure put on her to become a WNBA powerhouse. Let her develop and work her style into the game.

Caitlin Clark is the only reason that I'm watching women's basketball again she brings the excitement back!
What if for the hell of it, CC decides to just shoot the ball from the other side of the court before the buzzer and it actually goes in.

I’m a nerd. I don’t watch sports in general let alone the WNBA and yet even I’m now a fan of Clark waiting for her next game.
Shaq told Kobe one time: He said Kobe there is no I in team and Kobe said exactly but there’s a ME! Love it. Yes Kobe would have loved CC
CC is a way better team player than Kobe. Her passing surpasses his by a large margin.
I come in as a Hawkeye fan and enjoying getting acquainted with each FEVER player. What a great group of gals! Love watching them🏀👏👏👏
The coach should have never let her be guarded by Gabby. She had only scored 5 points before those 2 threes.
That Kobe/Clark sign tho ❤️👊
To see the young girls in the crowd, and how much they are into the game was really cool
0:33...Holy Wayne Larivee (voice of the Green Bay Packers of the NFL)...WHAT A DAGGER BY CAITLIN CLARK.

Drama with Caitlin Clark? I am stunned. The WNBA's very own Taylor Swift. "What did Caitlin eat for breakfast today? I have to know!"
From Dominican Republic we are watching the high live of wnba something good is happen, yeah Caitlin make the different.
She should have stayed at Iowa for another year."Legendary" would have understated it with a 2024-25 season under her belt.
how the fuck have they not had a practice yet.
1st time hearing that they are playing this run of games with no practices.
The defense is able to push Caitlin far outside the 3 point circle for 2 reasons 1. Caitlin has no other weapon so defenses can play her close and, 2. women's basketball is slow which minimizes the benefits of passing and ball handling for smaller players.

There is no debate.
Such dumb comparisons to curry shut it up
not even close
offensively, he may be #1, but as a complete player, he's not in the top 5. Defense matters and he's missing half the game.
