People forget why the Fever drafted first
Nobody wants to hear that. She’s the GOAT remember?
@@jamiethomas5849 bron missed the playoffs his first 2 years and MJ (after 3 years of college) didn't finish above .500 until his 4th season lol. No matter who you think the goat is, everybody needs time to adjust to a new league before they start dominating
@@jamiethomas5849facts...they was saying she's the goat before she even played a WNBA game...now they got excuses bcuz they realize it's a different level lol
@@kenan-by'all gotta stop comparing women to men...she's no MJ nor LeBron bro
the energy completely shifted with fans and media. everybody with sports knowledge was saying she not gonna be great fresh out the gate but people who have never watched WNBA swore she would dominate now y'all backtracking
I'm hearing wwwwwaaaaayyyyy toooo many excuses for her
Damage control in full affect 🤣🤣🤣
there’s a reason why Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi said what they said.
Yeah but they weren't talking about the talent. They were talking about the culture, and it's on full display. Caitlin needs to grow a pair and hold her teammates accountable instead of the other way around.
Big facts, she's unathletic and even at Iowa, her ball handling skills were average at best! She will be average at best, Stephanie A. Smith says what Disney tells him to!
There still haters.
Both brain dead jealous
@@brianmegrant1847 They're professionals who went through the same thing. They're speaking from experience. How shallow can you be with this hater nonsense?
Y’all owe Diana an apology, treated her like she’s not one of the Goats 😂
Facts ‼️
That ain't ever going to happen
Nothing wrong with stating that it’s a different level, the problem was she didn’t show any support for Clark.
Agreed
They are targeting her every game. The best thing for wnba is to send a memo out league wide telling them let up on her. Because if clark fails the wnba gon be back to when people didn’t care
Tim Legler pointed out something that went over everyone but Monica’s head. Clark isn’t physically gifted. She doesn’t have a physical advantage over any players. Which means she will have to work twice as hard to get off shots. She also didn’t have to face elite players on offense, and because she doesn’t have a physical advantage, she isn’t and may never be an elite defender. Even her passing is suspect, because the same type of passes she made at Iowa got stolen in these first 2 games.
You all saw what South Carolina did to her. Well, Clark is basically facing South Carolina every game she plays in the WNBA.
She may not be buff, but have you ever tried shooting a jump shot as far back as she does? That takes legit strength, she's not just chucking them up with both hands. Is Steph Curry going to win any strength contests?
@@alexr1934True Curry fans know that Steph’s weight-lifting skills are consistently strong ever since he started working with a strength coach over the past decade. He realized the evolution of his game required leg strength to combat his many leg injuries and constant motion offense of his game. Warrior coaches say Steph, pound for pound, is one of the strongest guys on the team.
@@kd8752 Yep, point taken
Best comment i seen
@@alexr1934with the same ball and the line she shoots from I think he will do ok
Why aren’t they talking bout angel Reese ?? Or any other female player?? They pushing her way too hard
Angel Reese wasn't picked #1 and didn't break any NCAA scoring records.
Reese is cheeks..no post game, no jumper, decent rebounder..
@@shogunn2517WHY DO WHITES DEFAULT TO LYING when it come to Reese ??? She literally broke the double double single season record !!!!
Because she's not as flashy. She plays an old school game, which is boring to casuals bro
@@CorleoneSoup scoring is what was said tho lol
So the legends Diana Taurasi and Sheryl Swoopes were RIGHT about how Caitlin Clark's debut would be difficult. They were called "haters", but they spoke FACTS. #realityiscoming
They still are haters tho lol. Shade is still shade
@@jctslice it aint shade they just telling the truth
They told people the truth. It's a learning curve. People swore she would walk in day one scoring 40. Not 20.
@@jctslicethey’re not haters idiot. They spoke the truth. So shut up!
They were right and instead of listening to actual vets everyone just decided to turn CC into an victim.
SA is always capping for certain people and groups.
Yeah I'm starting to notice that
Yep
He is just saying what he has been told to say. He likes his money and is perfectly comfortable being the class clown for the public and his puppet masters.
It’s how he keeps his job how have yall not been caught on that’s been his MO for years
Oreo Cookie monster
She went from being THE GOAT but now SMITH says he doesnt care if she has a bad season
One bad season won't define her as a player
@@jctsliceyeah it kinda does remember she’s the GOAT
He’s a walking contradiction
@@GoatedAtNFS not really. 1995 doesn't define MJ as a player. GOATs all have had down years
@@jctslice But it will erase her GOAT status and that's what i'm happy about
It always pissed me off that people were calling her THE GOAT while still in college
As if Kelsey Plum isn't better then her
and many others
You earn GOAT status form playing PROS
Not college players
The WORSE NFL QB could be a GOAT if they went back to college
GOAT STATUS is earned in the PROS
CATLIN CLARK can still be a GOAT
Just needs to earn it
The WNBA veteran told you all that she won't walk into the league and dominate, but you all called them haters .Now you are agreeing but not acknowledging you under estimated the league and the vet's advice
She had 20 and broke the WNBA record for most 3s hit in a game in their rookie debut
Here's the kicker, no one likes the old WNBA players. Never will, they couldn't make the sport entertaining to watch in 25yrs.
@@OutsideLookingInSportsthat doesn’t mean what they said is wrong lol
@@OutsideLookingInSports meaning you don't like wnba...
true but the team that she joined are rubbish so it will take time could be 1 or 2 years lets WAIT and SEE
She’ll definitely be fine, but the pandering is GLARING!
Exactly I was telling people don't expect 30 and 40 a night from her !!! Will there be games where she shows out sure but not every night
Yea. She will eventually even out, and be forgotten, like every other #1 WNBA pick. she’s being humbled right now.
Word .
I've actually defended Clark but it might be better
to just say that the WNBA is hard rather than give excuses
because she is a #1 pick. The Fever aren't the Aces but
they're not a scrub team either.
If
Ain’t nobody trying to hear the excuses
That's exactly right everyone's fault but hers
Not excuses. The Fever are terrible bro
@@jctsliceThe team is. SHE is not. She is being locked down by the big girls like they told y’all but y’all called people haters.
Facts lol
You don’t watch, you can’t comment. Ignorant
Nike when they signed Clark: 🙌💪😁🍾🕺🎉
Nike now: 😐
We need that same energy they had when they were hyping her up.
Yea would be nice for a change. If she is so iconic/gifted/worldbreaker like they advertised why is she struggling like a regular rookie.
She has no handles and I’m hearing people calling for her to play the point
That part
@@youngkills342handles ain’t needed from what I saw in that minn VS Iowa game. Google that game and come back to here lol
We gone keep hyping her up.
ESPN trying to convince themselves 😂
They are ignoring the incompetence of Caitlin's coach and teammates.
😂😂 right
best comment by far
best comment not even close
Right. Don't put any pressure on her like they do the black players either 💯
WNBA segments every day loll this crazy to see
Especially when you realize how small their fan base is
@@MeBihhhhit has grown though.
Cause of that stupid “Women’s movement, me too crap” these women wanna fit it with men (in sports and talking sports) so bad.
@@Fitkid7672 for sure but the over coverage doesn’t match the viewership.
Just reminds me of the way espn did when Ronda rousy was relevant for that yr
I wish they had a whole seperate segment like they got so many others🤣🤣
Lmao you guys are the same people that said she can play with men and now she can’t handle the woman’s physicality lol 🤡
Stfu she just a rookie
If she could handle the nba she would play in it. Way more money.
Lol preach I told people she'd not gonna do all that killing she was doing on Iowa in the wnba people said I was hating and called me a angel reese fan when I'm a fan of the game
Lol who tf said that? Lol
Right.
They’re trying so hard to protect her
It’s crazy how the media switches on people so fast
Why is no one talking about Angel Reese, she's doing good
Her game was mid as well
they have to defend her because she’s over hyped
@@eldowns379most definitely better than Clark's that for sure lol
Brink had the best debut IMO. Had issues with fouls and we all knew she would, but she looked really good when she was out there.
This isn't about Angel Reese, who has a hall-of-fame player and NBA player development coach who will build her career just fine. Not only that, TSpoon is a defensive specialist, and defense and rebounding are Angel Reese's strongest attributes.
DT tried to tell you. Shyt ain't sweet at the next level!
But they called her a hater though
They were too blinded by hate and making it a Yt vs Black thing to even to care...calling her the GOAT when she haven't played a single professional game lol...now look
They hoping not another Tim Tebow or Johnny Football 😅😅😅😅😅
Disingenuous comment...DT is a c..t. So there's that. Second, the All time leading scorer in the NCAA Basketball gets 8 shots off the entire game?? I played basketball for many years. She should be shooting no less than 20 shots a game. Thirdly, Indiana's not only one of the worst teams they have zero defensive talent. So baffling that this is all on CC. Lastly the coach is absolutely trash.
@@desotohybrid2175 And they conveniently overlooked that two of her biggest critics were fellow white women (Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird).
Diana Tarausi was right 🔮
One thing was wrong. Clark looked super human as an 18 year old playing 21 years olds.
So it appears Diana Taurasi wasn't being a hater after all.
oh no...she is lol
@@threediglettsactually I think DT was being realistic.
@@keithgupton9349 a realistic hater haha
@threedigletts people discussing their opinions are haters???
yall idiots call anything haters
She was hating, but she also knew that cc wasn't gonna get the help from her team like 1st picks due in nba. College ball isn't as sloppy and refs are better imo.
Only Tim Legler gave an astute breakdown without pandering .
They tried to hype her up like she was gonna score 5k points this year 😂
Like Diana Tiarusa said you playing with grown women and people gonna be coming after her too much hype
Naw wnba is dumb league, scheduled her against good teams to start
😂😂😂 always an excuse @@xavierb9061
Nah if your team and coaches are against you. You ant winning.
@@kingsupreme5693 Her team and coaches aren't against her though.....
@@xavierb9061she's on the worst team fool EVERY team is good compared to the Fever. That's why they had the number one pick. Clark is going to get body checked by EVERY squad. Cry more Clark simps.
Espn put a target on her back! She's getting everyone's best defense cause ESPN said Caitlin Clark is better than the current WNBA woman.
Or this how they normally play lol. I guess you don’t watch the WNBA. SHES playing in the pros, it’s a different ballgame (pun intended).
That means if she figures it out then Issa wrap. If she constantly gets everyone’s best shot every night then it will make her a beast if she uses that as fuel. She will be unstoppable once she gets comfortable
@@icyrollie18😂😂😂😂
ESPN never said that. Let's see the video tape.
That is CC supporters that is saying she is better than everyone else. EVER.
What happened to all the espn analysts that said she could play in the nba oh now she’ll be fine get out of here😂😂😂
That wasn't a serious conversation tho
@@jctslicethey were dead serious
Who tf said that? Lol
@@NoName-cn3cp yeah i want to know who said that lol
@@AlphaDwg lol probably Perk lol that mf hyperbolic af! Lol
Thank you Tim for analyzing her basketball so far and not just brushing it off like SAS. We here for analysis please.
Giving a basketball player a pass for having -37 +/- is hilarious. If this was russel westbrook, you would be calling him everything other than a slave 😂😂😂😂😂
it was -24, and Boston's was - 33. That Russ line is funny af though
As chuck would say “she had a triple single” 😂
💀🪦
😂😂😂😂😂 its to early to laugh hard 😂
“What’d she have, Chuck?” *Shaq voice 😂
@@MateMagyar88 and then shaq busting up laughing 😂 makes it so much better
@@phillipsosa3353 That suction noise he makes like he’s at a dentist. 😂
You really think that Caitlin had nothing to do with loss? Take a look at her stats and it may help to understand how she contributed to the loss. Don’t label her as ‘mamba’ because Kobe could create his own shot. At this level, the players are 100% better than college players. Iowa spoiled her by having every member on the team throw up screens for her all throughout the game, she needs to learn how to create space for herself.
Also, she better hurry and cash that NIKE check QUICK. 🤣🤣🤣.
That's not how she contributed. She can't defend. Every wnba team knows that and they get easy buckets by putting her in screens. It's that simple.
You ain't lying. Nike just had two quarters where they didn't make their financial projections...lol
@@politicallil7060 lol
Breanna Stewart (4 NCAAA titles and MVP in 4 years) and Sabrina Ionescu (who would have won a NCAA title if not for Covid) both have legitimate resumes to be considered the college GOAT.
People need to have realistic expectations and that includes Clark herself.
Legler is a GREAT analyst. A lot of knowledge and great perspective. Touches on points others dont.
The bottom line is her weaknesses were overlooked by everyone overhyping her. If she's going to be great, it will be built with a full off-season.
FACTS
CC has had a disaster start to her WNBA career, lost all preseason, and now the analysts are trying to put it on the team and coach. 10 Turnovers? How's that anyone else's fault?
Caitlin Clark is getting that LeBron James hype
@@DJ_-foh compare that trash to lebron
Dude AB didn't catch 4 of those turnovers that were passes orndidnt complete then to points...refs called a bogus traveling call..thats 5 of 10..other pass to someone was mess up between double teams who were allowed by refs to break the 3 second rule allowing them to stay too close for too long ..the coach didn NOT challenge the bs 2 fouls on cc and refs didn't call fouls on dijonay ...couch didn't let cc play her point guard style not shooting guard hater
Her team isn't good.And they aren't catching those passes.
@@BlessManeThe Caitlyn Clark haters are outraged 😆
Stephen A copping pleas. Just say Diana T was right and move on. Let her grow
She won't she's a rookie so they gonna be easy on her
Diana sucks. No one knew who she was until CC brought eyes the league.
@@ianstephens333🤡🤡🤡🤡
Don't know why people got so worked up about what DT said if anyone has the right to talk on women's basketball....it's one of the GOATs if not the GOAT that's Diana Taurasi her resume is impeccable league and globally
@@johnathonrogers7199 It wasn't her comment about the league, they didn't like how quickly she said "Buecker, next!" when asked who would you choose CC or Buecker if you were building a team. It was salty, but UConn vets always think playing at UConn makes you superior to all other players.
ESPN overhyped it to cash in on some great viewership, but now is the downside where she comes back to earth and its shown that she’s a good but not great player
lol all the clowns who thought she would dominate soon as she got drafted
good point tiger
facts dude
They're making excuses now 😂
Who exactly said this? I hear it more from the fans. Tim Legler was more of the voice of reason saying the expectations were gonna be Unreal.
I must admit that I’m one of those clowns 🤡. Good point!
Why is nobody acknowledging she’s getting face guarded & picked up 94 feet lmao
You mean they actually play defense in the wnba. What is your point
@@melgodbolt my point is she’s a rookie getting face guarded 94 feet that’s respect… I’ve watched multiple games to start the year now & haven’t seen another player face guarded 94 feet
Cry more.
I’m saying. So many casuals hating lol
@@tyrich1914 Dawgs will challenge the proclaimed GOAT to see if its legit.. You all and the hype machine said she was dangerous 😂??? Now you crying because the pressure on and the performance off 🤣... COPE!! She's average in the league...
I mean they tried to warn her but y’all said they was hating
Facts and it's not like any of the current or former players called her bad. Just said she wouldn't come in and dominate.
She’s still the highest scorer on her team tho 😅She’s not doing as bad as everybody making her out to be. People just love to hate. Why aren’t we hating on any other rookies?
@@NennaM28 she is doing bad but that’s ok she still a rookie, we all know she’s great, but just like DT and them said it ain’t no cake walk
They was hating, not because of the warning, but because of the lies people like Swoopes were spouting off.
@@justinclark4235 they weren't hating. Swoopes had her age and years off thats all
People mad because opposing teams are defending her hard. Thats what happens when they hype you like you're the Messiah of a league you've never played in.
Got dang thats facts 😂... It ain't hate, If you are a dawg you're going to want to see what the hype is about. We saw 😂
The way Steven a talks about Kyrie vs Caitlin clark, as a black man it’s deplorable to see
So they basically said wait til they play some sorrier teams so she can shine 😂😂😂😂
There’s several other rookies out playing her now, but you hear NOTHING about them.
If Clark is sooooo great, then why are a few other drafted players doing 3x better than she is???
Stevie A quick to defend yt.. never fails
That’s how 🦝boy keeps his job ☺️
Can we keep it real...She was nothing more than a shooter. She is making her money, but Caitlin will never duplicate what she did in college and, 2-3 years from now, she will be forgotten.
People through she was gonna come out and go undefeated and turn the worst team in the league into champions her first year 😂😂
The last person Clark needs advice from is Steve A. He is literally is the most clueless person about sports.
Kendrick Perkins is worse
Calling out her teammates and separating her from them is the last thing anybody should do
She needs a clue from someone because she has been horrible.
Can't be clueless at something you're getting paid multi-millions to talk about and report SMH
I wouldn't go that far. But he hypes for clicks. If people hated Caitlin, Stephan A would torch her. He's so fake.
My eyes on Brink. She looks like she should've went #1.
100% her or rickea
She fits in very well with her skill set. I'm just worried about Rikea not getting enough time. Think her and Rikea and the guard from Carolina would be fire togethe
Good point on the body language. Hopefully someone talks to her about it.
Its TIME for ESPN to cover all the rookies equally. Catlin is a bust
When everybody said itll be hard for her, those people was called haters 😂...smh
Crickets now 😂... Shes average in the league. She better advance her game or she will go down as the biggest bust in history 😂... Way to much hype to be looking like this!

WNBA did a terrible job scheduling that girl against the top defensive teams in the league.
it's only 12 teams in the league lol
@@DavidLee-vp3nr with the best women in the world..
@@bigstretch843 the worst..
The best are domincian
@DavidLee-vp3nr I'm not gonna knock your opinion. I'm sure them girls would beat you 1 on 1 tho...
An attempt to create a female version of Lebron James has failed. There was a set of people who said she was better than some NBA players. When Taurasi warned about this you folks tagged her as a hateful and jealous person. Suddenly we started hearing "she will be fine". Was that not what Taurasi was warning about?
I’m actually feeling all the WNBA talk😊 keep it up bc I’m learning a lot about the league
Stop makin excuses Stephen a she’s supposed to be a GAME CHANGER stop it!
This aint college anymore Stephen A.
Diana called it 😂
Last year although they lost a lot of games, they were much more competitive in their losses. They lost a lot of games because they couldn't close out games not because they got blown out. For commercial purposes Indiana Fever needs to figure out how to put CC in a better position to succeed because right now the demand is at historic highs but the quality of the product is currently low.
Fever ain't all that. Well, CC is supposed to make them all that lol.
But not right away. It's a process
Hopefully all this media exposure and expectations don’t turn her into a bust…I feel like she’s probably the most over hyped female basketball player of all time and she can feel it
CC is a shooter, but the difference is the speed of the WNBA to college, she can’t get the separation to shoot the shot as cleanly as college. None of these teams are going to give her the respect that she can take them off the dribble, CC will have to earn her respect.
This. She’s no longer going against teams where 1-2 players have any real chance of going pro. She’s now up against the best out there. There’s TONS of players in all sports, who were great in college, but struggled in the pros.
Caitlyn Clark’s fans put this target on her back, they disrespected every wnba player saying CC was better than them all, saying she’s the greatest woman’s basketball player on the planet. Y’all think these players don’t see that??
I completely agree
Just like how ESPN backed up Darvin Ham by saying the Lakers should have never fired him. They're just saying that cuz Stephen A Smith knows better. Trust me, he's always trying to recruit players from other teams to go to the Knicks but he never wants the 86 his own owner. Sad to know
CC college career FG 46%, FG3% 38, wnba 1st 2 games, 30% shooting, wnba much better defense.
after seeing what Raven Johnson was doing to her in the national championship game I was like yeah she gonna struggle at first in the WNBA because she way too loose with her dribble and doesn't handle physicality well. Playing against older, stronger, veteran players will be an adjustment.
This is why you don't crown a player before they play a game
I’m Tired of Hearing About her Talk about someone who’s playing well
I don't understand. Of course I have only seen these 2 WNBA games though. The Sun looked good, the Liberty looked good. However, the Fever look like a high school team (Jr high school?). Their offense is atrocious, and their defense is nonexistent. They don't even do the basics like boxing out.
Stephen A needs to be in Rehab .. not ESPN.
She's a Back to Back CHOKER!!!
How come everything that is pushed on us involves women being more masculine and men being more feminine?
Last month they were calling her the GOAT SMH
She getting the welcome to the wnba !!! The clark riders thought she was going to be good 😂😂 they wasn’t saying this about stewy lol
Because they weren't saying anything about Stewart cuz no one cares about her
@@Guy-zl3spjust say you don't 🤣💯

@@Guy-zl3sp that sounds silly you don't know the world and the world don't know you🤣how are you 🗣️ for everybody

Two games and two games against some of the leagues BEST.
Best take!
I think Caitlin will be fine. But her team may not be. The Fever look like their seriously stink.
Does ESPN talk about any other WNBA players or even WNBA rookies from the same class as Caitlin? You aren’t going to grow the sport if you only focus on one player. You don’t want people to stop tuning in if Caitlin is struggling. Cameron Brink had a really strong start. Where’s the stories about her? Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
but it was fans like you that said CC is the only reason why the WNBA is becoming relevant lmao
@@tituswu691 Who said that? I never said that. I’ve been disputing people who have been saying that.
Major misconception: ESPN promotes athletes and tries to grow a particular sport. ESPN covers sports and the stories that will get the most viewers...That's it. Caitlin is massively more popular than any female basketball player in history. It is a cultural phenomena. She is the player the new fans want to know about. NFL, NBA, MLB, they bring in the money for ESPN. Reality: The WNBA will never be big outside of Caitlin. Straight women never have followed sports on a big scale. They never will. They watch Caitlin because they love her, and it is mostly young, white girls. She is the athletic Taylor Swift. Vast majority of men will never watch the WNBA for the level of play is way below the NBA.
I’m just here to listen to the excuse 😂😂😂
That’s why the people that said, “oh she can play with the men in the NBA” is utterly ridiculous. That being said, she’ll be just fine. It’s 2 games and she’ll get used to the pros soon. She’ll be fine. MVP will probably be a reach but the ROY is her trophy to lose.
These are the same people that said Rhonda rousey would beat Floyd mayweather in a boxing match 😂... They do the same ish across the sports world and entertainment! Its Yt skin hype and always the same outcome. They don't fire up the hype machine for black athletes, its expected...
I remember A.I. rookie year his team wasn't that good but he was putting up numbers that's what Caitlin needs to do just jack up shots and go for your numbers.
When DT said it about how its a different level in the league, ya mfs called her a hater and all type of sh**t and now millions are witnessing CC getting demolished wnba vets ..
Ol girl told her the WNBA is different
Some perspective: first season stats: Kelsey Plum 8.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists; Sue Bird 10.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists; Sabrina Ionescu 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.1 assists
Stephen A...she was drafted to make them good. It's double standards when you were hoping Zion Williamson would come and transform Pelicans but suddenly you are here trying to give her time. She blew 12 turnovers in 2 games.
She has to adjust she's in the real league now.
Facts
A few months ago, people were saying she would struggle a little when she got to the WNBA, and others were calling that hating. But it's an honest and realistic truth. Expecting her the jump from college to the pros and just dominate from the beginning it's not realistic. It's just a shame she got hyped like that. But she's going through now is not cause for alarm. Give her time to develop.
The clock is ticking. How long will the ticket sales increases last and how many will go to games if Caitlin isn't the PG handling the ball and allowed by her team to play her game? The problem isn't so much the full-court press, bump and run football coverage that the league is doing just to Caitlin and no one else, but it's her own team not setting picks or screens or freeing her up to create. The coach even took the ball out of her hands and made her a decoy against the Liberty and they lost by 36 points. That's not what fans paid to see.
They are guarding her like she MJ. The are double teaming, face guarding, trapping, bumping. 😂 They act like they will get a raise for making her look bad.
Right... no one paid to watch them hand check or trip and fall in slow motion.
They are not about to let her walk into the league and do whatever she wants. She’s got a target on her back with all the endorsements deals and hype. WNBA players are like we coming for you lol
They are guarding her like professional basketball players guard. The defense isn’t exclusive to her.
Naw they guarding her very different like its playoff basketball 😂@ABrooksCupid
@@reprobatemind6194basically y'all want them to let her score
Stephen A was the one that hyped her up that she going to come in here and dominate and be all of this and now he keeps saying after two games she'll be just fine. But if this was an number pick NBA player, highly touted and struggle like this he would have killed them and took back his words.
Some of the Caitlin Clark supporters were delusional. She will need some time to adapt.
Let's check back after a few months and see how the team is doing.
I noticed Iowa set a lot of picks to break some shooters including CC free to shoot. The Fever players stand around watching the game instead of moving and getting open. They seem to be a lazy team and they don't get back to defense very fast. Some people have said Boston is lazy but she seems to be the only other player playing for the Fever. The Fever coach actually told CC to stop shooting 3pt shots and pass to other players more. Sounds to me like a plan to continue to lose. Michael Jordan's Bulls had six losing seasons after he join the Bulls before they had other players like Scotty Pippen to add another scorer to the Bulls.
They should be talking about Boston and I'm not talking about the Celtics!😮
Exactly. Not what I expected to see from her at all.
She had some quick feet and hustle last year. It's like someone tied an anchor to her this season. Coach sides says she is in the best shape - so no room for improvement. Maybe she broke both of her own ankles in the offseason.
SAS trying to blame the team already is disgusting and hack analysis.
The team is awful
The team does suck did you watch them last year. I think not.
Yeah they haven't had a winning season since 2015
Ahhh shut your mouths!!!! I'm pretty sure y'all wooda said she wood take dem to the finals her first yr
??
Time will tell and I'm sure she will be a good player in the WNBA. It's the media and her fans fault for prematurely crowning her as the GOAT. She's a nice person. Her fans have proven to be less with hateful comments to anyone who dare label her as less than the GOAT.
Tim Leglur is 💯....
The coach is not doing her any justice. The coach needs to let her play the point and stop taking her out the game.
