No it’s posturing. They didn’t show if there was any contact and we don’t know what that player said to Caitlyn after she made the 3. Caitlyn stood up for herself. Caitlyn will never say anything negative about a player or coach
NaLyssa, great job running the floor to get those fast break buckets. The hustle to be there to grab those assists and get the bucket. Congrats on the 1000 career points. Wish the team got the W, but still supporting and looking forward the future.
I just watched the video replay of the double tech situation. The Sparks player shoulder bumped CC but I don't know whether the refs saw that. On the other hand, CC approached that player just before the shoulder bump.
@@richs6926 Right, I also saw what looked like Caitlin kind of running into her after she hit the shot and turned around. Seemed like an accident, the kind of thing that happens all the time, but I wonder if that was the catalyst
The wnba needs to do something about these refs. There were 4 or 5 missed calls on obvious falls on cc alone not to even mention the other miss calls for the rest of the team. It's been fever vs the refs the whole season, they are allowing teams to be over physically with the fever but not allowing them to be physical back. The possession that really made me angry was when Caitlin clearly took a charge on loyd on the post up and there was no call and then cc comes back down an clearly gets clobbered on a layup and no call. It's just absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah exactly. If you’re gonna allow it one way you have to allow it the other yet the second the fever touched their players it was a foul every freaking time. This was the worst game by far for reffing. It was out of the control. Glad coach finally just said ENOUGH
She has been bad in a lot of gamesand her turnovers are outrageous. She has played nine games and have over 50 turnovers and she doesn’t play defense except in the game a few days ago, so please the whole team has something to work on.
this schedule has been brutal, they need rest. respect for how they have made it thru this marathon. Whoever made the schedule is going to kill the golden goose.
Every team will play four games in seven days, mostly on the road. That's why the coach needs manage her minutes. Indiana plays Saturday and Sunday: if Clark plays 40 minutes Saturday she will likely play bad on Sunday.
These comments are always so brutal. Don’t be fair weather fans. This is a talented team. CC is a generational player and deserves good fans. It’s a rebuild. Stay positive. They need that. They say they don’t read what’s on socials, but they do. It’s everywhere. It’ll get better.
I’ve gained a lot of respect for Sides tonight watching her finally fight for Caitlin against the bs no calls, and then having the guts to openly criticise the officiating, schedule, and lack of practice time in the press conference. They really were dealt a shitty hand by the WNBA with this schedule, so they could squeeze as much publicity out of Clark as quickly as possible. & the refs consistently allowing her to get rocked night after night without calling it, it’s a recipe for injury and burnout. I’ve been very critical of Sides the last few games for the poor decision making and lack of assertiveness on the court, but she’s finally stepping up and fighting for her team instead of criticising them. She gained a lot of trust and respect from Caitlin, and the rest of the girls tonight. Her going to battle for them will make them want to go to battle for her in return. That’s how you build confidence, always have their backs. I hope you can block out all this negative energy and keep pushing. We’re rooting for you coach.
I have been the same when it comes to the coach and i totally agree with everything you said, i would just say give Celeste Taylor minutes because she can defend and that's where they are struggling.

Why are we not saying this about the 82 game NBA schedule ? This is what comes with evolution, they need to push push push rn. WNBA has no time for breaks. They need screen time, and probably even more games next season.
THE WNBA doesn't want Caitlin (therefore also The Fever) to win. This needs to be deeply looked into, if I am wrong so be it, but they need to look into it nevertheless. FEVER fans. Great things sometimes take time. Listen: it takes time. Some GOATS in the NBA (and other sports) have needed not only one or two seasons, but sometimes quite a few SEASONS to have winning seasons. Be patient, Caitlin will be on fire eventually, but the WNBA needs looking into by legal teams/inspectors/etc. DON'T be discouraged by the haters/racists and their comments: keep supporting CC22 and The Fever.
The WNBA needs looking into 😂, what did you think CC was just gonna come into a league full of grown women that are stronger, faster, & have been playing in the WNBA, & overseas for years & dominate? You definitely just started watching yesterday! 😂
This is the first game that I gained some respect for Coach Sides! She stood up for her players and I had not seen that prior. I agree about the referees! They need to call the game the same! CC standing up with her fire 🔥 loved it!
We drove 5 hours down from Michigan to cheer on Clark, Smith and the Fever. Being in person at the game, it was difficult watching Caitlin getting mauled all night long. Seattle played very rough and the referees just weren’t calling the fouls. It was sad. I’m happy that Caitlin and Coach Sides stood up for the team. It was rough to watch and I’m sure it was far worse to play. Overall, the Fever staff and employees treated us great and we had a great time. Thank you for the memories made. Go Fever!
CC still a dawg. Smith did great! But boy is it hard to watch CC get more and more demoralized; looks like she’s about to break down. I disagree about defense; you can be average defense with amazing offense. IMO choose an identity: double down on offense like the Mavs or Warriors. Can’t shoot 40% FG% when the other team is shooting 60%…if they made half of their 22 missed shots, that’s 11 shots == 22 points. Would have won by 8-10 points. Also can the whole team play with the same heart as Temi does?! Pls! Sad to watch for both CC and team 😔. Too much talent on this team. Have to question coaching situation. Appreciate the technical from Sides tho.
The way they’re guarding her 9 games into her career tells me everything I need to know about how much the other teams in the league fear her. It won’t mean winning basketball right now, but it’s as big of a compliment as you can give a player
I mean when the refs won't let you contest a shot without getting a foul called on you. You will stop playing defense. The refs are horrible. It is really bad
Fever had 2 months plus to study game film and plan roster for Clarks skill set...it's like moss explaining to belichek that no more 1 high safety sets , only 2 high safety defs with him on the field...
@@johntruxal432 wrong CC has only been out of collage for a month now. they had zero time as a team to study anything. you can study film all you want but if you have no time to practice its useless.
@@johntruxal432 They may have had the #1 pick but no time for Caitlin and the team to Practice. Caitlin just competed in her last college tournament 2 months ago. Hello you can have all the information you want but without practice in a new team you can’t implement anything. They are the only team that has played non stop since WNBA started this season what do you expect them to do. Sides is finally standing up for the girls and Refs are horrendous. SMH 🤦🏽♀️
CC is such a class act. I love how she holds her own. Both on and off the court. A genuine role model for our youth. Both male and female. Go Fever! 🤙🏽❤️🏀🇺🇸
Role model for our youth? F bombs, pushing players off, constantly challenging the officials, fighting with veteran players? All our youth see is a 35-40 foot basketball going in the hoop maybe 3 or 4 times a game.
for CC and fever, let ur opponents have their time it's still early and let the haters celebrate early, coz when the time is come that y'all dominate the league, let's see who's laughing now. love ya CC and fever's! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

Appreciate this so much. But if it's not too much to ask, would you be able to put this in a vid so we can all take a look at these time stamps on the games? Or if you're willing, can we maybe reach out to one of the content creators who can elaborate on these items? I for one would like to have these on video for the W and the world to notice.
Love you CC. ❤❤❤❤❤. This is your rookie season. Remember Jordan didn't win a title til his 6th year in the league. Once yall know how to play together you all will win together. Coach gotta move people them Coach gotta move people huah love you CC. Ey if the Fever to hot for you. SEATTLE a cooler place huah. 😎
I've heard a lot that the problem of this team is the defense but I disagree. In my opinion, the offense is stagnant, not a lot of players and ball movement and they've missed a lot of open shots. Anyway, I hate rooting for a losing team but it's been fun to follow the Fever. I've even subscribed Amazon Prime because of them. Cheer up, people! Things will get better eventually!
I still feel like the refs are so worried about being accused of favoring CC, so they instead allow her to be obviously fouled and don’t call anything. CC didn’t ask for all the hype. She just played her brand of hoops. Now she’s suffering from how others view her, like the refs, and like DT, and clearly like other jealous players. #0 NEVER passes to Caitlin. That player doesn’t see anything but the basket when she gets the ball. Kinda a ball hog from what I’ve seen this season. Can’t help feeling she’s worried about NOT scoring. That’s a selfish mindset. She’s forcing the game and not letting it come to her And since when do men get called for jawing at each other in the NBA? These W refs are suss. The most inconsistent I’ve ever seen at any level.
I mean, Plum is same size at 5’8” but she has a better presence in the paint and kicks it out much better. Wonder why the coach doesn’t tell her to stop doing that.
Yes Clark don’t stand down keep your incredible attitude persevering forward don’t forget you you truly are incredible basketball 🏀 Athlete that you stand all your life keep pushing your talent forward beautiful. Some of your need to be more better and stronger see your body language see your frustration, but things will change manager over will fix that must talk to manager. Don’t be afraid to talk to them or people just like you and the coach to bring better players on your team. I think you’ll take about a year or two and you’ll have your team Clark Kaitlyn, Clark I love you girl Canada, Toronto Ontario
Does there have to be both pre and post interviews every game? It seems unnecessary and exhausting for them. Caitlin mentioned she has talked to the media more than her family over the past few weeks and that is just sad
I can't stand these stupid reporters and their stupid softball questions that they keep asking. This team has some serious defensive problems. I wish somebody would please ask Coach Sides why she keeps sitting C. Taylor (a two-time NCAA Defensive Player of the Year) on the bench.
This team needs another voice as head coach and a new offensive and defensive scheme. Because anyone that knows anything about basketball can see that this coach do not know what she is doing. And I’m still wondering why she has not given Celeste Taylor a chance out there. The young lady is known for her defense. Clark’s confidence looks shot.
Fever needs to hire a coach who’s aggressive and demanding who demands accountability. Fever needs to find out who really wants to stay and who wants to be somewhere else. Sure the coach will wear on everybody but at that point the coach will find out who’s with the program and who should be elsewhere.
The other night, Boston almost had her shoulder pulled out of joint by a chick that wouldn't let her go after a block. I don't think that was even called. CC is getting fouled constantly, as teams double and triple team her, but no whistles. If the Fever brush hands with a player they're getting called for fouls. CC is hoing to end up hurt, really hurt, because refs aren't doing their jobs, and the league in general is allowing shit like Thomas grabbing Reese and throwing her down by the neck, without a single suspension. They need to put their foot down, and say play basketball, but this ain't football, and if you start hurting players on any team, you'll be suspended. Accidents happen, it's a sport, but you shouldn't have your shoulder pulled out of joint or a concussion from overly aggressive players.
Exactly!! She’s only doing it now cause she’s getting destroyed on social media about not standing up for her players! Congratulations Sides, you FINALLY did what you should’ve been doing all along!! I still say FIRE Sides!
Has everyone seen how all the teams they’ve played seem to run offenses much more productive than the Fever? As in screens…. And when you look at the Fever they are always predictable..they don’t have CC running off screen after screen ala Steph Curry… many times when she dribbles around a screen and gets into the paint she should pull up and shoot a midrange j … coach doesn’t seem to run the offense to capitalize on CC’s quick release. Also … we all know CC is great going left and likes going left pulling back to take her 3…. I looked closely and most of the offensive sets had her going right. One more thing. … Fever players don’t set HARD screens. That would do wonders and especially if they set them multiple times in an offensive set.
Stop the Cap she has no left unless your being Sarcastic and making a Joke she is predictable,She needs a Midrange and she has to dribble left and go down hill even if she misses
Keep your heads up. Officials are terrible, waiting for one of the rookies to get hurt due to the over aggressive play. Glad to finally see Sides stand up for the players. Stay positive
It's going to happen..they are all targets but most of all Caitlin.her millions of fans and supporters have had it with all the hating bias and bullshit!!!!!!
Love Sides energy! Finally Fighting for her players! Love it! 💚🍀Shooting coach, the girls got to hit those open shots! Have everyone take extra shooting practice
Coach was right to keep CC out. CC didn't do anything aggregious tonight whatsoever, and kept her turnover/assist ratio within a very acceptable range (which is the biggest thing she's criticized about).
They barely have a chance to work with each other outside of games. The schedule is too stacked. We’re literally watching them figure it out before our eyes. I think I can extend some grace towards that. I also feel like the practice squad needs to be a bit more aggressive with them during practice and shooting practice will definitely help
FINALLY days off next week. Right after ANOTHER back to back this weekend 🤦♀️ first time this season. They’ve been playing every second day and already two back to backs. That’s ridiculous. Hopefully we’ll see them looking a bit refreshed after that. I want to see Caitlin at the Olympics obviously but dam…that month off could do her wonders. It’s been absolutely non stop since the ncaa tournament between media, flying all over the place, the crazy schedule for the fever. And then the unprecedented defence on her. I actually watch the entire wnba and I genuinely haven’t seen anybody get guarded and double teamed the way she is.
With the Pacers already on their offseason, I wonder if some of them would like to play the defenders during practice. Of course this is more than likely wishful thinking but if they're willing... 'cause the practice guys that we've seen seem to go at half-speed only. That really doesn't help the Fever in the long run.
today’s coaching by fever staff was very hard to watch. Sure they didn’t get calls, but the scheme still sucks…..this offense is stuck. CC said @ on court interview, she’s been watching a lot of Steph curry film to study him, but coach doesn’t even scheme her open correctly for her to even have curry-like success so it’s almost like she’s just being met with a lot of resistance right now. The crazy thing about it all……. Getting her open consistently wouldn’t even be hard if Sides just changed the scheme
CC... So honest and accountable... but come on... she's so humble and all about those that follow her... she's got to be so tired! You see that and yet throwing nobody under the bus.
WTH is going on with these REFS??? 😡The crap has to stop! 📣#LinDunn get on the phone and DO something about it!! My fam is here for CC first, Fever second!! Your coach and her squad is a dumpster without #22!! Keep your head up CC!!💪 Stay locked in girl, the wins are coming!! Thank you Nalyssa for showing up 👏 #REFSareTrash #FireSides #FireDunn #WhereIsEnglebert
The Fever always seem to have a 3 to 4 minute stretch where everything collapses and it starts on the defensive side. Toooooo many easy shots. Critical turnovers.
You're the same clown who says Mitchell needs the ball more over CC. The defense sucks because you can't run two guards with bad on-ball defense. At least CC plays good help defense can challenge shots with her height and rebound. Mitchell gives you nothing on the defensive end. Celeste Taylor is a defensive force and can take the other team's best guard out of the game so CC can play help defense. Then this team can run 🏃🏽
Exactly! Why keep Clark in the entire game tonight when it was obvious in the 4th that they weren’t going to win? Doesn’t make up for taking her out the other night at a crucial time against the Sparks. Two very different situations which call for different strategies.
Celeste Taylor is the key 🔑 to unlocking this team's defense but the coach won't play her. Mitchell is too small and has zero defense forcing CC to play the other team's best guard, how dumb & stupid can one be?
Always comes back to defensive play. My question is why does the @IndianaFever have a defensive player of the year sitting on the bench. Give her a chance. Celeste Taylor
We love you guys... hang in there. Just hang in there. They're guarding CC like she's Fort Knox.
And at the same time they pretend that she's not special. Just another rookie. 🙄
It's called Basketball.....Duh!!
Seeing Clark stand her ground against her opponent made me very proud. Fight back!
That's thuggish and classless when some people do it 😂😊😂 you people lol

People are pounding Caitlin big time and don't get called for foul. When she just barely touches the defender, she gets called.
Exactly! Call it both ways however you’re calling it. Either call it tight or let it go on both sides. Ridiculously one sided in this game
Exactly! It sucks! I want to stop watching! I left second half
I really liked her answer to the double tech foul question, she kept it short and to the point, without trash talk
Very well media trained

NaLyssa was fire as always.
We drove 5 hours down from Michigan to cheer on Clark, Smith and the Fever. Being in person at the game, it was difficult watching Caitlin getting mauled all night long. Seattle played very rough and the referees just weren’t calling the fouls. It was sad. I’m happy that Caitlin and Coach Sides stood up for the team. It was rough to watch and I’m sure it was far worse to play.
Overall, the Fever staff and employees treated us great and we had a great time. Thank you for the memories made. Go Fever!
CC still a dawg. Smith did great! But boy is it hard to watch CC get more and more demoralized; looks like she’s about to break down. I disagree about defense; you can be average defense with amazing offense. IMO choose an identity: double down on offense like the Mavs or Warriors. Can’t shoot 40% FG% when the other team is shooting 60%…if they made half of their 22 missed shots, that’s 11 shots == 22 points. Would have won by 8-10 points. Also can the whole team play with the same heart as Temi does?! Pls! Sad to watch for both CC and team 😔. Too much talent on this team. Have to question coaching situation. Appreciate the technical from Sides tho.
The way they’re guarding her 9 games into her career tells me everything I need to know about how much the other teams in the league fear her. It won’t mean winning basketball right now, but it’s as big of a compliment as you can give a player
I mean when the refs won't let you contest a shot without getting a foul called on you. You will stop playing defense. The refs are horrible. It is really bad
Never EVER start a sentence with I mean! What's wrong with everyone and this bad habit???
Temi was definitely missed in this game.
Well not really as Smith stepped up big!
Shouldn’t take this long for Christie to wake up. You haven’t been getting many calls not just this game. Plenty of games before this.
Fever had 2 months plus to study game film and plan roster for Clarks skill set...it's like moss explaining to belichek that no more 1 high safety sets , only 2 high safety defs with him on the field...
@@johntruxal432 wrong CC has only been out of collage for a month now. they had zero time as a team to study anything. you can study film all you want but if you have no time to practice its useless.
@@michellmorales6393 they had the #1 overall pick before march...think before you type...😂
@@johntruxal432 They may have had the #1 pick but no time for Caitlin and the team to Practice. Caitlin just competed in her last college tournament 2 months ago. Hello you can have all the information you want but without practice in a new team you can’t implement anything. They are the only team that has played non stop since WNBA started this season what do you expect them to do. Sides is finally standing up for the girls and Refs are horrendous. SMH 🤦🏽♀️
She has been awake. You don’t even know what’s going on behind closed doors. Just making baseless comments.
Head up, guys!!!! We'll always love you!!!
CC is such a class act. I love how she holds her own. Both on and off the court. A genuine role model for our youth. Both male and female. Go Fever! 🤙🏽❤️🏀🇺🇸
Role model for our youth? F bombs, pushing players off, constantly challenging the officials, fighting with veteran players? All our youth see is a 35-40 foot basketball going in the hoop maybe 3 or 4 times a game.
I got ticks to see both games in the ATL. Love CC. Hope it all comes together but we will support her.
Keep fighting! We are here for the ride! Ups, downs, successes, and failures!
I love how Sides is fighting for her team in this game, and in this interview.
Yes finally a real coach!!!
Horrific coach and CC is under attack from players , coaches ,media and refs, how the coach isn't fired yet is mind blowing
Who is CC under attack by? Coaches have players have said great things about her 99.9% of the time. Stop buying into media propaganda
What you just said is the media propaganda, watch the game and see for yourself
for CC and fever, let ur opponents have their time it's still early and let the haters celebrate early, coz when the time is come that y'all dominate the league, let's see who's laughing now. love ya CC and fever's! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

Appreciate this so much. But if it's not too much to ask, would you be able to put this in a vid so we can all take a look at these time stamps on the games? Or if you're willing, can we maybe reach out to one of the content creators who can elaborate on these items? I for one would like to have these on video for the W and the world to notice.
This is a coach problem!! We are with you CC..
Love you CC. ❤❤❤❤❤. This is your rookie season. Remember Jordan didn't win a title til his 6th year in the league. Once yall know how to play together you all will win together. Coach gotta move people them Coach gotta move people huah love you CC. Ey if the Fever to hot for you. SEATTLE a cooler place huah. 😎
I've heard a lot that the problem of this team is the defense but I disagree. In my opinion, the offense is stagnant, not a lot of players and ball movement and they've missed a lot of open shots. Anyway, I hate rooting for a losing team but it's been fun to follow the Fever. I've even subscribed Amazon Prime because of them. Cheer up, people! Things will get better eventually!
Let’s go Fever! Keep pushing and stay positive things will get better.‼️💙💛❤️
I think they'll eventually get it. It's just not sticking right now.
The Fever needs to draft a linebacker the way these refs officiate.
I still feel like the refs are so worried about being accused of favoring CC, so they instead allow her to be obviously fouled and don’t call anything. CC didn’t ask for all the hype. She just played her brand of hoops. Now she’s suffering from how others view her, like the refs, and like DT, and clearly like other jealous players. #0 NEVER passes to Caitlin. That player doesn’t see anything but the basket when she gets the ball. Kinda a ball hog from what I’ve seen this season. Can’t help feeling she’s worried about NOT scoring. That’s a selfish mindset. She’s forcing the game and not letting it come to her
And since when do men get called for jawing at each other in the NBA? These W refs are suss. The most inconsistent I’ve ever seen at any level.
I mean, Plum is same size at 5’8” but she has a better presence in the paint and kicks it out much better. Wonder why the coach doesn’t tell her to stop doing that.
Yes Clark don’t stand down keep your incredible attitude persevering forward don’t forget you you truly are incredible basketball 🏀 Athlete that you stand all your life keep pushing your talent forward beautiful. Some of your need to be more better and stronger see your body language see your frustration, but things will change manager over will fix that must talk to manager. Don’t be afraid to talk to them or people just like you and the coach to bring better players on your team. I think you’ll take about a year or two and you’ll have your team Clark Kaitlyn, Clark I love you girl Canada, Toronto Ontario
Does there have to be both pre and post interviews every game? It seems unnecessary and exhausting for them. Caitlin mentioned she has talked to the media more than her family over the past few weeks and that is just sad
I can't stand these stupid reporters and their stupid softball questions that they keep asking. This team has some serious defensive problems. I wish somebody would please ask Coach Sides why she keeps sitting C. Taylor (a two-time NCAA Defensive Player of the Year) on the bench.
AMEN to that, it's ridiculous.
This team needs another voice as head coach and a new offensive and defensive scheme. Because anyone that knows anything about basketball can see that this coach do not know what she is doing. And I’m still wondering why she has not given Celeste Taylor a chance out there. The young lady is known for her defense. Clark’s confidence looks shot.
Fever needs to hire a coach who’s aggressive and demanding who demands accountability. Fever needs to find out who really wants to stay and who wants to be somewhere else. Sure the coach will wear on everybody but at that point the coach will find out who’s with the program and who should be elsewhere.
@@DANIELMOY-tz1fu They definitely need a change for sure.
@@DANIELMOY-tz1fu100%. Coach needs to be ruthless to win. Aces already make a trade. Lots of individual talent that don’t complement each other.
The other night, Boston almost had her shoulder pulled out of joint by a chick that wouldn't let her go after a block. I don't think that was even called. CC is getting fouled constantly, as teams double and triple team her, but no whistles. If the Fever brush hands with a player they're getting called for fouls. CC is hoing to end up hurt, really hurt, because refs aren't doing their jobs, and the league in general is allowing shit like Thomas grabbing Reese and throwing her down by the neck, without a single suspension. They need to put their foot down, and say play basketball, but this ain't football, and if you start hurting players on any team, you'll be suspended. Accidents happen, it's a sport, but you shouldn't have your shoulder pulled out of joint or a concussion from overly aggressive players.
Coach should have been complaining about the touch calls game 1.
Exactly!! She’s only doing it now cause she’s getting destroyed on social media about not standing up for her players! Congratulations Sides, you FINALLY did what you should’ve been doing all along!! I still say FIRE Sides!
okay Sides, I think i’m starting to see your fire burn 🔥 keep it going!
Has everyone seen how all the teams they’ve played seem to run offenses much more productive than the Fever? As in screens…. And when you look at the Fever they are always predictable..they don’t have CC running off screen after screen ala Steph Curry… many times when she dribbles around a screen and gets into the paint she should pull up and shoot a midrange j … coach doesn’t seem to run the offense to capitalize on CC’s quick release. Also … we all know CC is great going left and likes going left pulling back to take her 3…. I looked closely and most of the offensive sets had her going right. One more thing. … Fever players don’t set HARD screens. That would do wonders and especially if they set them multiple times in an offensive set.
Yes exactly. They need a big ol' dose of Back to the Fundamentals!!
Great analysis!!!
Stop the Cap she has no left unless your being Sarcastic and making a Joke she is predictable,She needs a Midrange and she has to dribble left and go down hill even if she misses
Keep your heads up. Officials are terrible, waiting for one of the rookies to get hurt due to the over aggressive play. Glad to finally see Sides stand up for the players. Stay positive
It's going to happen..they are all targets but most of all Caitlin.her millions of fans and supporters have had it with all the hating bias and bullshit!!!!!!
It's like Groundhog Day... they're answering the same questions every session
You can see that in Caitlin face….she just over most of these questions.
That's every sport. You'd think they'd ask better questions when it's literally their only job
Give the refs hell! Also Spicy Clark tonight good seeing people showing some fire.. 🔥
tho hard to watch them lose, and frustrating, still rooting for this team
You expect some losses but when it is due from having an inexperienced coach that is different.
@@lindysmallwood2039 Last night was very hard to watch but Caitlin was in nearly the whole game and I didn't want to miss a play!
Y'all should be use to it by now.... They've had 8
Love Sides energy! Finally Fighting for her players! Love it! 💚🍀Shooting coach, the girls got to hit those open shots! Have everyone take extra shooting practice
Spicy CC22. Fan forever!!!
CC needs a long break from these media after games... she looks frustrated and tired of answering Y'ALL same questions over and over
More than sickening at this point
Opponents double, triple teaming Caitlin. Coach Sides needs to come up with plays to take advantage of that. Go Fever!
Its okay Feverr! It will come. Failures is the key to success. Just believe Fever!
You need to see a doctor.... Because you have a Fever.
Thanks coach. Thanks ladies keep on fighting. We here for that . Behind you
CC22 is tired. Team need to protect her.
The team can't protect her against bad officiating.
Great commentary about the game and the season so far. Keep fighting and the rhythm will come.
Great answers cc and Nylyssa
I know she and this whole team have a ways to go, but I do want to see Sides make it as a coach with this team.
Caitlin wants to come out WEST.❤❤❤❤ we'll love to have her too huah.
Then go on out West, CC. Go on...
Great first half! Need the entire team to fight like hell for both halfs! Oh yea these WNBA refs really suck!🤬🤮🤮
Hang in there ladies!!!
Hang in there, praying the coach learns how to use the bench to rest the starters and especially
CC.
Coach was right to keep CC out. CC didn't do anything aggregious tonight whatsoever, and kept her turnover/assist ratio within a very acceptable range (which is the biggest thing she's criticized about).
Fever going to be just fine Takes time
No there not fuckin sucks
@@caketv5860
Pro Tip:
Stop listening to that voice in your head. It belongs to a fool!🙄
once they get in rotation together they will be unstoppable
Not this year this roster is bad real bad.
They barely have a chance to work with each other outside of games. The schedule is too stacked. We’re literally watching them figure it out before our eyes. I think I can extend some grace towards that. I also feel like the practice squad needs to be a bit more aggressive with them during practice and shooting practice will definitely help
Definitely
FINALLY days off next week. Right after ANOTHER back to back this weekend 🤦♀️ first time this season. They’ve been playing every second day and already two back to backs. That’s ridiculous. Hopefully we’ll see them looking a bit refreshed after that. I want to see Caitlin at the Olympics obviously but dam…that month off could do her wonders. It’s been absolutely non stop since the ncaa tournament between media, flying all over the place, the crazy schedule for the fever. And then the unprecedented defence on her. I actually watch the entire wnba and I genuinely haven’t seen anybody get guarded and double teamed the way she is.
With the Pacers already on their offseason, I wonder if some of them would like to play the defenders during practice. Of course this is more than likely wishful thinking but if they're willing... 'cause the practice guys that we've seen seem to go at half-speed only. That really doesn't help the Fever in the long run.
Why is Boston never running the floor for fast break passes?
Simple, because she's DEFENDING under the basket when no one else is.
today’s coaching by fever staff was very hard to watch. Sure they didn’t get calls, but the scheme still sucks…..this offense is stuck. CC said @ on court interview, she’s been watching a lot of Steph curry film to study him, but coach doesn’t even scheme her open correctly for her to even have curry-like success so it’s almost like she’s just being met with a lot of resistance right now. The crazy thing about it all…….
Getting her open consistently wouldn’t even be hard if Sides just changed the scheme
CC... So honest and accountable... but come on... she's so humble and all about those that follow her... she's got to be so tired! You see that and yet throwing nobody under the bus.
humble?!😂
Can we PLEASE get past "everything" Clark. There are other human beings on this team.
5:52 poor girl holding back tears.
She is losing her fire. Her body language speaks volumes.
She sounds defeated.
I agree. I wish they would give her a break from having to have the camera in her face after every game.
She won’t ever lose her fire. She’s just annoyed af
All the way to the bank, she's not defeated, she's in the WNBA now. Get used to it.
9 freaking games. Brutal.
WTH is going on with these REFS??? 😡The crap has to stop! 📣#LinDunn get on the phone and DO something about it!!
My fam is here for CC first, Fever second!! Your coach and her squad is a dumpster without #22!!
Keep your head up CC!!💪 Stay locked in girl, the wins are coming!! Thank you Nalyssa for showing up 👏
#REFSareTrash

#WhereIsEnglebert
Don’t let them bring you down CC !!!!!!!
The Fever always seem to have a 3 to 4 minute stretch where everything collapses and it starts on the defensive side. Toooooo many easy shots. Critical turnovers.
You're the same clown who says Mitchell needs the ball more over CC. The defense sucks because you can't run two guards with bad on-ball defense. At least CC plays good help defense can challenge shots with her height and rebound. Mitchell gives you nothing on the defensive end. Celeste Taylor is a defensive force and can take the other team's best guard out of the game so CC can play help defense. Then this team can run 🏃🏽
@@SamSanatorium But Sides prefers to play Berger who is NOT a defensive force such as Taylor.
I don’t think Clark got any rest at all in that game, but you got Celeste on the bench
Doesn't seem to make much sense at all, especially knowing Celeste is a defensive threat that if given the chance could make some stops.
she put Celeste in the last 47 seconds. Like really.
Exactly! Why keep Clark in the entire game tonight when it was obvious in the 4th that they weren’t going to win? Doesn’t make up for taking her out the other night at a crucial time against the Sparks. Two very different situations which call for different strategies.
OK these reporters are pretty lame.
I'm out, this is torture. See you all later. I'll be back when they get a new coach
Bye
Celeste Taylor is the key 🔑 to unlocking this team's defense but the coach won't play her. Mitchell is too small and has zero defense forcing CC to play the other team's best guard, how dumb & stupid can one be?
Always comes back to defensive play. My question is why does the @IndianaFever have a defensive player of the year sitting on the bench. Give her a chance. Celeste Taylor
