Christie Sides FINALLY Did it... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is hated by WNBA players. Caitlin Clark was drafted number 1 by the indiana fever after being one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. WNBA players like A'Ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and Sue bird are not fans of the number 1 pick.

a stat that isnt shown is lexie hull just didnt stop running, her play style tired out whoever was on her
Nice one
Yes! I want to see Lexie starting!
Whoever she was on? She stopped the Sabrina right when Sabrina started taking over! 😁 I think Sabrina only had two baskets when Hull came in and guarded her.
I also think that Lexie brings that hype man factor. She is always out there passionately cheering on everyone. I think the whole team benefits from it. But CC definitely needs someone to cheer on her successes and pull her out of her self-criticizing-analyze-every-mistake spiral like Martin used to. Boston has definitely been stepping up to cheer on her successes especially in the press. Lexie's passion def pumps CC up on the court.
I feel like Christie is being forced to coach this way because Caitlin wants to win, and the team has started to play to Caitlin’s strengths. Her teammates are sold because winning is fun.
You said it right at the end, Mick. Let Caitlin Clark be Caitlin Clark. If Sides does that, her team will be successful.
Erica Wheeler, and Wallace don't need to be on the court with caitlin clark, lexie Hull and cc plays good together
Time and place. Wallace had no business being a starter, but you put these two in to rest someone else, when there's a super comfortable lead, or if there's a specific matchup that works.
Wheeler and Wallace together is a huge problem. Take away AB at the same time and you get the erosion of your lead every time.
@@earlewilliams4262I think Wheeler scored 2 points last game. She is good driving to the basket and can run the floor and thats where the compliments stop. She has no court vision awareness which is pivotal for a guard. I watched her make so many head scratching plays on numerous occasions. I watched her pass Smith the ball while Smith was triple teamed and Clark is wide open lol. 😂 Just terrible stuff fam.
Sides' good decisions are like Bob Ross' trees.... happy accidents lmao
LOL
spot on. Pure luck. Sides has no clue (probably got a call from Bluder).
😂
Shout-out to Kelsey Mitchell for recording her 1st career assist today
Will there be a parade?
😂😂😂
Ya know I’m starting to believe this team isn’t as good without Kelsey.
😂😂👏🏽
ha nice
I watched your live game today. nothing shut up the CC haters faster than when the Fever took the lead in the 4th. It was glorious.
Crazy what happens when you use common sense.. Those girls shouldn’t touch the floor
😂
We not giving Sides any credit for doing common sense things....Fans have been calling for Wheeler and Wallace to go all season
Caitlin Clark made that decision. CC is controlling the Indiana Fever. Side's is a prop.
Maybe she read some you tube post lol
Clark lead the floor for Iowa thats why shes no1 in draft!!
More like the team pleaded with her to let them run! A family member that cleans the lockers overhead them arguing when they didn't know that person was around. They pleaded with Coach Sides to just let them run, what did they have to lose? She said I already gave you two days off and now you want to coach? They said no, just minor adjustments but let them run as much as possible. Which she said you all better run and keep moving make them tired then, that's your plan? Let's try it but with control.
Wallace cant make open shots and misses easy layups and Max contract dribbles and loses the ball, it was so frustrating to watch. I hope from now on this is the norm.
Hull would be starting for a real coach that actually puts the team first.
If KLS and Wallace aren’t going to score anyways, why not put our best perimeter defender out there. Hull’s offense isn’t great but just from hustle alone she’ll give you 6 points in half a game. If shot starter minutes and contributed 8-10 pts that would be awesome.
Hull started 25 of 36 games for the 13 win Fever last year
@@tdsportscards She didn’t have CC distributing the ball last year 😁
Lexi Hull turned the level of play when she came in. That 3rd quarter was unwatchable based who was on floor for the Fever.
Coaches can’t have favorites and Principles should not have favorites in their school. It’s just not cool.
finally Christie did something right.. she still needs to be replaced as HC
Why did she not challenge the "not of bounds" save by Mitchell? yet challenged an obvious clean screen play conducted by Liberty?
4 point swing!
Loved what Lexie Hull did in this game. Missed her 2 shots earlier, NY forgot about her
after that. She gets 8 points and NY loses by 5 points. I think she played very well.
The Fever need to run, run and run if they want to win.
They also need to play defense. They got lucky the liberty missed so many open shots.
Sides has a paper-thin playbook, so running and letting CC create offense is their best bet. It's not a formula for a championship team or long-run success, but for now, with Sides at the helm, it's the best shot they have.
Yep, Iowa ball!
spread the floor and good thing's happen. get's CC free of double+triple team's, open's up other player's for the pass's. get's you more room for mid and long shot's.
The WNBA has too many veterans. Run up and down and fast break all the time and you tire out those dinosaurs!
Lexie Hull has a teammate that helps her maximize her playing style. Now if the coach will catch up… 😊
Katie Lou is a great shooter but is coming off a long break due to her pregnancy. She will get much better and has height at 6 3, and can handle CC's long passes. A great target.
Mick, did you see the locker room footage of CC getting showered with water and cheers from her teasmates? And her response to that? "Great job everbody" Somehow that is a lot different from AR saying "I'm a dawg" A lot more "me, me, me", and no "My team helped me".
..they're beginning to see what they have on their team, which is all good; run and hustle, all they need to do..but Sides had to put the right people on the floor for this, and she did on this game..hope she remembers//
Truth!!!,Caitlin is so humble!!
Love Lexi hull should start
CC led team in points, assists, rebounds, steals,
I would hope so. She played 38 minutes and handles the ball nearly every time down the floor and never gets challenged for defensive rebounds.
The rotations and player mix was good today.
So she does know what needs to be done. Sides is a snake... Coach Witherspoon isn't going to be happy with Sides at all... no spooning in their future!
@@NickCager ain’t that the truth. Pretty obvious last game
Mitchell & Wheeler play absolutely NO team ball. Once they receive the ball they’re shooting it.
Mitchell is not a bad fit to play with clark, there could be better fits. Though those players are locked on current teams. Best incoming college player to pair with cc in backcourt would be paige
Wheeler and Wallace sit and they beat the top team #1 in the WNBA . Sides finally got it. Miracles do happen. Wow. Caitlin Clark is the real leader of this team. Wheeler isn’t bad for basketball she’s bad for this team. Wallace just needs to sit too. Play the other bench players
Indeed. Now that we recognize who is really running this team, can we give CC Sides' 500K salary, and give SIdes CC's 76K salary?
She needs to get rid of one of them or both and bring back C. Taylor.
@@littlegmod i agree. Hull can play defense. That is exactly what they need
@@francesw.6774 Caitlin Clark plays Chess and the rest play Checkers I could not agree more
@@leroywicks3277 Yes, and Taylor can play defense but Sides had to let somebody go in order to make room for Dantas (who was on a suspended contract because of a knee injury). Once Dantas recovered, they had too many on the team and that is why Sides said "it was a business decision" because they had no choice but to let somebody go. In my opinion, they let the wrong person go. Should have let Wallace or Wheeler go but they are both Sides' " gal pals" from Atlanta.
Great moves finally by the coaching staff. This is all we ask for of them.
Lexi run all day Hull did her thang
They both need to be starters and not smith
Hull was defensive player of the year in Athletes in Action last year
Unfortunately Sides will not learn anything from this game. Every game she rotates one to two spots. Just saw the Liberty Press Conference. Press or Liberty never mentioned CC. TBH that has been the norm in the press conferences. The opposing team rarely ever say something about her and they never say her name. Crazy.
Well, their star Stewart damned CC with faint praise: "She has shooting range" while lavishing praise on Angel Reese (yet, they give CC defensive attention like she is the reincarnation of vintage Michael Jordan). Yeah, not that great, not Rookie of the Year, not an Olympian. Even after Clark scorched them with a triple double and led her team to taking down the #1 Liberty. They just can't stand how talented and popular and successful she is. Stupid, petty, and bitter.
Well, in their defense, being the #1 team in the league and being scorched by the first rookie to ever record a triple double, saying her name would probably make them choke.
@@CharlieBrown-qd8vclol
Now get rid of both of both of them and let Mitchell know if she doesn't starts passing the ball and playing as a team she will join Wheeler and Wallace
Idk, i was like everyone else with Mitchell, but she made some critical plays and some big shots today. I think having her on the court when you cant get it to Boston in the post and you got 2-3 players glued to Clark is beneficial. Having someone out there like her, with good looks and open lanes, can keep the defense honest. I do still think she needs to do a better job of realizing when something isnt there and pass it off.
Facts I been saying that since the 0-5 start
Oh Please. Kelsey tied the game. I’m sure she won’t be going anywhere unless she wants to be traded.
Actually Sides benched Kelsey Mitchell for the rest of the first half a couple games ago when she wouldn't play team ball. Then in the second half, Mitchell played team ball, got her looks from within the offense, and played well and scored within the offense. I was SHOCKED that Christie Sides actually did this. IIRC it was the Phoenix game that Fever won at Phoenix. Pls correct me if that's the wrong game.
Mitchell is starting to get it..her two assists were dimes to AB down the stretch.
Smart move for Christie Sides by benching those two players until they are better prepared to play or cut them loose. This may have saved Christie's job unless Christie pulls more boners during the season. For me today's team showed me the first string .
Is it a "smart" move when you are the head coach and it took you half a season to figure this out and casual fans figured out the need for this long before you did?
😊@@francesw.6774
Every other game she goes away from what works. Wheeler and especially Wallace will play huge minutes next game.
@@francesw.6774 Blind squirrel, broken clock, etc.
The way CS put together her lineups this season is not that far off from someone rolling dice.
If they started Lexi more this team would be a whole lot better
So. How about that triple double?
😂😂😂
Mick I enjoy listening to you as well as Ben Daniels. Ya both talk hoops.
yep for sure
Sides can grow. Only her third season as a head coach. No coach is prepared for Clark until Clark prepares them.
Pretty sure Sides prepares for games by going online, "hey chatGPT. how do the Indiana Fever beat their next opponent?"
Unless you're counting Sides' time as a JV high school coach (this is the only other time she was a head coach), this is Sides' second year as head coach of the Fever.
Sure, Sides can grow and so can any other coach out there. The ability to grow should be expected with ANY coach, it's not a unique ability.
I disagree with the notion that no coach is prepared for a player like Clark. I've listened to interviews with coaches who say that would've loved to coach CC, including Jim Boeheim and Coach K. I'm sure Becky Hammon has a pretty good understanding of CC as well. You think coaches like that would be unprepared for CC? Sure it's not fair to compare Sides to legendary coaches like that (and Boeheim and Coach K are retired), but the point is that CC is not some unknown player (like she was when she showed up at Iowa - Lisa Bluder never had a player like CC before). Any coach that you would hire would know who CC is and have a plan about how to get the most out of CC (and Boston, Mitchell, etc).
If you look at an area Sides has really struggled at, it's things like coming up with a play after calling a timeout. Often times it completely falls apart and they can't execute it at all.
The execution in the half court offense has not been good. The execution has improved since the season started, but when the season started it was so awful that it was really difficult to watch -- it could only get better, and it has.
Sides doesn't utilize her timeouts well to try and slow down the opponents momentum. She doesn't know when to challenge plays. She doesn't stick up for a her players. She's really awful with what she says about players to the media.
She's shown a lot of favoritism towards Wallace and Wheeler. Fans have been pleading for Sides to play Hull more for weeks now.
Grace Berger is a much better player than Erica Wheeler. Berger has had no chance to sharpen her skills with game action. She only plays in blowouts (when the Fever are losing big, or up big -- either way, not a great, competitive situation). Do you think Berger is getting better or worse this season under Sides? Wheeler is likely not going to be back next year. She's in the last year of her contract and they aren't going to re-up her $200K+ contract to sit on the bench. Who will be the backup point guard next year? You're far better off giving Berger Wheeler's minutes and seeing what Berger has. It'll be better from a future planning standpoint to figure out what you have in Berger going forward.
Honestly, what has Sides done well? What has she excelled at, in your opinion?
I don't like calling for a coach to be fired. The NBA is a joke with the coaching carousel that goes on there, but it seems clear to me that you could certainly find a coach who could do better than Sides. The Fever head coaching job would be a desirable position for many coaches given their talent and the fame that would come from coaching this team. There's a real risk that Sides is not good at developing talent. Do you want to waste meaningful years of players' careers while Sides "figures it out"?
She’s icing her best player. Absolutely trash
@@ShaunHensley That's changing. She is growing into her role and the team is embracing a new paradigm.
@@jeffreypierce1440 It’s not changing. There have been prior instances when she seemed to be pulling her head out, only to revert back to taking the ball out of CC’s hands.
She.is.garbage.
K Mitchell does not pass to C. Clark
She loves going 1v5
@@philipsnelson9235 yep, she did it again today, do you notice that instead of passing it, she'll do a loop around the paint and attempt a drive to the basket. one time she actually scored when she ignored passing and did the "Paint Loop", but she's over her skis.
Yup she’s the first who needs to go
Thank god!! She finally put the best players on the court.
KLS is getting better. Remember she's coming back from pregnancy.
Great video! I agree with you about Wallace and Wheeler. Sit CC with 2 minutes left in the 1st QTR and 3 minutes left in the 3 QTR and play Wheeler. Still need Kelsey to attack the basket when her number is called but she did have clutch 3 at the end. Katie Lue is a cutie, and her being your WORST player on the floor is good. She is smart, an okay defender in the paint and outside can create space and hits occasional 3s. Boston has been the best player all year. Smith is finding her groove and being more of a PF, getting easy shots at the rim rather than a 3-point shooter, which she can be.
Imagine what Mark Jackson could do with this team.
Yeah! Good decisions! 😂😂
She put Wheeler and Wallace at the end of the first quarter just to watch her ~10 point lead dissolve! Later she chose not to challenge that call on KM stepping on the line! 😂😂
Kristy Wallace is a very good b-ball player and one heck of a fighter. She's worked her way thru some devasating injuries to even be playing at all; the fact that she is playing at the WNBA level is a huge credit to who she is. Kristy will also be representing her home country on the Australian Olympic team coming up this summer. #LayOffTheHate
Could you please make a video explaining things like WNBA salary cap, supermax vs maximum salary, how rookie contracts work, etc? Thank you and your channel rocks!
The day the season ends cut Wallace and if she's available bring back Celeste. This team could really use a stopper and I just can't see them signing a top tier defender for next year.
I understand that you as a creator have to make daily videos to grow, so its always nice when we see some actual progress or change in the sport and I get to see the views jump on your video. Keep it up!
Here is what is so amazing of what they did…there was a stretch in the 3rd where Indiana couldn’t make a layup and were seemingly giving the game away with missing bunnies and turning the ball over. This team still doesn’t play tremendously start ball, and defensively is as bad as it gets with help defense. They literally watch people go to the rim for layups and watch. Then they are down 11 in the 4th and our score the Liberty by 16 in the final 8 mins and look like a different team. It was very impressive. This team is just so darn streaky. It’s either really good or gets really bad. Clark still needs to shoot more. Today she finally shot more. But many of them were forced cause they still don’t run actions for her. She passed up multiple open looks that she needs to take.
Ny was betting on sides to direct but instead let CC direct. Right from the start cc 3 boom, next cc a two, boom. That's what the fans paid to come see, and We all got are money's worth and then some big booms. The W from top rank team. Boom. CC stacking records tike a jukebox, Boom.
You guys are coaching her up through your podcasts , keep up the good work
Block shots - - -Caitlin Clark 17. ........ Angel Reese 3 ....... nobody mentions it
As advertised all year where is hull berger and Celeste well they let Celeste go. Where is berger now Dantas played good today should have got more minutes
The big thing is 20 points off the bench,that a big thing.😱😨👍😀
After that spanking @Vegas, Sides had no alternative and allowed CC to take over as floor general. They all did.
Great game coach!!!!
Good team lineup. Like hull in their.
That was the game in Iowa: give the back to Caitlin and let her run the show. The last two years Iowa also had Molly Davis who is not the floor commando that Caitlin Clark is but Molly could run the offense and not make mistakes when Caitlin needed to come out.
So sad she got injured on Senior Day:(
Where was Temi Fagbenle #14? I think she deserves to get rotated in. Sides subbing toward end of the 1st blew out their candle I thought. They were playing well together then she started making changes…
reinjured
LOVE your knowledge and understanding of how to build this team ……and take full advantage of CC for the Fever !!❤️
Grace berger was so good against caitlin' iowa in college. Why is she benched?
You brought up Moses Malone the other day, that team had Andrew Toney, pure shooting guard, reminds me of Mitchell
I've been thinking LLoyd (World B.) Free, but I think the Toney comparison is better. Thanks
I agree Liberty and Mercury games were coach right decision to play Wallace and Wheeler less minutes. Its helps the team WIN!
Hull should be starting next game or at least play a lot like she did today. Really likeable player and fits with Clark and the running style.
She never even looks at Caitlin
Low key the difference
Resting CC and putting Wheeler in is a no go. Put Berger in so CC can rest.
Wheeler was in for 30 seconds today.... NY scored 4 points and Wheeler got the ball stolen in that 30 seconds.
She always tries to put on a dribbling class and goes behind her back and gets it stolen 99% of the time. That's exactly what happened again today. Wheeler should be organizing the water bottles.
Hull really good with working with CC
Mick, Christie Sides is now a prop. Caitlin Clark is now a player/coach.
Thank GOODNESS
I’m not thrilled with Smith overall either. HULL Needs to have more play time. Been saying, Wheeler & Wallace…???
The Fever, due to their youth, can wear teams out, if they're willing to make games a track meet. Especially, against teams whose stars are 35+ years old.
As of 7/7/24
Scoring-Clark-16; Reese-24
Assist-Clark-3; Reese-50
3 pointers-Clark-6; Reese-50+
Rebounds-Clark-19; Reese-1
Blocks-Clark-16; Reese-47
Steals-Clark-17; Reese-16
Kelsey Mitchell has had the hot hand lately. Aliyah Boston & CC really "clicking" on the pick & roll. NyLyssa Smith scoring well. Maybe Lexi is the last piece. As you said, CC can make it easier for other teamie because CC is a multiple threat from beyond the arc, hail mary backcourt bomb assists, and drives to the basket for a layup or a "no look" pass. I suspected Fever needed time to capitalize on CC playmaking. The cohesion of the 2022-2024 Hawkeyes prob didn't happen overnight.
I think one crucial attribute a coach needs is to be able to 1) clearly assess individual talent and then 2) be able to collectively leverage that talent into a team. Sides' coaching style seems more akin to rolling the dice and hoping something works.
Miss Celeste to run and defdend
Would have loved to see what she could have done with Plum and Sabrina
You don't need good vets, you needs vets who can help teach and mentor. Even if they just sit at end of bench and are 11th or 12th player. Basically an additional assistant coach
22 shots for #22 MINIMUM! If Indiana fans knew what was good for them, they would be chanting “Shoot Caitlin, Shoot“ in an effort to override their incompetent coach (and people like you).
Where was TEME?
Out with an injury.
Hand injury
Besides Lexie Hull, Sides didn't utilize her bench at all. Could be an issue going forward but it worked this game
Impressed by the Julian Newman reference…classic
To be fair wheeler and clark together have worked but that is marchup dependent. End of mystics and dream games shows this.
Great point. Wallace had a negative impact on the Fever. Lou isn’t the answer either. Unfortunately. Lexie Hull, on the other hand, looked great.
christie sides is watching your channel lol
I'd like to say Wheeler is like 8th in career assists...but ya, she doesn't fit this offense
Wheeler can do some good things with the rock but I don't know about her decision making skills out there. Court vision is a little off.
GREAT ANALYSIS
i hope you see this comment because I was not very happy with the way they played, though more than happy with the result. here are the details: 1. sides had a few attempts at killing this game. why was clark benched when they had a lead going? when she came back the momentum was already off. but, she wasn't too long off the court, at least that. 2. tonight they lost 4 attacks for clock violation. add to that three or four last second missed attempts, and clearly, NY defence was good but fever offense was not working too well. 3. rotation on defence was horrible. this game level may not be enough for post olympics second half of season.
holy sht finally, I never knew why they get so much time in the first place.
Don't know much about wnba. Can wheeler be traded for a faster paced guard?
"Play defense and run". When Caitlin is on the floor they have no choice but to run. As for defense, The Fever has gone from high school level defense to energetic WNBA attacking defense; that is a coaching plus for Sides.
Best thing ever!
Another win for Sides.
Katie lou is going to be way better next year. She is still getting back strength, agility and stamina
Even as a UConn fan I admired the Hull Twins at Stanford not only for Theo talent but for their team play & that’s what Lexi can do for the fever With CC. & don’t forget Katie Lou The more they play together the better they become.
They need another marksman in the next draft that can force teams to respect someone besides CC. CC is doing all this basically double teamed the whole game. While i think Kiki would be an awesome compliment to AB, they need a steve kerr or klay thompson type. Or try to get kiki and paopao both.
It was in CS interest to promote the players she brought over from ATL. It might look like incompetence, but I'm fairly sure it was calculated as a political power play. If it had worked, she's feeding her crew and can use it as an argument to support running the team the way she was with much less focus on CC. She only started making these obvious adjustments recently after it became beyond apparent to everyone that Wallace and Wheeler weren't pulling their weight.
took Sides 20+ games to see that if they run and gun. THEY WIN. and the ball get's to EVERYONE.
Wallace is a good player as long as she is either a bench player or in a different style of play. You dont adjust your team style for wallace
Keep Wheeler and Wallace off the court, NI MINUTES for them!
YES!!! I've been saying it for weeks months, BENCH WALLACE & WHEELER PLAY HULL & BERGER!
Please start Lexie Hull!
Good lexie hull is fine.
Finally you give Sides her credit, you will make more corrections like this in the future. I remember when you said Boston and Clark would never be able to play together. And now they are one of the most prolific duos in the whole of W.
Wheeler and Wallace just don't fit into Clark's playstyle. Against the Mercury, Wallace actually had a great backdoor cut FINALLY, and of course Clark found her for an easy lay up. But they just don't do that enough. W & W do fine on the court on their own, just not when Clark is also on the court.
They need to pursue Monique Billings, Dijonai Carrington, Kiki Herbert Harrigan.
Great win but you still need to be fired sides
Great point. Wallace had a negative impact on the Fever. Lou isn’t the answer either. Unfortunately. Lexie Hull, on the other hand, looked great. Wheeler is simply terrible.
I think AB/Dantas/Wheeler/Berger/CC is viable since the starters need the rest
thing about wallace is she is only in yr 3 as she started late... but this yr she is way off her career numbers.. by a lot... 26% at 3 as compared to 38 and 42.. so if she just gets to her median it would make a significant difference
