Straight up. Christie Sides has brought a whole new level of mismanagement to the game. Turning the greatest shooter in women's basketball history into just another player is ludicrous.
What everyone seems to forget, this is a TEAM SPORT! Without the TEAM MENTALITY, the Fever, nor Caitlin will survive! It seems to me that they need a coach that brings each player's strengths forward, & figure out how to merge them to win! Not trying to change a player to how she wants them to play
Welcome to the WNBA. I've been watching this league since 1997. This is what the W looks like, folks. It's no joke. Never has been. There are killers all across the league. Great showing by the Liberty. All of yall new fans can blame the Fever coach and Clark's teammates all you want, but the Fever will be losing games they're supposed to lose at this point. They've always been a bad team. The W is a small league with the best talent in the world. Put some respect on the their opponent's names and on the league in general. Again, welcome to the WNBA.
A coach who is 13 wins and 30 losses talking about the players... They only time thry mounted a comeback was when Clark said screw this and did it her way. They got within 11 points. Than a timeout and they put Wheeler back in charge.

Her way she was 2-8 and 1-7 from 3, what the hell did she do. Girl had 9 points and 2 baskets all game. Bro sit down lol she cat do anything because she can’t dribble that good and she can’t create her own shots. So wth can she do her way, Without screens. Absolutely nothing but turn the ball over 10 times like the first game when she was trying to keep the ball and do it her way.
i think shes done. maybe shell stop by to help the iowa team once in a while to fill in if someones sick but that think thats the most shes gonna do anymore. shes missing her kids grow up a lot as it is
This dude didn't even watch the game. He didn't even address the fact that when Boston and Wheeler was on the bench, they started scoring and got within 11 points. Then sides put Boston and Wheeler back in and things went to hell. I won't be watching this dude anymore.
Did you watch this game???? Caitlin is NOT being utilized. Some of these players are deliberately keeping ball away from Clark. Sides is full of SHYT!!!!
That's basketball if you watch the game CC didn't want the ball when pressured. Stop making excuses for her. Without screens she cant really create for herself. WNBA everyone is good
@@kathy0698keep the ball in her hands long enough she’ll give you 10 turnovers again. Y’all have put pressure on this chick that women’s basketball has never seen. Teams/players will also play her harder because of it. They have gotten overlooked but yall praise CC.
This coach spouts what needs to be done but doesnt do a darned thing to show them how to do it😢... And this slow post up offense isnt to your players advantage... The team is better with Boston and Wheeler on the bench!!!
It's not the coach hating on her players, it's the players not fulfilling their assignments. More importantly, it's the opposing team defense that is applying the pressure to the Fever. Caitlin Clark has a target on her back, and they are coming after her. The league has disrespected the other players with the Caitlin Clark hype, and they have a point to prove. They don't want to hear any excuses for Clark.
blowing layups, cant catch passes, wheeler ignoring CC when she was open, nobody coming down to help Boston when she is triple teamed down low, thats a coaching problem
The opening schedule is brutal. I think they said only four teams had a winning record last year. I want to see how the Fever does against some of those lesser teams, maybe they'll get some confidence going. Right now they can't even catch their breath because they're just getting pummeled
@@belpack8989in a way it’s a good thing because by having to go against the best teams first one after the other. It will be almost like a build up of additional training and conditioning so when they face the more average teams they will be able to win against those with no problem because they would have taken on the harder teams and learned how to battle against it.
Tf this coach talking about CC confidence! She the one to blame why CC doubted herself now by not letting her be Caitlin.. Pack your bag and go out of fever. 2 games is enough for you before you ruin cc for good
@@ctbt1832 She told CC to stop shooting so many shots from beyond the 3pt line and she wants Caitlin to pass more. They've got maybe one other half way decent player named Boston and even she is a bit lazy at times.
@@ctbt1832she told her when she gets the ball she has half a second to either pass or get the shot off, she doesn't want her dribbling around to create a shot
@ctbt1832 it is partially the coach's fault because Caitlins teammates aren't setting screens for her or hustling as much as they should when Caitlin is on the floor. Plus, the whole team looked lost out there. If Sides was a halfway decent coach, she'd be finding ways to make teams start to double team one of the other players like Smith, Boston and etc, so it'll take pressure off Caitlin Clark. Great teams in the NBA do that all the time. When the Bulls were winning titles in the 90s, teams couldn't really double team Michael Jordan because that would leave scottie pippen open, or he'd possibly be mismatched with a smaller player for him to score easily. And vice versa which made the Bulls unstoppable. Just for an example. I know the fever aren't on that level and I'm not comparing the teams. However, Sides needs to figure out how make this team gel. Caitlin should be used as a decoy if she's being double teamed to create open opportunities for Boston yet Boston is playing terrible this year surprisingly.
The issue is Christie (coach) is not building plays to adapter to her roaster, anotherwise CC is treated like another player instead utilizing her skills and impact on the court. CC only getting 7 attempts is not going to help... shooters like CC need to get into a rhythm, saying your player takes bad shots is dumb, thats the coach putting blame on the player and not her self is amateur coaching. When your player (CC) is 80%+ of the time drawing 2+ defenders to double coverage and apply pressure against your shooting game, and she does her job to assist on the play instead of taking the shot, that player (CC) is not the problem on taking “bad” shots, thats a coaching game play error.
Why is it so many of us can see the problem, yet the coach is clueless? The way the offense has been playing, CC should be shooting a minimum of 20 shots a game. The offense should 100% be ran through CC.
@@denisebailey3226 What is the alternative? We seen it tonight by getting blown out. CC has to learn and grow, she can't do that on the bench or standing in the corner. She made great passes tonight and they stopped letting her run the offense. CC won't be perfect, but she will continue to grow and is the best option to run the offense.
Watched my 3rd WNBA game Indiana Fever home opener 102-66 loss. It was "Every man for himself". Caitlin got shut down with only 9 pts. Clark has created a marketing fever pitch in audience for the league. If the coach can't figure out how to use and create for Clark, I'm afraid interest in the WNBA will fall back into the doldrums of no interest once again.
@@Ember_Janer you have no idea who wicked and vicious these bitches can be. Especially if you have a 30 million dollar contract with nike. They don't give a fucccckkk, they will tear you down. Wheeler and Boston did NOT pass the ball to CC on 3 occasions in which CC was open. Sides intentionally puts Wheeler on the court and CC on the court at the same time. Why the fuck do we have two PGs playing at the same time. Why is wheeler a PG? And Wheeler was trying to buddy up with CC, to get followers on instagram. I'd loose confidence if I was on a shit team, didn't get any rest, and was surrounded by disgusting teammates and a shit coach.
I can’t speak for all the haters but I was just saying she won’t look as good against better competition and her fans were taking that as hate. I was coming from a place that respects the talent of WNBA players and that cc won’t look as good playing against them. So it kinda fun to see her fans in disbelief when some of us saw this coming. Think she just had a bad game? I think she can do a lot worse
And if this is the case fans will not stay. Unless sh can revolutionize the game like curry did then this spike in excitement will die pretty quick and the wnba will go back to most not caring again. That’s just reality weather people want to accept it or not
The whole team hasn’t played D. She’s been the best player the first two games and that’s sad news with this coaching. Boston got cooked by breanna and also got her shot blocked 6 times
@@lynkerk320do you know what hating means? Are they just supposed to let this rookie who everybody said is so much better than everybody just score at Wil? Or are they making her earn all this press? Nobody hating on a bum that isn't ready for the pros No need just look at her
START CC AT POINT WITH CELESTE TAYLOR, START LEXIE HULL (3 Guard lineup)… THE WHOLE TEAM IS SOFT AND OUT OF SHAPE… THATS WHY THE COACH SAID THEY NEED PRACTICE… THEY NEED CONDITIONING AND DEFENSIVE WORK BAD
You sound really mad right now. Who’s in charge of their “self” confidence. The individual. If c can’t handle it, sit on the bench and watch, thus figuring out how you best fit in. This is a TEAM sport, but sadly c is selfish with the ball.
if they continue to lose games, coaching change must happen. cc teammates should be moving constantly without the ball. CC and AB should be killin with pick and rolls play.
The new WNBA fans and the WNBA forced this head coach to play CC when CC was not ready to lead a pro offense and needed more defensive skills. The fans and the media need to back off.
@@mikemiller4726they will watch regardless she’s just on one team it’s don’t speak for the rest, they need to develop Catlin do it won’t hurt her future
It will take a long time for them to win a game. Their record this year might be even worse than last year. This team is going to be target for other teams the entire srason. Their record will be worse this year than last year.
Indian hasnt had a winning season since 2015. Christie Sides took over in 2023 and won more games in 2023 than they had in the past 7 years, and now its the coaches fault that Caitlin Clark is getting handled at the next level 😂😂😂😂
The coach has maybe two decent players. She doesn't have a team that can win especially if you tell the rookie not to shoot the long balls and pass the ball more.
Cc better off shooting 50 times than passing the ball to her team that can't handle a pass and miss wide open lay ups. Cc gets the ball and her teammates become statues zero screens dont pick and roll they keep getting blown out.
How is she getting handled? She’s still been the best player on the team which shouldn’t be the case. The whole team is getting handled. Boston and smith got burned by Breanna, that’s not Caitlin’s fault. Always fun to hate on someone though
The coach doesn’t want her to run the fast break and she has her playing shooting guard letting wheeler run point. You don’t even want eh just want to hate
CC needs to be the leader and allowed to play and direct the team as she is comfortable. She must not have the voice of "The Underminer" in her head saying to play not like her winning self.
The old players have no motivation, they are used to losing, Caitlin is used to winning a big difference, so playing on this team of losers is not good for Caitlyn and being under this coach.
.. You can Clearly see her teammates sabotaging her success and that worthless coach doing the same thing... Sad what they're doing to a great player... Breaking her spirit. 😢
Yes, CC can take it to the hoop. But she is NOT a wide body, she at least needs a small lane to squeeze through. Get her some help by coming up to the ball. And for God Sakes when she throws the ball to the post or forward, please catch it and then score. I didn't get a chance to watch the whole game but what I did see was A.B. muffin the pass or not able to follow through. I think in about 35% of the game I did watch, A.B could of at least had 10 points on them observations alone. The next thing is Ladies, get your buns down the court so CC or the other decent passers can help break the 1/2 court press. Of Course, I'm not a coach, or professional BBaller but what I see and don't see is very obvious to me.
The coach never protected her player from some very bad referees. Cay was bullied the whole game Seemed the coach wanted to prove she was boss. Calling asked for help several times and the coach ignored her. Only shoot the shots coach wanted. Bad coaching. The other players followed the coach. Too bad the other players only wanted to be the star Coach support your star. And sh r will make you a star.
They thought Clark was going to save them.and coach is right you have to go hard and play defense And the other team is going to make her work for them shots
Caitlin can't do it alone though. Her other teammates need to step up too as the entire team looks lost especially Boston who's supposed to be an elite player
Her teammates look like play like 76 year olds at the ymca on tuseday mornings. Cc feeds them and they lose the ball or miss wide open lay ups than play zero d fence.
I'm nobody, but... if you have a player who is surrounded by three defensive players (Boston)... two people are wide open, kick the ball out. Start again. Have a discipline who is going to take shots - versus just anyone working one-on-one to the basket. Too many Fever girls are standing around on both ends of the floor. Caitlan should be your quarterback... I think she has demonstrated those exceptional skills. Both offense and defense look chaotic. Your record won't change unless your team becomes more cohesive. It all starts with leadership - as a coach and a quarterback. Anything less won't work well enough to matter.
Everyone that watched saw that it was the bench that brought the team back in the 3 rd , the wrong players are starting. Players need to get the ball to Clark and set screens , none of that is happening. Coach is part of the problem but not all of it.
Having coached college men's basketball, the Fever's offensive schemes are some of the worst I've ever seen. No one can get an open look and they fight to beat the shot clock time after time. Defense is definitely substandard, but offense is much lower than that.....Totally wasting the best women's player ever.....
This coach sucks bad. It looks like chaos on the defense and offensive side of the ball. Players leave other opponents open unguarded, this tells me this coach has no idea how to coach, all basic fundamentals and saw nothing of the kind. Poor Caitlin is not getting help, I say play all your first year players together with Boston, but Boston needs to dribble out of trouble, too!
Yeah but doesn't matter...she is the best IF player yet they play her off ball and not one through her. Losing formula with the lack of talent on this team.
This Woman Does Not Know How To Coach , She Would Not Know What To Do With Great Players . This Is Her Problem With Clark , She Does Not Know How . They Need A Knew Coach Quick !
Cc teammates was not giving her the ball in the last quarter of the game like wtf fire sides how you not see that and you a coach wheeler was peeing me off an Aliyah Boston
People relax.. this is the first year!!! Did people really think that they can beat the Suns, Liberty or Ace.. then your doing Indian Fever and CC a great unservice!!! Give her time and space!!!
Pride in the team by the players will come when the coach does the same. Truthfully if you have one individual camera on the Fever coach you'll see she is not coaching just bitching at the players. They need a more seasoned coach so the players will adjust to each other and seek more praise from the coaching staff. Negativism begets negative results from your players folks.The coach may be walking on rice paper right now and if rhe paper keeps tearing then she's through.
How stupid do you have to be to bench your best players in the last minutes of the game when you still have a chance to win?????????????????????????????????
no coach in history has evern turned against a player like this fool they call a coach at indy; shocking; three games into her career and they are denying her shots and running her out of the league
She literally has no clue what she is doing. She’s been an assistant because she was content. Now she’s steering the ship and has NO idea what she is doing
Interesting that Sides has never been a head coach at the High School or College Level? 22 year Assistant bouncing back and forth, High School/College/Pro, from 2000-2022 and getting her Head Coach Debut in 2023, this being year two? Lisa Bluder continues to look better at knowing how to use Clark in an offense?
With all that hype yall put a target on her back and every team will double team her to keep her from having a good game. She is in the same boat as coach prime every body is out to beat her.
How can she perform when you only have 2 good players to account for? Truth is coach, you suck. Sides needs to be fired. Throwing clark under the bus is BS. Boston cant even play her game. Thats how bad the rest of the team actually is.
PEOPLE NEED TO BETNIJAH LANEY IS WNBA 1ST TEAM ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM… CARRINGTON WAS CONN BEST DEFENDER… CC NEEDS 15-20 LBS AND STRENGTH… HER CONDITIONING SUCKS AND SHE SULKS… AND UTS NIT GONNA GET EASIER WITH JACKIE YOUNG AND SKYLAR DIGGINS, BOTH ARE BEASTS
First thing this lady doesn't need to be the coach and you don't change the way a person plays basketball and you don't give them a 0.5 second rule the other problems they're having is they are a smaller team than most of the WNBA teams if you want to win the basketball game you got to play defense no defense you're not winning a game Aaliyah Boston she can't hold her own underneath she's not big enough
Why do you want to change the historic player ? You don't know how to coach. It's always the players don't do this or that. Quit running your mouth on what they need to do and teach or show them. What you coaching at the present isn't working. I know when I'm screamed at, I shut me hearing off and avoid that person. All we have seen out of your coaching is you screaming then criticizing Them. !!
She sounds like a great coach.... They would be doing atleast 10 hours of layups and close up shots and making sure the shots go in... They did miss alot of easy dam shots...
My concern is for Boston on that team. Her talent in the hand of a coach like TSpoon will be fully and properly exploited. Clark like other rookies need time to learn the game at this level.
You can see how overwhelming all this is to her. No one new her name last year now she has one of the best players in the world to coach. She needs to calm down and find out what works. Find a different perspective out of the normal bs and go for it. We are not robotic..
Defense has to be better. Teams are having it there way. And need better plays to free up your shooters. All of this is a Coaching mistake. And some of it is you need to switch the line up , up. Play Caitlin Clark as a Shooting Guard. Someone else needs to bring the ball up the floor. Screens need to be set on time with the shooters coming off the pick ready to shoot once they see daylight/have enough space.
Straight up. Christie Sides has brought a whole new level of mismanagement to the game. Turning the greatest shooter in women's basketball history into just another player is ludicrous.

Think she just had a bad game? I think she can do a lot worse
And if this is the case fans will not stay. Unless sh can revolutionize the game like curry did then this spike in excitement will die pretty quick and the wnba will go back to most not caring again. That’s just reality weather people want to accept it or not
The problem is coaching,dont blame the players. This coach sucks
Don't blame the coach Clark is garbage no excuses she dont play defense she soft
The whole team hasn’t played D. She’s been the best player the first two games and that’s sad news with this coaching. Boston got cooked by breanna and also got her shot blocked 6 times
@@caketv5860 and you're blind....
Facts!
@@ryanskeir7908 nah Clark she a bust welcome to da wnba lls
I think Angel Reese is gonna have a more productive season. 💯
She's physical that's why
Not so far she hasn't.
Angel Reese actually have a good coach. I wish that coach was on the team. Christie is trash.
Better team and WNBA players aren’t hating on Reese.
@@lynkerk320do you know what hating means? Are they just supposed to let this rookie who everybody said is so much better than everybody just score at Wil? Or are they making her earn all this press?
Nobody hating on a bum that isn't ready for the pros
No need just look at her
The coach is not effective; she has CC sitting in the corner during offense, but CC should take 25 shots per game.
START CC AT POINT WITH CELESTE TAYLOR, START LEXIE HULL (3 Guard lineup)… THE WHOLE TEAM IS SOFT AND OUT OF SHAPE… THATS WHY THE COACH SAID THEY NEED PRACTICE… THEY NEED CONDITIONING AND DEFENSIVE WORK BAD
Start CC and Grace together
She will ruin CC confidence if it’s hasn’t been ruined.
Exactly.
Caitlyn Clark should quit and start building Houses...... Because she throws up A lot of Bricks.😂😂😂😂😂
WNBA players was going to do thst, its players in the wnba who will drag Catlin Clark, it’s a team sport
@@tastic1748glad I’m not the only one who saw that, this is the wnba not the ncaa
You sound really mad right now. Who’s in charge of their “self” confidence. The individual. If c can’t handle it, sit on the bench and watch, thus figuring out how you best fit in. This is a TEAM sport, but sadly c is selfish with the ball.
if they continue to lose games, coaching change must happen. cc teammates should be moving constantly without the ball. CC and AB should be killin with pick and rolls play.
They should be an got butter fingers and can't jump and turns into a statue when xx gets the ball unless she basically puts it in her hands
Please just fire this woman i cant handle her
FIRE Sides. HIRE Bluder.
Bluder is 100% NOT available. She's retired now - zero interest in coaching anyone anywhere anymore.
Don’t be so sure, many many people come out of “retirement”
sometimes a few times!!
With Sides as their coach they probably won't even win a game!
Ny won 32 last year and got all their starters back. Indiana won 24 in the past 3 years combined. If you are shocked by this result, that's on you.
FIRE SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coach is Coaching Bums That’s Why They Got The #1 pick
Aliyah Boston’s was rookie of the year.
They need a coach
She’s got no clue how to adjust and utilize her players too much talking…FIRE and save Indiana Fever Baseball…get her out please …. Ca
The new WNBA fans and the WNBA forced this head coach to play CC when CC was not ready to lead a pro offense and needed more defensive skills. The fans and the media need to back off.
If she doesn’t play people don’t watch. If people don’t watch the league loses money. What is so hard to understand. It’s a business.
Exactly someone who knows what’s going on🫡
@@mikemiller4726they will watch regardless she’s just on one team it’s don’t speak for the rest, they need to develop Catlin do it won’t hurt her future
It will take a long time for them to win a game.
Their record this year might be even worse than last year.
This team is going to be target for other teams the entire srason.
Their record will be worse this year than last year.
My throat feels sore too listening to her.
Indian hasnt had a winning season since 2015. Christie Sides took over in 2023 and won more games in 2023 than they had in the past 7 years, and now its the coaches fault that Caitlin Clark is getting handled at the next level 😂😂😂😂
The coach has maybe two decent players. She doesn't have a team that can win especially if you tell the rookie not to shoot the long balls and pass the ball more.
Cc better off shooting 50 times than passing the ball to her team that can't handle a pass and miss wide open lay ups. Cc gets the ball and her teammates become statues zero screens dont pick and roll they keep getting blown out.
Winning a few more games in a losing season is not asking for a lot. That coach got to go.
How is she getting handled? She’s still been the best player on the team which shouldn’t be the case. The whole team is getting handled. Boston and smith got burned by Breanna, that’s not Caitlin’s fault. Always fun to hate on someone though
The coach doesn’t want her to run the fast break and she has her playing shooting guard letting wheeler run point. You don’t even want eh just want to hate
CC needs to be the leader and allowed to play and direct the team as she is comfortable. She must not have the voice of "The Underminer" in her head saying to play not like her winning self.
Caitlin needs the ball in her hands to comfortable there’s no other way this coach Eagle is bigger than the team
Let Clarke play her game....Coach get out of the way. Last year's plans don't work this year, come on coach you are crippling the team.
Last year's plan didn't work either.
The old players have no motivation, they are used to losing, Caitlin is used to winning a big difference, so playing on this team of losers is not good for Caitlyn and being under this coach.
.. You can Clearly see her teammates sabotaging her success and that worthless coach doing the same thing... Sad what they're doing to a great player... Breaking her spirit. 😢
Fire coach Sides NOW. She putting way too much on CC when the rest of the team is straight ASS.
Fight and passion are useless when the game plan is ineffective and is not adapted effectively in response to live play.
Yes, CC can take it to the hoop. But she is NOT a wide body, she at least needs a small lane to squeeze through. Get her some help by coming up to the ball. And for God Sakes when she throws the ball to the post or forward, please catch it and then score. I didn't get a chance to watch the whole game but what I did see was A.B. muffin the pass or not able to follow through. I think in about 35% of the game I did watch, A.B could of at least had 10 points on them observations alone. The next thing is Ladies, get your buns down the court so CC or the other decent passers can help break the 1/2 court press. Of Course, I'm not a coach, or professional BBaller but what I see and don't see is very obvious to me.
The coach never protected her player from some very bad referees. Cay was bullied the whole game
Seemed the coach wanted to prove she was boss. Calling asked for help several times and the coach ignored her. Only shoot the shots coach wanted. Bad coaching. The other players followed the coach. Too bad the other players only wanted to be the star
Coach support your star. And sh r will make you a star.
You let Clark play her game and stop holding her back.
She’s letting her play lol. Clarke just missing 🤦🏾♂️😂
10 turnovers???
this coach is flustered! when no one watches you its easy to slide bye, but now that everyone is watching she doesnt know how to deal w/ the pressure
They thought Clark was going to save them.and coach is right you have to go hard and play defense And the other team is going to make her work for them shots
CC can’t do it all by herself.
Caitlin can't do it alone though. Her other teammates need to step up too as the entire team looks lost especially Boston who's supposed to be an elite player
Her teammates look like play like 76 year olds at the ymca on tuseday mornings. Cc feeds them and they lose the ball or miss wide open lay ups than play zero d fence.
CC is NOT the problem with this team!!
I'm nobody, but... if you have a player who is surrounded by three defensive players (Boston)... two people are wide open, kick the ball out. Start again. Have a discipline who is going to take shots - versus just anyone working one-on-one to the basket. Too many Fever girls are standing around on both ends of the floor. Caitlan should be your quarterback... I think she has demonstrated those exceptional skills. Both offense and defense look chaotic. Your record won't change unless your team becomes more cohesive. It all starts with leadership - as a coach and a quarterback. Anything less won't work well enough to matter.
Everyone that watched saw that it was the bench that brought the team back in the 3 rd , the wrong players are starting. Players need to get the ball to Clark and set screens , none of that is happening. Coach is part of the problem but not all of it.
Lisa Bluder was at the game last night, hopefully she accepted the head coach job. :-)
Having coached college men's basketball, the Fever's offensive schemes are some of the worst I've ever seen. No one can get an open look and they fight to beat the shot clock time after time. Defense is definitely substandard, but offense is much lower than that.....Totally wasting the best women's player ever.....
I side with sides.. it's not her fault caitlin doesn't have a post up game..
This coach sucks bad. It looks like chaos on the defense and offensive side of the ball. Players leave other opponents open unguarded, this tells me this coach has no idea how to coach, all basic fundamentals and saw nothing of the kind. Poor Caitlin is not getting help, I say play all your first year players together with Boston, but Boston needs to dribble out of trouble, too!
WHEN REALITY HITS YOU RIGHT IN THE DAMN FACE!!!
CC was 2-8 FG, 1-7 3PT. WTF are y’all even talking about??? She was cold last night.
Yeah but doesn't matter...she is the best IF player yet they play her off ball and not one through her. Losing formula with the lack of talent on this team.
Your players don’t look happy!! Coach is not good!! They are not motivated and lack of leadership!
This Woman Does Not Know How To Coach , She Would Not Know What To Do With Great Players . This Is Her Problem With Clark , She Does Not Know How . They Need A Knew Coach Quick !
The problem is this team can’t shoot shit to win a game …when they put the squeeze on cc…simple shots under basket and they miss… f!!!!! unbelievable
They should have drafted angel Reese if they needed toughness.
Cc teammates was not giving her the ball in the last quarter of the game like wtf fire sides how you not see that and you a coach wheeler was peeing me off an Aliyah Boston
Because she’s not making shots 😂
@@larryhorne-px4ky she almost had a triple double
Worst thing happening to this coach is Caitlin going here, she can't handle this pressure the coach get rid of her now.
James Harden is my goat so i truly admire CC amount of "not giving one single fuck" on defense lol
😂😂😂
Oh so you're secretly a Trae Young fan then😂
So you like players who can't get the job done, come post season
James Harden is your goat. I like that one. Keep em coming dude. You must keep everyone you know highly entertained.
@@rtee48 go check the stats mfr he was a beast in his prime
If CC go down? The whole WNBA goes down. They be back on the Bus going places not a charter plane.
People relax.. this is the first year!!!
Did people really think that they can beat the Suns, Liberty or Ace.. then your doing Indian Fever and CC a great unservice!!! Give her time and space!!!
Pride in the team by the players will come when the coach does the same. Truthfully if you have one individual camera on the Fever coach you'll see she is not coaching just bitching at the players. They need a more seasoned coach so the players will adjust to each other and seek more praise from the coaching staff. Negativism begets negative results from your players folks.The coach may be walking on rice paper right now and if rhe paper keeps tearing then she's through.
How stupid do you have to be to bench your best players in the last minutes of the game when you still have a chance to win?????????????????????????????????
She is clueless. She said so herself. Even her last season was bad. Good players but bad coaching and leadership.
yall hyped CC like she was LBJ coming out of high school that’s why everyone determined to give her a hard time
Took me a minute there...I was like, "How in the world is Caitlin Clark like Lyndon Baines Johnson??“ 🤔
😂🤣😂🤣😜
@@kingskidgirl2😂😂😂 lame lmao
@@kingskidgirl2 😂😂 now im interested to find out who that is
no coach in history has evern turned against a player like this fool they call a coach at indy; shocking; three games into her career and they are denying her shots and running her out of the league
The truth is she's a bad coach! Leave Caitlin alone.
good coaches blame themselves; i would refuse to play for a coach that blames players like this; she is a disgrace
Wake up and apologize to Diana Turasi.
Man fire this coach you are 13 and 28
The defense was awful in that game against the Liberty, probably the worst basketball defense I've ever seen.
Coach is to blame. You got CC and you are using her as a decoy most of the time. Got to use her as the primary scorer and run plays through her.
take erica wheeler off the court 4pts is pathetic for a player making more money than just about every player in the wnba
She literally has no clue what she is doing. She’s been an assistant because she was content. Now she’s steering the ship and has NO idea what she is doing
Interesting that Sides has never been a head coach at the High School or College Level? 22 year Assistant bouncing back and forth, High School/College/Pro, from 2000-2022 and getting her Head Coach Debut in 2023, this being year two? Lisa Bluder continues to look better at knowing how to use Clark in an offense?
With all that hype yall put a target on her back and every team will double team her to keep her from having a good game. She is in the same boat as coach prime every body is out to beat her.
How can she perform when you only have 2 good players to account for? Truth is coach, you suck. Sides needs to be fired. Throwing clark under the bus is BS. Boston cant even play her game. Thats how bad the rest of the team actually is.
PEOPLE NEED TO BETNIJAH LANEY IS WNBA 1ST TEAM ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM… CARRINGTON WAS CONN BEST DEFENDER… CC NEEDS 15-20 LBS AND STRENGTH… HER CONDITIONING SUCKS AND SHE SULKS… AND UTS NIT GONNA GET EASIER WITH JACKIE YOUNG AND SKYLAR DIGGINS, BOTH ARE BEASTS
All the teams that have done too beat Indiana is double teaming Caitlin Clark. It’s obvious the rest of the team couldn’t throw a basket in a lake.
I think this coach dont even know what the hell shes taking about, so hard to watch this
First thing this lady doesn't need to be the coach and you don't change the way a person plays basketball and you don't give them a 0.5 second rule the other problems they're having is they are a smaller team than most of the WNBA teams if you want to win the basketball game you got to play defense no defense you're not winning a game Aaliyah Boston she can't hold her own underneath she's not big enough
It’s not working 2-8, 9 point 3 turnovers..in two games 7-23, 13 turnover team 0-2 she sinking up the place..but the coach will be the escape goat..
Why do you want to change the historic player ? You don't know how to coach. It's always the players don't do this or that. Quit running your mouth on what they need to do and teach or show them.
What you coaching at the present isn't working. I know when I'm screamed at, I shut me hearing off and avoid that person.
All we have seen out of your coaching is you screaming then criticizing
Them. !!
Excuse excuses, if the coach has not made the team tougher last year, she will not be able to get the room back
She sounds like a great coach.... They would be doing atleast 10 hours of layups and close up shots and making sure the shots go in... They did miss alot of easy dam shots...
Strange. Other sites say that the problem is this coach. and d that she must be fired.
My concern is for Boston on that team. Her talent in the hand of a coach like TSpoon will be fully and properly exploited. Clark like other rookies need time to learn the game at this level.
CC should hurry and cash that NIKE check.🤔🤔🤔
You can see how overwhelming all this is to her. No one new her name last year now she has one of the best players in the world to coach. She needs to calm down and find out what works. Find a different perspective out of the normal bs and go for it. We are not robotic..
Defense has to be better. Teams are having it there way. And need better plays to free up your shooters. All of this is a Coaching mistake. And some of it is you need to switch the line up , up. Play Caitlin Clark as a Shooting Guard. Someone else needs to bring the ball up the floor. Screens need to be set on time with the shooters coming off the pick ready to shoot once they see daylight/have enough space.
Set better picks for Clark you have no clue… SMH
Replace CC with Malaysia Fulwely a true athletic guard with that butta😂
