I would love to see people treat Christie like a decent human while providing productive criticism. People need to understand that she is a leader of women, and when you tear her down needlessly, it actually tears down the young women she leads, and the women looking up to her. We all want the chance to grow in what we do and Christie is doing that. They are improving and that’s not by accident, it’s by leadership. My opinion.
She's incompetent!! Period!! Called a time out during her own teams run ? Who does that? Incompetent or sabotaging her own team ? That's the real question!!
Christie Sides took a position she was not qualified for and knew that. Sides is not the coach for a professional basketball team. Doesn’t mean she’s a bad person, but we want a professional coach who can develop these new players and this is not the place to learn how to become a professional basketball coach. If Caitlin was on any other team with professional experienced coach her growth would have been greatly improved. Dunn talked her into being a coach and the owner used this team as a tax write off.
YOU LOST ME TOTALLY AT "A LEADER OF WOMEN". THE IMPLICATION BEING THAT WE SHOULD TAKE IT EASY ON HER BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. YES, THAT IS WHAT YOU MEANT. AND I CALL BULLSHIT. YOU WANT EQUALITY, BUT WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY OR CONSEQUENCES. STICK TO MAKING SANDWICHES--IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE LIFE IN A MAN'S WORLD.
CC's teammates are fumbling less passes as the season goes on as well. In the beginning of the season she was hitting them with great passes and they weren't ready and they resulted in turnovers. I can't wait until Friday and the rest of the season.
Kelsie is getting more shots because defenses are concentrating on CC. Kelsie needs to swing the ball to CC sometimes. Players must be ready to catch passes. SET HARD PICKS to free 3point shooters. CC should have 15 -20 shots per game regardless. Most important, FEVER must play up tempo to highlight FEVER attributes and maximize CC's talent running the team and not placing her in the corner. Turnovers from CC. All great players have high turnovers. MJ. BABE RUTH. SUE BIRD. Lisa Leslie... Coach never call time outs when your team is in a fast break. Call time out when opponents go on a 9-10 point run. Make on ball adjustments during the game. Play to the strength of your talent and not your strict system. Adapt Coach. Last, let's not play Wheeler with CC. Allow Wheeler to sub for CC that has twofold benefit. Resting CC. And second, wheeler doesn't hinder CC's role and gravity for the TEAM.
Just give CC the keys, and get out of the way. And be a little more composed like Steve Kerr. When youre blessed with greatness, sometimes your job is to not do too much, Christie
Even genius have a adaptation period. Its the coach job to facilitate that. Not doing much is only worth it if everything works out perfectly. CC has a lot to learn, she's 22. Having someone with experience molding her is the best thing for a rookie.
Loved hearing Christie talk about Caitlin like the star she is. Hopefully this group let their guards down a bit during this break and just start respecting each other more. It will absolutely show on the court.
It sure is easier getting Clark in the 2 nd year . She needs to learn the game of utilizing a generational player to maximize her potential . Needs to demand her players protect the team not just Caitlin . Get a player on team who demands backing up any player being attacked . Non negotiable!
Great coverage as always with this channel. I love that they get factual information from the source. The amount of couch coaches is ridiculous and these are supposedly Indiana 'fans'. Ya'll are the most annoying people.
Boston and Clark were playing together better as the season wore on toward the break. That needs to continue during the remaining games. Offensively, the Fever have weapons. If Clark can regain her shooting touch, the Fever’s offense will take a positive jump toward the top of the top teams. Defense is a problem. Clark and Mitchell in college were the foci of their teams’ offenses and had to conserve energy on the defensive end. Clark is improving, but if she is going to play nearly 40 minutes, she needs to take energy breaks now and then; the defensive end is where the energy break will happen.
Like Larry Bird once said, "Give me the ball and get out of the way." Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play an exciting up-tempo game. They are changing the WNBA!
Look CC is an asset for any team and Indiana is the direct beneficiary of her being available this 2 year for the fever to draft . Everybody knows except the league controlled by the wrong individuals is the best player package in the game . Not just guard skills , shooting but also financial and popularity . You need to study , ask for help , learn basic marketing to grow with CC. She is miles ahead of the curve of other players and league personnel. She doesn’t cause trouble , isn’t racist and is marketable gold in the right way. Unite this team and you all benefit, plus win titles.
These are all the main factors we don't care for Christy Side's. CC should always be PG and Wheeler should never hit the floor. Spell CC with Berger, atleast she can play point and defend.
Coaching college players used to be quite a bit different from coaching professional players. College coaches had more control over roster. Or better or worse, control freaks tended toward college coaching. With the transfer portal (essentially free agency) college coaches now need to keep their players happy or risk having them succumb to the “grass is greener” syndrome and transfer to a different university. It is not a good situation.
I get this channel needs sponsors, but if the host (and people behind the scenes) can creatively introduce and exit the sponsor segments (to fit the video content narrative), then it can make for a less awkward experience for everyone. Just saying.
CC needs to be point guard period! Let her lead the team to the playoffs offs. CC will give her teammates the ball when open!! Keep KM being a team player not a ball hog, keep wheeler from way off CC, keep all the knowledge of no I in team!!
Katy Lou can't shoot high enough percentage to win games in big moments!! Lexi is the best #4 now. She's stepped up her hustle and defensive plays. Get her in a rhythm!
Howard if you are going to just go on long rants do it without a guest. The long soliloquies are tiresome when you have someone on the show. Obviously it's your show but maybe just don't ask someone to come on if you are just going to talk for 3 minutes before getting to the question. Thank goodness for the fast forward functionality.
Try coaching the holdover players to play as a team with the new play and not go rogue. Teach them to set screens and roll to the basket. Teach them to cut backdoor rather than stand like a statue. Teach them basic defensive principles. That is a good start.
The Fever organization did not expect success this year. Sides has no feel for the game or players nor make logical decisions or changes during the game. It's a collaborative game and this will all break down as the Fever will go 2 and 2 coming out of the break.
I just hope that Coach C. will also be considerate with CCs court vision and may she listen to her. I also hope that she will not limit CC and allow her to enjoy playing with her team mates.
Stop benching her on Defense!! She has more steals, blocks, etc. Per game than anyone you keep subbing. You lost that close game because the dumb late foul down 2 points late. You pulled CC and Your Genius Sun fouled w a Reach In ? Send them to the line, now down 4? Good strategy! WTF??
christie sides needs to trust cc more, sure use cc as bait but don’t forget that she can shoot from anywhere on the court. jeez make cc more aggressive in the offensive, make her trust herself more. when she believes everyone can believe with her, give her the green light she can do magic as we have all seen
I hope Christie will stop subbing out Caitlin in the dying seconds of a game, allegedly for defensive purposes. In their last game against the Mystics, Caitlin had 4 blocks and 5 steals already when Sides subbed out Caitlin in the dying seconds of the game. Is Sides saying that 4 blocks and 5 steals are not amazing defensive stats?
Maybe she should stop sabotaging her team!! Calling time out during her team runs? Really? Who does that? Not Calling time outs during rival teams runs? Incompetent is the word that comes to mind!!!
I am surprised that trailer trash Sides has not yet figured it out as she likes to say: “We gotta figure it out.” Sides wants CC to be a half court role player; I completely reject her diminution of Clark’s electrifying talents.
She did not handle CC transition to WNBA well at all. Many of her coaching decisions were questionable at best the rest of the season better pan out or she absolutely needs to go.

She's over her head, keeping Kristy Wallace Instead of Celeste Taylor insanity. Only certain coaches can coach generational talent

💯💯
💯
The team has grown in chemistry and it shows. Coach knew it would start coming together. 2nd half looks good! Go Fever!
they came together in spite of the worst Coach in HISTORY. ALL credit goes to these fantastic PLAYERS.
Just give CC the keys, and get out of the way. And be a little more composed like Steve Kerr. When youre blessed with greatness, sometimes your job is to not do too much, Christie
Even genius have a adaptation period. Its the coach job to facilitate that. Not doing much is only worth it if everything works out perfectly. CC has a lot to learn, she's 22. Having someone with experience molding her is the best thing for a rookie.
Steve Kerr is trash
And learn when to call timeouts!
@@troydamrill9094 But he knows not to do ttoo much. Thats the key. Remember he had KD and Steph? What did he really have to do?
right on
Loved hearing Christie talk about Caitlin like the star she is. Hopefully this group let their guards down a bit during this break and just start respecting each other more. It will absolutely show on the court.
like, duh. It took Christie Sides TOO LONG to see Reality and she should be FIRED.
Go Fever! Good job Coach Sides and Lin Dunn and staff. Pretty amazing for the 2nd year of a rebuilding program!!
You could see coach didn't panic and could see the bigger picture in the beginning. It's all coming together👌
It sure is easier getting Clark in the 2 nd year . She needs to learn the game of utilizing a generational player to maximize her potential . Needs to demand her players protect the team not just Caitlin . Get a player on team who demands backing up any player being attacked . Non negotiable!
Playing in transition is how they shine fast play , need more screens , call timeout before we are down 10 points
Go get Gabby Williams
Is Temi back yet?
Great coverage as always with this channel. I love that they get factual information from the source.

I hear you Christie🫡. Go Fever!❤
All you couch coaches need to leave them alone, let them play, and see the results.
Very very true!!
Sides has the greatest pure point guard of all time as a newb. Excited to see how thw the team progresses!
You're gonna do it! Goooo Fever!
CC 20 PLUS ASSISTS.
Like Larry Bird once said, "Give me the ball and get out of the way." Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play an exciting up-tempo game. They are changing the WNBA!
expecting CC to play 40 min. games isn't fair got to find way to cut it down to 34 min.
Yep, they need to ‘bench CC for 3-4min at the beginning of the second & fourth quarters’
Look CC is an asset for any team and Indiana is the direct beneficiary of her being available this 2 year for the fever to draft . Everybody knows except the league controlled by the wrong individuals is the best player package in the game . Not just guard skills , shooting but also financial and popularity .

No Excuses, We need to win it all...
We have the best Baller in the world
Let the Dawg loose...
1 player can't win it all they can realy help its still best team wins
These are all the main factors we don't care for Christy Side's. CC should always be PG and Wheeler should never hit the floor. Spell CC with Berger, atleast she can play point and defend.
Indiana Fever need to grab Gabby Williams ASAP

Respect for Christie Sides for being Flexible with Katie Lue Samuelson, her baby is at team practices, games, outings etc
I get this channel needs sponsors, but if the host (and people behind the scenes) can creatively introduce and exit the sponsor segments (to fit the video content narrative), then it can make for a less awkward experience for everyone. Just saying.
We love Cc22...make us love you too
CC needs to be point guard period! Let her lead the team to the playoffs offs. CC will give her teammates the ball when open!! Keep KM being a team player not a ball hog, keep wheeler from way off CC, keep all the knowledge of no I in team!!
Fans don't want Wheeler and Wallace on the court ever.
Ever!!
E v e r
Katy Lou can't shoot high enough percentage to win games in big moments!! Lexi is the best #4 now. She's stepped up her hustle and defensive plays. Get her in a rhythm!

Caitlin Clark is the Reason why people are watching women Basketball 🏀 😊😊, She's pretty damn good, 😊😊😊Go Feaver and Caitlin Clark.............
Try coaching the holdover players to play as a team with the new play and not go rogue. Teach them to set screens and roll to the basket. Teach them to cut backdoor rather than stand like a statue. Teach them basic defensive principles. That is a good start.
That’s the point. Sides lacking in experience and knowledge to coach a professional basketball team
👍💪
The Fever organization did not expect success this year. Sides has no feel for the game or players nor make logical decisions or changes during the game. It's a collaborative game and this will all break down as the Fever will go 2 and 2 coming out of the break.
Lol. I thought you were ESPN for a second. Of course, they aren't always right also.
@@robertvaldez2924 Well see. I'd love for the Fever to win out but have no expectation of better than 50% unless Sides sits on her hands.
14 games will tell us will see.
I just hope that Coach C. will also be considerate with CCs court vision and may she listen to her. I also hope that she will not limit CC and allow her to enjoy playing with her team mates.

Sides sabotages her own team.
Christie is doing fine. Hopefully she will figure out how to win the big dance someday.
If looked on sports Indiana Fever are a real reporting agency should know the fan's don't like Christy Side's.
christie sides needs to trust cc more, sure use cc as bait but don’t forget that she can shoot from anywhere on the court. jeez make cc more aggressive in the offensive, make her trust herself more. when she believes everyone can believe with her, give her the green light she can do magic as we have all seen

Get Berger on the floor, Naylssa Smith is the worse defender in the league, and looks completely lost most of the time.
I am surprised that trailer trash Sides has not yet figured it out as she likes to say: “We gotta figure it out.” Sides wants CC to be a half court role player; I completely reject her diminution of Clark’s electrifying talents.
I don’t want to hear from Sides unless she is announcing her resignation as the coach of the Fevers. She is incompetent!
She did not handle CC transition to WNBA well at all. Many of her coaching decisions were questionable at best the rest of the season better pan out or she absolutely needs to go.
