    For comparison, the WNBA averages a bit over 400 double doubles per year. It's had 31 triple doubles in 28 years.
    Anyone saying Caitlin doesn't deserve the ROTY because of Angel's double doubles is ridiculous. If Caitlin has a second triple, the talk is OVER. It should truly be over right now. Caitlin is far above every other rookie player.

    Honestly, 7th is the highest they could go, and that's a lot. There are many things now that their COACH is getting about Clark's game. Benching Wheeler and Wallace is paying off big time for them. Mitchell has to accept more roles as a spot up shooter and Samuelson has to make hers. They can look like the better IOWA 2.0 if they just take their roles and let CC cook. Mitchell can increase her scoring numbers and so does Boston. RUN, and KEEP SHOOTING THREES, AND ALWAYS HAVE CAITLIN'S BACK!

    Phoenix is old. Old players are slow and they just don't match up when a lot of the teams have young talent. The Fever are growing faster than other teams mostly because they have a bunch of youth and a new point guard that is a great passer. Whether you like it or not most players have never played with a great passer and it takes time learning how to catch some of those passes. I could see the Fever really being a problem near the end of the year if Mitchell can learn how to play team ball the last couple months.

They realize if they do their job they will score and will win. That is making the hate go away within the team, winning makes people happy and builds on itself. And yes, run run run run run run run run😁

    Clark and the Fever currently have an 80% chance of being a 500 team and making the playoffs than the 60% that Reese and the Sky have. The Sky will finish the season playing multiple games against the top 6 teams. The August game against the Fever will determine who goes to the playoffs and I don't see the Fever losing that game. The only reason they lost that first game in Chicago was because of the dumbass coach and the crooked referees who were bought to throw to game in favor of the Sky.

    Fever is getting some extra love in the rankings (possibly undeserved, we'll see) because after starting 1-8, they have since gone 8-5. That is a remarkable and sustained turnaround. And yes, also because CC hype. I'd feel better about the Fever's post-season chances if CC could get her turnovers down around 3 per game for the rest of the season without losing a beat on APG & PPG.

    The Fever can play with the best of them, but they miss too many shots by rushing. But they, including the coach, are also still learning to play together. With growing confidence leading to better shooting, they could go, and stay, over .500.

  • @jenniferrindahl9007
    @jenniferrindahl9007 2 месяца назад +2

    I’m an optimist. so I think ranking them 6th is fair, while agreeing that they aren’t the best team or the best scheme. But they are starting to believe in themselves and the motto, ‘everyone eats’ seems real. If Caitlin starts to improve her shooting percentage, all bets are off for me in terms of how far they can go. My two goals for them before the break are to go 3/4 in their final four games, (beating the Lynx matters to me since their coach seems to dislike Clark) I also want to see them score 100 pts before the break. I think they can do it, and possibly against the Wings if you look at how many points are routinely scored against them.

  • @danielbarrido2030
    @danielbarrido2030 2 месяца назад +1

    You’re completely underestimating the Fever. Not as bad as Geno and his UConn bias, but nevertheless, you’re reporting erratic inconsistency, when that just isn’t the case. They’ve gotten significantly better each week. Aside from one truly lifeless game against the storm, they haven’t had another bad game since the end of that 11 game in 19 day stretch to begin the season.
    What’s scary is that CC hasn’t shot well in many games lately and they are still beating playoff teams. Once she finds her shot, they really may be #3.
    CCs turnovers are down, both self inflicted and teammate butterfinger varieties, AB is looking much smoother and agile, KM was actually looking to pass more in the flow of the game during this most recent game, Sides has shown a willingness to shuffle the lineup in extreme ways and seems to be exhibiting recognition of playing those who are playing better or have better matchups as opposed to playing favorites.

      It's debatable, but far from "crazy." The Power Rankings are based on how teams are playing recently, not overall records. The Fever have gone 8-5 after a 1-8 start, and the Mercury have gone 8-9 after a 3-1 start. The Fever also won their only head-to-head game against the Mercury so far, AT Phoenix no less. And the Fever just beat the best team in the league.
      So calling it "crazy" to rank the Fever above the Mercury is (sorry but I gotta say it) "a little crazy."
