Let’s put some respect on Candace Parker’s name for her debut record of 34 points that still stands!
I can't respect Candace Parker due to her immoral lifestyle.
@@TheRealTruth533but what about her game and achievements as a professional baller
Not a chance she is a nasty 🤮 person
These people were taking any negative talk about Caitlin as hating, even though all anyone was saying was the obvious thing that has been the case for 99% of rookies. So, until the next game, we deserve to gloat because yall were so obnoxious, we get to rub this one in your face.
Same way you took ALL criticism of Deion and Colorado as hate--and racism. So there's that. Like her or not, if not for Caitlin, this league would be as irrelevant today as it has been for 28 years.
@@petep5207 Do you know that he was someone that was doing that or are you just making things up?
@@petep5207 This a very outdated comment. The WNBA was on the rise before Clark showed up. Their revenue last year was twice as much as it was 5 years ago. They were a league that was losing money for a long time, but have been trending in a positive direction for a while now.
@petep5207 I was not among those people, but that is a fair criticism. What is not fair is what you said afterwards. The league has been growing substantially since the 2020 season. When all sports were shut down, the WNBA was among the few leagues that was still being shown. With no where else to go, people started tuning in and discovered how good the league was. Fans stuck around in 2021, that interest spread to the college game by 2022, and both leagues have seen considerable growth since then. You can attribute some of it to Clark for sure, but not all of it.
Alls I know, carrington was spectacular! She definitely made a fan.
It is the first game against a playoff team with great chemistry and talent. She will adjust and ball out. Real WNBA and basketball fans understand what happened Tuesday night.
I'm happy with all of this attention for women's game good and bad.
Her coach said Caitlin is " hangingout and dancing" on the court.😂😂😂
We talk about male athletes allllll day when they drop a pass or miss a shot. Now yall crying about this girl haha it’s the pros. Stop crying. She ain’t that good!! Haha
Exactly 💯💯💯 She's an overrated hype job 😂😆
Look those who know basketball know that early rookie struggles is a natural part of the game. Caitlin will be just fine. Hype and predictions are just part of the game. It's all entertainment at the end of the day. Loosen up a little bit people and let all unfold . She's a good player it'll happen in time.RELAX !
You really think that Caitlin had nothing to do with loss? Take a look at her stats and it may help to understand how she contributed to the loss. Don’t label her as ‘mamba’ because Kobe could create his own shot. At this level, the players are 100% better than college players. Iowa spoiled her by having every member on the team throw up screens for her all throughout the game, she needs to learn how to create space for herself.
Also, she better hurry and cash that NIKE check QUICK. 🤣🤣🤣
I see they had to move Ms Clark’s games to bigger venues because of all the people that want to see her play. The Clark effect is big time go CC
Boston was rookie of the year last year and scored 4 points! The Sun are no slouches. I am expecting an average of 15-18 points for the season. This is not the NCAA. It happens in all sports. Bird had a 10 TO game his rookie season. LOL
And that's all we were saying. It's going to be adjustment. Also, Boston doesn't bring the ball up, she has to get it in her spots, hard to do that when your point guard keeps giving the ball up to the other team.
Still think she'll end up closer to averaging 20, she won't play that level of competition every single night.... She'll have a few good ones, and some rough ones
It’s not the same in the NFL because rookies get months and months to practice with the team before the season starts.
The Fever are a bad team. She will need help
That part of being the Number One pick as CC was you get stuck with a crap team
She needs to get better at pulling her own weight before anyone needs to worry about her getting help.
I agree with the lady…a lot of people ain’t hating on her.
MJ before his rookie season had already won the gold medal in the Olympics…where for practice he beat the NBA All-Star team 9 times.
I am not a big fan of her but damn, it’s her first game. She is a rookie, y’all doing too much. Wtf
I wish people leave this girl alone .Let her play the game she love. People stop putting pressure on this girl. Shes no Goat but i love her3 shots.🤩👍🏿
Diana Taurasi was right.
Haters need to apologize to Taurasi.
"REALITY" is here
You see the last game of Taurasi ? 😂
They need to hire Mark Jackson so she can be un leash just like he did for the splash brothers, Too many of these coaches are traditional coaches, they have a coaching style and you better fit their style.
It's her 1st game.
Damn brother from another there was a big time rookie who was a sister and we barely heard a word about her!
is it just me , or does Caitlin Clark constantly push off defenders with her free hand when dribbling the ball to get separation ?
Let’s remember Michael Jordan’s rookie season…Recall the Chicago Bulls didn’t take off until they replaced Coach Doug Collin’s with Phil Jackson; and most importantly, drafting Horace Grant and Scotty Pippen. Therefore-in my humble opinion-Coach Sides won’t or shouldn’t last past the Olympics break! The WNBA can’t afford for Caitlin Clark not to have her Stephen Curry moments of shooting about 25 to 30 shots a game-and yes I’m talking about launching 3$-which is her money shot and what the fans wants to see out of Caitlin Clark this year! Nobody cares if the Fever has a winning record in Caitlin Clark’s rookie season. Anybody that has coached or played basketball on any meaningful level knows it take more than three practices for a team to learn each others strengths and weaknesses and where they like to receive the ball at or the floor. If I were the coach of the Indianapolis Fever I would run the Paul Westphal offense (just run and gun and try to out score the your-the Fever’s-opponents!) Then during the offseason the Fever can work on their defense- and offensive sets…But, for this year… can we please turn Caitlin Clark loose and let her run the same offense she ran at Iowa-that worked… Iowa made it to back-to-back NCAAW Championship games! Therefore, the style of basketball Caitlin Clark needs to play has been time tested and proven. And I know her teammates won’t have a problem playing the Paul Westphal style of offense because of Caitlin Clark’s passing ability they would be getting a lot of layups and wide open spot-up jump shots and 3$! Enough said…Call Coach Bluder so that she can show the WNBA fans what CC can do in Paul Westphal’s Run and Gun offense! The WNBA can’t afford to mess this up because as Eminem said-in “Lose Yourself…Look (WNBA you [have] one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, Would you capture it or just let it slip? Yo” (credit for the Eminem reference goes to KC of “Behind the Line” podcaster.
These need to take Caitlin Clark off the ball run multiple picks to free her up like the Pacers with Reggie Miller and the present day Golden State Warriors with Stephen Curry! This is a no brainer…run picks and screens along with the Paul Westphal offense is the only way to go!
So come on WNBA owners of the Indiana Fever, get Caitlin Clark and the rest of your Indiana Fever the coach they need or else you will [lose your fan base and that of the WNBA’$] or to quote Eminem - “Lose Yourself!”
Paul Westhead, not Westphal
@djnivekonea.k.adjnivek1517 - MJ was phenomenal in his rookie season, what are you talking about.
He didn’t have great team success but individual play he was incredible.
Stop comparing all time great NBA players to wnba players.
Compare CC to Sabrina or Plum . They have similar skill sets .
Thanks for the clarification… I knew it was Paul West (something)
Yes, Caitlin Clark is the new Michael Jordan 😂
Great white hype
Exactly 💯💯 Caitlin Clark has no defense and too many turnovers. She misses more 3's than she makes. 0-3 🗑️👎 totally overrated
The WNBA are the best Women in the world….sometimes they forget that qualifier and say they're the best in the world period….and that's when it gets ridiculous.
People are failing to realize that this is no longer college for her. And it’s not her coach fault that she is missing shots and they put the defense on her
She had one bad game. She's human damn give the girl a break. Haters!!
Im a new fan I will admit it.
Great defense 👏🏾 💜💛
Preach 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There were no sun fans.
If I wanted to set someone up to fail, I would make sure they play the two best defensive teams in the league for their first four games. Of course there was going to be a transition for Kaitlyn Clark. She is not physically dominant like some of those other players, her game is mental and skill. It’s gonna take her time with yelling with the new teammates and knowing where to be on the court and all those things and it would’ve helped if they started them off with a little easier competition, not two of the three best teams in the league for their first four games. I don’t know what anyone was expecting when they saw that. Most rookies are not having the other team devised the game plan specifically to stop them.
I just can’t believe I haven’t heard more of these factors in the discussion from experts. There’s nothing wrong with calling out her struggles. Obviously there is going to be a transition for her to the pro level. I watch the WNBA before this year and I know how good the league is. I have never seen a rookie, constant double teams and basically picked up court. It’s like the players are going out of their way to make sure the league does not grow. Nothing wrong with challenging Kaitlyn Clark, but I’ve never seen a rookie come in and have two best defensive teams in the league guarding them like it’s the finals in their first two games. They are defending her the way Denver was defending Jamal Murray in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in her first and second professional games. Who is going to succeed that way? So it’s going to take her time. There are some forces in the league that seem like they want her to succeed and others that seem like they would rather cut off their nose to spite their face out of jealousy. Nothing wrong with going out and competing against her. I just don’t see them picking up other players full courtin these games besides her. I don’t see constant teams for other veteran players who are better than her. So let’s just be honest when we talk about what’s actually happening out there.
Bandwagon jumpers get ready. Just like the NBA everyone all of a sudden is Dallas & Nuggets fans! 😂
so give her more than one game to say shes trash. her team is bad they had the worst record so if we smiling after one game make sure youndouble back when she start playing well and has a great team
No one said she’s trash, why you putting words in people mouths? She’ll have a learning curve but she will be an all star at minimum
The smugness tho...
The bandwagon fans will tune out shortly. Best of luck to the WNBA and their diehard fans. Cat wait for the college game next year though.
Bye 👋
Holly way more of a hater than Terrika lol he made me cringe here
With all the women and men that have played in WNBA / NBA isn't it ironic that there has never been a high profile marriage between a WNBA / NBA player. Seriously. Think about that. I guess the high level of Lesbians in the WNBA has made it difficult in addition to the lack of attractiveness, money and lets be honest behavior ( masculine energy) that a lot of WNBA players showcase. That's the truth.
I guess you're too hung up on lesbians to learn about Candace Parker and who she was married to first. Also, why would they need to marry each other? There men's & women's tennis, golf, soccer, etc. Do you expect them all to marry each other? You just wanted to insult the women in the league but you sound extremely immature.
@@mellod5615 Candace Parker is a disgrace. Her firtst marriage to Sheldon Williams was fake. He was a beard for Candace Parker. The WNBA is finished without Caitlyn Clark.
@@mellod5615 NBA players aren't interested in a bunch of Lesbians who hate men but want to be men.
are you gonna talk about angel reese game or only celebrate clarks bad first game
Did anyone say Angel was gonna dominate like no one has ever seen before? No..so why would they talk about her in this way..she literally said only Brink had a solid first game
The girl 🧒 s a rookie,u talk like she been in the league 10 years.
The media and her super fans did a splendid job at this. They knew she was a rookie yet they said she was gonna come in and dominate right away. They put too much pressure on that young lady. She is only human. I know she will bounce back but she has to go through the process just like every other rookie. Think they just gonna stand by and let her win? She gonna have to work hard to earn whatever title they choose to give her.
Y’all just HATING cause she has more PUBLICITY than
“ANGLE RESSE”
WHITE LIVES MATTER TO,
NOT JUST BLACK.
Stop hating on the white girl.
Once regular season start than talk!!!!
Everything is about race! Be quite racist! Angel always living rent free in your mind 🥴🥴🥴
Haters Hate
Wait she's had 3 weeks to practice with her new team and didn't do well against a team that's been playing together for years? No
She needs to learn how to play D...and if you're not scoring you need to be getting rebounds.
If they go hard after her, and she’s just average, I’m tuning out. When she got in foul in the first game a I switched to the NBA.
Yes Caitlin Clark is getting her wake up call but the entire WNBA is gonna get a wake up call if she's a bust. The numbers don't lie. People are only watching her. 2.1 million viewers for her first game. The 2nd game of Aja Wilson and the Aces( the world Champs ) vs Diana Taurus and whoever her team is, 400,000 views. So the women in the WNBA better hope Caitlin Clark succeeds
Let’s hear you tell the truth about al Boston. Talk about how slow she is or how good awful she plays
CC got too much publicity for grim and dour old timers to handle well so they double, triple teamed her so make sure that her debut performance would not be as good as projected which worked, and they mugged her excessively. In another game, in contrast, the apposition gave Turasi a lot of space to maneuver, for example, which indicates the vindictiveness and pettiness toward Clark. Sides and the refs were OK with it.

Caitlin is the only rookie we care about stop telling lies
Definitely not lmao. This entire rookie class is stacked with future superstars. Angel, Nika, Jacy, Kamilla, Caitlin, Cameron, Rickea Jackson, Kate Martin, D Fair etc
I'm speaking facts nobody was talking about these other women until Caitlin Clark and that's the truth
They're just waiting for her downfall. We still Team caitlin❤❤
Who is we?
Who is we?
She's too good for the WNBA. Sthu
Yes he is
I’m black man, but this racism for CC is getting annoying & hypocritical. It’s not her fault she’s marketable & actually going to help the league get some upgrades if they play this right. Funny they don’t bring up the Angels debut was also a dud.
As someone who identify as Green you sir get no credibility because you say that you're black. You are a loser 😂
Not a shoe deal caliber player!
Dump sides
so give her more than one game to say shes trash. her team is bad they had the worst record so if we smiling after one game make sure youndouble back when she start playing well and has a great team
