@@donnamoore2832 and against the sun you are never sure whose side she's on. Is she going to leak our gameplan to Carrington? I wouldn't put it past her.
She has the worst ft% of bigs …maybe in the league. 55.2% currently. That’s nearly unplayable. Any team will just foul her and take 1 pt instead of two.
Smith is/was, even prior to this idiotic remark, THE weaklink on the team. She needs to go. The team needs a better PF. As it is, even now, she should be on the bench in favor of either Fagb or Dontas. Way too inconsistent, way too fallible. Hopefully the team can sort out the position in the offseason.
Smith needs to be gone the SECOND the season is over! The Fever should be trying to curate not only a DEADLY team but a PROFESSIONAL team at the same time to surround Caitlin Clark. They do not need the on-court inconsistency and off-court conflict of interest that Smith brings to the locker room.
For the season, Smith averages 1 assist per game and shoots 57% from the FT line. She always looks to score and never to pass, which would be alright if she scored like KM, but alas, NO. She should be on the bench 90% of the time.
I don't think y'all are watching these games. All she does is pass💀 that's why she only averages 10 points. She averaged 15 last year and 13 the year before that. She attempts less shots than every starter rn.💀
Smith played good the first half. Not much to talk about 2nd half. Smith wants the recognition then she needs to improve her game. It’s up to her. What Smith says just makes you question her loyalty to the team. Glad Fever got the win 🌺🌺🌺
NAH, she has to go. She has taken a clear dive multiple times. Especially against the Sun. I have witnessed her GIFT Dijonai points (via fouls) and steals to pad her GF's stats and help her for DPOY. Smith has been compromised all season. Plus, she is a cancer. This team gets enough shyt thrown at them by CC haters. Don't need an actual FEVER doing it, too.
Smith has been terrible this season. And her girlfriend is a jealous instigator. Boston, Fagbenle, & Damiris can fortify the frontcourt in the playoffs. In the off-season Smith should be traded & the PF position upgraded.
There is no way Smith should even be in the roster for the game vs the Sun. She will probably fight her own teammates and sabotage them, she wants out this offseason anyway. If Lynn Dunn and Christie Sides bring her to Connecticut they both should loose their job immediately...
Nah ur half way wrong on this one....I'm fine with smith sitting on the bench but Samuelson is a good spot up shooter the problem is they don't look to get there shooters involved in the game....the only time her and Lexie hall get shot attempts is usually off of a broken play...but other then that the fever usually never look to get those 2 involved in the game...shit Lexie hall usually gets herself involved in the game most of the time and that's coming from a fever fan...just saying.
Smith’s negative effect on the team goes way beyond her physical ineptitude and poor decision making. She’s not a team player…bad for team chemistry, players on the floor feel it and certainly will hamper any real success for the Fever in the playoffs. Best for Fever’s chances of playing their best is if she’s benched until traded next year.
Our best chance against the Suns is to start Fagbenle at the 4 spot guarding Thomas and pray that she can stay out of foul trouble. Smith is a terrible matchup against Thomas and Dantas might be too slow. Wouldn’t even consider playing Samuelson.
@@driger888 - Do not care. I have literally SEEN her take a dive vs the Sun--multiple times. You do NOT play her any any cost--which means Sides will play her all 40 minutes if she can.
@@driger888 - You are preaching to the choir. Smith cannot be trusted--especially against her girlfriend. I watch every single game. I have seen her literally throw the ball right into a Sun defender's hands--intentionally--who is about 4-5 feet away from her.
The Smith Carrington relationship is not their personal business. It is a violation of their professional duty. Name me another business where rivals are allowed to be in romantic relationships. It should not be allowed. Period.
@@v2807 it's common in women's team sports but what's not common is how sloppy Smith is about it. She's unprofessional with it which calls into question her as a player. She doesn't realize how she comes off to fans. She makes herself look mentally weak
Nalyssa Smith is horrible, she is still the worse defender in the league, can't win contested rebounds, has hard time handling passes and just always seems lost.
This is even more of an argument for Smith to be on the bench and not be a starter. There is too much about her loyalty that is unclear not to mention her liability overall. .
Samuelson isn't starting and should not be playing; too slow on a fast paced offense and not a good defender. Smith should not be playing over 10% of the time.
@@driger888 smith had the worst plus minus on the floor dallas vs fever. temi had the highest. there is something that temi does that makes a difference. KM AB CC Hull all should be getting shots before smith. and no assists from smith. She took two more shots than Hull. and played ten less minutes.
Fever have lost several games due to Sides game plan of forcing the ball inside to Smith and running the offense through Smith to get her “touches” so yeah. That’s what happens when Smith gets touches. Turnovers, due to forced shots, bricks thrown at the rim , dropped passes and missed layups. This is the mustard girl trying to throw a wedge in the Fever before playoffs knowing they will face each other and the Fever are better than Sun.
What Nalyssa Smith doesnt understand is Carringtons position in the league is more set that hers. So the fact that shes allowing her partner to disrupt her team shows that she needs to distance herself from her. How can she be a good partner & not respect your career? In my opinion the Connecticut Sun is a dirty team & no surprise if Carrington sees the Fever coming & is trying to break them from within.
I'm with you in spirit there, but the fact is they'll need her rebounding, Dantas and Temi just won't be able to play enough combined minutes to replace Smith's, and Katie Lou has faded into obscurity- so like it or not she'll still have her 20 minutes a game
Smith is a player whose performance is directly proportional to her confidence level and the amount of distractions she is dealing with. While she is probably their best forward on her good days, it seems that she isn't mentally strong enough to play at that level for long stretches of games and is in a relationship with a narcissist. Most of smith's tweets aren't particularly aggressive and tend to be one or 2 words. Her brother and partner on the other hand are very active and vocal on social media. When you have someone like her brother inflating her ego 24/7 and a partner that is very loud and needy it is mentally draining. It is also hard for coach to minimize distractions when the player is unwilling to compromise on the people around them. They end up resentful of their coach and it exacerbates any tensions that arise naturally amongst competition and loss management. Nobody wants to be viewed as the weak link. Sides isn't helping things either as her coaching decisions are just as inconsistent as Smiths play. Of the available forwards on the fever Smith has the most stamina and is the most healthy so she is getting the opportunities to prove herself. In reality she needs to perform well to maximize her value post fever. So she clearly wants to play well. We can see it in the types of shots that she is attempting in an effort to display skills. The problem is that she needs a lot of touches to establish a rhythm and the fever play a system that prioritizes even distribution with heavy ball movement and cuts. Basically they prioritize the ease of the shot over the individual players through aggressive passing. Smith has been going for flashy higher risk shots to look good but has been unable to execute. It is unfortunate that she has all this extra baggage messing up her game because if she played smarter and passed the ball more she would get some assist on her box stats while getting easier looks from the threat of the pass. That would organically increase her value to both the fever and other teams. Right now she isn't looking good to quality teams that don't have a history of investing in messy players with talent.
I do not like smiths attitude. Not team oriented. She needs to work on her defense and decision making on offense. She has some great plays but can’t be consistent with them
Gets killed on defense, doesn’t do enough offensively, and can’t make FTs. 🤷🏿♂️ She has decent footwork for a girl her size. She’d be pretty good if she worked on her shooting and just general decision making. I feel for her. She knows she might get traded.
All valid points- but she is #14 in the league in rebounding while averaging only 25 minutes a game- not sure who makes up those boards if you don't play her
It is the Fever's business concerning Smith and Mustard Barbie. Smith and Katie Lou HAVE TO GO. Offer Satou the allowed maximum and pursue her aggressively.
You could make a case that more of the drama is generated by fans on-line than by players on the court- not that there isn't some player drama, but it gets blown up 100 times on social media:)
Smith is certainly erratic, frequently with considerable wondering if it is intentional or unintentional . That coupled with her steady and consistent inability to make free throws makes her a liability. Free throws and layups are the first skills learned in BB. Her two arms overhead form simply has too many degrees of freedom. She needs to practice a motion that has one plane of motion constrained. Sometimes it looks like Smith is being coached by Reese by the way Smith flails the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the basket as her layup ?!.
Yes, it's clear that part of her FT shooting woes are due to a fundamentally poor shooting form- you'd think a pro hoop player would have a better one- and you'd think the coaches would try to adjust it- but something like that is an off-season fix
According to the WNBA statistics page, NaLyssa is -77 over the last 15 games and -38 over the last five games. Tell me again why she deserves more minutes? Is she a DEI hire? 🤣
Nalyssa easily the weakest link in the group fails to finish 8-10 times just can’t trust her to have her head in the game and give maximum effort. I’m glad her hunny bunny thinks she should get participation accolades whether it helps the team or hurts.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if Connecticut loses the remaining two, and Vegas wins their remaining two, Aces will be third and will face the Fever. But then again, Connecticut will be playing Sky.
it's a bit weird when all the people competing against eachother are dating. I don't think this would be allowed in many proffesions due to ethical concerns, which become even more highlighted with gambling.
Smith could be a great player if she wanted. She had one spectacular game before the All star break then slacked off. She can't block out and shoot free throws consistently but I know coach is gonna keep pressing her. Samuelson should have taken the year off cause she has a child and has not recovered enough to help this team at all. I doubt they can get Satou Sabally tho.
To those who know, because I don't but would like to, please post. Why could not the Fever just let Smith "GO", give her the pink slip?. Financial? Other? Or is it best for the Fever to just let her sit on the bench or even in the locker room. I think she is sabotaging her free throws or she is trying to be the WNBA equivalent of Shaq.
Sides is not a tough enough coach for Smith. She needs constant motivation. The thing with the girlfriend is soap opera worthy and concerns me from a basketball aspect
She needs to if fever plays the sun I believe that Smith will throw the game for her gf and Smith probably bet on her own team losing to the sun in the playoffs.
They’re gonna core Sabally. She’s not gonna be a FA… Magbegor is a free agent after next season and would be the perfect PF for the Fever. For now, idk who can fill in for smith
Just wondering what Smith meant by fun while it lasted. Is she talking about her playing minutes, or that she thinks the Fever won't get past the first playoff round vs the Sun?
If you don't play a player how do you expect a player to improve or mesh well with her teammates. Her 1sr season, they played her because she was supposed to be the 1st pick. Personally, she's not being utilized by the Fever in the way she should be played. If you don't play someone, then why would expect them to go hard in the paint for a team that only drafted you to be a bench rider. Let her go and watch her ball hard against this team that is crappy at management. She WILL BE picked up by another team quickly.
U will never ever see any bs like this in mens major sports 2 men on the same team or the opposition dating. Unheard of and will never happen and as the women's game grows and more money is involved this is gonna be a problem
So, this is being blown way out of proportion, & even out of scope. NS's response to her partner's loving post was obviously said with a lighthearted bent, & in next to no way even intimates the sort of selfishness that so many are reading into it. Let's stick to intellectual honesty, & focus on the real slights, as they abound.
I would chill a bit. That very easily could have been a double entendre. Smith is eratic, if she screwed her head on straight and was consistent but can't focus for the entire game. It is like she has ADD.
You totally discount the importance of defense, particularly in the playoffs. Indiana is a horrible defensive team. And only one superior defensive player, Hull.
Sooo...poor timing. I like NyLyssa, but must wonder if she is going to tank the game for Carrington or something else. Did Carrington trigger her to diss the Fever or Carrington. Who knows but Carrington loves to trigger BS.
The Fever are still a year or two away from being real contenders, they need better players n a starting power forward or just play four guards to start games.
Smith is a liability on offense, she takes shots, gets fouled and MISSES free throws. Smith is a liability on defense, she's a CONE, never moves her feet, then fouls. She does not need to start, she needs to come off of the bench and contribute for the Fever. Honestly i think she smokes weed before the games and should stop doing that.
DIANA TAURASI bashed the stanchion in her game against the Sky, and the refs LOOKED THE OTHER WAY. Not Caitlin!!

She seemed to have the FT thing figured out there for a while, but has lost it recently. She just doesn't do well in a fast paced, full court game.
Simple!!!
At the End of the SEASON!!
RELEASE OR TRADE!!! SMITH AND KATIE LOU!!!
SLOW AND SORRY!!!
I wish the criticisms of Sides and Smith to stop... Its playoffs time... Let the Fever not lose their focus...
I wish people weren't so soft.
As a Fever Fan,,, We do not want to play the Aces , right off the bat,,, Suns Rva much better fit
Haters are going to hell!
But Objective long time basketball fans are right on the money with questioning Smiths ongoing subpar performances! Truth! 😇
Just wondering what Smith meant by fun while it lasted. Is she talking about her playing minutes, or that she thinks the Fever won't get past the first playoff round vs the Sun?
Or she will be leaving the team when the season is done.
My prediction fever will win game 1 & game 3 against the Connecticut suns.
If you don't play a player how do you expect a player to improve or mesh well with her teammates. Her 1sr season, they played her because she was supposed to be the 1st pick. Personally, she's not being utilized by the Fever in the way she should be played. If you don't play someone, then why would expect them to go hard in the paint for a team that only drafted you to be a bench rider. Let her go and watch her ball hard against this team that is crappy at management. She WILL BE picked up by another team quickly.
Smith sucks....she doesn't do anything at a high level
U will never ever see any bs like this in mens major sports 2 men on the same team or the opposition dating. Unheard of and will never happen and as the women's game grows and more money is involved this is gonna be a problem
So, this is being blown way out of proportion, & even out of scope. NS's response to her partner's loving post was obviously said with a lighthearted bent, & in next to no way even intimates the sort of selfishness that so many are reading into it. Let's stick to intellectual honesty, & focus on the real slights, as they abound.
Smith misses a lot of layups … good to work on in the off season
I don’t care about her relationship it’s her terrible foul shots and defense that’s the issue
You should never have the ball in the paint if you can’t make free throws. Smith is a liability
Let Dantas get more minutes
I would chill a bit. That very easily could have been a double entendre.
Smith is eratic, if she screwed her head on straight and was consistent but can't focus for the entire game. It is like she has ADD.
You totally discount the importance of defense, particularly in the playoffs. Indiana is a horrible defensive team. And only one superior defensive player, Hull.
Sooo...poor timing. I like NyLyssa, but must wonder if she is going to tank the game for Carrington or something else. Did Carrington trigger her to diss the Fever or Carrington. Who knows but Carrington loves to trigger BS.
a twitter post? really, who cares.
The Fever are still a year or two away from being real contenders, they need better players n a starting power forward or just play four guards to start games.
They need a better coach
why is Spider man missing from your shelve
She should first make free throws before she asks for more touches.
Like your channel...can you upgrade your audio? It's terrible
No problem with this audio for me
She deleted the tweet, btw...
Smith is a liability on offense, she takes shots, gets fouled and MISSES free throws.
Smith is a liability on defense, she's a CONE, never moves her feet, then fouls.
She does not need to start, she needs to come off of the bench and contribute for the Fever.
Honestly i think she smokes weed before the games and should stop doing that.
