She averaged 5 TO’s in college, it’s a pretty glaring weakness in her game that she needs to work on.
She'll clean it up with experience. Remember that crazy dumb behind the back turnover Steph had in the 2016 finals...
They shouldn’t be using her as much. Not 40%.
Anyone who dominates the ball like she does will average a lot of turnovers.
Peyton led the NFL in interceptions his first year. Can't judge someone in the first year. I also think next year she might have a new coach. I see people screaming to fire Sides.
She will! Most of it is teamates not being ready for her passes and yeah, opponents are going to be hard on her, every single game.
Stephen won’t even listening to what they were saying 😂😂😂
That’s usual for him!
He always has his own agenda on whatever show he comes. So he sticks to his agenda and what he wants to say....usually very loud...no matter what anyone else is saying.
He just there today to see the beautiful ladies 😁 he dont care what they talkin bout
Bc They too busy passively hating & trying 2 implicate others names we don't care abt rn.
@@one3birdmane The other names you don't care about smothered her.
Stephen A didn’t hear a single word they said 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤭🤭🤭👍
This was like Lonzo going against Pat Bev game one
TRU😂 but the media kinda overhyped her a little bit
Nah Lonzo wasn't seeing doubles that was all pat bev lol
Poor comparison casual 🤣
I just told someone this lol
@@4evarichbaby644& you just told a bold face lie 😂😂
Connecticut is a veteran playoff team, this outcome is no surprise
It is only surprising to Iowa fanaticals!
Her team sucks
Excuses ,excuses, CC need to learn to play for the team and not the fans, no wonder she never won any championships on any level.
@@judgejurylw1026 The team sucked that’s why the king moves around you can’t do by yourself da
@@henryg9279new CC Fans in general.. they don’t know basketball they only know she can make logo threes and that’s entertaining..
The defenders trying to go with the 20 pts. But 10 turnovers is insane
Some of those points came in garbage time when the game was over.
no HC should make a player like CC feed the post all game, especially when the post players can't catch or finish her passes
lol facts if it was angel reese they would be saying something different 😂
I could care less tbh about defending her but it is her first game.. 20 points in your debut while being double teamed is pretty impressive
@@tigerhoods7927 imagine if bayou Barbie could dribble and shoot..
Yall hyped this up. Let her enjoy her rookie year.
Never mind enjoying. She is enjoying all the pageantry too much. She needs to buckle down and get to work.
This is sports, there are exceptions
She did something that hasn’t been done before, what you expect?…….
@BradJames878 So if she doesn't meet your expectations you cancel her. Ok. ATTENTION TO CATLIN CLARK AND ANGEL RESSE, AND ALL OTHER ROOKIES@ BradJames878 is loosing sleep because your game doesn't meet his criteria. I don't know. I guess he's some basketball guru coach who has a high IQ. So ladies while your battling on the court remember @BradJames878. So he can get some peace and relaxation.
@CN-gw5nt She playing with grown women now. This is going to be physical. School is out now.
That welcome to the league moment hit her as it does with everyone
It doesn’t hit everyone. Maybe that makes you feel better saying it, doesn’t make it true
Pretty sure not everyone has 20 points in their welcome-to-the-league moment.
Or 10 turnovers @@timm439
@@EmiliosFather ? Pretty sure every athlete ever would tell u that they had a welcome to the league moment but okay 🤣
10 TOs is wild
@@timm439 5-of-15 is great to you lol
I share Chiney's excitement in having a wnba discussion on first take. As longtime fan of the wnba I am overjoyed at the attention Clark and reese are bringing to the league!!!! I hope to see this more during the season.
Physicality and speed is tougher than college. She found that out.
They basically co-signed Taurasi’s comments
Because taurasi is right
@@carladavis1473how when Caitlin dropped 20
@@Cwe-35you must’ve missed the poor shooting percentage and 10TOs 🙄
@@icarusc44 okay? That’s not happening every game
@@Cwe-35 you must’ve missed what Taurasi actually said along with the fact you tried to tout a 20pt performance on 33% shooting. Sometimes it’s better to listen and learn than to speak on topics that the understanding isn’t clear.
They warned her ....these are grown women... Not star struck end of the bench girls who just let you do whatever you want.
This is her first game. If she stays focused and improves next season, she'll be smoking these grown women.
@@ahmorgan keep dreaming she will learn she NOT that good and you fake fans will disappear
@@rezsurfer2808Keep dreaming, you!
oh yeahhh ok. She really told her....meanwhile CC drop 20 on them....hahaha
@@rezsurfer2808lol "fake fans will disappear" so basically your WNBA league will disappear
This is the best thing that could’ve happened for the WNBA. It legitimizes the talent in the league.
Yes, they needed a white girl to do that.
😅😅😅
She averaged very close to 5 TO per game in her entire college career.
The talent in the WNBA was legitimate waaay before CC got there. She needs the league more than the league needs her
outstanding point.
I watched alot of her games in College and what she needs is to develop a mid range game. She doesnt have a mid range game at all. She does that and she'll be unstoppable.
Agree. Her offense is predictable. Almost 100% of the time she wants to side step left, gather and shoot. If you deny her doing that, she power dribbles and goes to the lane. I call her NASCAR cause she always wants to go left when she shoots 3s. Not easy to stop but predictable.
@@fornikatorEXACTLY! That’s what I’ve been saying too.
Also, her mentality game. When she gets frustrated, that mental game gets in her way of playing. She's her own enemy. Something I too saw in the last 2 college games that I've seen against UCONN and South Carolina game. She loses focus. But yeah, she's just a rookie and she is probably going to continue do rookie things. I've heard from many W players and retires talking about their experiences and struggle into the professorial league against a lot of the grown women. And how they had to adjust and even change some of their gaming aspects to continue playing.
Yes. Her game is very predictable. They were prepared and ready.
@@goodpainlive That is called NOT A GOOD PLAYER
Whether she had best game ever by a rookie or the worst game ever by a rookie, it says nothing about the future of her career. Relax people.
It does, so you're looking at it with a cup half full mindset. The defense is only going to get better, if she does get better, then teams are going to scheme to take her out of games. And not to mention, she could blow out her knee this season, or get pregnant and never be the same. Clearly I'm not wishing any harm to her, but that's sports.
it is her attitude and body language that turns me off. constant complaining to the officials. she is unwatchable to me. That will be the last WNBA game I watch.
@@edwardkrasnai6488 Well, bye!
Yall sound like idiots lmao
This would be true for a regular rookie. If I remember correctly, she was supposed to be a generational talent. So she doesn't get to live by the regular rookie standard now that she has been exposed as regular!
First game ever as a pro, it’s part of it
lol yall clowns are hilarious
@@tigerhoods7927 you're a flaming racist arent you
Growing and learning is part of the rookie curve, but 10 turnovers is not. That's a lot.
But in all honesty it's not her fault. She's a victim of the quick turnover from college to pros. Most pros get an off-season give her time
@@simonhowell4486 she average over 5 turnovers a game in college.
It’s literally never happened before lmao
The way Fever team played tonight, they should have used the bus instead of a (chartered)flight.
😂😂😂😂 funny
2:25 that highlight would not have been on sports center
That was a really enjoyable, respectful, and intelligent discussion. So rare now that I think about it.
10 turnovers is nasty work they suffocated her
At least four of those were on Aliyeah Boston who looked slow and out of shape. And the woman from the Sun with the triple double had 7, so...
Alot of those were the lack of awareness & skill from other players more than Caitlin
@@RogerPilcherstill bad on Clark end no excuses
lol!!! 20 points is nice.....I wouldn't exactly say that was suffocating...haha
But the TEAM had over 23 TO
Tuned in for CC, learnt about how great that Sun team is. Wow they are top notch. Next lesson will be Liberty. Cant wait to see the hype about the Aces with my own eyes as well. These WNBA teams are stacked
Best comment!!! Glad you are enjoying. I am to check out the other rookies too. A rookie no one is talking about Stephanie Soares is with the dallas wings is doing well. La sparks rookie Brink is good and Angel Reese doing well in CHI too. This rookie class is good and they are learning fast.
20 points on 15 shots SAS stop the cap!!!!
'We don't think the women of the WNBA understand just yet. Caitlin Clark doesn't need the WNBA, the WNBA needs. Caitlin Clark'...
Why is no one talking about how a rookie had 20 points while the rest of the squad had less than 10 points each?
Took the most shots not that hard to do
These ladies talked about that elsewhere. CC’s usage rate was 41% last night which is the same as it was at Iowa. No way should her usage rate be that high.
She had the ball 41% of the time hard to score when you don't have the ball.
Naylssa Smith had 13 points but yeah the rest scored single digits
@@larrylindgren9484 Usage rate is litterally a terrible stat. You could have 30 assist and have a 0% usage rate.
the statues didnt move to help her get open for her passes
Literally. Such a terrible team.
WNBA players- 'Where are our chartered flights??'
Sold out your tickets first, management answer.😂
They're on Caitlin Clark's runway....
Caitlin turned the flights over. 🤣
@@BradJames878 she ant turn that check over hater
Well after that performance, poor Caitlin might have to go back to flying on Spirit in the coach section 😂😂
This is why I don't like when ESPN covers the wnba. They never criticize them or go hard on them. Everything is positive. If a nba rookie played like this in his nba debut Stephen a would be going in rn
Bud, they wouldn't even be talking about the WNBA rn if she wasn't in the league...
@tylers9476 they've talked about the wnba before she showed up and everything they said was positive. Granted, they are going to talk about it more now that she's in the league. They're still not going to criticize her harshly or any other WNBA player like they do when nba players have poor performances.
Go hard? This isn’t the NBA 😂
@Cwe-35 Dont cover the sport if you aren't willing to go hard or criticize it like you do the other sports...
@@Cwe-35 I wouldn't expect a caitlin clark fan boy to understand that
Thank you Stephen A, for telling those women how it is!!!
It’s her first game calm tf down everyone. As soon as Caitlin makes any type of mistake ESPN all over. Hopefully she can handle the pressure
Caitlyn Clark put up 20 points in her first game against the best defensive team in the league. Impressive!!
Not at all impressive.. garbage time points and what was her fg% ?
I can proudly say ive never seen a actual game of clark
The Suns have had the best defense in the W for years. People need to learn about the WNBA.
You mean that fact you just learned on the night the Sun played the Fever? You just started "watching" the WNBA thsi week. Sit the fuk down.
You know your a great player when they double team you during your debut like it's a finals game..
Anx you still score 20 lmao. It's wild that this is being spun as purely negative.
Double team? Defense simply switched on screens.
Let's see how the WNBA ratings are a year from now when the "shiny and new" factor has worn thin.
Next year Paige Buckets and more. NCAA talent is deep
There's that Canadian woman going to Duke that can dunk easy. That will be fun to watch
You do realize if Catlin Clark doesn’t succeed or gets injured those ratings won’t be any good right? The ratings weren’t good at all last season ….
WNBA will keep growing in viewership
what shiny and new factor? when has that ever been relevant for sports. people watch for greatness not newness
I was at the game, there are levels, Connecticut showed the Defense at the highest level. Their defense was intense, ya gotta admire that and the coaching.
Sorry but 10 turnovers and a 30% shooting percentage is NOT good.
The point they are making is that for most rookies' first game it could've been a lot worse
Well, she had the most points for her team!! Where were her teammates? They were slow and sloppy. If you’re going to list her mistakes then list her achievements!
a bb AND???
@@stormyweather9917 AANNDD?
Let's see them spin this into "being good for the league"
Lol!!!! Are you really that dumb. The kid dropped 20 on the best defensive team in the league.
2.1 million viewers is certainly good for the league
*I’m 99% sure this was the first time Stephen A. Has been in a room with three women that wasn’t family members*

Diane was right
Her team is terrible, most of the turnovers were her teamates not being ready for a pass.
I agree I felt like she would have gone to a team like the Minnesota Lynx or NY Liberty
The entire game was suspect on several levels yet Caitlyn still shined as one of the top 4 players despite not starting, not getting any calls and basically getting sabotaged.
I agree. She was really putting a lot of effort.
She is not nothing we never saw b4, Angel will have a better career
CC has never acted like the pros would come easy. She’s never said she plays for girls who look like her or blamed criticism of her on race. She doesn’t pull hair and push and shove and brawl, or treat basketball games like a fashion show. She takes total ownership of her performance and doesn’t blame her team. Time and time again she shows up and plays hard and treats others with grace and humility. She cares about the community and being a role mode to all young girls. For all those reasons she is already a tremendous success. The 10 turnovers is a testament to the skill of the Connecticut Sun and Clark’s inexperience, but she had 3 or 4 steals herself and was the leading scorer for the Fever. Her supporters would have liked to see her score 30 and have half as many turnovers, but anyone who is realistic knows there will be an adjustment period between college and the pros, and this was a very solid first game.
Yeah but her delusional fans did
Well said!!
Your mad at ppl exposing racism,and getting D threats? you should have been raised better
@@littv1610 What racism and what death threats? Please be specific so we can stop it.
Dumb comment
You can't say *I* when you win and *we* when you lose.
Ya'll are the one's that hyped Caitlin Clark as being the face of the WNBA.
Now all I'm hearing is excuses.
Just play basketball.
This is the real world, no one's going to give you anything.
Who tf says "Is this a safe space" on national tv...
Women. That's why I don't watch ESPN no more
Diana Taurasi was right. Caitlin has a lot to learn about the WNBA level. She was awful in the first game. She shot 5-15 and turned it over 10 times? Anybody else would have been benched. Most coaches won't let you get to 10 turnovers.
As they said elsewhere, her usage rate was like 41% which is what it was at Iowa. Her usage rate should not be that high in the W.
Lol 1 game kid, calm down...
GROWN Women’s sport
No actually, most players could never dream of having that kind of freedom to go get 10 turnovers. There’s a LOT of learning experiences in basically getting to experiment that much to the point you have 10 TO’s. It takes your game to the next level. Most players are on such a short leash today that it actually stunts their growth ….Having a green light like that to fail without punishment from your coach is the best thing a hooper could ask for.
Her team sucks give her some players she will eat league up mj
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. She giving yall money 😂
How her playing bad equates to other people biting her hand???
@@commonsense3921 Lol far from your username kid
@@user-vf9ub6pg8y nah I didn’t watch it. I’m just saying they want money they got it lol but only time will tell.
Remember, without Caitlin, these people wouldn't have a show to talk on
20 & 10 double double w TOs is diabolical work!!!
I don't understand because for as long as can remember, everyone was trashing and degrading women's sports as low quality, boring and that they would lose to high school boys teams as to reasons why no one watches women's sports?
Idiots
They did say that but it was mostly because it wasn’t exciting
I'm legit glad I don't see "I had spaghetti for lunch" comments. 😅
Thank you Caitlin because this league has never been respected. Hopefully this is a turning point for these professional women basketball players!
i play 1 season of college football n i’ll never forget the first week of camp and how much faster everybody seemed but once u got acclimated to it some success came with it.
No other WNBA player is getting double team like her and she’s a rookie! Shows just how good she is
She will be fine. It's an adjustment. It's not college anymore. She just starts her career off with a tough veteran team like the Sun and next she has the Liberty who made the finals last year. It's a tough start for a rookie on a team that was bad last year, but she will adjust and she and her teammates will continue to grow and get better together
Yea, they said Rhonda rousey would be fine after she got knocked out again 😂😂😂
@@steelliving8785 Very bad comparison. A fighter close to the end of her fighting career compared to a rookie basketball player in their first game
Don't get me wrong here because I think Caitlin is a great talent and will become a top level WNBA player but.... Yah, 20pts on 5/15, only 3 assists and zero rebounds with a 41% usage is a 'good game' in what world? It is an expected game from a rookie making their first start but that isn't a good stat line. 41% usage is just stupid for a rookie's first game, that needs to come way WAY down. No one in the NBA has anything close to that, not Labron, not Joker, not Curry... No one in the WNBA has close to that... Indiana cannot win with Caitlin having a 41% usage, as a rookie if they keep that up they won't even make the playoffs.
Yeah that usage rate is ridiculous
Same ball hog she was in college so looks like that didn't change.
@@larrylindgren9484 That ball hog is a playmaker and has the most number of assists in college.

why can't we just wait and see it is just one game.
I love this
Great commentary from the two wnba ladies. Very in-depth.
You must be white
I like her resilience, but 10 turnovers is much.
A lot of Caitlin’s turnovers were here mates not catching and amazing defense. I think once the team gets use to her that will end.
It's one game, we actin like we ain't see nba pgs get 10 turnovers before
@@sakpase88Right Russell Westbrook exists.
@@deontecallaway4026 fr 😂
She have a big issue, well 2 that she will have to fix quick to be a success in the league. One, she is not a great ball handler, South Carolina proved that. her lack of great ball handling skills and time with the ball led to TO in college and will do the same in the league.
Next, after a TO or bad play, she don't hustle back to defend, at all. She have to correct this quickly. IF you just look at this video highlights, you will see where there is a turnover, and she don't get back. She have to fix those two things quick.
The most important thing is there is no time to rest from NCAA finals to league practice, there is very little time to adjust and learn to play on different level.
We won't sit here and play like there isn't a learning curve, its going to take a full year to adjust to the physicality and the speed but she will be alright. she has no problem adjusting and finding her spots.
Defenses are too good; Clark needs a good shot to the right. Until then just make her go right: Gamecocks did and the Sun followed up.
Why Stephen A not talking about Angel Reese debut game tonight?
Dam good lookin' segment 😮❤
Catlin isn’t very good against athletic guards
That part! And it’s a bunch of them in the WNBA 😅
Exactly!
20 points is good next time they play she will have at least 27 points

The WNBA & NBA are filled with the best college players at their respective schools and, of course, some high school players who were exceptional, so there's no question it was gonna be tough for her. She'll learn what she needs to do as time and games pass, but this level of pressure and high expectations of 1 game to make or break interest in women's basketball is beyond insane!
That first half was a struggle lol. But she's just a rookie and let's be honest. Indiana's roster isn't that great, they're not turning into the Aces because of one rookie.

We are talking about scoring not digs b.s these girls are jealous too .haters going to hate ever one of them ,they couldn’t bring the crowd is why there jealousy each one .
DITTO!
The "That's so Raven" nod ❤️❤️
it's awesome for her to face challenges and obstacles as quickly as possible
Only thing about this conversation is despised that the goal post is moved for her it’s ridiculous. Now it’s she just have to score not dominate or win. She literally chucking up three pointers. So have to be an overall basketball just score. I see why the older wnba players don’t like the narrative. Cause y’all hyping her up because she is white. It’s so obvious i feel sad for her
Oh stop the race BS.
🤣because she’s white. Just say you hate white people
Why would you tear down the person that single handedly brought attention to the WNBA, especially after her first game?
Being backed by ESPN is blessing and curse. Because as soon as she makes any type of mistake they will forget how good she is 💀
They gonna get welcomed this season
The two ladies were insightful and correct. Mr. Steven was kind and correct. The ladies shared how she could get better and how they got better.
Here our my ways to get better based on my experience with HS Athletes.
As I watched this game I observed the following:
1. Clark and the rest of the team need to move without the ball. To much standing and watching. Cut back door or come to the pass if your feet are still your going to loose.
2. Clark needs to get stronger. Weights, plyometrics, and yoga.
3. Clark needs to get stronger and move better on defense. Weights, plyometrics, and yoga.
4. Clark needs to develop a fall away and turn around jumper with in the 12 feet of the basket.
5. The pressure has to be immense on the rookie who was a college force just a month ago. With off court work on her weakness she will get better because she is already good.
6. And stop all this fire the coach stuff. Clark has entered a whole different level than D 1 College. These athletes are the best in the basketball world. Clark will adapt but these professionals are full of pride and don’t want to be shown up by a rookie. Welcome to the WNBA.
I know its only 1 game but you cant say she's a generational talent and is gonna dominate right away and then when she plays like trash move the goalpost to "Regular rookie" And dont say 20 points. She was 5 for 15 shooting and 10 of those point were GARBAGE time
Why? You wanna just roll down and die when the opposing team is ahead? Of course she tried to score because her teammates weren't scoring well.
@Joshua-me1wi her teammates also were not giving the ball away at an all time clip. I watch a ton of ball men's, women's, pro ,college, and you don't see 10 turnovers by a single player often. certainly not by the all time greats
She was 5 of 15....Anthony Edwards is being called the face of the NBA he also went 5 of 15 last night...it was her first game after being a month removed from college
@@tylers9476 I thought you die hards who never watched a single minute of Wnba before now said she would come in and immediately dominate?????
@@tylers9476 yall need to stop comparing her to nba players frfr,,,,,she can't even touch the nets on the goal n yet yall tryna compare is idiotic
SHE'S THE GREAT WHYTE HYPE!!! SHE LOOKED EXHAUSTED AND DIDNT WANT TO BE THERE!! I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER!! THESE ARE GROWN WOMEN... I GUESS SHE THOUGHT THE PLAYERS WHERE GOING TO LET HER RUN AROUND SHOOTING 3S... SHE MISSES MORE THAN SHE MAKES BUT ALL WE HEAR ABOUT IS WHAT SHE MAKES
That man SAS wasn’t listening at all 😂
"i know my place" 😂
Another quote 🤡
Chiney, stop it ! Stop trying to hype up the league if it was hot ticket sales would reflect that.
They trip me out with that the best team in the league what league?
Wasserman, who reps some of the biggest names in the WNBA, has started a "debunking" campaign. Among the points that they are making is that the league made $200 million last year and is expected to make over $300 million this year. They also point out that the NBA really wasn't profitable until the 90s, which coincided with the explosion in televised games. Before Covid, the league had reportedly brought in $90 million which meant that they were already growing. I privately heard that two teams made profits in 2018, one being the champion Seattle Storm. That was the year where the "most teams lose $10-$12 million" statement came from as the NBA tried to control the narrative before negotiating with the player's union. One item that the NBA hides is that it's estimated that a quarter of the NBA teams are also not profitable. Basically, a team in a large market can negotiate a much larger local TV contract than a small market team can and this impacts a team's bottom line. Many of you have heard this before but it's worth reinforcing that there is a growing interest in the WNBA.
bro what? they are. can you not read? ticket sales are triple and more what they were last year
@charzard1000 that is true. Can't get a Chicago sky ticket under $50 when they playing a last year play off team.. against Connecticut the lowest I saw was 30 something when sky tickets use to be 3 to $7
That's all these women do try to lie something on them or off them keyword is lie tho some even say the w is the best league in the world getting pulled by the nba I don't know why alot of men live lies with their these females
These commentators have to praise CC to keep their jobs
Jordan Peterson would disagree with you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 excusing do you need cheese with that whine
Dropping 20 in your "welcome to the league" game is crazy
So is 10 turnovers
10 turnovers so cut that 20 in half and also she could barely get a open shot …girl locked her down…only reason she even got to 20 was because the girl that locked her down got hurt…and 33 percent from the field…so no try again
Lol 10. Turnovers is ever crazier
She shot less than 40% tho and had 10 TO. 😂
On 33%.
