valkyries fans brought playoff energy!!
STRAIGHT playoff energy!! It was amazing to watch!
Thing is they've been like that since the 1st preseason game. This was a great area for a new wnba team. Golden state Minnesota new York Indiana Vegas all have great turnouts on a daily basis with Seattle as honorable mention. Would like to see Washington and Connecticut moved elsewhere tho.
Second WNBA I've watched and they were the highlight. Crowd was boosting that defense, love it
@@taraatkins4823 I honestly dnt like the arena but I think Connecticut has made the most money of all the wnba team… so finically it wouldn’t make sense if they have a strong fan base. Also they don’t have any other sports teams in that state but college they just need to market way better like if they got Page it would be either for her college fans to go to her games … but it’s actually not a bad area to live either an you not far from NYC u can take the train. However I bet the taxes are dumb high which could make free agent players not wanna come. But I do hear you but the best fans come from big city like nyc,La, Boston, Seattle or small twn feel Indian an Minnesota.
"Golden State"
If anything, the Valkyries are officially a dangerous team.
Kudos to their front office. Most teams are managed by knuckleheads (and hard to watch). I'm a GSV fan now.
What makes u say officially now just curious? I mean they've been official been playing solid team ball all season
Hopefully the Fanbase doesn't become as insufferable as the male counterparts in the Warriors.
@@toddb9311they got the same people that made the warriors championship team in office so I’m not suprised yall just need a superstar Aja Wilson don’t look happy in Vegas maybe yall can court her to leave Vegas in the off season
by beating a 50:50 team?
Those seats were filled to capacity with PURPLE jerseys! proving that people show up in FULL for more than one player. That was ALL Valkyries fans - love to see it! Great grind out win!
Valkyries have sold out all home games so far. They have sold more tickets than any other team including the fever.
?? i see alot of empty seats
Too early to say, the ‘brand new’ shine is all around the Valkyries and the fans, but looking good just now.
As for all the purple jerseys, well the ‘new team shine’ accounts for a lot of that, all I’m saying is they are doing well just now and hope they continue to hold the fans, but you need to be a few slices short of a loaf to think this early showing is the way it’s going to be.
@@Xfactor444-x4nTheir arena has a little higher capacity than Gainsbridge in Indianapolis- but point well taken- the Fever aren't the ONLY team filling WNBA arenas.
@@aohjii It refers to the tickets. Some people aren’t always at their seats
Amihere a baller, I never understood why she rode the bench in the WNBA!!! She was my favorite back at South Carolina…She has so much potential 💯
If an expansion team can do this well in year 1, then it clearly shows the league has enough talent to have at least 16 competitive teams
It's easier than obviously the NBA for teams to make the playoffs and it doesn't take much for the power rankings to change in the league especially when teams are missing starting players due to injuries in the WNBA. Hopefully they will expand to a 15 roster spot in addition to more expansion teams sooner than later.🤔
Toronto and Portland are also on an expansion list on WNBA. Hopefully Boston should also have a WNBA team as well in the near future. 😊
Saw it live. Up there with the best sporting events I've attended.
crowd really loud i feel like
Sounded like a Warriors game!
You guys are fortunate!! Nashville needs a WNBA TEAM!
Yep. It did sound like a Warriors game, they are the lady warriors, after all.
@@garytorresani8846 Or, are the Warriors, the Gentlemen Valkyries 😳
Let's give credit to Amihere! She was the spark for the comeback. Was attacking the basket, hustling for balls, and playing stellar defense. That's that Gamecock energy!
Good win Valkyries good game Laeticia Amihere 10 points 3 rebounds 3 assist 1 steal 4 blocks
That's it?
Valkyries should never be underestimate
And no team should ever be underestimateD.
💯 yep!
@@junantonio9173 .. especially during playoffs
They lost to Dallas. 😳
the lack of d is concerning tho
That Valkyries crowd is amazing ‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
U forgot they are from the Bay Area
Was rooting for the Fever. They were actually doing just fine, holding the reins in the first 3 quarters but by the 4th it was Valkyrie who remained more pumped up, poised and more hungry.
It was a sorry loss for my team, and a very deserved and good win for the GS Valkyrie lass.
Congratulations GSV.
You gotta appreciate their fanbase, the Valkyries definitely feed off their energy and prove what a team with short-handed personnel can do with a rousing support. B
U mean 1st quarter, Fever only outscored in 1 quarter
CC shot them out of the game, Boston did too much complaining. Still don't understand why Hull doesn't get the ball more. And idk why ppl are sleeping on GS, the starting 5 are all ballers
Go GSVV!
Valkyries have that WE Believe mentality
The Valkyrie’s are proof of the state of WNBA’s health.
18K have come 6 times to watch people who were on the bench of other teams. Why? They sold 5 times prior to Clark? Why? Because people love great basketball. You don’t have to “star” to draw viewership just play the game the right way.
And when people said this last year it made it seem like basketball fans hated CC. But I’m so glad GS is proving what true fans always knew. There’s no hate. But the product was always amazing it just needed the right investment. The right owners.
Toronto is going to be exactly the same. That city loves basketball. I can’t wait to see pour out to support the team.
Damn! Golden State fans have some serious energy. It sounded like a playoff game.
Natalie Nakase = COTY
She’s amazing
That's what I'm saying! I think if she has over a 50% win rate and makes the playoffs she should definitely win it, especially as an expansion team
if they keep playing the way they have been I wouldn't be surprised
Wow, the Valkyries are so much fun! Kayla Thornton ❤
Splash sister
Y are the cc youtube stans and fanboys so quiet 😂😂😂😂😂
GS played a faster pace giving more scoring opportunities. 18,000 in attendance for WNBA game.
Because of cc
Really liking Leite’s play. She hustles, super strong, and doesn’t fuss around and whine.
Martin’s middy is looking so smooth.
This is a unifed team with an electric fan base… with Podz, Kerr, Brandi Chastain showing love 👏
Carla leite can be an elite pg in the league one day this her first year she proven herself in offseason she needs to work out with sue bird
Valkyries simply wanted it more and Caitlin tried too force the issue way too much. Good win for GS, bad loss for Indiana.
Exactly. CC is great, but no one can deny that she kind of lacks hustle, especially on defense. The Valkyries go all out for every ball, every time. Fever got too comfortable with that lead.
@@mIKImIKE-k1s she’s a point guard💀 point guards are supposed to pass the ball and score when they need to it’s her second year relax
Your just as good ...if not better...period 😅😅😅
@@DanielMoreno-zx6cc noooo...cant go all gaga when she plays well and the fever win but cut slack when they lose...GS is just as good ..PERIOD
@BryantBrothers-gm1qx you act like people aren’t allowed to have a bad game💀she’s literally 1 game game from injury 😂shows what you know….. and gaga? Really what is this preschool
*Boston needed help in the 2nd half. She had 15 at halftime and finished with 17. Golden State made some great adjustments after the half. KT, Amihere, & Hayes were awesome for Golden State.*
Should have kept feeding her down low...
Listen to that roar, especially in the final minutes. Damn I miss Roaracle, but Ballhalla is a vibe of its own.
Great game Valkyries 💜💜
Inaugural season and we already have the best fanbase in the league. BALLHALA!
I love the Valkyries more and more each game 🏆
a very good game. solid competition. both teams played hard & relatively well. best thing about the game, no dirty plays or violent actions by any players. few WNBA games have displayed that this season. a lot of good perimeter shooting by both teams. GS got especially hot at the end, and sealed the victory with shooting.
Yeah people know who to try and who not to try
4:15 crazy sequence. Clark airball on one side, GS three on the other😂😂
Awesome game.. I'm a fan of both Clark and Martin, as well as the Fever and the Valkyries.. This is how the wnba games should be everytime.. No drama, just good basketball.. 😊
"Drama" will always follow Clark, because she is a constant whining drama queen.
Competing, scrappy, physical play, trash talking is NOT Drama ... it's part of the game.
I'm sorry, but at times the basketball was unwatchable in this game. Like the time there were four straight turnovers. The defense wasn't the reason, but bad passing and dribbling and catching the ball.
Deliberately trying to knock a player down with plays that can injure is not just being physical, it’s thuggery and would have be called flagrant fouls in the NBA with possible suspensions. This would not be tolerated in high school or college basketball or anywhere else. What the Sky did is not basketball, it’s schoolyard junk ball.
What we saw in this Valkyries/Fever game is hard played, fast paced,clean basketball that Golden State management knows how to produce against a team like the Fever. Their defense completely shut CC down. And some of their best are playing in an European tournament. This was the characteristic deep bench the Warriors are known for.
This game is what the fans want. Listen to that crowd. This is the kind of game Golden State fans knew they would bring to the Women’s team.
Get rid of the thugs, call flagrant fouls for what they are, and
Play basketball, and leave the drama and bs off the court.
@@garytorresani8846 Most of the "thugs" came to the game in the Clark fanbase. Nobody in or out of the league - no fans, no players, no media - complained about any "thugs" until Clark showed up in league year #27 and couldn't beat the top teams nor win all the championships that Clark fans guaranteed she would win when she entered the WNBA.
Now that the lie about Clark being better than everybody else is being exposed, the lie needs to be covered up by blaming "thugs" and "the refs" from keeping Clark from not winning the championship every year like the media and fans desire. With Clark fans it seems like there will be a lame excuse to cover her ineptitude and shortcomings. Its always gotta be somebody else's fault because no one will ever admit - she just ain't that consequential a player. Clark fans will never admit the marketing promoters played them for suckers to grow revenues and the game. Understandable.

Golden State is not playing games there making a statement
This game was a triumph in women's sports!!! GG to all involved, terrific watch. We'll bring it next time ❤️ Go Fever
See how Burton at the end put a Bow Tie on the win by draining that Midrange shot and didn't need to throw up a logo 50 footer! That's high IQ basketball there! Great Team win by the Valks!! 🔥
People get fascinated by 3's, but mud-range is fundamental basketball. Everything can't be a 3 or a layup. Especially in playoffs.
Preach my Brother!! I'm a basketball coach and i have to constantly tell my players about the difference between a high percentage shot vs a low percentage one! Sometimes I believe the worst thing to happen to basketball was the logo three started by Curry.@@jamesanderson1179
@@jamesanderson1179 CC is the typical HS player praised for her ability to hit the long 3, nothing else, and she bought into the best player hype (contributes no further because that is the way they used her). If she applied herself, worked on right-hand, and footwork, she could become a complete player and an asset to her team.
Right now, she just a 3 ball! Everyone hits logo 3s. They're low % shots, so coaches don't want you shooting them. She's made them popular, by shooting a lot of them. She doesnt make that many. Floaters require body control, balance, etc. She needs to add that to her bag... fade aways, etc.
She lacks in these areas. Post game.
She's 6'0 she should be able to post up most PGS . Her contribution is her skin tone. It doesn't matter how she plays, it's all about what the media has portrayed her as some kind of savior. The greater the defense is on her, the less she does in other areas of the game... stands there and get cooked . she's slow she'll never be able to stay in front of most PGs who are shifty and fast she's baby food
I'm a basketball coach and i have to drill in my players heads about taking high percentage shots not these crazy logo threes that lose you games! @@DagoatOfgreatest
@@DagoatOfgreatest100% facts
I'm very impressed with the Golden State Valkyries they took care of business. Great game!
Hard to believe they're a first-year expansion team.
GS is gonna be a insane team next year
Beautiful win ladies
GS THANKS FOR WINNING MY PARLAY 🔥🔥💪🏽
ESPN is the worst instead of highlighting the hottest team in the WNBA on their website they have almost a 2min clip of Clark highlights 😳😔
The Valkyries played good defense they held Clark to 11 points. This is a good win 💜
Especially when you consider Clark's 3/14 overall.
Wow! That was awesome to see the talent these ladies have.
Woooowwww! Is it playoff now? The fanbase is amazing....always

the fever stunk tonight. credit to golden state though. they could have quit, but didn't and outworked the fever all night
My gosh, that atmosphere was electric
Remember, the Warriors brought us the fast game, Steph Curry, team play, championships, a deep bench etc. Obviously, management knows what the do with the Valkyries and are doing it. Besides, it’s a plus to have Curry, Green and others on the Warriors to bring in for advice. Four members in Europe and they still look great.
Caitlin needs to work on her defense...badly. This was a blown opportunity to better their record.
What defense? She literally doesn’t do defense 😂
but i thought she was the "best" in the league? At least that's what I often read in the comments. And didn't people say that last year about her defense and the years before? Imagine what kind of player she would be if she were restricted from shooting 3-pointers. I'm just thinking out loud. If they want her to improve her defense, they've to get it out of her head that her only role is to do that. It seems like she believes that more than anything else.
Clark don't want to play defense. She is more interested in padding her offensive stats and let everybody else play defense. She actually stands under the basket to get rebounds.
@@phDST1913 When your game is only in one level, this is what happens. Live by the 3 , die by the 3. She ain’t scoring any other way if her three point shot at working
@@SayItLoud1111bro you’re funny asf wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Fever have no inside defense. They need to draft a big body inside. GS was hitting 3s the entire 2nd half.
Valkyries are a team that can win it all
@@danjo1967 not even a crazy thing to say, 3 of their best players are in Europe right now and they’re still this good
idk about that but they're scrappy as hell, really fun team to watch
the energy was THROUGH the rooffff !!!
Carla Leite becoming one of my fave wnba players, along with Caitlin, Taurasi, Paige, Maya Moore
Can’t wait for Jocyte to play.
this lady named Ms. Carla Leite is a baller, very fun to watch indeed. I also enjoy CC vs Kate Martin every time.
@@Kentatsu9 , Only the white players. I guess you are only a fan if your skin color matches......too funny
@@Redridge07 i look at the game not like you who see racism at every turn you commie.
@@Redridge07 you're racist
That CROWD IS INSANE‼️
They really gave the Valkyrie a 6% chance to win 😂😂have they not been watching how good the Golden State is 🤦🏽♂️
They just lost to the Wings
@@cantgetright6508and won 5 games straight before that
Exactly that's why this game scared me because they have been so good for an expansion team I like what this team is doing and no I'm not a Fever fan@@kwanwallacephotography5145
6% change in their home ground lol. just because lost to wings that doesnt mean they are a bad team. look at the teams they beat. aces, storm, fever and kesley plum led la sparks twice. 6% my ass.
Fever missing lots of defence. Wide open 3s.
GSV played very well.
No way in hell that Bibby & Amihere should’ve been cut in the 1st place. WNBA has to do better
Let’s go valkyries. I knew we could win this at home. 😁
Valks bench completely outplayed Fever’s bench and they slowed down Caitlin on several stops too. Valks are the real deal and the best story in the WNBA. Golden State’s arena is loud rocking and LIT. Oh and Kate Money Martin got the better off her ol’ friend CC too. Nice rebound after a bad loss to Dallas. Congrats GS. 🥳
Las veo desde Venezuela. Increíble el espíritu que se siente en el video, debe ser brutal verlo en vivo. Aunque sigo la WNBA for CC primero y luego por todo el equipo de las Fever, si que es cierto que como fanático voy aprendiendo de los otros equipos y algunas veces me sorprende la tremenda calidad de las jugadas. Well done ladies!!!

This what a good clean competitive game worth watching looks like
Chloe Bibby outplayed cc in her rookie debut. Nice! 😂
Omg no one here complained about Caitlyn Clark getting fouled..am I dreaming 😂😂❤
I think there one the few teams that’s been selling out the arena consistently Golden state…These are real basketball fans not fake fans…If the WNBA wants to continue to grow they need to talk and promote teams and other players, You promote just 1 player it’s going to die out! You gotta promote more teams & players not just Caitlin…
And we got 18k seats
Excellent game energized by the crowd!
Can't beieve people arw comparing CC to MJ.
They did a great job shutting down CC’s scoring
Nice Valkyries win
G S kyries is like an energizer just keep on running attacking the basket. Very impressive game with no drama..🎉🎉🎉🎉
Iowa Alum, huge Hawkeye, CC and KM fan. Great win for Golden State. Some thoughts on Caitlin . Stop whining about every no call and focus on yourself. Take better care of the ball. Not all of the turnovers are on her but she forces it sometimes. The Fever need to do a better job of helping get Caitlin open and I honestly think she needs a few more short breaks throughout the game.
What a team, what a crowd, what a win. A CC fan here amazed at GS performance in this game! Wowww
finally, someone with maturity
My second favorite team beat my favorite team. Caitlin lit a fire in Kate Martin!
Also, the Haitlins are out in full force tonight!
Likewise here. CC & the Fever, then KM and the Valkyries. Hard to be disappointed either way. Go Hawks!!
Lol,same here
Did i miss something??Martin had 9 points 🙄🙄
@@CARLMOBLEY-b7qShe led the team to a victory.
Tiffany Hayes said, "I know that's right queen". . . . . love it!!!!
those back to back to back turnovers/steals were insane. this was a great game
So happy to see a clean, well played game without the headhunting & flagrant fouls.
tell CC to stop
This house is crazy! Lezgo valks!
Clark scores 32 at home and gets endless accolades.....then she goes on the road and lays an egg. Never saw Jordan or Kobe punk out so many times when they hit the road against a good team. The dichotomy of Clark's performance in home games compared to road games is striking. She runs around her home court spitting her tongue out, shoving off defenders, talking smack, and egging on the crowd; then when she goes on the road and gets checked by a top defender, she either plays horrible or gets shut down. Strange.
watch the sc vs Iowa game, she has no defense lol.
Thank you Golden State!!! Silence the hype
Yes cc that is the hype 😂
Caitlin Clark dropped 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting, 0-of-7 on 3-pointers, with 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and SIX turnovers. Aiyaiyaiyaiyai...
I saw a few blocks too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She played bad like a nigerian
She's so trash 😂
she only had 9 points
Clark still on pace to lead the league in turnovers back to back years.....wonder if she will break her own WNBA turnover record of 223 she set last year? Looks like she's determined to give it a try.
If it wasn't for Caitlin Clark's teammates it would have been bad they played a hell of a ball game Caitlin you got schooled on this one
Keep strong Fever. Eyes on the finals. Good teams in this competition. CC keep them going and get even closer ladies. Go Fever.
I would say they need a mebounder in Indiana
I'm just glad that it was a good win by a team that plays cleanly, not like the dirty Sun.
#3 Amihere might be the best defensive player who plays CLEAN BASKETBALL 🏀.
At one point it looked like she was trying to put her foot in Kelsey Mitchell's landing zone. I didn't like that move.
@@bradjames879yeah I'm with you and maybe clean player was a stretch but did you rebound to ice game on baseline where she almost stepped out? World class rebound
Caitlin's passing is incredible.
lol Podz having so much fun
Clark is a cone on defense
she looked like luka out there. didn't appear to be trying on defense.
@@TheDisruptiveOneshe doesn’t play both sides of the ball at all she literally just rest of defense
another non-fan of the game. Clark just rests on defense.
Clark is bigger than the game. Her privilege and entitlement doesn't require her to play defense. Her contract puts her "personal stats" first... she only has to shoot threes and make assists. Its the job of her teammates to play defense. Get off her back!
Even big Howard, Dantes and others bad on defence.
The Fever looked they were playing through PTSD from the Sun game.
Indiana just can't have all the fun today after the Pacers win game 6 in the NBA finals to tied the series 3-3😂
They looked depleted
oooh sooo now it's a team sport...
@@phDST1913 You got that “they them” energy
@@jrod264winmag actually I'm always on the side that the "team wins" or the "team loses". I never say oooh this player did this or that. That's what haters do. Because I know basketball can't be played by 1 person. If people didn't have screens or set up plays etc, none of this would be possible.
Damn SCREECH 21.4% and Trash perimeter defense WTH🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
stinky black guy? 🤢
Straight trash 😂
Win or loss, we luv Cc and the team fever from the Philippines...🇵🇭❤🇵🇭..
I agree 💯 %.
Win or loss I still love CC22 very much huge fan From PH 😊
Those three pointers were killers.A good,new team.😮
What’s with all the travels not being called?
The whole WNBA(especially , Angel Reese 🤪)travels so much and refs rarely call it... pathetic refs
@@jaystone8742your great white savior played like excrement tonight....
Travel ended in the NBA years ago now allowing traveling has caught on in the W. It's called Euro-step now.
First time I saw a real road crowd in WNBA 👏👏👏
Fever need to work on their defensive lapses and Catlin needs to do better with the turnovers. Valkyries are a good solid team a lot of effort. Fever should have won this game but congrats to Valkyries they earned it and deserved the W
5:03 This wasn't traveling it was a road trip..😂🤣🙃😅🤣😂
Teams are starting to figure out CC game. Take away her left and you've take away 85% of her game. When her 3's aren't falling, its hard for her to het going
Everyone has known this since her Iowa days. It's not like she hasn't been the primary strategic target for every opposing team for the last 8 years or whatever. But somehow few teams manage to actually do it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on how the rest of the team is playing and the particular match-up. Sometimes it backfires actually.
she shoots with her left and drive too her right you’re correct players from cbb already said this is a way they get Clark too slow down .
So you mean to tell me that when Clark puts up her left arm as shield to push off defenders and sometimes push up her forearm against their throat that's considered a normal basketball play? 🤔
She's been doing this since college. 😳
CC is overrated 🥱👎🏻
For some reason, I liked it when Clatk went into the paint and got swallowed up.
pause
She can't jump worth a darn,but that's not extremely important in basketball...
I mean it kinda is. @CARLMOBLEY-b7q
Clark hates the paint....too physical, too tall...that's why she love the Logo - no contact and she doesn't have to have Kyrie Irving's handles and fancy moves to the hoop - neither of which she has.
The Valkries were taking it to them!!
In the last 5 games caitlin clark has 31 turnovers and is shooting 38 % from the field
she got through for some nice layups.
Mitchell the best on the team
@@desotohybrid2175how ? 😂😂
Steve Kerr and Kristi Yamaguchi were in the 6th man crowd hyping up the game 🏀⛸️. Great game to seen live !!!
This is an expansion team? Damn…
So weird to see Clark & Kate Martin guarding each other. I'd forgotten Martin was still in the league, but I'm happy she's found success in the WNBA as well.
