Tough loss, but this was still a winnable game. The Lynx are tough af, especially their defense. But the Fever were missing so many wide open shots. It is what it is. Tough loss, but I expect the Fever to rebound from this. And just check out the post game interview with Clark and Mitchell. Absolute pure class, and in high spirits despite the loss. Edit- Maya Moore "Just one of those girls became Caitlin Clark" This quote really does speak volumes. And this is exactly why you see Caitlin Clark spend so much time signing autographs and catering to all of those fans, especially the kids. Caitlin knows exactly what she means to those kids. And who knows, one of those kids could be the next Caitlin Clark or even the next Michael Jordan. All because Caitlin took the time to pay that little bit of attention to them.
The great one's that are well rounded as human beings typically take time to sign especially for children. As you said they understand their impact on those kids, it's a classy move that should garner respect.
I loved that press conference with Maya Moore where she said she loved children and always tried to be kind to her young fans. It's so true that you didn't always know where a moment of kindness could lead. She's a class act.
I think CC’s kindness to young fans comes from her watching Maya as a kid. I can’t think of no greater feeling than to know how much you’ve inspired the future generation.
She admitted that she didn't remember the encounter with that particular little girl, but over the course of a career a player is going to meet so many kids there's no way to remember all of them. PS: I'd rather have Cherly Reeve singing the tune she is now than talking about shit.
The word must have got out. Caitlin IS the face of the league right now. The coaches are talking a lot more positively about her. Even the players seem to have settled down a bit. They are probably starting to see the financial impact she is having for the players. And for the league.
I like your take. Great to see someone appreciate the game as you do. I watched Bird during the Magic bird era. When he came in he was accepted by the fans right away. But the media was not always so supportive. He had to show everyone how much skill and tenacity he had just like Clark has. I love watching Boston and Kelsey too. I am enjoying watching the fever. I Love Maya.She is a kind person with The attributes you like to see in a leader. It's no wonder that she was Kaitlyn Clark's favorite player. Look forward to see what they do next wasn't the best game for them, but the links are so talented. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season and I'll be a follower from now on to the WNBA, I've always loved the NBA. I watched it ever since I was a kid great reaction.❤
She is smart, knows basketball, has the skills, the pace she plays with is exciting, she pushes her teammates to up their game, and is Iowa nice and humble.
Exactly. Those calls were so obvious. Travel as soon Caitlin touched the ball. Perfect 3 pointer erased for a “moving screen” violation while the Lynx were allowed to have linemen/blockers running in front of their guards. Worst officiating ever.
Fever is getting more and more impressive.....How this team handles a loss...is the proper way...the Way of Champions....Grace...Good Attitude....Respect for Teammates... Respect for Opponents .... AND most importantly TRUTH SPEAK...on how to improve....This team is the Gold Standard on how to be an Example....PAY ATTENTION... WNBA.....You have to Clean up the League's Cheap Shot's and Poor Sportsmanship, Bullying and Biased Referee's ....BIG JOB... You will not keep your Viewers if this example is not present for all Teams. You can Start with the SKY....Good Luck Fever...and Well done Lynx you played like Winners. This Game was a credit to Women's Sports ..World Wide. Bloody Awesome. I will now watch the Lynx games , but my loyalty is to the Fever.
One of the things that stood out for me in this game, is that there was no dirty bullshit, at least none that I saw, which was great after watching the Carter BS earlier this week. It's almost like they were there to play ball, and not to beat each other up.
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be.this thug behavior and assaults on players is a big turn off as well as the reputation they will always have ...
I love CC and the Fever. I love seeing Clark, Mitchell, and Boston on the court together... and now looking forward to Fagbenle getting that court chemistry, but they didn't lose because of officiating it was poor defense and MISSED OPEN LOOKS and LAYUPS! Lynx played a solid game. Three pointers were cold and layups? Every team has a bad night, but even with the officials against them and Lynx doing well, and shooting efficiency in the toilet they lost by 10 points. They need Lexi in the starting line up. Sam, thanks for showing the new CC record. Seeing it written out helped me finally get the assists right in my brain. I was fixated on 300 not 200! Thanks for the help.
Actually, that wasn’t a great game "for CC". If she had just made half of the shots she missed in the Qtr, they probably would have won or made it closer and gotten the momentum. With that said, it would have been hard to take that game from Minnesota in their own house with the way they have been playing of late. It was still a very good effort by CC. Go Fever!
@@Bayportjohn I would suggest you edit "shits" to "shots". You're sounding like Reeves at the first meeting. 😅 Any combination of shots by CC or anyone else would have changed the score, too. But you point is true. They were all off!
Maya Moore was very marketable and CC model herself like Maya. Both are wholesome, talented and humble and that is what advertisers want. Not petty and thuggish. CC and Maya Moore exemplify how we want our daughters and grand daughters to be like. You can be talented and a winner without acting like a "so called dog"!
TY, for showing Reeves pregame comments. “ PACE and PASSING”, Reeves tipped her hand on where her defensive emphasis would be. Sent only one player to board on offense, and focused defense away from non performing starters( smith and Katie Lou ) to focus on the big 3. Nice to hear and see Reeves act like a professional and give CC THE PROPS SHE’s earned!!
Not a Reeves fan .... but have to admit that was top-shelf coaching. The Lynx looked unbeatable. I also appreciate showing the Reeves comment. Changed my perspective on her a little bit.
I knew about WNBA because of Maya then it became Elena then now its Caitlin. So I just wish as a filipino, just STFU if you dont see how Caitlin play so mesmerisingly good and womens basketball is on its way to be as competitive as any sport can be as.
I wish we can make a comment that refs are not making those obvious calls intentionally. However, that would be giving them too much credit for knowing how to ref. Unfortunately, they are simply bad refs who are not capable of doing any better. As simple as that. None of those refs will ever make into NBA because of missing to make those calls. I don’t want to bring in any betting aspects into it. Those are simply bad refs. The league should look into it and work on improvements ASAP. Help those refs to get better. Educate them. Draw theirs attention to mistakes they are making. Give them a chance to improve by not being ignorant.
Another nice stat line for CC. That angry dude who does breakdown clips on YT did expose some of her defensive issues though. She and her team need to practise defense, now.
Caitlin Clark is a class act as is maya moore. And kelsey Mitchell has grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the season. Had an unusual poor shooting nite. Lexie hull should be shooting the 3s that dantas shot.
Reeve was so nasty about CC before this, which tells me somebody had a "come to Jesus" meeting with her and clearly explained what CC has done for lifting the popularity of the WNBA. Money talks.
I also had a feeling going in the officiating would be hard bc if the MM jersey ceremony, but Christie threw some grenades too. EW was on the floor too long, for 2pts 0 asst 0 reb and NO defense. I like Teme but this wasnt the game for her to come back. The winning dynamic played the prior two games. And as usual, Sides fumbled the bag.
Unfortunately CC had a horrible 1st qtr. She passed up probably 4 or 5 paint pullups/floaters/runners (all types were available). She shot 1-7 with 2 turnovers. She's was not ready to play. This can't happen if we want to win on the road. I wonder if the Maya Moore presence had any impact on this.
These Refereeing calls are one of the reasons I have not really been a basketball fan, ever since I coached my daughter’s High School team through and unbeaten season and premiership tweny years ago. I watch a number of team sports and I know biased Refereeing when I see it. All basketball competitions have this, in my experience and that is SAD. Just SAD. If you’re going to be a Referee, you should do your absolute best to be toatally impartial at all times. I also have some sympathy for Refs, because they’re only human and humans make mistakes. That’s sport, deal with it. That said, some of these incidents are just beyond the pale as far as poor officiating goes. Two sports I watch are the two codes of Rugby; Rugby Union and Rugby League. Thy’re similar, but different enough, that players can find it hard switching from one to the other. They are hard games and the guys and gals who play are as tough as nails. Watch an NRLW game (women’s game) in Australia sometime and you’ll see that NO WNBA player can match how tough they are. That said, there’s no WAY the actions of Chennedy Carter would be tolerated by ANYONE (Refs, fans, other players, etc) for a second! The governing body of Womens Rugby League would suspend her for at least four matches and fine her several thousand dollars for just ONE such incident. A second one coming so soon after the first one, could see her thrown out. There isn’t an alternative competition, so her career would be OVER, ENDED, FINISHED. No game that I know of tolerates such thuggish behaviour. Not Soccer, either of the Rugby codes, nor women’s Aussie Rules Football. Why does Basketball do so? I get it that you can disguise things by making them look like you’re trying to get the ball, but not in Carter’s hip and shoulder check on CC, nor in her smacking Marina Mabrey in the face. Everyone knows what she was doing and that kind of action in any of the games I mentioned would see her thrown out and banned for life. It may even carry a ban from being a spectator. Australians are very easy going people, but I have heard of people getting lifetime bans from ever being allowed anywhere near an arena or stadium again. It’s garbage behaviour and is pretty much universally HATED by Aussies.
To be fair to Cheryl, that first question was phrased kind of antagonistically. "Wow people were really cheering for the away team huh" is kind of a bad-faith question. You cut out the question from the second response. But if I had to guess it was something closer to "what do you think of CC's contributions to the league?" which is a much better question. It seems that the media have learned to be more respectful in their questioning.
As the end of season coming and everyone looking for playoff spot the whole game changes now it becomes a game of coaches. Now the best coach wins the game.
I wish fever coach could do better job in rotation when some setups and players did not work and the game was not some players night the coach should be able to spot those then changed the play and players
Being a cynic, I question Reeve's pre-game sincerity. She was probably happy that she got TEAM USA their gold medal without CC's presence and maybe she KNEW the Lynx weren't going to lose to the Fever, considering what transpired during the game with the refereeing. 🙄🤔
If she said in jest that she is thinking about retiring, there would be a seismic change in the entire WNBA. Big money would step in. They will not let millions of dollars leave their ranks.❤
Could have, should have, would have, bullshit! The Fever are not a good team. They do not have an abysmal coach. They only lost by ten points, but they lost and it was ugly, ugly, ugly! If Kelsey Mitchel stays with the Fever, she is a fool. She is ballin' because she wants to be a free agent and she is displaying her best. Cailin Clark will waste away in the coming few yars with the Fever. Lexi Hull 11 minutes? I can't watch it any more and I am sure that others feel that way. I wish Caitlin Clark the best, but in her own words, "There are other things that are more important than basketball". I agree. I can not waste any more life watching the pathetic Fever display and I certainly do not want to see anymore of the bush league WNBA. Thanks for sharing!
Wowza!!! Thanks for telling us you didn't even make the knitting team in HS. Talk about not knowing the game. Is it just hate? Racist hate? For someone to suggest CC is going to fade away is absolutely hysterical. I'd bet your tiny little apartment, filled with rats and your mama, that CC continues her dominance of this league, becomes the ROTY, breaks the WNBA assist record and that the Fever become a great team in the very near future. Imagine being such a clueless tool that you actually bash a team that has been horrific for 8 years straight and CC has them in playoff contention? Bless your dark, very dark, tiny little heart
Clark, Mitchell, Boston, and the Fever team lost a game. Thats it. They can't win every game against the best teams. Fever is a really "new" team since Clark became a new Fever player. They will be the best team in the WNBA. They will be the best team, and coaches like the Minnesota "dinosaur" coach will be replaced by more technical, educated, and prepared coaches.
Cheryl Reeve wasn't dissing on Clark. She was annoyed at the time that the media was ignoring the Lynx, even though they were near the top of the league standings. She wanted to talk about her players that deserved praise.
@@patrickscopas9133 Consider all the talent in the league that have struggled for years with the pay, who are being so upstaged in the media by the rookie. It's not Caitlin's problem. It is the medias. Caitlin's great and deserves respect. But people can also see where certain resentments can surface.
@chrisjamieson3452 Upstaged by a rookie who has yet to make one cocky or derogatory statement off the court. A rookie who is excelling while doing more than any player in the history of the league to be fan-friendly and grow the game while respecting all the veterans and former players.
@@mattgoldberg4335 I believe I was clear in my statements. the attention is welcome. The media needed to use it to promote the entire league. Players past and present. We just saw one of the greatest getting her jersey retired. It's not about Caitlin. It's about long overdue promotion by the Sport media industry. Brittany Griner spent a long time in jail trying to make a living. (Yes, she was dumb to not be more careful)
Just commenting on her press conference. She had to realize that a lot of her fans don’t appreciate good basketball. They just appreciate you. A lot of her fans tear down other players, creative disgusting narratives, blame everybody else, etc. I don’t agree with that statement she made one bit.
@williesaunders6798 CC is not blind. I think she's a better human than she is a basketball player. Anyone who puts her down (not talking about some of her fans) has a definite problem in their heart and mind. She is respectful to everyone. Not angry, boastful, or arrogant.
Minnesota is a good team, but there was definitely some home cooking for the Lynx. lol Fever didn't play well for large stretches of the game though. Smith, Katie Lou and Wheeler didn't show up and contribute.
The Fever lost because Sides blew another one. The Fever are a stacked team with eight first-round picks plus Erica Wheeler who was an all-star MVP. They had five days off and they missed 22 of 29 wide-open threes. So, how does this happen? Simple, with this much talent and rest it is all about coaching and Sides did not have them ready, She and Dunn both need to go. With that said, a big hat tip to Maya. If all the WNBA players had one-tenth her class, the league would have the recognition they all say they want, but have done absolutely nothing to earn.
Well Mya you were a hell of player all round, she better get busy be on your Level..Lets See but she Not WNBA Aja Wilson IS..CC ain't won NO championships in college etc... lot ppl have excitement but what else cause I Ain't Seen it YET❤
Yeah that ref was trash, he had it out for Clark the no call on the 3 and the travel was ridiculous then a play or 2 later Clark barely touched a Lynx player on a 3 and he called a foul on her.
That was a travel. Lol. They call that all the time. "Not gonna ket them win" smh Lynx probably gonna finish the year as the 2 seed. They're elite. Indy aint there yet.
If ANYONE gets the torch passed to them by Maya Moore, it's Napheesa Collier. You iowa people make everything about this rookie player that won NOTHING in college. It's exhausting to have this false narrative shoved down our throats at every turn. Maya was an NCAA champion, Phee was an NCAA champion, Angel Reese was an NCAA champion, and Kamilla Cardoso was an NCAA champion. Guess who WAS NOT?
She’s already reached many rookie or wnba records….who is even talking about college? People don’t claim CC is the best player….shes the most entertaining player to watch. Her composure and poise off the court is also engaging and people respect that.
She also went to a school that was in no way considered a “Blue Blood” in college basketball and managed to get to the Finals two years in a row. It takes a team to win, and while those Iowa women played their hearts out, they could not match up at every position, mostly because of height. What they accomplished is the stuff great sport movies are made of!
They had a rough night it happens Missed a lot of 3s should have worked more into paint CC missed a lot of her deep passes tonight That being said Lynx really good team fever really not at that level yet
And she still finished with 23 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds. Imagine thinking CC had a bad night with what most would consider a season high night? That's how good she really is...
Yeah, Caitlin Clark was handed the torch by getting butt kicked by the Minnesota Lynx.. Fanboy Caitlin Clark content creators like Sam are doing anything to keep worshiping Caitlin Clark..
She rejects the attention every time n praises others…this makes me like her so much ..started a angel fan but cc has my heart now as well
Tough loss, but this was still a winnable game. The Lynx are tough af, especially their defense. But the Fever were missing so many wide open shots. It is what it is. Tough loss, but I expect the Fever to rebound from this. And just check out the post game interview with Clark and Mitchell. Absolute pure class, and in high spirits despite the loss.
Edit- Maya Moore "Just one of those girls became Caitlin Clark" This quote really does speak volumes. And this is exactly why you see Caitlin Clark spend so much time signing autographs and catering to all of those fans, especially the kids. Caitlin knows exactly what she means to those kids. And who knows, one of those kids could be the next Caitlin Clark or even the next Michael Jordan. All because Caitlin took the time to pay that little bit of attention to them.

That was where the coach was needed. That is where Christy Sides should be changing sets, etcetera.
I loved that press conference with Maya Moore where she said she loved children and always tried to be kind to her young fans. It's so true that you didn't always know where a moment of kindness could lead. She's a class act.
@@JE-IC amen totally agree. She also said girls or boys. We have opportunities throughout each day to be a blessing to people of all ages.
I think CC’s kindness to young fans comes from her watching Maya as a kid. I can’t think of no greater feeling than to know how much you’ve inspired the future generation.
@Jennifer-2329 I'm sure her parents and siblings had something to do with her upbringing and good results.
She admitted that she didn't remember the encounter with that particular little girl, but over the course of a career a player is going to meet so many kids there's no way to remember all of them.
PS: I'd rather have Cherly Reeve singing the tune she is now than talking about shit.
...as opposed to half of the WNBA, current and retired, who are just petty, catty, jealous, self-absorbed welfare queens.
And she scored 23 her favorite players number😊 Nice
so nice to see Cheryl speak highly of CC. She'll gain a lot more fans and respect by spreading the love.
CC meeting Maya Moore was very wholesome. Maya Moore is my WGOAT. She was a killer from High School all the way to her retirement
Maya Moore has class. She gets mad respect from me.
The word must have got out. Caitlin IS the face of the league right now. The coaches are talking a lot more positively about her. Even the players seem to have settled down a bit. They are probably starting to see the financial impact she is having for the players. And for the league.
CC took a L for Maya. Reeves smart as hell retiring her favorite player jersey on night she played them. Slick
Very smart she needed a full crowd for it and Caitlin helps with that !!!!!
True.
I like your take. Great to see someone appreciate the game as you do. I watched Bird during the Magic bird era. When he came in he was accepted by the fans right away.

She is international. It is remarkable. Why I have no idea. I am in the UK and have never even watched the NBA
Nobody here did either. Caitlin is a magical creature…like a Unicorn that shoots logo 3’s. 😂
@@deansouthwick1906 😂😂😂
Very cool!
She is smart, knows basketball, has the skills, the pace she plays with is exciting, she pushes her teammates to up their game, and is Iowa nice and humble.
Sheryl Swoopes should watch Maya Moore's presser and learn: The epitome of class and humility.
Good one. There is zero reason for Swoopes being such a bozo
Exactly. Those calls were so obvious. Travel as soon Caitlin touched the ball. Perfect 3 pointer erased for a “moving screen” violation while the Lynx were allowed to have linemen/blockers running in front of their guards. Worst officiating ever.
They chose this game to retire jersey ..Cait was in town an a full house for her ceremony..
I guess that was their plan all along
Yeah exactly 💯, this was definitely a calculated move!!!!!!!
Maya Moore. Beautiful inside and outside.
CC is a class act🎉🎉
The fact that CC scored 23 points too.. things that happen in movies and we say "theres no way".

I didn't know who Maya Moore is nor any other WNBA player, before Caitlin.
Props to Coach Reeve for the reversal in attitude.🤛👏👏
We went backwards w playing through the post. Sides got dunns blessing and pushing her archaic offense back in.
Team needs to ignore sides
New sub. Well spoken and good insight!

To be clear, after saying one of them, she said either one of them.
As the end of season coming and everyone looking for playoff spot the whole game changes now it becomes a game of coaches. Now the best coach wins the game.
I wish fever coach could do better job in rotation when some setups and players did not work and the game was not some players night the coach should be able to spot those then changed the play and players
Sides tried different rotation but failed
REALITY is coming. TAURASI is next to retire.
What your take on Fever coaching decisions? Officiating is suspect for sure esp against Clark, but their coaching is sad.
Tell me all sports are rigged, and outcomes 100% scripted, without saying all sports are rigged…
Especially now with gambling,
Being a cynic, I question Reeve's pre-game sincerity. She was probably happy that she got TEAM USA their gold medal without CC's presence and maybe she KNEW the Lynx weren't going to lose to the Fever, considering what transpired during the game with the refereeing. 🙄🤔
If she said in jest that she is thinking about retiring, there would be a seismic change in the entire WNBA. Big money would step in. They will not let millions of dollars leave their ranks.❤
Home court advantage isn’t just about fans. It’s about the damn zebras 🦓. Home team can play hard defense but it rarely is allowed to go both ways.
Could have, should have, would have, bullshit! The Fever are not a good team. They do not have an abysmal coach. They only lost by ten points, but they lost and it was ugly, ugly, ugly! If Kelsey Mitchel stays with the Fever, she is a fool. She is ballin' because she wants to be a free agent and she is displaying her best. Cailin Clark will waste away in the coming few yars with the Fever. Lexi Hull 11 minutes? I can't watch it any more and I am sure that others feel that way. I wish Caitlin Clark the best, but in her own words, "There are other things that are more important than basketball". I agree. I can not waste any more life watching the pathetic Fever display and I certainly do not want to see anymore of the bush league WNBA. Thanks for sharing!
Wowza!!! Thanks for telling us you didn't even make the knitting team in HS. Talk about not knowing the game. Is it just hate? Racist hate? For someone to suggest CC is going to fade away is absolutely hysterical. I'd bet your tiny little apartment, filled with rats and your mama, that CC continues her dominance of this league, becomes the ROTY, breaks the WNBA assist record and that the Fever become a great team in the very near future. Imagine being such a clueless tool that you actually bash a team that has been horrific for 8 years straight and CC has them in playoff contention? Bless your dark, very dark, tiny little heart
Yet, you wasted your time writing this. Don’t tell us you’re leaving, just leave.
Hum so CC Hero's Shirt gets retired and she scores 23 points. Says it all
The game seemed winnable but at least we lost to a good team instead of bad teams that we should smoke
Clark, Mitchell, Boston, and the Fever team lost a game. Thats it. They can't win every game against the best teams. Fever is a really "new" team since Clark became a new Fever player. They will be the best team in the WNBA. They will be the best team, and coaches like the Minnesota "dinosaur" coach will be replaced by more technical, educated, and prepared coaches.
They took a loss so Linx can celebrate the win with Maya Moore night
Cheryl Reeve wasn't dissing on Clark. She was annoyed at the time that the media was ignoring the Lynx, even though they were near the top of the league standings. She wanted to talk about her players that deserved praise.
There were/are ways to do so with class - not an option?
Reeve was definitely shitting on Clark. There's no way around that.
@@patrickscopas9133 Consider all the talent in the league that have struggled for years with the pay, who are being so upstaged in the media by the rookie. It's not Caitlin's problem. It is the medias. Caitlin's great and deserves respect. But people can also see where certain resentments can surface.
@chrisjamieson3452 Upstaged by a rookie who has yet to make one cocky or derogatory statement off the court. A rookie who is excelling while doing more than any player in the history of the league to be fan-friendly and grow the game while respecting all the veterans and former players.
@@mattgoldberg4335 I believe I was clear in my statements. the attention is welcome. The media needed to use it to promote the entire league. Players past and present. We just saw one of the greatest getting her jersey retired. It's not about Caitlin. It's about long overdue promotion by the Sport media industry. Brittany Griner spent a long time in jail trying to make a living. (Yes, she was dumb to not be more careful)
Just commenting on her press conference. She had to realize that a lot of her fans don’t appreciate good basketball. They just appreciate you. A lot of her fans tear down other players, creative disgusting narratives, blame everybody else, etc. I don’t agree with that statement she made one bit.
Nah, honestly it’s the other way around. CC receives A LOT of hate, not sure if you have noticed or not.
Sometimes, people who are blind to something think they see clearly.
@@donalddoerner9058 yeah sounds like CC
@@GrowYour-Own you do realize the hate she receives are because of her fans.
@williesaunders6798 CC is not blind. I think she's a better human than she is a basketball player. Anyone who puts her down (not talking about some of her fans) has a definite problem in their heart and mind. She is respectful to everyone. Not angry, boastful, or arrogant.
To be honest if I didn’t love the fever. I would like to see her get traded to the lynx maybe. Thoughts?
Fever will be fine
Fever could have won but the refs made calls against fever which were suspect at best. That line up was horrific by Christie sides
DS in the WNBA?
Minnesota is a good team, but there was definitely some home cooking for the Lynx. lol Fever didn't play well for large stretches of the game though. Smith, Katie Lou and Wheeler didn't show up and contribute.
The Fever lost because Sides blew another one. The Fever are a stacked team with eight first-round picks plus Erica Wheeler who was an all-star MVP. They had five days off and they missed 22 of 29 wide-open threes. So, how does this happen? Simple, with this much talent and rest it is all about coaching and Sides did not have them ready, She and Dunn both need to go. With that said, a big hat tip to Maya. If all the WNBA players had one-tenth her class, the league would have the recognition they all say they want, but have done absolutely nothing to earn.
Maya Moore could play defense.
Coach Reeve didnt ignite the fire before the game😅 just kidding😁
Well Mya you were a hell of player all round, she better get busy be on your Level..Lets See but she Not WNBA Aja Wilson IS..CC ain't won NO championships in college etc... lot ppl have excitement but what else cause I Ain't Seen it YET❤
Reeve has to stop trying to be a gangsta and start behaving with class.
Mya Moore got on her ass about Caitlin I think
Yeah that ref was trash, he had it out for Clark the no call on the 3 and the travel was ridiculous then a play or 2 later Clark barely touched a Lynx player on a 3 and he called a foul on her.
That one lynx had her hand on CC waist every time for the whole time she had the ball, I just don’t get why that’s acceptable.
That was a travel. Lol. They call that all the time. "Not gonna ket them win" smh Lynx probably gonna finish the year as the 2 seed. They're elite. Indy aint there yet.
There are days when shots are off. Just hapens.
So her coach made sure they lost for the moment
Cheryl said earlier that she is not in the trenches with her? Lie again?
Fever defense terrible. Sides made disruptive team changes. Why. If it's not broke, don't fix it.!!!
The energy was definitely off in this game for Indiana and their defense was awful
If ANYONE gets the torch passed to them by Maya Moore, it's Napheesa Collier.
You iowa people make everything about this rookie player that won NOTHING in college.
It's exhausting to have this false narrative shoved down our throats at every turn.
Maya was an NCAA champion, Phee was an NCAA champion, Angel Reese was an NCAA champion, and Kamilla Cardoso was an NCAA champion.
Guess who WAS NOT?
She’s already reached many rookie or wnba records….who is even talking about college? People don’t claim CC is the best player….shes the most entertaining player to watch. Her composure and poise off the court is also engaging and people respect that.
She also went to a school that was in no way considered a “Blue Blood” in college basketball and managed to get to the Finals two years in a row. It takes a team to win, and while those Iowa women played their hearts out, they could not match up at every position, mostly because of height. What they accomplished is the stuff great sport movies are made of!
Doesn’t the most points scored in ncaa history mean anything? 🤦♂️🤡
It's called RESPECT for the Game!! Mya night not Catlin!
I wish 22 looked more like 10, then I might watch. But the actual gameplay is still completely unwatchable. This nonsense will rock your Brains
They had a rough night it happens Missed a lot of 3s should have worked more into paint CC missed a lot of her deep passes tonight
That being said Lynx really good team fever really not at that level yet
And she still finished with 23 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds. Imagine thinking CC had a bad night with what most would consider a season high night? That's how good she really is...
Sam u is a cc fan boy only riding cc 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He literally shows love to all the players in all his videos. Probably one of the few channels that does that
In one of his other videos he said he was covering the rest of the Fever & Sky games the rest of the season. You just a cc hater
@@LawwMoney i dont give a f what u have to say 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@FrankJones-k2h You black? You sound black. Just curious.
talk about fan boys....dude, does using more emoticons make your point better? Coz I ain't seein' it.
Yeah, Caitlin Clark was handed the torch by getting butt kicked by the Minnesota Lynx.. Fanboy Caitlin Clark content creators like Sam are doing anything to keep worshiping Caitlin Clark..
Damn its 4 in the morning and your hating
😂 A veteran team vs a rookie??? 10 points is not butt kicking. 😂
Haters doing anything to keep hating CC
Reckon you a little heated ‘cause Angel Reese ain’t on the same level. 😂
That's funny, didn't your chicago thuglets get their ass handed to them yet again....
THE LYNK SUCK NO MATTER WHAT LOL LOL
Stop cappin for Clarke black man....
