Caitlin... needs a break, to rest for the second half of the season. The Olympic team didn't pick her, the Coach of the Olympic team hates Caitlin, and the players don't want her on the team. And won't treat her properly, it won't be a good memory for Clark. I say screw the Olympic team. I hope Clark leads the All-Star team to a Jurassic Team defeat.
Naw. She’s going to be putting in her work for that 30-day break, while the rest of the WNBA will be taking a spa month. When CC comes back from break she’ll be hot and everyone else will be just warming back up.
The WNBA needs men coaches to teach these women how to play better and be better on defense. Coaches that will push them to their limits and not just stand there with their hands up trying to block a shot. They may even get better verticals, than the 6 inch verticals they have now. At least teach them how to dunk.
Caitlin Clark is ahead of Taurasi in every stat except 3pt% and turnovers. She's hit more 3pt shots than Taurasi and most of her turnovers are because her teammates drop the passes. She belongs on the team ahead of Taurasi.
I watched every game very few are because her teamates drop her passes most she gets the ball stolen from her a lot and she make passes like she was at Iowa
Most of what you said was true . 80% of turnovers are CC's fault.. but it's because she's being triple covered ,double stacked and pressed from half court. And doubled off the screens 100% of the time
The turnover thing is overblown. She has the ball more and she’s merely replaced the turnovers that the rest of the players had been making. The top scorers alway have a lot of turnovers. Like LeBron, and Steph.
Last night was horrible! Dribbled it away twice. And the rest of the team didn’t showup for any support! Mitchell was not even Tasmanian Devil showing up! AND??? The lack of in depth defense was painfully evident as Dallas kept hitting the shots!
-Isn't that Ironic? -Words Matter? -CC so far has gotten the Last Laugh! No worries! Every Game that CC's plays in will reflect/show that She is a One Generational Player. Why Race is an issue is just Ignorant Behavior. Shameful and almost Dam Criminal.
Karma: DT got the dose of reality. Her and the other over the hill “grown women” WNBA players are getting smoked by the 22 year old barely-out-of-college rookie.
@@iequalsnoob She's the best 22 year old. She'll be the best 23 year old too, etc. Remember most of her competition is on average 5 years older than her. I reckon by the time she's 27 she'll be the best woman player in the world...perhaps before then.
. So you think she can, "carry" the Olympic team considering her injury? If the answer is no, then you're appealing to the same sentiment as those making the argument for CC and her mass popularity.
Reeves has treated Caitlin Clarke brutally! Meanness mixed in & disgruntled bitterness! It's shocking! HOW COULD THE USA OLYMPIC COACH BE SO BRUTAL TO A ROOKIE! ASHAMED!
CC will not give into the Lesbians on team USA.......they all stick together and will take over the rookies in the shower.........been going on in women's sports for years.......
Frankly in tired of the whole thing. You have one woman who can’t pass the drug test. Another who is injured. That leaves two spots available. The OC doesn’t want CC one the team. I won’t be watching WNBA Olympic Basketball period.
"... her SHORT WNBA career..." Diana was leaning on that really hard! She's chosen to be the villain, a lot like Bird was when MJ was a rookie... she's a unicorn, let's face it! The snubbing and the hatred only makes her story a thousand times better! Hate all you want, Caitlin has 35 haters, she needs to figure out how to get to 45 haters before the summer's end! ❤❤
Several other Legends on the team are Hurt 9 Players on the Olympic Team are from just 3 teams.....Sure they chose the best. Like everything else the W does, it's a Girls Who Like Girls Popularity Contest
WNBA: "We have a minimum of 2 open spots on the Olympic team roster, but we can't add one of our TOP FIVE players in the entire league.." That's right, I said it... Caitlin Clark is one of the TOP FIVE players in the WNBA.. Right Now.
@@Maurice181 Correct! That's Because the whole Olympic Dog and Pony Show is just an Alphabet Mafia Popularity Contest...And Rookies are Tolerated, but Not Liked, unless their "Gate" Swings in a Very particular Direction.
If Clark is selected for the Olympic Team, she needs to say no thanks because the Olympic coach will not play her, and the viewership ratings will be way up because people will tune in to watch Caitlin play. Afterwards, the WNBA will point out high the ratings were without Clark even playing! I sure hope she’s intelligent enough to beat them at their own game and come up with some kind of an excuse why she can’t join the team if asked.
Griner, a convicted criminal, should be kicked out of the league. What a great role model she is for young women. Do whatever you want, and get a "get out of jail card" for free. Disgusting.
I really hope they don't put her on the team. Not because she doesn't deserve it, (She ABSOLUTELY does!), but because she NEEDS the break. Both physically and emotionally. If she doesn't, then she will end up playing for over a YEAR straight without a break. That CAN’T be good for her. Remember, the more tired a athlete gets, the more prone they are to burnout and injury. And (I hope), none of us want that. This is a time for all of her fans to think about HER well being.
If you’re talking about losing games that won’t happen. USA WBB is the best in the world. If you’re talking about losing viewership that will definitely happen. CC fans won’t watch out of defiance and the fringe fans won’t watch out of disinterest without Clark.
@@jenniferduncan4966it ain't so much about the fans as it is about sponsorship and business intelligence which shows a prime example of why some should NOT be allowed to make business decisions! Feeling and emotions DON'T pay bills!
@@Ffoo_ffighter Haha! Caitlin gets shit from the media for everything she does anyway! Nobody with half a brain pays any attention to what they say or write, she needs the time off and should take it!
This seems to get everybody triggered. Everyone except for Clark. If there is an opening and they ask Clark, she should decline and say she needs the time off.
Nick Wright actually had the best take on this I've heard. CC should not join the Olympic team and take the month off from being in the media spotlight. Just as a young human, she's had no break from the attention in well over a year.
As a non BB fan, i see this as a plus for CC. She's been snubbed by the Olympic and American team selectors, which can only ignite a bigger fire in her belly to prove her haters wrong. I wish CC all the best in the future from England.
Pete Maravich and the spirit of Basketball lives in Caitlin Clark. Pete was a phenom and so is Caitlin ...... I never thought I would ever see another player like Pete but here it is ....
@kerrylee4633 Shaq must have had a brain fart. Reese an athlete - seriously? Just look at all the great football players that have come out of LSU. Justin Jefferson for one.😅
The WNBA is clearly showing why it is a struggling organization. With the best group of rookies to come into the league in decades and the popularity of one in particular, the WNBA shows its poor management skills and clearly indicates why it cannot make a profit. I personally hope CC gets tired of the crap and pursues other opportunities to leave the WNBA to the lackluster future it deserves.
Roller Derby vibes! Every once in a while you can see the TALENT of any of these teams shining through!!! And then they start up again with the field goal layups,,etc. Smith dribbled herself out of bounds early on and she had a clear field in front of her. The game last night was PAINFUL TO WATCH!!! That long pass to the point made BUT a timeout was called for off the bench by sides just about made me faint?
Seems like most of the playrrs and the league have done nothing but try to build up Angel Reese, while at the same time giving CC constant shit. Reese is trash compared to CC... Seems like they have some massive jealously issues.
Caitlin is the learning curve for WNBA to adjust to. She could have been the leader of the women's Dream Team. A typical FU by the WNBA, the Olympic committee, and the Karen coach.
They don't need her. They been making it for 26 years. Be for real. I can tell you a new fan. And you are not a fan of the WNBA. You are a fan of her. So she needs them.
@@itstheheistmeister3796 I had zero interest in the WNBA until Caitlin. She is superior to Michael Jordan in significance for a "new fan" like us. We may not be a fan of the WNBA as of yet, but Caitlin is your best chance at getting us hooked.
And ten years from now, the legends of how CC, the GOAT, was treated by WNBA and aligned media, will still be regularly retold in all kinds of contexts. A lot of people should start to consider how they can keep their names out of those legends. 🙄 My suggestion is give her the MVP as well. With the number of points and audience and money she earns, she well deserves it already.
no disrespect towards taurasi here but her calling out other people for being "too sensitive" is just plain laughable, definitely hypocritical at least
They don't want her because she will "Out Shine them" on the court. And my advice to her is to not accept an invite as this late date and tell them maybe "Next Time" because the Olympic Team needs her more than She needs them. The Olympic's have added so many sports that I only watch the Track and Field.
It is amazing the difference in how Caitlin has been treated as a top rookie and how Paul Skenes has been treated as a top rookie. WNBA has really dropped the ball.
Caitlin Clark Until stumbling over a news item, I had less than no interest in women's basketball, at any level. . One Second of seeing CC-22 impersonating Stephen Curry hooked me! The second second and I realized Caitlin Clark wasn't copying anybody! . Because what I know is based on clips showing her shooting half-court 3-pointers and making magical passes, reminiscent of Magic Johnson to Kareem when everyone in the stadium and home in front of their television KNEW the Sky-Hook was coming and nobody could stop it, I see patterns where the playing style of CC-22 is changing the team. Boston figured out that all she has to do is get below the basket, stick out a mitt and the basketball would appear in it. . Anyway, I think she is playing perfectly, playing her game and letting the team adjust to things like having a pass actually come to them, and supporting each others play. I think I see a team in name becoming a team in practice.
Arike deserves to be on Team USA before anyone else. She show out in the WNBA All-Star game against the USA Women’s Olympic team. Clark & Reese deserves to be in there also. As a matter fact, the entire WNBA All-Star team shoukd have gone to the Olympics since they beat the USA Olympic team.
How embarrassing it must be that ONLY when 1 particular away team comes to town the home team has to move to an areana 2 or 3 or 4 times bigger just for that one game and the following week downsize again as no one is interested in the other teams
Clark attended Team USA Olympic Camp while she was in Iowa. She couldn’t make the last few team sessions because of the NCAA tournament. She was listed as an alternate for the team. While there are politics in place about bitter veterans. There is a practical aspect underneath. With Taurasi out… and Clark is a former alternate. There should be no reason she isn’t selected. She may be a rookie but she already has 2 U17 Team USA Gold Medals already.
I don't think Brittney Griner should be on that team that's supposed to be for the USA, & you would think players who are role models, & upstanding people. Not someone who got in trouble & to get her out, the US released the MERCHANT OF DEATH back into the world.
This long-term treatment of Caitlin Clark doesn't become more professional and less Petty. It is only going to hurt the WNBA. One upsetting thing to me, as a fan for 70 years, the Olympics is not about winning and has never been. Read the Olympic Creed.🇺🇸
If Caitlin is welcomed whole heartedly to be apart of team USA fine, if not wait four years and build the team around her. It would be useless to be on a team that doesn't accept you. It's their loss, not Caitlin's. I'm sure Caitlin could use the break and from all the hysteria that surrounds her. My hat's off to her for everything she's accomplished and endured in her first year in the WNBA.
Funny Caitlin is averaging more points than taurasi, leading the league in assists, recording the first ever triple double for a rookie and just yesterday she made a new WNBA assist record with 19 dimes...
Clark said she needed a break though, which was why she declined the 3 pt contest. She may not actually want to go to the Olympics. Her usage rate at Iowa was very high, probably all time high.
Wall St. Journal: "Caitlin Clark is the GOAT of TV ratings" WNBA: "We're leaving Caitlin Clark off the US Women's Olympic team roster." Also WNBA: "Why are our Olympic team's TV rating so bad?"
Imagine how disappointing it was for CC to hear DT, her lifetime idol, say that about CC as she entered the professional league.. clearly DT is not a professional
Sounds like a lot of feline jealousy even by the Olympic coach. With the WBNA lack of fan support, sounds like Caitlin is drastically needed by the women's league financially and attendance wise.
US women have won the last seven (7) times--but CC doesn't have the experience. But her first year, she only has numerous RECORDS...complete BS. Imagine if track and field kept 16, 17, and 18 year old youth off the Olympic team with the explanation: "They just don't have the experience!" I no longer feel any sympathy for the WNBA and their marketing plight!
CC is to classy to turn the olympic committee down when they come back crawling to CC begging her to replace Taurasi (who looks like Danny Partridge). I wish she would turn the down, but she won't.
Irrelevant. In 92, MJ wasn't a rookie. By saying that I am NOT saying that CC should not be in the team. But that's not comparable. In 92 MJ play 6 seasons in the NBA and won 2 titles. CC is probably super talented, but that's her first Season, and the wnba IS not as hard as a NBA Season is. Let her grow. You guys will have her leading your team USA for LA28. Give her time to prove she is the new superstar.
CC22 deserves the offer to play on Team USA, but I hope she doesn't take it for a number of reasons.. Team USA hindsight, coach, GM, and CC deserves some much needed time with family. My gut tells me they will play CC22 up until the last game of the Olympics to win the Gold
The saddest part of this whole mess is that Clark has been a huge fan of the wnba. The only reason some of us know about the league was because of for love and basketball. ( that movie was so great) or the negative headlines of the past decade that impacted players.
Imagine if Tarausi made an announcement and said she is removing herself from Team USA due to injury and endorsed Caitlin Clark to replace her. DT would go from this villain person to a bit of a hero. It would be a great turn around and decision for her to do it.
Here’s another reason, we watched them play against each other, and Taurasi got her axx kicked, not nearly as good, it resulted in an axx injury for Taurasi
Why would Clark now accept the invite? Taurasi can’t hold a candle to her. In every aspect of her game she is better than Taurasi - and head to head - she absolutely DOMINATED Taurasi. BUT - if they can’t see that she’ll be the best player on the floor - and the league hates her - So, Clark should just enjoy the time off. The coach - Reeves is an awful coach. Just horrible tactics on her own team.
@77hoolie, Well CC did refuse to participate in the All Star 3-point shooting contest today. I'm sure ESPN wasn't happy as it could cost them extra viewership which = $$$$$$$ for the network. She had no interest in giving the WNBA anymore attention. Why would she after the way the veterans have treated her. I watched the first few minutes of today's contest, but turned it off. Not one mention of CC or AB, but they did show them sitting on the sideline watching.
Chelsea Gray hadn't been cleared to return when they announced the squad so I don't understand why she was even on. NOW, there are other injuries, and still no word. Honestly, I hope Team USA's women don't get the gold. Yes, I'm petty.
It's funny they say cc will be facing grown women but these "grown women " act like a bunch of jealous babies
WOMEN have bad spots-MAN-ship.
Caitlin... needs a break, to rest for the second half of the season.
The Olympic team didn't pick her, the Coach of the Olympic team hates Caitlin, and the players don't want her on the team. And won't treat her properly, it won't be a good memory for Clark. I say screw the Olympic team.
I hope Clark leads the All-Star team to a Jurassic Team defeat.
Point well made.
I agree 100%
BINGO!!!!!
Excellent points!
Naw. She’s going to be putting in her work for that 30-day break, while the rest of the WNBA will be taking a spa month. When CC comes back from break she’ll be hot and everyone else will be just warming back up.
Caitlin SHOULD NOT accept the invitation to participate and let Cheryl Reeves eat all the s..t she was talking about.
I came here to say the exact same thing.
I agree!!
Fact. F no
Don't agree. She shouldn't be petty. Take the spot, get the Gold, and grow your brand. It's immature and short-sighted to be as petty as others.
Can I ask how many times in a row have they won the gold medal? It was gonna be no different.
Reeve is an activist, not a basketball coach.
Yep. “All Girls Rock”
The WNBA needs men coaches to teach these women how to play better and be better on defense.

Arike deserves to be on Team USA before anyone else. She show out in the WNBA All-Star game against the USA Women’s Olympic team. Clark & Reese deserves to be in there also. As a matter fact, the entire WNBA All-Star team shoukd have gone to the Olympics since they beat the USA Olympic team.
How embarrassing it must be that ONLY when 1 particular away team comes to town the home team has to move to an areana 2 or 3 or 4 times bigger just for that one game and the following week downsize again as no one is interested in the other teams
Clark attended Team USA Olympic Camp while she was in Iowa. She couldn’t make the last few team sessions because of the NCAA tournament. She was listed as an alternate for the team.
While there are politics in place about bitter veterans.
There is a practical aspect underneath.
With Taurasi out… and Clark is a former alternate. There should be no reason she isn’t selected.
She may be a rookie but she already has 2 U17 Team USA Gold Medals already.
I don't think Brittney Griner should be on that team that's supposed to be for the USA, & you would think players who are role models, & upstanding people. Not someone who got in trouble & to get her out, the US released the MERCHANT OF DEATH back into the world.
Men make decisions with a business mind.
Women make decisions with an emotional mind. They are always their own worst enemies. #Jealousy#Pettiness
This long-term treatment of Caitlin Clark doesn't become more professional and less Petty. It is only going to hurt the WNBA.
One upsetting thing to me, as a fan for 70 years, the Olympics is not about winning and has never been.
Read the Olympic Creed.🇺🇸
If Caitlin is welcomed whole heartedly to be apart of team USA fine, if not wait four years and build the team around her. It would be useless to be on a team that doesn't accept you. It's their loss, not Caitlin's. I'm sure Caitlin could use the break and from all the hysteria that surrounds her. My hat's off to her for everything she's accomplished and endured in her first year in the WNBA.
Funny Caitlin is averaging more points than taurasi, leading the league in assists, recording the first ever triple double for a rookie and just yesterday she made a new WNBA assist record with 19 dimes...
Don't go girl.... Save your energy for your team... Indiana Fever...
7:14 "Don't double down on dumb" ... lollllll🤣
BG should not be allowed to be on any team that represents 🇺🇸
Clark said she needed a break though, which was why she declined the 3 pt contest. She may not actually want to go to the Olympics. Her usage rate at Iowa was very high, probably all time high.
Caitlin should refuse if she is asked to be part of the USA team. They purposely snubbed her.
Wall St. Journal: "Caitlin Clark is the GOAT of TV ratings"
WNBA: "We're leaving Caitlin Clark off the US Women's Olympic team roster."
Also WNBA: "Why are our Olympic team's TV rating so bad?"
Give the young lady a rest. She has been playing non-stop since last fall.
Watch out for Belgium at Olympics....
The old women's Olympic team better bring back gold
They play women equal to HS level skill
Imagine how disappointing it was for CC to hear DT, her lifetime idol, say that about CC as she entered the professional league.. clearly DT is not a professional
Diana Taurasi is a grown woman. So grown she's 42 years old and past her prime.
Brittany Griner? Are you kidding me?
Ain't nothing more petty and jealous then women hating on women!! So sad!
@@ryanjackson7900 You mean more beautiful lol!
@@kerrythomas6220 most time I would agree with you bud but these women are out of there GD MINDS! LOL
@@ryanjackson7900 Of course they are! Ain’t it a beautiful thing lol!
At least they’re not hating on us for a change 😥
Sounds like a lot of feline jealousy even by the Olympic coach. With the WBNA lack of fan support, sounds like Caitlin is drastically needed by the women's league financially and attendance wise.
Caitlyn has been great
CC is the best and not a second choice for the Olympics.
Caitlin is getting better really fast.
US women have won the last seven (7) times--but CC doesn't have the experience. But her first year, she only has numerous RECORDS...complete BS. Imagine if track and field kept 16, 17, and 18 year old youth off the Olympic team with the explanation: "They just don't have the experience!" I no longer feel any sympathy for the WNBA and their marketing plight!
CC is to classy to turn the olympic committee down when they come back crawling to CC begging her to replace Taurasi (who looks like Danny Partridge). I wish she would turn the down, but she won't.
BS the last 4 overall number 1 picks all made the Olympic team.
I bet the Paris Olympic organizers would like Caitlin Clark to be on Team USA. Think of the Massive difference CC-22 would make in ticket sales.💶💶💶
Reverse Discrimination On Full Display Here!!!!!!
Imagine the men’s Dream Team without Michael Jordan. 😂
Delusional league
Irrelevant. In 92, MJ wasn't a rookie.
By saying that I am NOT saying that CC should not be in the team. But that's not comparable. In 92 MJ play 6 seasons in the NBA and won 2 titles. CC is probably super talented, but that's her first Season, and the wnba IS not as hard as a NBA Season is.
Let her grow. You guys will have her leading your team USA for LA28. Give her time to prove she is the new superstar.
Imagine the Dream Team without Isaiah Thomas; oh yeah, Jordan made that happen!
@@kevinmarquez6349 good breakdown but CC has already proved she's the new superstar
Jordan was the BEST player in the league, Caitlin is the most POPULAR player in the league.
I wouldn’t play for that coach. And I will not watch!
"In Basketball terms this is a layup, in NBA terms this is a slam dunk." That shade! 🤣
She is very classy so she will accept if it is brought up, I also personally think she should not go because they need them she don't need them😂😂😂😂
NO THEY WON'T!
Too stupid to put the best player in the wnba on Olympics team.
No CC - No watch .
meanwhile she breaking records each week.
they finally get a player that can make the league profitable... and they treat her like shit...
sounds about right
She hadn’t played Clark when she dissed her, fair enough, BUT played her then payed her respects. Real recognises real!
CC22 deserves the offer to play on Team USA, but I hope she doesn't take it for a number of reasons..
Team USA hindsight, coach, GM, and CC deserves some much needed time with family.
My gut tells me they will play CC22 up until the last game of the Olympics to win the Gold
standard procedure = political
DEI---the OBiden way, been going on for years
I’m not following USA women’s basketball in the Olympics unless Caitlin is on the team. Olympic committee blew this one.
IF CC don’t get to play in the USA team it will be bad business for the WNBA
The saddest part of this whole mess is that Clark has been a huge fan of the wnba. The only reason some of us know about the league was because of for love and basketball. ( that movie was so great) or the negative headlines of the past decade that impacted players.
Diana Taurusi will be lucky to be remembered from playing alongside CC
After just setting the all time WNBA record of assists in a game if she is not selected we all know what the problem with that league is......
yet, they put griner on the team? total snub, you know you know
Britney Griner is on the USA Olympic team, this makes alot of sense.
CC needs some time off to get rested up for the 2nd half of her rookie season! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Who runs the WNBA maybe you should step down. 😊
Imagine if Tarausi made an announcement and said she is removing herself from Team USA due to injury and endorsed Caitlin Clark to replace her. DT would go from this villain person to a bit of a hero. It would be a great turn around and decision for her to do it.
Coach and US team just STUPID.
She is the Hillary Clinton of basketball.
Taurasi is old and worn out. Clark runs circle around her. She needs to retire her old ass.
No way i would play on the usa team if i were catlin clark..
I'd tell the US team...no thanks and best of success in your quest for gold!
Here’s another reason, we watched them play against each other, and Taurasi got her axx kicked, not nearly as good, it resulted in an axx injury for Taurasi
Wow. If the rest of the world can't come close to the American team, full of WNBA players, how bad must the rest of the world be?
They don’t even have jerseys to sell for CC as they already sold out in 18 min
There was no team in the wnba that was wildly popular before CC got there.
She wore Diana when she played her.
I didn't even know there's a women's basketball in Olympics until recently due to CC
You have missed a lot of great dominate basketball by our Women's Olympic basketball teams.
Why would Clark now accept the invite?
Taurasi can’t hold a candle to her. In every aspect of her game she is better than Taurasi - and head to head - she absolutely DOMINATED Taurasi.
BUT - if they can’t see that she’ll be the best player on the floor - and the league hates her -
So, Clark should just enjoy the time off.
The coach - Reeves is an awful coach. Just horrible tactics on her own team.
@77hoolie, Well CC did refuse to participate in the All Star 3-point shooting contest today. I'm sure ESPN wasn't happy as it could cost them extra viewership which = $$$$$$$ for the network. She had no interest in giving the WNBA anymore attention. Why would she after the way the veterans have treated her. I watched the first few minutes of today's contest, but turned it off. Not one mention of CC or AB, but they did show them sitting on the sideline watching.
Chelsea Gray hadn't been cleared to return when they announced the squad so I don't understand why she was even on. NOW, there are other injuries, and still no word. Honestly, I hope Team USA's women don't get the gold. Yes, I'm petty.
