Hey y'all! Today is my birthday!
I turn 22 today, so if you see this, all I ask is for you to subscribe and share my channel with somebody you know that loves basketball.
I will respond to as many comments as I can tomorrow 🙏🏾🏀
Please keep doing more videos like this pick another team you like and do a similar breakdown even if its stronger team, for example seattle adding new people or more 3 point heavy mercury etc.
Happy Birthday Josh And Thanks For The Great Video!!! Can You Please Do A Video Breaking Down Tyrese Haliburton's Play From This Season? Big Indiana Sports Fan Here Love Watching Your Content On My Favorite Teams💛💛💛.
Happy 22 … interestingly, same age as CC, and her jersey number ; ) …. Like your strategic objective take on things!
Subbed. Great analysis!! Keep it coming. Happy birthday!!!!
Happy 22nd Birthday!
Please please send this to Christie Sides.
Just what I said, too.
I just e-mailed Pacer staff, explained the video, and sent in the link to this video. There is no direct link at the Fever site for contact with the Fever, so I asked Pacer staff to forward it.
It won't help, she's stuck on stupid.
@@christopheryochum3602 Thank you! Hope they watch it and learn something from it.
Omg literally my first thought
I learned more in your 15 minute video than anything on ESPN - nice work
Temi Fagbenle and Caitlin were a perfect duo. Too bad she's hurt
Yes, indeed. She worked well with Caitlin Clark, always in the right position.
She'll be back stronger than eveer
Fax! CC to Temi is money 🔥

I actually sent your analysis to a friend, a hall of fame basketball coaching legend himself, asking him his take on your analysis I was so impressed with you. After this I thought to glance at your # of subscribers & was startled to see how few you have. I believe your talent for "seeing" solutions & analysis is a gift you were probably born with you are so good at it, so keep on striving hard to break into the big numbers ... bet you do! :) Sincerely, a long ago basketball coach turned businessman who loves seeing "hidden" (for now anyway) talent like yours! PS: If I were the Indiana Fever coach, I think I would hire you IMMEDIATELY to come into my practice and coach these things :)
Some guy complimented my analysis one time. But man, He was just trying to get in my pants Fruit Loop style. Watch your back.
Call them…with a reference from the HoFer.
Your positive words to this brother touched my heart..thank you.kindness makes a difference in our lives!
I agree so much with this post! Such a great analysis! How do we get this video to the Fever staff? I hope they’re catching this stuff…
This is the analysis I search youtube for, not all the drama nonsense.
I was wondering if this was normal in the wnba to miss assignments running plays.
Not a basketball player, so all I could see is what I thought was lack of movement. This is a great explanation for a casual nba/wnba watcher. Thanks
Same here. Looks like middle school team where the kid with the ball gets trapped and everybody else is standing around.
@@MrWebsterThis is the best analysis I have heard. These Players have not jelled with Caitlin yet😮
You mean she hasn’t jelled with them. They were there. Boston is a 2 x NC and WNBA Rookie of the Year 2023.
@@YouAREyoubeYou ... and how many people have even heard the name Boston ?? She needs to figure out how to play CC's game - it's that simple.
@@richard_M7116 CC took a hand full of average collegiate players to the finals and these "PROS" can't manage to be successful with her ?? From what I have heard, it sounds like some of her so-called "team" mates are actively working with opposing players to keep CC from being successful. That is how ignorant this liberal, woke WNBA mentality is. They don't deserve her talent or the potential success she can bring to their unimpressive league.
Sides is the worst coach in the league. All of the lack of team cohesion flows from her. A new coach with a strong voice would fix this almost instantly.
How would you like unqualified RUclipsrs come to your place of employment and tell you how to do your job and call for you to be fired?🤔
Roster is devoid of elite defenders/offensive rebounders and needs several more years of smart trades, drafts, and player development.
Losing Temi, almost no practice + hardest schedule on purpose by league to kick start exposure to the established stars has been great for everyone except Indiana Fever.
People who scream “Fire the Coach!” are a dime a dozen in the modern world of instant gratification “entitled” fans.
She hasn’t had practice time with the team either though. Not sayings she’s great, just think she needs time to actually get with her team and put some stuff in. All these items are fixable.
@@johnnysteelalpha7713 If the Fever come out of this break when they have time to practice and work on their offense being as stagnant and ineffective as before, then I think it's fair to point at the coach. Meanwhile, as you say, they haven't really had much practice time at all with a short training camp/exhibition game schedule and a ton of games packed into a short period of time.
And quite a bit of that is due to this being an Olympic year, with the games coming in the middle of the WNBA season.
They need more talent on the floor too
she is terrible and everybody knows it, she's clueless who plays favourites with her players who played with her at atlanta. She deserves all the criticism she gets. Her game management is shit and she clearly didn't want caitlin clark. The worst head coach & worst GM = The fever getting another no1 pick to ruin.
appreciate the facts and not the put-downs; you did not put down any player off or def nor a coach. great job! great analysis. I think you are spot on…
🙏🏾
After watching this, I now understand why people say a lot of her turnovers aren't (completely) her fault. It does seem that she throws the ball into opponent hands, but after this video it's clear that her teammates often don't rotate how they should. Or don't put proper screens.
She's often left with choosing between 1) a pass to a teammate who is doubled or closely defended, or when the passing lane is occupied by an opponent 2) putting up an awkward shot when she's trapped/doubled 3) shot clock violation.
Her teammates don't know what to do. There is a reason the team has been really bad for a really long time.
11:25 she will become one of the best, but right now she is not the best passer, shooter and playmaker in the league. I was with you until that point
@@davidhill7071 its the coaches job to teach her teammates what to do. the question is why isnt she.
@@rip0v they honestly havent had time lol. they werent breaks between college and pro and theyve played so many damn games in a short time.
Part of the reason why the Fever have no offensive chemistry is that the WNBA front loaded their schedule so badly, so they are a young team but have had the least practice time. The Fever played 11 games in the first 20 days of the season. No one else played more than 9, the veteran and defending champion LV Aces only played 7, and ATL only played 6. That is a killer.
Well, if you want more Caitlin Clark, you have to have her play games more frequently.
@@smoothsavage2870 Over the course of the season, all of the teams will play the same number of games. Not giving this young team any time to gel before subjecting them to the most difficult schedule in the league seems a recipe for disaster.
@@projoebiochem I understand what you're saying and agree. But the fans and the media have pushed for this to happen because they consider Caitlin the golden goose. I think the amount of games she's playing is a byproduct of all of the popularity she's gotten in the past couple of years.
@@smoothsavage2870 So, they’re killing the golden goose.
@@projoebiochem That they are.
Thank you! I"m so glad this popped up on my algorithm! ... Breath of fresh air -- and analysis about the ACTUAL game! And a good one that even a newbie like me can understand the strategies that you point out! : )
🙏🏾
Holy crap, Josh! Send this in to the Fever. Really astute analysis with video proof of what you're seeing. Excellent video.
There are a three people I've bookmarked, all of whom are former coaches and players. I sent the URL of this video to all three. Now I hope you won't be miffed at me, but I also sent the URL to the Pacer's contact e-mail because the Fever don't have a listed one. My short letter in the e-mail was rather well-worded and just suggested they take a look at the video, explaining how you backed up all your points with video clips. I was very polite; the e-mail I wrote was very soft and pleasant. If a screener at the Pacer's contact e-mail even looked at the video for a few seconds, I thought he or she might say, "Hmm, this is thoughtful and well-reasoned." By the way, one of the RUclipsrs I sent it to responded to me and said the video was great, and this guy's videos are full of basketball terms and plays I still don't grasp ... but he got back to me and was very positive. So glad I saw your video.
@@christopheryochum3602 - I have seen these comments nd others by you. That is great and I hope everything goes well.
That being said, how sad would it be if some 1.65k 22 year old content creator on RUclips is what helps the Fever? Shouldn't the organization have true professionals, including quality controal coaches, who deal with this?
Also, it is difficult to "fix" these problems on the short time table of the WNBA. The draft was on April 15th and the first games were plaed two weeks later. What kind of insane schedule is that? I am a fan of American football, and the time needed to bring a team together, work on plays and gel is a heck of a lot longer than two weeks and 2-3 days between games.
Thank you for a clear-headed, insightful, well-informed analysis
As a college women’s basketball fan for a decade, I’ve been skeptical to click into those videos about CC and Fevers as I saw too many bs. I’m so glad I clicked into your video! Your analysis is amazing! I love the game but never played myself so I don’t fully understand play designs. I really learned A LOOOOOT from your video. Thanks!
THANK YOU JOSH I have been looking for someone to break down and analyze the Christie plays versus Lisa Bluder when I look at the coverage WNBA versus college yes there is some skill level differences, but definitely not what the WNBA hypes their expertise. Christy sides has been associated with losing coaches for 20 years to carry on losing for the fever. I think she needs to step down. I don’t think she has knowledge or ability to create plays or knowledge to breakdown exactly what happened on each individual play and teach them how to fix the problem
Thanks for an intelligent breakdown. There’s so many drama takes surrounding CC. It’s much appreciated to have an insightful analysis . I’m subscribing.
🙏🏾
I’ve looking for something exactly like this. I appreciate the hard work and the analysis.
Before watching, I would have said either the coach is doing a poor job at designing and teaching her offense or the players either aren't capable or refuse to run the offense. After watching, I see we agree.
After watching the 1st game, I said they needed Czinano. People took that too literally. They need a player like Czinano that can set a pick, knows when and where to roll, and has great hands.
Czinano can't even stay on a WNBA roster, forget it.
@@go2hvn2008 I said a player like Czinano that can set a pick, knows when and where to roll, and has great hands.
@@go2hvn2008 Well this is an unfair metric to critique somebody. We've seen fantastic players get waived before. She's still got massive skills.
You just earned yourself a new subscriber!! Hope you cover the Fever more often, really big CC fan and I am so happy to have stumbled upon a channel that actually talks about basketball. I don't know much about Xs and Os but your explanations help me digest the game a lot better. Keep doing what you're doing, thank you for sharing it with us!
thank you for watching 🙏🏾
These so called experts never address rebounding. Just watch how many times a Fever player shoots and the whole team just stands still and watches the shot go in or miss almost none of them actually go to the ball and try to rebound.
Fever does not have a center. All players are guards or forwards.
Just standing there is the main theme I noticed immediately. Idk how good or bad the coach is supposed to be but I do know they've been picking 1st lately sooo
@@racebannon96 That is the truth and if you look at the draft that they had they could have got a good 6'6" center in the second round and even in the third but NOOOOO these idiots had 5 Guards on the team already and drafted 3 more which is totally idiotic. Even though drafting C.C doesn't count because that was a no brainer.
With all the endless WWE-style hype in WNBA videos lately, yours is the FIRST I've seen actually BREAK DOWN TAPE. Thank you for this, keep it up and you will get tons of views!
This is a very interesting analysis of the Indiana Fever's challenges. Their coaches and players should watch it. Thanks for the video.
Josh, Lin Dunn and HC Christie Sides need to watch your video. Sides seem devoid of any strategy.
Not ready to blow the whistle on Sides yet. Even the best of strategies are worthless if players don't execute. They've had a brutal schedule to open the season with little time to practice and it's tough to execute anything if your legs are gone. Still hopeful.
You are a tremendous basketball analyzer! I really enjoyed what you had to say and I learned a lot from you! Thx!
Josh, this is the most informative analysis of the reason for lack of success for the fever. They should listen and learn.
Excellent analysis of the offense. I couldnt quite figure out why Boston looked so clumsy and slow in the pick and roll. Your explanation gave clarity. This will improve when their hectic schedule allows time for practice
Maybe someone should send Boston the video.
I feel like you just did the coach's job, but she'll never see this or admit that she seen this awesome analysis of her team. I also feel that this team will be a team that will be feared in the near future once they start to click!
Good analysis!
Great analysis! Appreciate it!
I don’t watch a lot of Basketball content and have never been an avid fan, but I learned more about basketball in this one video than I've learned in the 4 years that I started watching it. Amazing video, ty.
CC needs that stop and pop.🤔👍
Great video ,keep doing content like this!
Hi,..., I "agree" with you..., more video content like this ! ! * Excellent video and very informative..., the more ( info ) the better ! ! "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
yo i appreciate the genuine analysis of the w. i'd love to see more as the season goes on esp. other teams than the fever
That wasvan awesome breakdown and analysis! Thanks!
Good breakdown Josh
Loved this! Would love to see a breakdown of the next Fever game. What worked and what didnt
Please!!
Great video. I've been wondering why Boston stands around sometimes looking confused and you explained it perfectly. She's being asked to play a role she's not used to playing.
Clark needs a midrange jumpshot and crossover handle. That will give a choice between a long two and layup. She can confuse the defence. Right now it's between a 3 and a layup which isn't working much because the moment she enters the paint all the players collapse on her.
She actually does have a midrange, but I think she got too comfortable with the 3's. I believe she does recognize she needs to go back to some stuff she did before because in a pre game interview, she stated that she has some habits from her college game that she needs to work on. I'm pretty sure her coaches on the Fever are telling what she needs to work on.
@@royacfalle1570she’s shown no midrange game in the W.
Teams will happily concede 10 30ft jumpers every night if she’s only making 3 of them.
@@royacfalle1570 CC fan, but she’s definitely not comfortable yet hitting f that mid range push shot or the floater - Smith has a nice mid range tow footed push shot she scores with. CC just need to develop that and she will be able to punish on drives at a much higher rate.
what she needs is some teammates who can actually score, a big who can set a proper screen, and some better plays that can get her open. she doesn't need a midrange shot, she needs space. She needs to work on quickness and endurance. I have no doubt that clark will improve by next season however her teammates seem somewhat unmotivated. The coach need to go
@@royacfalle1570 Fans need to understand the mid range is dead it’s bad shot period! Modern analytics 3’s, layups, Free throws & assists. She doesn’t need a mid range shot & she has one but it’s a less valuable shot which is why she doesn’t take them because it’s better to shoot & miss a 3 than take a mid range shot.
It’s math: 4/12 from 3 (33%) 12 pts vs 6/12 from 2 (50%) 12 pts. As you can see shooting a low percentage from 3 is equal to shooting great from the mid range. Most players are not shooting 50% from the midrange you would be a HOF’er 😂 & she is career 38% from 3 a great percentage. So, she’s the perfect modern analytical player a coaches dream. Shot the 3 ball above avg, pressured the rim finish or get fouled, make Free Throws, and play make get teammates open looks (assist).
It also explains why even though she is shooting below avg on her 3 pt shot she is still averaging more points than any of the other rookies and it’s not on high volume either. She’s averaging 17 pts a game on 30% from 3. What’s going to happen once her 3 pt shot progresses back to her avg 38% or above & the refs actually start calling fouls? She’s going to be a 25 pt + scorer easily just like at Iowa. There’s no need to change anything about her game. Her struggles are greatly exaggerated if you know ball. Her 3 ball is below avg which is because of leg fatigue not hard W defense. She’s missing plenty of good open looks.
Now, she is not going to shoot efficiently from 3 this year IMO because her legs are fried (tired). She will play over near 80 games this year more if they make the playoffs. Her 3 pt shot will be fine next year.
I think she should add a floater which can be equal in value to layup because of the shot blocking abilities of the bigs in the W but she is not adding a midrange shots because the value is not greater than 3 pt shot.
Wow. Can you apply for head coach?? 🙏
Great analysis! Yes, just a few tweaks and they are winning a handful more games. Temi is an essential piece they could use more. This team actually has some good talent! CC needs that mid game agreed. If the team could have made just 50% more of their short floaters and layups this year, they would be 6-5. Subscribed.👍
Woah I absolutely love this. As someone relatively new to basketball this also helps me improve my overall understanding of the game 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great concise analysis!!
You really broke it down to a Science!!
Great breakdown!!
Great breakdown
Great analysis !!!! Subscribed !
HORRIBLE with the layups!!! The rest of her teammates just can NOT make a layup!
They also have trouble catching the ball cleanly. And moving with purpose.
@@RichardIILionheart Those CC passes are NOT always "clean".
@@go2hvn2008
When a ball hits you in the hands, you should catch it.
If Angel was in her position would you blame everything on your teammates still?
the Fever team is soft..they can't hit open shots, they miss a ton of layups.. their defense is suspect at best
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the coaching failure for the Fever.
Thanks fo rthe candid analysis of the game.
Great analysis
Nice to see a clear-headed, astute analysis for a change. You've gained another subscriber. It's clear CC brings a totally new game to town. Hoping that with time, patience, and reps they can pull it together. And oh yeah...Happy Birthday! 👍
thank you 🙏🏾
@@jfeltonn How to subscribe!?
Great video. It’s the fist CC video where someone is actually doing an analysis and breakdown instead of blaming everyone and adding to the drama.
I liked the analysis.. I subscribed!
Me, too.
~ It’s not Aaliyah’s Boston’s game.
What made her the number one overall pick?
Her low post game.
I agree her awareness in this offense is terrible.
However, I also see some bad decision making on the guard play. Both
guards.
Terrible offense.
Not a good fit for Caitlin.
Nor Boston.
Mitchell.
The whole situation is a mess.
Too many talented young players on this team.
Boston is a 6’5 low post scorer who can shoot from mid range.
Clark isn’t used to entry passes, or traditional PG…role.
Better coaching.
Both players look bad in this system.
simple glance at their roster yesterday revealed the biggest thing. inexperience. indiana is basically cleveland after lebron left in 2010. ton of lottery picks, majority of their players have less than 5 years of exp. given reps and good coaching they SHOULD become a great team in a few years. or they could trade some of their talent and move the trajectory along faster, assuming the picks they have turn out to be good that is.
this helps a lot. i can't see all these little things when I watch. and now I can answer critics with what you just said. styles have to be worked on
I learned a LOT from this video!
Has Sides studied what Iowa did offensively, or Golden State. Both of these should have given Sides a jumping off point for the Fever offense. Sides appears unprepared and has not brought in help.
Sides is horrible and weak.
And what "Iowa" did offensively is why Clark is so poor "defensively". Where's the Natty for that great Iowa offense?
@@go2hvn2008 LSU shot nearly 50% from three and South Carolina was one of the greatest teams of all time that’s why she didn’t get a ring
CC needs some practice and instruction on how to move while the defenders constantly doing reach in/shoving fouls. I did see in one game where see would hand check away defender's reach in. A basketball buddy watched the Storm game and counted 18 fouls against CC but only four called. Majority of missed calls were blatant reach in/shoving. As one pundit named it, the WNBA plays as a whole what he calls prison rules basketball.
Yeah well thought through. If I was the Fever coach I'd be running 100 drills a practice on what the other four players should be doing when CC is being double teamed. Have only watched highlights of the games so far though, so I might have to start watching the full ones to see how they're doing. Great breakdown Josh, thanks for sharing!
EXCELLENT BREAK DOWN ON THEIR SKILLS
"1 Coach, 13-27 last year, will not match that this year if they keep her. I suspect at Olympic break is when they will let her go. #2 Use of CC, they need to let her be the team leader and build team around her strengths. #3 Boston has either hit a 2nd year wall or she is way overrated or possibly playing with an injury. She has done nothing. #4 Team chemistry, there is none.
100%🛣️
Typically you don't build your entire team around a rookie. Especially one that is unproven. Clark will probably turn out to be a good player but not a goat type player. Her passing is good and her hustle is good but he defense is bad, she has no mid range and relies too much on the 3 ball. Even with the 3 ball right now the shot is missing more then it's going in. I feel like she's having bad games because she has no other consistent shot. Like when stars in the NBA that can shoot the 3 struggle the great one get their shot going by driving it inside. It's also weird that she has no mid range. Like I rarely see her knock down a jump shot. It's either perimeter mostly or a layup.
SIMPLE: Bball is a team sport. Fever offense is mediocre. Coach Sides hasn't developed screen plays to free CC for logo 3's. Coach doesn't want long 3's, instead prefers long 2's from Caitlyn. CC's passing skills are extraordinary.
very insightful video for someone who doesn't know a bunch about basketball, such as myself lol, thank you!
Thank you for your analysis. With any luck Sides is watching and will implement these changes. But as I see it, it's like watching CC her first 2 years in college.
This was an excellent video, Josh!
Now, can you break down what is going wrong with the Fever defense?
What's wrong with their defense is: Berger, Katie Lou, and even Clark. Stupid Sides lets the best defensive players sit on the bench, Taylor and Saxton.
yeah their defense needs a whole different video lol. thank you for the kind words 🙏🏾
That's easy--Fever has a clueless coach. Caitlin Clark is talented but she can't do it alone. It's a team effort and especially a capable coach is needed to guide her. Sides isn't that coach.
Absolutely top shelf stuff!
Definitely agree with you David, Josh Falton has a great sense for analyzing plays & problems for not only the Fever but I’m sure other bb teams.🙌🏽💕
All of the support players are flat- footed. They move like they don't want to be there. Their coach is the biggest problem.
Away from the ball movement is…….weak.
Excellent analysis. The obvious problem as you mentioned is the horrendous shooting percentage. The other one is the Boston and Nylissa Smith clearly have no idea how to set a screen when they are 3 feet away from the defender they're supposed to be screening.
Boston and Smith's job is to protect the paint, let the damn guards or forwards set the damn screens for the "golden egg". Then all can enjoy Clark STILL missing logo threes.
I doubt seriously that they need to "protect the paint" on offense. Why are you out here commenting on sports something you know nothing about? It sandwich making time.
Thanks for the analysis!
For the past 6 years they have either had the 1st pick (2X), 2nd, 3rd or 4th overall pick in the draft. Three of those players are no longer with the team
So based on that info you can surmise that 1) they don't know who to draft or 2) they ruin players after getting them
Both issue point to the GM and Head Coach are the problem
literally both. they do not draft well, there's clearly no scheme or thought other than "get the highest available pick" going on here. they also have no player development, hell they have anti-player development lol. the GM is an old lady that should be doing bake sales at noon in town square and the coach is a glorified PE teacher.
Agree, Sides and Dunn need to go. Fever should have drafted Kamilla Cardoso instead of Clark.
Wow that makes a lot of sense I learned from this
Nice analysis - I’ve been to several games and have noticed the inefficiency of screens as well but couldn’t articulate it as nicely as you. Also, even though the Maverick lost yesterday (it was a great game), look at those passes from Luca - some were blind passes but he knew where his teammates would be because of trust and instinct (there is a sense of spacing and knowing where to find the gaps).
Excellent analysis sir. CC, inspite of being guarded like none before her, has still managed to tally 200 points and 75 assists faster than any player in league history.
Thanks for sharing this really great analysis. Caitlin needs to improve her left hand as well. Not only to finish layups, but to dribble also. Anyway, I think this team has a really good potential in the years to come. Let's see.
Caitlyn extends her arm guard like it is a weapon. No male player does this in the NBA and they play awesome defense on the dribbler! What is going on there? Isn't this a foul that a good ref would call?
@@justindoud251 , you mean an offensive foul on Caitlin? I wouldn't agree. Defenses are being very physical with her and I believe it's a way she found to protect the ball. NBA point guards are really hard to be pressured because they will beat you one x one and create a bad situation to the defense. That's because they are very fast and extremely skilled with the ball. I think that she can improve in this matter a lot.
@@justindoud251 Luka Doncic does this often
Pick N Roll is one of the simplest and effective offensive play in the game. For some reason Boston cannot run it. Caitlin often has to direct players where to be. Caitlin often is seen telling Sides they are out of place. This team needs to be revamped by next year opener. I would be looking to make trades at the deadline. Boston has value after that not much. I would trade Boston for another athletic big or move up in the draft. This team is not built for CC. They need to build a team that can play her game. Or trade CC and keep this team.
Boston just need time running it with CC. She hasn’t run it much typically and with a passer like CC it’s especially tough when you’re not used to catching the ball on the move, seeing the right spot, and then being able to make a move all at the same time.
Anything CC need to improve on or is it only her teammates that seems to be the problem?
@@jayquan1094 her midrange and then also working with AB so they’re on the same page. AB and CC together have to work on their PNR efficiency.
@@johnnysteelalpha7713 Boston missing 3 straight layups on 1 play is a problem. CC ran the pick n roll at Iowa and was great with Cinzano (good hands) less effective with Steulke who couldn't hang on to the ball, like Boston.
@@tonykegowicz2976 “layups” when you’re on the run and trying to do something in one motion are a lot harder than they look when you’re not used to doing that. The video indicated she’s used to post ups and scoring. Making rim runs is a whole different skill she just needs time working on with CC. AB has great hands, she’s just uncertain what to do in the roller spot with the roll at times and then usually when the pass is coming to her. You have to develop shots off of that pass and in one motion. I believe they’ll get there with practice.
LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU SAID I MENTIONED AS WELL IN MY VID. GREAT ANALYSIS!! You’ve earned a like
Great video and analysis
A big part of the problem is basketball IQ. That has been pointed out since the beginning of the season. The other problem is that moving the ball around isn't an option. The play usually dies as soon as Mitchell or Wheeler touch the ball on a pass. They aren't even looking to pass once they have the rock. Eyes immediately go the floor and they take off. It also doesn't help that they have one of the worst defenses I've ever seen (especially the interior).
Why isn't she putting in Celeste Taylor
Because the coach is a idiot, and she thinks wheeler is good! And Mitchell can hit a 3 but can’t make a layup! And then she won’t pass to Caitlin because she wants to be number 1! Look how good your team was last year with you two as staring guards!
Excellent analysis
Please send this video to Christie Sides and the coaching staff at the Indiana Fever 🤘🏽
She'll still get it Wrong!😂
Coach Sides. Fire Coach Sides and get a coach who will support Caitlin
And who will teach them to play as a TEAM.
Great video!
@@kingskidgirl2 AMEN
ENOUGH about "JUST and EVERYTHING" Clark! It's sickening.
...support Caitlin? You mean the team. Why are you guys so obsessed with her..?
Well done man. Thanks for
This is a great post!!
Please, send this to Sides.
Caitlin is good with Fagbenle because she's fast, Boston is slow and cant catch Clarks passes.
Boston's a more traditional post player as he mentions. They need to work on how they use her during this week's break.
Two players do not make for a TOTAL team effort, PLEASE.
Would love to see an updated video with the more recent games!!
1. Their coach sucks
2. The players don't play defense
3. They refuse to protect thier best player from constant and blatant cheap shots
4. Their coach sucks
5. The team owner is an idiot for keeping coach that sucks.
6. GM sucks for keeping coach that sucks.
7. Their coach sucks.
I hear you but what about their coach?
Clark is NOT their best player.
1st time viewer here. I loved the commentary and key points. This video and your insights need to be sent to the Indiana Fever and Christie Sides. I’m wondering if Coach Sides, Is even realizing these things, and looking at them rather than continuing to try to fine tune in alot of areas that are not doing anything, and in some games actually making things worse. I could see by the 5th game, that things hadn’t changed, and that there were so many wrong things going on. I had been seeing so many flaws, since that 5th game, And I began to realize that teams were immediately picking up on it as well and boxing Clark out. Teams immediately began to put strategy together, double and tripling up on Caitlin, knowing that Christie is not doing anything to change it, and has not been consistent in her coaching. As a Fever fan it was very disappointing Seeing these flaws and Failures develop and having to gruel through each and every game. It’s not the players fault because they are being told what to do by Coach Sides and reprimanded if they do not follow through. There is so much talent on the Fever. It is just crazy, but it is not being utilized whatsoever. This may sound really bad, but the truth is that if you had a situation where there was no coach at all, and the players had to make their own decisions, they would be far better off, and likely would win more games. You can clearly see the difference out there with WNBA teams that don’t even have close to the Fever talent but yet they’re more consistent and wins. This just goes to show that coaching really does make a difference, and when as an Organization you’re handed the keys to The Pot of Gold and you throw it down the toilet, you just create a situation of Great and Painful Fan disapointment.
Nope, that "Pot of Gold" is proving to be less than a good fit for this team.
@@go2hvn2008 I strongly disagree with you. Thanks for your opinion nonetheless
One of the best analysis I seen in some time.
🙏🏾
Thanks for all the NBA clips
Why does everyone act like all CC'S teammates have never played basketball before. They should already know all this stuff. Professionals? Clearly not.
The only other explanation could be...CHRISTIE SIDES
Right! Boston is a 2x NC and the WNBA Roomie of the year last year.CC needs to develop additional skills.
Add Clark to your synopsis, she is no where near a professional.
@@go2hvn2008 No, no, I don't believe I will.
finally some real analytical takes on Clark and the fever! I appreciate what you are doing here!
Great analysis! I recommend omitting or replacing "very," "insane," and "anyways."
Thanks for the analysis and breaking it down for us. I kept saying that the Coach needs to settle on the Starting 5 because CC and the Team have to jell before they can be successful, along with being comfortable for CC to sink those 3's like we saw her do at Iowa. Then, the Indiana Fever can be a contender.
Josh how do I get you coaching the Fever?
Boston and Clark, the entire team should be watching Stockton and Malone - all day every day, over and over.. If they were smart they'd bring Stockton to coach Caitlin... if Caitlin were smart she'd move to portland during the summer and workout with Stockton... anyone who thinks Caitlin isn't the second coming of Stockon doesn't have eyes to see
Who is Stockton? Personally, I'd rather see another Candance Parker as the "second coming".
Awesome job sir !
