@@DavidStewart-v5e and what does Wallace bring, stands in the corner the whole game shoots 25% from the field. Hull played good D and scored on reverse when she was taken out.
Wheeler should not be in same time as CC. That’s best time to rest CC. When Wheeler is in CC rarely touches the ball and most of the time CC is standing on the sides!
Christie Sides has it out for Caitlin taking her out when she is getting started and even bringing two of her players from her assistance days doesn’t help her much if they are not good
Totally agree! Wallace stinks as a professional basketball player. EW is literally a madhouse on wheels, chaos dribbling running down the shot clock. Fever, please explain why you drafted Celeste Taylor. Sides is still a deer in the headlights, where was she and the challenge when CC was mugged on that fast break layup?
The dead give away that Sides is terrible at coaching is, Clark scores a 3 and then just seconds later steals the ball and scores a lay up and Sides calls a timeout, who on Gods green earth calls a timeout when their team has momentum. Then she starts Wallace who can't hit the side of a barn, even being 1 foot away. Indiana needs to cash Wheeler out and send her packing by Olympic break. Mitchell needs to be talked to about playing as a teammate and if she doesn't understand that, then have her warm the bench for a few games. It is time to play Hull over Wallace and then substitute Taylor for Hull and try to use Saxton for short spurts to get her up to speed.
yeah, when destini henderson was on the team her rookie year i wanted indiana to trade mitchell so destini could find her groove both as a passer and scorer. not a fan of mitchells game. i love how hull has blossomed as a player on both ends of the floor.
I've been saying this! For some reason Hull brings a different side out of the team including Clark. Though they are different, I feel Lexie brings that Kate Martin solid defense, money shots, and hype man type energy.
If it was Katie Lou she could have made those shots. Katie Lou gets going after a few shots. Caitlin's assists were wasted on Wallace. She could have had tripple double.
@@tingmei884 Grace didn't really impress me so far but she seemed really nervous (afraid to make a mistake). Plus, she could shoot 20% and be shooting better than Wallace (besides last game).
Kelsey Mitchell is MUCH better with Clark at point. Caitlin seems to understand Mitchell's game and finds her in spots where she has an opening to drive or shoot. Mitchell is passing more. Same with Boston. The timing of Clark's passes is making it much easier for Boston to score. Wheeler doesn't have the same ability to sync up with the offensive stars. You said it, rhythm. When Wheeler comes in, the pistons start to misfire. This is why I am still a Sides skeptic. If she had played a role in giving Clark the keys to the offense, why does she sabotage it by playing Wheeler so much? This is just one example.
Wheeler needs to go. I agree, she should never be on the court with Clark. Her contract makes it difficult to trade her so 5 min break for Caitlin should be the most time she sees. Hull needs more minutes to develop a chemestry with the starters. She’s probably the best defender on the team.
C'mon dude, Sides is doing better? No way. This team is still struggling with fundamentals. I think the uproar from fans over Boston and Smith's inability to set effective screens has more to do with better screens against Chicago than what the coaching staff accomplished. The Fever don't follow shots, don't box out, and don't crash boards. When any point guard not named Magic, gets as many rebounds as Clark does, means you're either coaching it or letting it happen. Wins against Atlanta and Washington are "get right" opportunities. And Chicago, with their roster are just underachieving and may have to replace Weatherspoon. Let's hold the celebrations and accolades until the Fever defeat a worthy opponent.
I am amazed at how much content you can put out. Because of my niche, It is usually a week or more between videos I post. Happy that you are gaining so much success. Keep up the great work! Clark, Wheeler, and Mitchell on the court at the same time should NEVER happen. When Sides put that lineup in, it seems like the number of screens and assists dropped down to NIL.
Katie Lou can hit the 3's at a good clip. Every other team seems to have a player that gets open 3's from kick outs and passing that hit consistently. CC is never going to be not guarded. Mitchell can do it, but she is a live wire, elite street player, not really a team player type. Unless there was a compelling reason not to have her in the starting five, she would be on it. She reminds me (a little) of Danny Ainge (Bird era Celtics). He was consistent on 3's and every so often he was a machine.
Erica Wheeler should only play to give CC rest, maybe 6 to 8 minutes a game? It’s not even that she’s a bad player, she just doesn’t play well with Clark. After Fagbenle comes back, I think Katie Lou Samuelson should start and Kristy Wallace shouldn’t play at all.
I know some people may not rate Katie Lou. But she has been important. She played 13 minutes and scored 0 points tonight. But those 13 minutes were 13 minutes of rest for Boston and Smith. To me that has a lot of value. You can't expect them to play 40 minutes. Especially since Boston had a bit of foul trouble tonight.
They were icing everyone the whole time Samuelson was in. Mitchell hero ball and Boston only inside on the inside out. They were icing Clark so she couldn't hit Samuelson. I know people are going to say "they won, you are never happy" but the Mystic didn't play very well and were missing a lot of easy shots. The Mystics have two wins on the season. They are terrible and were in it most of the game. The Fever are playing better and a lot these issues have improved but they are still prevalent.
Yeah Wallace needs to Sit. Whne CC is playing fast like these last 2 games teams kinda dont know what to do. Sides should Have CC, Lexi Hull, Mitchell,Taylor and Boston. Starting they can play fast and open up other teams. And Hull can move quick, Play D and is a good shot. I wish they grabbed Cizano before she went over seas.
Mitchell isnt at all trying to give up leadership of the team She isnt allowing Clark to shine as 🌞 aa she is ~ Mitchell hardly ever passes the 🏀 to Clark N its obvious to see On several occassions Clark is calling for the ball Only to not get it She is clearly frustrated You can see it It shows Wheeler is super quick In transition But in halfcourt she is mighty mouse in s dessert 👍🏿🤣
Sides has promised and continues to deliver minutes to Wallace and Wheeler, this team right now good enough to be playoffs bound but Sides, Wallace and Wheeler will guarantee it will be a short run.
Fever have the worst D in the W. They are winning games vs the worst teams by shooting a high percentage on offense. This is a recipe for disaster. They need Hull in more and they need the bigs to kick it out when the D collapses. I get annoyed when Smith and Boston have the ball down low with 3 defenders around them and they refuse to kick it out. Mystics got way too many easy buckets tonight.
Typical woman sadly. Self assessment is necessary to get better. Players don’t need to fit her shitty no movement no passing system of having her favorite pet go iso😂 She needs a new game plan to take advantage of the roster. These ladies run up the court never expecting a pass to come lmao. So many botched plays by bad positioning.
Sides is a bit stubborn and to be honest, I don't think she realizes yet that CC is her best point guard, not Mitchell. I don't think Mitchell realizes it either. That's on the coach. And whatever happened to CC's long bomb that she was known for and so successful with at Iowa? Sides has made it disappear. CC can shoot it just as well in the pros as in college. Sides is doing better but unless she gets a whole lot better I think she needs to be replaced. There have to be better coaches that would love to coach Caitlyn Clark.
I think she does, but there's probably a bit of a power struggle there - not ready to hand the keys to CC. She doesn't even bother to tell Mitchell to share the ball.
@@Joshua-me1wi Sides lied at the post-game tonight saying that Mitchell is always looking for the open player to pass to. I don't know what game or film Sides is watching.
Playing Grace Berger has Two Big Pluses; she is a solid mid range scorer who knows when not to shoot And, yes it is a Big And, Berger played defense for Kevin McGuff.
I agree. She would be in my starting 5 unless there was a compelling reason not to do so. She reminds me of Danny Ainge with the Bird era Celtics. Ainge was pretty reliable on 3's and every so often would be a machine.
The positive. The fever will make the playoffs if they can keep beating the bottom half of the league. The negative. They’re losing by roughly 17 pts a game against the top half of the league.
I think the wind will come against the Elite teams of the Wnba now for reality it will not be easy The Fever cannot be a one and done on the offensive side of the game Boston gets destroyed by Brianna Stewart it's not even close This next stretch of 5 away games will be very telling the Fever can win against Atlanta and Chicago then the Mercury ,Storm and Vegas Aces if they win all these games they will have reached being 500 (a month ago who would of thought that was possible )have to say I truly did not but am smiling as I type this Watch Out Wnba Here come The Fever and the 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark Lets Go Fever !!!!!
I watched the game on league pass and kept thinking along the way "why are the Fever not ahead by 20?". The Mystics were horrible but the Fever kept letting them come back and blowing nice leads that should have put the game away in the 3rd quarter. Part of it had to do with Wallace and Wheeler, but there were times when the whole team still looked discombobulated. The screens are still clumsy at times, not getting CC good 3 looks. Also NS still refuses to pass when CC is cutting to basket wide open. I think NS needs to be traded, she obviously hates CC and is not really part of this team mentally -- her heart is not in it. There were also way too many open 3 looks given to Karlie S. and Atkins -- this a coaching error. It should have been a blow out for the Fever.
Because the talent pool for women's basketball is very shallow. There aren't a lot of women even attempting to go pro and an even smaller amount that should actually be there. There are only 12 teams in the league and more than half have no shot. There just isn't enough talent.
I have heard she is friends with her players. Doesnt work like that lol. And a good coach doesnt have favorites. This league is a joke and they have been subsidized so long they have lost touch with reality.
30 seconds in and I’m going to guess Kristy Wallace. “She needs to go, rude, Sehcority!” CC would of had 4 assists on open corner three to Wallace. My second guess is Erica Wheeler. Both of these women are only playing for the paycheck. I’m sure in the locker room after a loss they are like. “Okay, where are going to eat?”
She took her best most clutch player out of the game with minutes left in a close game with the Mercury. If it walks and quacks like a duck... it almost certainly is... this woman has been ORDERED to be an obstacle to Caitlin Clark. Period.
Their better player has a bad foot and has been out for weeks. Wallace can play a little defense and is normally a sub. Nobody on the bench is any better. The bench is terrible. There are two players that can shoot off the bench but thats it noxdefense.
I'm hoping that Sides is playing the whole team, so that the whole team feels that they had a hand in the win and not just Clark changing the outlook and outcome of the team. If they all feel that they have a hand in their success, there will be peace and less envy of C.Clark, and the team will eventually rally around Clark and the team will become elite.
Sides wants the scoring spread around, and does not seem to want CC be the scorimg cornerstone of the team. I wonder if it is to keep the peace with egos on the team. It is a missed scoring opportunity not getting her more shots though. Also, don't know if CC fans will continue to sell out stadium just to see her pass the ball and take 10 shots a game, especially if the team misses the shots.
In the previous game against the Sky Sam had over 20 minutes and Hull had around 15. During that time is when the fever had stops, the ball moved effectively creating open looks and the Fever won convincingly. Why not replay a winning formula? Nope, Sides is determined to beat that square peg into the round hole.
Wallace, wheeler, Saxton need to be traded/dropped. Berger and Taylor need to see if they fit in this team and take over some Minutes on the floor. Hull is worth keeping for 3 & D
At Iowa CC had girls who could hit the open shot and as a result she had many triple doubles. Indiana is a pro team that has players who can't hit a wide open shot and that is on the coach to correct. As they have shot better CC is getting more open looks and it is also opening up the post for AB to do her damage. When Indiana replaces their outside shooters who can't shoot they will become a dangerous team. Question is will Coach Sides ever make the changes needed to open things up?
Wheeler actually had a decent game tonight. She did. But are we going to change up the lineup that finishes every game? Hull closed the last game. And Wheeler tonight. Will Berger close the next one? I think we want to see some consistency with the rotations.
A big plus for The Fever, they are playing good ball with Temi out for a few weeks. Temi is a high percentage 2 point scorer and good foul shooter, she was a strong college rebounder and is a good rebounder in the pros, plus Temi is a low turnover player.
I feel that this team is improving because of the efforts of the players to improve and despite the lack of good coaching. There is enough talent on the team for that to happen, up to a point, but to really excel as a team and for player's talents to be optimized, you do need good coaching. This team's progress will stall out at some point without better leadership and training and coaching. I almost wish they had stayed really bad, as that would have assured the coaches' firing. I hope that having marginal success doesn't result in her staying. And even if she is fired, I'm not confident in the front office being smart enough to find the right coach.
I'm from Canada..I never watched the Women's League before Caitlin C czmd along. She is absolutely exciting, but that Coach has to go. She is not Capable of how to deal with that amount of talent.
Yes. Mitchell,Wheeler,& Wallace SHOULD GO! Ciatlin is great with other guard Shooters. Boston,Smith,& Samuelsonn now are just Flourishing playing Caitlin's style. Need some guard changes and JUST FIRE THE COACH & GM PLEASE. We all know Coach Bluder is coming anyways...
WARNING TO THE INDIANA FEVER: Celeste Taylor is on your roster. You are making a huge mistake not giving her an opportunity to play. She will be all WNBA defense with your team or whom ever gives her the chance to play. She won't be on your roster next season because Golden State (expansion draft) will likely pick her up. The team made another big mistake by not retaining Alana Smith in 2022. She has blossomed to be a great player in all phases of the game. If Smith was on this team now, you would be a championship contender.
After watching the Fever blow a game they should have won against the Sky I beg to differ re Christie Sides improvement. 100% agree Fever need to dump Atlanta Dream cohort: Wallace, Wheeler AND Sides
WHY DRAFT CELESTE TAYLOR IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO PLAY HER? I would be so depressed and bummed sitting on the bench game after game. What is Side’s reasoning for keeping Taylor on the bench? She's supposed to be a great defensive player SO PUT HER IN THE DAMN GAME!!! WTF????!!!!
Celeste Taylor and Grace Berger.... both full of energy, great defense, above average shooting, and theyre both sitting on the bench... it makes no sense.
You know now that Wheeler scored 9 points they going be like “I’m in my stride now” “your right, we just need to get your confidence up so let’s put in the starting line up.”😂😂😂
that's why C. Taylor should play before Wallace
They need to at least see what she can do (beside three minutes of garbage time which actually looked really good).
Hull scores a reverse layup then sits on the bench for the rest of the game.
Hull was benched for the inability to be strong enough on defense or the boards
@@DavidStewart-v5e and what does Wallace bring, stands in the corner the whole game shoots 25% from the field. Hull played good D and scored on reverse when she was taken out.
@@DavidStewart-v5enah, hull hustles hard on defense, it's her offense that struggles at times.
Celeste Taylor can hit 40%+ from 3and has better defense. All acc and big ten defender

Yes, not drafting Kate was a mistake, but I'm sure it was not her decision to make.
That is not the coach's decision. It is a GM's decision.

Both of these women are only playing for the paycheck. I’m sure in the locker room after a loss they are like. “Okay, where are going to eat?”
excellent analysis as always
She took her best most clutch player out of the game with minutes left in a close game with the Mercury. If it walks and quacks like a duck... it almost certainly is... this woman has been ORDERED to be an obstacle to Caitlin Clark. Period.
Their better player has a bad foot and has been out for weeks. Wallace can play a little defense and is normally a sub. Nobody on the bench is any better. The bench is terrible. There are two players that can shoot off the bench but thats it noxdefense.
I'm hoping that Sides is playing the whole team, so that the whole team feels that they had a hand in the win and not just Clark changing the outlook and outcome of the team. If they all feel that they have a hand in their success, there will be peace and less envy of C.Clark, and the team will eventually rally around Clark and the team will become elite.
Sides wants the scoring spread around, and does not seem to want CC be the scorimg cornerstone of the team. I wonder if it is to keep the peace with egos on the team. It is a missed scoring opportunity not getting her more shots though. Also, don't know if CC fans will continue to sell out stadium just to see her pass the ball and take 10 shots a game, especially if the team misses the shots.
I finally 100 percent agree with you!
Totally agree!!
Gonna get 10k subs before you know it 🎉 Major props, great to see such fast growth
In the previous game against the Sky Sam had over 20 minutes and Hull had around 15. During that time is when the fever had stops, the ball moved effectively creating open looks and the Fever won convincingly. Why not replay a winning formula? Nope, Sides is determined to beat that square peg into the round hole.
Wallace, wheeler, Saxton need to be traded/dropped. Berger and Taylor need to see if they fit in this team and take over some Minutes on the floor. Hull is worth keeping for 3 & D
Sides needs to go - it's already been too many poorly coached games!
At Iowa CC had girls who could hit the open shot and as a result she had many triple doubles. Indiana is a pro team that has players who can't hit a wide open shot and that is on the coach to correct. As they have shot better CC is getting more open looks and it is also opening up the post for AB to do her damage. When Indiana replaces their outside shooters who can't shoot they will become a dangerous team. Question is will Coach Sides ever make the changes needed to open things up?
Wheeler actually had a decent game tonight. She did. But are we going to change up the lineup that finishes every game? Hull closed the last game. And Wheeler tonight. Will Berger close the next one?
I think we want to see some consistency with the rotations.
A big plus for The Fever, they are playing good ball with Temi out for a few weeks. Temi is a high percentage 2 point scorer and good foul shooter, she was a strong college rebounder and is a good rebounder in the pros, plus Temi is a low turnover player.
Kate Martin was available when the Fever made their pick at #15
I feel that this team is improving because of the efforts of the players to improve and despite the lack of good coaching. There is enough talent on the team for that to happen, up to a point, but to really excel as a team and for player's talents to be optimized, you do need good coaching. This team's progress will stall out at some point without better leadership and training and coaching. I almost wish they had stayed really bad, as that would have assured the coaches' firing. I hope that having marginal success doesn't result in her staying. And even if she is fired, I'm not confident in the front office being smart enough to find the right coach.
I'm from Canada..I never watched the Women's League before Caitlin C czmd along. She is absolutely exciting, but that Coach has to go. She is not Capable of how to deal with that amount of talent.
Yes. Mitchell,Wheeler,& Wallace SHOULD GO! Ciatlin is great with other guard Shooters. Boston,Smith,& Samuelsonn now are just Flourishing playing Caitlin's style. Need some guard changes and JUST FIRE THE COACH & GM PLEASE. We all know Coach Bluder is coming anyways...
Instead of saying Sides is doing better can we say she’s been less terrible 😂
Seriously, time to take those two training wheels off.
Look at the difference in caitlins efficiency when wheeler is on and off the court
WARNING TO THE INDIANA FEVER:
Celeste Taylor is on your roster. You are making a huge mistake not giving her an opportunity to play.
She will be all WNBA defense with your team or whom ever gives her the chance to play.
She won't be on your roster next season because Golden State (expansion draft) will likely pick her up.
The team made another big mistake by not retaining Alana Smith in 2022.
She has blossomed to be a great player in all phases of the game.
If Smith was on this team now, you would be a championship contender.
Love the channel!!!
After watching the Fever blow a game they should have won against the Sky I beg to differ re Christie Sides improvement. 100% agree Fever need to dump Atlanta Dream cohort: Wallace, Wheeler AND Sides
If this was a men’s team they’d be benched or traded without hesitation.
I could not find anybody who would cover this part of the game. These girls don't help at all. They should have had that Hull women instead.
Lexie Hull needs a chance at least give her some time
Does anyone know what he means when he says GOY shots? he says it a lot. Im assuming its like ISO, but idk i've never heard that.
I’m liking the new content better then 2k rn
If the season ended today, the fever would be in the playoffs...they are on a 4 game winning streak...
Sides on nepotism issues
Doing better ? You mean letting Caitlin control the game from point she had no choice her no offense / defense stunk up the place .
Wheeler made some pretty good shots that game. Agree on Wallace though
Clark is a solid help defender.
Wheeler gets paid $200k are they really going to bench and not play her?
WHY DRAFT CELESTE TAYLOR IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO PLAY HER? I would be so depressed and bummed sitting on the bench game after game. What is Side’s reasoning for keeping Taylor on the bench? She's supposed to be a great defensive player SO PUT HER IN THE DAMN GAME!!! WTF????!!!!
She's a rookie. I think she needs more minutes vs the better guards.
Celeste Taylor and Grace Berger.... both full of energy, great defense, above average shooting, and theyre both sitting on the bench... it makes no sense.
and Sides complain's constantly about defense. dont get it.
Wallace and Wheeler only guards that can play perimeter defense, that’s crucial in the last 5 minutes of the game. CC is not clutch in the WNBA.
Once Temi is back in I doubt they will use Wallace as much as they are doing now
Wallace is there so that they don't get run over on defense. Wheeler is there to give Mitchell rest.
When CC is sitting I would be a lot, A LOT, more comfortable if Grace Berger played the point.
Mick! You always mention Kelsey shooting GOI's? What are those; I'm new to basketball.
Imagine if the Fever had Alyssa Clark for their fifth
You know now that Wheeler scored 9 points they going be like “I’m in my stride now” “your right, we just need to get your confidence up so let’s put in the starting line up.”😂😂😂
Why can’t Caitlin get 30 and get a fever win?
Hopefully when Temi comes back it cuts into W and W's playing time.
Mick, Yes, a huge issue !!!!!!!!
Every video this guy upload is about Caitlin Clark. Sheesh …
Start Lexie Hull
Wheeler is fine coming off the bench from time to time
