Did anyone else notice when Caitlin and Edwards arms locked up, it looks like Carter gently grabs Caitlin to prevent her from potentially hitting the ground, and then separated Edwards and diffused the situation? Shout-out to Chennedy Carter for the good sportsmanship!!
Yeah, I give her props for that. Teresa Weatherspoon said that Chennedy learned her lesson after that incident with Caitlin, and I guess she really did learn from it.
I think most of the Sky don’t want to be the bully’s or villains. Seeing how Chennedy Carter is playing and her mannerisms playing Caitlin yesterday. Carter even held Clark from falling after the arm hook foul. Carter looks like she doesn’t want the bad attention. Carter likely don’t want to be kick out of league due to her history. Even Mabrey in presser didn’t want to talk about the “rivalry”.
I have to agree on Chennedy Carter. She has so much talent and ability, but seems to have had some bad coaching/ leadership in her career. And I also agree. she doesn't want bad attention, she is just easily influenced by others. Carter needs to play Carters game.
@@GetsumJ Bad attention is NEVER a good thing and she found out after the Flagrant foul on CC. Nobody wants bad publicity if they want sponsorships. WNBA players need sponsorships to live a life of luxury and without sponsorships, they will live an upper middle class life, but not live in wealth.
@@GetsumJ Oh well . Tell number 5 to chill out and just hoop. Some people just want to hoop and not be in WWE/Love and HipHop meet the Kardashian atmosphere. 🤣🤣
No one wants the bully tag, they want to play hard physical basketball(huge difference). You do know Carter came into the league as a 1st round pick. Very talented but serious anger issues made her lose her spot with both the Sparks & the Dream. Hope she grows up cos her game with focus is fire.
The fever won 32.5% of their games last season, they’ve won 33.3% of their games this season. The fever aren’t any good but might still make the playoffs because there’s so many bad teams this year. They have to beat these bad teams and they’re almost guaranteed a playoff spot since 8 teams make it.
I don’t think the sky got worse with Reese, I just think the backcourt are inconsistent it starts with Marina Mabrey and Chennedy Carter. They don’t make 3s
@@_M.... that’s DEFINITELY not the case. The offense was being ran thru her and they lacked chemistry. As they continue to gel they continue to prosper
You only get Mabrey if you give up Mitchell, and Mitchell to Mabrey would be a downgrade. The only thing the Fever need is more time together. They’re winning games without Temi, who will have to fight Nalyssa Smith to get her starting spot back when she returns from injury, but those 2 along with Boston make a dominant front court. K Mitch will be K Mitch every single game, Katie Lou is guaranteed to get 2-3 open looks on any given night and if Caitlin Clark isn’t dropping 20+ herself she’s drawing defenders and dishing the ball to the open hooper and getting her mates above 20. They’ll be devious in the future
@@bjgray7954 that’s just a matchup dream I’d like to see. Mitchell is great I love her, but she plays too much hero ball. Mabrey is a smart player and a team first player. And Temi is my favorite player so I’m in 100% agreement on that one.
@@bjgray7954 Yeah beacause that streaking Fagbelne and those long passes, is fools gold. She can run but she is not the best finisher. Those passes are go to be off the mark or the defense will be there or recover they'll just be wasted positions too much of the time.
Angel Reese's offensive game is pretty much jumping into the chest of a defender and throwing the ball in the air. I wouldn't even call it a shot. There are arms and legs flying in every direction trying to make contact with somebody so she can go to the line. In the second half of the Indiana game, the officials weren't giving her that call and she scored zero for the longest time and you could see the frustration growing. I wish the rest of the officials would pick up on this because as someone watching the game its infuriating to see defenders penalized for standing still with their arms up.
Reese is good on defense? 5 fouls, 1 flagrant, grabbed 2 offensive rebounds and missed both put-backs? And when do you see her get back on defense? Always the last one back. Yesterday, she had a clear open perimeter shot at the top of the key and was afraid to shoot it, so she passed it. And when I say clear, wasn't another player close. She spends too much time telling people she's a superstar, and almost no time actually trying to be one.
She’s versatile on defense and has really quick hands. I can’t fault her there. Now her rim protection needs work. But other than that she’s a good defender
@@deontecallaway4026She can’t jump but is great at pushing the other girls out of the way for positioning which isn’t called too often in the wnba. The refs know that most of the game is played 8ft and below that they have to let the women push and flail away at each other or everyone would foul out.
Fouling doesn’t mean you aren’t good on defense, tbh if you aren’t fouling it normally means you aren’t competing on defense, especially as a big. She’s one of the better defenders in the league at her position.
The recent new starting lineup is definitely a plus. The string of losses is due to lack of buckets from the field. Can't rely so heavily in the paint now that the refs have shown they are too biased with the whistle against Chicago.
I’m an Angel Reese fan, but one thing I have to say that’s pretty hilarious is that the Fever didn’t even bother guarding her when she had an open shot on the perimeter, lol. I wanted her to shoot the three towards the end of the game because nobody thought she would and there wasn’t enough time to come back and win the game anyway.
I remember she put out a video shooting 3s and was good at it in the video and said I am ready for the WNBA. but i have not seen a 3 from her yet, It is different when your playing the game and people are blocking you
In all of Reese's four years of college, she made 5 of 32 attempts. Not only does she not shoot 3's, but she can't. 15.6% from the three. 0% so far in the WNBA.
You really don't give Clark a lot of credit for being good enough to break through defenses: she's been guarded by the top three teams from the last year record. Liberty, Aces, and the Sun. Then they also played vs Seattle twice. Clark has been able to go and produce results and get her own shots off regardless of her matchup: she's a really good player and can do things with the ball. She'd be better with a different coach. Sky can't defend Clark--nobody on that team really does anything to her.
I do agree they definitely need more talent on the team, they have mostly rookies. I’m looking at a turn around just glad to be a part of the WNBA and supporting Angel Reese Cardoza every step of the way. Go ladies and go Sky
It’s not talent. It’s a coaching issue. The coach actually made a change and they played a lot stronger than the first half compared to other games. She needs to make a few more changes/adjustments when Chicago sky will be fine
I totally agree with your observations. When i look at the standings though, many teams are struggling: Atlanta Dream -500(6&6),LV Aces - 500(6&6), LA Sparks(4&10),Dallas Wings(3&9). Like you, Sky are crying out for proven talent. This is a very flawed roster. Their defensive lapses are getting too frequent & hopeless. Carter as a starter will always be in foul trouble.
I think Witherspoon is coaching them to be dirty. At first, I thought it was just how Reese played, but the more I watch of them, most of the players push in the back for position and seem to want to be the "Bad Boys " of the league.
Yes, the Sky is a work in progress. There are players worth keeping and building around. And, there are players that should be traded or released…key among them is Marina Mabrey. She simply can not play defense.
It’s a coaching issue. The coach of the Chicago sky need to make a few more adjustment. Just like the adjustment she made for this game and he had a strong start. Also keep in mind that you do have a player out on injured reserved.
Mabrey is overrated, Elizabeth Williams is hurt, Angel and Kamilla are too raw to be elite players, Dana Evans is too small and Diamond Deshields has completely fallen off. It’s gonna be a tough season for Chicago. 🤣
@@derrickmiller2127 I said her and Kamilla are too raw. Sure they can have good games and fill the stat sheet but they aren’t stars that can lead a team to wins. If the vets don’t lead Angel and Kamilla won’t make a big difference.

Kamilla has the potential but unlike Angel she has yet to have a big game or power the team to a win. The only win Kamilla took part of was vs Washington where she scored 2 points.
@@daivigomes2084 The team almost lives and dies by Mabrey’s ability to score and apparently to hit free throws since she missed clutch free throws in tight games multiple times. But if the guards can’t contribute and help carry the team, Angel and Kamilla will not bail you out cause they aren’t #1 option type scorers. Mabrey, Evans and Deshields have to play better for the team to win, or Angel and Kamilla gotta start knocking down jumpers and takeover which likely won’t happen.
Now what? Thing is Chicago was supposed to be bad. They lost 4 starters and have a new coach. Indiana has three returning starters and lost about ten games last year by less then 7 points and added the college player of the year to add to last year’s rookie of the year.
The Sky's offense flows and scores better when Reece isn't on the floor! Need to run offense through Cardoso,Carter and Mabrey! Bring Reese off the bench as part of 2nd team!! You'll see and thank me later!!😂
Reese always insisting to play in the paint to get her rebounds is taking away from Cardosa's game. Cardosa should always be the one in the paint, not Reese.
First thing, the Sky are mislead by what a physical game is and a acceptable play gam e iks. Basketball is not for banging heads around. It is not for taking hard falls. Physical is being in shape for full court pacing. It is for finesse movements without running over a opponent. For the SKY flagrant should be upgraded to assault with the purpose of permanent punch drunk players as you would witness with older boxers that have been beat the ----- of.
I think the sky were picked to be near the bottom of the league. So this isn’t really that surprising. It was more surprising that they started off the season so well.
CC in their head's rent free. One play had the Sky guarding CC in the paint witb all 5 player's. What does CC do panic, no. She passed the rock and a 3 pointer made by teammate.
She needs to get over the fact she isn't any better than she is.And that what she thinks Clark has taken from her is really her limited skills and willing to put in the work in to achieve more of herself.As long as she is worried about Clark she will never get better.
🏀ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 🏀Caitlin Clark should easily be Rookie Of The Year. Caitlin's current WNBA status average so far this year : 16.2 ( PTS ) , 6.6 ( AST ),5.4 ( DRB ) , 1.3 ( STL ) , 5.2 ( TOV ). She is a Excellent passer , She has double coverage on her most of the time which actually frees up at least one of her teammates , She is fast and quick just as good at making those two pointers as well as the three pointers. The BONUS IS " CC has a HUGE FAN Base who Love Her :)
Remember Cardosa was picked 3 and she’s been injured, I think they took Angel at 7 was for popularity and she doesn’t have good defense like Cardosa. Cardosa is the better player, she definitely a defensive player
@@mr6688 The Sky. They are not winning because of the lack of hustle. What game are you watching? Clark picked them apart because of the lack of hustle. This entire video talks about the lack of defense, which is 90% hustle.
They need a good shooter/passer PG to open up things. Right now you just stalk Mabry, make Reese/Cardoza take longer layups and limit defensive rebounds and you’re probably gonna win. Carter is good but only in spurts because she wears herself TF out lol
Will you please compile a video of the moments of a player hitting another player in the head on a lay-up similar to what Angel Reese did to Caitlin Clark? (you can include the NBA if you want.) I truly do not believe that type of play happens often but am willing to be proven wrong.
U dont watch the nba then. It literally happens like once a game..... i dont even watch the nba and i kno it happens often 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 stop being softer than baby 💩
@@jordhuga271 I m pretty sure because Angel is going to make a lot of money. She already has a lot of endorsements but one thing she will never win again is that ring that Clark can only wish that she had.
@@soccergoal4090 Hopefully your girl is smart enough to not sour potential new viewers so they all can. The problem is not talent, it is her lack of class and poise. She comes across poorly and it will be reflected in her future potential to earn.
The Sky might not have to be at .500 in order to make the playoffs rn they are just 1 game behind the Fever for that 8th spot. Their coach TSpoon says they are still figuring things out. If they do and start winning some games like the Fever is winning now they might make the playoffs. They are only 13 games in there's still a lot of basketball to be played Cardoso could start to get better as they keep playing and she starts geling with her team you never know too early to tell.
Nah...they ain't worse than I thought. Look...teams at the professional level fail not because of lack of raw talent. They fail because of failure to conceal as a team. Remember before the season started...and a rookie decided that a Barbie get together was more important than a team practice ...what message did that send?
The sky aren’t good right now, but they are two players away. If they get the number 1 pick and get Bueckers or flau’jay they’ll be trouble. They already have the bigs.
I like Reese and Cardoso is just getting used to the WNBA game. Two rookies on one team in a major capacity is going to cause problems. It’s like Boston who is in her second year. She is finally getting into her own space and playing with a rookie guard is no different. The Fever are coming into their own and will only get better ❤️🩹
Angel’s game is too limited offensively. The fact that they are among one of the best rebounding teams in the league is the main reason their losses haven’t resulted in blowouts. One of the commentators calling the game basically said the same thing yesterday. Angel and the rest of the team need to work on fundamental basketball skills because all the missed layups and traveling calls were ridiculous. Come on ladies, once again we have to be reminded that there are good players sitting at home because in the W there are limited spots. We suppose to have higher expectations for you ladies because you are professional basketball players and your skill set should reflect that on the court.🤔
People that act poorly like AR either comes from a bitter single-mom house or they're trying to get the approval of the popular mean girls around them. AR better look at Sha'Carrie Richardson, learn how to change her arc from a villain, and walk the monomyth.
The Sky are a fun team to watch, but they aren't a good team this year because they don't have a good PG. People underestimate the importance of a good PG. A good PG spreads the points around to all the players which makes your team harder to defend. That is why Aces are struggling right now, their PG is out. Mabrey is a good player & shooter, but she is not good at facilitating & passing the ball to ensure the points are spread among the different players on the team. And that is why Chennedy Carter is doing so well, because she can create her own shots. The fact that Reese had more assists than Mabrey shows that Mabrey is not good at that facilitator role.
Mabrey is just doing what she’s told, they have no choice because she handles the ball better than most on her team. She also has the best shooting, so I think they have just said screw it and allow her to have the ball and control most possessions. I personally think Mabrey would be an assassin with a passer like Clark setting her up.
@@Theamericanglassguy I agree. Mabrey is a great player, she's just not a PG. I have noticed how important having a good PG who can spread the points around among all the players can be for teams. And that seems to be an issue for many teams in the league right now.
I have never watched a WNBA game until this year. Actually I watch the 15 minute highlight films. If it weren't for Caitlin I wouldn't watch them either. Now I know why I have never watched a WNBA game in the past. They are absolutely terrible. There is absolutely nothing that resembles basketball being played in the paint. The big women are so slow and clumsy it is laughable. They are all 30 lbs. overweight and most of them couldn't jump over a shoe box. How does a 6'7' tall woman not average a double-double when 80% of the players are a foot shorter than she is? And then there is Devil Reese.
I can’t stand the sky. Actually it’s not this year after angel Reese showed up and started her feud with Clark. Clark ain’t done nothing to her. It’s only Reese playing dirty and just bad sportsmanship. Ive been a fan of the sky since female basketball stsrted. Even though hardly anything around it. I was a bulls fan so it just transpired to the sky as well. Now though if the sky allows such bad conduct from its players. I’m rooting for the fever. I can’t stand behind idiots like angel Reese or support teams that allow such behavior
The Sky needs to get rid of Getto-Girls. They need players not social media "stars". Somebody need to make clear that it is NOT NFL, but WNBA. When you can NOT play, you can fight or it is everybody else's fault you lose.

The Sky's offense flows and scores better when Reece isn't on the floor! Need to run offense through Cardoso,Carter and Mabrey! Bring Reese off the bench as part of 2nd team!! You'll see and thank me later!!😂
Reese always insisting to play in the paint to get her rebounds is taking away from Cardosa's game. Cardosa should always be the one in the paint, not Reese.
First thing, the Sky are mislead by what a physical game is and a acceptable play gam e iks. Basketball is not for banging heads around. It is not for taking hard falls. Physical is being in shape for full court pacing. It is for finesse movements without running over a opponent. For the SKY flagrant should be upgraded to assault with the purpose of permanent punch drunk players as you would witness with older boxers that have been beat the ----- of.
I think the sky were picked to be near the bottom of the league. So this isn’t really that surprising. It was more surprising that they started off the season so well.
Chennady Carter and Mabrey got game, but they can also play dirty and that’ll hurt them here and there.
playing dirty has nothing to do with their loses
2023💍
CC in their head's rent free. One play had the Sky guarding CC in the paint witb all 5 player's. What does CC do panic, no. She passed the rock and a 3 pointer made by teammate.
Half of her boards are her own misses... So at best shes a 5 reb per game player without her own misses.
She needs to get over the fact she isn't any better than she is.And that what she thinks Clark has taken from her is really her limited skills and willing to put in the work in to achieve more of herself.As long as she is worried about Clark she will never get better.
🏀ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 🏀Caitlin Clark should easily be Rookie Of The Year. Caitlin's current WNBA status average so far this year : 16.2 ( PTS ) , 6.6 ( AST ),5.4 ( DRB ) , 1.3 ( STL ) , 5.2 ( TOV ). She is a Excellent passer , She has double coverage on her most of the time which actually frees up at least one of her teammates , She is fast and quick just as good at making those two pointers as well as the three pointers. The BONUS IS " CC has a HUGE FAN Base who Love Her :)
Fake media news
They have 2 rookies starting. Same with Sparks. Give these 2 teams 2 years. They will be contenders
There is a reason why they had two high draft picks.
They got two top centers. They should have gotten a center and a shooter. That other girl who won the college finals and Angel are a bad combo.
Remember Cardosa was picked 3 and she’s been injured, I think they took Angel at 7 was for popularity and she doesn’t have good defense like Cardosa. Cardosa is the better player, she definitely a defensive player
@@marioslrzn I do not think Cardosa doesnt have any real footwork
sky is to busy trying to hurt other team's players. team should get massive fines
2023 💍
I never see any hustle from the SKY except for Carter.
@@mr6688 The Sky. They are not winning because of the lack of hustle. What game are you watching? Clark picked them apart because of the lack of hustle. This entire video talks about the lack of defense, which is 90% hustle.
Imagine they end up getting Paige in the lottery
They can't. Chicago did a pick swap with dallas.
@@whatsyoursign3910 For real? LOL
@@whatsyoursign3910 Ye, just found it. "Dallas also reserves the right to swap first round picks with Chicago in 2025."
@@accent77 you mean the traded away there first round pick to Dallas?
@@oaklandtraphouseYeah but it’s place based, so if they were to get the first pick that then goes to Dallas.
They need a good shooter/passer PG to open up things. Right now you just stalk Mabry, make Reese/Cardoza take longer layups and limit defensive rebounds and you’re probably gonna win. Carter is good but only in spurts because she wears herself TF out lol
Will you please compile a video of the moments of a player hitting another player in the head on a lay-up similar to what Angel Reese did to Caitlin Clark? (you can include the NBA if you want.) I truly do not believe that type of play happens often but am willing to be proven wrong.
U dont watch the nba then. It literally happens like once a game..... i dont even watch the nba and i kno it happens often 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 stop being softer than baby 💩
Happens 10+ times a season. Refs call it a flagrant 1 and people move on!
Happens quite a bit in a season...not a crazy amount...it's not an issue as long as the right call is made at the time
You can not be a real person
Sound like police, like danm chill foo!!!!!
Angel Reese had the sun in her eyes for all of those games. Wait, no it wasn't the sun she was looking at but another star. Caitlyn Clark.😮
No, Reese was looking at the ring that's on her finger that she won it from Clark
@@soccergoal4090 Are you sure it wasn't the reflection from the ring of the 28 million dollar contract?
@@jordhuga271 I m pretty sure because Angel is going to make a lot of money. She already has a lot of endorsements but one thing she will never win again is that ring that Clark can only wish that she had.
@@soccergoal4090 Hopefully your girl is smart enough to not sour potential new viewers so they all can. The problem is not talent, it is her lack of class and poise. She comes across poorly and it will be reflected in her future potential to earn.
The Sky might not have to be at .500 in order to make the playoffs rn they are just 1 game behind the Fever for that 8th spot. Their coach TSpoon says they are still figuring things out. If they do and start winning some games like the Fever is winning now they might make the playoffs.
They are only 13 games in there's still a lot of basketball to be played Cardoso could start to get better as they keep playing and she starts geling with her team you never know too early to tell.
setting themselves up for #1 pick... if Angel had a jumper she would avg 20, 10 right now.. Milla needs to play up not down to smaller players
What if
@@michaels.2331 they might be undefeated if that was the case but unfortunately it's not..get in the lab, get off social media work on your package
If she hasnt developed a jumper yet, it unlikely that she ever will.
Nah...they ain't worse than I thought. Look...teams at the professional level fail not because of lack of raw talent. They fail because of failure to conceal as a team. Remember before the season started...and a rookie decided that a Barbie get together was more important than a team practice ...what message did that send?
The sky aren’t good right now, but they are two players away. If they get the number 1 pick and get Bueckers or flau’jay they’ll be trouble. They already have the bigs.
They can't get #1. They don't have a first round pick next year
@@MickTalksHoops damn, they’re cooked.
@@MickTalksHoopsThey can trade. Hopefully a good veteran joins them. I honestly think that they need perimeter defenders
I like Reese and Cardoso is just getting used to the WNBA game. Two rookies on one team in a major capacity is going to cause problems. It’s like Boston who is in her second year. She is finally getting into her own space and playing with a rookie guard is no different. The Fever are coming into their own and will only get better ❤️🩹
Angel’s game is too limited offensively. The fact that they are among one of the best rebounding teams in the league is the main reason their losses haven’t resulted in blowouts. One of the commentators calling the game basically said the same thing yesterday. Angel and the rest of the team need to work on fundamental basketball skills because all the missed layups and traveling calls were ridiculous. Come on ladies, once again we have to be reminded that there are good players sitting at home because in the W there are limited spots. We suppose to have higher expectations for you ladies because you are professional basketball players and your skill set should reflect that on the court.🤔
People that act poorly like AR either comes from a bitter single-mom house or they're trying to get the approval of the popular mean girls around them. AR better look at Sha'Carrie Richardson, learn how to change her arc from a villain, and walk the monomyth.
i like cc but i like reese she is also a good player but i wish she stop being a 5 year old in spite of her age as a child it will bury her
That whyte girl Gabby is clearly the problem...she shoots them out of every every game...Angel Reese had to cuss her out one game...its a shame
The Sky are a fun team to watch, but they aren't a good team this year because they don't have a good PG. People underestimate the importance of a good PG. A good PG spreads the points around to all the players which makes your team harder to defend. That is why Aces are struggling right now, their PG is out. Mabrey is a good player & shooter, but she is not good at facilitating & passing the ball to ensure the points are spread among the different players on the team. And that is why Chennedy Carter is doing so well, because she can create her own shots. The fact that Reese had more assists than Mabrey shows that Mabrey is not good at that facilitator role.
Mabrey is just doing what she’s told, they have no choice because she handles the ball better than most on her team. She also has the best shooting, so I think they have just said screw it and allow her to have the ball and control most possessions. I personally think Mabrey would be an assassin with a passer like Clark setting her up.
@@Theamericanglassguy I agree. Mabrey is a great player, she's just not a PG. I have noticed how important having a good PG who can spread the points around among all the players can be for teams. And that seems to be an issue for many teams in the league right now.
The sky have lost 4 in a row so Mick is guaranteeing a loss against the Wings.
They were winning without cardoso. They started loosing when she came back. Maybe she dont fit. They need to reevaluate their roster.
Theres a reason why they got the second pick.
They got the third pick, second pick was Los Angeles.
Caitlin Clark has 6 losses in a row 😂😂😂
The media hide it
if they do bad enough to get paige they could be decent
Yea I take it all back 😂😂😂 we are the worst team in the league 😭😭😭 they were cosplaying a good team to start the season and they tricked me 😂😂😂
If I'm not mistaken does the Chicago have a better record than the fever
I have never watched a WNBA game until this year. Actually I watch the 15 minute highlight films. If it weren't for Caitlin I wouldn't watch them either. Now I know why I have never watched a WNBA game in the past. They are absolutely terrible. There is absolutely nothing that resembles basketball being played in the paint. The big women are so slow and clumsy it is laughable. They are all 30 lbs. overweight and most of them couldn't jump over a shoe box. How does a 6'7' tall woman not average a double-double when 80% of the players are a foot shorter than she is? And then there is Devil Reese.
I can’t stand the sky. Actually it’s not this year after angel Reese showed up and started her feud with Clark. Clark ain’t done nothing to her. It’s only Reese playing dirty and just bad sportsmanship. Ive been a fan of the sky since female basketball stsrted. Even though hardly anything around it. I was a bulls fan so it just transpired to the sky as well. Now though if the sky allows such bad conduct from its players. I’m rooting for the fever. I can’t stand behind idiots like angel Reese or support teams that allow such behavior
The Sky needs to get rid of Getto-Girls. They need players not social media "stars".
Somebody need to make clear that it is NOT NFL, but WNBA.
When you can NOT play, you can fight or it is everybody else's fault you lose.
They won the championship just 2 years ago, what happened? By the way, Google that championship parade, funny stuff! Keep hating on CC. Karma.

Cardoso needs footwork and she will score 25ppg
But when CC WAS LOSING THEY ALL SAID OH SHE NEED A NEW COACH. NOW ITS REESE AND ITS NOTHING BUT BS PLZ WE KW WHATS UP. HOW QUICKLY THEY FORGET 3 POINT GAME DJ SAT HER A #$ DOWN
Cheers up Clark has more loses and 82 turnovers
Ugh the CC (couch crybabies) are so real
AR why not clobber one of the forwards that ran game on you. Is it their size you fear? Thats what i see
U need to take a $. T. Before each gym u would probably have a better game
100000000%
Caitlin Clark picked them apart like Joe Montana against Cleveland. Carter sees the floor and can ball when she wants to bring it.
@@RS-bl4zo Because she's a rookie, being inconsistent is what ALL rookies do. Why in the world would anyone expect a first year player to pick apart any top team? Might happen if everything aligns but doubtful. Bottom line is the talent's there, she just needs experience like everyone else.
She rebound s her missed shots
Reese is not a player that makes a team or her teammates better. Shes a complimentary player at best. LSU never needed her to succeed.
They never needed her to succeed? She was the best player on her team and won them a championship…
@@Yngtrey25 if I remember she didn’t play half the game. They still won.
@@Georgedunkin7473 she played 30 minutes out of 40 in the championship game. And was their most important player that game as well. Her defense was amazing that game, especially in the pick n rolls
That's why she jealous of CC 37% shooting layups for reese
