  • After Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever being beaten by New York Liberty 66-102, head coach Christie Sides suggests that she needs five who can defend. She said to press, "I've got to find five that will get out there and defend, defend without fouling." This was to point out her team's weakness in regards to this. This was Caitlin Clark's first game at home and there were high expectations from the 17,000 fans who turned out to support Caitlin Clark and the team.

    Wasn't it the coach's wish that Clark take less threes and rely on the rest of her team to help spread the ball? Didn't she say something like that a week ago or something?

    Erica Wheeler missed so many opportunities to pass to Caitlin for a shot. She was always late to deliver the pass. I think Wheeler is a distraction. Sides offense is crap. No one is setting screens for Clark they just stand there looking dumb and getting scored on.
    Let's make sure Caitlin doesn't get to play her game let's show her how to lose.
    There's a reason Indiana was dead last last year...Sides!
    You've got a once in a lifetime player and she doesn't have a clue how to coach her. Not to mention the ignorant players who refuse to pass to Caitlin.
    Get rid of sides, lazy Boston, wheeler.
    The only thing Sides knows is how to lose.

It will take her time to adjust. She's going to have to develop all aspects of her game. Takes than an exceptional 3 to dominate.

    The coach needs a realty check . The coach messed up, not the players. The coach moved Caitlin off the point guard position. The Fever had just played 2 WNBA exhibition games where Caitlin at point guard won one game and lost by only 3 points in the second game. But the coach said Caitlin had "bad habits" at point guard that she has to change. Thats ridiculous. Caitlins is a point guard! The coach has destroyed Caitlin's and teams self confidenceThats whats causing their hesitation on the court, the mis cues, turnovers and losses. Thats the result of bad coaching.

    Since Sides was approved by Lin Dunn this 2 clings to Indiana like its their last chance in life. Please step down and give the baton to a more competent set of people. The coaching and management. Lin Dunn please retire and take your protege of a coach with you.
    Except for Caitlin, Kelsey, Katie Lou and maybe Nalyssa all the rest of the players are lethargic.

  • @stevebrassie1209

    In my opinion, the Fever should have drafted Kate Martin along with CATLIN Clark. They had a n opportunity in the second round to do so but did not take advantage. Those two together would transform the Fever into the Run and Gun offensive team needed to compete with the more competitive teams in the league. CATLIN and Kate are used to a fast paced game and know how to connect. Last night was a disaster from the first missed layup from AB. As the center of the team she was no where near the basket on offense , and has no business brining the ball in. Her job is to be near the basket for quick scores, on offense, and rebounds on defense. Her shooting as horrendous. As a professional player she should know how to make a simple UNCONTESTED layup. AB was not the only player missing layups and other shots. I saw video of the players dancing around the court in practice. I am all for team bonding , but there seems to be no real focus for winning. Why were the players standing around on offense, when CATLIN had the ball. There were times when the Fever were playing Freeze instead of moving to the basket. This happened so often that the Fever looked like statues while one player on the team was dribbling to the basket. The bottom line is that this team has no chemistry, or they are sabotaging the game deliberately. Team comes first over individual glory, but if the current lineup, including the coaching staff are more interested in simply going through the motions instead of actually working together , then no amount of growing pains will be able to help the Fever to succeed. This game was a wake up call , that even though the Fever are young, they need to start taking this game serious, if they want to be contenders in this league. Attitudes and adjustments must be dealt with or this season will be a disaster.

    I am new to all this, but I did see the last 4 to 5 games of CC at Iowa, But what I have noticed now is that cc seems to not take shots that she would have taken at Iowa, I also think the coach has got in All the Girls heads, by saying only take the shots that are 100% sure score, so rather them back themselves they pass, its as if their creativity has been suck out and had an injection of doubt, also coaching my way is the only way rather than use the tools you have is so wrong.

    The "criticism" of the WNBA is right so far. CC is struggling so far in her play but we all know she is smart enough to adjust and right her ship sooner than later.However the rest of the team better adjust too or this failure will get "old" fast. Slow play, atrocious accuracy ( couldn't hit the fat side of a barn if you threw a cow at it) even with open shots and butterfinger handling of the ball overall. Both teams but especially the fever. A coach trying to change a generational player's game, teamates playing like they're unfit and lost and losing their new audience quick. CC with Iowa had fast pace,great passes successfully handled and converted into points overall. And a "coach" who knew how to let her star shine in her game. Seeing none of that here. Better figure it out quick or this opportunity for the wnba to be relevant will "wasted".

She looks slow, plodding and incapable of competing with opponents. The pick and roll hyped up so much has yet to appear. I can accept a loss when it is competitive. This was a sorry joke. Why do you have Erica taking control of the ball and sticking CC off in a corner? What strategy is that? I never understood Sides reluctance to play Grace Berger with any regularity. She plays Erica instead. Bad lineup decisions, loyalties to players you've had before, no clear direction on offense....the list goes on and on. You can't get rid of the entire team. At some point, the coach has got to go.

Boston, who I thought is a great player (Never seen her play before I started watching The Fever, but was told that she was) can barely run the floor. They use Wheeler (who I actually kinda like) as the floor general, which is a grave mistake! They have a true floor general in their hands, but they are determined to ruin her!

    You really think that Caitlin had nothing to do with loss? Take a look at her stats and it may help to understand how she contributed to the loss. Don’t label her as ‘mamba’ because Kobe could create his own shot. At this level, the players are 100% better than college players. Iowa spoiled her by having every member on the team throwing up screens for her all throughout the game, she needs to learn how to create space for herself.

    She needs to watch the GSW, offense plays 😭 I am positive they just run down the court and throw it to Boston. Set screen 🗣 and teach the girls how to set a screen too

    Unbelievable! I understand the Fever are young and are already in the WNBA "basement." But what I've seen so far is upsetting! It seems to me that coach Christie Sides is not trying to develop the team to enhance Clark's (Boston, and others') strengths. All I read from Sides are public comments about Caitlyn's deficiencies and problems. I'm not saying that the way the Fever are playing is all on the coach, but I do question, as a second-year head coach, her ability to meld a competitive team with some obviously exceptional talent. How about trying to coach to the players' strengths rather than having the players change to fit your coaching style. What have you accomplished, "coach?" And how is telling Clark, one of the best shooters ever, that her shot is not quite right?! ("It's these habits that we've gotta break", Sides, May 10). What you might do, genius, is break her effectiveness and confidence.

    Let’s remember Michael Jordan’s rookie season…Recall the Chicago Bulls didn’t take off until they replaced Coach Doug Collin’s with Phil Jackson; and most importantly, drafting Horace Grant and Scotty Pippen. Therefore-in my humble opinion-Coach Sides won’t or shouldn’t last past the Olympics break! The WNBA can’t afford for Caitlin Clark not to have her Stephen Curry moments of shooting about 25 to 30 shots a game-and yes I’m talking about launching 3$-which is her money shot and what the fans wants to see out of Caitlin Clark this year! Nobody cares if the Fever has a winning record in Caitlin Clark’s rookie season. Anybody that has coached or played basketball on any meaningful level knows it take more than three practices for a team to learn each others strengths and weaknesses and where they like to receive the ball at or the floor. If I were the coach of the Indianapolis Fever I would run the Paul Westphal offense (just run and gun and try to out score the your-the Fever’s-opponents!) Then during the offseason the Fever can work on their defense- and offensive sets…But, for this year… can we please turn Caitlin Clark loose and let her run the same offense she ran at Iowa-that worked… Iowa made it to back-to-back NCAAW Championship games! Therefore, the style of basketball Caitlin Clark needs to play has been time tested and proven. And I know her teammates won’t have a problem playing the Paul Westphal style of offense because of Caitlin Clark’s passing ability they would be getting a lot of layups and wide open spot-up jump shots and 3$! Enough said…Call Coach Bluder so that she can show the WNBA fans what CC can do in Paul Westphal’s Run and Gun offense! The WNBA can’t afford to mess this up because as Eminem said-in “Lose Yourself…Look (WNBA you [have] one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, Would you capture it or just let it slip? Yo” (credit for the Eminem reference goes to KC of “Behind the Line” podcaster.
    These need to take Caitlin Clark off the ball run multiple picks to free her up like the Pacers with Reggie Miller and the present day Golden State Warriors with Stephen Curry! This is a no brainer…run picks and screens along with the Paul Westphal offense is the only way to go!
    So come on WNBA owners of the Indiana Fever, get Caitlin Clark and the rest of your Indiana Fever the coach they need or else you will [lose your fan base and that of the WNBA’$] or to quote Eminem - “Lose Yourself!”

    In Kobe Bryant's first five games as a rookie, he averaged 8.8 points on 31.6% shooting. His coach, Del Harris, was NBA Coach of the Year the previous season. In Steph Curry's first five games, he averaged 9.8 points. His coach was Don Nelson, who ranks second in total wins. Even the greats have an adjustment period to the professional ranks. It's no one's fault. It's just the way of things.The problem with bandwagon jumpers is that they usually know next to nothing about the sport. Clark will struggle. She is not playing Drake or Purdue-Fort Wayne early in the season anymore. Relax. She's not your girlfriend.

    ♥♥😂😂♥♥😂😂♥♥😂😂The Raptor, CC22 is not a 2 but 1 guard!!! 80 % of the "Big O" is generated by her being the leader on the court!!!! The other players have to move so when she gets double team the ball can flow to the open player!!!! But No!!! She is a 2 or a wing player sitting in the corner waiting for the pass that never came her way because the other guard that had the ball wanted to score and show that she was in charge but she had less points and assist than CC did!!! You need 2 tall player on the court at the same time, to many guards on this team!!! The ratio is 8 guards to 4 tall Ladies!!!! The second tall person needs to be 6' 5" or taller that can play highpoint post for CC to break free on a pick/ screen!!! I predict if this is still happening at the Allstar Game/ Break there will be a coaching change!!!!

    bench wheeler. try getting some rebounds. Stop turning your back to the hoop. don't stop dribbling until you know what you are going to do. Catch the ball. This is stuff you learn in 3rd grade.
    Almost everyone watching can see what is wrong. If you destroy Clark, the W goes back to obsurity.
    Nike needs to be talking to Fever GM.
    We tune in to see Clark. Not wheeler, not AB hitting the bottom of the rim.

    This Coach does not know how to male any adjustments. If teams continually trap ball screens you MUST have counters to penalize the trap....(ghost action, screener slips/half-roll, back action and dive...or DONT SET BALL SCREENS) The adjustment needed to be made at halftime of the Connecticut game. The offense is awful...Horns is too slow of a developing base for what shes trying to do (post heavy). Sides doesnt know her best 5 are. I seriously think I could coach this team.....Defensive principles are bad....no baseline rotations, cant guard simple pin downs

  • @Tbone51

    Sides' resume is NOT impressive AT ALL. A first-time pro head coach with a dismal record last year, who is trying to meld elite talent in this, her second year? Just because she was an assistant coach with the Fever and Dream for a couple of years doesn't make her head coach material. Everything rises and falls on leadership. Ultimately, it's on the coach, for what happens on the floor. Do something about this GM Lin Dunn!

So this team will play but not for her but to destroy her cauae at team could make her look so bad as they plan too. They dont even help her are you telling me you cant support your tram as a tram and play as a team cause what i see they may have catlyn as team but they havent accept her too to be in NBA star. Cause if they so they should believe that she can makes a different if they help her to help the team. They have no offense for the team not even a diffense set ro atop a team they are just playing street ball if you dont have a offensive and offense play you will loose cause your opponent knows just how they can beat cause you dont believe in what your team can do.
