Before the break Mitchell viewed Clark as her competition.. Clark is smart, she feeds Mitchell and lets her be high scorer, now all of a sudden Mitchell feels her worth and wants to play with Clark because she knows if she can get open Clark will feed her.. Clark has made all the players on the team feel their worth, this is what turned the team around.. When you feel your worth to a team you play harder and better.. Notice how Clark would pass instead of shoot, this is done on purpose to spread the worth around.. Clark will put any and all players on the front page and in the spotlight.. If she didn't then some would resent her and call her a glory hound, that would be bad for team moral.. She is smart and will make hero's with all the players.. I have said it before, Lexi is a bundle of energy, she sprints to both ends 100% output all the time and if given a chance can shoot and on defense is relentless in their face..
Well said. Those are the characteristics of a natural leader. CC22 has led this team to be better than they should be. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes with Christie Sides but it is my belief that she also has something to do with the developing team dynamic. I give credit to both CC22 and Coach Sides for the improved harmony of the team, especially since the Olympic break.
@@2kool42 I don't give Sides credit for anything. sorry. but I do agree, CC has made the entire team better -- including Coach Sides. not sure she's taught Sides how to coach, but at least she's taught her to let CC be the playmaker. at least part of the time. maybe eventually she'll see that CC is a natural leader, and let her lead.
@@outsidethegarden Sides said something in postgame media to the effect that the players are making her look like a good coach. I think perhaps she is seeing the light as Mitchell is, that it's a heck of a lot more productive (and fun) to ride in the fast wagon than pull against the bit to slow/stop/control it.
@@cathygregory3443 DAMN I hope so. Sides seems like a VERY slow learner -- but if she's catching on, then the sky's the limit. they still lack defense ("a defensive coach" my @$$), and they need a lot more practice at anticipating CC's passes (I blame the coach, of course -- Lisa Bluder she isn't), but this is a lovely possibility for CC to show how she can turn a low-qual team into a contender. she's done it before, and she'll do it again.
@@catherinegeter1891 lol, "future." I'm trying to figure out how the Fever went from "getting CC to 'fit in' with our playing style" to "oh Iowa Hawkeyes style playing actually works!" doesn't seem like it had anything whatsoever to do with Christie Sides. CC turned the team around. that's MVP-level play, and that's real coaching. which she kind of had to do, since heaven knows wasn't nobody else doing it.
The highlights of this game were Caitlin humbling Dijon KARENgton several times. Especially after that hush taunt. It was so bad, Thomas fouled her in the face later for revenge. My fave was CC running DC into her own teammate and laying her face down on the paint. That was insane.
Carter, I really like how you run the clips more than once, interspersed by your breakdown, so that we can look at the clip again with a more educated eye. The other thing I wanted to say was the long pass to Lexi, could have been shown ten times, and I would still marvel at it. Caitlin throws that pass like a quarterback to a wide receiver leading Lexi, she puts her hands up and the ball is just thete. They both make it look EASY (even though I know it's not)
And I really respect and enjoy the speed of your delivery. Your subscribers like accurate information fast and clean. You understand we want clear and concise info at an uptempo pace. Thank you! You don’t repeat the obvious ad infinitum, like many other podcasters do. So many others harp on the same thing over and over. I have gleaned the list of podcasters I follow and you are one of two.
love what people have mentioned, that CC makes passes where her receivers don't even have to dribble, or just once. she gives them the shot setup they need, and all they have to do is be there for it. not just a playmaker, a game-winner.
Carter! You made a great point about not being able to tell what Lexie Hull did by just looking at the stat sheet. Another BIG factor in this game was Temi Fagbenli, who had ZERO points, but how she performed as a major irritant and disruptor to the Sun's offense was amazing. I used to just think of her as someone who could sprint down court and catch Caitlin's passes, but today she was on fire getting in the Sun's face.
@@the_jambassador yeah they're all good. but Carter is coaching. and he has the legit balance: articulate, fast-cutting but never confusing, multiple replays, the whole deal. he really ought to be a fixture in the Fever dressing room.
You'll notice that they never leave CC open. On your second clip where Boston passed to Hull, everyone's defender was in the paint except Carrington, who was glued to Clark. The poor girl has to fight for everything, but it leads to open shots for the others.
A fun game tonight but a squeaker. Everyone contributed. Temi was a beast and Hull got 17 points. Mitchell is finally being rewarded after seven years with the Fever. Clark did a great job and Boston had the most assists! Amazing
Mitchell has gotta stop dribbling into dead end crowds? She dribbled the ball 3 times directly into her opponents! Three times! STOP DRIBBLING!!! Pass and SHOOT!!! It’s what works.
Salute To You Carter! That middy/floater game, once she has full confidence in that, its goings to get real scary out there. Great breakdown as always.
Temi's defensive leadership was quietly effective. Hustle and effort are contagious and Temi brought it. Can't wait till she gets her offensive rhythm back. I also thought Allysa Smith stepped up her effort for this game. Lets hope she finds her offense soon.
We were at the game. Balanced performance across the team with everybody contributing. Seeing Smith and Wheeler step up was great. Mitchell another point leading performance. Lexi all over the court disrupting Conn. Give Connecticut credit for all the Fever turnovers, and Fever kudos for playing through them.
CC had a noticeable flatter arc on her shots last night. That 3 pointer near the end bubbity bounced back out due to (my opinion) an extremely flat arc on the shot.
At 82, I'm finally learning about basketball. Thx Carter! I'm 6'2" and never liked the game. Tennis was my thing and even that interest was started late. The biggest takeaway from this game was the #2 team didn't look very tough to beat.
Great vlog. Enjoy your channel a lot. CC is the driver. KMitchell is the key. Lexie Hull is the engine. Boston is the transmission. The Fever is becoming one beautiful ride.
As soon as the game ends, i wait for WNBA highlights, Indiana Fever highlights, Indiana Fever post game media availability and last but certainly not least... The latest video from ConvoswithCarter... Bravo my friend... Another great video...
I literally waited on your video tonight, couldn’t wait to hear what you had to say! You’re the only basketball channel I’m subscribed to (new sub!) because your style and commentary are so quality. How you break down plays is awesome for a new fan of the game like me, a hockey fan lmao Great job and I haven’t even watched the video yet
Mitchell is working hard to get that max contract. Hope they can keep her because she is better than just about any shooter they could pick up. Agree she should get player of the month.
The Temi Fagbenle block on DB was worth much more than the 2 pts it prevented. That block sent a message that the Fever weren't fckin around. Her defensive enforcement takes Indy to a title contender level imo.
I stayed up to 2 am looking for your analysis because I couldn't get the game directly. Somehow I missed it! BTW I am a night owl. Was Lexi EVERYTHING? 😃 I think shooting over the break with Caitlin and Lexi and building confidence and chemistry with her teammates, that's what changed Mitchell into the MVP of August! You see her passing to Clark or Boston and jetting away to an open position and then suddenly she has the ball and BANG goes the 3 ptr! I think Mitchell realized she could have fun hooping with the teammates! She is sooo freaking happy during the press releases now! Even after the Fever's last loss they were still confident, like we can do better and WE WILL! Love the excitement you bring. Could you add a play or two for the other team? I would like to know more about the talent Fever is playing... I just noticed I am saying "Fever" more.
I watch a number of commentators on TH-cam but find that you are one of the best. You are direct, don't stay on one topic too long, have a good understanding of the flow of wnba basketball, and keep me motivated to watch again.
When i was watching this game i said to my husband "Good things happen when they cut back door" He looks at me like who are you? Never been a big sports fan but im tuned in now.
"I'm TELLING you all, I called it!" no lie. "this is GROWTH." damn I'd love to see you at the post-game presser. it was sweet, watching CC and LH give KM props (CC had her in tears at one point), and then they gave it up for Lexi. I just get so sick of those stupid-@$$ questions. "how did it feel to win?" (my favorite was CC's answer to "how did it feel to break the 3-point record?" "that was cool. now Kels..." and she goes on about her teammates. tactful.) yeah you would just be a joy to see in a presser. "I don't want to float my own boat, but I CALLED it." the players would love you. but it would be even better if you had Christie Sides's job, after they trade her for a You Tube account. to pump them all up, show them some love, instead of doing calisthenics on the sideline. COACH them. because damn you're good.
"Learning how to win" is a cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason. The rookie is teaching this team how to win. Her moxie is contagious. I like the way you spread the love instead of focusing just on C.C.
Nice job Carter and infectiously entertaining as usual. And you obviously watch WHOLE game not just the glory plays. Does your voice occasionally head off into the realms where only cats, dogs and humming birds can hear you??? Well yes but you still manage to be entertaining. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍
Carter, I look forward to your analysis’ as you seem to be spot on!!! Christy Sides needs to hire you. Minimum I hope she is at least looking at your reviews.
Another awesome vid! Someone was posting crap about your pocket T, I say either go big with it, like a RED Fever logo pocket T, or upgrade even further, and make your shirt/top a signature in your videos, like jerseys from players whose game you admire. Curry, Dirk, Allen, Bird, Magic, Caitlin, etc. I know that takes money, so here's a start! I'll challenge him to contribute also.
Thank you!!!!! I seriously appreciate you! The first stop is a Lexie Hull Jersey! I don’t know WHAT you did, but your challenge must’ve WORKED. Aside from you, someone else helped by donating 100$ for the Jersey! Thank you, I am truly grateful. 💯💯💯 *But dang… I didn’t think the pocket tee’s were THAT bad. I’ll take y’all’s word, lol
@@CarterMomon Upgrading from the pocket T would simply align your on-camera attire with the exceptional quality of your analysis and videos. I don't much care, pocket T, garbage bag with arm and head holes, suit of knights armor, or Lexie Hull jersey over a pocket T. But I think I'd go with the Lexie jersey, personally. And I love that choice! Be sure to wear the jersey the day it comes in, no washing first allowed, and thank the generous contributor personally on camera. It's clear you do your work for the love of the game, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting some support from the many, many people who love YOUR work. Something that many TH-camrs do to help support their work is a merch shop, just something to think about for the future. Officer Tatum seems to do well with his shop. I know there are licensing aspects to deal with when sports merch is involved. You have the best Fever/Caitlin Clark analysis and videos on TH-cam. I just hope to see you grow and have it be worth your while. No idea what your day job is, but to the extent your videos and content can give you some additional income, it will help make it possible for you to keep producing your awesome content. As always, take whatever's useful, and ignore the rest. Best wishes!! P.S. I second this comment: "Carter, I really like how you run the clips more than once, interspersed by your breakdown, so that we can look at the clip again with a more educated eye."
@jdaniels1313 I will definitely wear the jersey the moment it comes in, and I’ll also be sure to thank the donator on camera! I’ve also been thinking about merch as well, as I’ve had quite a few people (including you) ask about it. In terms of running the clips over and over, I will definitely keep doing that as well. Early on I didn’t, as I was trying to avoid copyright. But, as I’ve been blessed with no copyright issues over using film, I have no issues replaying the clips for an overall better analysis. Thank you for taking the time to draft this nice comment. I truly appreciate you, and best wishes to you as well!
It's not talked about enough that Caitlin Clark is in the top 20 of all wnba players in all stats: points per game, rebounds, steals, assists, and blocks
This is the result of a 15 year journey by CC to reach her dream. No injuries so far! She does need supporting teammates to continue her assession to 'queen of the hardwood'!!
Boston, Michell, and Hull are better players because of Caitlin Clark. When you have someone like Caitlin throw you the ball, you know that she believes in you, and you want to prove that you are good enough. And guess what... They aren't just good enough, they are great!
CC22: Like a conductor orchestrating a symphony, the floor general directs the team with precision, lifting each player to their highest note- AB was first, then Kelsey, following is Lexi - NOW we have a TEAM!!! Good Job CC for your guiding hands and elevating your team. You turned in stats for the people on your team. It is paying off.
exactly how I see her: a playmaker and a team-maker. she saw this whole season from the get-go. "a coach who thinks I'm supposed to 'fit in'? yeah sure, so they can keep losing. so let's see: I need to convert my teammates, into a real team -- like what we had at Iowa. AB will probably see it soonest, since she's an all-star and was a rookie last year. okay yep, she's working with me now. now let's see if KM can realize that I'll feed her good looks if she gets me the ball -- oh yeah, she's on board. and LH is looking to get tied in. this is going to work. maybe I can even get Christie Sides to realize what she's missing? oh, doesn't look like it: she's too 'defensive-minded,' looking to slow us down even when it costs us the game. well, keep working -- she'll have to admit reality at some point." MVP? hell, CC for coach of the year.
What has astounded me about CC above all is her patience. She frequently uses the term "chipping away" when she talks about shifting the tide in winning games. Boy does she know about chipping away, and her team slowly gelling is pudding proof.
@@cathygregory3443 love this. I think of CC as a playmaker: she makes her team better, she makes her teammates better. she turned Iowa into a championship contender, two years in a row. she's turning the Fever into championship contenders. hell, I hope/believe she's turning Christie Sides into a half-way competent coach. she has a vision, and she's committed to it. so all the noise and drama and online flame-wars? not that important. she still gets caught up in the game: wanting to win, infuriated by ridiculous and unfair referreeing, stupid coaching decisions in the fouth quarter for heaven's sake WTAF? but she always has her eye on the long game. MVP, at a meta-level.
These Fever ladies are FIRE!!!! You can tell they LOVE the game. On top of that.... They have maturity which makes them stand out even more from the other teams that sometimes have really poor sportsmanship.
Carter I watch Ben and watch Mick and watch Adrienne and you are the best and most entertaining too. You and Ben should do a podcast together because you both have great personalities and are both funny too, even though you don’t curse it up like Ben, I appreciate your style.
Carter doesn’t need Ben in his analysis. Carter great job Always truthful good or bad. Wasn’t pretty tonight but got the win. Team worked hard. Defense and rebounding made the difference. Congrats to Indiana Fever🏀🏀🏀
I like Ben's analysis, but hate the cursing so I don't watch anymore. Mick knows basketball, but is always asking for more subscribers. I like this channel. I'll watch more.
Good teams have all stars that step up game after game … the Fever has 3 stars. Great teams have these stars and just as important … role players who make an impact consistently. Lexi, Temi & Double D are beginning to play their roles very consistently. If Erica and Smith perform more regularly … this team will be championship contenders.
Carter, I've learned sooo much about basketball and apparently judging from comments here, I'm not alone. Thanks for showing slow-motion videos and even occasionally drawing a circle around a player. With your experienced eye you recognize what's happening quickly, while I as a new CC fan can only focus on one activity at a time. So I noticed a blur of action as I concentrate on listening first then after replaying the clip a few times on my end, I'm able to comprehend what I heard with what I'm seeing. I find it easier to digest all that information when the action is slowed down as you are talking. Please continue to do more slow motion videos while you're talking, those are great learning moments. A great example is a deliberately slowed down video while you talked at 6:25 and you said the defender goes under the screen and Leslie Hull takes and makes the shot. Another thing you might consider is drawing a line to represent the "screen." Early in the season watching CC and the Fevers, I had to Google to learn what a screen meant in the world of basketball. Keep up the good analysis and it's ok with me that you "float your boat" with predictions that come to past. I am excited for your ConvosWithCarter and can't wait for more viewers to discover you to push you through 10,000 and beyond in subscribers. Your intensity and excitement and light-hearted, modest humor come through well. Do keep up this slower pace of talking.
I like that CC burned wig-wearer & CC disrespecter Karrington several times. I would love to see a compilation of apposing players’ reactions when Fever players outdo them. Sometimes they gesticulate and do other movements out of frustration - no lessons, purely fanboy stuff.
They will need a coach who can game plan well and make good in-game adjustments. Right now Fever probably lose in 1st round because of Christie Sides' coaching. Sides needs a consultant/trainer to teach her how to be a decent coach.
Kelsey better get player of the week after how she has been playing…then after that if Lexie keeps this up get her turn as well…can’t wait to see just how much more they can progress to by the playoffs…can easily see Kelsey and CC combining for 60+pts by then making it so they can average 90-100+ pts easily every game with everyone able to hit and make their layups but especially the 3pt shot becoming a new normal for the majority of the team along with the bench players doing it consistently…could become the #1 offensive team in the league..
Love your videos, your voice, the energy and the analysis, the place you are coming from supporting this team and these players, the clips, all of it! Now after a game I don’t feel satisfied until I’ve watched your take. What did you think of CC taking that last missed 3? Hero ball or loved to see her taking that on?
Kelsey and all the others started cutting back door around mid season once they finally discovered they were going to score a lot of points after CC dropped a great dime on them!🎉
I'm on the Lexi Train, for sure...she was the MVP of this game. I've been "calling it" for her, as well. I've been saying the same thing you say...start hitting those threes and it's over. BUT, CARTER...TEMI NEEDS MORE LOVE!!! You didn't even highlight that defensive play where she just TOOK THAT BALL from someone attempting a layup!! Just took it!!!!! Started out as a block, but just WENT BONKERS!! BAM.
@@CarterMomon you’re welcome! I , I mean WE as your subscribers love your content. Keep progressing and studying! This “seed” is just the start of what’s to come for you
Tami needs to be given more time and credit for what she does. I know she blew a few layups last game, but she is a baller. I really think she is an X factor that they cannot ignore.
Lexie Hull is a beast. The 17 points was impressive but 8 rebounds is just insane by Lexie which was most on the team and in game.
She's a Gazelle, a beautiful beast! Run Lexie, Run!
She's amazing..I'm so proud of her
What if Lexie is breaking out, and can be an all star? Just throwing out this possibility.
And most of them were offensive rebounds. She is the least likely offensive rebounder by her size, but she does it.
@@a2knycrebounding is just a matter of wanting to do it
These girls are starting to play for each other and it's beautiful to see.
@@cjprince1 Yup, almost all of them check for an assist down the floor. It's a good mindset to have. CC is the professor.
Good you mentioned Temi. But she did more than that. She's the general on the defensive line. Temi and Lexie are the enforcers of this team!
🎯 Temi was +18!
WORD. Temi was LEADING this team defensively. She was showing up as a VET.
Yup. Temi stats doesn’t reflect how important she is. Little hard to watch her miss shots under the rim.

I can't wait for your commentary 🎉 thank you
Thank you! 🎉
I literally waited on your video tonight, couldn’t wait to hear what you had to say! You’re the only basketball channel I’m subscribed to (new sub!) because your style and commentary are so quality. How you break down plays is awesome for a new fan of the game like me, a hockey fan lmao Great job and I haven’t even watched the video yet
You are worth waiting for, Carter!!!!
Caitlin Clark is phenomenal 👌
ALWAYS great analysis Mr Carter!
Mitchell is working hard to get that max contract. Hope they can keep her because she is better than just about any shooter they could pick up. Agree she should get player of the month.
The Temi Fagbenle block on DB was worth much more than the 2 pts it prevented. That block sent a message that the Fever weren't fckin around. Her defensive enforcement takes Indy to a title contender level imo.
And no petty cheesy refs call?
I stayed up to 2 am looking for your analysis because I couldn't get the game directly. Somehow I missed it! BTW I am a night owl.
Was Lexi EVERYTHING? 😃 I think shooting over the break with Caitlin and Lexi and building confidence and chemistry with her teammates, that's what changed Mitchell into the MVP of August! You see her passing to Clark or Boston and jetting away to an open position and then suddenly she has the ball and BANG goes the 3 ptr! I think Mitchell realized she could have fun hooping with the teammates! She is sooo freaking happy during the press releases now! Even after the Fever's last loss they were still confident, like we can do better and WE WILL!
Love the excitement you bring. Could you add a play or two for the other team? I would like to know more about the talent Fever is playing... I just noticed I am saying "Fever" more.
I watch a number of commentators on TH-cam but find that you are one of the best. You are direct, don't stay on one topic too long, have a good understanding of the flow of wnba basketball, and keep me motivated to watch again.
Damn they are peaking at the right time! Exciting game!
I wouldn’t call it peaking? They are showing signs of improvement and adjusting to the changes. Temi had multiple defensive plays of note.
When i was watching this game i said to my husband
"Good things happen when they cut back door"
He looks at me like who are you?
Never been a big sports fan but im tuned in now.
😂❤
I am exhausted, but I had to watch your analysis before calling it a night. As always, great breakdown! Thank you
"I'm TELLING you all, I called it!" no lie. "this is GROWTH."
damn I'd love to see you at the post-game presser. it was sweet, watching CC and LH give KM props (CC had her in tears at one point), and then they gave it up for Lexi. I just get so sick of those stupid-@$$ questions. "how did it feel to win?" (my favorite was CC's answer to "how did it feel to break the 3-point record?" "that was cool. now Kels..." and she goes on about her teammates. tactful.)
yeah you would just be a joy to see in a presser. "I don't want to float my own boat, but I CALLED it." the players would love you.
but it would be even better if you had Christie Sides's job, after they trade her for a You Tube account. to pump them all up, show them some love, instead of doing calisthenics on the sideline. COACH them.
because damn you're good.
"Learning how to win" is a cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason. The rookie is teaching this team how to win. Her moxie is contagious. I like the way you spread the love instead of focusing just on C.C.
the same way CC always gives her teammates credit, in the pressers. generous AND skillful: builds morale and confidence.
*- "I think I said that?...." Great line to use.*
Nice job Carter and infectiously entertaining as usual. And you obviously watch WHOLE game not just the glory plays.
Does your voice occasionally head off into the realms where only cats, dogs and humming birds can hear you???
Well yes but you still manage to be entertaining.
Keep them coming. 👍👍👍
Noticed that.
Carter, I look forward to your analysis’ as you seem to be spot on!!! Christy Sides needs to hire you. Minimum I hope she is at least looking at your reviews.
Clark did have a learning curve in the WNBA, but it was short. One of the things she learned is that most of her opponents can't stop her.
Laughing and laughing!
Love this channel Carter. It would be cool if the Fever players and coaches could listen to your feedback.
Another awesome vid! Someone was posting crap about your pocket T, I say either go big with it, like a RED Fever logo pocket T, or upgrade even further, and make your shirt/top a signature in your videos, like jerseys from players whose game you admire. Curry, Dirk, Allen, Bird, Magic, Caitlin, etc. I know that takes money, so here's a start! I'll challenge him to contribute also.
Thank you!!!!! I seriously appreciate you! The first stop is a Lexie Hull Jersey! I don’t know WHAT you did, but your challenge must’ve WORKED. Aside from you, someone else helped by donating 100$ for the Jersey! Thank you, I am truly grateful. 💯💯💯
*But dang… I didn’t think the pocket tee’s were THAT bad. I’ll take y’all’s word, lol
@@CarterMomon Upgrading from the pocket T would simply align your on-camera attire with the exceptional quality of your analysis and videos. I don't much care, pocket T, garbage bag with arm and head holes, suit of knights armor, or Lexie Hull jersey over a pocket T. But I think I'd go with the Lexie jersey, personally. And I love that choice!
Be sure to wear the jersey the day it comes in, no washing first allowed, and thank the generous contributor personally on camera.
It's clear you do your work for the love of the game, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting some support from the many, many people who love YOUR work. Something that many TH-camrs do to help support their work is a merch shop, just something to think about for the future. Officer Tatum seems to do well with his shop. I know there are licensing aspects to deal with when sports merch is involved.
You have the best Fever/Caitlin Clark analysis and videos on TH-cam. I just hope to see you grow and have it be worth your while. No idea what your day job is, but to the extent your videos and content can give you some additional income, it will help make it possible for you to keep producing your awesome content.
As always, take whatever's useful, and ignore the rest. Best wishes!!
P.S. I second this comment: "Carter, I really like how you run the clips more than once, interspersed by your breakdown, so that we can look at the clip again with a more educated eye."
@jdaniels1313 I will definitely wear the jersey the moment it comes in, and I’ll also be sure to thank the donator on camera! I’ve also been thinking about merch as well, as I’ve had quite a few people (including you) ask about it. In terms of running the clips over and over, I will definitely keep doing that as well. Early on I didn’t, as I was trying to avoid copyright. But, as I’ve been blessed with no copyright issues over using film, I have no issues replaying the clips for an overall better analysis.
Thank you for taking the time to draft this nice comment.
I truly appreciate you, and best wishes to you as well!
Insightful "clean" commentary; terrific as usual !
Such an exciting game!!! GO FEVER!!! ♥️
Lexi floating back to the perimeter was OUTSTANDING performance!
Great commentary. I love your breakdowns and the excitement bringing them out. keep up the good work
Temi played some key defense too. The turnover she caused by Alyssa Thomas at the end was nasty!
It's not talked about enough that Caitlin Clark is in the top 20 of all wnba players in all stats: points per game, rebounds, steals, assists, and blocks
This is the result of a 15 year journey by CC to reach her dream. No injuries so far!
She does need supporting teammates to continue her assession to 'queen of the hardwood'!!
Boston, Michell, and Hull are better players because of Caitlin Clark. When you have someone like Caitlin throw you the ball, you know that she believes in you, and you want to prove that you are good enough. And guess what... They aren't just good enough, they are great!
lovely take!
CC22: Like a conductor orchestrating a symphony, the floor general directs the team with precision, lifting each player to their highest note- AB was first, then Kelsey, following is Lexi - NOW we have a TEAM!!! Good Job CC for your guiding hands and elevating your team. You turned in stats for the people on your team. It is paying off.
exactly how I see her: a playmaker and a team-maker. she saw this whole season from the get-go. "a coach who thinks I'm supposed to 'fit in'? yeah sure, so they can keep losing. so let's see: I need to convert my teammates, into a real team -- like what we had at Iowa. AB will probably see it soonest, since she's an all-star and was a rookie last year. okay yep, she's working with me now. now let's see if KM can realize that I'll feed her good looks if she gets me the ball -- oh yeah, she's on board. and LH is looking to get tied in. this is going to work. maybe I can even get Christie Sides to realize what she's missing? oh, doesn't look like it: she's too 'defensive-minded,' looking to slow us down even when it costs us the game. well, keep working -- she'll have to admit reality at some point."
MVP? hell, CC for coach of the year.
What has astounded me about CC above all is her patience. She frequently uses the term "chipping away" when she talks about shifting the tide in winning games. Boy does she know about chipping away, and her team slowly gelling is pudding proof.
@@cathygregory3443 love this. I think of CC as a playmaker: she makes her team better, she makes her teammates better. she turned Iowa into a championship contender, two years in a row. she's turning the Fever into championship contenders. hell, I hope/believe she's turning Christie Sides into a half-way competent coach.
she has a vision, and she's committed to it. so all the noise and drama and online flame-wars? not that important. she still gets caught up in the game: wanting to win, infuriated by ridiculous and unfair referreeing, stupid coaching decisions in the fouth quarter for heaven's sake WTAF? but she always has her eye on the long game.
MVP, at a meta-level.
Good things been happening! The team is getting better and better.
These Fever ladies are FIRE!!!! You can tell they LOVE the game. On top of that.... They have maturity which makes them stand out even more from the other teams that sometimes have really poor sportsmanship.
Thanks!
Solid Man!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate this!!!!!! May God bless you 💯💯💯
@@CarterMomon Awesome channel!! May God bless you too!!!
Carter I watch Ben and watch Mick and watch Adrienne and you are the best and most entertaining too. You and Ben should do a podcast together because you both have great personalities and are both funny too, even though you don’t curse it up like Ben, I appreciate your style.
Carter doesn’t need Ben in his analysis. Carter great job Always truthful good or bad. Wasn’t pretty tonight but got the win. Team worked hard. Defense and rebounding made the difference. Congrats to Indiana Fever🏀🏀🏀
I like Ben's analysis, but hate the cursing so I don't watch anymore. Mick knows basketball, but is always asking for more subscribers. I like this channel. I'll watch more.
Another one you’d like is Venom Reacts. Great analysis.
i knew Carter would get excited damn I was lol
ps - OUTSTANDING Commentary and production! Keep up the GR8 Work. Looking forward to your Friday Night Show. 🔥🔥🔥👊🏼
You called it Coach Carter
Good teams have all stars that step up game after game … the Fever has 3 stars.
Great teams have these stars and just as important … role players who make an impact consistently. Lexi, Temi & Double D are beginning to play their roles very consistently. If Erica and Smith perform more regularly … this team will be championship contenders.
Well said!
Love the post game analysis ... Keep rocking it Carter!!
love your videos, also love mick,adrienne, ben and venom, great stuff all. carter, you are one of the best, totally
The intensity of this game was striking. It had a fervor (and occasional sloppiness), reminding me of playoff season.
They were gelling at times.
Carter, I've learned sooo much about basketball and apparently judging from comments here, I'm not alone. Thanks for showing slow-motion videos and even occasionally drawing a circle around a player. With your experienced eye you recognize what's happening quickly, while I as a new CC fan can only focus on one activity at a time. So I noticed a blur of action as I concentrate on listening first then after replaying the clip a few times on my end, I'm able to comprehend what I heard with what I'm seeing. I find it easier to digest all that information when the action is slowed down as you are talking. Please continue to do more slow motion videos while you're talking, those are great learning moments. A great example is a deliberately slowed down video while you talked at 6:25 and you said the defender goes under the screen and Leslie Hull takes and makes the shot. Another thing you might consider is drawing a line to represent the "screen." Early in the season watching CC and the Fevers, I had to Google to learn what a screen meant in the world of basketball. Keep up the good analysis and it's ok with me that you "float your boat" with predictions that come to past. I am excited for your ConvosWithCarter and can't wait for more viewers to discover you to push you through 10,000 and beyond in subscribers. Your intensity and excitement and light-hearted, modest humor come through well. Do keep up this slower pace of talking.
Wheels is having more fun than anyone..always jumping off the bench to celebrate a teammate's good play
She should. She's making 200 plus and sitting on the bench.
I'm not just a cc fan, I'm a kelsey mitchell, aliyah boston, and lexi hull fan these days
Starting to get familiar with the individual parts of the team.
Yes, it is a team sport!
Growth needs to happen in each and every game and it seems to be happening. Once you get to .500, the sky’s the limit. Congrats ladies
I like that CC burned wig-wearer & CC disrespecter Karrington several times. I would love to see a compilation of apposing players’ reactions when Fever players outdo them. Sometimes they gesticulate and do other movements out of frustration - no lessons, purely fanboy stuff.
The Fever looks like a potential championship team to me now.
They will need a coach who can game plan well and make good in-game adjustments. Right now Fever probably lose in 1st round because of Christie Sides' coaching. Sides needs a consultant/trainer to teach her how to be a decent coach.
Maybe, but they're so erratic on defense it makes me nervous.
@@Rdkng07very NERVOUS!!!
Kelsey better get player of the week after how she has been playing…then after that if Lexie keeps this up get her turn as well…can’t wait to see just how much more they can progress to by the playoffs…can easily see Kelsey and CC combining for 60+pts by then making it so they can average 90-100+ pts easily every game with everyone able to hit and make their layups but especially the 3pt shot becoming a new normal for the majority of the team along with the bench players doing it consistently…could become the #1 offensive team in the league..
Optimism’s a good thing.
So glad I found your channel this season.. Really enjoy your commentary Carter. Keep brining it for us!!! Thanks!
Mitchell's has been on 🔥 since the Olympics break
Love your evaluations. You have great enthusiasm and I get energized hearing you speak !!! Keep 'em coming !!!
"Defense is a constant, offense can be hot or cold" coach Al McGuire Marquette U.
"Defense and rebounds win games".
Love your videos, your voice, the energy and the analysis, the place you are coming from supporting this team and these players, the clips, all of it! Now after a game I don’t feel satisfied until I’ve watched your take. What did you think of CC taking that last missed 3? Hero ball or loved to see her taking that on?
Arc on shot is missing.
It is amazing how so many of the teammates are being celebrated. They are all playing their potential! 🏀
Great post, great insight, and great positive energy Carter!
Mitchell is unstoppable 👏
Except for that dribbling into crowds and the ball is winding up in the opponents hands?
Bud. This is a great commentary.you have great knowledge and super great communication style. Really break it down for new WNBA fans
Omg? I just saw that split the defense floater! She’s going to be the MVP next year!
Christie Sides, if you put Katie Lou back in the starting line up, people will revolt. Lol
Kelsey and all the others started cutting back door around mid season once they finally discovered they were going to score a lot of points after CC dropped a great dime on them!🎉
I love you, man. You don't waste a second, it's all gold. BTW, when are you going to put a ring on it (Ms.Mitchell, lol)?
Thanks! Don't be that guy ,, I told yall
Thank you!!!!! I appreciate it! I’ll try not to be “that” guy anymore. God bless, my friend 😂💯💯💯
Once CC learns how to draw fouls this team is winning championships mark my words.
She all ready draws fouls, it's just the refs aren't calling them. It's been that way up until the Olympic break. Refs are a bit better now.
@@PrebenHPedersenrefs are not GOOD!!!
I'm on the Lexi Train, for sure...she was the MVP of this game. I've been "calling it" for her, as well. I've been saying the same thing you say...start hitting those threes and it's over. BUT, CARTER...TEMI NEEDS MORE LOVE!!! You didn't even highlight that defensive play where she just TOOK THAT BALL from someone attempting a layup!! Just took it!!!!! Started out as a block, but just WENT BONKERS!! BAM.
Her defense was outstanding!
that was beauty.
That is my favorite part!!
You keep making these game vids and I’ll keep posting them. GREAT JOB. ❤
Get yourself that jersey and get rid of the pocket T lol
Farrout Man! 👁️✅
WHAT! I appreciate this, Seth!!! YOU. THE. MAN!!! Thanks for buying me a Lexie Jersey. You just “upped” my drip! May God bless you, man. 💯
@@CarterMomon you’re welcome! I , I mean WE as your subscribers love your content. Keep progressing and studying! This “seed” is just the start of what’s to come for you
Yes sir! I definitely will ‼️💯💯
Tami needs to be given more time and credit for what she does. I know she blew a few layups last game, but she is a baller. I really think she is an X factor that they cannot ignore.
Encouraging that they now have at least 1 win v. the 4 top teams in the standings- and they have another shot at the Aces coming up.
great analysis and delivery brother keep it up
Carter, your analysis is just like a pass between CC and KM, quick, slick and smooth. Keep it up.
CC & Company spanked Dijon Mustard team. 🤣
Fever matched their physicality.
They were definitely scrapping like crazy!!
