She's not struggling.... 17 points, 5.5 rebounds in first 4 games is one of the best rookie starts of all time.
The turnovers and defense need to improve. I like Sabrina Ionescu and her game is similar to CC. Even Ionescu has the improve on her team and individual defense. CC is has to adjust to female players that will give her that work on both ends of the floor. At Iowa, CC did not have to play defense; sit in a stationary zone and rest.
@@therealdarrell282 Look at those TOS, it wasn't all her fault, About 1/3 of those were because her teammates can't catch basketballs. Don't just look at the stats, study also why that is the stats.
@@rap3208 Turnovers are going to count towards CC. She will get better, but her defense still needs work because it is not good. Nobody can deny that.
@@JayCeeL4513 The Fever need an influx off talent.
@@therealdarrell282 I'm not saying anything against that, but the detractors are making her TOs as mantra or a chant without trying to understand them. - that even though its counted as her error, the fault is not hers. It needs two to tango, the passer and the receiver.
2 months?????? she had 3 or 4 weeks!!!!
And had 24 7 media appearances
Fever's only problem is they have a clueless head coach
CC is definitely with the wrong coach. The Fever could be a great team with the right coaching.
@@toniciarfella5392What offensive system would you run and what about on defense? The problem Indiana has is a lack of talent. You got CC and Boston and the rest of the roster is just okay. The objective for the Fever right now is to improve as a team; not win games.
I agree. The Fever has some good young talent, but the coach is horrible. She's more concerned with getting her pets Wheeler & Wallace time in the game than winning. She's not letting the starting lineup play together & develop chemistry. Every quarter half way thru she pulls out the starters so her underachieving favorites Wheeler & Wallace could play for the rest of the quarter. And she had CC sit on the bench way too long after the ankle twist. And the reason the refs favor the other team is because a vet player on the team & their coach are constantly in the refs ear. Where is Sides? She's not standing up for her players against the refs or getting in their ear at all.
their problem is being part of the WNBA ahahah
She is leading her team in scoring, assists, and threes made, not to mention being near the top of the WNBA in those categories as well. If she is struggling, just imagine what the rest of her team who are returning WNBA players are doing.
and she is only the 3rd player in wnba history to score atleast 50 in the first three games...and this is called struggling? and haters say CC is 0-4 as if she is the only player on the team...if her teammates can atleast score in double digits, can handle her passes/assists, the fever could be undefeated.
@@ThisIsHarderThanIThought you were supporting my comment, so I hate to correct but she is the fourth with 50 points and 15 assists through the first three. There have been somewhere around 24 players (going on memory) score 50.
@@Vadeemers I’ll add this ; one of those players wasn’t a true rookie. Mcrae was 26 and had played in another pro league previous to the wnba. So , for true rookies Clark is the third player to achieve that.
haters gonna hate.....struggling? hahahaha.....she is already a superstar....her ball skills are legit
I saw these stats, that don't include last nights game against Connecticut, but it compares Caitlin Clark to the other 144 players stats and shows her relative position. Even though her team isn't winning yet, and turnovers are too high early on, her individual stats are very good for a 3-game rookie.
How Caitlin Clark Ranks among the 144 players in the WNBA as of 5/20/24:
Mins played - 97 (5th)
Assists - 17 (2nd)
Rebounds - 13 (22nd)
Points - 51 (7th)
F T % - 100% (Tied 1st)
3 P M - 9 (1st)
F G M - 16 (13th)
EFF - 40 (18th)
0-4
@@davruck1 wow. We didn’t know thanks for adding such high level analysis. Are you a professional scout?
@@TaiyouArt0-5
D1 all time leading scorer. 3950 points. Second all time assists. 2x National player of the year. 2x Naismith. 45 NCAA records broken. Only third true rookie to have 50 pts and 15 assists in first 3 WNBA games. Over 35 million in endorsement deals inked. She’s struggling so bad, I want to struggle like her please.
The sky is falling with the WNBA? Really? How about who is responsible for the scheduling in the WNBA? Who's the genius that decided it was a good idea to schedule the top rated teams in the league at the beginning of the Fevers season? If you're trying to promote the WNBA and ride the wave of interest this years rookie class is bringing. You don't setup your #1 pick and the leagues bottom tier team to fail. Caitlin and the Fever are going to be just fine. I don't believe Connecticut or New York feel they played the same team the second time around. Connecticut was luck to have won.
i agree...pitting the worst team against the very top teams in the first week is ridiculous, and to play them twice to boot a scam...it seems like the wnba wants the top teams to go undefeated for as long as it can.
her first 3 road games over 20 pts ....thats struggling? She's a superstar already....
Yeah, I bet most players can accept struggling being 7th in scoring and second in assists for a rookie guard. She's having a horrible season🤡
CC looks to be best player on Fever. The team is struggling for sure, and she obviously has to learn to play with her teammates and in the wnba. But struggling is getting 4 points a game, not 17+. And several of her turnovers are related to her teammates not able to handle quick passes.
In just 4 games.... 26 turnovers, 12-35 from 3, and 21-51 from 2, and losing every game is not good at all. Stop trying to convince everyone that mediocrity is actually greatness.
LMFAO
@@doctoromega5051 it's women's basketball, it's no where close to mediocre on a good day
@@doctoromega5051 only 4 other players in wnba history have 60 pts and 20 assists In their first 4 games. Out of 1000s of players. ✌✌✌
This lady is full of crap. The Fever have had to play two of the best three teams in the league 4 times to start the season and she is still averaging 17 PPG, 5 APG and almost 4.5
RPG now I have no idea how they call this struggling.
When you commit 10 turnovers in a single game and are shooting around 40% that's called struggling. No need to lie and baby her, she needs to be better and she will.
Nice to hear Stacey Dales offer up a little understanding, compassion, and grace.
2:29 Taurasi’s rookie season was so hard that she won ROY and was 3rd in MVP voting. That second reason is why I thought she was the wrong person to deliver the “it’s going to be so terribly difficult” message to CC. The league is also immeasurably more competitive and has such better athletes (and players in general) than it did 20 years ago when DT was a rookie.
Basketball is a TEAM sport ...
Jordan lost early in his career. Wemby has too.
But jordan beat nba all stars team when played on college USA team before he got drafted cc is good but not on that level where she been dominating regardless how bad her team is
He averaged 28 points pg and added 11 wins for the Bulls his rookie year......
Bird averaged 21 points pg and 10 rebounds while taking a team that 29-53 the year before to 61-21 his rookie year.....
Greatness doesn't miss a beat......Clark should still be dominating and getting her numbers no matter if the team wins or loses.....currently she's not....
What is most staggering isn't that CC is struggling but how others are reacting. We expected her to have adjustments but not have everybody put so much pressure on her is too much.
1. The refs calling her game is too lopsided. CC is getting called for little things. 2 fouls in 10 minutes stops CC every night. On the other side, CC is getting bodied by double teams that even LBJ can flop easily. Not to mention the missed calls such as the kick balls in the Connecticut Suns game. It's like the refs also wants recognition.
2. CC's own coaches are scared and don't know how to draw plays for her. How many pick and rolls do you see being called for CC. High screens? Also, why is CC playing the two (SG)? Why is CC handling the inbound pass instead of receiving it? Usually it's the SF that is inbounding the ball. PG usually receives the pass to drive or pass. The SG usually receive the pass to shoot or pass the ball. Only time CC handles the inbound pass is under the basket where the Center or PF can streak towards the basket for a layup or shot, or a SG can spot up for a 3 point.
3. The game management and playing calling is abysmal.
What?Do you know women haters Bill burr said that it best women can't come together as a team without destroying each other.😅😅😅😅
Thank you for supporting CC
You are so right about fans and the media and the pressure Caitlin puts on herself ❤️❤️❤️Nj
It's not Caitlin. It's her teammates. The other teams key on Caitlin and other teammates not enough threat to not cover as hard. Caitlin getting grabbed a lot as well. Not good defense by teammates.
Great interview! Thanks SD !
Caitlin Clark is top 5 in assists, top 15 in points and putting up better numbers than Taurasi and somehow she’s struggling. Clearly she is the GOAT bc the media is holding her to the highest possible standard
Sides has to go.
What struggle I think the points total and everything else she does is better than what a regular player is doing
She's lost EVERY SINGLE GAME. Not to mention her poor shooting percentage and terrible turnover numbers. If you think she's playing well, then you really have been brainwashed by the WNBA
I don't like basketball, I don't follow basketball but Caitlin Clark caught my attention and got my respect..
Thank You Stacy for the most intelligent insight of Caitlin Thank You !
It's another 11 teams and 140 players in the wnba that needs acoverage..pls media you are killing us with these CC overdose
Boycotting Fever games should be a theme. No offense but only numbers can change the agenda. Reality check is needed
We need more Clark coverage imo.
@@TaiyouArt boycotting Fever games
You want to boycott the highest attendance games, highest viewed games, highest viewed highlights? Just enjoy that the WNBA is getting more coverage and attention in general.
I want to hear you make those same excuses for A gel Reese.
Averaging 11.5 and 8.5. Solid start for her. No excuses needed.
Boycott Fever games is alive in well in my home. Already got a media machine. When she loses a game. They pretend she won. Can't have my attention anymore propaganda is real.
@@mischievoustimes8460 we will miss you. 😘
Why the comparison lol. She's not getting media and people scrutiny like Clark. And Reese is a bad mouth Clark never responds to haters. She needs this
Folks forget that there’s a reason why the Fever had the top pick. 😆
Physicality and speed are tougher. It will take a little time.
I THINK HER PASSING IS GREAT , HER TEAMMATES HAVE TO BE READY FOR THEM ! A LOT OF HER PASSES ARE TURNOVERS ! BUT NOT BECAUSE OF HER PASS ! THEY HAVE TO BE READY FOR A QUICK PASS ! CAITLIN KNOWS IN THIS LEAGUE , THEY GOTTA BE FAST ! THE LAST 2 GAMES WERE WINNABLE GAMES , ESPECIALLY THE LAST ONE ! BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE WON BOTH OF THEM ! BUT I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP !
What struggles? Last time I checked she's doing her part?
Yes, she's definitely helping her team lose every game she's played LOL
@@doctoromega5051 >>> yet she is only the 3rd player in the wnba history to score atleast 50 points...go figure hater LOL
She's learning, and when all the fevers have trust in her games and mates , they will be phenomenal
Agreed. Well said👏🏻💯
Why is it that so many people have to be all or nothing? Caitlin Clark has not had the start that she was hyped up to. However, in that sense she was probably overhyped (as the media tends to do). It was completely ridiculous to make the comparison between a college player and a man recognized by most as the greatest to ever play the game. At the same time, the sky is hardly falling. Caitlin Clark still looks like the best player on the court for decent stretches (and the best player on the Fever whenever she is out there). For someone who has played all of five professional games that is very impressive. Some of her struggles (such as the turnovers) are pretty much to be expected. The team had less than a month to gel and practice together...so it's not at all surprising that she and her teammates may be a bit out of sync and there's an expected adjustment period to a new league. At the same time, Caitlin needs to show some leadership by working with her teammates to either adjust her own gameplay (ie, not so many sudden, hard passes) or practice more with her teammates to improve that connection...this is part of being the leader/face of the franchise. However, that's not something that you expect any rookie to just jump into in the first month of the first season. Overall, Caitlin Clark isn't the female Michael Jordan but she is off to a very promising, strong start to her young career. Fully expect to see her shining by the end of the season and I expect (or at least hope) that the Fever will make moves in the offseason to build around her.
Stacey Dales Canadian legend.
After 11 games
Out of 128 players in league
per game stats
4th in Assists
11th Usage %
13th in Blocks
18th in scoring
27th Efficiency
30th in rebounds
30th in steals
47th player impact
top 10 in turnovers along with Arike Ogunbowale, Skylar, Diggins-Smith, Alyssa Thomas, Sabrina Ionescu, Dearica Hamby.
She had 1 month between NCAA Championship game and WNBA Game.
The other drafted players too.
Non stop media commitments and SNL tv show and shooting schedules
Player-coach?? Why not? Better than sitting her on the bench or playing her as the two guard.
Caitlyn looks about 10-15 lbs lighter. Of course she’s tired-probably exhausted.
Struggling? Not one bit. Look at her numbers she's scoring almost 1 point more per game then Taurasi did as a rookie, 91% from the line to T's 71%. The only thing Clark is behind in is turnovers. Her "team" is not good. They could have a few W's by now if she had some more help.
The great white hope has failed
You might be a failure. But you can turn it around keep hope alive.
She's struggling in the game!! She wasn't referring to offense, but she is. 5 and a10 turnover game.
Caitlin's early performance is only seen as subpar because she is being held to superstar standards. She is averaging a very solid 17pts a game, leads her team in pts & assists, etc. She also only had 5 weeks in between her NCAA semi-final game on April 7 & the start of the WNBA season on May 14, and that time was inundated with a volume of non-stop appearances that *none* of the other WNBA players or rookies had to deal with.
Stacy is that girl
She's playing the top 3 teams back to back. Sometimes she only has a 24hr gap between games. She has the most tough schedule and she has to play more than 30mins everytime and can't miss a game. Comparatively she has it difficult more than some rookies. Even mentally she has it tough that any other rookies in the WNBA.
Aside from the turnovers (some of which shouldn't be attributed to her), she's had a pretty great start...the team...yes struggling...but her personal numbers are great for a rookie.
"Aside from playing bad and losing every game, she's actually really good" ........ whut.......
@@doctoromega5051 She's played bad? Really?
@@swgroove You're telling me that 26 turnovers in 4 games, shooting 12-35 from 3, 21-51 from 2, and losing every game is not bad? If you don't think that's bad, then you're lowering the bar way too far for her...
Did you watch the games?
@@swgroove71 I've watched enough to know bad basketball when I see it.
Other teams are double teaming her and guarding her hard.
You are right.
Love hearing from Stacy!
Good thing it's an Olympic year and the wnba season will pause. She will get a break. At first I thought she should be on Team USA but there will be plenty of Olympics in her future. Right now she could use the rest.
only haters and racist are believing CC is struggling...in reality, she is doing fine for a rookie and is doing better than most wnba veterans LOL struggling players are associated with the majority of the veteran wnba players LOL
Remember this is WNBA's worst team.
Thank god social media didnt exist when magic and bird came i to the league. The daily insanity is crazy.
Caitlin isn’t used to playing prison bal or bully ball even the refs are ought to get her
Caitlin will be fine’
She has Never said anything bad about anyone!!!!!!
You grew up with her?
Yes she has. Cussing at the ref already and only 4 games in!!
@Ughhhha I have been following her since her freshman year at Iowa. She doesn't talk about what she does in the game but how the team did.
Stacey Dales was a BALLER!!
CC is getting mostly praise, and she deserves it. But she’s still a rookie, playing against the best of the best, and with a weak team. Defense was never her strong suit, and the Fever as a team play lousy defense. If they keep letting CC get crushed on picks and screens, she won’t last the season.
Taruasi was so smug in how she talked about wat she said bout Clark.
Taurasi is just pissed caues UConn no longer rules the Womens basketball world
The Bears were 7-10 and the Fever 13-27 not even close to comparable.
Stacey Dales is a legend
Caitlyn will put on some weight,toughen-up and quit letting the opponents man-handle her. It’s coming,have no doubt-
The Storm have BECER sold out their arena-NEVER. Yeah, it’s HER elevating the entire league. Shut up and enjoy the ride ladies-please quit trashing Caitlyn- what she has done has gotten people like me(never watched WNBA) locked on-watching every game I can find
Struggling? Lmao…yes 17 ppg., 6 assists, leading the league in 3 pointers made, 1 of 3 rookies EVER in the WNBA to have 50 plus points, 15 assists. DT never did it,…haha
"early wnba struggles" doesnt equate to being only the 3rd player in wnba history to score atleast 50 points in the first three games...you dont struggle and yet become only the third player in the wnba to score atleast 50 in its first three games...if anything, its the team and coaching and being the worst team in the wnba, not CC
You must not be actually watching the games
Let's compare her to Michael Jordan, he was rookie of the year in 1985, but his stats were nothing to write home about. Also, the bulls had a losing season and didn't get past the first round of the playoffs for 5 seasons. People have very short memories. Someone please name one of your GOATs that had a more than mediocre rookie year. I'll wait.
Cc over nver played against wnba all stars in her college career and beat them 4 times in row mj lead team USA .... u can't compare her to jordan
Jordan play defense ...cc defense is c
Bunch of clowns! Caitlin is doing great and getting better every day!!
How are bad statistics and losing every game playing well? I really don't get this.... I loved Maya Moore, Candace Parker, even back to the Cheryl Miller days... this BS hype around CC and Angel Reese is a joke.
@@doctoromega5051 losing every game ? ??????? Dude you do realize that they scheduled the Fever to play two of the best teams in the WNBA TWICE in the first week or so. Tell me when any other 1st round pick got drafted to one of the worst teams in the league and had to play two of the best teams in the league four times in the first week or so. I'll wait.
@@doctoromega5051 She went to the losingest team for several seasons, you expect her to make her team a winning team right from the first game?
Wembanyama got the NBA rookie of the year and his team's win record actually went no worse nor better from the previous season, it remained the same at 22 W - 60 L. there was even a point there where they lost 18 games in a row.
Michael Jordan had a 38-44 record with the Bulls in his rookie season in 1984-85, a losing record, he only improved the team's record a little bit from the previous season's 27W-55L. And they had 2 more losing season after that. The GOAT had 3 years of losing before they became a winning team and another 3 years for them to become a champion. Perspective, man!
She’s not struggling.
Struggles ???? She is averaging 17 PPG, 5 APG and 4.5 RPG
And 6.5 turnovers while shooting 41% from the field and 34% from the three with 8.8 3s attempted a game as well as playing terrible defense.
Struggles mainly due to coach!!!!
I sure do hope they win a game with all that hype she has lol
She'll be fine
Stacey knows what she's talking about, from experience.
2 weeks maybe a month not 2 months, she was playing in a w game, I’d like to see her in the Olympics, another change and a hard schedule, it’ll be tough!!
To show how out of Wack are all these Podcasts and Sports pundits . Here is the latest headline. The Rookie of the Year may be one of 3 players and one is not CC. but Kate, her friend. Really, a determination is made about Rookie of the year after 1 game. Side bar: I wanted to add just what determines who becomes Rookie of the Year. But I forgot. To me that is an example of the talking heads creating stories to just cause controversy. Whatever people are stating about how she is not living up to the hype is factually inaccurate. As of 3 days ago on the OFFICIAL WNBA statistic chart, she is the only ROOKIE out of the first 30 players at # 18. to make the chart. Taurasi who a 20-year pro is # 16. CC is also 1 3 pt basket behind Taurasi. The top 10 players are averaging between20 to 32 pts per game. CC is averaging 15.3. However, she has taken half as many shots and played have as many min. In assists she is in the top 7 and in Rebounds the top ten. In addition, the top ten players play on the top 4 teams. Under the guise of this is how rookies are treated when they come into the league, as the games go by The OLD PROS emphasis on OLD are resorting to mash mouth play. This may be because the rookies and 2- or 3-year players are faster and coming from a different style of play. The average WNBA pro has played between 7 and 20 years in the league. As a result of their diminishing skills, they have taken to playing street Basketball. The people who will not accept that role in which she is playing on the team is confusing, her. She does not know whether shoot or pass. What this causes is hesitation and that leads to a turnover. Also, coaching and the way the refs are calling the game are the elements contributing to her lack of success. It also appears some just to want ferment dislike toward CC. More folks other than I have noticed how many times she is open and is frozen out. It seems there are people on her own team who are making life difficult for her. If this dislike keeps up more and more people become less interested. It is a fact the majority of the new fans are white. You upset that fan base and bye, bye private jet, or exposure on You Tube as well as cancelled endorsements. Some will start yapping about Racism, but the fact remains the majority of the new fans coming out to see CC are white. It has nothing to do with race but what sells. And if a White girl can crush it in a sport dominated by people of color, then more white folks than ever will come out to watch. Take CC out of the equation what do you have. Another wonderful fine, smart, athletic group of women who excel at Basketball. Sorry to say but that's old news. The others are caught up in the draft The players who came before were just as good or better and it did not attract attention to the WNBA. So why? Was it again racism the reason why the WNBA was a joke. It was because they just didn't play good basketball. Thus, it was not entertaining. Thats not just my opinion. In addition, after all this adverse reporting, I wonder what will be tickets sales mid- season. WNBA players enjoy your brief moment in the sun because it may soon fade away.
Caleb is a horrible comparison to Caitlin
CC was tired last night, it shows in her shooting, but she will make up for that some with her feeds, rebounds, steals ect, ect, she’s played every other day for almost 2 weeks, back to back tonight, very little practice to get to know her teammates, trial by fire!!! She has handled it pretty well, and she was warned,
What were hearing sane takes about Caitlin Clark I’m truly shocked hey Stephen A skip bayless Kendrick Perkins Jason Whitlock mike Greenberg colin cowherd Keyshawn Johnson Shannon Sharpe watch this you may learn something
Where is Rich Eisen? This interviewer sounds like she is totally bored with this.
Logo Caitlin turning her ankle was probably due to her increasing fatigue. Hope she stays healthy. But if she goes down, I'm not watching WNBA.
The hype around Clark has begun to super exceed the ability. That's never been the case with Magic, Bird, MJ, SHAQ, LeBron etc. The shooting splits + efficiency are concerning.
Comparing someone's full season against 4 games with CC....ignorance.
Kobe Bryant avg. 4 pts his first 8 games.
@rcud1 I never mentioned Kobe. Anyone could tell within 5 secs Kobe was generational .. Clark has been overpromised + that Fever team STINKS!!! They are a hard watch. Jerry West, _The Logo,_ worked out Kobe for the draft at 17 and said Kobe had the best workout he'd ever seen. He dominated Michael Cooper like he was in middle school at that workout. Kobe was on a super short leash--barely 18. Clark is 22. Kobe was already an All Timer by then and a 🏆 Very small sample comp. Clark lacks the elite athleticism. Even Larry Bird was athletic.
@@DonKJB Blind as well as ignorant, well done!
Slow down with the assessments. Context is critical. Fever played against two of the toughest teams in the Eastern Conference - both being legit title contenders. A key takeaway is the Fever played better in the 2nd game of each head-to-head. That's rapid improvement - again, against fully loaded, excellent squads. Let's just see what the record is after playing each of the other 9 teams twice. The entire league, though loaded with talent, isn't as good as the Liberty, Sun and Aces. If after 22 games they have a terrible record, then bombs away. Regardless, that would also be nonsensical because the squad as currently constructed is not good (mainly, post play... Fever lacks size, length, athleticism and depth in the front court)
….and WHEN she gets acclimated-look out.
This girl is all offense and no defense at all. I mean her defense is horrible.
You have any stats to back up your claims?
@@nucl3arboNg You can simply google CC defense and see for yourself.
@@nucl3arboNg If you've been watching the games, you can clearly see that Clark is a liability on defense. Even Clark would admit that. She was weak on defense in college as well but could get away with it. She's gotten better since game 1 so hopefully she'll just keep getting better. ...Wait, were you joking?
She's terrible on defense!!
Defense is dumb anyways.
The nba season is 82 games.....the college season is 35 or so games and the wnba season is 40 games.....stop making excuses for her and tell her to play the game.....Clark is the most overhyped and overrated player ever but shes been good for womens basketball.....
it’s basketball… stop making excuses
Wow your still tired from a game from 2 months ago.
She has had a schedule that would tire anybody. She has practice, games, media appearances, signing autographs, public appearances on television from coast to coast.
When she goes out to eat, people interrupt her meal to talk and take pictures. If she's not perfect, she is criticized, and the pressure is enormous. I find it amazing that a young woman would be able to handle all of this. And you are shocked that she might be tired?😵💫
@@keiththompson5193 So what!! No more excuses.
@@markf.5551 no excuses at all. Her accountant is also real tired from counting all the money she’s making now
What struggles? 17 points a game.
In just 4 games.... 26 turnovers, 12-35 from 3, and 21-51 from 2, and losing every game is not good at all. Just tired of everyone making excuses for her when they don't do the same for ANY male athletes. It's an insane double-standard.

Stop hating
@@johndickson435 how is it the team’s fault when SHE turns the ball over? I guess it was the floor’s fault when she twisted her ankle.
@@anthonyriggins5281 Who said it was the teams fault ?? there is always someone that tries to change things that other people say. Also if you actually watch the games you will see that the passe's are spot on it's just that the players are not used to passes like this and lose control of the ball while her Iowa teammates were used to these kind of passes while the Fever players are just getting used to them. The turnovers will get better when her teammates get used to them.
Reese and others are having success. These are excuses. She was built up so she needs to hold up.
Reese play only in two games. CC has 5 games. CC is packing the house with 17,500 every game. Reese on 6,000 a game. Numbers don't look good for Reese.
Boycotting Fever games got change the machines agendas and propaganda numbers. She is not the only player Drafted yall are trying to rewrite history right before our eyes. This has gotta stop. Everybody didn't come for Clark. Already got media machine. Dont need me no more.
What are you crying 😢 about CC is packing the house with 17,500 fans a night. The wnba only gets about 5,000 a night. Reese games 6,200 a game and only has played two games. Fever has played 5 games
@jrcsvrvsc So you are telling me. That other teams don't have fans. That humans don't support their own city's. Everyone in the crowd was wearing a Clark jersey. WNBA picked the wrong face. Smart business is to support all faces. But a white girl gotta save the WNBA. Tell the other white player who's busted her up that.
Candace Parker won the NCAA championship her senior year and had to play two-months later in the WNBA. She won rookie of the year and league MVP her rookie year. Stop making excuses for Caitlin Clark.
Mya Moore also did well and she's Clark favorite player
And she played with Lisa Leslie and a team with experience. Nobody is saying Candace sucked nor are they making excuses for CC it's just what it is.
Candace Parker is 6'4". Caitlin practiced 2 wks not 2 mo b4 her 1st game. 3 starters did not play on the team last yr. Compare apples to apples please. TY
@lynnhazlewood9738 Candace Parker played in the 2008 NCAA women's basketball championship on April 8, and the WNBA season started on May 17th. So, Candace had the same amount of time to practice like Caitlin. Caitlin is a shooting guard who average 28 points/game in college, and I don't think the rim or ball changed.
@@JonJon-wf5yj Lisa Leslie was on her last leg. She retired the next year.
Of course they are, no one is not disappointed. The hype is rapidly dying
I honestly think Caitlin Clark at this point she just up and quit …… maybe start our own team and the WNBA in the black culture can totally support their own.
Indeed, starting out 0-4, apparently being a distraction for the Entire Team, horrible turnovers, hogging the BALL to get her SHOTS far too many times, etc, etc. So until her TEAM actually starts getting wins, it's going be more than just horrible.
Who is hogging the ball? CC?
Wrong and wrong I can tell you never watch her games, well done!
What a load of crap
@@JonJon-wf5yj Okay tell us how losing every single game makes her great....? Oh yeah, cuz the WNBA isn't about winning or team success, just the marketability of the individual.
@@doctoromega5051 I don't have enough crayons and time to sit and explain this to you.
They gotta stop trying to convince us she's playing better than she really is. She's lost literally every single game she's played and has had mediocre numbers AT BEST every game...yet we're still rewarding her.
mediocre numbers ??????How Caitlin Clark Ranks among the 144 players in the WNBA as of 5/20/24:
Mins played - 97 (5th)
Assists - 17 (2nd)
Rebounds - 13 (22nd)
Points - 51 (7th)
F T % - 100% (Tied 1st)
3 P M - 9 (1st)
F G M - 16 (13th)
EFF - 40 (18th
Now if you call that mediocre your either blind or a plane hater. And that doesn't even consider the last game against Conn were she scored another 17 points.
Only 2 other true rookies have had 50 pts and 15 assists in their first 3 games. Candace Parker and Sue Bird. But go off on your totally not race biased assessment Of the 22 y old woman named Caitlin Clark. We totally believe you you’re a doctor after all.
Wait a minute, having to play a game with only 2 mos off is exhausting try working a job 50-70 hours a week with no months off for 45-55 years then come holla at us junior
This woman knows nothing about the game. Why would you have someone who is absolutely clueless?
