Love Sue Bird. She’s so smart. The problems not CC, it’s the system or lack thereof. From what I’ve seen it’s complete chaos. I see why CC is frustrated with her coach.
The problem is you C.C fanboys and the media that can't handle the truth about Caitlin Clark. She has no defense and too many turnovers. Her 🏀 handling skills sucks!! She misses more 3's than she makes. Highest turnovers in the WNBA 0-5 🗑️👎 overrated hype job 😆🤣
She said “probably the most pressure of any woman coming into the wnba.” No, She 100% without question has the most pressure. No women’s basketball player, college or wnba has received this much publicity and media coverage.
@kevinwoody4967 I'm a Crimson Tide football girl. I'm new to watching Caitlin Clark/WNBA. Can she ask to be traded or could she have refused to go to the fever?
That’s not what she was saying yall don’t know ball fr Caitlyn needs to expand her game she is looking like a Kyle korver out there and she can’t move off ball she needs some time she’ll get it but don’t expect her to shoot 30x to get 30 points like she did in college
No its called fast turn around no off season no time for the team to build & honestly no one protecting their biggest asset & player. Its called team jealously the rest of the team doesn't have endorsement deals let alone worth nearly $50 million dollars like Clark does & while next year & even this season the team the players & the league clearly will enjoy massive cash increase & that means better travel better hotels more perks & better pay its all in the end Clark. It's clark being in 19,000 people to pay $75- 200 dollars a ticket & then paying another $75-100 for a jersey or something. Its not angel reese selling thousands of jeserys its clark. Its clark that signs autographs & takes pictures with fans its not griner or martin or cardoso or taurasi or sue bird or swoopes.
Caitlin announced she was going to going to enter the WNBA draft on Feb 28th, so Coach Sites had two full months to plan an offensive system around CC before training camp started and that clearly didn’t happen. Coach needs to go!
Well I'm glad one of the WNBA veterans came out and said something respectful about Caitlin Clark. The thing is though, when Larry Bird went to the Celtics, when Michael Jordan went to the Bulls and Magic went to the Lakers. The offenses were tweaked to fit their playing styles. Christie Sides doesn't seem to be making any adjustments Caitlin Clark.
For great shooters, having supreme confidence in their shooting ability, is the single most important ingredient in their on court success. Even for great shooters this confidence can be more fragile than their actual physical ability to shoot at an elite level. This confidence is totally critical to a shooter! And .... it can easily be undermined or actually destroyed by a coach/system that doesn't recognize, support, and adapt to best utilize this great talent. Far better to move a coach out ASAP than to totally destroy a superb shooters confidence before the loss of confidence becomes irreversible!
Of course it's going to be different than in Iowa. Because Iowa was custom built in system designed perfectly for her. Now she comes into the league and she is trying to fit in to a team that had started to build around their previous #1 draft pick, Aaliyah Boston. Boston and Clark are both new to the league. Boston only has had one season. They don't have top veterans helping them to grow. So yeah they are just going to have to keep working hard and figuring out what works best.
Yeap they didn't teach her no defense and really who did she play in Iowa other people like her. Her dad should have taken her to the hood where she could have learned or brought the hood to house so she could have learned all aspects of the game instead of just shooting.
Finished watching a couple W games and observed how one doesn’t see much double teaming. Unlike CC with the Fever. As soon as she crosses the mid court, she’s got in your face guarding throughout the time she’s handling the ball. What gives? This isn’t being done in the other games I’m watching. Not even close.
Its called defense, it's called defense, the purpose of the game is to score more points than the other team and to stop them from scoring points, the basic concept of any sport. So no, there are not going to let the "best player that has ever picked up a basketball" mosey on down the court and score a ton of points. Again, NOT COLLEGE any more!
This is the main reason she is having adjustment problems at the moment. For some reason defense in college sucked! Running plays; pick and roll, pick and pop, give and go was not part of Iowa's arsenal, therefore, CC will have to adjust to the new game plan. There is no need to call out the coach, coaches, nor refs to justify her transition into the W
The problem is that you all propped her up as white Jesus while dismissing how good the rest of the WNBA is. She's playing the best players in womens basketball. Y'all should have let her develop into greatness instead of diminishing all the other incredible women.
CC has to adjust no one is gonna just let her run off screens and shoot the ball. She has to learn how to create her own shot. Iowa was built for her it's not gonna be that way in WNBA. Hopefully she'll figure it out but it's not gonna be easy because she can't jump she's basically a standstill shooter.
Everyone the media thought she was going in to Dominate and she has not yet. That’s a lot of pressure on her. For some it takes a while. Everyone thought Angel was going to fail and she’s Dominating. Be careful folks how you down some and not others. I’m just saying
I find it interesting that while she is promoting a documentary on her lifes success in Basketball she is also promoting transgender females playing in women's sports. Does this mean that she doesn't really care about the women trying to make a career in basketball going forward, and is she just interested in her own success? Pretty hypocritical!
The Excuses is crazy,the young lady needs time to develop,its new for her,let me say it slow,The Players are Bigger, Stronger,Faster like in every other Sport when you make the Transition get over yourselves and let the Girl grow at her own pace,yall want her to succeed for the wrong reasons thats why it wont happen for her that Way.
Caitlin is playing with a bunch of shitty players. If she had even one really good player who could yell at her teammates and tell them to move and run maybe things would be better. Plus, I've watched games in this league for years. I have never seen a player be guarded like Caitlin has. And once again, they can stay on her the lenth of the court and double team her when she hits the top of the key because her teammates just stand around and do nothing to help her. You have to really feel sorry for her. She is just being smothered. Like I said, I've never seen anybody being attacked like Clark has been.
Totally different team & offense different coach and I believe she was nervous out there and pressing & over thinking…Now if we’re 25games in & their 6-19 and she’s averaging 13points 2rebs & 2asst on 37fg% and high in turnovers there’s a problem…She needs to just let the game come to her & be a complete guard & have also a mid range game
What she’s really adjusting to is her new team that happens to be the worst in the league. And Sue isn’t completely accurate. Caitlyn had plenty of WNBA players questioning her talent. Caitlyn’s frustration is recognizing the bone headed way her team is coached and plays.
The statement "Nobody gives me advice in the game, I wish" highlights a lack of coaching and communication among the players. For example, if a coach sees their star player being shut down, they should call a timeout to make some adjustments on the screens, allowing the player to gain an advantage and score more points. Instead, this coach wants her to pass the ball to players who gave up on turnovers and didn’t deliver, taking her out of her natural flow seen in other games. Caitlin Clark is understandably frustrated. The coach has created a negative vibe from the beginning among the players. The Indiana Fever needs a more experienced coach to compete against tougher opponents and improve their standing as the worst team in the league. The opposing teams have better coaching, and the Fever was outcoached. Caitlin Clark struggled all night with the blitz, a defensive tactic in basketball where the ball handler is double-teamed during a screen to force a turnover and disrupt the offense. Blitzes can be applied in both full and half-court settings, often used against star players to neutralize their impact. It’s starting to look as if it’s purpose to disrupt the rookie’s psychologically to chill out her fans. That coach hates the attention that this player is receiving because she is threatened so she keeps her on the floor in vulnerable situations to prove a point. Her coach does not have Carlin’s best interest. She looking to remove her morale compass and we started seeing this in her last game against sky. Eventually Catlin will not be herself on or off the court if the Indiana league doesn’t step in soon. That Shine is destroying the club. No
CC has to deal with pressure on and off the Court she had to deal with the expectations to be an elite player cc will come out on top of all that is happening in her life
I just watched film of how other top players having lots of space. So, if she needed to adapt, why smother? Is that on purpose from the veterans or are they scared of her scoring on them?
Because with normal wnba players you can give some space and know they won’t shoot it from that far out . . . But with Caitlin you gotta guard as soon as she crosses half court.
Well Clark Don t have space because being a professional the players know something call defense . Playing defense dumbasses mean I not supposed to let you score or make it hard for you to score. Unfortunately for her in first two games she played four players that been on the all defensive teams for the last five years.. Clark got skills I will give her that but why she is listening to people on social media that can’t play basketball or play dead with acting lessons is crazy .. sue bird and tarsus was trying to warn her if she wants to be a champion she will have to learn other things in basketball then just scoring.. besides didn’t she try all the scoring in two college championship games if I remember correctly that didn’t work out too good for her.
The coach got there a little before Aliyah Boston got there they both only been there a season Sides maybe 2.. it’s 2 games in.. Give the team time to gel.. she did go from NCAA to WNBA in a matter of weeks..
If turasi or bird walked by me on the street I wouldn’t even know who they were! Most people cannot even tell you the name of their WNBA team or if they even have a team! Most people couldn’t even name three players in the WNBA.
Her team is shyt but let's be honest what other rookie is being double and triple teamed. And we don't care about what yall went through because everyone of yall veterans are re camping what yall said
It IS!!!!! They have finished last for two seasons in a row!! They play NO defense, and they have nobody to get rebounds or block shots. They are not using Aliya Boston the way they should. They should adopt the offense that Iowa used, where Clark passed it to their center and she just laid it up. I know it's not as easy to do this in the pros, but they have to try something different or they won't win a game!!
It always takes time! And the narrative is always wrong. She was the best college player of all time. And now she is adjusting. Important is the team to giet her to her spots. She will be the rookie of the year. The narrative will change.
That really gets me - just because it has always has happened - it always will. they just don't want anyone to be the exception - that's sad, put her down from the start, if you give support she could be the exception, they say the same about American football players from collage to the pro's - my answer to that would be - Brock Purdy - who was given the right support - 1st year championship - 2nd year Superbowl - but from out side the team he got - SO MUCH HATE - they wanted him to Fail, all the pro's want to put themselves above all else,
Some of the stuff the coach says seems common sense, but listening to people who pay attention to basketball, it seems Caitlin is being used wrongly and she doesn't have much help. The league seemed to make the decision to shut Caitlyn down early with a front-loaded schedule. I don't think the WNBA wanted this kinda spotlight; with all the bad coaching, bad attitudes, calling the excited new fans dumb for wanting what they want. It's still garbage. They need 12 Caitlyn Clarks to bring enough excitement to this league to make it sustainable.
This is pure damage control by Bird. If she and her pet dinosaur had said things like this in the first place a lot of this pettiness would have been avoided. ...but, no, the dinosaur had to say "After I won three national championships." The dinosaur did not win three national championships, she was on a team that would have won three just fine without her. Hell, my dog could have sat on the bench in the dinosaur's spot and UCon still would have won those championship and my dog would have three rings. Caitlin, on the other hand, literally pulled her team to the Final two years in a row. When Bluder recruited Caitlin she told her, "All we need is you."
We know it’s gonna take time for Caitlin but her teammates have to help her they are not. Thank you Sue Bird for saying Caitlin is under a lot of pressure and she must be great no she does not Caitlin has to adjust to the WNBA but Christie has to play her right with her teammates or she’s not gonna be happy. She wants to win but Indiana might not be the right fit for her maybe she needs to go to another team Lisa Bluder is still working for the Hawkeyes behind the senses. Lisa Bluder makes a million a year Christie Sides makes 500,000 I think the whole team needs a wake up call and say grow up and stop thinking about yourself Caitlin does not play like that she humble she’s not a selfish lady at all.
How she was double and triple teamed, even locked down by 2 or 3 actually shows how much they fear her skill.. She has a huge target on her back and she will need the team to relieve some pressure.. She can't do it by herself.. That's why they call it a team..
You’re the great sue! But she’s putting points up! Hasn’t played long everyone just calm down. Boston needs to run not sure if Boston likes that. The transition game tho huge
I believe theres alot of talented of rookies rn, but the pressure on her shoulders has got to be insane, not to mention being a #1 pick your going to a shit organization, shes faced the BEST defensive team and a WNBA RUNNER UP CHAMP back to back, and there schedule is set up against the craziest teams in the leauge talent wise and im sure people love aeeing her struggle but its unfair the pressurw she goes thru and all the trash talked about her, if she left the game and it went back to what it ust to be i wouldnr be surprised
Really, nobody mentions The Fever are the worst team in the league? That's how you get a 1st round draft pick, plus they got a new coach. It ain't realistic to think the worst team could come in and start beating the 2 best defensive teams in the league.
Let me applaud you . Out of rest of imbecile on the page you are another person besides myself that know players in the wmba can play defense. Those two teams just show Clark the levels to the game that taurasi was trying to warn her about.
Its not just only Talking about It, It was the way It was said.. It was said sarcásticually , It was said with irony behind It comments.. thats what people IS talking about.. It was like no White girl IS going to come in the League and out plays any black WNBA veteron..
No one said that, but you. The narrative going around is that Clark is better than ALL the veterans, even the white ones. Did you see the two white women on the Liberty team that were shooting 3s against Caitlin's team and also in Caitlin's face left and right? No one said that Caitlin wasn't a good player. What is being said is that she is being overly hyped up by the media and her obsessed fans as the top woman's player in the world and these two games unfortunately proved that this simply is just not true.
Oh cmon don’t over analyze if the the WNBA players can’t see what CC has brought to the game with young kids filling stadiums again then the owners better sit their players down either embrace what’s happening or leave!
Ok it's not going well for the great white hope people are talking about putting the blame on the coach that is bs the truth is that she is not a goat okay and her team just is not good
I don't care what Shine says. Watch her body language when a reporter asks about Caitlin Clark. She may say all the right things, but her tight demeanor tells a different story. I believe she is colluding with the players to sabotage Caitlin Clark and needs to be removed from the coaching staff immediately before it escalates.
I blame the refs for allowing the players to beat on Caitlin. The refs were better in their last game than they have all the others. I hope it continues...it is basketball not football.
Seems like Caitlin Clark may be a little overrated being given an exaggerated talent I noticed that she always tries to run behind a pic to get her shut off as if she can't get her shot off unless she has somebody to block for her to go behind so that she can shoot that doesn't seem like a really talented basketball player all the basketball players I've ever seen they shooting jump and elevate over you and shoot over you they don't need no pic to shoot the basketball with you seems like Caitlin Clark can't shoot unless she has a pic to run behind so that the defender came play in front of her I can't defend her where is Kaitlyn's clogged one on one game her offense against the defensive player seems like she always need a screen or a pic in order to shoot the ball I'm just saying can a person really be called good if they can't shoot unless they get a screen or a pic from their teammate, I saw Angel Reese and she didn't have to have a screen or pick she rebounds the ball up under the backboard with the bigs and she goes right back up in front of the bigs up under the backboard and shootsnow that's good but then that's Angel Reese I don't know if Caitlin Clark is made up like Angel Reese and has the ability to jump in the ability that's what I'm talking about the jumping ability that's why Caitlin Clark always need a screen or a pic to get her shot off that's not a good player that's a player who can't jump
It's a Reality These are Professional Women Athletes.. The Weight is on Her.. Hopefully she will Get an opportunity to Relax As The Season progress.. Again Thanks to CC and Angel Reese they flying private Jets.. All 👀's on WNBA which means Revenue for Everyone..😅
From what I’ve seen her team is just not that good so it’s going to be a full time struggle. Looks like her coach could be a micro manager type as well. Hopefully someone in their management steps in if it gets out of control
The joy for the #1 pick is fighting for last place in the WNBA. Fever got #1 pick because they are so bad. So turn CC lose! Put two players to shadow her and interfer with the defense. Put the other two under the hoop for offensive rebounds and put-backs. Fans what to see how CC played in college. Let her run the show. Tell the coach to sit down, she is a loser.
No the problem is jealousy & planning. Clark played the finals again South Caroline & a week later was the draft. Then within like 2 weeks of the draft was the first pre-season game which I believe was 2 no more then 4 & then the start of the regular season. Throw in to that the entire current & past wnba players like bird jealous of not being able to sell $2 million dollars in ticket in a single season let alone in the entire history of the wnba & yet clark comes in & any game the fever & clark are in are selling out to the tune of nearly $2 million a game even the worst team in the league when playing Clark & the Fever is selling 19,000 plus seats in tickets which no other current or past player or team can do unless they're playing clark. Bird is a jealous immature joke just like the rest. Sue didn't draw19,000 to a game once let alone each game. It's because of these two big games against the fever & clark selling record tickets that the league can now talk about charter planes for all 12 teams. It's not Bird or Griner or Taurasi or Reese or Cardoso certainly wasn't swoopes...
Stop, Sue Bird. Everything you just told was not true. Anyone can go back and see or read all she just said starting this video was a whale of a story. It was said about Clark when playing in the WNBA would not be like playing with 18-year-old (which that was not true as a whole), she would not have the success like in college with her play (really, in under 10 games being a pinball by the players and double team her stats are climbing towards the best in WNBA), and no one though (even herself) she would not have growing pains playing in the WNBA (that was stupid anyone thinking that who knows sports). The truth would be how she is seeing her team not really helping her along with the coach Sides. She is trying to be a teammate with teammates that seem not to want her because of rest of the other players not wanting her. There has been one person in the league that should be on their team and that is Seattle. It would seem what that team's coach said about Clark a few weeks back was a coach who could and maybe be more towards having her back. Sides do not have Clarks back, her teammates in these games do not have her back, and the other players talk nothing good about Clark more wanting to hurt her with cheap shots. What is worse would be the refs do not want her either with this lack of foul calling on other players and calls on her. The true fact to present the WNBA does not want Clark by the actions presented not by me but by the legions of the NBA players, many spoke persons on TH-cam on sports, and people fans of basketball. Who has been haters are talk show host really knowing nothing of the game, other women players, and anyone believing this Sue Bird interview, which I did like Bird till recently. I like her play in the sport just not her backlash to Clark not wanting to lose favor of her fellow players.

Yep. That's exactly what I was thinking
Total realization.. except for a trade getting the first pick means a terrible team

Caitlin announced she was going to going to enter the WNBA draft on Feb 28th, so Coach Sites had two full months to plan an offensive system around CC before training camp started and that clearly didn’t happen. Coach needs to go!
Iowa was setting picks so she could get loose and shoot. CC's players are just standing around.

Breaking in with Fever has got to be a challenge.
It's not growing pains. Teammates can't keep up with her pace.
Saying she needs time is BS. CC needs to play the 1. Wheeler and Boston need benched, but it wont happen because Sides SUCKS.
Of course it's going to be different than in Iowa. Because Iowa was custom built in system designed perfectly for her. Now she comes into the league and she is trying to fit in to a team that had started to build around their previous #1 draft pick, Aaliyah Boston. Boston and Clark are both new to the league.

WOW! Thanks, Sue, the magician, Bird!
Yeah it take time she right.
What she’s really adjusting to is her new team that happens to be the worst in the league. And Sue isn’t completely accurate. Caitlyn had plenty of WNBA players questioning her talent. Caitlyn’s frustration is recognizing the bone headed way her team is coached and plays.
I wonder what she’s got to say why the other rookies are doing just fine
Because they're on better teams. 1st pick goes to the 💩 team.
The other players are not the all time leading scorers in NCAA history.
None of the other rookies came close to Caitlin's offensive stats...
They’re not playin Caitlin style of basketball. She seems to be competing with the other guards on her team that want to be the stars.
The statement "Nobody gives me advice in the game, I wish" highlights a lack of coaching and communication among the players.

The opposing teams have better coaching, and the Fever was outcoached. Caitlin Clark struggled all night with the blitz, a defensive tactic in basketball where the ball handler is double-teamed during a screen to force a turnover and disrupt the offense. Blitzes can be applied in both full and half-court settings, often used against star players to neutralize their impact. It’s starting to look as if it’s purpose to disrupt the rookie’s psychologically to chill out her fans. That coach hates the attention that this player is receiving because she is threatened so she keeps her on the floor in vulnerable situations to prove a point. Her coach does not have Carlin’s best interest. She looking to remove her morale compass and we started seeing this in her last game against sky. Eventually Catlin will not be herself on or off the court if the Indiana league doesn’t step in soon. That Shine is destroying the club. No
Just let her play every thing will work out for her she’s just too good and she’ll figure it out she’s a great player and very intelligent
Blame the MEDIA for any Overreaction... ijs
And her insane fans for thinking that the WNBA was just a bunch of scrubs that she'd walk all over.
She’s playing for the Washington Generals
It's going to take time for her
She's now in the pros
Great offensive player but have to learn defense
Indiana Fever is not the place for her. PERIOD.
she's played 2 games...... she will settle in and then put up the numbers.
CC has to deal with pressure on and off the Court she had to deal with the expectations to be an elite player cc will come out on top of all that is happening in her life
oh we feel so sorry for poor Caitlin!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
😂😂
@gr5382
Sarcasm
@gr5382
If you got sarcasm.. then you can figure out the “we” part!!
😂😂😂
@gr5382 Yeah right
I just watched film of how other top players having lots of space. So, if she needed to adapt, why smother? Is that on purpose from the veterans or are they scared of her scoring on them?
Exactly. They are afraid
Because with normal wnba players you can give some space and know they won’t shoot it from that far out . . . But with Caitlin you gotta guard as soon as she crosses half court.
Well Clark Don t have space because being a professional the players know something call defense . Playing defense dumbasses mean I not supposed to let you score or make it hard for you to score. Unfortunately for her in first two games she played four players that been on the all defensive teams for the last five years.. Clark got skills I will give her that but why she is listening to people on social media that can’t play basketball or play dead with acting lessons is crazy .. sue bird and tarsus was trying to warn her if she wants to be a champion she will have to learn other things in basketball then just scoring.. besides didn’t she try all the scoring in two college championship games if I remember correctly that didn’t work out too good for her.
@@larryhinton991 To be fair the world ain’t ever seen Caitlin on a great team before
Bro what yall sound stupid scared to let somebody score. lol yall want her to have it easy lmao yall don’t know basketball
Very curious to see what’s the game plan for Saturday game from the coach! Is it a make or break it for Sides?
Two games into a 40 game season and yall calling for the coach head. Smh...
The coach got there a little before Aliyah Boston got there they both only been there a season Sides maybe 2.. it’s 2 games in.. Give the team time to gel.. she did go from NCAA to WNBA in a matter of weeks..
MEANWHILE... Caitlin Clark is doing to the WNBA exactly what she did to the NCAAW... #MWBG - Making Women's Basketball GREAT!
If turasi or bird walked by me on the street I wouldn’t even know who they were! Most people cannot even tell you the name of their WNBA team or if they even have a team! Most people couldn’t even name three players in the WNBA.
Her team is shyt but let's be honest what other rookie is being double and triple teamed. And we don't care about what yall went through because everyone of yall veterans are re camping what yall said
It IS!!!!! They have finished last for two seasons in a row!! They play NO defense, and they have nobody to get rebounds or block shots. They are not using Aliya Boston the way they should. They should adopt the offense that Iowa used, where Clark passed it to their center and she just laid it up. I know it's not as easy to do this in the pros, but they have to try something different or they won't win a game!!
"4x wnba superstar legend, sue bird"
It always takes time! And the narrative is always wrong. She was the best college player of all time. And now she is adjusting. Important is the team to giet her to her spots. She will be the rookie of the year. The narrative will change.
That really gets me - just because it has always has happened - it always will. they just don't want anyone to be the exception - that's sad, put her down from the start, if you give support she could be the exception, they say the same about American football players from collage to the pro's - my answer to that would be - Brock Purdy - who was given the right support - 1st year championship - 2nd year Superbowl - but from out side the team he got - SO MUCH HATE - they wanted him to Fail, all the pro's want to put themselves above all else,
Go no coach, just let em straight up ball.
Sabrina in the post game interview says it best Caitlin has what it takes to not let early struggles bother them.
Some of the stuff the coach says seems common sense, but listening to people who pay attention to basketball, it seems Caitlin is being used wrongly and she doesn't have much help. The league seemed to make the decision to shut Caitlyn down early with a front-loaded schedule. I don't think the WNBA wanted this kinda spotlight; with all the bad coaching, bad attitudes, calling the excited new fans dumb for wanting what they want. It's still garbage. They need 12 Caitlyn Clarks to bring enough excitement to this league to make it sustainable.
This is pure damage control by Bird. If she and her pet dinosaur had said things like this in the first place a lot of this pettiness would have been avoided. ...but, no, the dinosaur had to say "After I won three national championships." The dinosaur did not win three national championships, she was on a team that would have won three just fine without her. Hell, my dog could have sat on the bench in the dinosaur's spot and UCon still would have won those championship and my dog would have three rings. Caitlin, on the other hand, literally pulled her team to the Final two years in a row. When Bluder recruited Caitlin she told her, "All we need is you."
It seems they need to play her at the one. That way she can create for herself and her teammates.
We know it’s gonna take time for Caitlin but her teammates have to help her they are not. Thank you Sue Bird for saying Caitlin is under a lot of pressure and she must be great no she does not Caitlin has to adjust to the WNBA but Christie has to play her right with her teammates or she’s not gonna be happy. She wants to win but Indiana might not be the right fit for her maybe she needs to go to another team Lisa Bluder is still working for the Hawkeyes behind the senses. Lisa Bluder makes a million a year Christie Sides makes 500,000 I think the whole team needs a wake up call and say grow up and stop thinking about yourself Caitlin does not play like that she humble she’s not a selfish lady at all.
I like Sue ❤
The BD want to see her fail and back to begging and complaining they ain’t getting paid enough
You're right.
Not so much what you said! It’s how you said it!
I think it is the way it was said, that sounds bad and jelousy among wnba players, so the fans reacted.
Sue bird is full of it
Jason Whitrock was exactly right. Clark should just drop out. Go home and call it a career. The WNBA is a circus not a basketball team.
Right on. NBA player have several months of practice from college to pros. WNBA only had a few weeks. It takes time.
You mean, what Taurasi said?
What so shocking about this post nothing click baiting is real 😊😊😂
How can anyone compare WNBA to NBA? Coach and current and past player's envy her! Especially DT!!
How she was double and triple teamed, even locked down by 2 or 3 actually shows how much they fear her skill.. She has a huge target on her back and she will need the team to relieve some pressure.. She can't do it by herself.. That's why they call it a team..
Well said!
I think new coach after team goes 2-38
You’re the great sue! But she’s putting points up! Hasn’t played long everyone just calm down. Boston needs to run not sure if Boston likes that. The transition game tho huge
I believe theres alot of talented of rookies rn, but the pressure on her shoulders has got to be insane, not to mention being a #1 pick your going to a shit organization, shes faced the BEST defensive team and a WNBA RUNNER UP CHAMP back to back, and there schedule is set up against the craziest teams in the leauge talent wise and im sure people love aeeing her struggle but its unfair the pressurw she goes thru and all the trash talked about her, if she left the game and it went back to what it ust to be i wouldnr be surprised
😅😂😂😂angel ,brinks all dogged that #1 pick high profiles attention
If shoots the ball better, it will make everything else better. It is as simple as that.q
Mate Martin is t going thru that Cameron brink is t targeted like clark
Really, nobody mentions The Fever are the worst team in the league?
That's how you get a 1st round draft pick, plus they got a new coach.
It ain't realistic to think the worst team could come in and start beating the 2 best defensive teams in the league.
Let me applaud you . Out of rest of imbecile on the page you are another person besides myself that know players in the wmba can play defense. Those two teams just show Clark the levels to the game that taurasi was trying to warn her about.
Its not just only Talking about It,
It was the way It was said.. It was said sarcásticually , It was said with irony behind It comments.. thats what people IS talking about..
It was like no White girl IS going to come in the League and out plays any black WNBA veteron..
No one said that, but you. The narrative going around is that Clark is better than ALL the veterans, even the white ones. Did you see the two white women on the Liberty team that were shooting 3s against Caitlin's team and also in Caitlin's face left and right? No one said that Caitlin wasn't a good player. What is being said is that she is being overly hyped up by the media and her obsessed fans as the top woman's player in the world and these two games unfortunately proved that this simply is just not true.
Oh cmon don’t over analyze if the the WNBA players can’t see what CC has brought to the game with young kids filling stadiums again then the owners better sit their players down either embrace what’s happening or leave!
Ok it's not going well for the great white hope people are talking about putting the blame on the coach that is bs the truth is that she is not a goat okay and her team just is not good
The Fever will set a record of the total game loss this season: 0-40
That’s the Truth Caitlin Crybabies!!!!!!!!!!😆😆
I don't care what Shine says. Watch her body language when a reporter asks about Caitlin Clark. She may say all the right things, but her tight demeanor tells a different story. I believe she is colluding with the players to sabotage Caitlin Clark and needs to be removed from the coaching staff immediately before it escalates.
Everybody seems to forget the Fever is the worst team in the league which is why two years in a row they got to make the number 1 draft pick.
I blame the refs for allowing the players to beat on Caitlin. The refs were better in their last game than they have all the others. I hope it continues...it is basketball not football.
2 games 😂😂 growing pains? First game 20pts which was top 5 in the whole league 😂
10 turnovera
@TyStreets34 it's the wnba 🤣 turnover city
The fans need to dial back and stop pointing fingers at other players thinking they’re hating on this young lady!
Seems like Caitlin Clark may be a little overrated being given an exaggerated talent I noticed that she always tries to run behind a pic to get her shut off as if she can't get her shot off unless she has somebody to block for her to go behind so that she can shoot that doesn't seem like a really talented basketball player all the basketball players I've ever seen they shooting jump and elevate over you and shoot over you they don't need no pic to shoot the basketball with you seems like Caitlin Clark can't shoot unless she has a pic to run behind so that the defender came play in front of her I can't defend her where is Kaitlyn's clogged one on one game her offense against the defensive player seems like she always need a screen or a pic in order to shoot the ball I'm just saying can a person really be called good if they can't shoot unless they get a screen or a pic from their teammate, I saw Angel Reese and she didn't have to have a screen or pick she rebounds the ball up under the backboard with the bigs and she goes right back up in front of the bigs up under the backboard and shootsnow that's good but then that's Angel Reese I don't know if Caitlin Clark is made up like Angel Reese and has the ability to jump in the ability that's what I'm talking about the jumping ability that's why Caitlin Clark always need a screen or a pic to get her shot off that's not a good player that's a player who can't jump
It's a Reality These are Professional Women Athletes.. The Weight is on Her.. Hopefully she will Get an opportunity to Relax As The Season progress.. Again Thanks to CC and Angel Reese they flying private Jets..
All 👀's on WNBA which means Revenue for Everyone..😅
From what I’ve seen her team is just not that good so it’s going to be a full time struggle. Looks like her coach could be a micro manager type as well. Hopefully someone in their management steps in if it gets out of control
1 month ago?
🔥
Didn't Clark jsut break the record for a rookie scoring in the first ten games? wtf is this chick talking about?
We doubt that she is going to make it with this team and this coach...the chemistry just isn't there
Another reach 😂
The joy for the #1 pick is fighting for last place in the WNBA. Fever got #1 pick because they are so bad. So turn CC lose!
Put two players to shadow her and interfer with the defense. Put the other two under the hoop for offensive rebounds and put-backs.
Fans what to see how CC played in college. Let her run the show. Tell the coach to sit down, she is a loser.
Kate
No the problem is jealousy & planning. Clark played the finals again South Caroline & a week later was the draft. Then within like 2 weeks of the draft was the first pre-season game which I believe was 2 no more then 4 & then the start of the regular season. Throw in to that the entire current & past wnba players like bird jealous of not being able to sell $2 million dollars in ticket in a single season let alone in the entire history of the wnba & yet clark comes in & any game the fever & clark are in are selling out to the tune of nearly $2 million a game even the worst team in the league when playing Clark & the Fever is selling 19,000 plus seats in tickets which no other current or past player or team can do unless they're playing clark. Bird is a jealous immature joke just like the rest. Sue didn't draw19,000 to a game once let alone each game. It's because of these two big games against the fever & clark selling record tickets that the league can now talk about charter planes for all 12 teams. It's not Bird or Griner or Taurasi or Reese or Cardoso certainly wasn't swoopes...
I don't understand why people are giving a pass to the WNBA players anger with CC . . . it's obvious they are deeply jealous of her fame and fortune.
Shouldn't you rename your Channel as you seem to specialize in videos dealing with Caitlin Clark?
Stop, Sue Bird. Everything you just told was not true. Anyone can go back and see or read all she just said starting this video was a whale of a story. It was said about Clark when playing in the WNBA would not be like playing with 18-year-old (which that was not true as a whole), she would not have the success like in college with her play (really, in under 10 games being a pinball by the players and double team her stats are climbing towards the best in WNBA), and no one though (even herself) she would not have growing pains playing in the WNBA (that was stupid anyone thinking that who knows sports). The truth would be how she is seeing her team not really helping her along with the coach Sides. She is trying to be a teammate with teammates that seem not to want her because of rest of the other players not wanting her. There has been one person in the league that should be on their team and that is Seattle. It would seem what that team's coach said about Clark a few weeks back was a coach who could and maybe be more towards having her back. Sides do not have Clarks back, her teammates in these games do not have her back, and the other players talk nothing good about Clark more wanting to hurt her with cheap shots. What is worse would be the refs do not want her either with this lack of foul calling on other players and calls on her. The true fact to present the WNBA does not want Clark by the actions presented not by me but by the legions of the NBA players, many spoke persons on TH-cam on sports, and people fans of basketball. Who has been haters are talk show host really knowing nothing of the game, other women players, and anyone believing this Sue Bird interview, which I did like Bird till recently. I like her play in the sport just not her backlash to Clark not wanting to lose favor of her fellow players.
