- THIS Is How The Indiana Fever TOTALLY DEFEATED The Phoenix Mercury In The First Half.
In the Indiana Fever’s last game against the Phoenix Mercury, Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and company had AMAZING games. Caitlin Clark recorded 20 points, 13 assists, and 6 rebounds. Although the Indiana Fever nearly lost this game in the second half, in the first half, Indiana did nearly everything right. How did they do it? In this video I break it down.

Typical great analysis. Two observations (much from watching CC for years now): Good things happen when Caitlin drives and gets layups. Entirely opens up the rest of her game and relieves pressure to make her 3's; Pushing the pace adds to TEAM assists, not just Caitlin assists. When the rest of the team is doing the extra pass and moving the ball they are at their most dangerous- they can beat anyone.
The fact that they scored 95 points in spite of a horrible fourth quarter and bad 3 pt. shooting night shows their potential. If they could ever play well for four quarters, they'd score over 100 points a game.
110 pts
You are a great analyst and YES we want to know what happened in the second half!!!
Sides is what happened. She has no clue how to call plays & for some reason she stops what is working
Dude, what you are doing is incredible. I hope you get noticed and picked up by a major network because this analysis is really what people like me love.
Thanks! Maybe one day 🤞
Totally agree with you. When the pace is pushed by Caitlin, their opponents are unprepared. The Fever team needs to be fit and be able to run like Caitlin for the entire 40mins. If they can maintain that pace, they will surprise everyone. This means that Wheeler should not be handling the ball..
They need a longer bench for energy too.
I really like your take on you liking Caitlin go to the hoop because it will give her more space to shoot the 3s, I never thought of that.
AR upset losing her streak. CC pounded her chair upset her team is losing their 31 point lead. AR cares about herself, Cc cares about her team.
You do such a great job explaining things. I'm "sports illiterate" and yes, came to WNBA because of CC but now am thoroughly enjoying getting to learn more about all the great players and other teams. The way you analyze and show the specific plays is so helpful!
You are more professional and objetive than those WOKE people from ESPN👍👍👍 keep going like this little brothe
@@santiagosanchez602 Nothing wrong with being woke (alert / aware), but I have learned more from Convo With Carter than I ever knew about basketball. He is better than all others and does not beg for Likes and Clicks.
Thanks for the compliments! I’m glad these videos are helpful!
The Fever are becoming a dangerous team
They are a scary team until Sides starts making stupid decisions
When they’re switched on, they’re unstoppable. They definitely need consistency though.
Smith’s shooting form is horrible. That technique does not yield a high percentage shot.
Only if their Coach allows it.
are we talking about a team that lost to Mystics? or the same team that barely won against Mercury while 6 of its top rosters were injured?
I subscribed in anticipation of the second half analysis. Carter you are one of my favorite channels on WNBA out there!
I love your work bro. No one is better.
I really like when Clark gets aggressive and drives the ball. If she starts with that mindset she will open up the distance game even more.
I get the feeling one of these games she's just going to go off like in college.
She's going to go for like 40 and 9, and the haters are gonna have to just
Shut. Up.
Thanks man! I agree with you. It’s coming…
Thanks for the wonderful analysis. The Fever should capitalize on the running game. Every Fever player should be a better runner than they are now. And what I mean by that is running stamina, not short distances but over a long period of time; enough time to exhaust the other team. The off season will be telling! Which players, when the 2025 season training camp starts, will be a better runner than she is now? The more that each Fever player can run the more points. I hope the coaching staff makes a point of this. None of the Fever players can run as fast as Clark. The Fever have the possibility of running every WNBA team into the ground. Running should be a recruiting requirement.
Great take Carter, you are definitely right with your take on the speed the Fever need to play at and it shows how dangerous the Fever is when they are executing the high-tempo game. What was amazing about the first half was the Fever players had smiles on their faces, and they were actually enjoying the game.
wish Sides was watching for that. and noticing when the smiles disappeared. hint: they were playing Sides's way. and falling behind.
Fever GM said CC needs to adjust !!! CC needs to adjust??? LOSING 31POINTS in 4th and CC NEEDS to ADJUST???🤪🤪🤪
Fever GM needs to be fired for that stupid comment.
hard for CC to adjust when sides n wheeler take her out of the game flow in the 4th qtr - CC will work on what needs to but she can't overcome sides ineptitude
The team's success shows your analysis vindicated.
Props.
Love watching your analysis on the fever.. Hoping in the 2nd part of this analysis you bring up Erica wheeler in the sixth minute of the first quarter how she misses a 3 then gets the rebound and blows past an open Caitlin who shrugges her shoulders then erica goes to the spot where Caitlin was and misses another 3pointer and then the coach runs the team under the bus in the postgame interview 😅
Please post your analysis on the 4th. I appreciate your very logical takes.
The first half that Indiana played is championship caliber , starting late second half they team played like a team that missed the playoff. I’m not sure if it’s the team or the coaching staff. The coaching staff is responsible for as much as player. If the team is having chemistry you don’t change what’s working! It goes for anything in life. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”
She's probably a liberal "progressive".
I feel like the running propels them to keep moving. When they stop running they forget how to move. All they have to do is learn how to still move in a half court offense and bam.
KM some awesome cuts in this game.
I've been looking for a wnba podcast that is this knowledgeable, articulate, and we'll put-together. Kudos.
Thanks!
Thank you, Carter.
It will be very interesting to hear your thoughts on the semi-collapse.
Especially, how accurate are other people's claims that Wheeler and Clark can't play together?
2nd! We do want that video! Very good analysis as always 😊
It was nice to hear the "yea" and "awe" when CC shoots her 3 pointers. It is great to see Boston run like Temi Fagbenle. Good to see the Fever is playing Iowa B-ball: fast.
"Dribble Dribble Hocus Pocus Crap". hahahahahahahah
I've been waiting for you young man, to tell me the deets! Thanks! Good job
One other thing about that play where you said you loved the way Boston was running the floor, if you watch Boston, she hesitates for about two steps just when she gets to the key, and you can see the defender relax, and Boston looks at Clark and bust for the hoop and Clark makes the great pass. I think Boston should also get some props for her court awareness on that play
Well said. I agree with you. She definitely deserves some props there.
Caitlin’s smart. She sees what’s available and takes advantage of it. Not having a big Griner down low, she used that as a staple of her game in yesterday’s match.
She was driving all 1st quarter , Grindr was in the game
2nd half analysis let’s go 🔥
1:27 that’s right somebody that understands The ballet of basketball with the movement of people and the ball……, yes finally I’ve just subscribed the man you understand this game……

Your basketball IQ is off the charts. I would love to see you put yourself in the coaching arena.
For I have no doubt your teams would not only succeeded but flourish under your intellect …,,,
Thank you I have somebody to look forward to spending time with and the love of basketball….. It’s been 20+ years since I’ve watched BASKETBALL AT ANY LEVEL. CC was the only reason I came back….. got to see this entire game and man was cheering unbelievable

Thanks! I appreciate all the kind words!
Bro I hope you become a coach one day 😂🔥
💯💯🔥🔥
do it! if they showed your videos to the Fever, they'd improve immediately! hell, Sides might even get a clue!!
Can’t wait for 2half analysis 😮 always look for your videos!!!
I’m glad you like them! 💯💯
Great breakdown of the first half. New subscriber here, cant wait for your analysis on what happened in that second half
your videos are so much fun to watch!
loved CC bouncing a pass off the backboard, and then somehow recovering. how the h3ll did she do that? speaking of "pushing the pace": she's always pushing herself. sometimes too far or too fast, but sometimes it's almost unbelievable.
Thanks, and well said.
Thanks, great info. And yes, Ive been waiting for you to make sense of the second half. 😬
Fun to re-live that first half. Great analysis. Crisp editing. Love the shirt. (You might consider increasing light on right side of your face. Shadow is a bit distracting.) Thanks!
Thanks for the tips! 💯💯
CC ROTY, All Star and Olympic Gold! Could be an epic year!
Love the way you analyze the game. Clean, very technical and beautiful.
#caitlinclark
..no hate, just love the game🏀❤
From Philippines🇵🇭 with ❤
Thanks 🤝💯
Amazing 1st half. I was mesmerized!
Here’s a rule that Sides could easily enforce: when CC asks for the ball, pass her the ball. Or be benched. There’s a lot of film of Mitchell seeing CC open and ignoring her, or waving her off. That behavior can easily be coached and corrected. Doing this one thing could result in more wins.
if Sides had ever watched an Iowa game, she'd have realized what she was working with, CC's potential. and maybe she would have supported CC in doing what she does best, and helping her teammates score. and we could have been here a month and a half ago.
Brother you need to do a video before the other content creators about the top 10 possible coaches Next coaches for the FEVER. And your top three is most suitable.
Mark Jackson. no on else.
Another great job of analyzing the game.👋👍There are quite a few really good podcasters that I really like but I LOVE your point by point analyses.
You are right. She has Rondo, Bird, Steph, magic, lbj.
I'm always looking for your commentary and analysis. Thank you so much.
I love your channel. Great analysis also
Much appreciated!
Nice job, young man! You make me “Basketball Smarter”!
I appreciate that!
true dat! I never even watched basketball before CC, but even I could tell something was not right about Christie Sides's coaching. then watching ConvosWithCarter, it started making sense. now I'm another obnoxious opinionated CC superfan! empowerment!
Please make that second video too!!!!!!
Great channel. Hope you get the viewers you deserve.
I appreciate that!
Keep bringing your take on the game… love your breakdown of the plays Great job.!
My favorite plays are fast break one touch layups from CC to Mitch. Mitch is such a beautiful finisher.
Thanks for another great breakdown video! Remember to ask people to like and subscribe, right before you do the coolest breakdown! The coolest breakdown this vid was probably the CC22 to Kelsey Mitchell layup, or a tie with Aliyah Boston pushing the pace like a point guard, and hitting NAlyssa Smith for the fastbreak layup. Your hand usage has improved, since everything looked natural this video, either you've been consciously working on it, or just gotten more confident and the improvement came naturally. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!! I appreciate you!!! In my latest video, I did ask folks to subscribe, so I’m talking your advice! I also made no effort to stop the hand movements. I feel I am getting more confident, as all of you guys leaving kind comments have given me a lot of encouragement. 💯💯💯
@@CarterMomon P.S. The hand movements as such were not an issue, just that you sometimes brought that right hand to your face or leaned on it in a "Thinker" pose distracted from the great message. So glad to hear it's just confidence; your breakdowns are so great you absolutely should give them with confident body language!
@@CarterMomon PPS Every breakdown here on out, a little "drinking game" for me, I'll try to leave a SuperChat voting for what I think is the coolest breakdown, and see if you put your "like and subscribe" call just in front it.
Yes, I’m very interested in your take about how the Fevers lost a 31 point lead
To your point. Makelele (probably butchered his name) played for Real Madrid (soccer). They won successive titles, but he felt underappreciated because he was a defensive player who didn't score. He went to Chelsea where he was embraced, Paid three times his previous amount, and won individual awards, as well as the league. And Real Madrid spent years and a lot of money trying to find a replacement. And didn't win the league the next two seasons.
first! nothing intelligent to say except Carter rocks!
The last few games she has come out really aggressive on offense to get the defense to play even harder to stop her. That’s when she starts picking them apart with passes. Great stuff
plus double-teaming her just plays into her hands.
@@outsidethegarden oh 💯
I think Sides is jealous of Clark's leadership and style of play that is the opposite of Sides'. i don't think the players decided on their own to play differently in the 4thQ - that's totally on Sides. You can see her on the sideline commanding Mitchell during a play to NOT provide a screen CC asked for, while also motioning CC to handoff to Katie Lou. Result = turnover (not on CC, but when KL tries to do what CC would do with an inside pass). Compare to how things went with CC and Bluder at Iowa. The coach again trying to slow CC down, but CC happily ignoring her and making scores. Bluder smiles, throws her hands in the air, fake groans, then gives CC the keys to the car! Sides' ego will not allow her star rookie run the floor-show, despite the proven results when doing things CC's way. Sides should be sidelined permanently.
^ this. if Sides ever watched an Iowa game, all she learned from it was that she was going to be the one in charge, not CC. "CC is spoiled, and Bluder is weak. I'll show them how to do it!" yep, you showed them.
Caitlin was like we're going to win by running
Sides has perfected the "prevent offense".
Mercury went to zone the second half and it took the Fever some time to adjust. It’s about having a game plan and knowing what to do in every situation.
which is the coach's job. but Sides is incompetent.
Yeah, I’ll be interested in seeing the dissection of the disastrous 4th quarter. The Mercury went to a simple zone and the Fever went brain dead. I mean, c’mon, no answer to that? Being outscored like that? Gonna see a lot more zone in the future if they can’t adjust
And took the ball out of 22’s hands. So much frustration.
Caitlin Clark can go full throttle 35-38 minutes per game. Down the stretch in 2024 NCAA tourney had 38-40 minutes per game (or more + OT).
caitlin is the offensive conductor and should be involved in every play. she is the cog that runs the machine and when she isn’t allowed to do that the whole machine malfunctions. she is the system and her coach needs to realize that.
Watch when wheeler is put in.
I would love to see you compare her rookie stats to other big time names of the leagues rookie numbers!
Thank you liberty. I ❤NY
Congratulations to Caitlin Clark and her team 🎉
I love your analysis
Carter! Do you think part of Caitlin's strategy is to not project that she's going to pass the ball? In the one example where you mentioned you thought she would lay it up, she kept running past the basket, then bounced a pass to Kelsey. Well, was it my imagination or did she not even turn her head. It was almost as if it were a stealth pass. She kept her head facing toward where she was running, but passed the ball to her left where Kelsey was cutting. Maybe it's just my imagination. If I'm right, that's sneaky good.
I believe she definitely does that! I don’t doubt it one bit! I’ve seen many great passers be stealthy in that way.
I think you're right: her vision is so good that she knows where everyone is. sometimes she needs to check, to make sure they've realized they could get open and they've started towards that spot; sometimes she just assumes they'll figure it out and passes anyway. worked at Iowa, because she had a team and a coach who supported her. the Fever is taking longer to build that trust and anticipation, mostly because Sides doesn't even realize what CC is capable of.
and yes, that's what a lot of turnovers are about. CC calls it her being too excited, but she's just assuming people see what she sees. they need to be educated, and practice. and that's the coach's job. but Sides is incompetent.
Coaching decision on that 2nd half.
As always you never miss 🎯🎯🎯🎯
Yes Sir… Keep it 🆙 mane U got a Bright Future ahead🙏🏿💪🏿💯
I appreciate that 💯💯💯
Any player who can run with clark,Clark, going to be star
Mitchel is starting to get insync with Caitlin! Gonna be scary if she looks to pass once in a while!
love when she give CC the ball and get it right back, in position for an easy bucket. win/win!
Your awesome. Just subscribed
Welcome aboard! I appreciate you!!!
Carter! I love to see it
Great analysis! I'm curious to hear more about what you say really happened the 2nd half/4th quarter.
My opinion,GM Dunn hired point guard Erica Wheeler a year or two ago at max contract. Wheeler is paid $220,000 a year, 2nd highest in the WNBA. So .... Dunn wants her expensive hire to play and look good, but the Fever suffers when Wheeler replaces Caitlin as point guard. Wheeler slows the pace and it all falls apart. They have to keep Caitlin at point guard to continually win !!!!!
“I noticed” Carter changed his microphone from I believe the Liberty game video that I last watched. I’m guessing (without looking back) you may have used a Samson q2 in the previous and this one just looks different from it. If I’m not wrong, I’ll subscribe pending your next video. 😏
Well done 👍🏼!
Yes, I do have a Samsung q2u! I recently upgraded. Very observant!
what happend was Wheeler was put on as PG... .. taking the ball out of CC's hands for mercury... they couldn't do it, but Sides could. ... And did. As far as i get, the main job for all coaches is somehow get the ball out of CC's hands... and the only one that have managed that is Sides so far....
Aliyah Clark duo
People say anyone could coach better than Sides. I disagree, not just anyone. But Carter could coach better.
I strongly disagree, but I truly appreciate the compliment!
@@CarterMomon dude. you wouldn't even have to DO anything: just give them the link to your TH-cam page. boom, instant improvement.
if you really wanted to be helpful, call Lisa Bluder. and take notes. boom, you're Coach of the Year.
Short version: Caitlin was running the show with the ball in her hands every possession. The only person who could stop her is that Shit Show Sides.
What happened to the analysis of the 4th quarter? I was waiting to watch this when that showed up. I appreciate your videos nonetheless. I'm sure these take a lot to put together.
That’s a good question! I had the video finished, but I experienced some technical difficulties. By the time I was able to fix it, the next Fever game was being played, so I just made another analysis about that game.
I know you guys were excited about the video, so I’ll post another one similar to it when the Fever lose their next big lead (I don’t doubt that they will).
@CarterMomon Sounds good. Once again I appreciate your time and effort in these. I'm glad I found a channel that focuses on the stats, per se, and not the drama.
Thanks!
Thank You!!!! I appreciate it my friend!!!! God bless you! 💯
i know she a amazing shooter but am i the only one whos hella annoyed by kelsey mitchell playing hero ball? Now it turned out positive with 28 points but on a bad shooting day that shit can cost them the game. Fever can be a couple points behind with 2 min to go and kelsey would ignore all the open players just to run into other players trying to get a bucket herself she plays like she cares more about her own stats.
I agree. And she has zero assists in this game too! She literally missed open Lexie Hull by herself at the basket but decided to chuck a 3pt that she missed
to give her the benefit of the doubt, Sides is about not using the point guard. so KM's play style is one of the few things the Fever had going for them, and nobody was suggesting anything much different. hard habits to break.
I wonder how things would have gone if Taurasi and Griner were in the game. Just wondering. Also, CC's 7 assists in 7 minutes is insane.
they were in the previous game just a few weeks ago when the fever beat them the first time
@@transmatized yeah I was at that game. It was intense wondering if CC was going to make that triple double. But it was much competitive and was a closer game the entire time. Makes me wonder that there never would have been a 30 point lead but that it might have turned into a loss for Indiana.
I like ur commments and annalize Mr carter god bless
Thank you! May God bless you as well! 💯
I liked that Mitchell did not dribble from CC’s pass, she instead jumped up, to make the layup. I want to see more women not make that wasteful dribble. Otherwise, she plays wastefully with her hero ball rather than economically. Clark ALWAYS finishes her plays.
AB and Smith both do especially in the paint.
We need Sophie Cunningham
I like your commentary
Thanks!
what happened in the 4th? sides put wheeler in at point. cc didnt really touch ball with wheeler in. prior to taking point over, wheeler refused to take 2 wide open 3s from.cc passes. was she a -16? think thats correct.
Sides tried to throw it, but they won anyway.
You show temple and explain them ; however, I am Bb beginner. Could you illustrate some plays in slow motion?
Yes!
Great video but Kelsey gotta be on ball sometimes she’s too fast to just be a catch n shoot shooter
How they almost blew their lead would be interesting. Caitlin needs to start taking shots in the middle when she drives down low but nothing opens up. I don't like her kicking it back out for a lower percentage shot then she could take shots in the middle.
she's said it herself, her go-to is assists. she loves doing that, her teammates benefit, it builds trust and cooperation, it keeps CC from getting quite as banged up, plus it keep Sides off her back. probably worth it.
omg someone stole bros mustache
😂
the 4th wheeler was running the show . thats why it tanked .clark got put in the corner . wheeler should never see the floor . full stop .
When they were up 31, if dummy Sides wanted to bring in weak ass wheeler she should have gave Caitlin a breather. Talking your best player out when up 31 points makes sense. Clueless coach!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks
What’s good bro are you down to come on my podcast to talk WNBA?
1st qtr is very effective offense of the team as a coach why should i change the tempo of the game sides make a big blunder starting 3rd n 4th qtr. Fever players are young and can run the floor with more stamina compare with opponents just jogging for defense.
