Washington is playing much better basketball of late. I'm not surprised. Good game.
I just said DO NOT rule the mystics out. They can suprise you at any moment. The team is not as weak as their record shows.
Yeah I've said that as well because there wasn't major spreads when they lost to top tier teams. But they were spanking the Fever. 😂
Dolson is teaching Edwards how to facilitate, UConn still doing it.
Amazing firepower by Fever in 4th quarter. The 10 turnovers in first 10 minutes hurt.
Washington going to survive" YOU GOT JOKES
ive been watching WNBA this season, been loving it..
Im from Sweden, i don't watch or play basketball men or women, but i watch all of CCs games. She lost this game but will come back in the next. LETS GOOOOO CC.
Sounds like you’ve never had an interest in the game before now. So why watch CC?
@Sinncere06 I just enjoy watching basketball when she's playing all the "cool" passes and 3s. I have a basic understanding of the game, i think 😁. I can't give you a better reason, srys.
The Washington Mystics are a very decent & even sometimes a good team when focused, Y'all Casuals, CC Stans & Sports Media Pundits let their current record fooled most of you
I'm happy that the better team won and Washington is getting into a groove. They are dealing with a lot of injuries and still keep on fighting.
Ariel Atkins is fire 🔥
Adkins is a PROBLEM! Great game to watch
She's definitely on my radar now, and should have been on the Olympics team. I didn't notice her at all during their last game.
@@justtester_9962 yeah same and it's cool to find other good to great WNBA players by watching Clark.
I'm a CC fan but she needs to step up her defense; if you give a bad pass you run back in defense... 2:30 she just stands there wtf CC
chill out CC "FAN" she is just a rookie ....its just her standards are too high she is having the greatest rookie season ever
she's been a cone on defense and a turnover machine since she was at Iowa
@vikashkumarsharma1412 they teach you hustle and getting back on defense before you're even in college stop all that rookie crap. She's showing poor effort has nothing to do with being a rookie.
Alot of standing around by most WNBA players...somehow had 5 steals and 3 blocks while not playing any D today
She needs to work on cutting her turnovers and more hustle on defense to reach her potential as the best player in the WNBA.
Great game from Ariel atkins. Very impressive performance. Mystics pulled the win even with the refs special whistle working against them. Ariel atkins should have her own thread own espn and here
The Mystics are better than their record reflects. Luckily they pulled this out. A couple more pieces and I think they can be really good next year
Well you all made her media hype the "Darling" of the Wnba. She does nothing special that vets like Sabrina Ionescu or Kelsey (yum, yum ) Plum 😍already been doing for years. In this game, She pushed away 2 players from the Mystics. 1 was later in the 4th when her team was still down. The Mystics coach challenged what should have been a fowl on Clark, they reviewed the call and still gave to ball back to CC? Goes to show, "I guess she has a special whistle"? Btw: What good is all those points if your team still lost? 😄
*HOW MANY TIMES* are the refs gonna let CC *BLATANTLY PUSH-OFF DEFENDERS* for her step-back 3's like she was used to getting away with back in Iowa!?... Even the female announcer was surprised at the first one.
They might as well stop trying to press my girl CC....🗣️SHE GONE DO HER THANG REGARDLESS‼️‼️‼️🤞🏾❤️💪🏾
Caitlin Clarke is always pushing off and she GETS AWAY WITH IT. If they called those fouls, she would get fouled out every game.
Caitlin Clark is a dirty player but wait until she plays Dijonai Carrington again she's not going to get away with that crap Dijonai Carrington is not going to take that she's going to put Caitlin Clark in her place like she did their last three meetings.
@@BrandonEldridge-kx9kv More like tough player. All of the great players had a toughness about them. Magic, Stockton, Jordan, Bird etc
Whose fault was it this time?
Defense. Turnovers. Kelsey didn't shoot well at all today. NaLyssa needs to start and be allowed to get into the flow of the game..when AB gets in foul trouble there is too little interior defense. GG Mystics...how come y'all only won five games coming into this one?
When Fever win its Clark all by herself. When Fever lose it’s the team, the coach, the refs, so on…
@@shawna7227 29 points, 13 assists. What the hell more do you need from 1 player?

Were the refs told to swallow their whistles when it comes to CC pushing off with that left arm. Two refs were right there at the beginning of the game and no call? WTF!
Kelsey Mitchell going oh for eight attempts at 3-points didn't help. Erica Wheeler should be the point guard to set up Clark Boston and Mitchell. She should be bringing down the ball and setting up plays. Clark playing way too many minutes. Quality output suffers.
Thank you for this highlight video WNBA, allows the fans to catch up when we can't watch.
Clark with another 5 turnovers and on pace to break the WNBA record for rookie turnovers. Why is no one talking about that? Clearly it’s one GLARING area she needs to improve on if she’s ever going to realize her potential. EDIT: She’s actually on pace to break the ALL-TIME record for most turnovers and it already 4TH most TOs in a season all-time if the season ended now!!!! 😱
@xxyyzz8464
175 assists 127 turnovers, the ratio is even better, if you just look at the last 20 games. totally fine for a rookie..
@@Andre-ig7dz WRONG! It has ALWAYS been considered, for a guard, that a good assist to turnover ratio is 3:1. Anything less than 2:1 for a guard is awful, rookie or otherwise. Tell us you don’t know basketball again. Her ratio would be okay for a big underneath presence in the post only.
@xxyyzz8464
with her pace that will also be a top 10 all time assist season,so what is your point.
if you handle the ball a lot u are going to have turnovers..it's not rocket science😅
@@Andre-ig7dz And her assist-to-turnover ratio is AWFUL!! For a guard, a 3:1 ratio is considered good and she’s barely above 1:1.
@@xxyyzz8464 Wrong, it is actually closer to 3 to 2, so you are one who loves to push or agenda of dislike. What will you do when she fixes her game from her rookie season? I know, still hate.
Caitlin Clark needs more help. This team is pretty woeful if she’s putting up those numbers and they aren’t winning.
Beat the best team in the league, then get destroyed by the worst team in the league that’s missing starters 🤦🏽♂️ that’s tough.
Horrendous loss by Fever to bum ass Washington....after 3 days rest you lose a game like this you got to beat the real trash teams, Fever coach been trash all season. No way shouldnof lost at HOME.
Where was CCs behind the back to Smith? I thought these were highlights.
This is the WNBA channel. They are not Clark fans. They are Reece fans. Reece is their ROY. If they show Clark's best play its hard to push for Reece.
CC fans, "it's the refs, her team and coaches, and Scottie Pippens fault!" 😂😂😂😂
Why’d that first highlight get cut off so abruptly
Defense?
How does Aliyah end with 6 points as the center?
She honestly didn’t play that poorly, she just got in foul trouble
She only took 4 shots the whole game. That is a sides problem for sure lol.
She was benched with 5 fouls. Didn't play half the game. Casual fans
Fun game to watch all the ladies did well
The Mystics were doing more traveling than the passport bros
*Katie Lou is 6'3 and doesn't rebound, doesn't defend worth a schit and is slow as molasses.* How in the heck does management lose Emily Englsler and gain Katie Lou is beyond me. Emily has more hustle, drive and grit than Smith and Katie Lou combined.
Mystics played sharp. Enjoyed their win. Fever couldn’t connect as a team, but enjoyed their efforts in the 4th. Exciting last quarter. Enjoying the WNBA in 2024. 👏
Do they not call traveling in the wnba lmao
Washington had 42 points in the paint and 10 offensive rebounds. The Fever is weak defensively inside and out. And Washington took 17 more shots, with help from OR's and IN's turnovers. Fever needs a pg and center.

Another fun game to watch. I can’t wait for the next Fever game!!! I haven’t missed one all year!!! Fever baby!!!!!
Fever should be disappointed with the game. Honourable losses don't qualify you for finals. Surprised Boston and Mitchell were so quiet. Never a sign of health when the offence collapses so much to one pkayer, much better when its spread. Bad games happen, but its how the team responds, regardless of opponent, that will determine whether they are finals ready. Good teams don't drop streaks of games in a row. They fight back.
the fever coach can't get the defense corrected, everyone is standing around like statues on every defensive possesion. cut down the turnovers and somebody play some defence please. a boston had a really poor game, 6 points.
Fever beats Liberty to lose to Mystics without Sykes and Austin ... very sad story. And they should realize that if they play 3/4 of the game really badly, they won't always save it in the last quarter.
getting smoked by the 5-17 Mystics at home is crazy
@@cmn225 the record is deceiving the Mystics have the most loses by single digits of any team in the WNBA very easily could’ve been a playoff team if Della Donne decided to play for them this year
@@nicholaskatsikas4904 They wouldn't even need EDD for the playoffs, a healthy Austina Sykes would probably be enough. Which might happen after the Olympic break,
With only seconds left on the clock I wish I would just give it to Clark for the final shot. Feels like they blow it by not realizing this.
if turnovers lead to fast break points, you loose
Only losing by five points after being down by twenty or so,I would say that was a valiant effort to come back! They also had too many turnovers which hurt them. The Fever are playing strong as a team.
CC is the GOAT, she stacked the sat sheet once again.
29 points, 13 assists, five rebounds, five steals, three blocks and five made 3s.
Some goat. All thos stats against a weak team and you bring home a L. Who cares about the stats. The team lost the game! All that matters is a win or loss.
I love mitchell but she dribbles with her head down and has a shoot first mentality 😵💫
It is with great satisfaction that we acknowledge the successful receipt of the BTC transaction.

The Fever are super fun to watch. Need to get better at fighting through screens, switching and boxing out and they would be darn good.
🤔So the Fever beat the best team in the W in convincing fashion only to get molly whopped by the worst team in the W. Either the W against the Liberty was a fluke or the L against the Mystics exposed the Fever. You be the judge...
How CC had herself a game!
The easiest thing to do in basketball is not fall asleep on defense. But over and over it happens, and C Clark is one of the most frequent offenders.
She's always been like that. She threw a turnover in this game and made no attempt to get the ball as the player that stole the ball ran right in front of her.
@@gamingwhileitshot8040YEA! Seriously, I don't hate her but I would've benched her behind that one.
The entire league is weak on defense really. Every game I have seen this year both teams that are playing just constantly are letting easy buckets under the rim it's just insane just constant lay-ups. You don't see anyone really getting down in defensive stance and sliding. All the teams really just look like they are going through the motions so they can just get ready to go on offense.
The fever didn’t get enough sleep this game too sloppy too many turnovers!
The talent pool in the WNBA is insane. Fever can beat the Liberty one day and then lose to a team with only 5 wins on the season.
You can't beat anyone if you turn the ball over 25 times😝
C. Clark 29 pts 13 assists 5 rebounds 5 steals 3 blocks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yet the coach still disrespects Clark by sitting her for end of the game plays or draws up a play that does not include her. This game was winnable by the Fever. Sides is terrible.
@@JB-zh1tu dude, they lost because of turnovers, has nothing to do with the coach.
CC does too much useless dribbling. It's the product of the "mixtape generation" of basketball. It's good for highlights but makes More risks for turnovers
No one guarded her, she’s shooting an open shot that’ll kill any team. Because she’s a great shooter, good teams are going to D’ her up. That’s use basic basketball knowledge.
👏🏿 salute to the Mystics; they didn’t do the doormat thing today. No one wins everything, but the Fever let themselves down going from the Liberty to this. NY didn’t take the Fever seriously, and they paid for it. The Fever benefit from that lesson and follow it up doing the same thing. Not good enough.
One Dolson beats all of Indiana together with their coach.
Not starting Smith and giving Wallace playing time really cost us in this game and you don't give a player the final three-pointer who is 0for7
Not a good loss. Terrible defense. At least need to separate themselves from the bottom half of the league.
What? The Fever are firmly in the bottom half of the league. There's only 12 teams...
Turnovers and second chance points hurt the Fever today.
Almost a miraculous comeback by the Fever, they have to make runs throughout the game and not just when they need it late. Also, they waited too long to put Hull back in the game. The energy/momentum is off with the Fever. Mitchell had a bad game, it happens. There is potential in both of these teams to be pretty good. Mystics were a slouch early on.
All of the Ladies, balled out of control! 😤💪✨🔥 I'm so happy witnessing competition at this, Level! Shout out to both, teams!
0:23 is an offensive foul that they never call on Clark
@@vibe0ne10 His aren’t as bad but they could def call some this is just full extension the defender falls back it’s like how don’t you see this.
In case you ever watch one of these games, there's so much illegal use of the hands it's comical
*When it comes to drawing fouls and creating space in sketchy ways, CC remains me of James Harden* 😅
@@peterhaslund *If anything the wnba refs breathe through their whistles, so if they're not calling it's probably because it isn't a rule or the typical star player favoritism*

@@TheODLawson23 word for word? Because I don’t understand what’s being said?
Don’t you dare talk about that because these sick fans will go nuts, when they win it’s all about CC but when they lose it’s everyone else’s but CC and I was a big CC fan but these sick people just made it hard to root for her.
Not starting lys was crazy. Starting lexy is fine, but put her in for 3 or 2. Why switch your 3 to a 4, when you could just rotate your 3’s to keep them fresh and let ab and nyl smoke the threemany with cc.
Boston, Smith and Mitchell got out hustled, out played, out scored by Washington. Total embarrassment by those 3!!
since there are at least 10-15 rookies better than Can’twin Clark, the WNBA should reward her for bringing new eyeballs onto the league & manufacture a new, fake award just for her & her cult, the SOTY:
The Statpadder of The Year
Simply ignorant take. By far the best rookie in the league. No one close. You don't know a thing about basketball, but you can hate with the best of them.
Ohhhh poor black dude hating on CC. Now there's a shocker!!! CC crushes your soul...this is awesome...

What happens when you don’t pass Clark the ball
The Fever are not a good rebounding team. Giving up offensive rebounds lost them this game
Big fan of Clark but the play at 2.28 is inexcusable. Turnovers happen, especially when you are the driving force of your team and are pushing to make something happen, but how she reacted to it and her lack of effort in stopping a transition just isn't good enough. She is an incredible player but it will take time for her to mature into a more complete player.
She just stood there 😂 and watched
She does have a habit of getting frustrated with bad plays. She could've expected the player she was passing to to take a more post up position, or maybe to not have both team mates go to the same spot on a break, but is was a bad pass by her.
Yeah ... that was bad. Hopefully a learning moment for her. Obviously turnovers are the biggest thing she has to work on moving forward, but there is a noticeable lack of effort on defense sometimes. She needs to work on that too. I'm sure she will.
Thays because her defense sucks and she only wants to shoot 3 pointers. That's not going by to win you anything but personal awards
