Love the context, presentation, and clever comparison to Toy Story. My only quibble is that you said Aliyah Boston's numbers weren't off the chart in this game. They were 9-15-8 ... almost a triple double and almost triple her average number of assists! I think Aliyah is learning to become a better passer and playmaker in her own right from watching and learning from Caitlin what is possible. If Aliyah's numbers didn't stand out to you in that game, it was only because of the sun-like brilliance of Caitlin, Kelsey, and Lexi. By the way, EXUBERANCE is how I felt while watching the Fever during the fourth quarter of that game. Thank you!
Boston is great with her passes as her assists show
@@REB6509 Aliyah is quietly becoming an assassin. Lol. You are right, CC, Kelsey and Lexie were showing out all over the place, so you couldn’t take your eyes off of them. Meanwhile, Aliyah is in the background doing her thing. I was shocked when the announcer was going on and on about Aaliyah’s triple double. I looked at my husband, “when did that happen?” Lol.
Glad you enjoyed the Toy Story comparison! You’re right-Boston’s near triple-double was impressive, showing her growth as a playmaker. Caitlin’s influence is clearly rubbing off! That fourth quarter was pure exuberance-Fever’s future is looking bright! 🌟🏀
Trust me, CC will just do what is necessary but clean.
Absolutely, CC knows how to get the job done while keeping it clean. She’s all about playing smart and fair! 🏀💪
Diggin -Smith complained about being bullied, yet she has no problem doing it to someone else. Shake off the haters!!
Can we just call it what it is? I'm sorry but Diggins just became, basically a damn hypocrite!!!!!

you sir with your eloquent (sarcasm) response of language have clearly made my point!!
My wife looked at me and said, "What??!!" YOU'RE watching the WNBA NOW?? YOU NEVER DID" Well, CC fan now!!
@@williamtehero8720 Yup, change the wife to husband and I’m guilty as charged. Lol. I got him watching too.
Looks like Caitlin Clark has you hooked! 😅 The WNBA is on fire, and CC’s making everyone a fan. Welcome to the club! 🏀🔥
I'm not pumped about the WNBA am pumped up about greatness and I see generational greatness in Caitlyn Clark that we do not see, but once in a lifetime. I am watching history in the making
Caitlin Clark is truly something special, and it's incredible to witness her greatness unfold. We're all watching history in the making-this is a once-in-a-lifetime talent! 🏀🌟
I was very disappointed in Skylar’s unnecessary and intentional cheap shot on CC. Given how Skylar was treated by the Phoenix Mercury team prior to her rejection subsequent ejection from that team. I understand that Skylar was frustrated because her team was losing; however, she is a professional yet in this case, her action was bush league.
Skylar’s play during the game was good so, there was absolutely NO need for her retaliatory and unprovoked cheap shot against any opposing player. Would she have taken this cheap shot against Diana Taurasi?
Skylar’s cheap shot mirrored her coach’s silly and entitled actions towards the Fevers’ Coach (Sides) at end of the game! Seattle storm - do better!
Because Caitlin had all that fame without allowing herself to be on "casting couches for women".
"Lived experience" & "playing together" & "no familiarity with" where the reasons Team USA refused her. They're code for:
"experimenting" or "homosexual behaviour".
@@frederickrobinson9502 It's like don't treat me this way but then she turns around and became the very thing she supposedly dislikes? Really Skyler? How quickly she has forgotten her own words, her treatment. It's sad, really sad how people become the things they dislike :(

@@independentaquaman7424Is there such a thing as casting couch in WNBA? I thought I'm sure only In Hollywood where it's happening. I hope you can elucidate a little bit more how you know that. Thanks sir!
@@wcaneyes1847 You do know what quotation marks are for other than for quoting others, right?
It's when one is using a figure of speech or figurative scenarios rather than literal ones.
You're getting muted for being disingenuous.
My first quoted phrase was figurative from my perspective.
All the following quotes were of what was actually said, where I then explained that the words quoted weren't literal meanings, and then I explained why they weren't literal but figurative.
I guess that's what Turasi meant when she said reality is coming, then laughs about it. The Jealousy and bullying of CC.
YES, I AM “QUOTING” MYSELF.
CC and the Fever are going to be hard to handle in the playoffs.
Totally agree, CC and the Fever will be a force to reckon with in the playoffs! 💪🏀
Mitchell’s play has completely changed my opinion of her professionalism and basketball skill set. Unfortunately, of late, she has been hinting about leaving the Fevers to dip her toes in the free agency market. However, is this just her cleaver ploy and negotiation tactic to command more money form the Fevers i.e. if you want my skill set, pay for it. Nonetheless, long term, her leaving the Fevers will be a regrettable mistake on her part.
Unlike Shaq and Penny, Shaq and Kobe, I hope Mitchell “I got it moment”is not in the rear view mirror. If I could say anything to her, it would be right now, you are a iron in a red hot fire so, stay with the Fevers and work with CC and AB until the fire dims naturally (which will come soon enough).
Curry, Clay and Green for the Warriors kept their iron in the fire and built
a championship dynasty while also getting paid handsomely.
Agreed Mitchell has shown well and she would be wise to stay in the spotlight where she can excel and display her game
Mitchell’s growth has been impressive, and staying with the Fever could lead to something great. Hopefully, she recognizes the value of building a legacy with CC and AB. 🔥🏀
I'm a 56 year old man from New Zealand. Never paid too much attention to the WNBA until now. I had no clue who this young lady was in January. Now I'm an unabashed fan boy of this incredible athlete. She made me look at the other incredible players in the league and I regret not paying attention earlier. The one US athlete that has been must watch for me is Lamar Jackson, but right now, Caitlin is without a doubt, prime time, must watch. Took myself to Chicago in 97 to watch "that guy". I'm recognising the same level of greatness emerge and I'm planning a journey to Indiana. Got to see this with my own eyes. Enjoyed your video.
Her teammates are finally catching up with her.
It’s awesome to see them all coming together! 💪🏀
One game at a time! Knock them down, CC and Fever Team. Skylar trying to be relevant makes herself irrelevant and now a bully. The League should be accepting CC. Refs should protect CC. Go Caitlin Clark.!!!
Taking it one game at a time is the way to go! Caitlin Clark and the Fever are focused and determined. The league is better with talents like CC-let’s keep cheering them on! 🏀💪
Caitlin isnt just a superstar, but it is her playmaking which frustrates to he opposition. A high scorer is a wizard, like Kareem or Babe Ruth or Wilt. Caitlin's vision of the game and her passing humiliates the other team.
Ala Larry Legend.
No doubt about it-she’s a game-changer. Her playmaking keeps the other team on their heels and makes the magic happen. 🏀✨
There is NO going back from that breakout game for Lexi “Hussle” Hull. Put some respect on her name! She’s a different player with a different Fevers team. This is not the same Fevers team that started the year. Sexy Lexi is now balling out! I would not continue to bet that Sexy Lexi will miss more shorts than she makes.
It isn't competition if the ball isn't in play. Threats of the opposition getting tougher during the playoffs aren't convincing. If they can do better against Clark, why wait for the playoffs?
You’re right-if they want to challenge Clark, now’s the time to step up. But with her talent, waiting until the playoffs might just be too late. Let’s see how they handle the heat when it really counts! 🔥🏀
If opponents go into games with there focus on stoping CC, they will only fall into a trap. CC with her court awareness and spot on passing, will slice and dice them with elite level passing strait to who ever is left open. This last half of the season is going to be very dramatic. Get your popcorn ready.
You’ve got it right! Focusing too much on stopping CC only opens up the floor for her teammates. Her court vision is next level, and she’s ready to make those clutch plays. The second half of the season is going to be intense-definitely time to grab the popcorn! 🍿🏀
Skylar looks like the actor from The Crying Game movie 😂😂😂
What i don’t get is supposedly Quinn was upset bc fever didn’t pull their starters… but Diggins was still in!!!!
Exactly but no one is mentioning that part😭🤣🥲😂
GREAT POINT!!
I've watched the replay at least ten times and when SDS pushed CC, she pushed her towards the Seattle bench, and almost into Coach Quinn. The momentum of the push caused CC to walk right past Quinn and towards the Seattle players near the bench. At that very instant, Coach Quinn made a B-line to Coach Sides. I think that maybe she was mad about CC walking toward her team on the sidelines while still lifting one arm up in the same manner that she had been raising both arms, seconds earlier to excite the Fever crowd. Coach Quinn did not see SDS push CC, so she probably thought that CC intentionally walked into the area where her team was forming a huddle (for a time out) and was purposely working to further excite the Fever crowd right where her team was trying to huddle. The Fever had just gone on a 16 point run, and IT LOOKED LIKE CC WAS DISRESPECTING SEATTLE BY "WORKING THE CROWD" IN THE MIDST OF SEATTLE'S HUDDLE! I can't be certain that this is what got Coach Quinn so mad, but this makes a lot more sense than her flying into a rage because Sides didn't bench her starters at the exact same time that Quinn did, because she couldn't have realistically expected Sides to know that she (Quinn) had benched her players during the time out - Sides was too busy with her own team to be watching what Quinn was doing. However, I can understand why Quinn got mad if she thought that CC was making a mockery of Quinn's team by working the crowd from Seattle's bench! What do you think? Does this make sense to you?
That’s an interesting point! It’s curious how that played out with Diggins still on the court. Sometimes the emotions run high in these games, but it definitely adds to the drama! 🏀🤔
She has game, moves, talent, control, stamina, force, charisma, motive, she is kind, humble, friendly, and don't take no for an answer. My opinion
Boston is AWESOME! Love love love her! She is an anchor and stabilizes the ship so the sharks can run wild moving the ball at will and scoring.
Love seeing her in action! 🏀❤️
They are The Force right now.
No doubt about it-they’re unstoppable right now, like a true force on the court! 💥🏀
No one can stop Indiana Fever....go go go CC
The Fever’s burning bright, and with CC at the helm, there’s no cooling them down! 🔥🏀 Let’s keep this momentum rolling!
Bird is a smart lady, but there are two things to think about. #1 CC has adjusted to being hard covered and has passed her way through it. If CC is covered she passes, and if not, she shoots, either way she is scoring. #2 CC has toughened up quite a bit since the start, gaining confidence and defending herself. She has played against everybody in the league and she has learned that she is as good or much better than all the players!!! One on one, she could beat 95% of these players!
👍💪
100%
You’re spot on! Caitlin Clark’s adaptability and growth have been incredible to watch. Whether she’s passing or shooting, she’s finding ways to score and make a difference on the court. Her confidence and skill have only gotten stronger. 🏀💪
Caitlan is the WNBA
Can't deny this! Caitlin is redefining the WNBA-she's the future of the league! 🏀🔥
Caitlin is a good example for women's sports and for young women to play professional basketball !!!
Absolutely! Caitlin’s journey is truly inspiring, paving the way for the next generation of female athletes to dream big in professional basketball! 🏀✨
Clark, Mitchell, and Boston are good to go. I hope Lexi Hull can become that 3 point threat consistently. I would love to praise yet another person on the team. That 6 of 7 at the 3 point mark really helped the Fever in that win against the storm. So much fun!
The rest of the league needs to stop complaining and start playing better or bow down to Caitlin! If the Fever finds a steady 5th player the other teams don't stand a chance!
Caitlin and the Fever are playing at a high level, and it’s exciting to see how the rest of the league will respond. Every team has the chance to shine, and the competition is only getting better! 🏀🔥

Caitlin Clark was on fire! She definitely showed why she’s the point god, taking on Diggins-Smith and Loyd. 🔥🏀
I never doubted CC
Neither did we! Caitlin Clark has been proving herself every step of the way. 🏀🔥
I follow the WNBA from Thailand because Caitlin Cark, not the others. She make me thinking about Steh Curry by her style, and i love Steh Curry and the Warriors. I want to love Indiana fever and Caitlin Clark for the same reason, the actractive game. Her IQ is at the first step, Let's Go FEVER !!!!!
Caitlin Clark’s impact is global! 🙌 Her game is definitely Steph Curry-level exciting. Welcome to the Fever family-let’s enjoy this ride together! 🏀🔥
*The only way anyone is going to beat the FEVER in the playoffs is if someone pulls a Tonya Harding.*
The Fever are playing so well, it would take something extreme to stop them! Let’s hope it stays all about the game-because they’re unstoppable right now! 💪🏀
Caitlin being injected into the Fever team has heightened the teams playing aggression overall, like by playing with a team spirit has shown team as a whole, and in doing so has had an effect on the rest of the league. The "oldies" are insulted where they should be grateful that "new blood" has caused a better game, whether it caused them to look like they were just playing a street folly and drawing a minimal pay. That's not enough, play like your life depends on it, because it does.
Lock her down they have had 2 3 and 4 on her every game...
Even with double and triple teams, Clark still finds a way to make an impact. You can’t keep a player like her down for long! 💪🔥
Indiana Fever rock!! Never watch WNBA before. All there players rock it with the accusation of CC. She makes the team better. Haven't missed a fever game. The team lead by CC is AWESOME! I know the starters names. 👍💪❤
Glad to hear you’re hooked on the Fever! CC’s impact is undeniable, and it’s awesome to see the whole team thriving. Keep cheering them on! 🏀🔥
CC is the most watchable/likeable athlete on the planet . . .
Caitlin Clark has that undeniable charm and talent-she’s definitely a must-watch and easy to root for! 🌟🏀
CC22 and her Fever Team are LIVING LEGENDS. Nuff said.
The journey CC and the Fever are on is nothing short of legendary! They're rewriting the game and setting new standards every time they hit the court. Can’t wait to see how far they’ll go! 🏀🔥
Question
Can someone tell me why Sheryl Swoopes, one of the most famous Women's Basketball Players of all time, take to the National Media to disparage Caitlin Clark, who was a fan of Sheryl Swoopes, lying about her records and performances Which were total Fabrications.
Is it Racist/Hateful, because Clark is a Straight, White and Catholic Sensation from Iowa.
The worst part of Sheryl Swoopes comments is that she making them at a time when Women's Basketball is Encountering the greatest increase in it's popularity and viewership Worldwide.
When Caitlin's Legion of young Girls hear Sheryl Swoopes Hateful comments they must be very Confused.
As an Advocate of Women's Equality, I am enjoying seeing Women's Sport's Popularity, Viewership, Endorsements and record TV Contacts increasing at
an exponential rate.
Waiting for a responsible answer.

It is easy to Stop Caitlin Clark. They stopped her for the first 12 games. Stick to her for 40 minutes. Even when you have one more free throw to shoot.
I get that inbound plays cool you can pick her up full court 80% of her transition comes from Miss shots
Boston almost had a triple double...
Boston is becoming a dawg. So fun to watch a big that can pass as well as score.
Also she fights for offensive rebounds
What an incredible performance! She’s showing her all-around game and making a huge impact. 💪🏀
Jealous for sure. And of course white. I'm on board with CC she has brought the heat on the WNBA!
No doubt, CC's got the league on fire! 🔥 She's making waves, and we're all in! 🙌🏀
all you said were absolutely true....❤
Appreciate the love! ❤️ Together, we're witnessing something truly special with CC and the Fever. The best is yet to come! 🙌🏀
Just wait till Temi Fagbenli gets back!!!
Temi Fagbenle's return is going to be a game-changer! Can’t wait to see her back on the court making an impact. 🏀🔥
Diggins-Smith joined the WNBA with her "legacy" in tatters, having been stopped by UConn from National Champioship aspirations and she's had a chip on her shoulder ever since.
it’s a shift to the newcomers … like Caitlin Clark … from the oldies …
Absolutely, it’s a new era in the WNBA with rising stars like Caitlin Clark taking center stage. The torch is being passed, and the future looks brighter than ever! 🌟🏀
Cailtlin Clark got a game. He provide spark to WNBA league. They should be thanking Caitlin. now they getting paid big Money..
Caitlin Clark is transforming the WNBA, bringing energy and excitement that's hard to match. Her influence is a game-changer, and it’s clear she’s helping the league reach new heights-and those bigger paychecks are just the beginning! 💥
Time to weed out the old guard and find more talent like Clark. Then we’ll have a real WNBA! Not this mean girls wanna be roller derby WNBA.
Diggins-Smiths action wasn't assault, it was pure childish pettiness, but Clark brushed it off without a care. The Storm coach, then acted as if Clark was the aggressor & kicked off herself. What pair of butt hurt whiners!
Caitlin Clark handled it like a pro, staying cool under pressure while others lost their composure. She’s got the focus and maturity that really stands out on the court! 🏀💪
These new AI voices are getting so good. It’s unbelievable really. I enjoy the content though, can’t complain.
Glad you’re enjoying the content-thanks for the support! Keep tuning in for more. 🙌🎧
Clark, Boston, Mitchell & Hull are going to be very hard to stop at the rate they are going, they are bringing the best out of each other and they look like they are loving every minute of it 🇬🇧
Sue Bird? Who's Sue Bird?
This sounds like AI. Anyhow, it's shallow in its take on Skylar. Skylar has no need to be jealous of Caitlin nor has she anything to prove. The Storm coach was frustrated at Christy Sides' breach of etiquette which was probably unintentional. During the time out, Christy hadn't cleared her starters off the floor as is customary, in the last moment, when a game has been won and lost. Add to that mistake Caitlin needlessly jazzing the crowd which, unfortunately, she did while approaching the Storm bench. Skyler is a team leader and went to support her coach. Bumping Caitlin was nothing. Caitlin barely noticed it and though Skylar should've been more careful, her focus wasn't on Caitlin. And Skylar was right to warn the ref, "Don't touch me," as the ref gave her an inappropriate look. Basically, the Storm had just been humiliated, tempers were short, and Caitlin and the Fever (I'm a fan of both) could have handled it better.
Well, I don’t know much about basketball (Soccer and Rugby were my sports) but I do know about teamwork and team dynamics, which is how I coached my daughter’s B’ball team through an unbeaten season, including the premiership game at the finish. That was just an local highschool competition here in Melbourne Australia, but I know that if I or any other coach approached the opposition bench at any time beofre the end of the game, we would be warned about a Tech foul. I have seen coaches that ignored that warning get escorted out of the arena. And that’s just High School games! I know that the same kind of rules apply in Soccer, Rugby Union, Rugby League, and Australian Rules Football, so I have to wonder why it is that you think that some ‘customary’ (also unwritten) ‘rule’ allows someone to ignore what is standard etiquette in other team sports around the world. Is that because Americans have no idea of sportmanslike behaviour? As for Clark revving up the crowd, it doesn’t matter where she is at the time she does that, it’s HER HOME CROWD and the Fever won! Convincingly!
Just for the record, I don’t personally like ANY form of disrespect for your opponents in any game. I was raised to respect your opponents, in victory, or loss, and to treat them as worthy opponents at all times. Trash talk used to be silenced by Referees when I was a player in the 60’s and 70’s. Now, it’s ‘all part of the game’. Okay, that’s fine, but I know that in the sports that I played, if you knocked someone to the ground ‘off the ball' like Chennedy Carter did, you would definitely get a Penalty (or Free Kick in Soccer, if outside the box) awarded to the other team, which could cost your team points. If it was a serious action, such as Chennedy’s was, the player would very likely get a yellow card, which in both codes of Rugby would mean ten minutes off the field for the offender and your team plays with one less player. If the action was judged by the Ref to be malicious, the player could be sent off for the duration!
An effort such as the Skylar one doesn’t happen in any of those games, because the repecussions are severe. The ruling bodies will charge that it brings the game into disrepute and significant fines will be imposed on the player, by not only the rulling body, but their own club, for doing that. I have watched Rugby League and Rugby Union games where the players have been extremely heated in the game and even on the verge of punches being thrown, but after the game is over, they will shake hands, hug, have a few laughs with one another, etc. I cannot recall any game where a star player on one team has been singled out in such a way and NEVER in front of a home crowd! Aussies love sports, but one thing we despise is people who can’t lose gracefully. Any complaining is howled down as childish and the WNBA, from what I’ve seen of the press conferences and behaviour, would drive people away in droves. If they wanted to start a League like that here, they’d have to cut that out right at the start. I know that most Americans have the same mindset; Train hard, play hard, take your losses and your wins as they come and treat everyone in the game with respect. I’m appalled at players (CC included) mouthing off to Referees! That will cost the player amd the team in all the different types of football I have mentioned (In Aussie rules, it’s a 50 yard penalty! For each infraction!) In Rugby League it’s ten yards and Rugbby Union is the same. You do NOT even argue with the Refs, let alone abuse them, or it will cost you big time. Referees are human and make mistakes. Any obviously questionable decisions can be challenged by Teams after the game is over (At least in most sports that I know of) but most of the time, the only player who is legally allowed to talk to the Referee, is the captain of either team and even then, they must do so respectfully. Again, this is because standards of etiquette have been relaxed. Trash talk is now something to praise and nobody thinks that’s wrong, but it IS! Let your play or your prowess do the talking and let your mouth keep shut, unless it’s to speak well of your opponents. I never watched WNBA until I heard about Caitlyn Clark, but as a father of two daughters, I always though the jokes were mean. Now I can see where they come from.
You bring up some thoughtful points. It’s true that emotions can run high in competitive moments like that, and what happened was likely a mix of frustration and miscommunication. But these situations can be teaching moments for everyone involved. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
@@BigAl53750 I'm not familiar with the rules of the sports you mention, but I agree with your points. My sports were American football and baseball and, at that remote time, there was no trash talking or mouthing off at the refs/umpires allowed. And we lined up to shake hands after each game. Times have changed. I thought the Storm's coach was calling Christy Sides out for not clearing the floor of her starters, maybe an oversight on C.S.' part, and Skylar, as team captain, was backing up her coach. I was sorry to see the incident and the one on the floor as Skylar is actually a very classy lady. It looked like Caitlin was pouring it on by revving up the crowd when the game, in effect, was over. Not very good sportsmanship. And Chennedy Carter should be expelled from the W no question. Poor reffing is a problem though. Something needs to be done.
Chew on this WNBA Fans - The FEVER have drawn more fans in their 1st 7 games this year THAN THE LAST 2 YEARS COMBINED. Forget Rookie of Year/MVP or any of that nonsense, Caitlin Clark IS CEO of The YEAR.
No doubt, Caitlin Clark is changing the game and packing the stands! 🏀🔥 The Fever's rise is just beginning, and with Clark leading the charge, the future is looking unstoppable. CEO of the Year? Absolutely-she’s running the show! 👑🙌
@@shegotgame22 Their still a 2/3 woman team. Mitchell has got to keep playing as well as she has, we know what AB can do, she's all they've got Inside, and of Course, Clark... NOW, if Hull and Samuelson play well too, then at least a decent starting"5." Of course there's always a chance that Coach Blondie takes the chains off CC and let's her lift the whole team like she did @ Iowa.
Because she had all that fame without allowing herself to be on "casting couches for women".
"Lived experience" & "playing together" & "no familiarity with" where the reasons Team USA refused her. They're code for:

It’s great to see the conversation around athletes focusing on their talent and hard work. Let’s keep supporting the players for what they bring to the game and the positive impact they have on and off the court. 🏀💪
@@shegotgame22 I was referring to peer pressure from those of the same sex inside colleges, and then inside the pro league, to share their bodies with the rest because *that is what Swoopes was referring to.*
The other teams will look to take CC out at a crucial game with a Technical stand down.
They might try, but CC thrives under pressure! She’s built for those big moments. 💪🔥
All them veterans they are jealous an CatlenClark is just showing them how the game is going to be played she came to cook an thats what they are doing rockstar CatlenClark ❤
Caitlin Clark is definitely setting the standard and showing the veterans how it’s done! She’s here to play, and she’s doing it like a rockstar. Keep shining, CC! ❤️
🤣 Skylar a once bulied player by other players decided to become a bully herself by pushing CC all because she is a jealous & petty player who doesn't get the attention CC gets. 🤣🤣🤣
Skylar's actions definitely sparked some drama, but at the end of the day, CC is letting her game do the talking. The focus should stay on the court and the incredible talent we're witnessing! 🏀💥
Wrong! She is destroying her own. All CC did was play basketball
Who is good enough to stop CC making Fever to win?
Right now, it feels like no one can stop Caitlin Clark and the Fever’s momentum! 💪🔥 But with the playoffs around the corner, teams like the Aces might be their toughest competition. It’s going to be an epic battle-let’s see who can rise to the challenge! 🏀👀
@@shegotgame22 I totally agree with you. If the Fever does not ignite on all eight cylinders, there sure can be a fight...👍
Don't be surprised when The Fever win the WNBA championship, with C C as Rookie of The Year, MVP of the league and the playoffs. The only thing that can stop her is an injury, or death. Godspeed Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark and the Fever are definitely making waves this season! With her talent and determination, anything’s possible. Here’s to a strong finish and a healthy, successful journey ahead! 🏀✨
mvp.....
CLARK IS MVP
No question about it-Clark is the MVP! 🏀🔥
Kitties gonna scratch

*LOL, stopping the FEVER is like trying to stop a WAVE!! It's not going to happen.*
Exactly! The Fever are riding that wave, and there’s no stopping them now! 🌊🏀
People need to chill a little. Lynx are really good and Fever are likely to lose. Don’t panic, as long as they keep the game tight I’d consider that a win.
Keeping it close against a strong team like the Lynx is definitely a win in itself. The Fever are growing with each game, so let’s stay positive and enjoy the journey! 🏀💪
Diggin stop!!what is your problem just retired already while your ahead!!
The W is loaded with emotionally unstable women who choose violence to get their way. Their prison ball model has failed.
Clark represents a civilizing of the game with competence and merit being the entertainment draw, not ominous threatening ignorance. 😎🇺🇸
Let’s keep the focus on the incredible talent and skill that players like Caitlin Clark bring to the game. Her style of play is inspiring and elevates the sport to new heights. 🏀💪
@@shegotgame22 That’s a nice way of saying the same thing. Let’s pray no one hurts her badly enough to end the parade. 😎🇺🇸
Diggins wants to play that???? Trash.
Learn respect and how to walk

Indeed!!! Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are rewriting the WNBA playbook, making history one game at a time. This team is a force like no other! 🏀✨
There's a huge point being missed here. CC was in front of the Storm bench hyping the fans behind them and NOT for the Storm!. Skylar was returning across court to rejoin her team. For sure Skylar was pissed at that, but she didn't actually attack CC. I think she was more like: "You dissing my team. Get lost.", and I also think she was right about what CC was doing. In the end, there is no big deal about this. In my mind, it's how competitive players go about their business. so let's chill about it.
Watch again, CC22 was Center Court headed to her bench when SDS approached and directed CC22 towards the Storm.
I believe SDS was trying to trigger CC22 for her 6th TF...
5 TFs should have been assessed against the 3 Coaches and 2 players entering the Fever Court box from. The Storms bench.
