THIS Is Why Christie Sides BENCHED Kelsey Mitchell In The First Half

- THIS Is Why Christie Sides BENCHED Kelsey Mitchell In The First Half. Yesterday, the Indiana Fever Took On the Phoenix Mercury. Surprisingly, Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever won. Caitlin Clark had an amazing performance. Kelsey Mitchell also had an outstanding performance. But, it’s worth noting that Kelsey Mitchell only played the first 6 minutes of the first half. After that, Christie Sides benched her. Surprisingly, when Kelsey returned, her play style was TOTALLY DIFFERENT. What happened? In this video, I give an answer.
#wnba #indianafever #caitlinclark #kelseymitchell
Honestly I see you as dead wrong about Mitchell feeding the ball to CC or anyone else all season. BS, friend. I've watched every game. And her 2-3 Assists a game says she doesn't feed ANYONE. You need to go back and count the passes and assists like you have CC's TO's. Very enlightening stuff. Mitchell gets no rebounds, drives into traffic out of control, and takes every shot she can no matter how cold or not she may be. This take is a miss from you imho. The problem with Kelsey Mitchell is she hates that this was HER team last year, and it never will be again. Mitchell is part of the problem because she never was and never will be a team player. And definitely not a support player, which with CC on the team, she automatically becomes because the game runs in, around, and through CC. A Sabrina Ionescu type G would be what will bring championships - NOT KM. Send her packing end of year and go get the right talent.
That’s a mistake on my part. I wasn’t too clear. What I meant was: we haven’t seen a lot of Kelsey feeding the ball to Caitlin all season. I just spoke too fast, my mistake.
🙏
The dude is saying what Kelsey has to do to be successful on THIS team. She is still stuck on her dribbling all game and taking all the shots. She had an awesome game with like 20 but with only 2 assists, like you say, without Rebounding. If she doesn't shape up, she will be benched and later traded. I say trade Kelsey and Wheeler for a spot up 3-point shooter but I do I like the coach is being patient with her because I would have her come off the bench.
Even you you're right, I still like this guys take. Most of the other channels are click baity and just talk crap mostly
Carter you rock! Like your analysis. Very humble of you to retract what you said, but I knew what you meant. Someone always going to knit pick.
Excellent analysis! I told my wife Kelsie won't pass the ball to Caitlin. After Kelsie came back in the game, she tapped Caitlin and said a few words. Caitlin nodded, and everything changed! Thanks for explaining. Now I think I know what she was told. Good stuff!
Your analysis is correct. I actually believe that's why Sides took her out of the game.....her selfishness. Kelsey worries that she will not shine with Caitlin on the team...contrary...Caitlin is a team player...who will find her anytime she is open....Kelsey needs to release her tunnel vision....Caitlin reads the court, her vision is epic!
They finally listened to what the fans were saying. Bench the ball hoggers so they can learn to be team players.
Exactly. CC makes everyone around her better.
If KM utilizes CC, KM will have more opportunity to have open shots.
The Fever doesn’t need heroes. They just need team players.
CC wants Kelsey Mitchell to shine. She’s a team player and she knows it takes a team to win (and up her assist stats)
she lost for 6 years streight she dont deserve shine
Apparently, many of these wnba players would rather cut off their own noses to spite their own faces rather than profit. Kelsey needs to be traded if she doesn't commit to the new role. It may be a lacking of basketball IQ on many of their parts.
Mitchell passed in the 2nd half. First time that I saw her pass all year.
You haven't paid attention You just talking to talk
@@brianrobinson4710you know these fans are 🤡they don’t know nothing really
@@brianrobinson4710 She averages 1.9 assists per game and 1.9 rebounds per game. She’s on her own team of one.
@jamesdellaneve9005 she's 5'8 how many rebounds are you expecting thr shortest player on the team to get. Plus she is by far the best and most consistent scorer on the team. They were losing in the first half because she wasn't playing
@@brianrobinson4710 What does her height have to do with passing? They should call her the black hole (astronomy) because when an object comes her way, it’s never seen again. Rebounds in the WNBA aren’t like the NBA where the biggest guy under the basket sucks it in. The girls miss by bigger margins and many rebounds happen all over the place. In fact, in the first few games for the Fever, no one was rebounding. They’d all start running back to their basket as soon as the shot was taken.
Kelsey Mitchell gets the ball, runs the length of the court, takes on the entire Mercury team by herself thinking she was a combination of Superman, Wonder Woman and the Flash, never once thinking about or looking for the open man, does a donut move under the basket, heads to the corner and throws up a clunker. Breathtaking. Her teammates are looking on no doubt thinking, what the Hell Mitchell? This was the ultimate 'not a team player' move, and it didn't work, nor did it impress anyone. That is why she was rightfully benched until the 2nd half of the game when she, perhaps begrudgingly, corrected her selfish, me first play. Maybe she will learn how to pass the ball to the open man, maybe not. But if not more bench time awaits.
Your "gravity" discussion is right on. Caitlin draws two and three defenders. Shooters spread the floor. Clark will find whomever is open.
Seriously you’re videos are what I look forward to. It’s nice to just talk basketball with the fever instead of all the other crap!
Can't trash CC if its about the basketball....Her passing is still underrated. and the fact she isn't taking her playmaking to the Olympics is crazy.
Finally, Coach Christy Sides sent Kelsey Mitchell a Message.
Mitchell's was the reason for the 14-2 early run mercury obtained
Finally, Finally, Finally! Should have been done 2 months ago
Yeah leave this bs as soon as your contract is up....I would play with that hype prumadona who thinks the world should cater to her, she's not special
Should of happened from day 1
She was partially benched the game before
So Sides is clearly sending her a message
Late in this game I seen the guards actually giving Clark the 🏀
She gets the message
If not get benched again
Dude I don’t know how old you are but damn you have a career as top flight nba coach . Keep doing your thing
I think Carter has a future behind a desk and in front of cameras. He probably writes his own scripts (can never te!l with AI) and is also, probably a communications major. After he graduates, he can use these posts to show the TV producers how well he expresses himself on camera. Just needs a stylist so he doesn't look too nerdy.
I agree, this kid is brilliant. I can also see him as a sports writer or commentator. He will go far in whatever he does, even this.
💯!! Kelsey Mitchell is so good, she just needs to realize she doesn’t have to work so hard for it anymore bc CC will feed her the ball! Love watching this team grow together ❤️❤️❤️
I think Kelsey could easily average 22 points a game, 50% from the field and 42% from the 3 point line if she lets Clark play her game. She is actually a better shooter than Clark right now.
She seems to be trusting cc more but has some bad habits still.
Carter, you WIN the internet today. This is the SMARTEST, TRUEST, MOST COHERENT delivery of Kelsey Mitchell and the battle she must fight and win to grow with this team that is now led by the ultimate in gravity, Ms. Caitlin Clark. You've taken me to school today and I feel enlightened. Subscribed, liked and looking forward to your next assessment. Well done.
Such a great phrase... "take advantage of her gravity" ... yeah, Caitlin attracts so hard that time slows down dramatically around her... she was actually born in 1738.
I don't know how old Carter is, but I get WAY more out of listening to his opinions than I do listening to the majority of televised sportscasters.
Edit: Subscribed
I agree!
ESPN nowadays is about shouting and arguing, not about sports.
Yes, he can look forward to a promo deal with a razor manufacturer when he's old enough to shave! ;-)
Mr Carter is "always" spot on, so far! He should be on his way up the ladder!
Your points are spot on. Mitchel will get a ton of shots if she just settles in to playing as a team. The second half was proof of that.
Mitchell played within the offense in the second half
Option was bench or the game plan
Top shelf analysis; no hot takes; clearly explained with examples that you replay.
This is the first timee Sides has shown coaching ability this year. Benching the Hero-Baller Mitchell was brilliant and her reaction was very positive. You can tell she hates being second or third banana on the team, but that is how the team will reach its' potential. If she cannot become a better teammate to CC then she wlll have to go, which I'd be okay with if it comes to that.
Me too and many more would agree with that
Excellent breakdown. You hit it spot on. The problem is KM will have a problem understanding her role. She wants to dribble her way to create a play. That will fail. CC points and assists accounted for 44 of the 88 Fever points. CC looks for and creates opportunities for all open players. C is not being selfish. KM need to adjust
Man!, You know your stuff. I am learning a lot from you!!!
I am learning so much from you, truly enjoying your analysis. You are going to convert me into a real BB fan and not just someone crushing on CC's talent. And please don't be afraid to discuss really basic things. (i shuffle my feet, clears my throat, and admits to you I just figured out how a pick play works). Thanks Carter
Once again something different from all the other videos I’ve watched about this game. Very clever and informative!! Awesome breakdown 🤙
Your first comment on Mitchell states the whole problem, SHE USED TO BE THE GO TO STAR.
The Fever should be taking a look at your videos honestly. Whoever they have as their video analyst has not made an impact.
I love your commentary. It's very helpful.
K. Mitchell should watch and listen to the ConvosWithCarter chips!
Great job explaining how Mitchell should take advantage of Caitlin Clark's gravity ... with lots of video examples to demonstrate your point.
Terrific breakdowns. Absolutely agree. Mitchell was the leading scorer (for many seasons) on losing Fever teams...and she was perfectly fine with it. If you're trying to change a losing culture (in sports or in the corporate world), the first thing you have to do is get rid of the personnel who were responsible for creating that losing culture. These people are always resentful of change; they were never challenged on anything before. Losing was accepted and ultimately expected.
I hope you’re wrong because she could be a valuable asset to this team.
@@dandydon6049 I hope so, too. Maybe the benching helped wake her up. She definitely could be a valuable asset. But a losing mentality is extremely hard to change, especially when it's been ingrained in you for so long.
This young man has more knowledge than many basketball coaches in wnba and nba.
I think you’re right about what happened. And it WORKED! I hope this is a turning point for the team!
Her pride is her worst enemy!!! She's not ready to share that "imaginary platform" she has in her head that still belongs to her she's not willing to give up...when she has no clue CC owns the very Ground that platform stands on!!!
Great video, I’m not convinced that Sides is as smart as you and that she saw what you saw. We’ll see in the game tomorrow against the Aces.
You deserve more subscribers! Great breakdown, again. I hope the coach or Kelsey actually see this video, because no lies have been told here. Kelsey is a perfect fit for this team, if she plays like she did in most of the second half. No need to make life harder with all that dribbling and going into traffic. Space the floor and take advantage of Caitlin. I hope they manage to ride this wave until the Olympic break. They are just so much better and so much fun to watch when they play the run and gun style. Playing set half court offense is again, making things harder for themselves than they need to be. Literally all they have to do is rebound/inbound, get the ball to CC and everyone run. Not many teams could keep up with that pace.
I really appreciate that you can break down the game intelligently, bringing in context from recent history, in a no nonsense style. But it's just as important that you get the human element, remembering that basketball isn't just x's and o's, it's people trying to build something together.
Most of these fans yelling and screaming "ball hog," and "selfish" are in it for the adrenaline and the dopamine, to feel good about trashing someone. That's so easy to do and it's missing so much forest for the trees. What you're describing with the trust and gradual growth is sane and nuanced. Kelsey Mitchell is a baller! Her speed, shooting stroke, and competitive fire are so valuable. And then also, she gets tunnel vision at times, pounds the air out of the ball, and it's frustrating. But for 6 years Kels was pretty much the only bright spot on this team. She HAD to play hero ball for us to have any chance to win at all. It takes time to shift that mindset. I feel like by the end of last season Kels trusted Aliyah and it showed. So she is teachable. The challenge is showing her how she can shift her mindset again, still be great in a different way, and win at the game she loves.
Any fan of the Indiana Fever should want and be excited to see her grow and succeed with her team. Because sure, we can trade her. But the grass is not always greener, and CC and Mitchell could be absolutely deadly together. Then you put Aliyah and Smith (who has to get more consistent but there's talent there!) into the mix, and...whew.
I don't think Coach Sides if the devil like so many of our new fans do. The way they trash her and make up these storylines in their heads like they actually know is a little disturbing. 😅 All that being said...I am not sure yet if Sides is the right fit for the team as the lead voice. I think we will have a better sense of it around the break.
Anyway, so glad the algorithm served you up! Subscribing!
Celeste Taylor could have been the firecracker this team needs off the bench, but now, we will never know. Wheeler and Mitchell are playing dinosaur ball (this is how you get the first or second overall pick season for three years kind of play).
They need defense. They should have gave her a shot. Horrible roster management by Dunn
What's the difference between kelsey Mitchell and time?????.... TIME PASSES
Your take and analysis is always spot on! That’s why I always look and watch your show in a regular basis! Outstanding work!!!
Great analysis and I totally agree with you, Mitchell is a very good shooter and has good speed but that is her limit. CC is the floor general and can make Mitchell a star of the game if only she has full trust in CC, and that goes for the rest of the team as well.
Sides benched her for not playing game plan. It was to take the ball out and not ISO. KM had an agenda. I personally don't want her on the team anymore man. I've said that game 3 or 5 at their post game conference. 2nd half you can see her giving it back up for sure. lol.
Another cool behavior on CC : th-cam.com/video/xSIQYtGCIG0/w-d-xo.html
Sides was like get w the program or get w the bench. Glad she wised up
BTW - In my haste to get my thoughts on paper, I didn't say that those 2 points were the only things I disagreed with. You're a well thought out podcaster with basketball knowledge and ability to articulate it. Press on, Carter.
Only post I've seen so far that acknowledged Mitchell actually being benched in 1st half rather "just not playing much". None of the TV announcers or halftime studio crew wanted to go there. And I think the analysis here is spot on. Mitchell obviously wasn't playing within the framework of what Sides wanted, but given a 2nd chance in 2nd half she was a key element in the win.
Insightful analysis and fine presentation. The WNBA is chock full of egos. (This is not unique to the league; egos abound in other professions.) My sense is that much of what some fans and commentators decry as “hate” for or “jealousy” of Caitlin Clark among certain (though not all) veteran WNBA players and coaches is expression of ego, a desire/demand for CC/rookie/new-fan respect and a sense of “having paid dues” (thus having “ownership” in the league/game). Your presentation emphasizes that Kelsey Mitchell is not being disrespected or relegated to a journeyman role when she plays “off ball”. I think that’s important - to Mitchell and her followers. Similarly, it explains why Diana Taurasi’s pre-season comments about rookies (and, to my ear, Clark especially though not by name) would sound so entitled, dismissive and even disdainful yet Taurasi would be respectful of Clark before, during and after Sunday’s game.
Loved this video breakdown. Best one I've seen that didnt focus on hype and only focused on the game itself.
Another excellent analysis by my favorite guy on the internet. I am troubled by the thought that Christie Sides might've actually made a good coaching decision. I still think she should be fired, but maybe she can improve, too. Keep up the great reviews with such knowledge and enthusiasm. Love it when a new one pops up.
First I hear there may be a coaching opening on the fever. I choose YOu.
Seems like the Indiana fever literally is taking coaching from influencers. It’s crazy.
Bro, that sister got to give the ball to CC right away and chill. Same fo Wheeler. We don't need no one on one hocus pokus
That Kyrie comparison is a really good one. She can be the Kyrie vet with the awesome handles to CC’s Luka scoring and play making.
Yep
Quite an astute analysis.
Another gem Carter! Imagine if you were an advisor for the Fever 🔥
Great video. Thank you! I love and respect Kelsey but some of the things she does confused me and I didn’t want to reduce her down to a ball hog especially with such improvement from the beginning of the season. If Kelsey can get with CC like Aliyah, Temi, etc. the fever will be play off material
Thanks for sharing your analysis of this game! It makes so much sense.
Great analysis Carter. Looking forward to the next one.
You are absolutely correct. This proves Sides know basketball and more convincing Sides intentionally sabotages Clark time after time. Fire Dunn and get a GM that will fire Sides.
What's the difference between kelsey Mitchell and time??? ........ TIME PASSES.
🔥🔥🔥 Nice to see the young generation doing it right. Great analysis my friend, you got mi Like and Subscription on your channel. keep it up bro. 👊🏼👍🏼
Very good clarity for those that are uninformed!
You are sharp my guy, you know ball frfr. I honestly can't believe it's taken Mitch this long to get it because what I was thinking her first thoughts were gonna be was "if I let her bring it up court and draw the double I'm gonna score 30 ah game." It sounds weird but if you know who Mitch is then it makes perfect sense because she has to eat. If Mitch ain't eating then she will screw up the game frfr. Her problem is trust though but HOPEFULLY she gets it now because I think if she puts up 30 tomorrow night they can get the biggest win they've had in years. Mitch can do it trust me, if she gets in a zone she can run it up. As long as everybody else isn't standing around looking at her and CC they can run them out the gym. If her and CC go off it is completely over. CC knows what Mitch can do that's why she was so hype when Mitch was cooking them in the second half. Let CC run them in the ground and Mitch put 22-30 on they head top and it's a wrap, pace and space the rest of the teams to death. Everybody contributing is cool but Mitch as the leading scorer is optimal and it's the only way that CC is gonna ever get normal defense played on her in any kinda half speed half court set.
Carter, you are brilliant. I wish I could invest in your future. If I owned the Fever, I would make this video required viewing for players and coaches. This channel is really going to blow up; I hope you are ready. I will call you Coach Carter because I am learning so much from you. Good luck in all you do.
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you, and good luck to you as well! 💯🤝
Great analysis! Dribble, dribble, dribble shoot!!! lol KM belongs on the bench if she’s not passing and running plays.
Nice clips showing exactly what you're talking about, as usual! :)
Sorry folks! This gentleman doing the video is DAR (dead ass Right) Every sport will have the same scenario, no matter what. This is what is being coached. Before you even take the field, floor, etc.
if you are a player you say to yourself : what is the defense showing me. Then, you go from there.
Look for opportunities! Caitlin knows this from the very beginning of the game. Why does she continuously surveying the floor when she crosses center court? She is looking for a game plan.
If there isn't one, she will move the ball left to right and up and back all the time watching the defense.
She isn't just wasting time with her dribbling. What a smart player she is!
Dude you are so good at telling the truth that’s all that matters to me bro you need to be there coach ❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a really quick follow! 😎
This is the best breakdown of the Fever’s lack of use of CC’s talent I’ve seen yet.
Bravo! 👏
You are a smart young man, Great analysis.
That was the move I've been waiting for all season from coach Sides. She needed to punish Mitchell and one other player for freezing Clark out at times and establish once and for all who's running the offense. KM was a different player when she came back out and Caitlin rewarded her several times with wide open shots. Caitlin is not a selfish player and her playmaking and passing are off the charts. When her teammates fully buy in to that, as some already have, everyone will benefit.
Great analysis. The Fever is learning each others' tendencies and becoming a serious contender for the championship. Not a stretch. This is a great team. GO FEVER!!!
Great video!!! I learned so much!!💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding commentary. Taught me a thing or two. Thank you.
Thank you again for helping me learn! Excited for tonight's game.
Such a solid analysis. Thank you for the leveled tone and video backing up your points.
Mitchell is a solid shooter and can be clutch, but you are right that she needs to slow down and let the game come to her.
You made the Kyrie comparison, I will say that she could be Klay to Caitlin being Curry. Klay made a career off being a great catch and shoot guy who profited off the attention paid to Curry and knowing where to be for the open look shot.
The fever need you as the coach. Excellent analysis.
Mitchell and Wheeler want to play Hero Ball! Christy needs to play Hull and Samuelson more and bring back the back to back DPOY Celeste Taylor and cut Wheeler. God Bless
Best video in YT about this game man! 👌 I'm subscribing!
KM just need to re-watch and re-watch how Jewel Lloyd played against the fever and learn!
Excellent analysis that is spot on!!
Great take little Brother! 💯
I think one thing I (half) disagree with is when you say that KM should just be playing off-ball. I think you are mostly correct I just wanna put an addendum on it. If Kelsey plays more off-ball and lets the offense run through CC, yes it’ll generate more open looks for her to catch and shoot easy, open shots. But! I also think that if she does that it will allow her to play the type of game she seems to enjoy the most, 1 on 1 iso.
You used the Kyrie example and I think that is so accurate. Kyrie will play off-ball and get a lot of open looks but that is also what allows him to later on in the game be able to take people off the dribble because now that he’s established himself as an outside threat, he can drive to the basket on late closeouts. I think the same can happen with Kelsey. I say this because one of the dopest plays I saw this year was Kelsey sprinting to the cup and catching an alley for a layup and a foul. *That* was elite
Just looked it up, it was June 1st against the Sky. At 7:57 from full game highlights
“You are a Kelsey Mitchell” I loved that
Great info, makes sense. From your mouth to the coach's ears.
You nailed this analysis.
Great analysis
That was a very good point. I give props to coach Sides for benching. It takes a lot of courage to bench your former star player and go with...Erica Wheeler? Wallace? ....takes some balls for sure...
Thank you for great analysis.
Carter you are very good at your game.
I’m new to basketball and learning a lot from your channel! Thank you for your analysis and explanations. You’re keeping above the trash talking gossip as a Godly young man. Thank you!
An intelligent analysis.❤it
Great stuff man ⭐️☕️
Clark was the leading vote-getter among fans, receiving 700,735 with her Indiana teammate Aliyah Boston finishing second, 72,000 votes behind. Reese was fifth with 381,518 votes. Wilson and Stewart were third and fourth. Wilson garnered 607,300 votes and Stewart had 424,135
First time watching a video from you. Honest opinion. Like your review...
Clark is reported to have had a migraine during that game. She played great if she had a migraine.
Also, Caitlin did not talk to the press after the game--migraine.
I've was screaming a month ago that KM did not pass to CC. Finally the coach said CC needs fifteen attempts. So, after a month, the coach finally gets it and the rest of the Fever Faces get it.
Thank you for a lucid, thoughtful analysis.
Very good Carter!!!!
I knew what you meant. Great analysis as usual, thanks!
Good smart commentary
Mitchell wants to increase her own stats
Great stuff! Terrific analysis and great clip selection showing Kelsey Mitchell and how she was playing 1v5 and Coach Sides finally had the guts to bench her for it. Way better 2nd half she played. Also kudos for the improvements in your presenter skills, better use of your hands. Just for fun, maybe you could try some whiteboard diagramming stuff one of these times, since you really like to involve your hands in your communication, might even make diagramming out explanations part of your brand.
This guy is good!…
Mitchell is not a team player, bench is the best place for her
She can come out as a bench player. She is a very good shooter most of the time, but she should be told to not dribble so much, and especially inside the paint. Too many taller players hinder her from scoring too often. She needs to draw the double team and shoot the ball out to an open player if she is cornered. She forces the shot too often right under the basket...lots of players do that for some reason...It is hard to shoot from right under the basket.
You can't bench anybody that can put up 30 as a small guard so you can forget that 😂. They just need her to buy in. If she lets CC run these girls into the ground and draw the doubles then Mitch can win MVP scoring 22-30 ah game and CC will lock up rookie of the year.
She shoots much better off the catch and shoot wide open from Clark
That's why she came back in and won the dang game for them
Trade is better!
I never agree with anyone, so don't even---I think you're spot on, knew what you were saying. It's funny watching teams not understand that roles change, things shift--maybe a different player added, maybe an injury, whatever. I love women's play, b/c of the play, the moves, the team game. CC is the ít' girl, but not just her shots. She's all around player, feeds shots, watches moves--and appreciates other team's skill. She's Chill. What she thinks privately is her own. You can tell CC played lots of sports, all day, all night--w neighbors, brothers, dad, anybody. She likes playing.
CC is the facilitator of the team, Mitchell is the shooter. CC should always bring the ball up and with CC's dishing ability will find Mitchell wide open to the point Mitchell might end up being the league leader in points.
I coached soccer and there was one team in our league that was wicked and they had one great player, we ended up defeating them in our second play against them because I literally did a strategy to shut down their outstanding forward which allowed the rest of our team to get on the game and it removed this outstanding player from leading the rest of her team and their usual play. When you have a star you have to play differently and there is no room for Jealousy on a team or not acknowledging where your strengths are and who you need to be utilizing
