There have been plenty of players who can pass like Clark does. The differentiator is adding elite shooting ability on top of that. That range and the ability to shoot off the dribble in any direction is insane.
To the Indiana Fever, 2024 was truly a season to celebrate. Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston led the charge, with Clark’s electrifying debut putting the spotlight on the team, and Boston’s continued excellence proving the Fever’s future is strong. Alongside veteran Kelsey Mitchell, who consistently delivered high-scoring performances, the Fever showed grit and determination. Their relentless drive is building more than a team-they’re building a legacy. Congratulations on a season that laid the groundwork for greatness. The best is yet to come!
Maybe...if the league can find better refs, and Sides learns how to coach. I think most her teammates have learned how to play with CC, and they can trust her to find them when they are open. After all, winning is fun!
It was very frustrating that cc has to exaggerate to get a foul but the suns were getting so man senseless easy calls… BUT MITCHELL….. omg those last 3 shots were insane to me. Not sure what she was trying to prove
She reverted to her Tasmanian Devil Dribble. She’s fast but once she picks up her dribble she’s COVERED and SMOTHERED!!! The other guys don’t move towards the ball instinctively the way they should? Next year with a new coach and some roster changes? That’s the ticket! 🎟️
No! The resulting series of strokes could leave AC aphasic - unable to speak - and then where would we be? He'll be shaking his cane in doubled frustration while spitting out "Korth Norea!".
The refs won't call a foul. She's getting mugged on every play and still doing this! If she ever gets a decent coach who knows how to utilize personnel substitutions and call timeouts... She's going to set records that will never be broken
Fax, only player in the w guarded 94 ft. all game. Makes me not respect any other player in the leauge who has a good game cause they aint guarded and doubled the same as cc 😂
no ones begging if it's a foul smart guy, tell kd to lift weights, guy cant even bench 2 45s on each side 😂 basketball players typically dont lift like that or they would all be jacked, they all have bird chests, look at curry for example 😂 u people are the bottom of the barrel and uneducated 😂 bro really thought he was spittin with those caps 😭
This guy is absolutely amazing in his analysis. I'm not a Bball fan, and know little about it, but I get his descriptions of what is happening and it all starts to fall in place. Just a great analyst.
Clark has to had fight dirty players, players with toxic agendas, insane amount of flagrant fouls, blind or corrupted refs, the coach, at first players on her own team, double teams, full court pressure, entire defensive games plans centered on her, delusional WNBA media, outright denial of her contributions and skill, and she still comes out as the best best basketball player in the league. I didn't say best scorer, or best rebounder, I said best basketball player. Just look at the points created stat.
Imagine if she goes just 3 more times to the line which is the standard for a top player(right now she gets no calls) but i think the moment she ll be unguardable even with dirty refs is when she starts hitting running midrange one legged shots...she done it a couple of times but not too comfortable with it...if it becomes part of her game you simple cant guard her...
lol, I don't think they're paying any attention to that. they just want to diss CC and her fans. and facts don't matter to them. trolling. pretty straightforward, pretty pathetic.
Haters? No one hates Caitlin Clark, that’s just a narrative invented by a bunch of conservative white dudes who want to turn Caitlin into great white hope against black people. Everyone I know here in DC thinks she’s great. Especially after she endorsed Kamala Harris. Don’t believe a few channels on youtube. Caitlin Clark is fine, it’s just a few content creators trying create this narrative that non Iowa fans hate her. We support all of the wnba.
The Fever need a head coach who is a defensive genius, and who is willing to set his ego aside and hand the offense to Clark. They don't need someone to coach the offense. They already have the best offensive mind at point guard.
100%. they need someone who realizes that CC IS the offensive coach. and they don't need a self-described "defensive coach" who doesn't know jack about defense, and is totally unable to coach her players to defend better.
Quite true, team defense, as Awful has pointed out so many times, is the Fever weakness. Even their best defender Lexi is caught out of position way too many times for it to be just a "blown assignment". It's terrible coaching that leaves the entire team looking lost on defense. One would think the Fever, having the smartest point guard in the league, would at LEAST have A/B teams with Caitlin and the bench against the rest of the starters during practices. That would be a start.
I have absolutely no problem with Caitlin Clark being outplayed, having a bad game or the Fever losing. But what the WNBA and a lot of the other teams, players and in particular the officials have done to the Fever and in particular Caitlin is just criminal and disgusting. Among many incidents she was lucky not to lose the sight in one eye. If I was her I would walk away now but she clearly lives and breathes basketball and competitive sport. So I would tell her to go play somewhere else other than the WNBA where she could thrive. But we all know she will be back next season in the WNBA. I would not bet against her once again, as this season, proving she is one of if not the best players they have and the only player that can maintain the support the league gained through her this season. I just hope she can avoid serious injury and harm in the process.
Seems she is potential for injury because other team planned to hurt her every game. They guard her too tight. She sets up her points most of the time and still scores. I have only seen few given or assisted . If someone from her teammates could do that. She can score higher. When she is open and trying to clap her hands for attention they will not pass the ball. She needs a coach who could set up a great scheme for her
Notice how the SUN were trying to fast break the floor. They basically had to beat them at their own game. CC will be known for changing the W into a more NBA type of playing style.
I’m nearly 80 years old, and I have never in my life seen game analysis better than this. I know the game fairly well, and I have eagerly looked forward to each new Fever post-game video. Caitlin Clark is truly something special, and we subscribers are very fortunate to have Awful Coaching show us just how great she really is. Thanks, coach, for all the great content - I’m already looking forward to next season. 👏👏👏👍
Always look forward to your analysis AC. You never disappoint! You should apply for the Head Coaching job for the Fever!!! I refuse to go through another season with sides. If she is still here lots of fans will be moving on.
If you slow motioned these passes people could see even better that the pass was made way before the player was even close to where the pass is caught! Like a quarterback and a wide receiver.
This is a great analysis. Two things. Clark might have been tired but she was only 3-12 from 3. If she can shoot 37-40% she can start carrying a team like Jordan did. Mitchell and the others, besides Boston, did not have a great game, which was needed to win. And the coach decided to use Clark as a decoy in the final minutes and put the game in Mitchell's hands, who made one of the worst turnovers in a critical situation I have ever seen. Talk about awful coaching.
@@MrReymoclif714 24 hours? You CANNOT be serious! What did you way? I used the word "Hoodrat" and I was banned for 24 hours. One time I said "Weave-wearing ratchets" BAM. I was suspended again....and I'm black!!
@@bigman7570 funny how they don't have as many fans.

They have em, you may just not care to watch em. Lol, aja, or however you spell her name, doesn't really excite me like that. Really, any of those gigantic players don't move me. Lol But they have some crazy good players. The thing that I always shake my head at is the defense. Coach complains about it with the fever a lot, but I see the same defensive problems in every WNBA game I watch. Lol
@@bigman7570 just trying to figure out what you mean by "quite a few who are above her level." obviously it's not about assists, or triple-doubles, or ROTY, or bringing in fans. or performance on the court while being double-teamed. so how ARE they "above her level"? you haven't said, and I haven't been able to figure it out. you want to make fun of my speculation? feel free -- just, the reason I'm speculating is because you haven't said anything, except to cast shade without any good reason. which maybe that's all you have. maybe you're just a hater. or maybe you're more about the double-doubles. (remember that debate? that was hilarious.) but yeah, ask me what my speculations have to do with anything. since you're not actually talking about anything yet.
Thank you for keeping this positive. I can’t believe we live in a SOCIETY where we allow these North Korean refs to decide the game. Some of their calls have me questioning why I was ever born. But Caitlin had a great game and a great season!
And her next season will be even better. She'll be breaking league records right and left. Imagine the most assists record for her next season as one example. The only player that will be able to break it will be...huh, Caitlin Clark.
Clark is an inspiration to our next generation. Hmm thats a good slogan now that I look at it... Anyways, Clark has gone through a lot this season and in my eyes has shown the league how it is done. Lets see if the league can take in that info is the question.
Never thought I would be sad to see the end of the WNBA season lol. It ended yesterday for probably the majority of WNBA viewers btw. In case people are confused, it ended yesterday. All of us CC fans who only watched the WNBA games she played in this year will be back next year and hopefully the league, the refs, and opposing players have moved past the CC hate by then and actually embrace the fact that she's brining in eyeballs and putting money in all their pockets that they've been complaining for so long were too empty. We'll see.
need some kind of lawsuit, or Congressional hearing, or NBA "what are we putting our funding into??" investigation. because this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. not to mention p!ssing away a lot of new fans and new interest and new money, to protect -- what? CC hatred?
yes yes that's why CC has have that ball coming down the court 100% of the time she is the mastermind QB she will set the tone- mitchell better start waking up to that fact
Km can't even dribble with her head up 😂 1v5 hero ball cause coach lets it happen. I woulda told km u look for cc every rip! The 6th grade unorganized bs makes cc cringe every possession 😂
100% -- except "mitchell better start waking up to that fact"? in the playoffs??? how about a half-season ago? which she DID. just, somehow she forgot that.
Maybe next year the Fever will get some coaches that knows how to teach defense. Maybe next year the refs will start figuring out how to call muggings. I have to admit though that the Sun outran the Fever. They beat the Fever at their own name.
well, they might have, but personally (caution: CC fan) I think it would be one and one now, if it weren't for Sun fouling and biased refereeing. were the Sun effective at beating the Fever at their own game? in game 1, yes; in game 2, no. and if CC and KM could both be on at the same time, and coach Sides could stop screwing with the rotation? then I'd expect the Fever to go 2 to 1 in the first round. and probably lose the semi-finals, since they don't have any bench.
Clark admitted that her first game was less than ideal. She was 4/17 from the field, and only 2/13 on three-point attempts. The second game looked better, but 3/12 on three-point attempts isn't "unbelievable." For the series, she was 14/40 from the field including 5/25 beyond the arc. The good news is that she had 17 assists and only five turnovers.
This is an Awful Take. You do realize they lost right? Clark didn’t shoot in the last 4 minutes? Thomas had 26 assists in the two games. What about her?
yes they lost. why? partly because CC didn't shoot in the fourth quarter, or even get the ball to distribute. the Sun were hot. they were also really really aggressive. and the refs let them get away with it, but penalized the Fever.
Just looking at the footage is proof that the foul was completely planned to take Clark out of the game and possibly the league because you can't play with one eye
I don't need to watch the refs, thanks. Last night's game was awful to watch thanks to such biased officiating. 20 fouls to only 11? You have to be kidding me. How does CC only shoot 2 FT's last night? Absurd. Hell in this video you see her get fouled 3 times in the lane when shooting. No calls. Horrible, hateful/biased officiating, period.
@@Wraithlen Lmaoo Cry some more CC 3-12 from 3 . But u blame the refs lol Alyssa Thomas did whatever she wanted but u blame refs. CC give up the dagger 3 ball to Mabrey but u blame the refs . Yall are sad😂😂😂
@@Talkaboutitmedia5 Oh, I see the people who hand out so called mvps's are infallible ?? LOL They can't even define what "valuabe" means. Stop being delusional.
The other teams are slow. Maybe they don't want to mess their makeup and hair up. The long fingernails are a joke, and should be outlawed by the league. Is this a fashion league, or a basketball league.
YOU NEED TO BREAK DOWN THE WHOLE FEVER GAME NOT JUST THE GOOD BUT THE DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWNS, THE LACK OF SPACING WITH THE PLAYERS, THE WEAK SCREENS, TO MANY HIGH SCREENS FOR HIGH PICK AND ROLLS, NO OFFICENSE SETS OR PLAYS ETC....
Basically, since CC was on the floor 40 minutes, if she could stay vertical, the Fever should have run all night long with her at the point. To not use your #1 pick to the fullest extent possible is asinine. It defies logic, as you said, not to use her, especially in the last game.
good point -- except, as the #1 offense player, that's not really her job. it would help if she were better -- but what NEEDS to happen is, coach Sides gets a freaking clue about how coach defense. (the "defensive coach.") and everyone on the team (except LH) decides to learn how to play defense. not CC's fault. though it's a lovely stick to beat her with. "you're not doing enough, assisting and playmaking and shooting 3s and mid-range jumpers: be a defender! get with the program!" okay yeah that would be lovely, and make her a shoo-in for MVP next year. just, how likely is that to happen?
Yep. The first game the Fever weren't going to win. Couldn't make a shot. Last night they were pretty much hosed out of a win by simply biased officiating. It was so lopsided I wanted to punch the damn screen. How does CC only shoot TWO ft's after getting fouled probably 25 times during the game. Just pathetic that the league has such hateful/bias/corrupt refs. The Fever need to send a good, long video of the HAMMERING CC took with no fouls called this season. Mabrey CLUBBED her in the damn head on a shot last night and NOTHING was called. HOW? The bald ref was standing 6 feet from it! Clearly corrupt/biased.
@@Wraithlen When your referees have to go through Butch training camp, you're going to find their calls are going to be one sided towards their alphabet soup community
AND coaching. and KM went hero-ball, but didn't come through with a great game. if it was just one or two of these, they would have pulled it out. but all together? no.
I actually learned from you that I like watching basketball when you explain what's happening. Otherwise it just looks like a bunch of people running about with a ball.
I found your channel cuz of Clark. I watch your frustration vids cuz you seem to know the game... Better than me. This video was great. Thanks for making it.

If they don't CC might not be there. She can always buy out her contract and play in Europe. They have some good leagues over there.
@@deepcosmiclove She doesn't need to buy it out She can just leave the WNBA.

Uhhh, you NEED to be Indiana's next coach!
Never thought I would be sad to see the end of the WNBA season lol. It ended yesterday for probably the majority of WNBA viewers btw. In case people are confused, it ended yesterday. All of us CC fans who only watched the WNBA games she played in this year will be back next year and hopefully the league, the refs, and opposing players have moved past the CC hate by then and actually embrace the fact that she's brining in eyeballs and putting money in all their pockets that they've been complaining for so long were too empty. We'll see.
Excellent commentary and analysis. CC is amazing.
Been waiting for this knowledge drop. Lets gooo
need an entire video of just wrecking the wnba refs
need some kind of lawsuit, or Congressional hearing, or NBA "what are we putting our funding into??" investigation. because this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. not to mention p!ssing away a lot of new fans and new interest and new money, to protect -- what? CC hatred?
@@outsidethegardenBest comment today!
yes yes that's why CC has have that ball coming down the court 100% of the time she is the mastermind QB she will set the tone- mitchell better start waking up to that fact
Km can't even dribble with her head up 😂 1v5 hero ball cause coach lets it happen. I woulda told km u look for cc every rip! The 6th grade unorganized bs makes cc cringe every possession 😂
100% -- except "mitchell better start waking up to that fact"? in the playoffs??? how about a half-season ago?
which she DID. just, somehow she forgot that.
KM reverted to her old ways.
NEXT LEVEL !!!
Do a video on Prime Derrick Rose
Maybe next year the Fever will get some coaches that knows how to teach defense. Maybe next year the refs will start figuring out how to call muggings. I have to admit though that the Sun outran the Fever. They beat the Fever at their own name.
well, they might have, but personally (caution: CC fan) I think it would be one and one now, if it weren't for Sun fouling and biased refereeing. were the Sun effective at beating the Fever at their own game? in game 1, yes; in game 2, no.
and if CC and KM could both be on at the same time, and coach Sides could stop screwing with the rotation? then I'd expect the Fever to go 2 to 1 in the first round. and probably lose the semi-finals, since they don't have any bench.
Watch how empty the stadiums will be without CC, the low ratings. watch
The most surprising part of the game for me was that the first round of the WNBA playoffs is a best of 3 series - I didn't know that until now.
Lmaoo 3-12 from 3 10-23 overall and gave up the dagger 3 to Mabrey. Yall show so much favoritism 😂😂😂
Thank you for covering Caitlin this year. Every video of yours, I appreciate her more -- and you!
All U got to do is involve Clark on defense, bucket every time, that's why they lost, Clark can't or won't play defense! Not like Curry, faker!
Clark admitted that her first game was less than ideal. She was 4/17 from the field, and only 2/13 on three-point attempts. The second game looked better, but 3/12 on three-point attempts isn't "unbelievable." For the series, she was 14/40 from the field including 5/25 beyond the arc. The good news is that she had 17 assists and only five turnovers.
Pretty amazing. Talk about high basketball IQ.
This analysis is so great and helps us all appreciate Caitlin Clark’s basketball IQ. Thanks!!
This is an Awful Take. You do realize they lost right? Clark didn’t shoot in the last 4 minutes? Thomas had 26 assists in the two games. What about her?
yes they lost. why? partly because CC didn't shoot in the fourth quarter, or even get the ball to distribute.
the Sun were hot. they were also really really aggressive. and the refs let them get away with it, but penalized the Fever.
If he makes a video about Alyssa Thomas he'll get far less views than Clark's ones. (I'm not criticizing btw, this is just a fact)
Great analysis! Thanks for setting it up so I could see ahead of time her brilliance prior to her display.
Just looking at the footage is proof that the foul was completely planned to take Clark out of the game and possibly the league because you can't play with one eye
I'd love to have this analysis for the NBA playoffs!
Refs should not wear black pants if one team wears all black
UNBELIEVABLY A ZERO ON DEFENSE. ZERO RINGS AGAIN.
the fevers coaching is abysmal man, literally lost them that game
Make a video calling out the refs, it could be an hour long, loads of content!
^ this
Cry
LOVE THESE! So sad CC season is over.....
Post a video about the winners
I don't need to watch the refs, thanks. Last night's game was awful to watch thanks to such biased officiating. 20 fouls to only 11? You have to be kidding me. How does CC only shoot 2 FT's last night? Absurd. Hell in this video you see her get fouled 3 times in the lane when shooting. No calls. Horrible, hateful/biased officiating, period.
@@Wraithlen Lmaoo Cry some more CC 3-12 from 3 . But u blame the refs lol Alyssa Thomas did whatever she wanted but u blame refs. CC give up the dagger 3 ball to Mabrey but u blame the refs . Yall are sad😂😂😂
THIS IS THE KATELYNN CLARK FAN CLUB YT CHANNEL
@@K_K_KATE_FIELDS I’m starting to notice that too
This dude being real corny
You and Clark are both the best at what you do.
If she was the best she would have the mvp and not be home stop being delusional
@@Talkaboutitmedia5 Oh, I see the people who hand out so called mvps's are infallible ?? LOL
They can't even define what "valuabe" means.
Stop being delusional.
He should be on Outkick.
She needs to learn how to go right.
GREAT post! Thanks!
The other teams are slow. Maybe they don't want to mess their makeup and hair up. The long fingernails are a joke, and should be outlawed by the league.
Is this a fashion league, or a basketball league.
Other team sent her home 😂
This was beautiful.
Great video..
YOU NEED TO BREAK DOWN THE WHOLE FEVER GAME NOT JUST THE GOOD BUT THE DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWNS, THE LACK OF SPACING WITH THE PLAYERS, THE WEAK SCREENS, TO MANY HIGH SCREENS FOR HIGH PICK AND ROLLS, NO OFFICENSE SETS OR PLAYS ETC....
the caps-lock key is on your left, on the home row. if you'd like to add emphasis to a comment, you can always use the exclamation mark: Shift-1. yw.
5:46 Why is the ref doing a better job of getting back on defense than the Sun players?
The sun won 😂🤷🏾♂️
Basically, since CC was on the floor 40 minutes, if she could stay vertical, the Fever should have run all night long with her at the point. To not use your #1 pick to the fullest extent possible is asinine. It defies logic, as you said, not to use her, especially in the last game.
defies logic, and proves that the Fever have incompetent coaching. sigh.
clark❤❤
Thank you!
She's really great. Now, on her defense...
good point -- except, as the #1 offense player, that's not really her job. it would help if she were better -- but what NEEDS to happen is, coach Sides gets a freaking clue about how coach defense. (the "defensive coach.") and everyone on the team (except LH) decides to learn how to play defense.
not CC's fault. though it's a lovely stick to beat her with. "you're not doing enough, assisting and playmaking and shooting 3s and mid-range jumpers: be a defender! get with the program!" okay yeah that would be lovely, and make her a shoo-in for MVP next year. just, how likely is that to happen?
MY GOAT
The fever could have beat the sun but they can't beat the referees.
Yep. The first game the Fever weren't going to win. Couldn't make a shot. Last night they were pretty much hosed out of a win by simply biased officiating. It was so lopsided I wanted to punch the damn screen. How does CC only shoot TWO ft's after getting fouled probably 25 times during the game. Just pathetic that the league has such hateful/bias/corrupt refs. The Fever need to send a good, long video of the HAMMERING CC took with no fouls called this season. Mabrey CLUBBED her in the damn head on a shot last night and NOTHING was called. HOW? The bald ref was standing 6 feet from it! Clearly corrupt/biased.
@@Wraithlenthey got outplayed. Cry.
They got outplayed and outcoached
@@cmoney0Q WRONG.
@@Wraithlen When your referees have to go through Butch training camp, you're going to find their calls are going to be one sided towards their alphabet soup community
How did they lose was it because of the poor refereeing?
AND coaching. and KM went hero-ball, but didn't come through with a great game. if it was just one or two of these, they would have pulled it out. but all together? no.
I was so disappointed from the first game that I forgot to watch the second one.
The Fever is one player short of making a run.
And one coach!
@@darrelchovanec9150
and a half-dozen unbiased referees.
I'd consider paying money for your analysis of her golf game. I wouldn't, but I'd consider it.
Awful Coaching you beauty…I think I’ll be watching WNBA when CC22 plays…for now …just watching CCs highlights 😊
Bravo! Give Caitlin her flowers. She's more than earned them! 👏👏👏
Post Alyssa Thomas dominating. Where’s the breakdown to that?
I actually learned from you that I like watching basketball when you explain what's happening. Otherwise it just looks like a bunch of people running about with a ball.
Hopped on the Caitlin Clark freight train. She turned on the jets, turned the corner and step-back 3⛹🏼Bravo, Coach.
I found your channel cuz of Clark. I watch your frustration vids cuz you seem to know the game... Better than me.
This video was great. Thanks for making it.
