And lastly. CC you are a class act. You complement the competition, no excuses in a loss. Parents raised you right. This is why this girl gets all the love she does. People respect class.
The issue every 4th quarter is Coach Sides goes to Wheeler to run point which stagnates offense instead of riding CC who got 15-pts big leads by pushing ball quarters 1 thru 3. The prevent offense is horrible, miss-uses CC’s abilities to close out games.
I love the positivity that CC presents even when the team loses. The chemistry between the Fever players is growing, I think, and we can expect many wins in the future!
Coach sucks! She lost this game for the Fever. She is holding Caitlin back. Mitchell, Sides and Wheeler needs to go. Mitchell didn't even try today until last few seconds. Mitchell just wants money, then earn it!

She better. She has a degree in marketing she is marketing herself at the end of the day she has to keep it clear and in control because of all her endorsements. Love CC 22
Yep seems to me sides is in her head and telling her not to shoot very much. She should have also taking one or both of those last couple shots they had. Passing it to Wallace was the worst idea ever. Who f****** cares with that stupid ass Coast coach says she needs to just shoot as much as she can. She and Boston are amazing together but using the best shooter in the world to just get assists is just sad.
this game was eye opening. I didn't realize that all of CC's turnovers are incredible passes that are fumbled. Geez. Probably 50% of her turnovers should be in the assist category. The look on her face when they fumble her perfect passes tells it all

That stunted the momentum of the game and lost the lead. Bad subs are another issue. This should not have been a loss with those stats from the players. This one is on Sides.
She took Wallace out and put Wheeler in for a long stretch and didn’t sub Wallace back in till late in the fourth. When Wallace got back in she was totally out of rythym
@@paulsimmons1221 Fever have a very talented bench that never see the floor. Wheeler immediately made bad fouls which added to them getting to the line. Wheeler should be on the bench while others should not.

Fever coach? The players lost it. The other team simply wanted it more. Missed shots and turnovers and fouls in the last few minutes. They blew a lead. Lets not just blame the coach when its a team sport and effort.
This loss is on the coach. Last 7 seconds you get to inbound the basketball and you don't have a play for your best shooter come on coach get it together, you have a good team with great players in the indiana fever.
Team had 3-4 dropped balls that would of been layups and add another 5-6 missed layups. Make 1/4 of those and the coach isn't even brought up. This is on the players.
@@bigonion79 Get past all that and you still have a chance to win the game. Did you ever see Michel Jordan inbound the basketball for the last winning shot? No, you never seen that! This loss is on the coach. This is Caitlin Clarks Team Let Her Take The Last Shot To Win Or Lose The Game. As a coach you should have an inbound play ready for your best shooter to win the game in the last seconds of the game. Come on now coach put me in let me take the shot. like the Yung bulls team, they started winning till they hired a better coach and had better players to match the intensity of their star player Michael Jordan. Caitlyn Clark is the star of the indiana fever get a coach and players to match her basketball skills and intensity. Caitlin Clark is the star and she needs a supporting cast of players that know their place in the team so they can start winning WNBA championships. The End.
You lost, better luck next time. This is not a race war, please stop with the nonsense. You win some and you lose some. We want to see the game without the stupid comments about the coach. We are watching all the ladies , all are doing a great job. Angel was on fire today.
@@smalls3187 when you racist stop your heating on Reese all of you want to destroy her instead of let her leave her life and play the game she love basketball
Rule #1as a coach When the team wins all credit goes to the team When the team loses the coach takes the blame Never criticize the team in public Period
That's why they shouldn't be compared with the NBA, the coach doesn't get the blame, the players do. If the Spurs have a losing season its never Popavich's fault but the players. He has a superstar, loses yet the other players get the blame.
Fever had all the chances to win. Lets be honest they lost an already won game. Mitchell needs to learn to pass and catch Caitlin assists. Caitlin was passive today, Boston gave it her all, Smith had Angel beat her to her game. You had this game ladies. But still rooting for you. The Angel Reese fans will be in your faces this week, stay strong ❤❤❤❤
It's hard to be passive 17/13 with 4 steals. For more than half the players in the league that's a career game, and CC is a rookie. Not passive. But perhaps the word is a bit too unselfish at times. At the end of the game it seems to me CC and AB need to take over the scoring onus and then if possible/necessary kick it out to KM or Samuelson for three if they are wide open.
Congratulations Sides for letting the Sky win. You know how good Angel Reese is so why Can't anybody defend her? CC should be allowed to shoot as much as she can in the last quarter. She can make the best decision, shoot or pass to the open person. CC is great at driving to the basket. If she doesn't make the shot she will probable be fouled. When will Sides learn?
For 4 minutes the Fever were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I don't what Sides told team in that time out after the 24 to 3 run, but NEVER utter those words again Sides! Reese played bully ball with Smith! Smith you know what you have to do, HIT the weights! SIdes you could helped Smith out by putting Boston in Reese or sending a hard double. What I see when Caitlin and Boston are in Sync is Breathtaking basketball, if it's working, MAKE them SHOW you they CAN STOP IT! Sides you never made them show you they could stop that High screen to Caitlin and Boston rolling! 💚💚
Coach Sides said she never wants CC not to be aggressive and she thought CC was going to take that shot (as opposed to passing to Wallace). CC just trusted Wallace. CC is phenomenal. She’ll take it next time.
You can tell by the way they play that Clark doesn't get to shoot. She got 15% of the shots. She passes the ball stands in a corner. Those are called plays.
Sides is getting better and so are the Fever. Coach will learn how to manage who goes on the floor better and not just play-calling. Sometimes players need bench time to regroup. But she's OK.
When they ask Kelsey about assists, she said "what's that." Maybe teach her how to spell it first. She averages 1.7 assists.per game in her career. Wow!!
Once again Caitlin Clark shoots the ball 11 times. Kelsey Mitchell 18 times. Caitlin only 1 shot in the last 7 minutes. That was all Sides. She gave up the ball every trip down the court. Sides was in her ear the whole game. 13 Assist by CC after 3. No assist in the 4th quarter. No pick n roll. Caitlin stop throwing the ball to Kelsey Mitchell. You got three turnovers on easy catches. One of them she completely fanned on. 6+ blown layups by guards. This was a complete collapse. AR took advantage of it. She wanted and was the star. CC had a good view of the game. Any reason why Sides is still the head coach.
You do realize Caitlin Clark gets double teamed....right? Basketball is a cerebral game coach Sides has these girls playing good. They will make the playoffs
clark passed up open looks. She wanted assists. 13 assists is alot. she's the point guard so she calls the play in the moment. I think she played well. They just lost.
Omg my sentiment exactly! I have been posting the same comments here. The coach just doesn’t want Caitlin to be the main go to player! This coach is treating everyone like they are the star of the team. There is one maybe two stars and that’s it.
Cardoso stepped up off the screen. We all wanted her to shoot, but she can't over her. Would of preferred to see her drive and shoot a mid range, but its not fully in her bag yet. Passing to Boston was a good option, but she needed to be a few feet closer. Top of the key is not her shot.
@@Busu_Pow I agree with that. I do think she has to work off season on the mid range jumper. If she gets that, nobody will be able to stop her. She's pretty dynamite right now.
When Caitlin has the ball and gets double teamed then she need to pass it and the teammate should be setting another screen and continue looking for Caitlin in crush time. The object is for Cc to get the shot and the defense wants the ball out of her hands. The offense has to her get the ball back into her hands again.
@@seato412b Entertaining doesn't help with wins....Also, Indiana shorter than the players from Chicago....And they can't jump for those rebounds either lol.
This team, and especially this COACH, needs to understand that the offense has to run through Caitlyn. She picked that team apart for three quarters by bringing the ball up the court and making the right decision each and every time. Her teammates need to understand that they are scoring becasue CC is getting them the ball in an position where they already have an advantage built-in (i.e. they're already wide open, they have the defender on their hip, they have a clear path to the basket, etc...). In the 4th quarter other people were bringing the ball up the court (and starting the offense on the opposite side of the court from CC), so she didn't even TOUCH the ball for possession after possession. Rarely, does anybody go set an off-the-ball screen for her to run around and get the ball where she can just shoot it. THIS COACH should have her running through two to three screens per possession to get her shot! Bottom line, the offense starts with CC and it should end with her making the right pass or getting her shot. Three quarters is not a game and THIS IS ON THE COACH for not drilling that message into each player on the team! Horrible loss to a critical game for the playoffs and the mental advantage against Chicago and their leader, who played a great game.
It appears that the Fever coaching staff isn't trying to make this team about one person. This TEAM and the members have to play as a team and not be catered around one person.
@@Superchick115 Let me introduce you to a few TEAM LEADERS who won MULTIPLE championships by leading their inferior teammates to world championships: Larry Bird. Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Not everybody on a championship is equal, but they are working together.
@@funisnumberone1 Nice try! Every single player you mentioned didn't win a championship strictly based off themselves. They all had teammates that were effective in their role. CC can and has been shut down several times which is why it's necessary to establish a team dynamic that fosters a healthy chemistry so when this happens, she's able to utilize their talent. Instead of criticizing, why not allow for this team to learn each other and mesh like the need to. If you build this team on one person and they get injured, then what?
@@Superchick115 Good Lord, we're saying the same thing! Of course you need an entire team to win championships! We agree on that. What I'm saying is these great teams all had a star player that was the clear leader and "go to" player that led them through the clutch moments to big games in victory. The Fever had CC, for three quarters, playing the role as playmaker and leader, making beautiful decisions, passes, and shots that had everyone involved and confident in their roles. Suddenly in Q4 her leadership role was switched to that of a decoy and her teammates fell apart like a house of cards in the biggest game of this young season. They didn't "mesh". The failed because the coach put them into a position to fail. Good coaches put players in a position to succeed. CC, along with being a great scorer, has teh god given talent to see the court better than any other player and make the best decisions that utilize her teammates skills. She can make teh big plays that others can't and didn't, and that is what cost them the game and will eventually be their downfall under this terrible coach. ALL of the players I mentioned had Hall of Fame coaches. CC needs one that is at least competent.
@@russelhughes1066no the coach is always bad. They win despite her. That is why people are negative. The coach is running a jr high offense with no flow. It’s predictable and sad to watch some of the best players and basketball smarts being coached by a person who shouldn’t be coaching at this level.
CC not touching the ball in crunch time shows sides is not focused on correct priorities. She is worried about other players' feelings....instead of her superstar. There is no need to waste years to figure out what's obvious. I would have one talk with sides...if no change in direction for team strategies she would be gone. New coach could get rid of dead wood immediately...this is not hard. Don't waste CCs time, don't waste fans time and money.
I’m telling you!!! That was really bad on the coach… I’m not even trying to talk shit about her. You have to call a timeout. Don’t wait until it’s a 9-0 then call a timeout. It’s like she was just there so she wouldn’t get Fine!!!!
@@peterspringer5187 hahaha! I understand the job is difficult but you have to call a time out. Allowing a 9-0 run without calling a timeout, is so bad. You’re on the road and you’re not doing anything to stop the other team’s rhythm. You have to agree with that, right. At least slow that team down, break up the momentum
Christie Sides needs to have her office packed up to be fired. The Chicago Sky played a wonderful game and I give credit where it’s due, but the Fever choked this game away. Fire this coach now!!
Wallace is a piece of dead wood on the court and cc needs to stop passing it to her. Caitlin is just to freaking nice out there and needs to stop playing dish queen and step up to the plate in crush time. Take a lesson from Curry or Lebron. Omg wake up Caitlin and take control of the game!!! Stop dishing it to inferior players at crush time.
@@NothingElseMatters777 That's a contradiction tho. Sides wants Caitlin to pass first, and to be the 3rd option in scoring, then the 4th option when wheeler is on.🤦♂️
@@shillery65 You can read whatever you want into something when you're emotionally-fragile. Coaches have said things like she said forever about moments in games for countless players throughout history. She was asked a specific question by the press, and she gave an honest answer that didn't sound at all to me like throwing anyone under the bus. She even complicated her on her ability to pass and to see the entire floor. You need to grow a thicker layer of skin.
I can’t even lie this was one of the best game I seen this year Caitlyn Clark was having a great game passing she also have to learn how to create her own shots if you watch Chennedy Cater tonight she was creating her own shots at times but I’m also learning what other teams are probably learning as well outside of the 3s and Layups CC doesn’t have a mid range shot hopefully this off season that’s something she will work on
Listen carefully to CC when she loses to the Sky. She made it clear that AR had a great game and took responsibility for the loss. Didn’t blame it on a “special whistle”. This is called integrity. This is modesty. And she is only 22. It’s the losses where these qualities show themselves.
Caitlin needs to learn how to do a pull up mid range.. Everytime she drives, its either a layup or pass. She has to add a pull up mid range to her game. Once she develops that, she'll be deadly. It cant just be all 3s for her.
Angel dominated, and I wont take that away from her. But bad decisions for the Fever is what allowed that to happen. Angel just took advantage, as she should have. They should not have lost with a 15 point lead.
Common knowledge, when you loose by 1 possession, it's all on coaching. Need more plays designed for Caitlin. Every team does post play. You have a generational shooter and not utilizing that talent that no other team has. Again on the coach. Coach needs to give Caitlin green light to shot. Caitlin appears to be coached to look first to pass to post, even though she is wide open. On Coach again.
Yes. I am sick of hearing Sides focus on getting points “in the paint”. No, the focus should be on Clark getting 3 pointers and when not available, then passing inside. #firesides
@@v2807 Why have CC on team, she doesn't fit in coahes offense, except to pass the ball. CC can't score off passing. 3's or worth more than 2's Simple math. Who do you replace CC or coach? For me the coach. Simple
Kristy Wallace is the worst player on the team. Coach Sides favors her over Hull, KLS and Taylor. At least Hull and Taylor play defense and KLS can hit some 3's. It's absolutely idiotic to continue starting Wallace. Hull could have helped defend Reese today.
@holyspirit7852 wheeler is good. Takes the load off of clark. I don't know anything about Wallace but she was terrible down the stretch today. Even the announcer questioned her being on the court.
Sides saying Clark inbounded the ball on the last play because of her passing ability, instead of using Clark as shooting option or even as decoy says all we need to know. :/
I’m not picking on the coach or anything, however any time you blow a 15 point lead, 98% of the time it’s coaching. She didn’t call a timeout until it was a 9-0 run! That’s not ideal! Come on coach, you have to do better. Slow things down and help your players. I’m not the smartest guy but I know you have to do what you can to slow down or stop momentum. Those girls played too good to lose. Sometimes you have to coach!!!
At the end of the game, why is CC inbounding the ball? Yes, she's one of the team's better passers, but I would have preferred that she take the inbound pass for a possible shot. Christie Sides, it would help if you practiced these end-game situations.
I love how she talks about the players have to learn or how they need to play BUT WHO is Coaching? How is she helping? How is she substituting? Why can't CC shoot? Coach needs to goooooo!
They win 4 games in a row doing crisp pick and rolls and then today in the 4th quarter the entire team forgets how to play basketball? The way this team goes from looking good to imploding in the matter of seconds is frustrating.
If they don't start running some plays to get CC more than 11 shots per game, they deserve to lose every game from here on out. Mitchell and Smith shoot every time they touch the ball if at all possible and never look to pass, even if someone is wide open. Mitchell is not the person to send for the fast breaks, she can't catch the ball. Temi would have had all of those passes, maybe try Wallace or Hull. They left Smith on Reese all game and her defense is not great, another coaching blunder. If they don't address these issues, they won't make the playoffs. You can't have the best scorer in history used as just a passer to set everyone else up for wide open looks and layups and never run plays for her to shoot. Unfortunately, some of her teammates are just fine with that arrangement.
Wheeler played in the 4th, Hull didn't play like she did in the 4 wins, Mitchell kept the ball and took shoots that fell short, she couldn't make a layup, Samuelson wasn't used effectively enough, Clark was not allowed to touch the ball in the 4th. Fever up by double digits and Sides did what Sides does best not coach and gave the game to Chicago. Go figure, when you hire a JV coach you get JV results.
CC had multiple opportunities to take the shot but pulled it down and passed it off. She looked uncomfortable. The last thing Sides needs is for CC to start second guessing herself. Sides is going to ruin CC confidence so she can make herself look better.
What??? None of that was true in this game at all! Clark had to inbound for a Hail Mary tap in with so little time! No time for a real 3 point shot! Duh 🙄
If you watch all of the post game press conferences, Mitchell is happy if she's the high scorer, even if they lose. If CC is the high scorer in a win, Kelsey's somber and just stares at the stat sheet. Not a team player.
@@jaylucas8352 If you were making 60-70k and your colleague doing the same job was making tens of millions, you might be a bit bummed too. I know why CC makes that I'm only watching bc of theCC hype and drama lol but I can understand why that would sting, especially the older players.
Fever are trash. Pick a coach who lets Clark be Clark instead of forcing her to be "Steve Nash", and trade everyone except Boston for literally anyone who can catch a ball and make a layup. Yep, that's the level.
Chicago had 18 more free throw attempts than Indiana, but yet no mention of “special whistle” from either Fever player? Hmmm… 🤔 I guess it’s called class and respect. Just wish it was mutual.
I love How CC spoke positively about AR… despite this loss, she still amazing, a awesome game

@@paulsimmons1221 Fever have a very talented bench that never see the floor. Wheeler immediately made bad fouls which added to them getting to the line. Wheeler should be on the bench while others should not.

Nope.

Time For Sides To Go !!! WTH !!!
No. Y’all need to go back to where you come from! You don’t control anything! Take your money and her the hell on. Watch how better the games get without you! The prejudice is nuts.
Sides should be pushed by the way side.
Sides worked hard to get this loss. She has this loss hung around her neck. Wear it proud!!

The fever coach lost this game. The fever are double digit points better than the sky. When Caitlin runs the offense...blowout
Clark on a good team would be blowing teams out
Fever coach? The players lost it. The other team simply wanted it more. Missed shots and turnovers and fouls in the last few minutes. They blew a lead. Lets not just blame the coach when its a team sport and effort.
@@txyseus Youre dumb.
This loss is on the coach. Last 7 seconds you get to inbound the basketball and you don't have a play for your best shooter come on coach get it together, you have a good team with great players in the indiana fever.
Team had 3-4 dropped balls that would of been layups and add another 5-6 missed layups. Make 1/4 of those and the coach isn't even brought up. This is on the players.
I literally was telling this at the tv . Angel Showed though they have me watching wnba with interest for the first time
@@bigonion79 Get past all that and you still have a chance to win the game. Did you ever see Michel Jordan inbound the basketball for the last winning shot? No, you never seen that! This loss is on the coach. This is Caitlin Clarks Team Let Her Take The Last Shot To Win Or Lose The Game. As a coach you should have an inbound play ready for your best shooter to win the game in the last seconds of the game. Come on now coach put me in let me take the shot. like the Yung bulls team, they started winning till they hired a better coach and had better players to match the intensity of their star player Michael Jordan. Caitlyn Clark is the star of the indiana fever get a coach and players to match her basketball skills and intensity. Caitlin Clark is the star and she needs a supporting cast of players that know their place in the team so they can start winning WNBA championships. The End.

Rule #1as a coach When the team wins all credit goes to the team When the team loses the coach takes the blame Never criticize the team in public Period
That's why they shouldn't be compared with the NBA, the coach doesn't get the blame, the players do. If the Spurs have a losing season its never Popavich's fault but the players. He has a superstar, loses yet the other players get the blame.
Coaches call out their teams all the time in public??
Yo, Christie, rather than have your 130-pound point guard set picks, why don't you have one of your bigs set one for her for a change?
Fever had all the chances to win. Lets be honest they lost an already won game. Mitchell needs to learn to pass and catch Caitlin assists. Caitlin was passive today, Boston gave it her all, Smith had Angel beat her to her game. You had this game ladies. But still rooting for you. The Angel Reese fans will be in your faces this week, stay strong ❤❤❤❤
Cc not passive, just bad coaching
Agreed.
It's hard to be passive 17/13 with 4 steals. For more than half the players in the league that's a career game, and CC is a rookie. Not passive. But perhaps the word is a bit too unselfish at times. At the end of the game it seems to me CC and AB need to take over the scoring onus and then if possible/necessary kick it out to KM or Samuelson for three if they are wide open.
CC passive because of sh!t coaching but CC needs to just be a superstar demand the ball
Caitlin wasn’t passive they were just outplayed.
CC you’re a great person and a great player. Your team won’t pass the ball to you.
Yep
Congratulations Sides for letting the Sky win. You know how good Angel Reese is so why Can't anybody defend her? CC should be allowed to shoot as much as she can in the last quarter. She can make the best decision, shoot or pass to the open person. CC is great at driving to the basket. If she doesn't make the shot she will probable be fouled. When will Sides learn?
Wow you know how good Angel is why didn’t any body defend her she was always good not only to night give her her respect she was good 2023 also racist
If I lose, I want to lose with my best player taking the last shot, sad loss
EXACTLY!!!
For 4 minutes the Fever were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I don't what Sides told team in that time out after the 24 to 3 run, but NEVER utter those words again Sides! Reese played bully ball with Smith! Smith you know what you have to do, HIT the weights! SIdes you could helped Smith out by putting Boston in Reese or sending a hard double. What I see when Caitlin and Boston are in Sync is Breathtaking basketball, if it's working, MAKE them SHOW you they CAN STOP IT! Sides you never made them show you they could stop that High screen to Caitlin and Boston rolling! 💚💚
Letting Reese go off was criminal.
She told them to slow down. ESPN has a mic on during the timeout. She’s a complete idiot.
It’s not bully ball. It’s called playing defense & she was not on C.C majority of the game .
CC don’t let this horrible coach ice you out!! Don’t let her strip you of your confidence!
Double double, stfu. Sometimes you lose do because the other team plays better, this wasn't on the coach or Clark. Reese was way better then Smith.
Coach Sides said she never wants CC not to be aggressive and she thought CC was going to take that shot (as opposed to passing to Wallace). CC just trusted Wallace. CC is phenomenal. She’ll take it next time.
You can tell by the way they play that Clark doesn't get to shoot. She got 15% of the shots. She passes the ball stands in a corner. Those are called plays.
Rolling Stones Shes So Cold should be dedicated to her coach and teammates.
Caitlin did nothing in the 4th quarter when it counts.
Came to say Sides can't be taken seriously as a competent coach after this game. The Fever and CC deserve better.
Sides say she gonna put an end to all this CC cutting up😅

You do realiize CC is a meeber of the Fever
@@MJ-uf9tl I agree, Clark will be a great coach when she decides to stop playing.
Sides is getting better and so are the Fever. Coach will learn how to manage who goes on the floor better and not just play-calling. Sometimes players need bench time to regroup. But she's OK.

Up by 15 to down by 6 in 8 minutes...How??? Oh ya, Wheeler was primarily the ball handler for 7 of it
You all were still really fun to watch
Angel Reese took over in the 4th. Caitlin Clark was outstanding. These 2 teams are below .500 playing basketball like this? The WNBA is on fire.
Once again Caitlin Clark shoots the ball 11 times. Kelsey Mitchell 18 times. Caitlin only 1 shot in the last 7 minutes. That was all Sides. She gave up the ball every trip down the court. Sides was in her ear the whole game. 13 Assist by CC after 3. No assist in the 4th quarter. No pick n roll. Caitlin stop throwing the ball to Kelsey Mitchell. You got three turnovers on easy catches. One of them she completely fanned on. 6+ blown layups by guards. This was a complete collapse. AR took advantage of it. She wanted and was the star. CC had a good view of the game. Any reason why Sides is still the head coach.
You do realize Caitlin Clark gets double teamed....right? Basketball is a cerebral game coach Sides has these girls playing good. They will make the playoffs
clark passed up open looks. She wanted assists. 13 assists is alot. she's the point guard so she calls the play in the moment. I think she played well. They just lost.
Omg my sentiment exactly! I have been posting the same comments here. The coach just doesn’t want Caitlin to be the main go to player! This coach is treating everyone like they are the star of the team. There is one maybe two stars and that’s it.
@@jon-snow-GOTthey lost because the ball was not in the best player’s hands the last 5 minutes and thinking to shoot.

Don’t let this get to you Clark you did unbelievable
Would have loved to see Clark not pass up the buzzer beater at the end. Statistically she has to be a pretty high percent from college
Cardoso stepped up off the screen. We all wanted her to shoot, but she can't over her. Would of preferred to see her drive and shoot a mid range, but its not fully in her bag yet. Passing to Boston was a good option, but she needed to be a few feet closer. Top of the key is not her shot.
She was double covered,
@@Busu_PowExactly, she would have shot but Cardoso is 6'7
@@Busu_Pow I agree with that. I do think she has to work off season on the mid range jumper. If she gets that, nobody will be able to stop her. She's pretty dynamite right now.
When Caitlin has the ball and gets double teamed then she need to pass it and the teammate should be setting another screen and continue looking for Caitlin in crush time. The object is for Cc to get the shot and the defense wants the ball out of her hands. The offense has to her get the ball back into her hands again.
I was hoping to see one of CCs buzzer beaters.

Smith was bad. No defense
100!!! I agree
Smith was awful. Samuelson couldn’t make a basket & others didn’t do much better. CC & AB were a joy to watch play together. Sides needs replaced.
This team, and especially this COACH, needs to understand that the offense has to run through Caitlyn. She picked that team apart for three quarters by bringing the ball up the court and making the right decision each and every time. Her teammates need to understand that they are scoring becasue CC is getting them the ball in an position where they already have an advantage built-in (i.e. they're already wide open, they have the defender on their hip, they have a clear path to the basket, etc...). In the 4th quarter other people were bringing the ball up the court (and starting the offense on the opposite side of the court from CC), so she didn't even TOUCH the ball for possession after possession. Rarely, does anybody go set an off-the-ball screen for her to run around and get the ball where she can just shoot it. THIS COACH should have her running through two to three screens per possession to get her shot! Bottom line, the offense starts with CC and it should end with her making the right pass or getting her shot. Three quarters is not a game and THIS IS ON THE COACH for not drilling that message into each player on the team! Horrible loss to a critical game for the playoffs and the mental advantage against Chicago and their leader, who played a great game.
It appears that the Fever coaching staff isn't trying to make this team about one person. This TEAM and the members have to play as a team and not be catered around one person.
@@Superchick115 Let me introduce you to a few TEAM LEADERS who won MULTIPLE championships by leading their inferior teammates to world championships: Larry Bird. Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Not everybody on a championship is equal, but they are working together.
@@funisnumberone1 Nice try! Every single player you mentioned didn't win a championship strictly based off themselves. They all had teammates that were effective in their role. CC can and has been shut down several times which is why it's necessary to establish a team dynamic that fosters a healthy chemistry so when this happens, she's able to utilize their talent. Instead of criticizing, why not allow for this team to learn each other and mesh like the need to. If you build this team on one person and they get injured, then what?
@@Superchick115 Good Lord, we're saying the same thing! Of course you need an entire team to win championships! We agree on that. What I'm saying is these great teams all had a star player that was the clear leader and "go to" player that led them through the clutch moments to big games in victory. The Fever had CC, for three quarters, playing the role as playmaker and leader, making beautiful decisions, passes, and shots that had everyone involved and confident in their roles. Suddenly in Q4 her leadership role was switched to that of a decoy and her teammates fell apart like a house of cards in the biggest game of this young season. They didn't "mesh". The failed because the coach put them into a position to fail. Good coaches put players in a position to succeed. CC, along with being a great scorer, has teh god given talent to see the court better than any other player and make the best decisions that utilize her teammates skills. She can make teh big plays that others can't and didn't, and that is what cost them the game and will eventually be their downfall under this terrible coach.

Kelsey played a big part in giving that game away!
CC not touching the ball in crunch time shows sides is not focused on correct priorities. She is worried about other players' feelings....instead of her superstar.

Chicago can't shoot threes. They win with layups by bigs. Have you ever heard of a zone coach?
Nope. Wallace is too good of a player . Lexie is also a good player. Both should stay.
😂😂😂 stfu… y’all are annoying. CC did good Angel just played better. Go Sky!
Right!
Wallace is a piece of dead wood on the court and cc needs to stop passing it to her.

@@NothingElseMatters777 Did you not understand she was saying ...blaming CC for not shooting the ball????
@@shillery65 You can read whatever you want into something when you're emotionally-fragile. Coaches have said things like she said forever about moments in games for countless players throughout history. She was asked a specific question by the press, and she gave an honest answer that didn't sound at all to me like throwing anyone under the bus. She even complicated her on her ability to pass and to see the entire floor. You need to grow a thicker layer of skin.
They ask most questions to CC, but she has unique and great and real basketball and competitive perspective.
I can’t even lie this was one of the best game I seen this year Caitlyn Clark was having a great game passing she also have to learn how to create her own shots if you watch Chennedy Cater tonight she was creating her own shots at times but I’m also learning what other teams are probably learning as well outside of the 3s and Layups CC doesn’t have a mid range shot hopefully this off season that’s something she will work on
Agreed
Listen carefully to CC when she loses to the Sky. She made it clear that AR had a great game and took responsibility for the loss. Didn’t blame it on a “special whistle”. This is called integrity. This is modesty. And she is only 22. It’s the losses where these qualities show themselves.
That's interesting that the best player on the court would take responsibility for the loss.
At this point she simply needs to override her coach and play HER ball, like she did in Iowa. Enough is enough
😂
It's like Clark's teammates didn't even try to catch her passes! These girls are professionals? I question that!
Caitlin needs to learn how to do a pull up mid range.. Everytime she drives, its either a layup or pass. She has to add a pull up mid range to her game. Once she develops that, she'll be deadly. It cant just be all 3s for her.
Agree. A number of us been saying that for a few years. Get a mid range and it’s done
Also add a floater
FOR SURE. She would be a real problem for defenses. Get them on her hip and pull up.
And or draw the foul.
She knows how to do that but they want her passing and they have her second guessing herself!
Angel dominated, and I wont take that away from her. But bad decisions for the Fever is what allowed that to happen. Angel just took advantage, as she should have. They should not have lost with a 15 point lead.
I saw quite a few phantom fouls called against the Fever. Some were ridiculous.
At least 5

Common knowledge, when you loose by 1 possession, it's all on coaching. Need more plays designed for Caitlin. Every team does post play. You have a generational shooter and not utilizing that talent that no other team has. Again on the coach. Coach needs to give Caitlin green light to shot. Caitlin appears to be coached to look first to pass to post, even though she is wide open. On Coach again.
Yes. I am sick of hearing Sides focus on getting points “in the paint”. No, the focus should be on Clark getting 3 pointers and when not available, then passing inside. #firesides
@@v2807 Why have CC on team, she doesn't fit in coahes offense, except to pass the ball. CC can't score off passing. 3's or worth more than 2's Simple math. Who do you replace CC or coach? For me the coach. Simple

Kristy Wallace is the worst player on the team. Coach Sides favors her over Hull, KLS and Taylor. At least Hull and Taylor play defense and KLS can hit some 3's. It's absolutely idiotic to continue starting Wallace. Hull could have helped defend Reese today.

@@destinysherrod2485huh?
Sides blew today's game, BIG TIME!
I’m not picking on the coach or anything, however any time you blow a 15 point lead, 98% of the time it’s coaching. She didn’t call a timeout until it was a 9-0 run! That’s not ideal! Come on coach, you have to do better. Slow things down and help your players. I’m not the smartest guy but I know you have to do what you can to slow down or stop momentum. Those girls played too good to lose. Sometimes you have to coach!!!
She's horrible. I don't have stomach to watch these games anymore. It's too much.
At the end of the game, why is CC inbounding the ball? Yes, she's one of the team's better passers, but I would have preferred that she take the inbound pass for a possible shot. Christie Sides, it would help if you practiced these end-game situations.
they didn't have time for a catch and shot so you inbound into the paint and hope one of your bigs can tip it in.
Not enough time to pass and shoot, only option was a tip in at the basket.
To be fair, a couple of those fouls called on Smith in the 4th looked pretty ticky-tack and similar to non-calls earlier in the game.
I love how she talks about the players have to learn or how they need to play BUT WHO is Coaching? How is she helping? How is she substituting? Why can't CC shoot? Coach needs to goooooo!
They win 4 games in a row doing crisp pick and rolls and then today in the 4th quarter the entire team forgets how to play basketball? The way this team goes from looking good to imploding in the matter of seconds is frustrating.
Young team but yea. Coach is shaky too
If they don't start running some plays to get CC more than 11 shots per game, they deserve to lose every game from here on out. Mitchell and Smith shoot every time they touch the ball if at all possible and never look to pass, even if someone is wide open. Mitchell is not the person to send for the fast breaks, she can't catch the ball. Temi would have had all of those passes, maybe try Wallace or Hull. They left Smith on Reese all game and her defense is not great, another coaching blunder. If they don't address these issues, they won't make the playoffs. You can't have the best scorer in history used as just a passer to set everyone else up for wide open looks and layups and never run plays for her to shoot. Unfortunately, some of her teammates are just fine with that arrangement.
Temi is a bit more mobile than Smith and Boston
Wheeler played in the 4th, Hull didn't play like she did in the 4 wins, Mitchell kept the ball and took shoots that fell short, she couldn't make a layup, Samuelson wasn't used effectively enough, Clark was not allowed to touch the ball in the 4th. Fever up by double digits and Sides did what Sides does best not coach and gave the game to Chicago. Go figure, when you hire a JV coach you get JV results.
Having a rookie coach when the best prospect in league history is criminal
I couldn’t agree more!!!
CC had multiple opportunities to take the shot but pulled it down and passed it off. She looked uncomfortable. The last thing Sides needs is for CC to start second guessing herself. Sides is going to ruin CC confidence so she can make herself look better.
Sides is full of crap. She is the one who has shut CC down. But now is selfish enough to blame CC for her incompetence!
What??? None of that was true in this game at all! Clark had to inbound for a Hail Mary tap in with so little time! No time for a real 3 point shot! Duh 🙄
If you watch all of the post game press conferences, Mitchell is happy if she's the high scorer, even if they lose. If CC is the high scorer in a win, Kelsey's somber and just stares at the stat sheet. Not a team player.
Kelsey low key mad she ain’t got Clark’s money.
@@jaylucas8352 If you were making 60-70k and your colleague doing the same job was making tens of millions, you might be a bit bummed too. I know why CC makes that I'm only watching bc of theCC hype and drama lol but I can understand why that would sting, especially the older players.

How do you not design the final play for your best shooter? Stop with the slip screens…
The money’s gonna follow! That was better 📺 than the NBA finals. Keep it up! 👍
Fever are trash. Pick a coach who lets Clark be Clark instead of forcing her to be "Steve Nash", and trade everyone except Boston for literally anyone who can catch a ball and make a layup. Yep, that's the level.
Chicago had 18 more free throw attempts than Indiana, but yet no mention of “special whistle” from either Fever player? Hmmm… 🤔 I guess it’s called class and respect. Just wish it was mutual.
Look at the coach she rather have Clark pass the ball than make the final shot and win the game, because Clark will make it
Can't have that highlight right?? Disgusting
It looks like Christie Sides after losing the game asking Theresa Witherspoon for an Assistant Coach job!
Why didn’t they ask what changed in the fourth quarter to allow the collapse.
Oh, we KNOW why
They should have put the ball in Clark’s hands at the end. The last two possessions was horrible
