MVP Breanna Stewart DISRESPECTS Caitlin Clark Before their Matchup... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is ready to take over the WNBA. In this video we are going to be talking about the WNBA. THe league is growing with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Steward and A'Ja Wilson who have all been incredible
BBALL Daily:
THe basketball youtube channel of the well known NBA 2k youtuber DBG. This channel is ran by a former Irish international and former Irish Superleague basketball player who also has won multiple national titles as a coach at both the high school and collegiate level in Ireland. this channel will talk about nba news, nba stories as well as basketball news from all over the world
No one dislikes Caitlin more than ex-UCONN players. It is as if UCONN wanted CC and she refused to go to Storrs Connecticut. Quite the opposite. CC wanted to go to UCONN and they said nope.
They are bitter from the final four. I get it.
The entire UCONN mafia hates her lmao. The sad ass coach, the players...lmao.
and current UCONN coach.
UConn coach Geno is an idiot.
That's not true. Go watch that interview with Gino. He was like if Caitlin wanted to come here she should have called me.
I think she
was suppose to go to Notre Dame and then changed her mind and instead went to Iowa.
Triple double as a rookie against the Liberty WOW. Roty. She scored inside outside 2 steals good day.
CC simply has more to deal with , and is dealing with way more responsibility than all of the wnba
EXACTLY!!!!!
yeah women are generally more envyous then men.
Sides must have been so mad she couldn't bench Caitlin before the triple double
She got some brief rest. Leaving her in at the end was new and improved though.
😂😂
Lemme guess, AB and Kelsey were pissed when she got that final rebound huh??
The Olympic Committee left the best point guard off the USA team!
Nowhere near the best point guard by a mile 🥱
@@txyseus name a better point guard and not a shooting guard etc. Every player you will name isn't a point guard

@@jaimefish173 Sabrina, Plum, Young, Arike….
@@yngtrey1638I wish the Fever could get Arike. I love her.
Caitlin gets the first roookie triple double and it is against the number 1 team in the WNBA. I can't imagine veteran WNBA players disrespecting Clark anymore and if they do she will make them pay by embarrassing them on the court.
I think DT called together the CC Haters Club and said, "Guys, it's getting ridiculous and looks bad. Show CC some respect. However, keep pretending like the record attendance, revenue, and viewership has nothing to do with CC. If I catch anyone giving CC credit, you're out!"
@@jricks92921 I’ll take 13 assist to 4 turnovers anyday
@@jricks92921one of the turnovers was stepping on the line backing up for a 3 in the corner. Wasn’t even a pass.
@@jricks92921of course her shooting tailed off from 3 point range. But she refocused on assists and driving to the bucket, and played a large role in the win.
@Jricks1992 , you're a special kind of hater, aren't ya? Dumb as a post.
The future is now for the WNBA the old wnba is OVER
@@happymood888 over? Take a look at their records buddy. Stewie is miles better than Clark currently. Great game for the fever. Just say that, because when you say something like Stewie is over you lose all credibility

@@AdamG9505 Clark better than stewie? Why is Clark not even in the top 10 in the MVP race and Stewie is top 5? Please explain to me… that’s right your just biased delusion because you like Clark
@@Rainy2255 would you like some wins with all those losses? Good game by Clark and the fever, not salty. Just think people are forgetting where each team is lol
People who think she has no midi tells me you never watched her in college.
She avoids it in the pros, and she shouldn't.
Coach Bluder didn't want mid range. I heard her on Hawk Talk
@@GhostofGerulaitis I think she is more reserved because she doesn’t want to get blocked. But she has a midi game. Definitely needs to use it more.
@@suede789I think u can tell she's nervous at times. But I was proud of the fact that she KEPT PLAYING AGGRESSIVELY!!!! I was a little frustrated probably in the 3rd quarter when I wanted her to shoot & she wud end up up passing most of the time. But though she missed some shots that I'm not sure she normally does, she kept on playing on aggressively!!! And her Coach kept her in the game!!!
@@tammyboon6259 yeah, I agree! Once those threes start to fall more consistently, it will be scary times for the WNBA. I think once she has an off season and she can rest and train, it’ll be a different story.
Reese doesnt do it all. CC runs the team, Reese is a support player.
Reese is not a threat to them. It’s why they like her. Caitlin is the light, here to expose them for the poor players they are
@@TeamTimeRiders true
@@TeamTimeRidersI think it's obvious sadly not just w/ the Vets, but w/ a few of the Coaches, which I find unprofessional at best, or disturbing, & racist at worst!!! It's 1 thing 2c this in players, BUT in Coaches, I have 0, -- ZERO RESPECT!!!!!!!! And the same w/ seemingly all the women pundits on shows.
@@TeamTimeRiders I couldn't have said that any better
@@jaimefish173 Reese is currently the most efficient player in the W. The most important stat when judging a player is efficiency. Reese and CC will go down as Magic and Larry
I guess Caitlin Clark did it all today.
Led her team in Points Rebounds and Assists so yea
It's a team sport yes, Mitchell is a phenomenal player, Aleya is a phenomenal player. These 3 still alone can't take this team to a playoff, it takes 7 or 8. Now in saying that CC is different because her position PG gives her the opportunity for the triple double but look, she's just starting her career and what she's doing is incredible. But she can't do it alone Period. The season isn't over so there's room for Angel Reese as well as Clark to be rookie of the year. Let's face it Reese is a Forward her roll is different but she's doing phenomenal as well. This is what is making people watch the WNBA. But let's face it CC has to be rookie of the year the league is depending on it. Money talks no matter how you look at it. Can't wait for the rookie of the Year award for either of these two superstars. 😊
Nope
@@johnwinstead850 She led her team in every statistical category except for blocked shots. She did just about everything she could today. That was a direct response to Breanna's comment about Angel having the ability to "do it all" on the floor. So... there's that.
@@RebeccaVise-sq6fv Honestly, I really don't care about Angel Reese... there are only a few people I want to see play. Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Sabrina Ionescu, Kate Martin, and my favorite player Katie Lou Samuelson. (LOL she's my favorite, and I don't care what anyone here says)
Stewart is an excellent player, but her comment made her look petty and jealous and stupid. She damned CC with faint praise, and then CC shoved her words right back down her throat. Maybe Stewart, who seems like a nice person but has the public personality of a bowl of plain oatmeal, just can't stand a charismatic star who shines so brightly and is so adored by millions. As talented as she is, no one besides hard core WNBA fans go out of their way to buy a ticket or watch a game because Breanna Stewart is playing. And, despite all this, I'm sure CC would embrace Stewart fully if she would show a bit of respect, and maybe even if she didn't.
Caitlin Clark is so far above the petty players as both a basketball player and as a person. She is shining a light on the ugliness of the wnba all while keeping a smile on her face and doing her own thing.
they need media training.
@@JoeL-xk6bo Yeah, but for some of them it's like polishing a turd.
I had media training when I was in my early 20s still didn’t help
@@crypt0pian82 hey, noticing it didn't help is the first step in learning. if I'd realized how little I knew in my early 20s, I might not still be trying to figure things out in my 70s.
Brianna supposed to be the better defender, she is a center while Clark is a PG…different positions with different expectations and roles on the floor.
I heard the same. But CC still got 2 steals this game!!!
Her passing is massive! Such strength in each one and the quickness like her team mates are suppose to predict if it’s over your head, bounce pass or behind her back k pass. That’s what makes her dangerous. She might have her 3s off but she is unpredictable where she shoots from or who she’s passing to.
That’s what makes her a great player! You can’t expect what unpredictably she’s bringing.
Her passing is otherworldly.
No nba player shoots perfectly. Not even steph curry. Nor lebron james. Caitlyn clark doesnt need to shoot perfectly to be great or roty. She is making records. She is creating impact on her team. She is balling out and playing at a high level. She is very skilled with the ball too. She is just unbelievably
Caitlin Clark
There’s never been a Caitlin Clark.
She’s Iowa’s finest work of art.
Unselfishly she plays her heart.
She paints good pictures of our parts.
If we could share, on the court of life-
Give real assists to those alive-
And score some points that count for good,
This world would change, perhaps it should.
The way that Caitlin plays inspires.
She obviously is filled with fire.
But she maintains the calm approach.
She’s not disturbed when she’s encroached.
She tries to help her teammates score.
She’s a leader whom they adore.
Her fame is built on true finesse.
A humble spirit describes her best.
She’s deceptive with the ball.
Unlikely will they steal at all.
She tries to help to make her team
Feel supreme in all their dreams.
Success she’s found upon the court.
And her example has import.
If we could all just share the ball
This world would change, we’d hear God’s call.
Caitlin if you read this rhyme
Know I love your play design.
You inspire us with your play.
You show how to win in every way.

@@pdandersondo46 👏👏👏
😢🥰
@@pdandersondo46she’s symbolizes the fight of good versus evil even though she stays out of the drama. The league has tried to diminish her individual accomplishments and potential In order to make themselves look better and maintain their world view. The league has bought into the world view that they are all oppressed and must be supported by the NBA and should just be paid more without earning it. Clark comes in and and offers real proof that a wmn can not only be successful and wildly popular she can be more popular then even men and all other sports. She does what they could never do. She needs them because there needs to be a league but they need her too if they want to ever go to the next level. Instead of fighting it they should learn from it and see what they are doing wrong and change. Become what the fans like and take it to the next level with Caitlin Clark. Rivalry is ok but being positive and respect and support is loved by the fans it makes people feel good. People want to see that their is good in the world not jealousy and hate.
She’s okay
Caitlin will get another triple double before season’s end.
I think 3 more
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She would already have multiple if her coach was not purposely trying to sabotage her.
"All she has is range" they said... meanwhile she's the most well-rounded point guard in the league. It's so stupid Team USA didn't take her. Imagine her playmaking with all of those scorers.
It's a club, and she wasn't, and recent warming notwithstanding, a member.
Who are we kidding. Only ones who could reliably catch her amazing passes are her teammates from Iowa or any nba player.
Caitlin rarely ever misses a free throw. The first time today when she drove the basket that super tall gal she smoked was dragging on her arm but Clark made the shot and no foul was called. The refs seem to let Clark get fouled left and right because they know she can win games with just free throws so the refs don't call fouls against her.
My major concern is that the reffing is terrible!
@@pdandersondo46 That out of bounds call on Mitchell was crazy. The Liberty had the favor of the refs all game.
@@pdandersondo46My husband was causally watching with me today and after watching the first quarter was like, looks like the ref swallowed his whistle.
I’m gonna sound bias but the difference in fouls called for Reese & Caitlin is astounding, Clark rarely gets any calls where if you look at Angel wrong it’s a foul
@@Sevon-g4dyep. Reese gets a “special whistle”
Brianna sounds like everyone else in the “I hate Caitlin” club. Petty, jealous and spiteful that they are not getting the attention while they are unlikeable but CC is literally likeable in every way
Breanna is a wet towel for a personality. Young girls could never see themselves in someone as boring as Breanna. The true role model is Caitlin. She’s someone a young woman can and should strive to be.
Changing her body would be a mistake. Bigger isn't always better.
She's a point guard -- not an NFL linebacker. 🤣 People saying she needs to put on weight are being ridiculous. In the meantime, everybody telling Luka to lose weight. 😆
She can hit the weights to increase body strength -- Steph Curry has done it for years to increase core and leg strength. But she should not bulk up -- especially playing point guard.
@@randygraham926 Curry did put on weight he’s bigger than he was, CC can add 10-12 pounds to her frame so she’ll have the strength to play thru contact
I haven’t seen or heard anything about the WNBA for years until Caitlin showed up,,,,,,nuff said
And if Caitlin leaves so do I and the rest of us. And the wnba will be right back to terrible ratings.
@@TeamTimeRidersYEP!!!!!!
Boston can be an effective BEAST, if she SCREENS high post for ball handlers/perimeter shooters, then rolls towards the basket expecting a pass or rebounding effort.
This is my fav sports channel you always tell the truth about the players and there’s so much content each day. Keep it up!
check out ConvoswCarter. he's a CC fan, but not biased (AR fans will disagree -- and boy, do they!) but he plays clips from the games, and analyzes them, and talks about (yes!) what CC did wrong, and what she can improve.
CC has range.
Her game ranges from points to assists to rebounds. Her crowds range from sold out to standing room only. Her endorsements range from…
her after-game interviews range from pissed-off to low-key to humorous and humble. definitely needs to work on her arrogance.
Happy for her, figured it was just a matter of time.
Clark finished last Sunday's game against the Phoenix Mercury with 15 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds. She was nearly the first WNBA rookie to ever record a triple-double in league history.
Wonder how this will help her in the rookie of the year race.
What race 😂 this isn’t even near as close as the Wemby Chet “race” and I would’ve thought I was losing my mind if I heard Chet won
The accolades for Reece are double doubles and not the yard double double for a center to get. She records a rebound and 2 points on ever layup she takes. It's hilarious that the racist sports casters are even touting Angels doubles doubles as some sort of record. They simply aren't.
@@tompiper3Yea but I don't trust this league!!! Sadly I don't trust a few Coaches!!! I'm just glad that w/ so many eyes 👀 on the league due to CC fans, it forces them somewhat to be accountable when there's literally been over a million viewers via the tv & sold out arenas!!!!
your channel has been blowing up. Big fan on the way you cover the WNBA. Hope more success comes your way.
He panders he larps as an American waring our sport hell buzz off soon enough
Stewy’s jealousy has found 5th gear. She’s a sad creature.
Creature is the best word to describe her. She looks like one of those Fuggler dolls 🦷
Actually, have a look in the mirror, bongo. You feel a need to put down a 2X MVP. What's up with that?
Clark was selling popcorn at halftime. Talk about doing it all.
😂 indeed.
Stewart has never had a triple double in the WNBA.
Really?!?!
The thing is, if her job was to hang out under the hoop all the time, she'd be getting the same number of rebounds as A.R. or more, but she's all over the damn floor!
seriously! girl, CONCENTRATE!
but no, she's only 6 foot -- she'd get ignored.
She’s also got a higher percentage of made shots than Angel… and she shoots most of hers from beyond the arc!
Saying Angel Reese does it all on the defensive end, then looking at her blocks stats will make you think twice about that claim. CC has more blocks and more steals, and Reese has a ton of offensive boards.
Reese has so many O.rebounds because they from her own shots.
Honestly these vets just need to shut up I feel like whenever they are interviewed before playing CC they lose 😭
Remember CC's 'monster' comment? Seems she meant it.
@@markyg236EXACTLY!!! I know that Sides probably shouldn't have revealed that to the public, BUT I'm kinda GLAD SHE DID!!!!!! B/c Caitlin would never toot her own horn. But it gives us glimpse into her psyche & what drive her!!!!!
Imagine when CC22 turn overs are assists from her Team Mates converting passes to points
She's going to destroy the assist record this year. Destroy.
I think there's only 3 or 2 ahead of her in Rookie history?!?!
Why wasn’t BS at the post game press conference?
Angel who?
Caitlin Clark is in the top 20 in the WNBA in: Points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.
Also top 4 in points generation.
number 1 turnovers
@@soccergoal4090 number one at the Box office...for sure...🤣
@@kennedybj1 And number 2 as Best Rookie in her class
Oh but Angel is the rookie of the year didn’t you hear. No one else rebounded more of her own missed shots than Angel!
Caitlin started off on fire and then Sides took her out. Every time she gets her momentum going Sides does that!!
Sides' substitutions have always been a mystery imo. The starting line-up was doing great and had momentum and then Sides decided to start changing it up. Makes no sense. She does that thing getting Clark up and down off the bench fairly frequently. Nonsensical.
It’s because she’s a bad coach. I think she might be improving a bit, but considering where she started from (average junior high boys coach level of competence) that’s not saying much.
@@rrenda1 CC'S play is handcuffing Coach girl. I think CC pretty much has that sniffed out. She is a distributor and there's why she can't sit. Period dot.
@@johnwinstead850At least Caitlin was in the game until the end!!!! She ALSO played the most time than any other player!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the Coach, BUT I think it helped that she got embarrassed when the Media kept asking her about why she pulled CC out early a few games ago, & when she said that CC should be shooting more!!!! Yes, she throws CC under the bus, BUT if it helps her to stay on the ball I'm for it!!!!
Shes a bad coach and she is trying to sabotage Clark.
Reese does it all but doesnt sniff a triple double, what are we talking about
Facts 💯
That's not the position she plays du_ba_ss. Your obsession with Reese is pathetic.
She plays a different position. Clark handles the ball far more than Reese.
Whoa. Give Reese her flowers. She does it all, hits the back rim, the side rim, the backboard, the shot clock, double dribbles, whines, etc.
@@luisotero295first ever quadruple dribble in league history! Put some respect on her name!
So Diana was right there is a learning curve and some people take longer than others or are quicker than almost everyone.
Give her a true off season.
Caitlin Clark’s age is 22. Her birthday is January 22, 2002. Her jersey number is 22. She broke WNBA’s triple double rookie milestone on her game number 22. She is God sent. I love her so much!

“She paints good pictures of our parts”. 😮
That mid range shot is what she need to develop. That is the only hole in her offensive game. She develops that and she will be unguardable. It will also set up her drives, passing etc.
@@buzzard6410 also a floater as well.
Driving in for a left hand layup, too. But, damn, she's a badass already!
She already has it. She’s had it for years. She just needs to use it more, much more.
@@BigJasonHenderson having the ability to do it and having the confidence to actually use it in games are two far different things. Shaq could hit 3’s but would never use it in game… she needs to developz
@@yngtrey1638 Thanks captain obvious. I just said she needs to do it more. And that's the worst comparison someone could make. Shaq doesn't have the ability to shoot 3s. You're obviously a casual who wasn't following CC before the W. She's done it for years in the actual game, genius.
I have really enjoyed your channel as I am following the Fever. Love your analysis. Keep it up!
I don’t like Reese but she’s tough and is having a great rookie year. That said, CC is the ROTY.
Reese is actually getting support from her teammates. Imagine if she was double and triple teamed like Clark is.
Smith, Boston, and Mitchell all cooked NY as well. Not just Caitlin.
Teams have a player glued to CC at all times which means they cant double team other players and make it one on one for everyone else.
No shit, but it’s about CC vs AR. Chennedy Carter balled out last night but people only talking about a double double streak.
Caitlin won thus game.
It took a while for Mitchell to get in the groove, I was happy when she got going. She is getting better at passing the ball once she gets it but still has room to improve. When she's hot it's awesome and she's quick. They are learning each other quick. They are fun to watch.
We ALL know that!!!! Obviously Caitlin's Assists were them shooting points, BUT it was something that in today's game she led BOTH teams in Points, Rebounds & Assists!!!!! And yes, a lot of this conversation has to do w/ ROTY!!!
This the only guy who consistently has been unbiased throughout this W.N.B.A. season. Good basketball commentary without the d-riding. This is by far the most interesting rookie battle I’ve watched that I can remember and I’m 42. Who woulda thought it would’ve been women’s basketball.
I am watching a lot of Sky games recently. Reese is indeed doing more and more each game. Reality is that Stewart is not entirely wrong.
Reese might be doing a lot, but Stewart is entirely wrong about Clark only being about range.
I agree. Reese is expanding her game more than Caitlin is. Still want to see Caitlin have a mindset to go to the hoop in the 4Q and get points at the foul line. Good win, but Caitlin could be better and will need to be going up against the top teams.
@benjaminsmith2287 the one thing Reese will not be able to do is improve her bb iq. Reese is not a floor general like Clark is.
@@excessivelysalty_81Clark is definitely mostly all range. Idk what games you been paying attention to
@@SynthMan65 When Reese shot that 3pter vs the Storm yesterday, it was like a work of art. That smoothness means she has a chance to be a 3pt shooter just like Clark. Is like seeing Shaq develop a 3pter overnight. Is wild.
CC had a poor shooting game but rebounded and assisted to help Fever win.
I’m loving seeing Clark drive to the basket more, and that mid-range FADE AWAY was CRAZY.
What's scary is, when Caitlin starts HITTING her 3's. Notably, everyone everywhere has been talking about how Caitlin's going to need the off-season to work on a floater. Well, she did two today. She had some really contested layups too. She's not going to stop assists or rebounds to shoot more because she actually DID shoot more today IN ADDITION TO the assists and rebounds.
What's scary is, wait until she starts hitting her 3's. That's when it will be all over. :)
Bro has some crazy WNBA ball knowledge
Caitlin is showing range. That she can do more than shoot 3's
everybody who isn't just learning about her from the media buzz KNOWS she's not just a 3-point shooter. hell, lok at her assist record! and watch some Iowa games. her passing is unbelievable.
when she get better at passing in the pros (i.e., being double-teamed), and her teammates learn to anticipate her passes, and ideally when their coach gets a clue about what CC can contribute -- then she'll be achieving her goal, of lifting her team to a whole new level.
Its a new day! Reality is coming!!!
CANNOT WAIT --- All Star game is lining up to be one for the ages. I have a feeling we are in for a wild game. Imagine the Olympic team falling to the All -Star team. It very well could happen. I will be watching for damn sure.
In a normal conversation, she was throwing a complement to Clark. Caitlin has range is not incorrect. It just can look inadequate when she goes on to Reese.
I agree with that! Title obviously sensationalised (It's YT after all). Just hilarious the specific wording looks awful in hindsight
@@MickTalksHoops I liked your take, that she was damning with faint praise. probably without even realizing -- but that reveals her own bias.
those receipts coming back up quick
I heard that number 22 CC she got this double triple in her 22nd game. If this is true, that is way cool!
🏀🏀🏀 Caitlin! Please play overseas! Your fans will follow you and we don't want to support the toxic WNBA anymore. 🏀🏀🏀
😂 no you won’t
can she do both?
No way. she would be better off playing in the United States. She could make more money, but what goes on those countries he’s unpredictable most of us not even televised and she would lose a lot of her fan base. If you wanna have a star in the United States why do you want another country to have a star, even though Jesus Christ is our superstar❤😊
Most players in the W also play overseas. They can make a lot more money in Europe or China or Russia, etc.
Facts wnba don't deserve her
Caitlin Clark is who this team needs to piece this puzzle together as a whole team ! That 4 period with Hull and Smith in there with the 3 Allstars made the perfect formula to win this game so magical!! Let’s Go Fever !!! Now you got the right players on the court !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And only 4 turnovers. Take that CC haters!
3.25 assist to turnover ratio.
@@PaulRounds-l7c I'm not knowledgable enough on all those numbers thing, so I don't know if that's good or bad. And frankly don't care, I was only speaking of today's game
@@mikehall4517 it's actually really good, for a point guard. it just sounds dire, so user-ox1nc9nk2i tosses it in to throw shade on CC. typical hater posting.
a point guard's job is to be a playmaker, distribute the ball -- so they have to make a lot of passes. and that means an increased possibility of turnovers. and unless the turnover is clearly the receiver's fault, it's listed to the person passing.
she needs to get better at passing, AND her teammates need to get better at receiving. AND their coach needs to motivate them to work on that, and practice it, and accept that yes, as they keep learning there will be turnovers, so you'd better be ready for them, and not get caught flat-footed.
but CC haters love to emphasize that she has a lot of turnovers. gives them something to complain about, that their favorite players don't do -- because if you're not a point guard, you don't HAVE to pass. so you're going to have fewer turnovers.
apples to oranges. a fundamental problem with deciding who's ROTY, or MVP: players play different roles. and rookies are still learning about their team, and the league. but clearly CC is exceptional, whether she gets on the Olympic team or not, whether she gets ROTY or not, whether the Fever get to the playoffs or not.
People are going to talk about this one Triple Double for a long time
at least until her second
General Clark
Caitlin Clark has been under intense pressure for at least 3 years, and she hasn't cracked. Respect.
Hate to say it; but this is what Christie Sides did well, today:
1. Kept Wallace Out & Hull IN. Minimized Eric Wheeler's Play.
2. Putting in the new player, Dimiris Dantas., who got 7 pts going 3 for 3, with 5-6 minutes total playing time.
3. Called 2 critical time-outs to halt the 2 major runs put up by the Liberty Team.
What Caitlin did well:
1. Stopped shooting 3's when she when the well went dry
2. She sped up the pace of transition after missed shots by the Liberty, getting loose balls on def rebounds.
3. This pace caused the Liberty to have to move off the boards for OFFENSV Rebounds which gave CC more loose ball DEF rebounds.
What Lexi Hull did well:
1. DEF Stops on Olympic Level Talent
2. Got 2-3 strategic loose ball OFFENSIVE Rebounds; she's been proving herself on that one all season.
3. She plays Caitlin's type ball and actually sets CC up for some 3's when she's out there on the court.
What Nalissa Smith did well:
1. She has obviously practiced a little bit on fouls shots.
What Kelsey Mitchell did well:
1. She has decided to relax enough to play off-ball-point-guard, allowing Caitlin to be the field general.
2. When the shot clock is running down & nothing is going in; give it to Kelsey.
3. Twice Kelsey advanced down court; quickly & found out that CC advanced the ball to her both times on fast breaks
NOTE: Have someone else other than Boston or Smith to bring the ball in for they are jogging too slow up the court & are single-handedly slowing down the whole damn game. CC is constantly pushing the ball down the court which opens up shots for everyone.
QUESTION: This is my pet-peeve; but can someone make a lay-up without the ball bouncing around the rim, so much. Because I am an obsessive about higher quality basketball, learn how to bounce the lay-up much higher off the backboard, so it falls back through the net more cleanly. Use Kelsey Mitchell & Lexi Hull as examples of ones who do it right.
SUMMARY / CONCLUSION: The Level of Play of the WNBA has been so mediocre for so long that one player CAN improve the look & feel of a last place team to put that same team into first time ever Play-Off contention. Christie Sides needs to watch the film replay footage of this game over -n-over to take notes because Caitlin Clark has deservedly earned the position of 'team field general' & Coach sides needs to make all her decisions with that in mind, that that has happened. (No Going Backwards on that achieved milestone) For the 2 minutes that Caitlin did not play at the end of the 2nd quarter, the Liberty caught up about 8 pts of a 14-point differential. Eric Wheeler coming in seriously interrupted the flow of what CC had established. Maybe only suffer damage by having CC only go out for 1 minute before the end of the half. CC has proven to be the team's spark plug player.
CC22 for president❤❤❤
Just how they disrespected Larry Bird at first..and that blew up in their faces.
Poor Stewy got exposed
Fever makes a solid run into the finals, now is the only thing stopping her rookie title and, potentially putting her into the top 5 overall.
Today the world saw the real Caitlin Clark , and it was brought on by Stewart's disrespect for Caitlin's amazing skills . She seemed to break loose from her coach's idiotic control over her . She is not just a good shooter ,she makes her team mates better ,she's given them confidence .She finds players that are open and makes impossible passes and can rebound even though she's only 6 ft. tall .If these people are smart they will they will quit fighting against her and thank God she came along when the WNBA needed her the most !
💯 👏
Her game play seems so natural for her. She could have had 17 assists if her teammates made their layups.
they need the practice. AND the coaching. Sides
to be fair, the Sky beat the Liberty twice, somehow... did the Liberty have players out in the first month ?
So I know less than a rock, if that rock failed rock school, but it seems to me that the WNBA could have had a "Bird vs Magic" year here. Clark is doing all she needs to, to be a Bird, but Angela Reese who has all the tools, and drop dead looks too boot, but none of the heart of Magic. Shame because Bird and Magic basically created the modern NBA. Look at the energy Clark produces, if you could have doubled that ...
There was a Simpsons episode, the first of the great Frank Grimy Grimes ones, where Homer entered a children's competition to make a model of the power plant. Martin made one that actually powered the lights in the plant but all Mr. Burns said was 'where is the heart?'. Where is the heart? Angela Reese has it all except the sine qua non of greatness.
I love your take. for a rock, you're a pretty great rock.
All defenses are scouting CC. It's ridiculous that angel the rebounder has the total package. Plus the biggest it look at sales for her games. It's just disgusting and for you to stay in the middle is a joke.
Stewie wasn't in the post game interview 🤔🤔🤤🤤🤣🤣
Thanks to Sides, CC didn't previously get multiple triple doubles, this should have been just another one in a series of triple doubles.
correction: will be. FTFY.
I love Catlin ,but this is getting out of hand in people thinking all players are hating on CC.Brianna is a post player just like Angel.Of course she is going to favor Angel more.Everyone one just need to calm down and just enjoy the ride.This is just Brianna personally.She has always been like this.
bear in mind that most of us online are responding to other online fans. and the CC fans and CC haters have a long-standing feud. so "someone dissed my favorite player!" is a natural lead-in to "my favorite player should be ROTY, and your favorite player should be sleeping with the fishes!" lots of drama, not much actual constructive content. "calm down and enjoy the ride" is good advice, but nobody online is planning to do that except people like you, who already are. and we're just hoping the players don't take that verbal oneupmanship seriously, and can just play their game and get along.
CC carrying the league on her shoulders . The pressure is not even comparable to anyone else in the league. Face Guarding end to end and still dumped on em.
Why this fussing over ROTY when the season is barely half over? Analogy: some say Gronk was the greatest tight end ever to play in the NFL (now surpassed by Travis Kelce.) But no one says that Gronk was the GOAT. Gronk was the best at his position. But Tom Brady ran the show and made Gronk the greatest. Brady, not Gronk, is appropriately considered the GOAT The best rebounder and occasional high scorer isn't in the same "league" as the greatest floor general who runs the show and leads the team to victory. Still, wait til "election day" before casing the ballots.
what the hell? are you actually being reasonable about this?? get out of here! this is about MY FAVORITE PLAYER!!! and everyone else has to AGREE WITH ME OR DIE!!!!

welcome to the internet
Why not have CC in the MVP talks? The stats are intriguing. For the previous five MVPs (all of them bigs) their average stats are:
MPVs: 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block
CC: 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block
Just wait until her shooting gets hot again. She'll be pushing 20 points per game, or more.
you are going to get a whole lot of anti-fan mail. I think you have a good point, but there are a LOT of self-appointed guardians of the sacred MVP regalia.
Not yet, the league would look like the end of "Scanners" movie.
@@outsidethegarden I expect it. After all this is the internet, the home of the smartest and most knowledgable trolls that have ever existed!
I'm not looking at this from a fanboy perspective, though. I'm just looking at numbers, and also court effectiveness. We still have many games to go, and the rookies in the league are getting better. That's why the numbers are looking better. A month ago I wouldn't even have thought this way. But now, hmmm...
@@jimmyboy131 like the way you think, and agree with your tentative conclusions. but you're having a whole different conversation than most people on this (or other) pages.
ideally, you could be talking to Christie Sides about this kind of thing. she could certainly stand to hear your point of view. oh well!
@@outsidethegarden I'm also kinda trying to add to the discussion. For one, there's both ROTY and MVP. Give Reese ROTY and at least bring CC into the MVP talks. That's one of way of doing things.
And also, why not just toss something else valid into the discussion storm?
I called Sides but she hung up on me. It might've had something to do with me getting sidetracked on a rant about how she needs to step up her coaching game, etc. I really need to reign myself in sometimes.
CC has been taking it to UConn lately. The team in last year's NCAA playoffs, recently "Dinosaur" Taurasi with the Phoenix win, and today with a win against Breanna (I can't keep up with this pace) Stewart. Are you paying attention Geno? I think CC has an internal ax to grind against UConn and she's taking care of business. Love it!
Caitlin doesn't even look that small against Breanna. She is gaining confidence, could be dropping 40 a night if she wanted...
Stewart has shown she's not a good person. so petty. stewart has never been a good defender.
There are 3 players in the entire WNBA that are in the Top 20 in every major stat. Breanna Stewart is one. Caitlin Clark is the only rookie on that list.
the haters (for any reason) are just ridiculous and look stupid at this point. CC is easily on the the best players in the WNBA, clearly the best rookie ever, and likely will have the STATS to show the best player in the WNBA by season's end.
Many factors should be taken into account when deciding on ROTY. Obviously your scores and stats matter but achieving those scores while being the most heavily guarded member of the team? What about elevating a pretty poor performing team and bringing it up in the league? What about generating unprecedented interest, viewership and ticket sales? What about being a role model to young fans? When you think about all these things together how can CC NOT be ROTY? I still think AR will get it, or they may do some sort of joint award.
I agree, once the game slows down for Caitlin she's probably gonna become a Luka Doncic like player. She's already developing a midrange game while the season is going. She will be a walking triple double.
i also want to add it was found out that this was the first triple double in wnba history against the team with the best record, she set 3 records with 1 triple double lol
Angel went 2 for 2 on 3s and CC went 12 rebounds. They flipped the switch.
imagine if she hits a few threes she is at a 30 point triple double. Her passing is overshadowed by her 3s but it maybe a getter attribute to winning.
Clark said that she’s had migraines since she was a little girl and a lot of times she plays regardless of the pain😮😢 this could explain why maybe she misses the three-pointers but regardless today when she played the liberty, she played outstanding. She’s a real fighter.😊
This is why she deserve ROTY - the amount of growth she’s had overcoming so much diversity - all the pressure from every team focusing on her. The pressure off the courts. She’s overcoming and achieving
Cc got 2 steals too and a lot of deflections. True all around game
Wow..CC took out Turasi..Stewart and Coach Geno in one game(he said CC wasn't ready for the WNBA)
It’s a great win but the coach have to believe the line up she used to win this game can win game she has to believe on her team and Lessing the play time with wheeler and keep Catlyn lead this team they will be fine she has to let this team grow don’t keep changing the line up keep this line up develop and let them earn the confident each player need.
god, if ONLY. if it were up to me, should CC go to the Olympics, or be ROTY, or we fire Sides -- no question. CC would be SO much happier, and her fans would be SO much more excited.
The only two people I could find that are top 20 in all five statistical categories is veteran MVP Breanna Stewart and the other is rookie Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark does it all!
And, Caitlin Clark is a good Defender, just as good as most. She's being bullsh*ted by her Idiot Coach!
Again: No one in All of Basketball is Picked up at 3 Quarters Court, Double Teamed, Blitzed, and Triple Teamed today TWICE: In the World! but Caitlin.
I don't think she changed as much as the Fever changed to her style of play. If you watched Iowa, she is just getting comfortable in playing in Indianapolis and getting her teammates to trust her talent/style and be ready for the ball.
CC is the Steve Nash of the WNBA with Steph’s range.
Stewart didnt disrespect Clark at all. Man you guys lie a lot.
Clarks scoring impact is huge between her scores and her assist. The more the team is able to transfer her passing into points, the greater that impact will be. They have to think about getting open for her. She was guarded from the inbound and still did what she did. If you didn't think teams were too concerned about the fever before, they are now.
