Y'all created this problem.., Caitlin never won a championship in college but was calling her the best player in wnba without playing a single game....
Yet she has set all time college scoring records that wont be broken for many years to come...and the ratings have absolutely sky rocketed to all time highs in the WNBA since Caitlin has come into the league....you MELT LOL!!!
It wasn't just Clark turning the ball over...the team had 25!! Rookie of the Year Boston didn't help with only 4 points plus 4 turnovers. Sun have a tremendous defense. In fact, the defenses in the WNBA are way ahead of the offenses. That is apparent watching just a handful of games last year and this.
I’m still a Fan of her and think she we figure it out. I’m just kinda happy this happened cuz ppl were saying she could play in the NBA the hype was getting carried away
Clark is a victim unfortunately of the media hype. Every time she loses or falls short, since the media crowned her way too prematurely, she’s gonna get criticized every day.
Yall bums didn't keep that same energy for LeBron yall got on him ever chance u could get don't try and make excuses for this white girl keep the same energy u did for LeBron the pass 21 years
ROY you racist POS. She dropped 20 on the best defensive team. What kind of low life actually wishes ill on another kid. Oh, I know who...A racist who has no life, was raised by horrible parents, probably jailbirds. CC would smoke you
I don’t know if CC fans are new to sports period, they take any criticism as an act of violence. The girl is good and will become even better, but it is crazy to act like she is the greatest ever when she is so young in her career. Let her be a rookie.
@@malebovinemanure She is very talented and has potential to go to a whole other level once she develops a defensive game. But there is no need to disrespect the much better players already in the league. She is a rookie and it would have been much better for the WNBA to celebrate four of five rookies coming in instead of putting so much spilt light on her. It would have been received better.
@@malebovinemanure Nah, all I hear from them is for the coach to let her play her game. it is the haters that mention GOAT, and other things whenCaitlin have been silent all this time.
Just remember, CC is on a team that has been at the bottom of the league the past two years, and their head coach has been their head coach the past two years. In her WNBA debut, Taurasi scored 22 points in a 72-66 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs. For the season,Taurasi averaged 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Let's just wait and see how the season turns out for CC.
Totally agree. They’ve realistically have only had about a month’s worth of real practices. That’s not enough time to find that deep chemistry. They will find it. AB and Smith need to learn to work with CC as much as she needs to learn how to work with them. They weren’t ready for several of her passes last night and that caused the turnovers. People need to relax. They will get there. Samuelson, Mitchell and Wheeler were rusty. They need to lead by example. They weren’t as efficient as we expect them to be normally.
Bingo. Lol 1 game. I was more surprised at Boston trying to out muscle Brionna Jones, and how Kelsey Mitch looked. I knew this would happen with Caitlin, which is not horrible. It's the frigging Sun, 3rd best team in the league, known for defense
@@Ascension_Royal well, it's not Clark's doing. If Clark sucks in WNBA, people will judge her as a bust. On the otherhand, the WNBA sucks even before Clark was there.. So, no offense but those two are completely different. No one will label the WNBA as a bad league if Clark fails to meet expectations, if that actually happens, WNBA might get the praise because they humbled Clark. So, she should stop with the gender bs. 😆

8:30 This is a very valid point, people gotta realize not every single criticism against Caitlin is just hate and she wont average 30 this season. These are grown experienced supremely talented women, the fact she had 10 turnovers and STILL got 20 points after having a scoreless first quarter is telling , the game comes easy to her cause shes a superstar player but not every game will come off the way she wants
THIS IS HER FIRST GAME! And the opponent had prepared a gameplan especially for her like full court coverage to double teaming her, and her team had no play to help her out to make it easier and faster to bring the ball to their court. they just left her alone, she had no outlet passes so yeah she had a lot of turnovers, but if you have a keen eye, not all of them are her fault.
@@rap3208so what you are admitting is that if every team that she plays against knows to just press her hard, they can get some free turnovers and not even have to worry about the rest of her team. They don’t play a ton of games, so watching film will be pretty quick and they will understand how to play her. It is also important to know that the Fever weren’t playing a top team in the wnba. There are a bunch of MUCH better teams who play much better defense. She will get some open shots from time to time, but I don’t expect her to just go off and make a huge difference. Had she balled out this first game, she could just carry the momentum. As of right now, you are likely to start seeing ratings drop quickly.
@@Godsbackhand7 Yep, they saw that it works so teams will keep doing that until the Fever coach will finally do her job and make adjustments. You just don't think, Curry spent several years to get his footing and become the elite player he was. you gave her one game and is now ready to write her off? Stop hating.

I said the same thing! Rachel seemed more upset than anything. Rachel appeared to become more uncomfortable when Skip was showing her turnovers. She even referenced women’s social inequality issues to Caitlin Clark’s performance.

Diana Taurasi: Caitlin Clark will face a learning curve when she enters the WNBA. It won't be easy. Fans: HATER. Caitlin Clark: 5-for-15 FG, 4-for-11 3pt. Record for most turnovers in NBA history for a debut (10). For the people who were claiming that Diana was hating, I wonder what they are saying. NOW?

Best team ever in the WNBA was the Houston Comets, Championships: 4 (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000) and they couldn't even keep the league afloat, she'll just be average but decent player.
Clark did a great job her first professional game against the leagues # 1 defense. Clark has brought more attention to the WNBA than any player in their history and fans will be watching the WNBA because of her.
Too bad only 472 thousand watch DT with a 2.1 million lead in from Caitlin Clark. Over 1.5 million turned it off. People want to watch Clark, numbers don’t lie.
This is nasty work by Rachel!!! More excuses than a lil bit…let’s just call it what it is, Caitlyn Clarke will be above criticism and always have a built in excuse
@@invaderj815 man please, race definitely plays a part in all this but that’s besides the point….there will always be an excuse as to why she doesn’t perform, and to most, she can average 2pts a game, she will still be considered the greatest🤷🏽♂️. Media driven hype job, no fault to her but she’s been privileged more than anyone without even winning
Race is always played by the Perpetual victim that didn't get their way. winning takes a team not just 1 individual. the entire league includind her own coach has it out for her because of the media hype something the wnba needed but instead everyone wants to destroy it because it's not the Black girl it's the White girl. instead of building on a fresh rivalry to bring new eyes let's destroy this person. WNBA should have been billing this as the women's version of Michael Jordan vs Magic Johnson when the two meet but this is what we get I stead
Clark is used to being able to do anything she wants, once that ball is in her hands. That changes now that everyone on the court with her is a super high-level player. She already knows that I'm sure; it will just take a bit of time to actually adjust to it, in reality. But she'll be fine.
The WNBA & NBA are filled with the best college players at their respective schools and, of course, some high school players who were exceptional, so there's no question it was gonna be tough for her. She'll learn what she needs to do as time and games pass, but this level of pressure and high expectations of 1 game to make or break interest in women's basketball is beyond insane!
….and? Her team retained possession and were able to continue to work towards points. Her getting fouled really only hurts the opponents as it puts them into foul trouble much quicker. She played fine, but she hasn’t even been against an upper echelon team yet.
She'll get better. The coach needs to do a better job of getting her open. Also the team is gonna have to realize people are only watching because of Caitlin. Everybody has to let her shine. Shes the last hope for The W
What is more cringe, being at your new job for about 2 weeks, score 20 on your first real day, and it is a disappointment. Or being at TV jobs for 20 years with absolutely no improvement and really, just getting worse and less liked every day. Skip Bayless hasn't had a "good game" since the Bush Administration.
St.Louis, Nashville, Utah,and some city in Florida needs a team. WNBA needs to expand so these young ladies getting drafted have a better opportunity to make a team.
@franquil85conn look at her quote again. DT said it wouldn't be easy and takes time...that requires more than a handful of games. Very few come out the gate dominating...even in NBA.
@@Sin-G I agree, but she hasn't spoken truth until you see it happen for several games. Is it the truth if she scores 40 with 1 TO her second game? My point is that anyone can have an off game, you can't say it's because the WNBA is tough....now 3-5 games in she's still struggling I'll agree
But Tuarasi was hating. The settle in statement in the second half is cap. She was 2-7 in the first half and 3-8 second half. She averaged 1 shot made per 2 TOs
WNBA needs to fix that schedule. Hopefully they can do that next year. Got to be at least 3-4 months for the turnaround. Perhaps even 5 (as the league grows financially). 1 month break, 1 month to familiarize with team concepts (Ala mini rookie camps in the NFL), 1-2 months of training camp, then 1-2 weeks of preseason.
This isn’t just about CC needing time for an adjustment period as a rookie, she’s also getting the competitor’s best defender every game. Most rookies are not coming into the league under that kind of defensive pressure. She’s being double and triple teamed. Other teams can afford to do this and still beat the Fever by double digits, because there are no other offensive threats on the Fever to help take some of the pressure off of her. She’s in a stagnant offense on a team with a losing record in 2023 who got the 1st pick in the draft 2 years in a row. Some organizational changes are going to need to happen if the team continues to get worse. Change starts from the top to the bottom.
Did she help her team win? No one cares about her 20 points she had 10 turnover also. They are trying to blind people with the points but no win. Isn't the game about winning or does the rules change now.
lol one game and everyone is like “overhyped”, “DT was right”, “10 TOs, omg! She isn’t gonna make it in this league” Sometimes I wish the internet was never made lol
She will be fine! Preseason was triple teams. Now they have moved onto full court press. Kobe had 8 points his first game and Steph Curry 12 points. MJ scored 16 points and Lebron scored 25 points. Caitlin scored 20 points she will be fine. LMAO!
She was exposed by Raven Johnson in the national championship game. Pressure full court....let someone else bring the ball up. Coaches fault on that one. She'll get stronger and more physical and play with more edge. Give her time💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
She has NOT lifted the league. She does NOT represent every woman in sports. She is NOT what everyone hyped her up to be. This is the byproduct of media hype and an over zealous fanbase. She is not Steph, Durant, MJ or LeBron. She is not going to change the game with her play. She brought new eyes to the game for sure through the media and that's a good thing.
The wnba is enjoying an all-time high in gross receipts and media coverage. wnba players that nobody cared to know are being talked about now. they have chartered flights now. All that after just 2 pre-season and one regular games, that is the caitlin effect, and all you and your ilk wants to do is put her down.
@@rap3208 you mean players that YOU and the rest of the Caitlin cult never cared about let alone knew about. Welcome to the league that will expose all of the weaknesses that were easy to hide when she was better than 90% of her competition during much of her time at Iowa. This is the WNBA where the competition is just as good and even better than she is in various aspects of the game. You think the “logo” 3 is worth more than the 3 an inch beyond the line. Well, they count the same. I see that you will go through these growing pains with her. Well buckle up, it’s about to be a very bumpy ride.
WHO SAYS She will change the game? It is just you haters claiming it. All her fans want is for her coach to let her shoot. Her shooting the lights out of the arenas from deep three is what exactly got all her games standing room only.
Caitlin had a bad game and still hit 4 threes and scored 20. If she had 10 turnovers and 5 points that would be different. A bad game for her is still 20 points. Imagine when she improves?
Did the opponent prepare a gameplan especially against Candace? Like full court press against her, double teams, tag teaming her all game? Their plan against Caitlin was to put her down for being more popular than all the wnba players put together without even playing a single wnba game. Because of that, other teams/plyers will exert extra effort than usual to make Caitlin's games miserable for her.
Cooper had 9 turnovers in her debut. Dt had 7 Turnovers in her debut. It more of a nervous thing than any. She still had 20 points which was tied for the most points in that game. And she got double teamed alot. Here is another interesting thing Fever have 11 games in the next 16 days. The first 5 of those games are against teams in the playoffs last year.. I do except them to make the playoffs
there are gonna be a lot of new eyeballs watching the WNBA. one of the first things they'll realize is that that its rare to even get a 30 point game. part of that is that there are only 10 minute quarters. combined with the compressed talent on both sides of the ball it equals depressed stat lines.
Cynthia Cooper had 25 points and 8 turnovers in her debut. The entire league has big turnovers in the first games of the season due to only having 2 week from draft to start a season. Check the turnover stats from this season’s debut games
bunch of excuses. 20 games left, and if CC gets 15 more turnovers, she will set the record for most turnovers by any person that has ever played the game in 27 years
Rachel is off. If CC averaged 20 ppg, she would be top 6 in the league. 10 turnovers. Yeah, CC needs to own it, BUT, why is the coach, with someone who can bury 3's from the parking lot, insisting that everything go through the paint? The coach carries blame for not knowing how to coach CC.
DT's team has the worst record last season. They didn't get the first pick. If the first pick would have been Phoenix Mercury, she will say, "I can't wait to play alongside Caitlin. There's going to be a 3 point bombs, left and right."
People negatively judging, and writing off CC after only 1st Official WNBA Game . . . 🤣🤣🤣. Only time will tell. Go Caitlyn and Indiana Fever ! ! ! ⛹️♀️🇺🇸
No one is. I have not heard a single person say "this means she will fail." I have heard ppl wrongfully celebrating the 10 TOs. But perhaps they are just done with the hate they get when they dare to criticize her game. DT was crucified for even saying she will need time to adjust. And there you have it. Besides, anyone who thinks she is not going to torch the WNBA, is an idiot. That level of talent and IQ. she will figure it out.
CC is pretty much the Fever, they asked her to do everything. Got nothing to do with the "talent". The fact that the majority of woman drafted didn't make the WNBA is more about the level of college players as supposed to the level of WNBA players. She still had game high 20 points. Once she gets comfortable enough those stats will be better.

In her WNBA debut, Taurasi scored 22 points in a 72-66 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs. For the season,Taurasi averaged 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Let's just wait and see how the season turns out for CC.
Best team ever in the WNBA was the Houston Comets, Championships: 4 (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000) and they couldn't even keep the league afloat, she'll just be average but decent player.
You wrong
@@Cwe-35 -Wrong about what ?, I'm going to give her 3 years to show her stuff, but Comets are still the best ever in the WNBA.

CC is the great white hope….huge difference.
She’s a rookie, so what. She got me watching. 😊
Clark did a great job her first professional game against the leagues # 1 defense. Clark has brought more attention to the WNBA than any player in their history and fans will be watching the WNBA because of her.
All I hear are excuses... Did angel have 10 turnovers
She's the white great hope but failed when playing against real hoopers
Shout out to Dijonai shutting down CC and getting her name out there
Hey banana eating racist, shutting down someone doesn't allow 20 points to be dropped on them, but please enjoy your racist bs
Too bad only 472 thousand watch DT with a 2.1 million lead in from Caitlin Clark. Over 1.5 million turned it off. People want to watch Clark, numbers don’t lie.
And then we had some people saying she would cook NBA players
She'll be Lebum.. high volume shooter.. high turnovers.. yikes!
It's not a g league player she could cook and that's facts
She would... For them in a kitchen

20 turnovers is HORRIBLE
That Negates every point she scored
It’s 10 but can cost 20-30 points in result if that’s what you meant
This is nasty work by Rachel!!! More excuses than a lil bit…let’s just call it what it is, Caitlyn Clarke will be above criticism and always have a built in excuse
Like Angel Reese using the race card
@@invaderj815 man please, race definitely plays a part in all this but that’s besides the point….there will always be an excuse as to why she doesn’t perform, and to most, she can average 2pts a game, she will still be considered the greatest🤷🏽♂️. Media driven hype job, no fault to her but she’s been privileged more than anyone without even winning
Race is always played by the Perpetual victim that didn't get their way. winning takes a team not just 1 individual. the entire league includind her own coach has it out for her because of the media hype something the wnba needed but instead everyone wants to destroy it because it's not the Black girl it's the White girl. instead of building on a fresh rivalry to bring new eyes let's destroy this person. WNBA should have been billing this as the women's version of Michael Jordan vs Magic Johnson when the two meet but this is what we get I stead
@@kielhayes853 Shut up LOL!!!!
DT has had 11 Turnovers which is tied for number 2 in WNBA history in her sixth year.
Clark is used to being able to do anything she wants, once that ball is in her hands. That changes now that everyone on the court with her is a super high-level player. She already knows that I'm sure; it will just take a bit of time to actually adjust to it, in reality. But she'll be fine.
The WNBA & NBA are filled with the best college players at their respective schools and, of course, some high school players who were exceptional, so there's no question it was gonna be tough for her. She'll learn what she needs to do as time and games pass, but this level of pressure and high expectations of 1 game to make or break interest in women's basketball is beyond insane!
Blame the media… they crowned her damn near the 2nd coming of christ.. she deserves all criticism
I agree 💯
Put up prime playoff harden numbers
She’s the Russell Westbrook of the WNBA.
She’s not that athletic
She's a high volume shooter and turnover machine. Nothing new.
Yeap Steph is the same. Some games he make it look easy some games he has 5 to 10 turnovers

That means no Rookie of the year? All these excuses I hear.
Catlin will be fine!
Caitlin Clark is White GOAT in the WNBA 😅😅😅 Skip Baseless opinions are Baseless 😢
You should add that she was fouled about 20 times with reach ins and body chucks
….and? Her team retained possession and were able to continue to work towards points. Her getting fouled really only hurts the opponents as it puts them into foul trouble much quicker. She played fine, but she hasn’t even been against an upper echelon team yet.
She'll get better. The coach needs to do a better job of getting her open. Also the team is gonna have to realize people are only watching because of Caitlin. Everybody has to let her shine. Shes the last hope for The W
Worse, less efficient trae Young.
Facts
What is more cringe, being at your new job for about 2 weeks, score 20 on your first real day, and it is a disappointment. Or being at TV jobs for 20 years with absolutely no improvement and really, just getting worse and less liked every day.
Skip Bayless hasn't had a "good game" since the Bush Administration.
Rachel is starting to look a little better as I keep sipping
🤣😂🤣
You doing more then sipping…..
🤣😂🤣😂
St.Louis, Nashville, Utah,and some city in Florida needs a team. WNBA needs to expand so these young ladies getting drafted have a better opportunity to make a team.
Anyone else bored
No
I am bored of the nuggets winning another title idk yea I really care about that 😂
No shut up
And get lost
After Shannon sharpe left this show suck maybe Paul could help
Just today cause most of the show was skip hating on Rudy
No Keyshawn! I can finally watch Undisputed!
DT spoken truth💪🏽
That man DT gonna find out when Caitlin breaks her wnba record too.
No she didn't, she had an off game, now 3 - 5 games in we will see
@@Han78711 😆 🤣 😂 okayyyy
@franquil85conn look at her quote again. DT said it wouldn't be easy and takes time...that requires more than a handful of games. Very few come out the gate dominating...even in NBA.
@@Sin-G I agree, but she hasn't spoken truth until you see it happen for several games. Is it the truth if she scores 40 with 1 TO her second game? My point is that anyone can have an off game, you can't say it's because the WNBA is tough....now 3-5 games in she's still struggling I'll agree
But Tuarasi was hating. The settle in statement in the second half is cap. She was 2-7 in the first half and 3-8 second half. She averaged 1 shot made per 2 TOs
People usually say you’re hating when you speak the truth
Diana Taurassi spoke facts about 🤷🏾♂️
😅😅😅
Yall keep giving this woman excuses 🤦🏾♂️ stop it
She's the new Lebum.. lol
It’s her debut lol
She was literally playing college basketball at Iowa less than 2 months ago! Nowhere near enough time to form chemistry with new teammates
WNBA needs to fix that schedule. Hopefully they can do that next year. Got to be at least 3-4 months for the turnaround. Perhaps even 5 (as the league grows financially).
1 month break, 1 month to familiarize with team concepts (Ala mini rookie camps in the NFL), 1-2 months of training camp, then 1-2 weeks of preseason.
This isn’t just about CC needing time for an adjustment period as a rookie, she’s also getting the competitor’s best defender every game. Most rookies are not coming into the league under that kind of defensive pressure. She’s being double and triple teamed. Other teams can afford to do this and still beat the Fever by double digits, because there are no other offensive threats on the Fever to help take some of the pressure off of her.
She’s in a stagnant offense on a team with a losing record in 2023 who got the 1st pick in the draft 2 years in a row. Some organizational changes are going to need to happen if the team continues to get worse. Change starts from the top to the bottom.
I like watching CC play basketball. My daughters love watching her. We just don't like the white supremacy wing of her fans....
Clark is not world wide female turnovers champion. Broke the record today
So she's Russell Westbrook.
Did she help her team win? No one cares about her 20 points she had 10 turnover also. They are trying to blind people with the points but no win. Isn't the game about winning or does the rules change now.
If she won would you still be hating. Question is when she plays well will you still hate. Turnovers suck but her teamates didn't help at all

lol one game and everyone is like “overhyped”, “DT was right”, “10 TOs, omg! She isn’t gonna make it in this league”
Sometimes I wish the internet was never made lol
She will be fine! Preseason was triple teams. Now they have moved onto full court press. Kobe had 8 points his first game and Steph Curry 12 points. MJ scored 16 points and Lebron scored 25 points. Caitlin scored 20 points she will be fine. LMAO!
She was exposed by Raven Johnson in the national championship game. Pressure full court....let someone else bring the ball up. Coaches fault on that one. She'll get stronger and more physical and play with more edge. Give her time💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
She has NOT lifted the league. She does NOT represent every woman in sports. She is NOT what everyone hyped her up to be. This is the byproduct of media hype and an over zealous fanbase. She is not Steph, Durant, MJ or LeBron. She is not going to change the game with her play. She brought new eyes to the game for sure through the media and that's a good thing.
The wnba is enjoying an all-time high in gross receipts and media coverage. wnba players that nobody cared to know are being talked about now. they have chartered flights now. All that after just 2 pre-season and one regular games, that is the caitlin effect, and all you and your ilk wants to do is put her down.
@@rap3208 you mean players that YOU and the rest of the Caitlin cult never cared about let alone knew about. Welcome to the league that will expose all of the weaknesses that were easy to hide when she was better than 90% of her competition during much of her time at Iowa. This is the WNBA where the competition is just as good and even better than she is in various aspects of the game. You think the “logo” 3 is worth more than the 3 an inch beyond the line. Well, they count the same. I see that you will go through these growing pains with her. Well buckle up, it’s about to be a very bumpy ride.
WHO SAYS She will change the game? It is just you haters claiming it. All her fans want is for her coach to let her shoot. Her shooting the lights out of the arenas from deep three is what exactly got all her games standing room only.
@@rap3208 😂😂😂😭😭😭 it’s written EVERYWHERE by the fanbase. So I guess her fanbase are all haters 🤔
GJ. The day skip met his match. BABBLING at it's finest
Caitlin had a bad game and still hit 4 threes and scored 20. If she had 10 turnovers and 5 points that would be different. A bad game for her is still 20 points. Imagine when she improves?
Honestly y’all over hyped her asf now she’s feeling a lot pressure and look what happened 10 turnovers Jesus
She over hyped herself
@@MikeBNumba6 probably both tbh
6:19 "she looks like she's 14" Josh Giddey is excited.
She’s good but Overrated…Candace Parker almost had a 34 point triple double her first game as a rookie,then got rookie of the year…
Did the opponent prepare a gameplan especially against Candace? Like full court press against her, double teams, tag teaming her all game? Their plan against Caitlin was to put her down for being more popular than all the wnba players put together without even playing a single wnba game. Because of that, other teams/plyers will exert extra effort than usual to make Caitlin's games miserable for her.
@@rap3208 I agree.
She had a great first game. To still put up 20 in her first game is exceptional. She will be fine
Cooper had 9 turnovers in her debut. Dt had 7 Turnovers in her debut. It more of a nervous thing than any. She still had 20 points which was tied for the most points in that game. And she got double teamed alot. Here is another interesting thing Fever have 11 games in the next 16 days. The first 5 of those games are against teams in the playoffs last year.. I do except them to make the playoffs
Rest In Peace Kobe and everyone involved in that terrible crash. He would be proud for sure!
She does have massive pressure. Hope she works it out. It'll be good for the league.
Why didn’t you show the turnovers while you’re commenting on them? 🙄
there are gonna be a lot of new eyeballs watching the WNBA. one of the first things they'll realize is that that its rare to even get a 30 point game. part of that is that there are only 10 minute quarters. combined with the compressed talent on both sides of the ball it equals depressed stat lines.
Wait till CC matures, shes 6'1. She will be unstoppable its only her first game. .Give her a break. 20 pts is not easy.
Caitlin was being no call fouled the whole time. That's the "physical" part she was saying but CC was being polite.
and call 2 fouls on her off rip for literally nothing last 2 rough games started bc of 2 fouls off rip
@@rlhartrum Ref's trying to play boss.
Never thought I’d see wnba on prime time sports talk
Cynthia Cooper had 25 points and 8 turnovers in her debut. The entire league has big turnovers in the first games of the season due to only having 2 week from draft to start a season. Check the turnover stats from this season’s debut games
bunch of excuses. 20 games left, and if CC gets 15 more turnovers, she will set the record for most turnovers by any person that has ever played the game in 27 years
These two are the BEST COMBO 👏
Love Rachel, No keysan ? Thank - you ! 😂😂
Simp
what debut player got double and triple teamed and still scored 20??
Rachel is off. If CC averaged 20 ppg, she would be top 6 in the league. 10 turnovers. Yeah, CC needs to own it, BUT, why is the coach, with someone who can bury 3's from the parking lot, insisting that everything go through the paint? The coach carries blame for not knowing how to coach CC.
DT's team has the worst record last season. They didn't get the first pick. If the first pick would have been Phoenix Mercury, she will say, "I can't wait to play alongside Caitlin. There's going to be a 3 point bombs, left and right."
People negatively judging, and writing off CC after only 1st Official WNBA Game . . . 🤣🤣🤣. Only time will tell. Go Caitlyn and Indiana Fever ! ! ! ⛹️♀️🇺🇸
Blame the media for over hyping her and making her the face of the league… laugh at that
No one is. I have not heard a single person say "this means she will fail."
I have heard ppl wrongfully celebrating the 10 TOs. But perhaps they are just done with the hate they get when they dare to criticize her game. DT was crucified for even saying she will need time to adjust. And there you have it.
Besides, anyone who thinks she is not going to torch the WNBA, is an idiot. That level of talent and IQ. she will figure it out.
CC is pretty much the Fever, they asked her to do everything. Got nothing to do with the "talent". The fact that the majority of woman drafted didn't make the WNBA is more about the level of college players as supposed to the level of WNBA players. She still had game high 20 points. Once she gets comfortable enough those stats will be better.
That is how she lost the NCAA final: turnovers!
Caitlyn trying her hardest to lead the league in turnovers.
