@@bones420usa so negative! Obviously not a fan… they are the ones showing up for 40 minutes , no matter what! Caitlin is Class Act… playing the long games… endorsements… and long term goals.. first year and no one has made as much impact as she has!!!
The way Caitlin Clark was talking in this interview makes me just want to give her a hug & tell her that the horrible experience she had in her first WNBA playoff game will ultimately make her a better player. You can tell her mental health isn’t all the great and that just breaks my heart. 😢
The key to "You go girlsMitchel, Boston,Hull, and Clark", is that there is no starting five and that is just damned sad and that is sad coaching. Other than the strange refereeing, the Fever are always playing six players on the floor and the sixth player for every team in the league is Christie Sides.
I love how for these three it’s about figuring it out together. Yes they haven’t been here before but they WILL figure it out at some point and by doing it together, it will be so much more gratifying.
Gotta control what you can control. The team didn’t play well enough to win and you have to fix that before you can say the refs were a major factor. I think the lack of flow is what did a lot of it, challenging a terrible call, injuries, and clock malfunction etc. Never could get into rhythm, if they had maybe the shots start falling and they make a real game of it.
Also imo -- The Fever are a young team who are not well coached in defense. Their nerves were making them just a tad off on shooting/scoring. They were thrown off track too by all the stoppages whenever they got the ball.
Still love Clark ❤️ and I really feel her eye injury affected her game and she probably feels like she let the team down ☹️😢 hope she flies this next game! Go Kelsey!!! 💪🏻
Wearing makeup. No way bruising goes away overnight like that. Even after seeing the foul Carrington committed online she still is gracious enough to not make a big deal about it. She is way too good hearted hearted than the W deserves.
Caitlin saying the poke wasn’t intentional shows she just doesn’t want any controversy. Different angles shows it was intentional and everyone thinks it was intentional.
Thats crazy she leaving the door open for it to happen again if she doesn't call girls out when they try to stick their ugly fake claws in to her eyeballs. Ive never seen that motion in a basketball game EVER.
She knows it was intentional, which is why she said to go look at the tape. It's also why Caitlin whacked the contact lens right out of that Carringthug's eye!
CC just looks emotionally and physically drained… I don’t blame CC and the truth is I love watching her play but at this point I’d rather see her be happy and healthy - no one would blame her…… this league doesn’t deserve her!
@@tonyedwards3938Boston gets hers through the offense, getting the defense out of balance, the pick and roll they’ve oddly went away from. They never really got going in their offense or fast break so it’s natural for Boston’s game to be rather ho hum. Jones isn’t a one of one matchup I’d look for the Fever to exploit, it has to be a team effort.
Caitlin does not want to be distracted by the controversial foul that was not called. She and the team know they are fighting the refs and the Sun but they do not have control over it. If the refs and league want them out, they would have to beat the Sun by a lot to overcome it. They will have to hit a lot of 3’s to do this as they will not get the calls when going to the basket - that has been made clear by the refs.
I mean, just by your chosen screen name it's obvious you are an actual child that wants to be seen as tough. So your response tracks. 😂 I am kind of secondhand embarrassed for you though.😂
The Fever defeat is probably inevitable, according to betting sites or just be realistic Lol. Win or lose, the poises and attitudes of the Fever players especially CC are still very admirable - she is only 22 and a rookie, and her build isn’t imposing like Aja Wilson or even Angel Reese, but her spirit is high and attitude is superb: “It’s 40 minutes, let’s put it all out there.” Love the quote Lol
If it wasn't intentional did she apologise to CC, guess not, so it was intentional. To have Marina Mabrey mock the incident with Dijonai by acting it out and laugh about it.
There's another angle where you can see Dijonae looks like she's watching the ball, not what she's doing after missing the ball. So from that angle it looks like what she did by hitting Clark in the eye really was accidental. Doesn't mean she likes Clark by any means, just that after seeing it from that angle, I no longer think she poked her eye intentionally. Even Clark said she thought it was unintentional.
@@FadeMaster24I can tell you didn't graduate any school and if you have a job ,it's fast food,because NOBODY would pay you to be around...Cripping in 2024,boy your sad and lost
Thanks Dijonai !! I truly think you awoke college senior CC. I think she is going off. I would say minimum of 25 points-7 rbs-12,assists Add Mitchell 22, Boston 18, Lexi 14 and rest Indy wins
The saddest and most unfortunate part about this, is that if the refs had called it a flagrant foul in the worst case scenario, then the outcome of this game would've been completely different. The game was just a few minutes underway when this thug-play went down. Who knows what kind of momentum would've gone in Indiana's favor? Who knows who, and how many of Caitlin Clarke's teammates would've stepped up, and into the limelight to showcase their talent and skills on this big playoff stage? It's sad and disheartening for the fans and players not to get a fair and well balanced game from the refs when they fail to do their job which is to make a call on an obvious, flagrant foul such as the one committed by Dijonai Carrington. Sadly, again, this is the playoffs. The refs need to be on top of their game just as the players are! What further makes this incident into a major train wreck is the footage after this happened. Marina Mabrey does a bang up impersonation, gangster wannabe and spot on, with her fingers bending into imaginary eyes, plunging all those little daggers into their target. She finishes off by laughing like the cruelest fool of all jesters, to the belittling approval of her teammates, and most especially Carrington. How sad it has become for the WNBA.
I feel you, but for some reason it is an understood, accepted and unchallenged practice in the W. The violence was the former means of ticket sells due to the average skill level of many of the players. The skill level has improved dramatically, many of the players are well educated and adept socially, yet mixing the old with the new can be catastrophic😞🙏❤🔥🏀!!!
Caitlin has too much class to awnser questinos about the illeagal eye poke,,,, this message is for you. We now have video proof of the Sun team during the game laughing about it and Marina showing exactly how the strike was done. Yep she formed a claw, angled her finger tips down , right to the eye. The whole Sun team knew.
Hopefully they'll have a taste of their own medicine by other thug players. Fever have too much class to go to their level. Or maybe COVID will hit them just like it did for Carter and put them out for the rest of playoffs.
@GANGSTACRIP40Z whose this "we" you speak of the 5,000 to 9,000 people who show up in arenas that CC isn't in? Ohhh yeah she's THEE ONLY female to ever have teamS change venues for HER... so fans of a player now are "cults" 😒 🤔, never heard LeBron fans called that, Kobe, or MJ fans either. Does it eat you alive without HER the wnba would go back to irrelevance and barely be talked about... you much be a Freddy Krueger fingernails Carrington fan, Carter fan, and 🦒 Reese fan. It's not a "cult" it's rooting for a 22 year old young woman that has more respect, class, and humbleness in her pinky than most female and male athletes do. 🎤 drop facts!
The Sun has some height at the guard position. Boston is going to need to bring it down low to take the pressure off the guards. We beat the Sun one game this year with hot outside shooting. Overall Connecticut is just a more complete team with quality depth and experience. Sides fail to make adjustments last game too. I feel the Fever's storybook season is coming to a close. It was a great ride despite the bloodsucking media.
I believe tomorrow is the last time we will see Caitlin play, this season. The intimidation factor worked and CC will have another awful shooting night. Every time she goes up to shoot and a hand is near her face she will flinch. It's human nature and she'll think about the poke. The league is doing nothing to suspend Carrington and the Fever has no enforcers. Combined with a terrible coach that does not defend her. I hope the Fever makes the necessary roster changes. They need players that play defense, not just Lexi Hull. They also need two enforcers, in case one gets suspended. They will have to establish early in games that they are going to hurt opponents. Also that there will be a price to pay if any Fever players are hurt intentionally. Caitlin will have to use eye protection in the future, because the jealousy and envy will not just go away. She has the off season to adapt to the eyeware. Why in the world would Caitlin say the poke was unintentional is beyond me? The world saw it and it's as clear as day. She better protect her eyes don't be a fool!
I think Sunday's game was pretty much a worst case outcome. I'm sure the shooting will be better tomorrow and we'll have a decent chance to win. But, it would sure help to guard the wing players who get in position to shoot 3's if we could focus on being a bit closer to them before they have the ball so we could actually contest those shots better... We're the worst in the WNBA on giving up 3's... Just a small improvement there might pay big dividends... I know that might allow opponents a bit more room to drive the ball to the basket, but I'd rather see a contested 2 than an easy 3...
what a great lady .. skilled baller , great personality , zero blame game or excuses , hardworker , humble . Mix in Aliyah ,Lexi and Kelsey and bow bow bow ! And even if tomorrow doesnt go their way what a great first season in wnba !
I will always watch CC-22 anytime she hits A COURT, even if SHE LEAVES the WNBA. I WANNA KNOW .why is she always getting the beat down?? . Just Sayin, and this First time WATCHER, will watch CC22 a true Spirit, She seems to always say the nicest things about everybody and anything, And all the youngsters will look up to this STAR.. YOU GO GIRL..HANDS DOWN, She is just so exciting to watch, So YOU GO GIRL.
Wallace should get some playing time after producing 17 points in one of the final games. Use Saxton at Forward instead of Smith. Smith is not a team player and she hates Clark. Saxton can play if given the chance.
I'm sure, a lot of people will be watching. Some of the stats from game one were close to Sun stats. Play your game. You can go near your spots. And slide. Creating more opportunities.
What bs that the lower seed team has to win 1 on the road in order to get a home playoff game. It should be 1-1-1. Every playoff teams fans deserve to see at least 1 home playoff game. Just another way this league is a bush league.
Both coaches Sides and Stephanie White should be fired. Stop ignoring violence on the court. No replay by refs? Carrington and Thomas have injured multiple players! Do they even have a medical staff to come on the court? Fire Stephanie White!
Exactly right - Thomas and Carrington have both taken intentional shots at Caitlin (do not care what they have said or even Caitlin says about it), she can see it. The Sun and the Sky are the dirtiest teams in the league and need to be dealt with.
@@FadeMaster24And those thousands of fans at home who were cheering the likely season ending injury suffered by the player with the Connecticut Sun, lol? ? ?
CC. Pocket rocket Kelsey Mitchell, sexy Lexie Hull and bow bow bow Aliyah Boston and the rest of the team are going all out to kick butt and take the sun back to Indiana for decider go FEVER.
You mean tough questions like ''Well, how is this team different than the one that went 1-8 to start?'' Or, ''Does it feel better to win than to lose?'' lol. Same BS every time.
The Caitlin saga has almost nothing to do with bball. It's all a grand tale about CHARACTER, writ large. Nothing less. What a great lesson for our kids about sportsmanship and where good, and bad, sportsmanship takes you. In basketball and in life. I guarantee you, the Commissioner's inaction in the face of this nonsense will stay with her forever, and punishingly so. CC should be a player/coach now, and will doubtless be the League Commissioner in 15 years. If that crappy league lucks out.
Unrelated to the playoffs but can we please have a show with a few episodes of the Fever team playing games and doing challenges? Maybe go on a trip somewhere together and just watch them have fun. I would watch lol as I'm sure a buttload of people would, too.
I'm just trying to get through this video but it's just a bit hard Knowing how little protection is being demonstrated from the WNBA for their players - I've never seen such blatant disregard for obvious safety - Disgusting
Caitlin's answer was like when someone says the food tastes good but then spits it out. She said no it wasn't intentional but then says go watch the video.
What kind of bush penny-ante league has a best-of-3 series with the first two games at the higher seed? No wonder nobody watched the WNBA before CC, and why they will stop watching when the Fever are eliminated. Any more dagger-claw dirty play by the Sun and most might never return.
@@RGibson116 That doesn't address why playoffs start with the first two games at the higher seed's court in a best -of-3 series. Which means the lower seed can be eliminated without ever having a home playoff game. That's simply stupid, and is stupid if there were only 3 or 4 teams in the entire league But, bet the WNBA does it to save travel costs.......because they're a cheap, semipro league. With scheduling like that, they'll never get any better.
Be positive! Build on your great play! Don’t buy into that Sides Dunn Loser mentality and looking for excuses?! We are behind your talent!! Go Fever!! You Can Win!!
I am sorry, but the Fever will be out of the playoffs tonight. Something has been incredibly wrong with the consistency of play all season long. There has never been a "starting five" who could and would run the ball with Caitlin Clark. There is still no staring five and the Fever are in the playoffs. At times the team seemed to revert to the 1950's slow down offense where the offense goes through the center, the big girl in the middle, which makes no sense considering that the Fever actually drafted Caitlin Clark. What the hell, it seems like maybe they drafted her so that no one else would have her. That it might be true is evidenced by the fact there was no immediate concerted effort to build an offense around Caitlin Clark and from the often disjointed play one has to wonder if there has ever been a serious effort to build the Fever offense around Caitlin Clark. Can that be blamed on incompetent coaching? Seriously, what else could it possibly be. There is no starting five which is absolutely necessary with a running offense. There is no dependable bench that is used in any way that makes any sense. Compared to the "better teams" in the league the Fever, as a team, do not know how to share the ball and fight for rebounds. When the fever lose, they usually lose to teams that have more team assists and more team rebounds than the fever, not just one or two players sharing and fighting for the ball. One does have to question if there really is a "team" and not just a bunch of women who have contracts in which they agree to trot up and down the gym floor for 40 minutes in what is sometimes called a basketball game. Caitlin has the ability to make other players look better, but that is not the same as the other players really being better, the players (and the coach) really have to want to be better. Next year will be the same, with the same players, with even the same ones who complain about not getting "enough" touches, and the same coaching staff, and like this year the team will struggle to win 20 games and make the "playoffs", Like this year the Fever will be out in two games of the first round and again, be able to enjoy the comfort of a long off season.
Let’s go ladies, get ya’ll mentality emotional, and physically sharp, stick to the schemes and execute the whole 40 minutes pump and feed each up in the games and our defense and offense NEEDS to execute as well…ya’ll got this tomorrow game is sink or swim, ya’ll have to mentally choose do ya’ll want to sink and go home or swim and go to the next round? ya’ll got this eye 👁️and mentality of a tiger and beast ya’ll CAN DO THIS!!!! Coach play your bench play Grace, Victaria and the rest of the bench instead of waiting til the forth quarter, also ladies discipline on the court always.
If Sides is the coach next year i will not watch, my time is too valuable to watch when they play like high school kids. Mens high school team would crush them. there is no offensive scheme, no defense, no fundamentals. bad refs, bad coaching, dirty play its NOT quality basketball
POST eye TRAUMA on Ms Caitlin CLARK : PROHIBIT SUSPEND PENALIZE player with LONG NAILS ASSAULT WEAPON during games PROGRESS follow as Ms. CLARK overcome LOSS. GOOD LUCK to. ALL Indiana Fever MEMBERS 🥰🙏🙏🙏🥰
She needs to play defense she's straight up and down doesn't get her ass down and she needs to.learn how to strip a ball put pressure on her opponent she stands back to far
Kinda done with Clark. She cant even stand up for herself. Obviously the foul in the eye was intentianl, then the whole sun team was making fun of the foul.Stand up for yourself have some courage or they will never stop.
Okay, 👋. So weird, she is a 22 year old rookie feeling out a new league, new coaches and teammates. Just make sure you don't come back in the next year or two when she is winning championships! 😂
@@tmfhale6183 he asswipe. I am giving her the constructive criticism she needs. I am a huge fan since 4:years at Iowa. Not a chump like you who jumped on board. She needs to admit it was intentional, she needs to call our Chicago and the Suns . Call out Nalyssa. She has the power, the backing and the greatest game in WN BA history. They will not respect you until you stand up. Getting bullied allowing it will just screw up her game, obviously, and winning a championship

Just Sayin, and this First time WATCHER, will watch CC22 a true Spirit, She seems to always say the nicest things about everybody and anything, And all the youngsters will look up to this STAR.. YOU GO GIRL..HANDS DOWN, She is just so exciting to watch, So YOU GO GIRL.
Wallace should get some playing time after producing 17 points in one of the final games. Use Saxton at Forward instead of Smith. Smith is not a team player and she hates Clark. Saxton can play if given the chance.
I'm sure, a lot of people will be watching.
Some of the stats from game one were close to Sun stats.
Play your game. You can go near your spots. And slide. Creating more opportunities.
It's intense of course, yet I want all Fever players to play with focus and freedom. Stay loose and dangerous ladies!
Caitlin Clark congratulations for you wonderful game ❤⚘️🏀👏🙏
CC22 is so cool, except for when the clock is running, she wants to play fast and tough, just give her a level playing field and she will excel
What bs that the lower seed team has to win 1 on the road in order to get a home playoff game. It should be 1-1-1. Every playoff teams fans deserve to see at least 1 home playoff game. Just another way this league is a bush league.
Both coaches Sides and Stephanie White should be fired. Stop ignoring violence on the court. No replay by refs? Carrington and Thomas have injured multiple players! Do they even have a medical staff to come on the court? Fire Stephanie White!
Exactly right - Thomas and Carrington have both taken intentional shots at Caitlin (do not care what they have said or even Caitlin says about it), she can see it. The Sun and the Sky are the dirtiest teams in the league and need to be dealt with.
🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼
Agreed
@@FadeMaster24And those thousands of fans at home who were cheering the likely season ending injury suffered by the player with the Connecticut Sun, lol? ? ?
@@gregpaspatis9425 what likely season ending injury!?!?!!
Beat them b4...Get it FEVER!❤️🏀✅️👍
CC. Pocket rocket Kelsey Mitchell, sexy Lexie Hull and bow bow bow Aliyah Boston and the rest of the team are going all out to kick butt and take the sun back to Indiana for decider go FEVER.
Go Fever!!
THE THREE STOOGES knew how to block an eye poke. Who knew this was a needed skill in the WNBA.
Classy Ladies.
Y'all gotta ask tougher questions of Coach Sides and Lynn Dunn. Geez@
You mean tough questions like ''Well, how is this team different than the one that went 1-8 to start?'' Or, ''Does it feel better to win than to lose?'' lol. Same BS every time.
Not Lexies first play-off she won a national championship at Stanford.
Sexy Lexie Hull is The Glue of the team
Love C2 the best!!!
Clark has no idea of the power she wields.
Your Loved and Admired 22 Go get them
The Caitlin saga has almost nothing to do with bball. It's all a grand tale about CHARACTER, writ large. Nothing less. What a great lesson for our kids about sportsmanship and where good, and bad, sportsmanship takes you. In basketball and in life. I guarantee you, the Commissioner's inaction in the face of this nonsense will stay with her forever, and punishingly so. CC should be a player/coach now, and will doubtless be the League Commissioner in 15 years. If that crappy league lucks out.
Crickets...no justice vs refs or carrington for what she did to injury cc that caused her to lose the game
I LOVE KELSEY!!!
Has Sun 13th player NaLyssa Smith share info with GF Dijonai Carrington ???? or is NS a true team member of Fever.
I think she's a snake😊
What's going on here jw?
@@lynntownsend4457 Please don't insult snakes. They're much more trustworthy than NS (or her boyfriend.)
She got makeup on to cover the bruise. She trying to play it down. Class act. Then you have the rest of those thugs trying to bully her
Unrelated to the playoffs but can we please have a show with a few episodes of the Fever team playing games and doing challenges? Maybe go on a trip somewhere together and just watch them have fun. I would watch lol as I'm sure a buttload of people would, too.
Sides, you are not taking care of OUR BABY GIRL, CAITLIN. You must do better. Get on the refs for not calling fouls.
I'm just trying to get through this video but it's just a bit hard Knowing how little protection is being demonstrated from the WNBA for their players - I've never seen such blatant disregard for obvious safety - Disgusting
The Fever were getting good looks, just didn't have the fine tune knob working. Hopefully less jitters tonight.
Caitlin's answer was like when someone says the food tastes good but then spits it out. She said no it wasn't intentional but then says go watch the video.
I sincerely hope the wNBA commish has weighed in privately on the assault that occurred Sunday, snd the refs total incompetence. Disgusting
It was on purpose cc dosen't want drama class act.
What kind of bush penny-ante league has a best-of-3 series with the first two games at the higher seed? No wonder nobody watched the WNBA before CC, and why they will stop watching when the Fever are eliminated. Any more dagger-claw dirty play by the Sun and most might never return.
I know, but the league is extremely small with few bracket options. Portland announced they are joining, but that isn't a significant increase😞!
@@RGibson116 That doesn't address why playoffs start with the first two games at the higher seed's court in a best -of-3 series. Which means the lower seed can be eliminated without ever having a home playoff game. That's simply stupid, and is stupid if there were only 3 or 4 teams in the entire league But, bet the WNBA does it to save travel costs.......because they're a cheap, semipro league. With scheduling like that, they'll never get any better.
CC be a fighter for your yourself outside of the game You must understand they can end your love for the game forever
I suggest that the Fever all play with goggles on. 😂
Be positive! Build on your great play! Don’t buy into that Sides Dunn Loser mentality and looking for excuses?! We are behind your talent!! Go Fever!! You Can Win!!
Wear some Kareem / James Worthy style goggles.
Yes. An ounce of prevention 🎉

CC should get her shots back and score. Trying to make this mediocre team better through passing is like powering up a taxi cab for the Indie 500.
I am sorry, but the Fever will be out of the playoffs tonight. Something has been incredibly wrong with the consistency of play all season long. There has never been a "starting five" who could and would run the ball with Caitlin Clark. There is still no staring five and the Fever are in the playoffs. At times the team seemed to revert to the 1950's slow down offense where the offense goes through the center, the big girl in the middle, which makes no sense considering that the Fever actually drafted Caitlin Clark. What the hell, it seems like maybe they drafted her so that no one else would have her. That it might be true is evidenced by the fact there was no immediate concerted effort to build an offense around Caitlin Clark and from the often disjointed play one has to wonder if there has ever been a serious effort to build the Fever offense around Caitlin Clark. Can that be blamed on incompetent coaching? Seriously, what else could it possibly be. There is no starting five which is absolutely necessary with a running offense. There is no dependable bench that is used in any way that makes any sense. Compared to the "better teams" in the league the Fever, as a team, do not know how to share the ball and fight for rebounds. When the fever lose, they usually lose to teams that have more team assists and more team rebounds than the fever, not just one or two players sharing and fighting for the ball. One does have to question if there really is a "team" and not just a bunch of women who have contracts in which they agree to trot up and down the gym floor for 40 minutes in what is sometimes called a basketball game. Caitlin has the ability to make other players look better, but that is not the same as the other players really being better, the players (and the coach) really have to want to be better. Next year will be the same, with the same players, with even the same ones who complain about not getting "enough" touches, and the same coaching staff, and like this year the team will struggle to win 20 games and make the "playoffs", Like this year the Fever will be out in two games of the first round and again, be able to enjoy the comfort of a long off season.
She’s exist to spite theses devils some of them may not sleep for a whole week
Let’s go ladies, get ya’ll mentality emotional, and physically sharp, stick to the schemes and execute the whole 40 minutes pump and feed each up in the games and our defense and offense NEEDS to execute as well…ya’ll got this tomorrow game is sink or swim, ya’ll have to mentally choose do ya’ll want to sink and go home or swim and go to the next round? ya’ll got this eye 👁️and mentality of a tiger and beast ya’ll CAN DO THIS!!!! Coach play your bench play Grace, Victaria and the rest of the bench instead of waiting til the forth quarter, also ladies discipline on the court always.
❤
She really needs to say shit about the refs and how bad they are change the game you're the golden goose
Baseball great Lou Boudreau: “If you don’t execute, you don’t win.”
CC said unintentional. Let it go! Limit turnovers, everyone plays defense, stay focused and hope the ball goes in the basket.
Did you really expect her to say otherwise? She knows her words have weight so she carefully chooses them wisely.
@@patriciataylor2124 time to focus on the game.
When their season is over Caitlin needs to rest 😴 She looks tired
If I was Clark, I'd be wearing goggles and a "Don't poke me bro" T-shirt for maximum troll.
It should be required short nails for the season.
Go fever
It's a definitely must win for fever or wnba will lose money if there is no exciting player to watch for championship simple as that
turn overs are not little things.
Neither team had any issue with their turnovers, both sides had low turnover totals.
Go FEVER
🎉❤
NO NOT DO "SHOOT AROUNDS"!! That does not simulate game conditions and only produces bad habits.
CC sounds really down. She needs to "pretend " to be up for her team.
They are going to hit Carrington in her head.
If Sides is the coach next year i will not watch, my time is too valuable to watch when they play like high school kids. Mens high school team would crush them. there is no offensive scheme, no defense, no fundamentals. bad refs, bad coaching, dirty play its NOT quality basketball
You are right about the problems the Fever have.
POST eye TRAUMA on Ms Caitlin CLARK :
PROHIBIT SUSPEND PENALIZE player with LONG NAILS ASSAULT WEAPON during games
PROGRESS follow as Ms. CLARK overcome LOSS.
GOOD LUCK to. ALL Indiana Fever MEMBERS
🥰🙏🙏🙏🥰
Fever will be better next year when they really learn how to play team defense. They are not being taught correctly
indiana needs to get better coaches to teach them better fundamentals, proper screens and post play from ab
She needs to play defense she's straight up and down doesn't get her ass down and she needs to.learn how to strip a ball put pressure on her opponent she stands back to far
Kinda done with Clark. She cant even stand up for herself. Obviously the foul in the eye was intentianl, then the whole sun team was making fun of the foul.Stand up for yourself have some courage or they will never stop.
Okay, 👋. So weird, she is a 22 year old rookie feeling out a new league, new coaches and teammates.
Just make sure you don't come back in the next year or two when she is winning championships! 😂
@@tmfhale6183 he asswipe. I am giving her the constructive criticism she needs. I am a huge fan since 4:years at Iowa. Not a chump like you who jumped on board. She needs to admit it was intentional, she needs to call our Chicago and the Suns . Call out Nalyssa. She has the power, the backing and the greatest game in WN BA history. They will not respect you until you stand up. Getting bullied allowing it will just screw up her game, obviously, and winning a championship
Caitlin doing the ummm when she starts a sentence like Kelsey lol
