that's the point with Caitlin Clark. Her style of play is entertaining. I don't care about quadruple doubles or whatever. She's fast, the defenses don't know how to deal with her tempo and it's fun to watch her carve them up. The assists she dishes are like the Showtime Lakers of the 80s. Entertaining. Who gives an F about the stats, but she ends up loading up on the stats anyways because she's affecting every part of the game. I love it.

@@Blazejones31 I love watching Caitlin play-first time watching WNBA. I just hate the media types gushing over her, which I assume is because they will get clicks. And now they are blaming her coach and her teammates every time she doesn't get a triple double. It's a team sport, and she gets zero stats without her team.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! And it’s crazy to think just how much of an impact she’s had as just a rookie. In a few years she will absolutely take over!
The offense should always go through CC like it did at Iowa, but coach Sides often gives control to others - or they take it upon themselves. There’s no leadership with Sides. But here’s a rule that she could easily enforce: when CC asks for the ball, pass her the ball. Or be benched. There’s a lot of film of Mitchell seeing CC open and ignoring her, or waving her off - even when CC’s hands are up, asking for the ball. That behavior can easily be coached and corrected. Doing so would result in more wins.

Nice job on analysis! Coach Sides tries to mold CC to play in a traditional WNBA way rather than design plays in a way of playing that suits. Caitlyn's skill. Granted in the Fever wins against good teams, they had a certain amount of luck. They almost lost to the injury ridden Phoenix. Having said that the Fever still leaves a lot of points by missing easy lay ups. The Fever need to play fast pace with players who can run and catch CC passes and play defense. This type of play is what gives them a chance to win. Play up tempo and use players who can run. Use the lineup that they had to beat the New York team. Wheeler is an okay player, but she can't be on the court with CC. She can't play up tempo. Hull or Grace should be the guard substitute. Hull.should play a lot she fits with Cc's running style play Mitchell, Boston, Smith, Samuelson, Hull, Burger and even Febanelli & CC (Dantes if she gets more motivation) if you can sign a free agent who can run and shoot. They need practice of fundamentals - screening, passing, pick and rolls and just getting in physical condition to run.

Completely agree. Defensive rebounds in modern basketball are gimmes because it’s all about getting back on defense so offensive players run back on D.
Idc what the media says her impact is more powerful for her team than reese. And how the hell you're going to say reese is roty? That's crazy. You see she just Stat padded to keep her streak going. CC on the other hand has a coach who handcuffs her and seems to not want her to succeed. To have her as a decoy at big moments and not have her take the last shots is stupid and idiotic! She's the best shooter on the team and your best player. She's the one that makes the team go and makes everybody better. Reese does not! And alot of those turnovers came when she first started and her teammates were the cause of many with their fumbling hands especially Alyssa Smith & kelsey Mitchell. To me she's the roty. Think about this last year the sky had a better winning pct than Indiana. This year Indiana has a better winning pct than last year and the sky are worst and they have two top players from the draft with cardoza reese. So cc is definitely roty 💪🏼
If you want production, here is something you can talk about: CC is at the top of every team’s scouting report-it is all about stopping her. She is pressured full court, blitzed with constant double teams, and roughed up physically. She is guarded 30% more than any other player in the W She was drafted by the third-worst team in the W and coached by one of the, let’s say, not best coaches in the W And in spite of all that: She is the first rookie with a triple-double in WNBA history. (In the WNBA’s 27-year history, there have been over 11,000 double-doubles and ONLY 36 triple-doubles) She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 100 points and 50 assists in 8 games. She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 150 points, 50+ rebounds, and 50 assists in 10 games. She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 200 points and 50 assists in 12 games. She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists in 15 games She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 250 points, and 100 assists in 17 games She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 300 points, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists in 19 games She is the fastest guard in WNBA history (not just rookie) to record 20 blocks in a season. She is the first rookie in WNBA history with 10 assists in four straight games. She is the first player in WNBA and NBA history (not just rookie) with 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 blocks in a single game. She is the first rookie in WNBA history to record 400 points, 100 rebounds, and 150 assists. Almost every time she steps into the court, she is doing something historical. She is 4th in 3-pointers made She is 2nd in assists per game She is the only rookie to hit 7 3’s in a game She is leading the league in points produced = scoring + assists. vs Mystics game, she was responsible for 65 points out of the 84 in the game In that game, this is her 4th quarter performance: 15 points 3 assists 2 steals 1 block 4/6 FG 2/2 3PT 5/6 FT 86.8% TS +18
The rookie record (Sue Bird) was 3 double-doubles with points and assists. CC now has 6. She will destroy the rookie record for assists in a season, too.
She needs a coach who is going to let her be her. Phil jackson let jordan be jordan. Once she gets a handle and a real coach. Its will be over. She will be the GOAT. And it wont even be close after its all said and done.
Thank you for posting this video. Any analyst and commentator saying Caitlin has too many turnovers DOES NOT KNOW BASKETBALL or sports for that matter! Lebron has the most turnovers in NBA history and that does not take away from his greatness. It just means the ball is in his hands a lot because he is one of the best playmakers in NBA history. I’ve been saying this same thing since I heard the bs propaganda. You’re speaking nothing but facts! Keep up the great journalism. It’s a lost art.
re turnover topic A) She has the ball alot B) She is rookie C) she has production 5 straight double - doubles currently (one is a triple double) D) she is the top of every scouting report with a specific game plan to stop Clark with more defensive pressure han any WBNA I have seen
Angel Reese is a Embarrassment to be mentioned for ROTY.... PLEASE STOP THOSE SISTERHOOD AND DEI FROM MAKING IT A CONVERSATION OVER WHO IS ROTY. WE ALL KNOW IT A 1 WOMAN SHOW ALL DAY. NO ONE IS EVEN CLOSE, CC IS WAY AHEAD AND THEY NEED HER A 5 GAMES NDP JUST TO CAUGHT UP, I REPEAT CAUGHT NOT WINNING IT BUT TO BE ON THE CONVERSATION.
Turnovers only matter if you're losing. The Fever are way better with CC than without her. That's why she's ROTY, because she wins, her stats matter to win. Not some BS double double streak when you're losing more than winning.
For a moment, put the stat sheet away. There are individuals in every sport that bring absolute joy to their beholders. Messi, Renaldo, Biles, Ohtani, Woods, Curry, Ginobli, Mahomes, AND Clark belong in the pantheon of transcendent talent. I omit Brady because he was the Iceman to Peyton’s Maverick.
Wasn't it John Wooden who said that if you do not have any turnovers you are really not trying to win. I love absolutely everything about Caitlin Clark's game. !!!!!!
The problem with everyone who only want to bring up the turnovers is they don't paint the entire picture. How many passes has she thrown that hit someone right in the hands and they didn't catch it. The other big thing they don't talk about his how many turnovers she had through the first 20ish games compared to how much they are down over the last 10ish. Early in the year I was someone who was very concerned about her turnover numbers. Once the team got in sync and she cut it down to 5-6 a game I am fine with it... If she is giving the team 10+ assist every game I can live with 5 turnovers.
Did you see how angel reese and her mother are saying that CCs fans are giving death threats???? It was proven a lie started from her mother. How low can these people go?????
Completely Agreed !!! Caitlin Clark leads the WNBA is Assists and 3PM - has averaged 16.7 points, 7.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds per game, just attained the coveted Triple Double Double Stat - 19 Points - 13 Assists - 12 Rebounds in a single game defeating NY Liberty - FIRST ROOKIE in the WNBA to ever do that, and is the first WNBA player to have 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 5 three-pointers, and 3 Blocks the a game against the Washington Mystics Caitlin is driving the pace, making offensive plays that literally makes her a 1 woman team Caitlin Clark is a fighter, a winner, unstoppable, in-spite of coach Sides doing all she can to sabotage Caitlin Clark Caitlin Clark has literally revolutionized WNBA Women's Basketball to a new level WNBA games with Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever playing against another team, the viewership and money pouring in is off the charts, in the tens of millions of dollars, multi-millions of viewers nationwide, let alone even more worldwide WNBA games without Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever are pathetic - maybe 400-500K worldwide viewers at best Make no mistake about it, the WNBA is now the Caitlin Clark show Fans are watching Caitlin Clark, NOT the WNBA Caitlin Clark doesn't need the WNBA, the WNBA needs Caitlin Clark whether they like it or not, who hates Caitlin Clark, doing all they can to discredit destroy Caitlin Clark WNBA doesn't deserve Caitlin Clark
CC is so much more of an all-around player. Many of her games, the assists, and her own shots is accounting for almost half of the teams points. Hands down ROTY!!!!!
The Fever have 3 all stars this year, CC, Kelsey and Boston. They are actually a decent team with N. Smith as well. I think next year they will be a top 5 team
@@johannesswillery7855 educate yourself. Boston was an all star last year. She also won rookie of the year. Kelsey Mitchell was an Allstar before too. Man, y’all CC fans new to womens basketball need to do your homework
@@JWLSports my point is they have pieces. Boston, Michell and Smith are good players. Boston was the #1 pick last year and won rookie of the year. Kelsey is a former #2 pick and previous all star. N. Smith is a #2 pick. Caitlin for sure makes them all better but the point is they have a good nucleus to build off. It’s not CC and a bunch of nobodies
Like #334: You do know Colin Cowherd watches your show? And of course, this is why they don't want her on the Olympic team, because on a great team, she would CRUSH IT.
Caitlin is smart(court vision) and is an exceptional natural athlete(coordination and timing). Also, winning is everything. She needs to focus on defense.
When Larry Bird was a rookie in the NBA he won rookie of the year over Magic Johnson quite easily and they both had great individual numbers, but the impact they had on their teams was what was the deciding factor and Bird improved the Celtics by more than double the wins from their previous season. It is not just individual stats that determine ROTY, but the overall impact they have on improving the team. Reese has to help Chicago win 9 more games just for them to equal the same record they had last year and Chicago made the playoffs last year. Right now they are in the last playoff spot and have to win 50% of their final games to equal the same result as last season. Indiana finished next to last in the league in 2023 at 13 - 27 so Caitlin has to lead them to 3 more wins in the next 16 games to equal last years record and every win after that is a bonus and currently Indiana is in the number 7 spot for the playoffs. If Indiana goes 10 - 6 in the final 6 games they would end the season at a 500 record and would certainly be in the playoffs. Chicago would have to go 11 - 7 to do the same thing. I guarantee that if all Chicago and Reese are concerned about is continuing her "double double" streak they will not get 11 wins and will be lucky to get 9 wins and equal last years record and if that is all they achieve with Reese on their team she has absolutely ZERO claim to ROTY because she will have brought NOTHING to or improved the team over last season.
But the Celtics sucked the year before Bird arrived. They had Dave Cowens, all 6’9” of him, at center. The Lakers had Kareem Abdul Jabbar at center, then well on his way to being the top,scorer in the game.
U say bird won because he had more of an impact on his team?? Thats why y'all need to stop comparing these wnba ladies to the NBA legends u sound stupid . How about magic winning a championship as a rookie and playing all five spots in the playoffs
Part of the problem is us as CC fans voting in AB and Mitchell as All-stars when neither probably really deserved it at the time, now everyone is like she’s playing with 2 2x all stars how bad can the team be, but the other 2 and bench are mediocre to awful.
Cc22 is an all around complete ball player than the whole USA Olympic squad. Very impressed with your precise stats, i appreciate and admire the show. Mahalo and Aloha
I tend to think that because of today's cultural climate, certain people don't want to admit that CC stands alone without an equal. They may think it unfair to other players to acknowledge that she's supremely & uniquely talented. Yet, hopefully at least eventually, it's undeniable. CC for ROTY!
I think that’s well said! And I think unfortunately the more they try to force this rivalry it brings out the worst in a minority of people. And then the media highlights those people as the norm. It’s really unfortunate.
Clark commits T/O’s but her assist to turnover ratio is still spectacular. She is guarded from the inbounds pass physically with the refs calling almost nothing as if to prove some point. Clark has more T/O’s from fumbled passes that should have been lay-ups than Reese has put backs from her own misses, and that’s a lot folks.
If Caitlin averages 10 assists the rest of the season she will break the rookie record of 225 assists by 110!!!! 🤩 She just took over rookie APG after the win vs PHO by .1%. The leader of triple doubles this year is only .1% above her in APG this season & that will be taken over too.
Great video, commentary, and analysis. People supporting Reese’s campaign for ROTY do Reese a disservice by telling us her points/rebounds double/doubles are comparative to CC because of CC’s turnovers. Because now CC is living rent free in AR’s mind, & she’s hunting stats. She’s among the taller players and hunts rebounds. This points/rebounds bias reminds me of baseball fans over-valuing .300 hitters or 20-game winning pitchers. The Fever are so bad. Everyone outside of Boston tries to do too much. But more to the point, CC’s stats don’t tell the whole story. The passes dropped or fumbled. Wide open misses after they blitz CC.
It is a shame that Catlin isn't getting the respect with her peers and in her sport. She is being shown respect ny so many other sports superstars who know greatness and knows generational talent when they see ir and that is Catlin Clark she trult deserves ROY.
I think k the turn overs will fall as her team mates start showing more confidence in CC seeing them. CC has the uncanny ability to see where all her team mates are at all times.
Mitchell had a lot of points against Phx. I just watched the full game highlights specifically to see Copper’s 4th. What I saw was Mitchell had more open looks than anyone because of CC running the offense. She should have had close to 40.
She shouldn’t win rookie of the year, she should win the MVP of the league. She turned around the worst team who by the end of the year will be a top 3 team. They will end up giving RotY to Reese but what she has done making the worst team in the league this good, beating the best team in the league is insane. Also Jordan isn’t even on the turnovers list and that’s why he will always be the goat.
Christy Sides almost blew a 31 pound lead by taking the ball out of Caitlin Clark's hands in the 4th quarter. FIRE SIDES!Christy Sides almost blew a 31 pound lead by taking the ball out of Caitlin Clark's hands in the 4th quarter. FIRE SIDES!
I'm a Fever fan, but she does have Mitchell and Boston that are also All Stars, and they were last year as well...but Caitlin is unreal..7 assist in the 1st quarter last night...she's a baller, and will only continue to get better.
This is why I used to listen to Colin because he was honest about bs like this. It’s just a shame. It only comes after him doing a 180 because he looks like a fool, trying to argue Reese for roty. It would be fine if someone really felt that way and was making good faith rational arguments, but that just not the case.
And this is why I cannot stand this guy. He didn’t mention one thing about Drew Brees when he mentioned all these other great quarterbacks he don’t think Drew Brees is a great quarterback. He never has a wheel, which is pathetic.
Clark is literally putting the Fever in playoff contention. If it wasn't for that clown coach and Wheeler, literally screwing games in the 4th quarter, the Fever would be 3, maybe 4 games over 500, and in 3rd place in the East
As long as she is getting a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio it isn’t a big deal. She has been doing that the last 10 or 11 games. Then you add on the points, steals, blocks and turnovers don’t matter.
CC leads the league in Most Points Scored or Assisted On. Not just rookies. She is the most productive player despite the turnovers. She is top 20 in Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
I have been saying since the beginning my GIRL CC is just at a higher level and when a player is that extraordinary at the game it's impossible not to find HATERS and they do HATE my GIRL CC I LOVE HER ❤😂

CC on the other hand has a coach who handcuffs her and seems to not want her to succeed. To have her as a decoy at big moments and not have her take the last shots is stupid and idiotic! She's the best shooter on the team and your best player. She's the one that makes the team go and makes everybody better. Reese does not! And alot of those turnovers came when she first started and her teammates were the cause of many with their fumbling hands especially Alyssa Smith & kelsey Mitchell. To me she's the roty. Think about this last year the sky had a better winning pct than Indiana. This year Indiana has a better winning pct than last year and the sky are worst and they have two top players from the draft with cardoza reese. So cc is definitely roty 💪🏼
If you want production, here is something you can talk about:
CC is at the top of every team’s scouting report-it is all about stopping her. She is pressured full court, blitzed with constant double teams, and roughed up physically.
She is guarded 30% more than any other player in the W
She was drafted by the third-worst team in the W and coached by one of the, let’s say, not best coaches in the W
And in spite of all that:
She is the first rookie with a triple-double in WNBA history. (In the WNBA’s 27-year history, there have been over 11,000 double-doubles and ONLY 36 triple-doubles)
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 100 points and 50 assists in 8 games.
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 150 points, 50+ rebounds, and 50 assists in 10 games.
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 200 points and 50 assists in 12 games.
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists in 15 games
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 250 points, and 100 assists in 17 games
She was the fastest player (not just rookie) to record 300 points, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists in 19 games
She is the fastest guard in WNBA history (not just rookie) to record 20 blocks in a season.
She is the first rookie in WNBA history with 10 assists in four straight games.
She is the first player in WNBA and NBA history (not just rookie) with 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 blocks in a single game.
She is the first rookie in WNBA history to record 400 points, 100 rebounds, and 150 assists.
Almost every time she steps into the court, she is doing something historical.
She is 4th in 3-pointers made
She is 2nd in assists per game
She is the only rookie to hit 7 3’s in a game
She is leading the league in points produced = scoring + assists.
vs Mystics game, she was responsible for 65 points out of the 84 in the game
In that game, this is her 4th quarter performance:
15 points
3 assists
2 steals
1 block
4/6 FG
2/2 3PT
5/6 FT
86.8% TS

CC's turnovers is due in large part caused by her own teammates who cannot catch the passes!!!
I think the Andrew Luck/Caitlin Clark comparison is really good.
HER TEAMMATES CANT CATCH HIGH SKILL PASSES
The rookie record (Sue Bird) was 3 double-doubles with points and assists. CC now has 6. She will destroy the rookie record for assists in a season, too.
It’s crazy because she’ll probably get another triple double as well!
But no one brings that up because that improves her ROTY claim.
She needs a coach who is going to let her be her. Phil jackson let jordan be jordan. Once she gets a handle and a real coach. Its will be over. She will be the GOAT. And it wont even be close after its all said and done.
Phil Jackson made Jordan fit into the triangle. But Sides is no Phil Jackson.
Thank you for posting this video. Any analyst and commentator saying Caitlin has too many turnovers DOES NOT KNOW BASKETBALL or sports for that matter! Lebron has the most turnovers in NBA history and that does not take away from his greatness. It just means the ball is in his hands a lot because he is one of the best playmakers in NBA history. I’ve been saying this same thing since I heard the bs propaganda. You’re speaking nothing but facts! Keep up the great journalism. It’s a lost art.
Exactly!
re turnover topic
A) She has the ball alot
B) She is rookie
C) she has production 5 straight double - doubles currently (one is a triple double)
D) she is the top of every scouting report with a specific game plan to stop Clark with more defensive pressure han any WBNA I have seen
2:48 "She's not only GOOD, she's GETTING BETTER." Watch out! 😯
Mmhmm
Angel Reese is a Embarrassment to be mentioned for ROTY.... PLEASE STOP THOSE SISTERHOOD AND DEI FROM MAKING IT A CONVERSATION OVER WHO IS ROTY. WE ALL KNOW IT A 1 WOMAN SHOW ALL DAY. NO ONE IS EVEN CLOSE, CC IS WAY AHEAD AND THEY NEED HER A 5 GAMES NDP JUST TO CAUGHT UP, I REPEAT CAUGHT NOT WINNING IT BUT TO BE ON THE CONVERSATION.
Exactly why Caitlin deserves ROTY, she is putting in the work that forwards and centers are supposed to be doing.
Mmhmm
Turnovers only matter if you're losing. The Fever are way better with CC than without her. That's why she's ROTY, because she wins, her stats matter to win. Not some BS double double streak when you're losing more than winning.
Angel Reese only had nine rebounds they gave it to her they trying their best to keep their way for that Chucky doll to win rookie of the year
For a moment, put the stat sheet away. There are individuals in every sport that bring absolute joy to their beholders. Messi, Renaldo, Biles, Ohtani, Woods, Curry, Ginobli, Mahomes, AND Clark belong in the pantheon of transcendent talent. I omit Brady because he was the Iceman to Peyton’s Maverick.
Your speaking facts
Thank you!
Spot on Colin! Remind everyone about Reggie Jackson!!!!
Wasn't it John Wooden who said that if you do not have any turnovers you are really not trying to win. I love absolutely everything about Caitlin Clark's game. !!!!!!
CC is the wnba!🤷🏼♂️🥰🥰🥰🥰
The non-stop blitzing on her is only making her better and those teams doing that to her will soon realize it.
The problem with everyone who only want to bring up the turnovers is they don't paint the entire picture. How many passes has she thrown that hit someone right in the hands and they didn't catch it. The other big thing they don't talk about his how many turnovers she had through the first 20ish games compared to how much they are down over the last 10ish. Early in the year I was someone who was very concerned about her turnover numbers. Once the team got in sync and she cut it down to 5-6 a game I am fine with it... If she is giving the team 10+ assist every game I can live with 5 turnovers.
Did you see how angel reese and her mother are saying that CCs fans are giving death threats???? It was proven a lie started from her mother. How low can these people go?????
And thats why.....tha ghetto!!!
The other thing I haven't seen mentioned are the minutes she's playing.
38'30", 39' etc per game.
She should lead in ast and double doubles.... if her teammates would catch it and make a shot
If Angel Reese wins ROY award, it will be the crime of the century.
Haha I have a video posting about this tomorrow! Colin says it would be the best thing to happen.
It's almost like the hate out there makes people want to support her even more strongly
Completely Agreed !!!
Caitlin Clark leads the WNBA is Assists and 3PM - has averaged 16.7 points, 7.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds per game, just attained the coveted Triple Double Double Stat - 19 Points - 13 Assists - 12 Rebounds in a single game defeating NY Liberty - FIRST ROOKIE in the WNBA to ever do that, and is the first WNBA player to have 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 5 three-pointers, and 3 Blocks the a game against the Washington Mystics
Caitlin is driving the pace, making offensive plays that literally makes her a 1 woman team
Caitlin Clark is a fighter, a winner, unstoppable, in-spite of coach Sides doing all she can to sabotage Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark has literally revolutionized WNBA Women's Basketball to a new level
WNBA games with Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever playing against another team, the viewership and money pouring in is off the charts, in the tens of millions of dollars, multi-millions of viewers nationwide, let alone even more worldwide
WNBA games without Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever are pathetic - maybe 400-500K worldwide viewers at best
Make no mistake about it, the WNBA is now the Caitlin Clark show
Fans are watching Caitlin Clark, NOT the WNBA
Caitlin Clark doesn't need the WNBA, the WNBA needs Caitlin Clark whether they like it or not, who hates Caitlin Clark, doing all they can to discredit destroy Caitlin Clark
WNBA doesn't deserve Caitlin Clark
CC is so much more of an all-around player. Many of her games, the assists, and her own shots is accounting for almost half of the teams points. Hands down ROTY!!!!!
The Fever have 3 all stars this year, CC, Kelsey and Boston. They are actually a decent team with N. Smith as well. I think next year they will be a top 5 team
Well they’re a decent team now because CC went there. Next season they should be way better for sure.
They have zero without CC
@@johannesswillery7855 educate yourself. Boston was an all star last year. She also won rookie of the year. Kelsey Mitchell was an Allstar before too. Man, y’all CC fans new to womens basketball need to do your homework
@@JWLSports my point is they have pieces. Boston, Michell and Smith are good players. Boston was the #1 pick last year and won rookie of the year. Kelsey is a former #2 pick and previous all star. N. Smith is a #2 pick. Caitlin for sure makes them all better but the point is they have a good nucleus to build off. It’s not CC and a bunch of nobodies
@@WorldBeater123 I am very impressed by Kelsey Mitchell. AB is just big. CC is making players out of them.
Like #334: You do know Colin Cowherd watches your show?
And of course, this is why they don't want her on the Olympic team, because on a great team, she would CRUSH IT.
lol he watches my show? What do you mean?
And yeah it’s crazy to think how much even better she would be with great players around her.
I was hoping you’d have proof. 😂
Had me daydreaming of a clip of him referring to my show. Haha
I’m amazed on how CC is dealing with all this at 22 years old. It’s mind-boggling.
She’s a pro!
CC for ROY!!!
I think so!
great insight/analysis of stats!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I love Catlin Clark. She has the it factor. She can’t be touched
Caitlin is smart(court vision) and is an exceptional natural athlete(coordination and timing). Also, winning is everything. She needs to focus on defense.
When Larry Bird was a rookie in the NBA he won rookie of the year over Magic Johnson quite easily and they both had great individual numbers, but the impact they had on their teams was what was the deciding factor and Bird improved the Celtics by more than double the wins from their previous season. It is not just individual stats that determine ROTY, but the overall impact they have on improving the team. Reese has to help Chicago win 9 more games just for them to equal the same record they had last year and Chicago made the playoffs last year. Right now they are in the last playoff spot and have to win 50% of their final games to equal the same result as last season. Indiana finished next to last in the league in 2023 at 13 - 27 so Caitlin has to lead them to 3 more wins in the next 16 games to equal last years record and every win after that is a bonus and currently Indiana is in the number 7 spot for the playoffs. If Indiana goes 10 - 6 in the final 6 games they would end the season at a 500 record and would certainly be in the playoffs. Chicago would have to go 11 - 7 to do the same thing. I guarantee that if all Chicago and Reese are concerned about is continuing her "double double" streak they will not get 11 wins and will be lucky to get 9 wins and equal last years record and if that is all they achieve with Reese on their team she has absolutely ZERO claim to ROTY because she will have brought NOTHING to or improved the team over last season.
But the Celtics sucked the year before Bird arrived. They had Dave Cowens, all 6’9” of him, at center. The Lakers had Kareem Abdul Jabbar at center, then well on his way to being the top,scorer in the game.
U say bird won because he had more of an impact on his team?? Thats why y'all need to stop comparing these wnba ladies to the NBA legends u sound stupid . How about magic winning a championship as a rookie and playing all five spots in the playoffs
WAS RAVEN JOHNSON PLAYING THUG !!! DEFENSE ON CAITLIN CLARK ?? 💪🏾💯💪🏾
Angel - The Queen of Airball Layups ...
Somebody has to wear the crown. 😂
Totally agree except she does have two all star teammates, Mitchell and Boston.
Part of the problem is us as CC fans voting in AB and Mitchell as All-stars when neither probably really deserved it at the time, now everyone is like she’s playing with 2 2x all stars how bad can the team be, but the other 2 and bench are mediocre to awful.
Cc22 is an all around complete ball player than the whole USA Olympic squad. Very impressed with your precise stats, i appreciate and admire the show. Mahalo and Aloha
I never heard this point made with Tony Romo. Guy was a production machine and all anybody talked about was the pic's. Same with Dak
Depends on the person honestly.
She will have a great career. Her teammates love her
CC ROTY, All Star and Olympic Gold! Could be an epic year!
Yet they robbed her of the Olympics. 🤦♂️
Angel Reese is a great rebounder.... THAT'S IT. CLARK IS JUST A GENERATIONAL TALENT. Sucks to be Reese.... And all those jealous black women
we need video of Angels self rebounds and bunny misses!
Caitlin has 1 triple double as well.
I can't believe that you don't have that fact in front of you.
Bros, come on now
😂 I’ve talked about her triple double extensively.
Same thing in any job. You can get away with late at work. When you an asset of the company.
I tend to think that because of today's cultural climate, certain people don't want to admit that CC stands alone without an equal. They may think it unfair to other players to acknowledge that she's supremely & uniquely talented. Yet, hopefully at least eventually, it's undeniable. CC for ROTY!
I think that’s well said! And I think unfortunately the more they try to force this rivalry it brings out the worst in a minority of people. And then the media highlights those people as the norm. It’s really unfortunate.
Clark commits T/O’s but her assist to turnover ratio is still spectacular. She is guarded from the inbounds pass physically with the refs calling almost nothing as if to prove some point. Clark has more T/O’s from fumbled passes that should have been lay-ups than Reese has put backs from her own misses, and that’s a lot folks.
If Caitlin averages 10 assists the rest of the season she will break the rookie record of 225 assists by 110!!!! 🤩
She just took over rookie APG after the win vs PHO by .1%.
The leader of triple doubles this year is only .1% above her in APG this season & that will be taken over too.
A great athlete cannot control moving faster if they never move faster and make the mistakes it takes to learn how to move faster.
Great video, commentary, and analysis. People supporting Reese’s campaign for ROTY do Reese a disservice by telling us her points/rebounds double/doubles are comparative to CC because of CC’s turnovers. Because now CC is living rent free in AR’s mind, & she’s hunting stats. She’s among the taller players and hunts rebounds. This points/rebounds bias reminds me of baseball fans over-valuing .300 hitters or 20-game winning pitchers. The Fever are so bad. Everyone outside of Boston tries to do too much. But more to the point, CC’s stats don’t tell the whole story. The passes dropped or fumbled. Wide open misses after they blitz CC.
It is a shame that Catlin isn't getting the respect with her peers and in her sport. She is being shown respect ny so many other sports superstars who know greatness and knows generational talent when they see ir and that is Catlin Clark she trult deserves ROY.
It’s just crazy CC has become so decisive.
You mean she’s being guarded like Luka every game? Getting picked up when you get the ball inbounds? Yeah, like Luka
Lakers should have picked CC! They messed up
😂😂😂 better than Bronny
I think k the turn overs will fall as her team mates start showing more confidence in CC seeing them. CC has the uncanny ability to see where all her team mates are at all times.
Mitchell had a lot of points against Phx. I just watched the full game highlights specifically to see Copper’s 4th. What I saw was Mitchell had more open looks than anyone because of CC running the offense. She should have had close to 40.
All-time greatest points guards led the league in turnovers -- Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, Jason Kidd
Exactly! I made a whole video about that as well.
She shouldn’t win rookie of the year, she should win the MVP of the league. She turned around the worst team who by the end of the year will be a top 3 team. They will end up giving RotY to Reese but what she has done making the worst team in the league this good, beating the best team in the league is insane. Also Jordan isn’t even on the turnovers list and that’s why he will always be the goat.
Hawkeye fans been trying to tell y'all
Haha the world knows now!
Christy Sides almost blew a 31 pound lead by taking the ball out of Caitlin Clark's hands in the 4th quarter.
FIRE SIDES!Christy Sides almost blew a 31 pound lead by taking the ball out of Caitlin Clark's hands in the 4th quarter.
FIRE SIDES!
I’d rather watch this where it’s real talk instead of woken DEI Disney’s espn shows
CC should be averaging 20-10-5 with multiple blocks and steals too. AND that's with EVERY team trying exclusively to shut her down EVERY night
It’s absolutely wild!
I'm a Fever fan, but she does have Mitchell and Boston that are also All Stars, and they were last year as well...but Caitlin is unreal..7 assist in the 1st quarter last night...she's a baller, and will only continue to get better.
Great points in all dimensions.
Thank you!
This is why I used to listen to Colin because he was honest about bs like this. It’s just a shame. It only comes after him doing a 180 because he looks like a fool, trying to argue Reese for roty. It would be fine if someone really felt that way and was making good faith rational arguments, but that just not the case.
This is politics way more than it's basketball and people don't use their brains when it comes to politics.
Mmhmm
Clark is better in every stat category except rebounds than Reece. Clark has the whole DEI thing against her though.
She has 2 all-stars on that team.
They were the worst team last season. Hence why they had the number 1 pick
Christy sides coaching style is jurassic😂😂😂
And this is why I cannot stand this guy. He didn’t mention one thing about Drew Brees when he mentioned all these other great quarterbacks he don’t think Drew Brees is a great quarterback. He never has a wheel, which is pathetic.
Enough about NFL quarterbacks, 😳. We get the analogy. The topic is Caitlin Clark!
😂
Clark is literally putting the Fever in playoff contention. If it wasn't for that clown coach and Wheeler, literally screwing games in the 4th quarter, the Fever would be 3, maybe 4 games over 500, and in 3rd place in the East
I hate saying this but if CC were black Reese would only be getting an honorable mention as ROTY. Full stop.
Unfortunately they made race the dominant talking point.
CC gets double teamed as soon as she gets in the arena, from the parking lot to the hardwood. Still makes double double easy.
Haha so true!
I saw ESPN had this woman saying standings will decide Rookie of the Year😂
Yup! Which was such an absurd statement!
Did that apply to the athletes of the past?...
No. Wembanyama was rookie of the year and the spurs were awful.
she's not catching up the speed , she's the speed ther her teammates need to catch ..
Not all turnovers lead to points for the other team. But all assists lead to points for the passer's team.
As long as she is getting a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio it isn’t a big deal. She has been doing that the last 10 or 11 games. Then you add on the points, steals, blocks and turnovers don’t matter.
CC leads the league in Most Points Scored or Assisted On. Not just rookies. She is the most productive player despite the turnovers. She is top 20 in Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
She’s a beast!
I have been saying since the beginning my GIRL CC is just at a higher level and when a player is that extraordinary at the game it's impossible not to find HATERS and they do HATE my GIRL CC I LOVE HER ❤😂
