Caitlin’s passing is my favorite trait. Her ability to hit the slip off the short roll and swing on the perimeter is really impressive. Such an underrated aspect of her game.
It would be even better if her teammates could catch them, especially Mitchell who looks like she has a set of backboards for hands whenever CC zips one to her.
@@Fred-vy1hm That happens so often it looks Rehearsed, and I'm not sure it isn't
@@Fred-vy1hmif her teammates could catch more often, cc’s assists would be off the charts but i think they will get it eventually
CC's entire repertoire is really, really good.
Caitlin clark was cooking almost a near triple double for her 15 9 and 12.
Good to see Diana and brittney showing respect to her before the game
Diana Taurasi BELITTLED Caitlin Clark without meeting and knowing her. The fans of Caitlin Clark who have been following her since college days and knowing her and her character felt that Diana Taurasi arrogantly disrespected her. Only after the game with Indiana Fever that Diana Taurasi, in the few moments of being mature, humbled herself and has to respect Caitlin Clark and her game.
Because she is soo embarrassed she lost to caitlin. CC prove it to herself time after time to all her haters including DT.
no she fucking didn't. shut up.
I didn't take that view.... I think Diana respects CC..,. Try to imagine the abuse Diana has taken
@@johnmantovani7285 Maybe DT respects her now, BUT that's not what she was saying before she faced CC on the court. There was plenty of respect for CC with the public and many NBA player's and sports announcers at the start of the season, but DT was on the CC isn't that great train. In fact DT said CC is going to get a surprise when she has to face WOMEN in the WNBA not some college girls! Well DT has now faced CC and looks like she is finding out what everyone already knew. DT is a day late and a dollar short.
Diana has seen 20 years of college phenoms. Through it all, DT has been in the GOAT conversation.
Most rookies don't translate as well as CC.
Part of the reason for that is great players like DT fighting to retain that status. She can't not issue a challenge - that is part of what made her great.
I love the respect she gave CC afterwards. ❤❤❤
This is what we like to see. Excellent basketball. Respect and sportsmanship. Friends after the game.
I think Tarausi was saying to Clark " I hear I hate you " Clark replied " Yeah! I've heard that " laugh.
Yes I watch the game. I was so disappointed at half time I prayed asking God to please give Caitlin and her teammates strength to to overcome. God answered my pray. I cried
I prayed too
Passing of the torch pic right there. GOAT and baby GOAT.👏👏👏
I never watched a WNBA game before Caitlin Clark. Like millions of other new fans I love her style of play, one that seems to be changing the game. Just by watching her since last year I knew she would be so happy to be playing against one of her heroes that this recent interaction was no surprise to me. Not only is C.C. A great player, she is also a wonderful and strong human being.
I have been in this country since 1997, I never knew anything about Women Basketball until this year when I heard about CC. I am now a big fan.
the Kid and the Nanny, they're both goats.
Clark's teammates needs to work on catching her passes. That'll translate to more wins.
thank you for that I'm I'm a new WNBA fan I've been in NBA fan for 40 years with season tickets to The Warriors and I like you wasn't a big fan of Taurasi but after this I sure am now thank you
Every teams game plan against the Fever "STOP CC" for good reason. Most guarded and fouled rookie. What to stop? Scoring or Assists, choose one but it can't be both.
DT finally showed Caitlin some love! ❤️
"finally" god you're stupid. she's been showing her love since college. stupid.
Glad the mutual respect.was.shown.
Apparently, there are levels to this sport.
I love the way Clark pushes the ball and then once in the key is so full of tricks. Reminds me of Steve Nash.
" From One Generation to the next"
"The League is in good hands"
Dang that picture and those words hit me...💯😭😂
Fr tho. Diana Trausi is one of the greatest players ever to lace them up. 🐐💯
And the league will be in good hands.
FACTS. 🤝
Thanks again Rachel. Truly the best ✨🙌🏼
Actually DT gained a lot of fans last night after they saw her welcoming Caitlin also BG.
Yeah with her and Brittany griner hugging Caitlin before the game it just shows kinda the mutual respect and how hard Caitlin Clark works in just getting better.🏀💯
The entire league looks to have changed their attitude and image for the positive. DT probably didn’t realize how relevant she is and how much of an impact a mini-slight would have. Good thing it’s all over now.
Aww.. Diana is like a sweet basketball mom for Caitlin.
First off, I don't know squat about wnba, but CC is on the top ten list of all metrics they track; and top 3 on a couple; she has clearly led a last place team to a serious turnaround; she is the most important reason all these games are selling out and these crowds are so much bigger. All that and it's not even the halfway mark. No other player in contention has done this. Oh yeah, and how many others have gotten a standing ovation at the end of a game in an opponents arena!? What more can you say about an MVP?
I seems to me that the earlier mistreatment of Clark and controversies are withering away with a much better league and game environment evolving.
Taurasi ate the entire humble sandwich after this game. She saw how giant Clark's following is, even in PHX?!?!?....and she also saw her get a triple double (first time ever for WNBA rookie- minus 1 board as she sat last 3 mins) and KNEW she can't keep this same energy. Humbled.
Let's see her do that to A'ja Wilson later today. A'ja Wilson dissed Clark too but Wilson is in her prime. DT still scored 19pts. Nothing DT said about Clark was a lie. Clark look average to me. She doesn't look superhuman.
@@Davelove. LOLOL. "average" to you??? #9 in MVP so far and is a ROOKIE...setting all kinds of rookie records, beating every other GOAT's first year so far...but to you..."average". You shouldn't comment publicly on sports....
@kee7678 ,and Ju J Watkins is gonna break Clark's record. On someone is gonna break JuJu Watkins record. Jordan record has been broken. Where is the championship rings with the record breaking? did Clark win a ring in college with all the records she broke? Nope. The same gonna be said for her in the WNBA. Taurasi is a old lady. She passed the torch to Wilson. Why isn't Clark fans rally Clark to beat Wilson? It's because they know she can't so they brag on Clark beating a 42 year old woman. Clark fans are cowards.
@@Davelove. hahah. what??? crack is whack bruh. lol
@@kee7678 ,and you are on it.
I think your take is very diplomatic and for me spot on.
All I gotta say is, Caitlin Clark is such a threat, that PHX decided so sacrifice their best scorer in favor of guarding her. Let that sink in!
DT finally giving her her flowers was something we all needed!
Diana has always said caitlin was amazing. Go watch the sue and diana show back whrn iowa played south carolina and upset them two years ago. Its on youtube and they commentated the whole game and she was nothing but complimentary
We're worried before the game for CC but prepare to protect her who Bully her❤😂
I think it was an incredible game love how Caitlin Clark and Diana taurasi sharing a moment on the court and in the second quarter just smiling 😁 and laughing was just incredible.🏀💯
im here from the 2k days... i used to enjoy all the content in game with u... things looking great for u.. stoked to see what happens with the big 3
I think Diana definitely was giving Caitlin her props and they both had an opportunity to win the game but Caitlin Clark just did her enough to give her team the win. I just we just got to appreciate the matchup between Caitlin Clark vs Diana taurasi because we don't know how many more times they are going to match up overall as a whole.🏀💯
The Indiana Fever went into the Old Age Home and Stole the Bingo Dabber’s…🤣So to speak…
A Tip of the Cap 🧢 to DT and BG for showing respect to CC#22 Before and after the game. Respect is Earned not just Given… ✌️
Question 🙋♂️ Has a Rookie in the WNBA ever got a Triple Double? Because CC#22 has been so close 2x…
Definitely passing the torch. And she ate the humble pie
I think Diana slowly noticed that threes are only part of Caitlin. Caitlin’s feel for where everyone is going and her passing is why folks enjoy her more.
most fun game this season, loved the good vibes between clark and taurasi, intensity when they got 4 techs, highliy competitive and the fever came back after being 15 points down for a small upset!
Did you just said "uwian na"? 😮
It's a Filipino words means "time to go home or let's go home".
Good to see the Vets now recognize Caitlin's hardwork and talent. That's what the WNBA need and not the gatekeeping.
Kudos to Diana and Brittney, I loved when she talked in Spanish explaining how great CCis. I don’t like fighting. That’s why I love Caitlin because she never disrespect anyone.
As an Iowa/Fever fan I say thank you, total class from Diana
What's the difference between kelsey Mitchell and time ????...... TIME PASSES.
I see it like this: that game was an IQ test for Diana. She passed.
"Uwian na!" really makes me laugh and smile!🤩
My favourite game of the season so far, it was so fun to watch 🙂↔️
Yeah Caitlin Clark said she idolize Diana taurasi, Maya Moore, and i think Tamika Catchings if i am not mistaken but still really incredible.🏀
Top is so cozy
Its always THE PEOPLE, THE FANS and THE MEDIA/SOCIAL MEDIA that starts wars. 😂.
Rachel is pretty. Cool.
Griner is a big girl and the bigger they are, the less they can run. The Fever just ground her down to point she was looking for the oxygen tent. There are a lot of older players and if you run, they are not going to do well.
So DT dismissed Caitlin's talent before she even had a chance to play a game against her in the WNBA. My mom always said if you don't have anything nice to say about another person keep your mouth SHUT. To bad no one mentioned that gold nugget to DT before she opened her mouth about Rookie CC . Some times your words can come back to BITE you in the A$$. That happened to DT on her own home court when CC came to town. I think CC had something to prove. She doesn't talk trash in interviews, she does her talking on the basketball court with her talent! End of Story!
Taurasi just got CCed!
Pronunciation check on Kahleah Copper.
Cc will be in the all star game. She was second in the voting.. Those X users are complete idiots. Great commentary Ben.
Dear lady I'm glad to see that Diana taurasi and also Brittney griner gave a hog to Caitlin Clark before the game started and what I like most about during the game is how Diana taurasi and Caitlin Clark was talking with each other and why are they were talking about seem to be going good because they both were laughing this is what I want to see all the time this kind of sportsmanship between all the ladies in the WNBA women's league more respect less hatred long as you respect each other but play hard against each other because it's still a game is team still got to try to win against each other but I like sportsmanship p before the game during the game and after the game taurasi said and post game when she was asked a question about Caitlin Clark Diana gave the best answer she could basically giving Caitlin Clark for flowers for what she's done so far in her first 20 games of this season of the WNBA League I like it I like it a lot and this is what I will support this kind of mutual respect between players
Once you give someone a hog you're friends for life 👍🍻
DT's would be greatest move is giving up her Olympic roster slot to CC...
An unselfish liberal... like Joe Biden? Naaaaaa!
It's difficult to remember the NBA before Michael Jordan... but there is no doubt that the number of eyes on the game quickly started to multiply. The marketing and promotions followed suit, while OG fans of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird tried to downplay the rookie as just a flashy dunker. Flash forward a couple years to the Bulls winning their first championship, and not only was the torch passed, but millions of kids wanted to "be like Mike" and you have players learning from Jordan's skillset right up to Kobe. When we were watching Caitlin Clark and the Fever at the Fieldhouse, I just kept looking at all of the young faces around us in the stands. All the minds being opened as to what is possible in the WNBA and we will see over the next few seasons as the rest of the league finally admids.... "Okay... yeah... she IS that good."
What doesn't make sense to me is how can Angel Reese be ahead of Caitlin in the rookie of the year category but not in the MVP category not that I think she deserves the MVP but how is she not on the list what is above Caitlin Clark in the rookie of the year
You are so pretty Rachel!! 😊❤🌹
True story 😊
First- I've grown to appreciate your content, Rachel. Relaxed delivery, fact-based content and you don't curse. Thank you!
Second- gonna display my ignorance, but in comparing these two rookie season, what's the TS % stat???
Not a big surprised Rachel that you and Taurasi got along. She likes women and you are pretty. Also you worked in the media. Meaning she assumed your are liberal. Don't know your politics or even care. DT was very complimentary. Would have been nice if this was what she said months ago. It is one thing to watch CC play and another thing to be on the court with her. In her prime Taurasi did not move like CC. Last night Taurasi sat out the Connecticut game with her back tightening up. Copper guarding CC kept her from scoring. She scored 7 instead of the 18+ she normally scores. The amount of defense to guard CC has effected teams in later games.
Good to see Phoenix showing some class!
diana got beat 3 times already... 2x ind vs pho, 1x wnba vs all shuts... no excuses, di started it
I've witnessed the 'old guard' vs the newbies in other sports before and it rarely works out for the oldies, however Taurasi seems very bitter until after the game when she was humbled and realised that the whole crowd were against her and for Caitlin and this worried her big time.
Rachel! Did you see today's game? Even bigger than beating the Mercury, the Fever just took down the best team in the league (the Liberty, at 17-3). Oh yeah, almost forgot ... Caitlin got a triple-double, first time a rookie's done that in WNBA history.
OG 2K Snowbunny 🙌🏿💙🙌🏿
cringe
@@worldstarmb Cry More!!
I think the DT fans who have watched her can give her the respect you feel she deserves. Caitlin built her fan base over high school and college years. We are CC fans, not W fans. Who would ever tell a LeBron fan they needed to bow down to Wilt Chamberlain; Dr J, or Larry Bird first. Miss me with that..
Congratz on 300k subz!
Caitin Clark is plying great
Congrats on 300k Rachel!
New to the channel... really enjoyed your commentary1
I like Griners enforcing ability. she's tough and shows she wont back down. If she was on Fever she would be so much more liked. Griner is on my top 5 2024 players.
What a phenomenal woman great content you definitely know your basketball 🏀 🔥 💯
you said Kaylee Cooper I'm weak lmao
All of the popular shows were told not to talk about this, yesterday
I think you're assessment of how Taurasi is, a bit harsh, aggressive and arrogant with her play and comment is spot on. Unfortunately, I believe there's no excuse. She said what she said and she has to live with that. BUT! After the loss, she was gracious and woah! that raised her value in my eyes. Whether you're LGBTQ+ or not, you can still be gracious and kind and it always makes you a better person.
The Rookie is the GOAT, now.
Just discovered you. Nice, speak well, articulate, balanced.
Its pretty clear they didn't want CC on the Olympic team cause her talents would have stole the show. Not just shooting but perhaps even more so her passing.
I have to agree. Seems liked there are a lot less cheap shots against Clark recently. Now we just need to have better officiating. That offensive foul call on the 3 pointer was almost blatant and why Sides didn't challenge that call is beyond me unless she didn't have a challenge. .
Truth be told she was not cooking at all. Boston and Mitchell scored more points for the win but of course catlyn Clark gets the credit!
Their athletes, your media. These girls are not fighting. D.T. Is the goat. She was saying she’s a rookie as she was and would have to transition to a faster, more aggressive game. That’s it.
Now last night was a reality check
Here we go. Let's gloat about how Caitlin didn't play well. But she played fine. She had 11 assists and a tough shooting night. Tough shooting nights happen. She gets 5-7 turnovers a game so that wasn't out of the ordinary. She played way better than she did in a previous meeting against the team. And the Fever were competitive for 3 Qs and this I put on the coach, didn't make good adjustments in the 4Q. The Fever also cut their best perimeter defender that they could have tried to put on Plum to slow her down. Reality is, Caitlin is a rookie and will have up and down shooting nights but she's making great reads and passes consistently. She's improving.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Gloat would be the title of the video after a decent win. I was just being honest about the 19 pts loss I watched. Clark will be fine but that was definitely a reality check.
@@PeakWithUs Wasn't a reality check lol. Bad shooting night overall for the Fever and the team was hanging I'm there for 3 quarters against the champs. They making shots, they woild have won.
The Fever wasn't expected to win that game at all against the champs. Ppl are way too critical of CC in her rookie year. Scary thing is she's only going to get better and is still averaging 15,5,5 around there playing her worst.
@@NoblesseSnake The 4th quarter is winning time. The money quarter. Aces played with their food for 3 quarters then stepped on their necks. It happens all the time in the nba.
Anyone think CC has concussion issues from the hit in the head?
"uwian na" woah, i didn't see that coming. Does Rachel have any Filipino connection?
🤎
DT is dealing with the truth that evvery record she owns will belong to CC when she hangs em up. CC will be GOAT.
BG was probably high lol
Imagine if all of the players had gone into this season with an open mind and was honest about how CC played each game. The WNBA would be in such a better place than they are now.
Did I hear “uwian na”? 🇵🇭
@2:36 "Another girl" do you mean Aliyah Boston? You can learn her name because ABC2 is going to be a real thing!
By now Diana should be far more media savvy than Caitlin.
It's not 'verse' it's 'versus'. Verse is part of a metrical writing. Versus means against. So, it isn't Taurasi verse Clark. It's Taurasi versus Clark. Or used in abbreviation it would be Taurasi vs. Clark. Or Taurasi vs Clark. You're welcome.
You're mispronouncing the names of the WNBA Olympic athletes... => Kahleah Copper It's cop-per not coop-er
This team can’t win if Boston has a bad game. Getting her off should be a priority every game.
... and then she (Diana Taurasi) did respect her (Caitlin Clark) ....
I gained a lot of respect for trashy after that I think the whole team has a lot more class than the rest of the WNBA
Older players retire or get traded for talented younger players. Teams want to rebuild for the future and that future just beat the Mercury.
CC USA
You actually missed when brittany griner shoulder checked caitlin.....
Hey Rachel look angel Reese could make her case being on that wnba mvp ladder moving Caitlin Clark off that August 30th matchup might determine a playoff spot between the fever and sky and ultimately the rookie of the year as well. The only thing I am just telling you i am not hating on Caitlin Clark Rachel but don't count out angel Reese either she got that dog in her to.🏀💯😐
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣MVP!! AR wouldn’t be top 30. Stop this!!
Plus nobody talking about Reese🙄🙄
I love watching the Fever and CC. But the sad thing for me is that if you compare a NBA to a WNBA game, the women miss so many basic shots, it just rediculous. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but there is no denying it. This is why viewership has been so low for years. That and they play more street basketball rather than PROFESSIONAL BB. But I will continue to watch the Fever when they play.
Why are you comparing?? NBA be bricking the basics too
