Clark needs to come tight off those screens also. Was the same problem w/ the Hawks the past few years.
***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***
- Thread starter Tenacious E
- Start date
Chicago fans treating this like their super bowl and they were getting cooked by Fever for most of the game. Anyone else see the embarrassing tweet from the official Sky account? Total cringe.
There was no attempt to set a screen. If a player gets in position to set it, no problem. When Boston steps aside, you end up with a double on CC.
Go back and watch CC’s reaction after that. It was priceless. Like “WTF?!”
Probably. And they transcribed it the best they could.
I don't know what this means but f*** Wisconsin.
That would be a Sky fan lol.
Welp, sure Chicago and AR and even Swoopes will have a little to crow about now but at least Indiana is still up 2-1.
And yeah Caitlin could have been a little more aggressive, but now hopefully she will feel she has complete license at the end of the game. Otoh, Sides may think otherwise, but eff her in that case!

Well she went to the right team apparently. Classless team, classless player.
That is really cringe. Second hand embarrassing level.
I think Clark plays the way she does in order to keep her minutes. Coach has a corvette but wants to drive it like an F-250. Sides has been keeping a tight rein on Clark. Sat for last Qtr and a half a couple games ago, wants CC to be more of a 2-guard (except that she appreciates her assists and court vision), has to keep the lockerroom b/c a lot of those players think they're AR and the team revolves around them, etc. Anyone can tell Clark is frustrated w/ how her coach runs her and the offense. Some good examples of video from todays game.
so the last play was executed perfectly according to design... Boston just missed the shot.
that's Sides go-to with the game on the line ?
if I was the coach... I'd like my chances more if Clark shot a 40 footer
The Sky are really doing everything in their power to be the least likeable team in the league.
After watching the highlights today and reading this thread.....
The constant inability to catch passes that would lead to easy baskets and the inability to convert easy baskets when they do catch them costs this team a lot. CC would have a ton more assists and way less TOs if her team could catch the ball and make bunnies.
Wallace just seems to suck, like almost every game.
Nalyssa Smith is absolutely pathetic at post defense. Made Reese look like a dynamo.
Mitchell has the good player on a bad team mentality. I'm going to get mine because we suck anyway.
Sides is a below average coach for sure.
This team needs a big to go with Boston who can rebound and play defense. They need players who can catch passes and convert in transition. They need a better coach who can get people to play team basketball and knows actual coaching strategies.

Caitlin was complaining after the lucky Boston 3 late in game. Anyone know what that was about?
I’m as big a fan of CC as anyone but I think we have enough evidence after 18 games that nothing excites her more than her own buckets. Call me out if I’m wrong but when the Fever score on big plays where she’s not involved she doesn’t seem as animated as her teammates. Easy for me to say as a viewer looking at a TV screen
I would guess at this point that if a teammate scores, it's more a feeling of relief than anything.
She was pretty happy when Mitchell made the 4 point play.
CC might need to pull a "LeBron" and speak with ownership about a new HC.
It's clear Sides has never had a "go to" player and doesn't know how to utilize the one she now has.
I suspect that there's some tension in the locker room after today's debacle.

Same as every player that ever played basketball.
I needed to see that. Thanks. I guess I have selective memory
I think Wallace screwed that play up.... for what it's worth Boston was also looked pissed at Wallace.
3 games to go on this 5 game road trip. Next up: @Storm, @Mercury, and @Aces. Next home game is after July 4.
Fever quit playing about 4 minutes into the 4th quarter. It looked like they were playing not to lose with a slow motion offense - walking the ball up the court and then milking the shot clock. At one point they went six minutes while scoring only 2 points. Caitlin played 40 minutes and only took 11 shots!
We were spoiled with cc and the hawk women. They all really enjoyed playing together and were really excited when a teammate made a good play. Although cc never really was a super animated player when her teammates did well, that was just the way she was. This fever team has no such camaraderie feel to it
Now I am worried that @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset expects NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game appearances every year!
This. Doesn't seem to be real thrilled with Sides is some of those clips. Does ownership what CC playing at her best or doing whatever the eff Sides is dreaming up?
Boston was upset about something too. I think somebody didn't do what they were supposed to do and Boston bailed them out with that prayer shot.
There was an option for CC on the play. She gave it up too early. There was plenty of time for her to keep it and get a good look
