Let’s face it, Sides is what she is…she’s not going to suddenly get better.

The Fever bigs have been DOMINATED all night, but let's keep feeding them for more blocked shots and missed layups.
Just another damn Brian Ferentz.
The Fever just waffle around on offense. There really is no scheme.
When Seattle switches out top and CC has a big on her she HAS to use her speed to create a shot. She's just passing.
The Fever have scored maybe five points this quarter. Really bad
It's not like slipping a screen to get to the basket either. Players moving laterally to get the ball back. Where's any type of structure to this offense?
CC WIDE open for a 3 after a down screen. Wheeler doesn't even look at her.
Clark isn't great at setting screens, but her teammates make her look like a f***ing reinforced steel wall compared to the bullsh** picks they're trying to set.
And it's an effort thing, which makes it even worse, because you can clearly see the lack of f***s given in all of them when "setting screens"...............
In CC’s defense, it’s frustrating to watch her the times she runs off screens and her “teammates” don’t even look to give her the ball when she comes open. I don’t blame her if she starts dialing it back a bit.
Clark is irritating me this game. Shoot already. Stop passing to AB.
So is the plan to have CC dribble right and draw the double from Boston's defender and flip the ball over to Boston on EVERY possession?
It's like watching groundhogs day.

Boston hit a jumper. It's a Christmas miracle.
2 shots for CC on the 2nd half?
Clark looks fed up. She had 12 points in the 1st half, only 3 points in the 2nd. What did she take like 2-3 shots in the 2nd half?
2 shots… now i get it. That girl was 62 and long and chasing her like a demon, so much so she finally cramped out at the end of the game, which is kind of cool in a way, but this offense has Clark standing around all the time, and there is no way she is just standing there to stand. It’s something to do with spacing and not having her involved in the offense. She should literally be the first second or third option every single ****ing play.
That’s the best screening they can do to free up, and they don’t have anybody else on the team that can make them pay. Holy shit. I am officially out on sides.

No defense, no offensive scheme. Fever can only do so much with the pure talent of Clark and Boston.
CC taking 9 shots should get Sides fired before the bus leaves the arena
Smith is a revolving door on defense, Mitchell doesn't have much between the ears. It's CC, AB and a clown show
Seattle's offensive production fell as the game went on. They scored <20 points in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Unfortunately, the Fever's offense stunk, so they were unable to mount a serious comeback.
32 total blocked shots for the game. LOL. 8 turnovers for Seattle to 20 for Indy. WTH?
The Fever fall at Seattle, 89-77

And AB had a super poor game… I’m going to have to stay off Twitter that’s for sure. This is silly and I’m even embarrassed by it, but I do get frustrated by those that can’t see the impact she has made… I’ve watched quite a few basketball games this year in the women’s league and there is nobody they chase around like they do her I mean that girl cramped out it’s ****ing crazy, and we don’t have anybody that can make them pay & Boston had a horrific game.
And as a critique it CC, she has got to keep her emotions in Check. She gets super frustrated. She hast to learn to play free and easy not just when things are going her way.

Of all the s--t show coaches in the league, she ended up under Sides.
The fact that numerous times Smith ended up turned around and just throwing her hands up with her back to the offensive player in the paint like we're playing really bad JV basketball should earn her getting waived or traded before noon tomorrow.
This team needs a real 3/SF in the worst way possible.
Smith is an average PF that is an awful swing C/SF.
They need to reset this entire roster and follow the Iowa gameplan. A bunch of a 3 and D guards to surround CC, bigs who can run the floor with good hands/feet and just let CC do her thing. Run run run
It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to accomplish. Landing a player like CC is the hard part

Screen setting is fundamental, no reason it shouldn't be taught to a decent level in a professional league. Terrible job by Sides there.
It looks like when they play any decent team, they just go out there and go through the motions and show little energy.
The way Sides continues to not use CC in the offense is mindboggling. Talk about wasting talent.

Also Kelsey Mitchell is pretty much Ricky Davis during LeBron's rookie year. I'm not sure if in-season trades are common in the WNBA but I have to think she's a candidate to leave this season.
All 9 Fever players who saw game action tonight had at least one assist —except Mitchell. Might as well clear a side for her after she has possession because she is just going to do her thing anyway whether or not a teammate is open and unguarded.
They don't set screens. They kinda fake screens. Sides is an idiot.
Caitlin has checked out. They don't run shit to get her a look. I'd tell Sides to fvck off and I'd refuse to play for her.
