Much more impressive than a gangly 6-foot-3 big just rebounding over 5-10 girls and getting her own misses and putting them back in under the basket like a kid.

She’s not getting rebounds over 5-10 girls. Wake up man.

Sides is so aloof she doesn’t know it is league history.

So, just a quick follow-up to my previous post. Great experience at the game and in Indy. Gainbridge is definitely Carver East — tons of folks in Hawkeye gear. I recommend others make the trip if you have a chance.

Also want to give a shout-out to the Arena staff. We had the misfortune that after returning to our AirBnB after the game, my adult son discovered he no longer had his wallet with him. Retracing his steps, we concluded that it was most likely left at the arena. We returned to Gainbridge, not expecting to find anything other than locked doors. But we happened upon a security worker named Doug, who quickly agreed to help us. He radioed to a coworker named Jim, who took us inside and walked us back to our seats, where we found the wallet, on the floor under our seats. We were thoroughly impressed with this level of customer service … they could have easily turned us away and simply told us to file a claim with the online lost-and-found system. But instead, they went the extra mile to help us out.

We can’t wait to come back for another game. It’s been a great experience.

We went a couple of weeks ago. Loved the game. Loved Indy and will be back yearly. St. Elmo helped seal the deal also.

Yard House was our choice. Amazing beer selection.

Two great choices. Elmo's was classic.

As for CC, pretty hard not to give her ROY after a triple double against the #1 seed.

It looks like CC might be getting under the skin of Sabrina Ionescue...Ionescue's quote, paraphrasing..."This is their Super Bowl.

"OH those rebounds were not hard rebounds, she just stood there not guarding anybody and the ball just bounced to her. None were offensive either." says all the haters on YouTube.

Just so I get this straight—hard rebounds are the ones where the ball bounces to you off your own missed shot, but easy rebounds are when it comes to you off others’ shots? Got it.

CBS Sports Network is airing a replay of the game at 9pm CDT.

I think New York losing to the Fever is kinda like Iowa losing in football to a crappy N'western or Nebraska team. Nobody is happy and "stuff" gets said.

They were talking to each other throughout the game.

That's the real rivalry.

Umm ... so the Fever's next game is Wednesday at ... 11:00 am.

For the 3 games this week, CC averaged 15.7pts, 9 RB, 12 AST.
Reece averaged 16pts and 15 rb which is great, except next to CC stats.

Damn near averaging a triple double.

1.) That Sabrina quote is a nothingburger. She was very complimentary of the Fever, and she’s always been a very likable baller in my eyes.

2.) Today was my first WNBA game and everything exceeded expectations by a mile. Gainbridge is gorgeous, the staff are unusually kind and helpful, and the whole environment was electric. I splurged on excellent seats and couldn’t have picked a better game. The fan support for Caitlin is even bigger than you think it is.

3.) Did I hear right that Diana Taurasi has never had a triple double?

There’s only been 16 players in the history of the league to get a triple double and Taurasi isn’t one of them. That’s why they don’t talk about triple doubles, they hype up double doubles because WNBA players can actually accomplish that.

Very cool. Thanks, Kate.

Like to see cc do more of this ^^^^^

Appreciate you sharing that.

Did they announce an individual stat over the PA while the outcome of the game was still in question? FFS
