there's only 144 players (12 teams x 12 players) in this league so you'd think there would be talented players out there to sign yet this is the best roster the Fever can come up with?
makes me wonder about the Fever GM, too (besides the head coach)

Turned down 4 free tickets to tonight's game to stay home and watch on tv. Glad I made the right choice.
I still think the Fever need to give Monika Czinano a call. Can you imagine the Law Firm back together again?
For Thursday's home game vs Seattle, $3 tickets have a section # and a row # so I assume they are actual seats.

that's a heckuva lot of misses
Fever are last in the league in opponents points per game. Tough to run when you're inbounding all the time. Some of that is having to play Stewie and Bonner twice plus the Aces but their D is bad. Before tonight they were giving up 90.2 a game.
Trying to get the number one pick again. Lol She simply cannot understand game flow and make changes accordingly.
You and 95% of everyone watching.
The Fever are now 1-7. Viewership numbers (and all of this supposed momentum the WNBA had) are just gonna plummet I am afraid.
the way this team is coached, anything is possible
Clark's like wtf
Anyone who thinks they aren't trying extra hard to shut cc down aren't too bright
Too many open-look 3s for L.A.---and they were hitting on nearly everything.
Overall solid game from Clark with a nice stat line--almost perfect on her FTs. Her 3 shot has been rough for the month of May. (And nobody on that Indiana team has been shooting consistently well. )
She really needs a pull-up or floater. If she ever had one, she forgot it.

What the actual hell is that? It looks like she’s trying to go hood on CC, or trash talk her, or get ready to press her, all at the same time.
Was this the equivalent of the outfielder throwing the ball into the stands after catching the fly ball for the 2nd out?
yeah, she forgot that she had another FT attempt; I have never seen that one before
One of those was a bullsh!t call when she picked up her dribble in the lane and they called her for moving her pivot foot. Another was off a driving layup where she was fouled (no call) and they called it out of bounds off her.
At this point, any of her passes to worthless Wallace spotting up uncontested at the perimeter I consider to essentially be turnovers. I would much rather she try to thread the needle to players who can actually finish (Fagbenle, Boston, or Smith), even if the pass gets picked off or deflected.
She has lazy passes that worked at Iowa but not in wnba
I don't know the details, I just read that it's a section of the stadium that usually isn't open that they just did it because of Clark. So, my information is as good as the person who I read it from on Twitter.For Thursday's home game vs Seattle, $3 tickets have a section # and a row # so I assume they are actual seats.

With Clark, she doesn't need to see the court well. She just needs to find an open spot somewhere on the three point arc and hit the three when the ball comes to her, or in her case drive to the lane if that is available. But she can play at Clark's speed which is the most important thing right now. They don't have many players that can do that. Boston isn't even there yet, but considering her improvement I'm pretty confident she will get there soon.
She had a few tonight, and a few in other games, but overall I think she has done pretty well to limit these. Especially for a rookie still figuring out what she can and can't get away with.
The way they play with the roster they have, it effectively looks like 4v5 more often than not.
throwing Caitlin under the bus sounds like a good strategy
This team needs to get the #1 pick again and piss everyone off by taking Paige Bueckers.
No questions asked.
She doesn't have the rapport with Clark that Bluder did, so she is going to say what most other people had been saying during her senior season, including her father......................
Pop quiz - What is the number of times Lisa Bluder pulled Caitlin Clark out of the game with 4:50 to go in the third quarter while the Iowa Hawkeyes were about ready to step on the neck of their opponent?
The player at the FT line is Aari McDonald. Aari was one of the most dynamic college players in the 20-21 season, leading Arizona to the National Championship game vs Stanford (a 1 point loss). Watched all of her games the three years at Arizona (BTW she played with Kelsey Plum at Washington her freshman season as the Huskies went to the Final Four). Aari is a hard nosed, tenacious player on both ends of the court. Playing for Adia Barnes at Arizona, she developed into an elite defender -- a two time all Pac12 Defensive player of the year as well as the leader in scoring and steals for three consecutive seasons in the Pac12. During part of tonight's game, she was guarding Clark. No doubt her job was to pick Clark up full court -- which would be instinctive for Aari because that is what she did for three years at Arizona.
How many times did Iowa play 8 games in 14 days traveling coast to coast?
Start your own quiz.
BTW - The answer is zero.

Agreed. to me, last night (and most nights) the three biggest things leading to the loss were (none are the technical):
- missing wide open shots off would be Clark assists. I understand people miss shots but it seems like all of these are missed. If three more of those that’s an extra 6 to 9 points a game.
- Mitchell trying to finish at the rim repeatedly and failing, which are about 3 to 5 uncounted turnovers a game.
- Sides pulling Clark when she’s hot or the team on a run, there by killing big Mo.
