As are any great and super competitive players. Pretty much everybody not on the Bulls hated MJ I can assure you of that.....
***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***
- Thread starter Tenacious E
- Start date
I think also a fair amount of his teammates as well. He was incredibly hard on them being the ultimate competitor.
That is an excellent point. Great post spider. My bet is that "two shits" would rather play in the smaller facility. Since she doesn't give "two shits" what the fans think..
Good point. I'd heard that as well, that many of his team mates weren't fond of him. I do think that they all really enjoyed all that "jewelry" they ended up with though.. 😏
She plays with plenty of "sizzle", and she's just getting started. Wait until she's been in the league a couple of years, and matures a bit more both physically AND mentally. She'll be lethal....
I don't know about that. Millions and millions of non-fever fans love watching her play. Gets props from Steph Curry, Lebron, and Kevin Garnett to name just a few. Seems like most of the W players are warming up to her. There have been about 5 incidents where people tried to get physical with her. Right out of the blocks with Carrington on the Sun, then Chenedy Carter for Chicago, and then Skylar with that little shoulder in the last game. Maybe there was one or two more. But for the most part, it seems like they all like her when they are not playing her, except for those in the tank for Angel Reese.
She is lethal, and she is incredibly entertaining, and has sizzle, but even she said in her interview she doesn't do those spinning no looks passes like Ticha did. It's not an attack on her, she's just not as flashy.
Well if Hull keeps playing anything like that and Mitchell their going to be a handful.....
What's the message she's trying to send Caitlin, respect us as you're blowing us out?
That didn't seem to be on the minds of the teams that were hammering the Fever early in the season.
I wonder if Caitlin is sitting on 6 techs if she might be given a lil bit of grace by the officials. I mean does the league want to sit down their hottest star ...
Nevermind, forgot for a sec who we're dealing with ... but I do still think a ref might be a little intimidated to bench C² for a game.

Thought about that as well, that someone would really have to sack up to run her for a game, but given how they did her the first month, who knows. I just hope she doesn't find out.....
Noah took 2nd place in the US Amateur Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club over the weekend.
Has Caitlin established herself as the best guard in the WNBA?
The history and the numbers don't lie:
full text of tweet:
Caitlin Clark’s season stats (thru 28 games):
• 497 pts................(17.8/game)
• 232 ast.................(8.3/game)
• 161 reb...................(5.8/game)
• 78 made 3PT.......(2.8/game)
ONLY 2 players in WNBA history have had 450+ points, 200+ assists, 150+ rebounds & 75+ made 3 pointers in a SINGLE YEAR.
• Sabrina Ionescu (2022...her THIRD SEASON in the WNBA)
• Caitlin Clark........ (2024)
And Caitlin still has 12 games left.

I can't remember exactly which games she got T's in, but it seemed like she got to 4 pretty quickly and then the refs backed off. Hopefully they back off again.
I think a lot of us selfishly wanted her to come back, but otoh knew it was time for Caitlin to go forward.
Well Iowa in the post-Caitlin era is going to be just fine with all the new talent coming in, and in the meantime seeing Caitlin and Co. rolling the "grown-ass women" of the W is very entertaining, not to mention witnessing her celebrity exploding.
Right choice all the way around.
Sabrina is one hell of a player. Looking up her 2022 stats, in 36 games she had:
• 626 pts (17.4/game)
• 228 ast (6.3/game)
• 254 reb (7.1/game)
• 83 made 3PT (2.3/game)
Looks likely that by CC's 36th game, she will surpass SI's 2022 numbers in pts, assists (already has), and made 3PM. Probably won't surpass SI's rebound totals.
Reality came in about the first 12 games. Reality is now setting in for this league as to who the draw is. As they say "there's a new sheriff in town".
She did it out of frustration for her own play, not because of a call. Technicals are if a player goes outside of the rules or makes the referee look bad…neither of those happened. It was an unnecessary technical. The dude is too thin skinned and isn’t cut out for the profession.
AND it was after she'd been barking at the refs for awhile, and you have no idea what she said when she punched the pad either. There are those magic words that get you...
All I know is she had five technicals in four years in college and she was the same kind of player she is now, yet she has five technicals in one season so far in the big, bad, rough, and tough WNBA….so I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s the referees and not Caitlin.
Looking ahead, at the last twelve games on the Fever schedule, the amount of home games is looking favorable for them.
Seven of those games are at home, while the rest are on the road.
Protect home court, and there's a good possibility of entering the playoff picture. Sky is a game and a half behind them right now. The first two on the road are against Minnesota, which will be tough, and then at Washington, which is winnable.

The upcoming road games are Minnesota and Atlanta.
The Fever won at Atlanta earlier in the season, but they are now full strength and playing well.
Imagine the stories Sheryl Swoopes would have come up with if CC had played one more year of college? LOL
Minnesota will be on a back to back playing Las Vegas Friday night. Hopefully they're spent mentally/physically and the Fever run them out of the gym
As I noted above, 2022 was Sabrina's 3rd year in the WNBA.
Technically, 2020 was Sabrina's rookie season. On August 1, 2020, she injured her left ankle in her 3rd career game. She was diagnosed the next day with a grade 3 sprain, and was expected to miss about 1 month while recovering. In the end, though, she did not play the rest of the season. She actually complained about not being able to be considered a rookie in 2021, her 2nd season.
So, based on her playing in only 3 games in 2020 before being shut down, lets say 2021 was instead Sabrina's rookie year (she played in 30 of the 32 games and started in 26).
Comparing Sabrina's (2021) & Caitlin's (2024) Rookie Numbers:
..............................Caitlin....Sabrina
Points........................17.8.....11.7
Assists......................8.3.......6.1
Rebounds.................5.8......5.7
Made 3 pointers.....2.8......1.8

Over Sheryl Swoopes,' Dawn Staley's and Angel Reese's dead bodies there is! LOL
I wasn't saying rookie Caitlin wasn't better than third year Sabrina (or even second year "rookie" Sabrina, I was just noting that with the feat of 450+ points, 200+ assists, 150+ rebounds & 75+ made 3 pointers in a single season only having been done twice, Caitlin's rookie season of accomplishing that feat will likely exceed Sabrina's in three out of four of the categories. Sabrina is a hell of a player. Caitlin is on pace to be even better.
Be honest. We all know she got some leeway in college. The "star treatment". Thats not a knock on CC2 either, just what it is. She got a bunch early in the W as she's earning her rep. If anything the refs in the W have wanted to show they aren't giving her special treatment, but she's earned those T's...
