What’re the chances of a letdown tonight? I’ll admit I’m a bit of a pessimist. A lot of good things have happened lately. It almost seems like a trap game.

The last time the Fever were in this situation, with a supposedly "easy" win at home, they had a hundred turnovers and gave up a hundred layups in a loss to the Mystics. Also, the last time the Sparks came to Indy, in a game the Fever had no business losing, the Sparks exploded in the second half, raining threes like crazy and leaving with a win. Last place teams have proven they are capable of beating anyone if they have a good night. Still, the Sparks' road record is 2-14, so the Fever, again, have no f'ing business even allowing this game to be close.

I typically don’t like to argue with science.

I’m IN.

 

[MplsHawk]

Temi is listed as OUT again for this game. She can't stay healthy. Yikes.

This seems like a trap game. Two emotional victories over Chicago and Dallas. Minnesota on deck...If the Fever have turned the corner, they should be able to take care of business handily at home.

 

[Franisdaman]

Lexi with the D and the layup the other way

 

[2D_]

CC3!

 

[denmar81]

WNBA officials don’t know what the over and back rule is.

 

[Franisdaman]

CC for 33333333333333333333

 

[denmar81]

And a missed layup by CC

 

[Chuck C]

Clark looks kind of out of it.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

This really does have major trap-game vibes. The team is riding high, being praised from all over. Honors are flowing in for Clark and Sides. It would be very easy for the team to lose its focus. They aren't bad so far, but they have come out a little sloppy.

 

[Franisdaman]

it is im- @Moral how bad officiating is.

 

[Chuck C]

3 TO’s for CC already. Fever with 7

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Oof... 7 turnovers already for the Fever.

 

[JimStarr777]

How many TOs does Clark already have!?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Come on. Settle down.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Way too many Fever turnovers

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Fortunately, for the Fever, the Sparks are shooting in the paint like Angel Reese.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Foul? Just play on. Refs?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice shot CC

 

[hawkeye_wx]

The Fever are shooting decently, but damn, turning the ball over every other time down the court is killing them.

 

[Hawksfor3]

How many TOs does Clark already have!?

3.

 

[Franisdaman]

TRIPLE DOUBLE ALERT:

YOUR Indiana Fever lead after one quarter, 23-19.

...................................
3-6 (50%) Overall shooting

[Bro D]

Sloppy 1st quarter

 

[Hawksfor3]

it is im- @Moral how bad officiating is.

Wake up Rip Van Moral plz.

 

[wondergrape]

She has been starting slowly the past three or so games. I expect her to put up 10 or so in the second quarter.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Well, at least we are winning but we have to wake up and play smarter.

 

[HawkMachine]

Playing like it was going to be an easy win.

Careless. Sloppy. Uninspired.

Awful performance against an AWFUL team.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Clark using her body well on drives, instead of the off hand.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice
