***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***

Absolutely. That was definitely a cheap shot that should’ve been a flagrant at least, if not a "T".

But if you've watched CC for awhile you can't deny she plays it up when she feels contact.

True but I would say this one was “90/10”

Did you see the look on carters face? She was gonna be knocking someone down.
 
Seriously...watch Kate Martin move without the ball. She is BRILLIANT at it. Constantly repositioning or taking advantage of her defender taking her eyes off of her. I honestly can't even remember the last time I saw CC score a fast break layup after taking a feed from a teammate.. It's just something she needs to learn to do.
The difference is, CC is constantly face guarded. Her defender is never playing help defense. They are very physical with her when she tries to cut. Love Kate, but it’s much easier to get open when you aren’t the center of attention the entire game.
 
I missed most of the game, I usually sleep until noon on the weekends. Started watching at the beginning of the 4th. Fever clearly the better team, they just had some stupid fouls to keep the Sky in the game.

Regardless, this was a much needed win today. Especially against this team with Reece. CC never would've heard the end of it. Can't forget about that classless shot CC took from Carter, who in post game interviews, refused to talk about it. Of course that makes her a total coward.

Caitlin would've got a double double if it weren't for two of her teammates whiffing literal uncontested lay-ups.

She's a coward on and off the court.

Someone off camera said "That's enough". Coward indeed. I'd lean more toward piece of shit, but that's just my opinion.

According to the Fever beat writer:

Chennedy Carter, given a chance to explain herself postgame, said "next question."

Then later, "I ain't answering no Caitlin Clark questions."

Chicago Head Coach Teresa Weatherspoon then stepped in: "That's enough. We're good."
 
Caitlin literally has no idea what to do in transition when the ball isn’t in her hands. She refuses to run the floor. One time she jumped up and down waving her hands instead of getting ahead of the ball. Another time she stood, getting in Mitchell’s way, instead of going to the corner which would have created space for Mitchell or gotten an open look for herself in the corner. Those are things Kate Martin excels at.
Wow. Never thought I'd see the day a hawkeye fan is more bb savvy than cc. Crowning you narcissist of the day.

I wonder if CC still has soccer skills. I think it would be funny for the WNBA she left the league and joined the NWSL

Maybe she doesn't get those layups because she is the one getting the first pass and is the one making the fastbreak pass to her teammates. It's hard to get fastbreak layups when you are the primary ballhandler. As a 20 year coach I would think you would know that, but obviously not!
 
So, trying to understand…my feeling is these girls have soldiered away in anonymity for literally decades then some college superstar shows up and shines the light on them. We look at it and say they should be thankful.

But in reality, it would be hard not to be a little jealous, so I really am trying to show empathy for them.

Their goal was to make her an ineffective, they wanted to show that there are a lot of basketball players in the WNBA just as good and better than she is.

But in reality, she’s just too talented & too versatile. Yes her shot is very off right now, but even in that she is demonstratively impacting the game.

They’re jealousy and I prefer to call it that than racism… Yes, both things could be true but it ultimately comes down to jealousy. We have an affinity to “name things “in our society. What just happened has to be “called something “but in reality it comes down to pride and jealousy.

With that said, the WNBA has to do something. Because right now what the world is seeing is a lot of dumb ass pettiness..

Now I have to add, what we are seeing right now is absolutely unprecedented. I’ve Said it before, but Im 53 years old & 40+ being a sports fanatic. I have never seen a rookie come into any league and fade as much animosity and as much physicality as she is facing. Yet she is succeeding at a very high level.

It really is a bizarre soap opera unfolding in real time!

Those that have been soldiering for decades should be jealous of the spotlight given to Reese, Cardozo, Brink as well. Also consider that many that are giving CC the new girl business are new girls themselves. Chennedy Carter is only 25.
