Can we all please agree that Wallace should only see the floor during garbage time? Hull is so much better on defense, and Samuelson can actually shoot the ball.

Interesting that @ZachJump hasn't commented on a nice fever win and nice game by CC but loves to tell us hawkeye fans how awful we were while standing up for his boyfriend Dan taurasi. Tool
Glad to see CC have a great game. You know she wanted to come out and play well after the drama of last game against the Sky.
This was exactly the game the Fever needed. They got a home game against a beatable opponent and they played well down the stretch to get a big victory. This moves them into 8th place. Despite the flaws, the Fever are very competitive when they aren't playing the top teams. The opening schedule was brutal, but they get to breathe now and it's showing.
Clark needs more games just like this. She didn't shoot a ton, but she was efficient... 3-7 from three, 4-4 from two, and 6-6 from the line. She had 5 TOs, but that's down a bit from the last few games and only a couple of the TOs felt like poor decisions. She also made a lot of good passes and had 9 assists.

Far from a perfect game that was by far the best Indiana has looked all season. They actually looked like a team most of the time today rather than a bunch of people thrown on the same floor for a rec game.
DT and Zach are gonna have thoughts on that.....
Unlike the Atlanta game, I saw things to build on today. 1. The second half rebounding was excellent. 2. Sitting Wallace and increasing Hull and Katie Lou's minutes is a step in the right direction. 3. Caitlin did not get the cold shoulder from her teammates - they leaned on her today and she did not disappoint. 4. AB & Smith continue to look more badass each game.
Signs of life.

The Fever have won 4 of their last 6 games. Next, they get the last place Mystics at home on Wednesday for a chance to get to 6-10.
Agreed.. now they just need Wallace (and wheeler) to get even less minutes. Don't understand why Berger never plays
How does Wallace play? She is bad. Either sides is bad (yes) or she has some reason to play sides that isn’t bball relsted.
Still a good assist to turnover ratio and a couple of these were great passes that her teammates fumbled.
She followed Sides from Atlanta so she's her girl. So ridiculous she gets so many minutes. I'd also like to see Celeste Taylor get some minutes too because she's a helluve defender
That was the most comfortable I've seen Clark look since she's been in the league.
Was happy to see her joking around with Mitchell. Really hope those two can figure out how to play with one another
She's played like 20 min all year so I'm reserving judgment. Still would rather see her get a consistent opportunity instead of watching Wallace play another minute
The Fever are 5-1 against teams that aren't NY, Connecticut, Seattle and Las Vegas. They definitely aren't world beaters but I don't think they are as bad as they looked during that early stretch. I thought they did a nice job today of getting Boston back-to-the-basket post touches which is where she is at her best. They did a nice job of balancing things out overall. It never seemed like one player was having to shoulder the entire offense today - their top four players all made plays on offense. Clark was really good in all phases today. I feel like when her shot is going down, she has a lot more positive energy and it improves all the other aspects of her game and rubs off on her teammates. She needs to have that energy even in games when the shot isn't falling.
I will also add, since I’ve been a pretty vocal critic and want to give credit where credit is due, that this was by far the best and most balanced officiated game I’ve seen thus far. Whoever this crew is, clone them.
Angel Reese is now 0-3 against CC since taunting her in the national title game. 4/13 today, all shots within five feet, for the most overrated player in the history of the sport.
She can board, that's about it. CC averaging more blocks per game than Reese, lol.
CC haters getting cooked today. Happy Sunday and father's day everyone!
It's starkly apparent that CC has a gigantic media team (Nike/Gatorade/etc) advising her and the rest of the WNBA has nobody. "Let those idiots bury themselves, we have bigger plans for you anyway."
Caitlin has always stayed above the fray, starting in high school. She is really handling all the pressure like a pro. Did you catch A’ja Wilson break into tears during yesterday’s post game press conference? The pressure of being a star and being critiqued every moment is tough.
Literally one of my least favorite athletes of all time. I'm not going to watch that clip again. I saw you hit her in the head and not close to the ball. Not a flag 2, flag 1 easy. Stop being a victim all the time and go back to your sick Rebook shoes... Never seen a player who wants to be a villain cry as much about EVERYTHING.
Every time she opens her mouth, she proves how stupid and petty she is.
Just watched the game and I think the Fever played better. Still tons to work on, but it was good to see them fight at the end to seal it. I can't stand the Sky, but I will say that IMO, Cardoso doesn't fit with the thug style that her teammates play. After watching some of the other teams the Fever have played, I think Cardoso is actually quite likeable.
Pretty impressive they survived that first ten games and are now sitting at the 8 seed. Just keep beating the teams below them and they might make the playoffs. Probably get blown out by the 1 seed but still getting there would be something. And they should only have a couple more games with Conn and NY combined after losing to them six times already.
While they will play more good teams, the Fever only have two more games against the Liberty or Sun the rest of the season, both at home.
CC killing with kindness drives them nuts. Gotta love it
"Y'all are going to play that clip 20 times before Monday."
Which is exactly what you're hoping for, and the only reason you're semi-relevant.
