***Official WNBA Opening Night Thread***

[TJ8869]

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are set to tip off with the Connecticut (checks notes)…Sun.

 

[TJ8869]

Also worth noting - the Las Vegas Aces, with former Iowa stars Megan Gustafson and Kate Martin, will play Phoenix later tonight.

Clark 0 pts, 2 fouls, a few really good passes and a few really bad passes.

 

[TJ8869]

Clark sat for about half of the 1st quarter after picking up her second foul. The first one was a terrible call.

Her teammates don’t seem to be ready for a lot of her passes. That’s something that’s going to take time until they get used to playing with her.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Aweful officiating both ways right now. A joke.

 

[TJ8869]

Indiana is not a good team. Lots of bad passes and lots of dumb fouls.

agreed. However, there is one official that keeps making calls against Fever. I'll let you figure out which one it is.

The refs are really home cooking, oddly, because a beat down of the Fever is last thing WNBA need right now. They might get a call at half that goes “what the **** are you three doing, only team you should be helping is the Fever”

She might wear a Teddy

I would not classify 7 of a really bad team’s 39 points at half as “struggling” in a debut.

 

[millah_22]

They're called the Fever because watching their offense makes me physically ill.

It’s a bad team.

Do you think Clark's parents like Connor?

 

[lonestar50]

20 points in what feels like a bad game for Caitlin is pretty good. 9 TO is not so good
