The most fans the Fever had in attendance for a regular season game last year was 7,356 fans. They averaged 4,066 per home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Believe it or not, Clark and the Fever almost doubled the attendance high from the regular season last year... in a preseason game. They had 13,028 people show up on Thursday night to catch Clark take on the Atlanta Dream... I Saw this from a news feed
Not sure they all showed up though. It seemed like a lot of empty seats. Step it up, indiana!
@@madcow8114lol but true they said the same in Dallas when they said it was sell out but thise that went said otherwise
Jordan used to do that for the Bulls. Reese is doing that for Chicago now. Clark didn't do anything. The commentators are speaking here name. It's for promotional purposes. Caitlin Clark is not Jordan or Kobe Bryant. She's not Lisa Leslie or Sheryl Swoops. She is doing her job as a guard on a Pro team that's all.
@RW-gx6ml the same.as those 18 yr old that came out of high-schools wasn't kobe 17 yrs old playing against grown men ain't she 22
@RW-gx6ml compare her to other women imo she was worst than her teammates, who started
Never thought I'd be checking the highlights of a WNBA game, let alone a preseason one! Shout out to Caitlin Clark and the Fever though 🫡💯! It's good to see the women finally get some love..
Yep. And now I’m digging this Samuelson chic! She balling too
Caitlin's court vision and passing is impressive.
Great game Caitlin proved she can impact the game when her shots are not falling. She got open shots they just didn't fall. You could see how Caitlin being on the floor just makes the offense run so smoothly. She gets her teammates so many open shots. She had six assist but easily could have had 10+ but there was a lot of missed open layups and shoots. There was still some turnovers from miscommunication but that will get better with chemistry. I was surprised on how many double and at times triple teams Atlanta sent at Caitlin but that just shows how good of a offensive threat she is. Add on to it her 8 boards and a couple of defensive posesion and she had an all around great game. Nalyssa was a beast to on both ends of the floor and I was glad to see aliyah getting her confidence back. Celeste Taylor also showed why she can be a great asset cause of her ability to shot the three and her hustle and defense.
😂
Caitlin is the best. Atlanta had 4 guards on her lol
What an awesome game. I can finally see what our starting 5 will be along with our 2nd unit rotation.
Atlanta played with a 3 guard that was countered with our standard line up. So glad we signed Katie Lou as she provides with the perfect wing defender and shooter. Temi will provide minutes spelling AB and Nalyssa. Berger and Celeste chipping in when heeded. It will be a crying shame on who gets cut but I hope we can hold on to them in case of injury. Hopefully the WNBA league will expand to a 15 man roster to help with injuries.
The whole team gelled together really well. They are all amazing.
I like Samuelson
💯🔥
Not the Indian Fever starting five. Wheeler and Kelsey out. Kelsey average 17 points last season, so that is a big chunk of offense Indiana fans hasnt seen play with clark yet.
@@Michael-of6zf Sometimes these comments that are replied back are downright stupid that try to act smart. Dude, nobody said that the starting 5 this game here was gonna be the starting 5 for the season. This starting 5 is different from last game. We (Fever) are still trying alot of different things with different lineups and rotations. Especially with players getting rest and being injured.
Last game Katie Lou did not play and this game she played predominantly. Last game Erica Wheeler played while this game she was ill. Last game, I said CC was gassed but this game she played the most minutes. Even if she played with the second rotation, Berger was praised by Christie Sides for settling down the offense.
This game Christie Sides also called out the players for allowing Atlanta for scoring 45 points but the players responded by only allowing 35 for rest of the 3 quarters. Christie also called out the forwards for not running with CC to get the quick layups and points in the paint but that changed with Nalyssa getting fast break points and AB being more dominant to get inside.
Ergo, there are still a lot of things that needs to be fixed. Nothing is set yet. However, we can see trends. Coach Christie also said that the 10th, 11th, and 12th players are just as important as the starting 5 in case of injuries their number will be called upon.
As I said, it will be difficult for the Fever to make the cuts as they all are gelling so well. I can also see why the Fever drafted 3 guards as there may be significant injury time that needs to be covered along the season and during the playoffs.
I am just very excited for the Fever team and how they develop. Hopefully, the WNBA will see this trend to expand team rosters up to 15 and increase the team cap space. If you look at the Aces, Nika Muhl won't make the team only due to cap space reasons.
Smith, Samuelson and Wheeler are Clarks new receiver Marshall, Martin and Staulke. GO FEVER!
They look much crisper and like their early practices. They're not playing as fast as the Aces often do, but they still look very good.
Loved The Game tonight, everyone looked abit Improved. 🔥Nalyssa was on Fire tonight! Defense wasnt too bad, I thought Grace did a great Job on Defense tonight. Aliyah and Caitlin and others had a decent night as well. I thought Aliyah really stepped Up more tonight than previous game. The Refs calls were abit off, I thought there were some calls that should’ve gone our way, including a few questionable calls against Us. One Observation and Not a criticism because I love my Fever, but Honestly I thought there was Far too much ‘Rush-Shooting in the game before everyone was even set up in position tonight. Grace and Lexi especially did this. I do realize it’s only preseason and everybody wants to score to get the crowd into it, but we have to let everyone get Set before Taking those quick Transition Shots, Because it will also be an advantage for any of our own rebounds we might get on our own shots as well, having everyone set up, is an Area to work on for Us, Because once the season starts, the other teams will be ready and so must We. I Love My Fever! Go Fever
Stop it with the dumb comparisons
@@mikailbumpus692what are transition shots?? Those are fast break shots correct?? So if ur in transition coming down the court if stop and wait for ur teammates to set then ur giving the defenders a chance to set also correct?? Sho how in the hell does a transition basket work if u don't hurry up and get the ball up Court taking advantage of the other teams defense not getting a chance to set up . Thats the purpose of ur teammates running the floor duh.
Steulke would gotten all the outlet passes from Clark and provide her with a plethora of screens. Miss Hannah Steulke with CC22
Berger had a huge impact in this game, she’s underrated and combined with Clark is dangerous!
100 percent. We love Caitlin Clark! Great role model.
Had to move the game up one day from Friday to Thursday because of the Pacers and the NBA playoffs and still put over 13,000 people in the seats for a preseason game.
Haven’t really followed American Basketball much in a couple of decades. My team London Lions (men and women) and Olympics 3x3 peaked my interest whenever on. Caitlin Clark made global headlines and like many around the world got me fully hooked like Jordan did with the Bulls way back when. She is an absolutely phenomenal player.
Atlanta played them tough. I thought it was going to be a blowout at first but Indiana persevered and came back.
Same. Impressive considering Atalanta was a playoff team
Of course we don't expect dunks and quick-paced moves for a shot, but play their hearts these women do and make shots they do.
Congrats to Caitlin and The Fever!!!
So happy Gabbie Marshall was there supporting CC and The Fever. Much love.
Just like middle school boys basketball ol I forgot they can dunk
As Caitlin learns where to make passes, teams will find it hard to stop Indiana's scoring
Celeste Taylor Also Played Awesome Tonight !!!
DT: Reality is coming
CC: Hold my Beer
The didn't win because of her. She shot something like 4 for 12 and had six turnovers. Get real. Not hating, just observing. Her teammates won the game.
@@garyk2629 in words of Nalyssa Smith to CC : You are effecting the game, they are tripple teaming you which sets us free to shoots
@@user-dj3hy5nt8n It's like a slight of hand. Everyone looking at her to be the top scorer, triple teaming her. Meanwhile she's dishing out assists, finding her teammates, so they get in there, and score.
@@garyk2629 definitely hating. shot poorly, so did kyrie last night. Averaging 1 more turnover than she did in college with no seat time with the group, she had 6 yes. Joker had like 9 and 8 in games 1 and 2 for comparison. Can't make every pass and every shot every single game. Her team won, she was the team leader in rebounding at 6', something she's not known for and was the lead facilitator. Doubt you'll comment when she shoots 70% and has 40, keep hatin boomer.
Lemme preface, I enjoy watching Clark play. With that said she is a hack on the court. Slapping away defenders hands that are reaching for the ball, elbowing defenders, and the refs are just like 'This is fine'.
Phenomenal game play tonight! Really missed Wheeler but wow 🤯 you are coming together great now! Great seeing Boston back! Amazing! 🤩
Celeste Taylor's defense got the team rolling when she was in. Smith is a Dawg.
FANTASTIC GAME!!!❤❤❤❤❤
*Caitlin played Defense.* That was a win worthy of the price of admission. E Dub gon need a new squad bc I don't ever see CC going back to playing off 🏀
I haven't actually cared about watching a basketball team/player since '90s Bulls but i actually look forward to her televised games...in Cincinnati hoping to make the trip to Indy to see her play....shes exciting 😂 😀 😂 🏀🏀🏀
Every time Clark gets the ball my heart jumps! She is the GOAT
CC got game!
I think we are all here bc of cc
Nah, I was just bored and saw a basketball video. Yawn.
Its called hype
@@oneone3983You’re just here to make comments that only you think are funny.
@@markhathaway9456 Nah, if CC wasn't playing, you wouldn't have checked in to "see a basketball game".
Great game. Well balanced to keep the team involved.
Such a good game! Well done 🎉
Lets go Fever!
Love it fever"🌹🌷👍
Looking good Fever!!! All y’all!! ❤
Fever!🔥🔥🔥🔥Let's Go!💯💪🏾👍🏾👌🏾🇻🇮
Cuts just been made. Ugh. 😮
Maya Caldwell and Lailani Correa. Just one more to go. Let's hope we get to more of them in the future.
This was an ok game. I feel all of the rookies coming from the nacc league gave the wnba a boost.Ive been following all of the pre season games
But being from Los Angeles the Sparks are my favorite they are 2 and 0
At this point no easy game for fever man it's just preseason, imagine what's gonna happen in the regular every team will won to kick Caitlin s ass man 😂but we CC22 will be more aggressive surrounds by good players go fever 💪💪
👏🏾🏀💫🔥💙❤️💛
Celeste Taylor was the MVP. Can't always try to play pretty 🏀 which is almost alliteration bc Celeste is so beautiful. But have to grab it from the dirt. Can't be so nice.
Oh no!!!! Taylor made bad mistakes! She is not in the media interviews! Stop it! Smith carried high score and played phenomenal! Don’t leave out those veteran greats! Smith and wheeler!!!
@Juke582 "bad mistakes" as in aggression on a super passive team??? Rooks making mistakes is not a problem like U think. But being the most purposeful aggressive player on the court as a rook??? Can't teach that.
45 points for Atlanta first quarter, held to 35 points for the rest of the game.
Nice win fevers.
Wowwwwww
It was Atlanta vs. Indy (not Indy vs. Atlanta) as the game was at Indy.
So, college bball players are quicker in transition and fly charter. Hope Indiana drafts Hannah Stuelke. She is big and fast, and she scored 47 pts in a game for Iowa when Caitlin fed her the ball inside the paint. When Fever teammates learn to catch and convert passes from Caitlin, she would have less turnovers and more assists.
"Hard work" is not how to win WBB. High IQ, big floor and skill is the new WBB.
...and Clark possesses both: IQ and skills; plus HARDWORK!
If they can feed CC that would be perfect but now CC feed them all, till here they can't afford CC
Go Caitlin
CC dont change your basketball gut feelings .it got you this far...take the three if it feels right ...Christie needs to back off a bit and trust you more!!!!!
12 points what a highlight
Atlanta had to learn: All dreams die.
Clark didn't even play well lol 30 min 12 points with 6 turnovers shooting what 32% they were loosing this game until the 4th Q and ALT wasn't ever playing their starters .

@@denisebailey3226 cry about it
@denisebailey3226 😆 🤣 😂 😹 I know right
@@denisebailey3226 You Forgot To Add, She Led The Team In Rebounds and 2nd In Assists.
I read that the WNBA season begins on May 19th (I think). If I am correct, why do you give a $hit what happens before then?
People want to see what the rookies can do, Before they either get cut or make the teams.
@@SaturnFrost Pre-season is pre-season. If you think what happens in the pre-season, remember this: one year the Lions went undefeated in the pre-season, they went 0-16 in the regular season.
Did you see that Kobe turn around jumper that he copied from Michael Jordan ...
Dont do that dont..
When you build up someone's reputation to be better than they are this is what you get! No longer playing college ball. WNBA is a entire different animal as CC seen tonight.
Yup, the excitement won't last too,. too long. Like Colorado State football.
Other than the fact that she had a damn near triple double you are correct. The three ball just was not falling tonight, but her floor game was superb. In fact she could’ve easily had double digit assists if baskets were finished at the rim.
Hater alert! Hater alert! 😂
@@meb6869 Not hating though. I enjoyed watching her. It will wear off like everything else.
@@williamboyle8918Colorado was must see all season mission accomplished.
Caitlin Clark > Angel Reese ✊🏻
without a doubt
Reality is going to hit catkin Clark
The "reality" is that CC is the straw that stirs the drink. She's only going to get better.
Why don't the coaches complain to the refs about those dam push offs by Clark dawn almost got a tech by complaining
Hands is not extended…you can use your hands,elbow and body as a shield, just can’t extend them.
No flops allowed in the WNBA
You mean like the push off MJ used ot win a Finals vs the jazz ??? Like THAT ?
lol !!! You can’t stop watching !!!…hilarious !!!
Fear of getting a technical. Wnba refs are tyrants and you can only question their judgement through challenging plays. Clark elbowed a defender in the away Dallas game too, knocked the girl down, and the crowd boo'd her.
Then, Smith knocked Parker down doing her crossover move, with her body, refs were silent. Refs were calling defensive fouls all night on the Dream, often silent for the Fever.
Anyway, Clarks been hacking her whole career with the elbow checking. She's allowed to do it apparently.
The entire WNBA should love CC. Because their entire sport just got a HUGE shot in the arm. I mean honestly..how many people in these comments(me included) never typed wnba in a search engine til now?? Exactly. Nuff said
Boston, slow and fat😢
Clark didn't even play well lol 30 min 12 points with 6 turnovers shooting what 32% they were loosing this game until the 4th Q and ALT wasn't ever playing their starters .

Always a bittered black woman. She barely got pick and rolls and good screens. Players doubled her and she played well. In case you lacked sight. Are passing and control of the tempo of the game was good… always a bittered black woman. When y’all stop been bittered and jealous and appreciate a good game. She made up for those turnovers with excellent sight passes on the court… 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒 swooopes the second
Whatever help you sleep tonight is fine by me.
Facts
You are here again 🤡
Meanwhile, Indiana tightened the game.
