I like how clark just pulled up for three in front of griner to start the game
Set the tone for the first 3 quarters. 14 points in the last was not great... no CC? Did she get injured?
CC's game is explosive. Her whole team is starting to be effective. The girls did a great job this evening.
watching this game gave me so much joy as a basketball fan
Indy is finally starting to click
Fever was cooking the Mercury first half. Its clear that the fast pace, run and gun is The Answer
Yeah CC was def creating that speed in the 1st half. Boston and Mitchel really help starting that attack
They remind me of the warriors old pace when they were young didn't they set a record it too if I'm not mistaken
The spin and velocity on Clark's passes are impressively 🤌
I love how fast cc brings the ball up. Constant pressure right out the inbound. Mercury left scrambling everytime.
Respect to the Mercury with 4/5's of their starters injured. Clark was terrific. Cooper was terrific.
Most of the WNBA players look average compared to what CC is doing. Does it really matter who starts for the Mercury?
Maybe. Phoenix were without Sutton, Osborne, Cloud and Taurasi. Plus Cleste Taylor was signed six hours before tip. Cooper and Clark showed out last night.
You can't name 3 Phoenix playaers and you're out here talking nonsense.
Biased racist
That was beautiful basketball, they are cooking right now. The chemistry is insane
CC has elite level court vision! Love it.
OMG that first quarter was insane
@@jto-eg7qwshe had the ball in her hands. The coach then put the ball in wheelers hand, and it becomes a disaster
Mitchell is lighting quick, Clark and Boston are a budding legit star studded duo
@@AndrewHoweywtwp thanks for giving credit to the other players. You’d think from reading the comments, Caitlin played the Mercury all by herself.
@@the518equalizer3 nobody said that. My point is that with this single-minded obsession with Clark, you’d think that by reading the comments, Caitlin beat the Mercury all by herself.
Never thought I’d ever care to watch anything related to the wnba, Caitlin Clark really the goat fr
That’s sad lmao you have no clue how much you’ve missed by being so ignorant to the sport.
@@hahahafrank We didn't like to watch women acting and talking like thugs playing thug ball.
Indiana Fever is poetry in motion. I love Clark, she reminds me of Steve nash, but the rest of the team is really good too; they are always ready to get the assist. This is the teamwork doesnt exist in the NBA anymore, since the big three spurs
I actually saw the three great super stars, Magic, Jordan and Bird. Carter is in the same league.
Her line stat the other day was the best ever in basketball history, NBA and WNBA leagues.
In The Light, A Tighe
What a win for fever. Clark breaking records. Boston, Mitchell and Smith all shining. 💪 🏀
I feel like CC brought me to watch the WNBA more, and now I’m realizing there is so much talent in this league!
As good of a shooter as Caitlin is, her passing is her best skill. Absolute dimes.
Forget ROTY, CC should be considered for MVP. Is there another player more important to their team, especially if she takes a LAST PLACE team to the playoffs her rookie year?
I agree with you that taking a last place team to the playoffs is a significant accomplishment, and that she's definitely one of the most important players to her team in the league, but nobody is taking the MVP from A'ja Wilson this year; she's a runaway for that award - averaging 27 pts, 11.6 RB, 2 steals and nearly 3 blocks a game, on 52% FG. Unstoppable! And her last 4 games are much better than those averages, so it's only going up from there. But I agree with you that CC is coming on strong and will be a contender for the MVP next year (along with a few other players). It's massive upside for CC in the coming years.
With so many players from Mercury out and the fast start from Indiana, was really hoping this would be a comfortable win. Glad they won, but need to keep pushing until the game is truly out of reach. It’s happened several times now.
Copper was quietly on fire.
Swear I never watched so many wnba games in one year
Those are the passes of 10 year veteran, caitlin is destined to be the greatest
She imagines, invisions and makes the impossible pass possible. Very few guards in history can see and make the pass. Fever is going to be Champions when they gel as a team.
In The Light, A Tighe
The fever definitely played a lot better than their last game if they could keep up playing like this they will be difficult to beat ! What good teamwork !
I think they underestimated the mystics because of their record. Lesson learned hopefully
CC’s assist game is a thing of magic.
Ironic that you said magic. Because it reminds me of how good Magic Johnson was at dimes.
Great performance. Love Clark's passing
Erica Wheeler has one job, to keep Caitlin from scoring any points.
Watching Mitchell run all over the court with the ball with no intention of ever passing is bizarre.
She passes, but her best strength is shooting. When she goes on a heat check, the whole arena feels it.
hahaha.. Kelsey "Never swing the rock" Mitchell, reminds me of MPJ of Denver Nuggets.. She's a deadly shooter though..
Yeah other teams should just double team her cause she won't be passing.
the quality of cc assists is just insane! this girl is amazing!
Clark is so exciting to watch, they're going to have to find something else to talk about for the rest of the season because the rookie of the year race is over.
Reese just stumbles and fumbles in the paint for points. CC is making exciting plays happen. Plus she's putting butts in the seats, so it'd be hard to deny her as of now.
CC made me a WNBA fan and never watched a woman's basketball game before. She should be on the Olympic team for sure
Glad they won, BUT you can't blow a 31 POINT LEAD to a team which was playing without its two stars, Taurasi and Greiner. That was just sloppy and they were lucky to get away with the win. Great game for CC, though.
Sloppy coaching. When they're winning with a 31 point lead the coach needs to leave them alone and let them play instead of putting Wheeler in, who never seems to pass to CC when she's wide open and almost losing this game. It's ridiculous. There should be a coaching change in the near future.😑
three stars cloud, DT and griner are stars...and truthfully go look at the box scores from this week and you see why it was so important that cloud especially played
I am not even a basketball fan. I literally never watched basketball in my entire life and Caitlin is the reason I started watching basketball. It’s insane how that girl plays. Very very entertaining to watch
Wow if thats not a rookie of the year i don't know what is. Granting Mercury is so bad in this game.
I don't know why this is even a conversation. No shade on Reese but she doesn't run an offense.
Sides did her best to piss away another one in the 4th quarter...
Mitchel, Boston, CC playing unselfish ball !! keep this trio together fever
Indy was moving the ball like the 86 Celtics for a stint. Up tempo is definitely their thing.
Mercury might have been under manned but good to see the Fever play hitting all cylinders. When their top 4 players all hit double figures in points, they are very formidable. The balance makes them hard to defend and shows the improvement from the beginning of the season. Still not a great defensive team but steadily finding their identity.
Those touchdown passes by CC are beautiful to watch.
@@ShredPhred thanks for a sensible reply. You are correct in your assessment.
This was stark difference to the previous game vs the mystics where AB had foul trouble and resistence from an equally sized player and KM had an off night shooting late in the game. Fever have their weaknesses but when the figure out how to win when not everyone is on target, the can be hard to beat. But make no mistake, they are not yet a good/great team or serious playoff contender yet. Hopefully in the near future.
Being one of the youngest teams in the WNBA they need this to elevate their game and gel as a team. When Catlin has the ball every teammate needs to be ready for a pass and easy bucket!!
In The Light, A Tighe
I want to dispute the notion that it's CC vs the rest of her teammates. That's more racist pandering. So many critics try to say that it's not all one player(it's not) and want to discount the effect of good play making. For sure if the Fever don't score, it makes everyone look bad. But when they do? Other than the one in one plays, it looks like poetry in motion. The question is, does anyone think that they are a better offense when KM is over dribbling around the court and then chucking up a long 3 which sometimes goes in? Or AB or NS receives the ball 15-17 feet away and has to back her defender down into the paint with 5-10 dribbles? Or the motion offense that CC brings?
continues to shine Clark
This team is playing very nice bball cc passes are on fire
I swear Clark knows where the defenders are going before they know. So fun to watch.
They let off the gas at the end which happens. Don’t want to make that a habit but wow…the defense looks a little better than a few weeks ago and the offense actually looks connected for the Fever. The game has slowed down for CC and she seems more poised, and Boston is playing well. They seem to have their timing down in lock n roll. There’s a lot to work with going forward
No.... Sides put Wheeler as PG in second half to dim Caitlin Clark. She ALWAYS does this and then attacks CC and the team at the pressers
@@marcdaddy33 what? Do you know this for a fact? No, of course you don’t. Seriously, bro, stop with the cult-like nonsense. Got proof? Show me!
@@marcdaddy33 😂😂😂😂just maybe she needed a rest players do get tired
@@bfe954 offense always been good… defense is what the issue is…they did let off gas but the players did that plus it’s some issues with defense that the mercury catch up
CC is the total package! When I watch her play I see Magic, Jordan and Bird. As like Bird she keep getting layups because Phx left the door open to her.
I see she enjoys more assisting a teammate with a basket for two reasons. One it elevates her teammates, family and community. I also see how happy she went it humiliates the opposing defending player. She truly enjoys being doubled teams and making the defense pay for their mistake. If she not guards and doubled team she'll burn the with threes.
In The Light, A Tighe
Fever almost lost this game in the 4th quater,they were leading with 31 points at a time.They are coached by a bad coach.Theu should fire her asap.
Watching highlights for one person. CC!!!!
Cc and Boston potential duo like Shaq and Kobe if the fever builds around both
"Shag and Kobe" Funny how the WNBA were like Men before CC; Now, It's Shaq and Kobe? Ludacris ha ha ha...
Indiana Fever is fun to watch. I've never in my life thought I'd be a fan of the WNBA, but the Caitlin & Boston crew turned me into a big fan.
When I started watching the Fever I was all for CC but now Mitchell and Boston are my dawgs.
Transition defense in the WNBA is atrocious. I wouldn’t say Clark is fast but she plays at a pace that allows her vision to get a ton of easy buckets.
Too many right-handed layups. I think they know better and it makes me wonder.
I'd say CC is fast. Did you notice the times she just drove to basket how fast she was moving along.
Mercury is missing three starters and 5 injured players. With one signed yesterday to play the game. They play Mercury bench with 1 starter in the game. Everyone looks good against back up players.
Way to bounce back Fever! Caitlin looks a lot more confident and poised on the floor compared to the start of the season. Wait until she reaches her final form in the next couple of years :O. Letting them make it close like that at the end is a tip of the cap to Phoenix, the final score didn't tell the story of how dominant Indiana looked in this one.
When the Fever plays together as a "Team" they're unstoppable. When they finally mature as a complete team with a bench, watch out. ❤
Dude....People called me a hater at the beginning of the season but I was just telling the truth....
Fever look good now...
They pass the ball like crazy
fever playing perfect basketball except in the 4th.. finish stonger in next games pls. lets go fever.
Fever is such a fun team to watch when they're clicking
Rest of the fever schedule going forward is brutal. Be interesting to see if they can put up these numbers against Minnesota, Connecticut, Vegas and the liberty again.
Wheeler was the problem.
Clark got that deep range unlimited range & her player making wit pases score different angle on the basketball 🏀 is crazy amazing to see
Fever kick some a%^ with this one. Well done.
They would have won by 30 if it weren't for bone headed coach Sides. She needs to go!!!
Angel Reese is Rookie of the year!!!!!!
Mitchell and Boston be cooking 🔥🔥🔥
Ya'll done messed around and created a Monster in CC. She is Legit af!
Mitchel and Clark working well together! Mitchel gets open and Clark found her ofter. plus Mitchel is dangerous as well behind the arc.
Watch WNBA in Australia because of Bill Burr and Caitlan Clarke!!
Miss Copper really lifted up their team and even lessen the score lead by CC and her team mates. Salute to Copper. Brave and strong. Worth the appreciation
Always interesting to watch fever plays...... fast break, beautiful assist
How is she not in the Olympic Team is just beyond me. As a foreigner who has been a basketball fan I´m just amazed on how good, how exciting, how different is CC . Shes just in another level. In 40 years watching and playing ball, this is the first time I have been tracking WNBA and I´m glad CC made me do it. She´s truly in the way to become one of the best if not the best WNBA player or all time. She reminds me a lot of Steve Nash gamestyle (but kinda better in a different way) or Steph.
Kudos.
Yeah the game slowed down for Caitlin compared to start of the year. And her team are starting to learn each other and have bought into Caitlin’s faster pace. I think they about to go on a run.
6ft tall, fast as a bullet,powerful dynamite. This is Caitlin Clark. Already showing how great she is.
BG’s lumbering around the court understates her importance to her team. Boston had a field day once Griner was gone from the game.
CC changed WNBA forever and made me click the ring
No she didn’t only the newbie’s believe that because the media been forcing that narrative do ur homework on the league from the beginning and will players been doing the thing only difference is more people are finally taking notice
@jerromegolden bull shiit. The league is an awful product. Newbies are true hoop fans, they like CC cause she brings a higher skill level that is exciting to watch. A'ja looks like a man not exciting, that's just the NBA
There’s been huge improvements in Clarke and in this Fever team since the start of the year. My goodness they are clicking
True!! They would be even better if they got rid of Wheeler and got a new Coach that could effectively manage CC's skills.
I don't think they were ready or used to CC's kind of vision for the first little while, but once they got it together and were looking for the passes they have been so much better. Now they know everybody's gonna double Clark, and someone will be open, be looking :)
never ever i have atched WNBA highlights before.
greetings from Mexico.
MAN, Clark range seem to have gotten further. She way above WNBA 3 line. She a beast, no doubt.
Diana turossi what you gotta say now? Caitlen should take your spot on the olympic squad.
Taurasi's comments about CC were harsh but correct. When she said "reality is coming" she was telling the truth. It takes a lot of adjusting when a player moves up from college to pro. It's not going to work exactly like it did in college. Pro basketball is more physical and more exhausting, especially with the rigorous 40 game schedule they have. You could tell early on CC was exhausted in some of the early games and interviews. I'm a huge CC fan been watching her play since Iowa, but I can't deny Taurasi's assessment of everything was pretty spot on. I also admire the fact that she treated CC like a fellow WNBA player in the 1st Fever/Mercury game a while back. Talking and Joking with her. I felt the same as you early on, but I think Taurasi was just giving an honest opinion of what was coming and CC has adapted really well.😃
Lol sides almost lost the game for them once again. Once they put wheeler in they lost 20+ lead. Wheeler is better warming the bench.
She needs to get involved. The entire rotation needs to have a feel for the game.
I think Sides is trying to get her more involved in the flow with her teammates. They will need her in th e long run
@@oreballin Shes trash. The team is better off without her, they should do whatever it takes to get her not to touch the ball or even be in games.
Wheeler has been an issue since the first game of the season. She doesn't pass to CC when she's wide open. The coach needs to leave the starting players alone when they're winning and let CC run the offense without restrictions. They played awesome for 3 quarters with a 31 point lead then Sides puts in Wheeler and the whole game went to hell. Ridiculous. At least they held on and won the game. CC's frustration was pretty obvious.😵💫
@WNBA please stop highlighting a player from the winning team on the thumbnail. Once I see the thumbnail I know who's won and I no longer need to watch the video. Either make it a neutal photo, or mix it up.
fun to watch the fever run the floor
I said CC would have 10 plus assists per game at the start of the season. Everyone thought that I was crazy…
Never liked the NBA until Angel Reese showed up🔥🔥
Never been intersted in WNBA until this season, Caitlyn Clark is the real deal.. first few games were rough but she's adjusted nicely. She reminds me so much of Steve Nash
funny thing is she's not done adjusting and haven't reached her peak yet... She has me watching the Fever game highlights everytime
CC & The Fever blew a 31 ponts & almost lost, y'all celebrating 🤣
Every Fever win is a celebration ❤😂. But I get your point. Blowing a 31 point lead is pretty bad. The coach needs to stop changing the starting players when they're winning. Leave Wheeler on the bench and let CC run the offense without restrictions. That 4th quarter was ridiculous 😬
It was because Sides pulled one of her famous "step in a cow patty" coaching move w who is on the court.
People forget that Tarausi been doing what Clark is doing now. Don't forget about Tina Thompson, Candice Parker etc.
The first 3 quarters for Indiana was like football on the hardwood🎉. The receivers' hands had to get use to catching and handling the quarterbacks passes.
Why is Miley Cyrus in the booth?
It's amazing on how the Fever is now. In just a short time, CC has jelled the team into a veritable scoring machine despite their coach. CC should be the playing coach.
Nonsense. They had little to no time in the start of the season to develop chemistry. Coach Sides is fine. Every coach in their first few years makes a few blunders. If they get the 8th seed in the playoffs, Sides will be safe. It's not Caitlin's team. Not yet. But it's slowly getting there.
This Fever team is must watch 👀
The FEVEERRRE playinggggg
The very fact that Side's STILL has a job shows me that the WNBA is NOT a serious league. This game shows EVERYTHING that us wrong with that coach.
Sides is a terrible coach. Every time they're winning she changes something and the game goes to hell. Seriously... Just let CC run the offense. Caitlin knows what she's doing. Great game for 3 quarters
31 point lead. 4th quarter coach sides brings in Wheeler?? They almost lost the game🤦
@@tracykerr8258 just maybe teams take away what was working .. or maybe the players just start freelancing…. The personnel on the team is a work in progress.. she is trying to figure out the best lineup for everyone to be successful… but again if you just started watching ball i understand
@@marcdaddy33 but how tho… just maybe we should loook at the players for what they are instead of what ppl think they are..she is trying to find the best lineups to work for the team.. you have no defense at all .. Cc Mitchell Lou Smith are avg to below avg defenders .. lex is above avg she’s the best one… boston is above avg interior defender…so it don’t matter how much you scheme if your personnel not right..also Cc wants to play fast because half court offense doesn’t fit her.. so when teams make u play half court you can’t do much …
I can definitely see the Fevers chemistry is improving drastically
Aja Wilson i came to see you and you never disappoints ❤ keep balling girl
This fast pace action low key reminds me of the fun times watching prime GSW's fast breaks. CC is the GOAT already as a rookie 😂
She has accomplished anything major yet to be labeled the GOAT. Some of you just use words without knowing the meaning of it.
@@lyno2834 she has accomplished "nothing" major yet to be labeled the GOAT. Yes and some of us actually know how to use words. 😂LOL I'm just playing bro yeah I know GOAT needs to be earned but don't take this comment too seriously. Honestly she single-handedly made people (like me) actually watch the WNBA. In a way she's the only female player I get behind in the league at the moment therefore she's the GOAT for me :)
Never in a million years did I think I would be watching WNBA highlights. This is some must watch content right now.
Tell me about it.
@flednanders4601 Their first meeting was an instant classic.
Snap I've never watched any nba now I'm watching wnba !!! Wonder why CC
I agree never in my life when I watch an entire recap of a WNBA game but Kaitlyn Clark is the WNBA I don’t care what anybody says. She is the reason why we are watching. Keep it up Caitlin we love your game !!
Yep, Caitlin Clark has me watching WNBA....
