  • Hear from Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides after their loss in Minneapolis.
    Clark scored 23 points in Minnesota, but the Indiana Fever suffered their first loss since the Olympic break, 90-80, to the Lynx. It was a big night in Minnesota, both because Clark was facing the team she grew up rooting for and they were honoring legend Maya Moore but retiring her jersey. Clark idolized Moore as she grew up in Des Moines.
    It was a sellout (19,023) at the Target Center.
    The Fever were within one point at halftime, then turned it over six times in the third quarter. They were outscored by nine points in the second half and Napheesa Collier was terrific, finishing with a game-high 31 points. With the win, the Lynx (22-8) have already clinched a playoff spot.
    For the Fever, it marked the return of Temi Fagbenle off the bench. The forward had been out since July 2nd after suffering a thumb injury and needing a cast. She had only played in 11 games this season.
    Kelsey Mitchell scored 21 points, but they got 12 points combined from their front court of Katie Lou Samuelson (0), NaLyssa Smith (2) and Aliyah Boston (10).

      CC is awesome, and does show humility and grace a lot of times. But she would do well to stop stepping in on every group question, and just let Kelsey take some of them. She doesn't have to be the perpetual spokesperson. That's the one small tell I see on CC to show she has some ego. But all in all for a 22 year old phenomenon that is treated like a rockstar everywhere she goes, she deserves a lot of praise for how she keeps it real.

      Yes, the interviewers need to specifically ask Kelsey. Cuz CC will try to answer every group question, because I think she feels like all the responsibility is on her, and there's a little bit of establishing her alpha status going on with her. She was even butting in on Lexie a little in that Storm post- game presser. Giving her love and all, but still feeling the need to do the talking. And I say it with love because I am also an extrovert who over-talks, as is apparent. 🥰

      I agree. The starting lineup didn't make sense, didn't work, and Sides went back to it instead of sticking with what began working to bring them within 1 point. The other thing I couldn't figure out was why Sides didn't yank Dantas onto the bench when everything she was throwing at the basket were bricks, and that being true with whatever range she shot from. Those missed shots hurt the Fever badly on offense, and that can't be allowed to happen with a team that has a killer defense like the Lynx has.

SPREAD THE FLOOR, once in a while. Put all 4 players on the left side and give CC the ball. She cannot be stopped 1v1. She will eventually get double teamed , and you will have an open teammate trailing the play. Not EVERY time, but once in a while. It isn't rocket science Christie!

      Very true. I rate the Lynx as having the most versatile and toughest defense in the league, and when their offense gets cooking the pot boils over. That combination makes them a tough team to beat, especially when the Fever has a lot of work to do with getting their defense up to snuff. It also doesn't help when Sides pulls boneheaded moves like leaving Dantas on the court when all she's throwing at the basket are bricks. After her 3rd miss Sides should have yanked her back to the bench. When a player's missing shots at all ranges of shooting, when they're that 'cold' on the floor the best place for them is warming the bench.

    Good interview. The defense denied the floor general with a quick double team and they covered the passing lanes. Boston didn't set the usual screens and a new Fever player shows up in the game who doesn't pass to the general. The first action in the winning games has been to get the ball and give it to the play maker. We didn't do that. What does Hull need to do to start?

    • @lakelanddentalarts
      @lakelanddentalarts Před 18 dny +1

      I agree about Lexie regarding her being a starter. I think one of the problems Sides is dealing with is how little Smith is caring about playing, which doesn't leave her with many options in who to start. Lexie has the heart to be a starter and has some good sharpshooting skills when she's cooking; however, she needs more practice and experience in moving the ball when passing and dribbling. Lexie is best used off the bench for now with plans to develop her into a future starter.
      It's very telling that Smith's brother went on a tweet-rampage after the game demanding that Sides trade his sister. It explained a lot about her attitude and playing this season, and she's obviously made it known to her brother that she doesn't like being with the Fever. Look at the huge amount of difference in the chemistry that's developed between Caitlin and Aliyah compared to there seeming to be no interest by Smith in developing chemistry with Caitlin. I'd been hoping to see some develop during the practices during the Olympic Break, but I'm not seeing any signs of it, and the tweets from Smith's brother could explain the why of it.

    The Lynx are very good. The Fever were really tested the whole game. Too many turnovers tonight. Most of the time CC's passes are right on the hands of her teammates. Tonight she didn't make great decisions on several of her assist attempts. Also, I see her and her teammates standing around too much when they don't have the ball. They would all be better served by continually moving, especially when the pick and roll isn't working, which was the case tonight. And come help the person with the ball when she is being double teamed. This was a game they can learn from.

    The Fever didn't lose because the Lynx are such a great team, but because the Fever missed wide-open threes all night. If they had made just 15 percent of the threes they missed, they would have won this game. Every time we think they are getting it together, they have a letdown like this. The Fever have a championship team here just waiting to happen, but this is another loss that is all on Sides.

    • @patriciataylor2124
      @patriciataylor2124 Před 19 dny +3

      No, it wasn't just on Sides. She's not out there playing. Caitlin kept missing on her passes. What has happen to her 3's? Seems she's not even trying to make them anymore. She will try a few and if she misses seems to give up. The only player that seemed to be engaged was Kelsey but the Lynx defense was fierce and it was hard for her to score.

    • @ariezthagod
      @ariezthagod Před 19 dny +4

Hull should have stayed in and more minutes, and if Smith is not doing well why wasn't she benched and Saxton given minutes and Tami hopefully we'll get better and then more minutes? Bottom line is Lynx are better than Fever. The Fever could not run... Thanks ladies for always being classy Fever stood pat over the trade deadline, which i disagree with....
