- When Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever played her first Professional Women Basketball game against Connecticut Sun, the WNBA fans did not get what they expected as far as Caitlin Clark's performance was concerned. Indiana Fever lost. Could it be because the Sun players were so good at defending and the Indiana Fever were slow?

Isn't it crazy that Caitlyn struggled and still got 20 points!
She got 20 because the girl who was guarding her got hurt and Clark scored 8 points soon as she left out.
@@consciousmeka3740 So youre saying she wouldnt have scored those 8 points if the defender didnt get hurt? She scored 12 while she was in. Simple math says your logic is flawed.
@@SalvatoreSausage She only shot a 3 on carrington some of those 12 points were from free throws and on other players but not the girl who was guarding her. Just say you watched her highlights and not the entire game like I did.
While giving the other team 20 to 25 points as a result of her turnovers and missed shots. I wonder what her over under was.
@@consciousmeka3740 Actually you are very wrong about that. I watched every minute of the game. So let me get this straight...youre saying that CC's points are weak because she got fouled, only shot one 3 against somebody good, and all her other points were shot against players that werent Carrington, ands there for show no skill? Thats your arguement? If so, you have drifted into the world of jealousy and/or hate. Sorry.
Yes. Half of CC “turnovers” were due to her teammates dropping DIMES she gave em. Sad! They don’t have one play that gets her open? Cmon man. Bring in Lisa Bluder
The coach didn't cause those turnovers the coach also addressed Clark moving without the ball which she never did so before we are ready to fire the coach we need to make sure the players are following the coaching and executeing
Thank you
I agree. I watched the game and more than once her teammates weren't ready for her passes... Clark is not only the best shooter, she has great court IQ when it comes to assisting and she's the best conditioned one on her team... The rest of her team looked slow compared to Clark....
Why do teams in any professional sport draft get the number 1 pick? And in this instance two years in a row. The turn around for the Fever won't happen in one game and not in three weeks of training camp. Give them time and grace.
and how many were intercepted by the other team?
Caitlin showed up, when are the players showing up? Definitely the coach is not good enough for these players.
I think you might be right. Time will tell.
The apologist are blaming everyone but Caitlin.
Aliyah Boston needs to get her big butt down low, and stop missing layups ! Grab some rebounds Aliyah.👍
Caitlyn didn't play her best, but was decent for her 1st pro game experience. She had 10 turnovers, many were passes that her teammates dropped. She still scored 20pts of their 71, although she could be more efficient and will get better. Then the Fever coach, has no strategy or game IQ. They all need to improve for gm.2 !🏀🤔
Caitlyn will pick it up, I hope her team does also.
AGREE 💯

Failed? Guys... it's just one game... calm down. She'll be ok.
They do need to calm the ____ down. They were playing Connecticut which is a very good team. It's a team sport guys.
The one woman who has the potential to HELP the entire WNBA , and I am betting that the ENTIRE WNBA ( including her own teammates ) will do EVERYTHING to stop her from succeeding, because THAT is what women do to each other when they feel threatened or jealous!
true
Ooof
Huh, should they just let her win?
@@anotherelvis you can ignore the reality of the situation all you want but that STILL doesn’t make it right.
Thats why the worst team usually gets the number one pick. It won't be long before she is traded, by request, to a more solid team.
Boston was running from the ball
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Caitlin can't be the only player showing up to play her teammates need to step up and contribute to the game
She was not ready last night and she won't be for a while. Her fanbase thinks she's going cakewalk through the WNBA. She set a new turnover record but it's everybody else's fault because she can do nothing wrong. She's the greatest of all time without playing a full season in the league. Y'all are delusional.
Amen brother very disalousal
Almost as epdelusional as thinking Clark flopping will help the league
her teammates sets horrible screens and are out of shape . The main blame is on the coach. They look like they were playing street ball since there were really no plays being called.
It was not the best debut of all time but she did score more points than any of her teammates who added 15 more turnovers to her 10. After a few more games the team should start to understand how to adjust to her style of play.
These past three games are enough for the coach to realize what's happening. Hopefully she'll find a better way how to adjust the style of play... I've seen a losing team just like last season....those talents are gold.
Let's wait and see how they adjust
Clark failed with 20 points playing with worst team in the league? She did her part...other players need to get with the game.
Did you not see what Clark was doing when she didn't have the ball? She was just standing there and had 10 turnovers which was one of her weaknesses in college. This team has played together for maybe a month which is not enough time to develop good team chemistry. Clark had a bad game just like the rest of them like she said after game we had a bad game. Quit hero worshipping and blaming everyone else she needs time to adjust to this team and her competition
She did her part in making her team lose with 10 turnovers and five out of 15 from the floor. Three of 11 from the three. That's not the team fault or the coach when you are the number one pick you are expected to come in and make a instead impact maybe not win a championship. The superstar takes the credit for the wins and the losses that's why they get paid the big bucks. Caitlin is good enough to be good WNBA but this notion that everybody has that she will dominate it's crazy. People have no idea how much talent is in that league.
@@Jamie-ff1zm bc thats not how she plays basketball shes a point gaurd she should be controlling the offense this coach is a bone head and dont know how to coach
Caitlen only shot the ball for 33%. That is worst for the team for last night's game.
She did nothing
Grace Berger was the only player who wanted to play at CC's pace, everyone else seems a little sluggish, causing CC to look out of sync. The team needs to speed up to Caitlin's pace, that would give CC an advantage due to her higher basketball IQ.
Im wasting my time talking to these clueless casual fans,Bandwagoneers lol
Bandwagoneers? This was Caitlins first professional game. Its literally the beginning of the "bandwagon" ride. Hell, her rookie card hasnt even been printed yet. You didnt this your comment through too good, did you...
You’re exactly right…yes bandwagon fans…in 8 YEARS this chic hasn’t won a state title in high school or a championship in college but teams are supposed to build their offense around her ?!!? No her strengths need to be incorporated into an offensive scheme to win
@@SalvatoreSausagebandwagon fans followed her from college
GEAUX TIGERS
Then go somewhere else.
Small window for rookies to build that rythm with her team.
They also played what arguably might be top 3 if not best defensive team in the league.
She favors her left and defenses will notice this.
She and the team will get better.
I dont need CC to win (a bonus if fever does), i just want CC to score as much as 3s as much as possible lol same as Spurs with Wemby. Viewers and ratings will increase because of her exciting shot making. No need to pressure her of winning coz thats plain crazy 🎉🎉🎉
Yep gimme some highlights or I’m changing the channel
Hey, she was baptized into the WNBA. I think she did well. I did see many bad calls, wish the Coach would of fought for her. Oh well, give her a chance. It's not where you start, it's where you finish !!! This gal has changed women's sports for the best!! All I can say is GRACE !!!
She has weak team... nobody remembers LeBron first Cleveland year??
I do. Clark’s team is worse. The only other good player, Boston, is way out of shape and I’m talking conditioning not size.
Thank you
Just because she flops a lot doesn’t mean she’s a LeBron
You guys are Pathetic now that's the reason so nothing DT said registered at all
Yes, He didn't struggle.
Cut wheeler take Sides with you.Get Bluder trade for Megan and Kate. That’s a Great start
So I see how the narrative is about to be shifted if see continue to fail.
Gabby Marshall would probably join the team today! She would bring in immediate energy and good hands. It looks to me the fever could drop any of the other teammates except Boston. Gabby is small but plays big.
Clark did not fail she is adjusting from playing college ball to playing professional. Even though her coach threw her under the bus soooo unprofessional. I owe coach admittedly she had to adjust her way of coaching with Katlin. Problem with Indy coach she does have 22 years of coaching experience and believes it her way or no way. Coach and support Katlin and will be a great asset. Bind her and break her and you will ruin her. She seemed to mesh with the team pretty good and the team supported. Not an off night but a learning night where she still scored 20 points. Go Indy!!
When the players hang Cait out to dry, that's when the coach steps in....the coach only stepped in it.
Caitlin showed up but where was the coaching. Coach needs to go 💯
cc shot 33%, 20 points erased by 10 turnovers all time WNBA record for a rookie.
Her team is weak and many of those ladies looked way out of shape. Boston, Samuelson they all looked bad.
While everyone goes off the deep end, I'd like to point out that the Sun have several players who have played several years together, which is a great advantage. Clark's former team also had several players who played several years together, with similar results. There are other teams in the W that also have veteran teams, ie the Aces, and these teams click. Clark cannot do this alone, and it's going to take some time to jell into a cohesive team. I agree, Boston could have played better, as well as others including CC herself. I'd say give them a dozen or so games, and they will be better. If not, I dunno, let Clark coach the team? Or maybe get Kate Martin to come over?
Refs called CC for some ticky tack fouls while allowing Conn team to mug her. It was a bad start and she tried to do to much.
Real ballers know in Regulation...when the refs give quick twos(fouls) the game is fixed. Why? Cause now the player can't play defense. Its text book how LAS VEGAS fix COLLEGE MEN'S BASKETBALL. SHAQ GOT TWO QUICK PLAYING AGAINST CHRISTIAN LAITNER FROM DUKE AND THEY DUKE WON. TIM DUNCAN GOT TWO QUICK PLAYING AGAINST DUKE AND DUKE WON. FAB FIVE GOT TWO QUICK IN BOTH LOSSES TO DUKE AND UNC AND LOST. CAITLIN IS SO BIG...SHE GOT THE TWO QUICK.
I watched the game and have a few pointers for their coach. # 1 : A couple of the players were guarding their players and when their player shot the ball they didn't even turn around to see if it was a basket and when it was a miss the player that they were guarding ran past them and got their own rebound and put it in the basket all because the fever player didn't pay attention. # 2 : 80 % of the time there were 3 or even four players from the other team under the basket looking for the rebound but only one Fever player was trying to stop them rebound so, where were the other back court players and why weren't they trying to get the rebound ? Also Boston and Katie Lou combined for 55.47 minutes and scored a combined 9 points. How the hell do they except the team to win a game with that type of shooting and yes each one of them contributed in other ways BUT points are the determining factor in every game.
25 turnovers guys the others can't score if they can't get the ball from that ball Hog CC...
@@FrederickQuick-qp3qd Dude the team as a whole took 50 shots and C.C. took 15 so that left 35 shots and Smith took 12 of them and only scored 13 pt's. So much for your ball hog crap. Also she had 10 turnovers because she was trying to get her teammates the ball,
true enough said, learning curve, but REF is blind, unfair calls favoring black uniform, hacking-wacking is foul....yes physicality is obvious enough....until to the next game😊
In case people forget.. the reason Indiana Fever got the 1st choice in the draft is because they are the WORST TEAM in the WNBA. Plain and simple.
First pic usually goes to a rebuilding team
Yeah, a weak team to be honest. It's a burden on CC. Boston was a 1st pick but she FAILED last season, now there's two of them, still can't find a way. Coach problem???
They need another good and fast scorer because what the Fever has is not good.
Whom ever they play will be putting extra pressure on Clark to keep her from getting into a rhythm. They’ve seen enough film on her to understand her traits. Clark is going to have to somehow change her tactics to get them off guard to make those shots.
I told everyone it's always someone else's fault when it's on her
BOSTON HAD 4 POINTS. SEASON MAY BE ALREADY LOST UNLESS CAITLIN SCORES 50 EVERY GAME.
Everybody overreacting to one game is crazy. If by 10 games in things haven’t changed. Then make a big deal about it.
Funny it is called a team game, give them a chance to grow with her team.
I'm curious how her debut compares to the other rookies who started their team's season opener as point guard. I suspect there have been very few over the history of the league. With the debut being against the number one defense in the league, the turnovers weren't all that surprising. Looking forward to watching how this team gels over the season. I do believe the predictions were that the Fever would win about 13 games this year. If they win one of the first four, considering the competition, that would be an unpredicted success.
They never had the pressure that they gave to caitlin as soon as she got the inbound ball from the backcourt. They had a gameplan to stop Caitlin while her team did not have a play to help her out, they just let her be to fend for herself, that is why she had many turnovers.
The Suns put her on a full court defense, tag teamed her, doubled her, they were determined to destroy her and put her in place for daring to be more popular than all of them put together without even playing a single wnba game. Connecticut's mission for the night was to destroy her specifically, not necessarily the Fever. All the other rookies werent subjected to that pressure.
Oh boy here we go that's the team that drafted her,oh no remember she is like Larry,LeBron,Magic,and all the other Generational Talents you keep sending this mess to my feed,I'm going to tell you the truth,which seems to be alluding all of you
Magic went to the strongest team and was subordinate to jabbar. Lebron didn't do anything for his team's benefit and just accumulated stats.
Larry went to the cellar dwelling team (29 wins) and with just him added to the team, turned it around to become the league winningest team (61 wins). He also established his leadership of the team in their first game. Boston went to the playoffs all the way to the easter conference finals and lost in 6 against the much talented sixers led by Dr. J. The next season, the celtics became the NBA champion.
Only Bird did that. All the rest of the superstars may be spectacular in their rookie year but they never advanced their team except adding a few more wins from the previou season. Not jordan, not lebron, not wemby, not anybody else.
Here’s another truth, without Clark this league will have less fans than D2 college games.
Caitlin's team is too slow'. The coach needs to do speed training. The reason there were so many turnovers is that the Fever are not keeping up with Caitlin's speed. The point is not to slow Caitlin but to speed the others up, and study more tapes of Iowa. Iowa did not have a mid-field game because they were always at the net getting those great Caitlin passes which they were always ready for, getting the passes at full speed and not needing to dribble the ball much. Dribbling the ball works for slower teams but doesn't if the players are faster and trust Caitlin, who always passed to where the players were going to be, not where they already were. Which is to say that the coach needs to rethink how she coaches, because her approach is too behind Caitlin.
There is a reason this team picks first in the draft almost every year.
They need a real coach for the team.
They need a coach who can see the big picture and put all those pieces with were they’ll work together as a team. I don’t think Christie Sides is that person?
they just hgave alot of growing to do together...some of the pklayers are slow and dont try hard like thgey expect to lose...that needs to change,but its a growing curve,..including the coach,shes not a winning coach at no time in her career,only time she seen a winning season was as asst coach and that was decades ago
No! The Fever needs more time to be on the same page, especially in a game.
Their schedule to open the season doesn't help at all, playing New York and Connecticut twice in their first 4 games to open the 2024 season which both teams won a combined 59 of their 80 games played a season ago.
WNBA doing smart scheduling. Not
Need to give them a little time to gel as a team, they've been together four weeks evidently playing against a weak male practice team.
Look Caitlin didn't play great but honestly this is pro basketball and it's going to take work but I truly believe she will work hard and gain experience and be a great player
C.C. Scored 28 % ( 20 points ) of the teams 71 points that means the other 8 players averaged a little over 6 points each !!!!!!!!!! And it was a really bad game for C.C. because of turnovers so COACH what are you going to do ? NOTHING I except because I don't think the coach knows how to fix it.
20 points is never failure
No, it's coaching. If the head coach doesn't shut her mouth and fight for her players, she is going to be a has been, and the players will make sure she's gone.
First season watching WNBA Because of Caitlin Clark . I’m just not impressed with the team playing. It looks out of rhythm, these are supposed to be professional athletes.
To all you haters of Caitlin Clark what are your major achievements?
Do you defend any other WNBA player like this or is it just Caitlin?
21 ,12, 20 but she is a failure?
This is some Lebron James level fandom delusionalism 😂
Her fans will be her undoing !
❤️
Nope
No the coach will be her undoing.
Facts, unless she turn off her social media,Fans can't help you on the court
Her petty WNBA peers will be her undoing!
Did you not watch the game? I guess from your comment the answer is no.
Caitlin Clark is on a bad team.
Maybe Caitlin Clark is overrated...
Get used to it, last night she was fully rested. She’ll just get more and more worn out as those games took off question is who are they going to get with the number one pick next year
Paige is predicted to be if she stays healthy
She's overrated
Coach sucks
That team is headed for disaster. The coach is always going to be under fire, because of coaching a player that is considered “perfect.” Let me let you in on reality, Caitlin is not “perfect.” She was shut down in the fourth of the NCAA Championship game. Swoopes and other WNBA veterans tried to share their experience and opinion on what Caitlin should expect in the WNBA and they all had rocks thrown at them. Why? Because they cannot give their opinion on a “perfect” player. Now Boston, the rookie of the year, and other players on the team careers are now in jeopardy. Why? Because they are playing with the “perfect” player and teammate; thus, they will never be able to measure up to perfection. The team is Caitlin and what is best for Caitlin is best for the team. If they win, it was Caitlin. If they lose, it is the team. Boston tried to share some of experience with Caitlin at the half and after the half Caitlin played better; however, it was due to the opposing starting guard being injured. Boston should just focus on her game because her, the coach, and many other players on the team careers are in jeopardy. Again, because they are playing with the “perfect” player and teammate and their tenure on the team means absolutely nothing. I have empathy for Boston, the coach, and the others. The team will have five loses in the future (Liberty, Liberty, Sun, and Storm). Afterwards, the team will be searching for the right coach and players to pair with the "perfect" player.
Watching that game just showed me how lazy and slow these women are. They won't push it up The Court And this coach apparently has no Idea What talent she has on that team.
