    In what reality, with the game on the line, do you put your best player on the bench? Sides has done this time after time, and it hasn't yet yielded a positive outcome.
    This notion that Clark is weak defensively is simply moronic. She had 5 steals and 3 blocked shots today and she's a very good rebounder. Putting Clark on the bench takes the flow of the game away from her. Clark is the best transition player in the game, now you've taken that opportunity away.

Caitlin is probably the most valuable individual player to their team in the entire W & since she's so dynamic especially on offense, it takes a lot to understand how she thinks & how she plays. We're 3 games ahead of where we were last year which is a plus & we're coming off a win against the best team in the league, The Liberty which is better than ANY individual win we got last year. I believe we have the skill & ability to be a top 5 team & The Fever have shown spurts of it, we just can't do it on a consistent basis because we're the youngest team in the W. Be patient & let The Fever keep cooking up that championship level chemistry that I know we're capable of reaching.

      ​@@JB-zh1tuagreed. Just always seems a step behind coaching wise. Substitutions were questionable. Wallace should've played more and Dantas should've played more.
