The reason Caitlin Clark had the reporters ask Aliyah Boston questions is not because she was upset with boston, its because she was upset with the reporters acting like everyone sitting next to her doesnât exist. I think Caitlin feels awkward while they are completely ignoring the other player sitting there.
exactly. The journalists are absolutely ridiculous. Even many of the questions were dumb--the kind of stuff you ask a high school student. These are pro players, ask pro questions.
Honestly, i watched the post game interview. CC was asked a bunch of questions in a row, while her teammate was sitting right next to her. It makes sense that AB should also get to speak. I saw nothing wrong with that.
Exactly, caitlin was just making sure aliyah boston was not being completely ignored. Caitlin is basically reminding the reporters not to ignore everyone else
To the Coach, whoever is controlling your decision to stop Caitlin Clark from running the Court, Stop listening to them, they have an agenda to destroy Caitlin Clark and Anyone else who knows what needs to be done to WIN GAMES!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN WITH HER! Stop listening to them and tell them you don't want anything else except to win games, Or move out of the way for her and let her pass you because she knows more about the game then You! You are only blocking traffic and holding up the whole team! And stoping the flow of ALL traffic đŠâ
She is nauseating. They need to get rid of this coach..."YESTERDAY", but she's only 1 piece to this puzzle/problem. They need to get someone like Coach Bluder, maybe a male coach like Larry Bird. Either could come in and correct this mess and bring strategy that will produce results...đșđžđșđžđșđž
I think your assessment is way off on this one. The reason why she said to ask Boston a question is because they keep ignoring everyone else and only asking her questions, which has been an issue from the beginning.
That's exactly right. They are using her to explain their horrible performances... it makes it look like their loses are her fault alone. Aliyah Boston showed her true colors... look hiw she waived off attemps to get her to speak.. she outright refused. How despicable!
And if theyâre going to be asking her all the questions then they shouldnât sit anyone else on the podium with her. Because a player on a team sport tends to better express themselves when theyâre answering questions by themselves than when teammates are sitting beside them. It just gets awkward.
she could and should use the rule change that the wnba just enacted to protect angel reese from the media and demand that she also be exempt from the media if so choses.đ
Itâs clear, that Caitlin Clark, is extremely disappointed with the WNBA, and their level of professionalism. Her teammates, and head coach, are contributing to her overall disappointment with this league!
No one person wins or loses. You win as a team, and you lose as a team. The coach is ultimately responsible for not utilizing the talents of the team and getting them to work together.
That's where you and everyone else is incorrect, IN SO MANY WAYS. I'll just start with the most important one. THE WNBA, JUST LIKE THE NBA, IS BASED ON UNION CONTRACTUAL HIERARCHY. COACHES MUST ABIDE BY THE CONTRACTUAL HIERARCHY WHEN DOLING OUT PLAYING TIME. This is not high school ball, or college ball. THIS IS PROFFESSIONAL WNBA BASKETBALL WHICH IS STRUCTURED ACCORDING TO UNION RULES. Sides, (EVERY COACH), assigns playing time, and thus team composition, according to contract status. The players with the best contracts status get the most minutes, most shots, most opportunities, PERIOD. All coaches can do is to allocate non-premium minutes to non-premium players. Second, ROOKIES DON'T MATTER, NOT EVEN MS CLARK. Caitlin will have her time, but it's after she matures into a woman, has an adequate team surrounding her, she has actual experience with the league, refs, rules, new players, and time allocations, adequate practice time, and after ALL OF THE TEAM develops a positive team chemistry, and after she advances into her second contract term. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATE VARIABLES, BUT THOSE VARIABLES ARRIVE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME, WHICH IS NOT ANYWHERE IN A ROOKIE SEASON. Plus, Sides is brand new at her job, and no coach is qualified to coach Clark because no one has seen anyone like Clark, so many of the maturing variables that are necessary for Clark to improve, also relate to coach sides. Even more? This first season is not just to tank for another top pick, it's also a filter period to see who can, and who wants, to be on Caitlin's team. (I hate to call it "Caitlin's" team, but the fact is that it will be at some point.) Sides has to learn her new position (which is filled with a ton of pressure), as well as figure out (along with management) which current players will fit with Caitlin, and which would be better elsewhere. This means that the first season is partially to clear out the ruffage, but there is no guarantee that the proper pieces can be obtained in just one off-season, and even if they were, it still could take a few seasons for them to gel. You people who are stupid and are expecting too much from Clark and the situation too soon, are actually more distracting to Clark than the Clark haters. If you don't enjoy the games, don't watch. If you want to follow Clark for half a season, just move on. If you want to follow Clark's CAREER, THEN CHILL OUT AN LET THE GIRL GROW AND MATURE. IT'S GOING TO BE A 15 YEAR RIDE. No rookie has ever dominated in the way you stupid people expect Clark AND HER LOTTERY LEVEL TEAM to perform from day one. It's your dumm, unrealistic, expectations that is piling unnecessary pressure onto Clark. Learn the subject matter, be patient, or just move on to something else.
Clark flat out said what is going on. Nobody is giving her advice, she wished. Mitchell isn't passing because Sides told her not to, or ignores the fact she doesn't. It's the coach period.
@jaylucas8352 You are just a CC fan, so I understand why you would say that. Kels kept them in a lot of games when CC was jacking shots and not connecting. Kels way more skilled than CC with the dribble and can get to the rim and shot the 3. Can't hate on her game she a offensive weapon. CC predictable. She needs a screen most times, or she needs distance to create her shot long range. Sometimes people get so caught up over their player they don't recognize their faults. Kels the truth.
Yeah, but that somebody could've helped on defense. It's no accident Loyd went for 34. I think Celeste could've helped that. So much for Coach Suds concentrating in defense.
While Caitlin Clark is the one they want to interview most.. itâs disrespectful of the reporters to only ask cc questions when another teammate is sitting right there and not asking her anything .. I think thatâs whatâs going on
Bullshit she tired of her sorry ass teammates you try tell me all the questions she use to get at lowa was mostly for other players not name Caitlin naw college she was getting all the questions fever franchise is a joke if Caitlin was a average player she could have been on a better run franchise team when you real good u go number 1 to a bum ass team
I think they need trade CC itâs obvious that she donât get along with her teammates and her coach so she really messing up the chemistry if they can get a good player back in trade I think they would be better and they can get that headache of there hands her body language is terrible towards her teammates she talks in interviews in away to suggest that everybody else it the problem she seem only focus on getting her stats and she has the ball in her hands and she donât seem to want to do what it take to win when they were going through Boston and Mitchell the won 4 straight games but due to pressure from her fans for her to have the ball itâs damaging their team
@@Kingstepa_ CHEMISTRY! They were horrible last year 13-27. She is probably frustrated because she passes the ball and they miss a layup or turnover the ball. She is holding back her shots.
You her fans traumatized her by making her the best thing since sunlight. She has to develop but you guys keep pushing it that she is a finished product already. You her fans and the Nadia did this to her. And she is partly to blame as well because she had not told her fans to cool down. So, thatâs so folkes.
This team lacks leadership from the coaching standpoint and needs it desperately. It's the only way that the players are going to work together as a team, with a coach that has that expectation and is going to plan a team game that Sides appears incapable of bringing to this group. Sides' substitutions are mystifying and her game plan isn't utilizing the talent on her roster correctly. Lots of platitudes and not enough planning.
Coaching is the biggest problem, but some of her teammates are not helping either. Mitchell plays hero ball and refuses Tobiasâs to CC, Wheeler sucks but surprisingly had an ok game tonight, Wallace should not be starting.l, and Smith is checked out, getting cooked. They miss CCs passes or donât finish when they actually catch the pass. Lastly, they all need to play more Defense.
@@rociojuarez510 absolutely. Her "teammates," and I use that term lightly, need to stop dribbling in circles while freezing her out only to blow layups. They also need to keep their heads on a swivel and keep their hands up, be ready for her passes. Now, don't get me wrong, as some of her turnovers last night were definitely very iffy, her fault, trying to thread the needle too finely. But I think some of the 50/50 passes in that game were a result of desperation on CCs part. She's trying to do too much because her teammates aren't doing enough.
@@kathyshea2444 Sides is not the leader this team needs to whip them to not a cohesive unit that will work together... Whether they like it or not. It seems like she has demands for CC individually but not for the rest of the team. At least, that's what I'm getting from her pressers.
@@barbiedahl agreed. I also get that Clark will have to work on her defense and overall game. Sheâs a student of the game and admits her limitations. But sheâs a talent that needs a coach to develop all her skills. Her IQ is high and that is intimidating to Sides. I hope in the off season 2 things happen: Sides and entire coaching staff is replaced, and Clark hits the gym and puts on some muscle, and also gets the rest she needs. Just 2 months ago or so, she was in college playing in the championship. Crazy.
If a teammate of mine was getting drilled in the HEAD which players with helmets get ejected for. She gets her eardrum ruptured. I would at the very least help her up and make sure the other team learned not to do that again and NOT by hitting someone in the head. Thanks to all of the other players including her teammates ordering this BS, they should be grateful people are watching women and it's not because of them or big mouth Reese who gets away with everything has since college. If she didn't have that special whistle (her term) she wouldn't be playing because she is terrible. CC's so called coach and I use that term loosely doesn't even protect her and she isn't letting her be herself. Most of Caitlin's turnovers are because her teammates can't catch a pass and if they do they miss the easiest shots on the floor. Because they are jealous of their own teammate . They should be watching Iowa film not their own. Hey sides call COACH Bluder .
It's a lot of pressure for a rookie to be constantly interviewed as of she was team captain. You can do right things and still lose. Other team is a stronger team
Why does CC have to go to every press conference.....there's other players in the team that have been playing in the Fever longer than she has. Media is why this is happening. Give the girl a break
This isnât the first time sheâs suggested reporters ask questions of her teammates. Thereâs no beef between CC and AB. Theyâre both bummed and frustrated they lost and are tired of answering the same questions all the time.
Fire Sides, for the umpteenth time! They need a knowledgeable coach who can get these players playing like a team and leave their horrible egos home! If players arenât going to cooperate and play together put them on waivers. All you have to do is watch how the Iowa team played with that coach. Sides is just a mess and is further messing up CC, and the potential talent of the whole team. FIRE SIDES!!!!!!!
Caitlynâs a very bright woman..She knows exactly whatâs going on in that locker room with her teammates. Much respect to CC for being the consummate professional. She knows there some things you canât control and thatâs her teammates and coachâs emotions!
I'm so tired of these post game pressers. The payers don't want to be there and we learn nothing new. Total waste of time for the media to try and get them to speak badly about someone. It's stupid
I think CC is feeling the pressure of being the face and savior of the WNBA. And the pressure is coming from the other girls in the league. She feels the resentment even from her own teammates.
@@TRINIFLASHAJSOLDIE9231-lj7fb true. College womenâs basketball is a FAR bigger sport. Sheâs just not used to losing, same with all top draft picks.
@@a2knyc idk Iâm tired of people making excuses for Caitlin Clark if she was this messiah and the face of the league and this great player than she be able to score 50 and 60 points and overcome her so called bad teammates and the resentment also mentioned in this comment
Too much stress for one person to handle I donât know how Caitlin handles all the BS that goes on in the WNBA it wouldnât surprise me if she decided to leave the league.
She answers more questions than the entire team combined. Boston, while having lost weight and gotten in better shape is in no way capable of playing 5D chess with CC. Smith got owned 2nd game in a row. Team visibly is against her. She has stopped being fearless shooting with someone in her face. Is it confidence, is it team player mentality? She needs a true facilitator and shooter like herself to fully open her game. Mitchell HAS TO GO.
Disagree Boston is very strong mentally CC is being treated like she is team captain when she literally is a rookie. It's not reasonable to always interview CC. She won't win alone. AB and CC play well together
So youâre saying cc isnât mentally tough ? Maybe she should work on that. The great athletes never cry , they get better & figure it out . Stop crying & blaming the team and the coach this is pathetic
There is no leak , her mental status is good , Aliyah did not get blasted .Catlin did not explode . 4 for 4 Bullshit ! Over18,000 was at the game primarily because of Caitlin .She broke major records not to mention all the points she put on the board ! Her and her alone !
I don't mind the reporters ignoring the other players. But not Boston. Boston articulates very well and answer questions intelligently. The others I don't really care to hear from.
Yeah unfortunately it's pretty clear Caitlin Clark is definitely frustrated. Being that she's only 22 years old I'm concerned with all the pressure from the media asking more than expected. I fear one day she'll harmed herself or just step away from the WNBA for a while. She needs to take some time to compartmentalize. But that scene showing Caitlin not taking part in the teams pep rally, shows complete and utter dissension amongst the whole entire team. If it hasn't already you might here there was a huge altercation that ensued in the locker room. Depression,anxiety and frustration is no joke! That's definitely what we see here.
You are 100% correct...this team is the worst of the worst and nothing is ever going to change until you get rid of Wheeler Wallace Mitchell and Sides....
You have an overactive imagination. CC spent years being the face of NCAA. She knows how to deal with media attention. The issue is losing, but that's to be expected from a team that gets the first round draft pick, which hasn't played together as others have.
Wow, social media is so good at creating issues where issues do not exist. Catlin's comment was directed entirely at the reporters for acting like Aalyah was not even in the room and not asking her any questions. The comment was not directed at Aalyha in any way. Catlin was simply attempting to support her teammate when she was being dismissed by the reporters.
Why is it always Clark and Boston shoved in front of the camera (they should be limited to 4 questions each ). The team act like clowns . That's what you get .sides once again just defects defects . its terrible this dumpster
Caitlin HATES to lose. Don't expect her to be all chummy. She is focused on Winning. The greats in all sports when losing, are in pain. Do not be confused, this is part of fighting back to be a champion. The Storm out-hustled, played great defense and scored at will. Give them their due.
Clark can't handle defensive great teams she's a no show but these sorry teams that's when Clark has her best games. She can't be great if she dont learn how to play defense and handle defensive pressure.
â@JE-IC But that's part of her job... Caitlin shouldn't have to answer all of the questions. That was disrespectful for Boston to waive off accepting questions, saying, " No, I'm good." That's unprofessional.
â@@MrMjolnir009- But it's not disrespectful to be sitting up there and no one asking you anything? You wouldn't be annoyed if you're sitting there and being ignored? That's why she said she's good. They only turned and asked Boston a question because Clark told them to. That's the disrespect. Clark was tired of all the questions and attention and wanted to pass it off to Boston. Boston didn't want no pity questions.
@@MrMjolnir009you canât be serious. For 3 mins no one asked her a question. CC had to tell them to ask her a question which they did. Why does she have to do that?
You're so dumm. ALL OF THESE GIRLS JUST MET A FEW WEEKS AGO. Do you live and die for someone you met a few weeks ago and have no choice but to work with them? THE ANSWER IS "NO", SO DON'T EXPECT FOR CLARK'S "TEAM MATES" TO DO ANY DIFFERENT, (AND DON'T EXPECT CAITLIN TO HAVE ANYONE'S BACK WHOM SHE JUST MET A FEW WEEKS AGO EITHER.) IT'S NOT A VIDEO GAME. A SUPERIOR TEAM TAKES YEARS TO COMPILE, NOT A FEW WEEKS.
Honestly ... the best thing possible at this point would be for Caitlin to tell her erstwhile head coach that she is taking over control of this team, and that everyone who doesn't get with the new program, including Sides AND Dunn, are going to be purged. Straight up, tell her/them to go ahead and cut her if they want, her WNBA salary is peanuts to her growing endorsememt deals, and she'll be on the open market with any other team the moment the cut happens. Seriously, what would once have been insanely selfish behavior is the only sane response to this greater insanity. Most of her team (Boston is a noble exception) simply does not know how to play fundamentally excellent basketball, and Caitlin does. She lobs full court passes right into teammates' hands. She dribbles at a full run down the court pulling a triple team onto her and tosses behind the back masterwork passes to ... teammates who instantly fumble it. She keeps on lasering passes to girls alone in the paint ... who miss layups from two feet away. She just shot 44% ... on only nine attempts, due to teammates refusing to pass to her, by FAR the best shooter on the team, when she somehow, some way made herself wide open. The opposing team just spent an entire game trying to double and triple team her, leaving others wide open all night, and undermining all their own psychotic bullshit that she's not a good player (bad players don't get double teamed; period). She is drawing sellout crowds in opposing stadiums that have literally never had sellouts for women's basketball before. Enough. Freakin'. ENOUGH. Walk into their offices, tell them she's now The Boss, or she walks and tells the whole world that can't see the blindingly obvious exactly why. And if the whole WNBA hates her, she can literally go to a competitor league. And first order of business: hey Celeste? Hey, yeah, great to talk to you. Listen, there's just been a slight personnel adjustment at the top, and the new leadership totally wants you back. ... Go ahead and laugh at this whole idea, haters. How many comments do you see by people who say they never gave a rat's about the WNBA until Clark? She should absolutely go on the offensive, she holds all the cards. EDIT: Second order of business: Okay, enough, ask my teammates things. What things? Anything, I don't care, just treat them as though they exist, starting now. Refuse and I never answer another question you ask for at least a year.
I agree. I remember Michael Jordan had his highest scoring percentage ever at 37.plus/game during his early years because he had no choice. So did Kobe when his teammates sucked he did not want to pass the ball and just loaded his stat line. CC is too nice. She has to go on a beast mode and focus only on the things she can control which is her abilities to score. She can not control her coach's questionable decisions and her motives, she can not control Mitchell's game not passing her the ball, she can not control whether they lose or win the game. She can only control what she does on the floor. Take 20 shots a game. Be the scoring champion as a rookie. The team is toxic in many levels. The owner of the Indiana Fever will lose CC and it will be its biggest mistake ever. Or not because either the are not ready to become an elite team and turns the market of the franchise in competition with the biggest markets like NY, LA, LV, CHC or they rather continue to be a mediocre team at least they feel comfortable that way in a small market like Indiana somewhere in the midwest.
And she was using self comforting behaviors rubbing her arms, playing with her hair, pulling it over her face, shrinking down in chair... it's horrible to watch what this awful coach and untalented teammates are doing to this wonderful young lady.
CC did this before with Kelsey, too. She told reporters to ask Kelsey the last question. She gets tired of people acting like she's the only one there.
Also, Wheeler canât dribble or pass the correctly.. instead the Fever waiving Taylor they shouldâve waived #33. AB, had a double double and still getting blamed for CC lack of defense and turnovers.
CC was asked if she gets any advice and she said, âADVICE, NOBODY GIVES ME ADVICE, I WISH!â WTH!! She looked miserable, very sad to see. I think she feels trapped. I wish she was happy like Kate Martin is with her coach/team. Sad situation coming from Fever Management for not stepping in and stopping this shit show from Coach Sides!! CC is on of the best woman shooters/players of all time, she deserves way better than this!!
Caitlin is being slowly destroyed by Sides and her own team mates! They treat her like she is not even on the courtâŠHer Coach Sides throws her under the bus after every game and the team treats her worse..this is one of the biggest tragedies that they are doing to Clark!,đĄđĄđĄWhy the hell havenât they âFIREDâ Coach Sides? She is way, way out of her league and is pathetic Coach..How much longer are the Fevor owners going to let her destroy Clark and the Fevor? The problem is definitely Coach Sides
Caitlin has team mates that she respects and respect her ,also i have never seen her play dirty against other teams !!! stay your ground young lady !!!
Imagine being Caitlin Clark. You are the biggest and best thing the WNBA has ever seen by far. You deliver an exponential increase in viewers, fans, revenue, and press and TV coverage. She gives everything she's got to her team and the league 24/7. In return, what does the League, her team mates and coaches give her? They treat her like dirt. This young woman has to be so hurt and confused. Her childhood dream is now a nightmare.
Yep... I'm a big Caitlin Clark fan. but I don't like the WNBA as a whole. It's becoming unwatchable. Clark is obviously depressed and not happy with her Coach and teammates... and I don't blame her... because they are trash!!!
Clark is apart of the team being trash! When has Clark stepped up to the great defensive teams in the league she hasn't because she's a no show! The girl get her stats from playing teams that are not good in the league.
I think Caitlin wanted the press to stop ignoring her teammate. Trying to share the spotlight with Aliyah. But this time, I don't think Aliyah wanted the spotlight because she had a poor game and probably didn't want to face questions about it. And the jerks in the media didn't ask Aliyah to comment in her conference player of the week recognition.
The INDIANA FEVER âMESSâ Starts at The TOP. The INDIANA FEVER âNEEDâ The Best Top Quality General Manager available and The Best Top Quality Coach available for CAITLIN CLARK & The INDIANA FEVER, at the end of the Season. â TIME FOR BIG CHANGEâ.
I remember seeing Byron Scott, Mentor, Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant mentoring every young fella coming in the league. This is some tribal shit theyâre doing to her.
She should get over it and stop pouting . Sheâs 22, grow up & figure it out , she want red carpet treatment when she hasnât done anything in the league
@@brandonleemoss most of those "fans" probably never gave a crap about Women's sports, the WNBA or CC before now. Just a buncha racists, misogynists and homophobes latching onto her so they can complain and hate. Their deplorable actions have nothing to do with CC, though, unless you think she's influencing them to do this?
@@brandonleemoss That's horrible. Boston is a sweet person. It's a game, not life or death. Anyone giving death threats on social media should be banned from using it.
@@richs6926 this actually happened at the beginning of the season when she missed the winning shot đČ But I'm sure she's still getting it though, from my understanding the only thing she has left is a tick tock she deactivated her Instagram in her Facebook
AB should have stepped up and helped CC during the press conference. However, she dropped the ball as she has done dropping her âdimeâ passes. I am very disappointed with ABâs lack of support.
I don't blame Caitlin. She has a terrible coach and even worse teammates.. She is clearly not happy with the crappy attitudes and trashball of this so-called professional league. Caitlin did not seem herself... and appears disillusioned. They are succeeding in destroying this incredibly talented woman. Shame on them all.
Good lord. You expected 40-0? They had a bad game. Just cause they win a few against the lesser teams doesn't mean all issues are solved. It takes a long time to do that.
She has a choice because she is a rookie and she has to learn how the game as a pro is play at pro level and she has not mastered it yet and she needs to take her lumps and learn from it and stop drinking on the college level Kool aid and be humble and respectful of her team mates because no one is going to lay down for her and let her have her way đđœđđœđđœâïžâïžâïž
Sides has got to go!!!! This is getting to be not worthy of watching, I hate it for there players. All sides is got is to blame the fans,media and everybody but herself. Sad
It really hit me when the Seattle Storm coach said in the postgame presser, when asked how Jewell Loyd can make so many shots with such ease, "I let her play any way that makes her comfortable", to paraphrase what she said. It sounds like CC would be very comfortable with a coach having that attitude. I don't see the other players on the Storm objecting to it either. I wish Sides would tell the team to pass to CC, set solid screens for a change, and let her go wild for a game to see what happens. It couldn't hurt.
The team stunk mostly due to 22 turnovers. Like CC said, it's hard to have fun or smile during games like this. Her frustration broke through more in this press conference than in any I've seen. As you said, "she's been....", and I agree. This game may have been her breaking point. Temi played well and I'm so glad she's back, but the Fever just can't defend bigs well. Boston, Smith and Temi look physical enough to do it, but they get dominated when there is one aggressive big on the opposing team. I think they should double team that player and take their chances on giving up a shot from the perimeter, or they'll get run over in the paint like they did in the last Sky game. I only saw them do that once in that game and it resulted in a steal.
This team does not deserve to have Caitlin Clark on it this team should be riding a bus from now on. It's just disgusting how this team treats her when she gets knocked down who's there getting in the other players faces who's there to help her up. Each player do not deserve her
I knew it was just a matter of time when Caitlin's frustrations would come to the surface. They're putting too much pressure on her. It's turning into a circus. Caitlin Clark's personality and character is not suitable for the WNBA. She just doesn't fit in.
Her Cult fans and the media put the pressure on Clark saying she's the greatest that ever played when she haven't shown nothing in the Wnba. They got mad at Taurasi when she spoke the truth about Clark coming to the Wnba. Clark best games are against the sorry teams in the league but the teams that are good that plays defense Clark is a no show.
Caitlin was tired and frustrated last night and so was Aliyah Boston. Neither one of them should have been subjected to the medias stupid questions last night.
That is not what I am seeing. In every interview, the reporters are asking Caitland 95% of the questions. This will only create envy from her teammates.
They need to bringin bluder they need ti stop the hate against clark it shows sides is a shit show and needs to goplay as a dam team team has potential dont hog the ball set the plays team play
To the MEDIA: Stop wearing out Caitlin with all your stupid questions. Ya'll asking her questions like she is the team Capitan or the Coach. She is a talented ball player. She can't always win games for the team. There are 4 other players on the court. Need to play as a team. Why dont you ask the other players why they arent stepping up their game. When are you going to ask the Coach when she is taking control of her team??????
It's obvious Katlin is top notch, but the Media is affecting team play,with the notion that Clark is a 1 Woman show, it takes a whole team to win... The obsession around Clark is a clear take away from team ball....
Why is anyone blaming CC? Boston absolutely sucked, and Wheeler is a total jokeâŠSides has no idea how to Coach at this level. Itâs not about CC! Boston got several easy layups and couldnât make them. Smith did the same thing! Hey CoachâŠyouâre the most inexperienced Coach!
These Indiana players canât set a screen to save their lives or pass a ball. CC is being double teamed the whole time and her teammates canât even open up
Why do these women have this illusion that they perform at a high level. They don't show the basic skills of basketball, rebounding, screening, awareness of who to guard. The only consistency in their system are turnovers. Once Caitlan gives up the ball, it's a free for all. This is absolutely a bad situation all around top to bottom.
She needs to be freed up to be great. She's being held back, being forced to make her teamates happy. They're going to be unhappy no matter what. She's being sabataged by her team and the league. I went to the game last night and after watching her team's attitude, I'm about to stop watching. They can blame themselves for losing viewership.
The reason Caitlin Clark had the reporters ask Aliyah Boston questions is not because she was upset with boston, its because she was upset with the reporters acting like everyone sitting next to her doesnât exist. I think Caitlin feels awkward while they are completely ignoring the other player sitting there.
Perfectly stated !
Youâre watching a team implode slowly before your eyes. Get your popcorn ready
Media has ruin Clark
Bull shit as sorry as theses players played Iâd b pissed to
Yes THIS.
This has nothing to do with Aaliyah and Caitlyn beefing. Itâs Caitlyn telling reporters to act like other players sitting there exist as well
That part!
I believe you need to dig a little deeper. CC is not welcomed or supported by this team , it's coaching staff...đșđžđșđžđșđž
Thank you, I agree. People always trying to make people hate CC.
exactly. The journalists are absolutely ridiculous. Even many of the questions were dumb--the kind of stuff you ask a high school student. These are pro players, ask pro questions.
Agreed. See how men love putting women against each other.
Honestly, i watched the post game interview. CC was asked a bunch of questions in a row, while her teammate was sitting right next to her. It makes sense that AB should also get to speak. I saw nothing wrong with that.
normal
All lies.
Yra, absolutely ăIt's a team game. One star doesn't win you a game.
Exactly, caitlin was just making sure aliyah boston was not being completely ignored. Caitlin is basically reminding the reporters not to ignore everyone else
You are racist.So AB should just sit there and shut up.Those days are over
Sides has lost all credibility
She's never had any
Took many to catch up
CC...."nobody gives me advice during the game." What??
It starts with coaching and now work to recruit players who can compliment each other.
U do realize shen not qualified so she never had any?
Sides is not on the court đ
She is not that bad. It takes time and she is better than an African American woman trying to ruin Clark.
There is no consistancy with Fever, and being a professional team it should be. Sides is mental
I donât like listening to this coach.
Yup...like nails on a chalkboard
To the Coach, whoever is controlling your decision to stop Caitlin Clark from running the Court, Stop listening to them, they have an agenda to destroy Caitlin Clark and Anyone else who knows what needs to be done to WIN GAMES!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN WITH HER! Stop listening to them and tell them you don't want anything else except to win games, Or move out of the way for her and let her pass you because she knows more about the game then You! You are only blocking traffic and holding up the whole team! And stoping the flow of ALL traffic đŠâ
She exonerates herself on losses and praises herself on wins . . . If she took more responsibility, it'd be better.
She is nauseating. They need to get rid of this coach..."YESTERDAY", but she's only 1 piece to this puzzle/problem.
They need to get someone like Coach Bluder, maybe a male coach like Larry Bird. Either could come in and correct this mess and bring strategy that will produce results...đșđžđșđžđșđž
@@joemateo9 Coach needs to take responsibility for the loss.
I think your assessment is way off on this one. The reason why she said to ask Boston a question is because they keep ignoring everyone else and only asking her questions, which has been an issue from the beginning.
You nailed it. The media needs to quit reading too much into every little thing that happens. When The Fever was winning, everyone was all smiles.
Yeah but the OP wants click bait. So he makes it up.
Maybe sh'e sick of being the default spokesperson for this clown show
That's exactly right. They are using her to explain their horrible performances... it makes it look like their loses are her fault alone. Aliyah Boston showed her true colors... look hiw she waived off attemps to get her to speak.. she outright refused. How despicable!
Agree totally . clarks sees her team mates act like clowns . sides is garbage . clark sees herself a professional . must be draining
And if theyâre going to be asking her all the questions then they shouldnât sit anyone else on the podium with her. Because a player on a team sport tends to better express themselves when theyâre answering questions by themselves than when teammates are sitting beside them. It just gets awkward.
I completely agree
she could and should use the rule change that the wnba just enacted to protect angel reese from the media and demand that she also be exempt from the media if so choses.đ
Itâs clear, that Caitlin Clark, is extremely disappointed with the WNBA, and their level of professionalism. Her teammates, and head coach, are contributing to her overall disappointment with this league!
That's unclear.
I agree it couldn't be any more clear.
Can you blame her. She us the most talented girl in Wnba and get destroyed by jealousy. đą

@@gejost unclear ? explain ! You can't ..
EMERGENCY.. ASAP.. THE COACH MUST BE REPLACED!!!!
I agreeâŠPut Trump in for Biden NOW!!!
No one person wins or loses. You win as a team, and you lose as a team. The coach is ultimately responsible for not utilizing the talents of the team and getting them to work together.
Yes although you also have to consider the other team. The storm probably is a contender for championship
That's where you and everyone else is incorrect, IN SO MANY WAYS.
I'll just start with the most important one.
THE WNBA, JUST LIKE THE NBA, IS BASED ON UNION CONTRACTUAL HIERARCHY.
COACHES MUST ABIDE BY THE CONTRACTUAL HIERARCHY WHEN DOLING OUT PLAYING TIME.
This is not high school ball, or college ball. THIS IS PROFFESSIONAL WNBA BASKETBALL WHICH IS STRUCTURED ACCORDING TO UNION RULES.
Sides, (EVERY COACH), assigns playing time, and thus team composition, according to contract status.
The players with the best contracts status get the most minutes, most shots, most opportunities, PERIOD.
All coaches can do is to allocate non-premium minutes to non-premium players.
Second, ROOKIES DON'T MATTER, NOT EVEN MS CLARK.
Caitlin will have her time, but it's after she matures into a woman, has an adequate team surrounding her, she has actual experience with the league, refs, rules, new players, and time allocations, adequate practice time, and after ALL OF THE TEAM develops a positive team chemistry, and after she advances into her second contract term.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATE VARIABLES, BUT THOSE VARIABLES ARRIVE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME, WHICH IS NOT ANYWHERE IN A ROOKIE SEASON.
Plus, Sides is brand new at her job, and no coach is qualified to coach Clark because no one has seen anyone like Clark, so many of the maturing variables that are necessary for Clark to improve, also relate to coach sides.
Even more? This first season is not just to tank for another top pick, it's also a filter period to see who can, and who wants, to be on Caitlin's team.
(I hate to call it "Caitlin's" team, but the fact is that it will be at some point.)
Sides has to learn her new position (which is filled with a ton of pressure), as well as figure out (along with management) which current players will fit with Caitlin, and which would be better elsewhere.
This means that the first season is partially to clear out the ruffage, but there is no guarantee that the proper pieces can be obtained in just one off-season, and even if they were, it still could take a few seasons for them to gel.
You people who are stupid and are expecting too much from Clark and the situation too soon, are actually more distracting to Clark than the Clark haters.
If you don't enjoy the games, don't watch. If you want to follow Clark for half a season, just move on.
If you want to follow Clark's CAREER, THEN CHILL OUT AN LET THE GIRL GROW AND MATURE. IT'S GOING TO BE A 15 YEAR RIDE.
No rookie has ever dominated in the way you stupid people expect Clark AND HER LOTTERY LEVEL TEAM to perform from day one.
It's your dumm, unrealistic, expectations that is piling unnecessary pressure onto Clark.
Learn the subject matter, be patient, or just move on to something else.
I'm so sorry that wnba is busy destroying the CC. This is so bad for young girls to watch.
The media did this to Clark and that team. Now watch them go on a losing streak
@@12ell47they are on one already. Itâs all over.. Sheâs giving up.
probably part of the plan
Simple whyte people whining about something again. Itâs annoying with you snowflakes
Most top draft picks end up on losing teams. Get over it.
Clark flat out said what is going on. Nobody is giving her advice, she wished. Mitchell isn't passing because Sides told her not to, or ignores the fact she doesn't. It's the coach period.
Have you seen video of practice? Sides mostly walks around with a clipboard and doesn't correct any mistakes.
Kels the most consistent on the team lmao
@@iam6thatthatiam consistent at being a ball hog
And whatâs crazy about that is when the sky played the aces they was saying how angel always gets advice from veteran players after gamesđ
@jaylucas8352 You are just a CC fan, so I understand why you would say that. Kels kept them in a lot of games when CC was jacking shots and not connecting. Kels way more skilled than CC with the dribble and can get to the rim and shot the 3. Can't hate on her game she a offensive weapon. CC predictable. She needs a screen most times, or she needs distance to create her shot long range. Sometimes people get so caught up over their player they don't recognize their faults. Kels the truth.
Waiving the 15th overall pick tells me the organization from the owner the GM and head coach are absolute imbeciles.
Thatâs an absolute insult to imbeciles everywhere
Very few picks outside of the first round ever make the roster. They had to waive someone once Dantas was healthy.
Yeah, but that somebody could've helped on defense. It's no accident Loyd went for 34. I think Celeste could've helped that. So much for Coach Suds concentrating in defense.
@@a2knycHORSE HOCKEY. they either want to win or not

Yep, I noticed that right away.
@@jaylucas8352 That's what it seems like, but I don't know for sure.

While Caitlin Clark is the one they want to interview most.. itâs disrespectful of the reporters to only ask cc questions when another teammate is sitting right there and not asking her anything .. I think thatâs whatâs going on
She sounded like she thought the press should ask question of her team and not just her.
Duh don't you see how sick she is getting of this whole circus..it's all bullshit

@@kathyshea2444 I think itâs endemic of the societal pressure for the journalists to focus on the bread winner.
I think they need trade CC itâs obvious that she donât get along with her teammates and her coach so she really messing up the chemistry if they can get a good player back in trade I think they would be better and they can get that headache of there hands her body language is terrible towards her teammates she talks in interviews in away to suggest that everybody else it the problem she seem only focus on getting her stats and she has the ball in her hands and she donât seem to want to do what it take to win when they were going through Boston and Mitchell the won 4 straight games but due to pressure from her fans for her to have the ball itâs damaging their team
@@Kingstepa_ CHEMISTRY! They were horrible last year 13-27. She is probably frustrated because she passes the ball and they miss a layup or turnover the ball. She is holding back her shots.
They need good leadership and Wheeler and sides aren't it.
Caitlin Clark looks sad and traumatized.
Noooooooo I love CC#22â€
You her fans traumatized her by making her the best thing since sunlight. She has to develop but you guys keep pushing it that she is a finished product already. You her fans and the Nadia did this to her. And she is partly to blame as well because she had not told her fans to cool down. So, thatâs so folkes.
@@alntr2872 not getting a fair shake with that team and coach
Literally. Itâs a mess
She not ready!!!!
No one coming to save this team. This is clearly by design.
This team lacks leadership from the coaching standpoint and needs it desperately. It's the only way that the players are going to work together as a team, with a coach that has that expectation and is going to plan a team game that Sides appears incapable of bringing to this group. Sides' substitutions are mystifying and her game plan isn't utilizing the talent on her roster correctly. Lots of platitudes and not enough planning.
Coaching is the biggest problem, but some of her teammates are not helping either. Mitchell plays hero ball and refuses Tobiasâs to CC, Wheeler sucks but surprisingly had an ok game tonight, Wallace should not be starting.l, and Smith is checked out, getting cooked. They miss CCs passes or donât finish when they actually catch the pass.
Lastly, they all need to play more Defense.
Sides sucks period.nothing else needs to be said.
@@rociojuarez510 absolutely. Her "teammates," and I use that term lightly, need to stop dribbling in circles while freezing her out only to blow layups. They also need to keep their heads on a swivel and keep their hands up, be ready for her passes. Now, don't get me wrong, as some of her turnovers last night were definitely very iffy, her fault, trying to thread the needle too finely. But I think some of the 50/50 passes in that game were a result of desperation on CCs part. She's trying to do too much because her teammates aren't doing enough.
@@kathyshea2444 Sides is not the leader this team needs to whip them to not a cohesive unit that will work together... Whether they like it or not. It seems like she has demands for CC individually but not for the rest of the team. At least, that's what I'm getting from her pressers.
@@barbiedahl agreed. I also get that Clark will have to work on her defense and overall game. Sheâs a student of the game and admits her limitations. But sheâs a talent that needs a coach to develop all her skills. Her IQ is high and that is intimidating to Sides. I hope in the off season 2 things happen: Sides and entire coaching staff is replaced, and Clark hits the gym and puts on some muscle, and also gets the rest she needs. Just 2 months ago or so, she was in college playing in the championship. Crazy.
this coach lying in our face we see you n this league n its sickening to watch youll sabatage caitlyns career the entire wnba sees to be in on it
If a teammate of mine was getting drilled in the HEAD which players with helmets get ejected for. She gets her eardrum ruptured. I would at the very least help her up and make sure the other team learned not to do that again and NOT by hitting someone in the head. Thanks to all of the other players including her teammates ordering this BS, they should be grateful people are watching women and it's not because of them or big mouth Reese who gets away with everything has since college. If she didn't have that special whistle (her term) she wouldn't be playing because she is terrible. CC's so called coach and I use that term loosely doesn't even protect her and she isn't letting her be herself. Most of Caitlin's turnovers are because her teammates can't catch a pass and if they do they miss the easiest shots on the floor. Because they are jealous of their own teammate . They should be watching Iowa film not their own. Hey sides call COACH Bluder .
Caitlin looks defeated fo sho
It's a lot of pressure for a rookie to be constantly interviewed as of she was team captain.
You can do right things and still lose. Other team is a stronger team

Why does CC have to go to every press conference.....there's other players in the team that have been playing in the Fever longer than she has. Media is why this is
happening. Give the girl a break
Yes. Hopefully the break does her good, her coach is awful
I think the same why is the rookies carrying this dumpster.
I have been saying the same thing
Don't you know they make a list of players on each team to talk to the media
Without Cailin the Media would not be there .
This isnât the first time sheâs suggested reporters ask questions of her teammates. Thereâs no beef between CC and AB. Theyâre both bummed and frustrated they lost and are tired of answering the same questions all the time.
Fire Sides, for the umpteenth time! They need a knowledgeable coach who can get these players playing like a team and leave their horrible egos home! If players arenât going to cooperate and play together put them on waivers. All you have to do is watch how the Iowa team played with that coach. Sides is just a mess and is further messing up CC, and the potential talent of the whole team. FIRE SIDES!!!!!!!
Culture starts with the coach.
Coach Bluder, maybe Larry Bird...đșđžđșđžđșđž
@@joemateo9 Wow! Can you imagine Larry Bird as coach??? Although Bluder would do it just fine!
Caitlynâs a very bright woman..She knows exactly whatâs going on in that locker room with her teammates. Much respect to CC for being the consummate professional. She knows there some things you canât control and thatâs her teammates and coachâs emotions!

I'm so tired of these post game pressers. The payers don't want to be there and we learn nothing new. Total waste of time for the media to try and get them to speak badly about someone. It's stupid

10:31 10:34 10:34 10:35 10:37 10:37
I think CC is feeling the pressure of being the face and savior of the WNBA. And the pressure is coming from the other girls in the league. She feels the resentment even from her own teammates.
Actually it's just the frustration of losing. She was the face of NCAA and knows how to handle it.
I wonder who fault that is
@@a2knyclmao. College and pros are different animal stop it
@@TRINIFLASHAJSOLDIE9231-lj7fb true. College womenâs basketball is a FAR bigger sport. Sheâs just not used to losing, same with all top draft picks.

On CCâs first three passes to AB she missed a layup⊠everybodyâs got to do their part
AB atleast did offensive rebounds and got them possessions which Smith, Wheeler and Wallace wasted
Boston should bounce her shots off of the backboard, she has NO finesse.
Boston back on that bum sauce
it's hard to believe that a pro could miss those bunnies. Caitlin Clark should have many many more assists if Boston could do a layup consistently.
AB had a poor shooting game. Athletes are people, not machines. They all have bad games.
Too much stress for one person to handle I donât know how Caitlin handles all the BS that goes on in the WNBA it wouldnât surprise me if she decided to leave the league.
She is free to do so. Her mental health is more important than basketball. đźâ€
She answers more questions than the entire team combined. Boston, while having lost weight and gotten in better shape is in no way capable of playing 5D chess with CC. Smith got owned 2nd game in a row. Team visibly is against her. She has stopped being fearless shooting with someone in her face. Is it confidence, is it team player mentality? She needs a true facilitator and shooter like herself to fully open her game. Mitchell HAS TO GO.
Fighting a losing battle!!
Disagree
Boston is very strong mentally
CC is being treated like she is team captain when she literally is a rookie.
It's not reasonable to always interview CC. She won't win alone.
AB and CC play well together
@@gejostand Mitchell ?
Last night she looked out of shape again. The pace is just to much for her at this point.
So youâre saying cc isnât mentally tough ? Maybe she should work on that. The great athletes never cry , they get better & figure it out . Stop crying & blaming the team and the coach this is pathetic
There is no leak , her mental status is good , Aliyah did not get blasted .Catlin did not explode . 4 for 4 Bullshit ! Over18,000 was at the game primarily because of Caitlin .She broke major records not to mention all the points she put on the board ! Her and her alone !
I don't mind the reporters ignoring the other players. But not Boston. Boston articulates very well and answer questions intelligently. The others I don't really care to hear from.
Yep
Yeah unfortunately it's pretty clear Caitlin Clark is definitely frustrated. Being that she's only 22 years old I'm concerned with all the pressure from the media asking more than expected. I fear one day she'll harmed herself or just step away from the WNBA for a while. She needs to take some time to compartmentalize. But that scene showing Caitlin not taking part in the teams pep rally, shows complete and utter dissension amongst the whole entire team. If it hasn't already you might here there was a huge altercation that ensued in the locker room. Depression,anxiety and frustration is no joke! That's definitely what we see here.
You are 100% correct...this team is the worst of the worst and nothing is ever going to change until you get rid of Wheeler Wallace Mitchell and Sides....
Clark was trying to have the media to be respectful and ask her teammates questions
What was the altercation about
You have an overactive imagination. CC spent years being the face of NCAA. She knows how to deal with media attention. The issue is losing, but that's to be expected from a team that gets the first round draft pick, which hasn't played together as others have.
âAnd you're in denial with the truth but hey thanks for reading.đ â@@a2knyc
So tired of the BS. I would love to see CC go off for 60 in her next game. Win or lose. Thanks.
All about CC, not a good strategy!
âthe strategy they have now ain't working!
That wouldn't happen in the W cause they would come at her with double and triple teams if she were hitting at that rate.
sides would not let that happen 2 shots in 4th qt last game ya think thats good coaching
đđđđđ ya ur a goofy!!!!!

How about Larry Bird. He's also from Indiana. ( French Lick )
âAWESOME idea !!! I 2nd that motion. Agree 100 %...đșđžđșđžđșđž
Wow, social media is so good at creating issues where issues do not exist. Catlin's comment was directed entirely at the reporters for acting like Aalyah was not even in the room and not asking her any questions. The comment was not directed at Aalyha in any way. Catlin was simply attempting to support her teammate when she was being dismissed by the reporters.
Why is it always Clark and Boston shoved in front of the camera (they should be limited to 4 questions each ). The team act like clowns . That's what you get .sides once again just defects defects . its terrible this dumpster
Caitlin HATES to lose. Don't expect her to be all chummy. She is focused on Winning. The greats in all sports when losing, are in pain. Do not be confused, this is part of fighting back to be a champion. The Storm out-hustled, played great defense and scored at will. Give them their due.

Boston had a disappointing game. She probably didn't want to answer questions either. I doubt blame her.
â@JE-IC But that's part of her job... Caitlin shouldn't have to answer all of the questions. That was disrespectful for Boston to waive off accepting questions, saying, " No, I'm good." That's unprofessional.

Boston didn't want no pity questions.
@@MrMjolnir009you canât be serious. For 3 mins no one asked her a question. CC had to tell them to ask her a question which they did. Why does she have to do that?
You're so dumm. ALL OF THESE GIRLS JUST MET A FEW WEEKS AGO.
Do you live and die for someone you met a few weeks ago and have no choice but to work with them?
THE ANSWER IS "NO", SO DON'T EXPECT FOR CLARK'S "TEAM MATES" TO DO ANY DIFFERENT, (AND DON'T EXPECT CAITLIN TO HAVE ANYONE'S BACK WHOM SHE JUST MET A FEW WEEKS AGO EITHER.)
IT'S NOT A VIDEO GAME. A SUPERIOR TEAM TAKES YEARS TO COMPILE, NOT A FEW WEEKS.
Honestly ... the best thing possible at this point would be for Caitlin to tell her erstwhile head coach that she is taking over control of this team, and that everyone who doesn't get with the new program, including Sides AND Dunn, are going to be purged. Straight up, tell her/them to go ahead and cut her if they want, her WNBA salary is peanuts to her growing endorsememt deals, and she'll be on the open market with any other team the moment the cut happens.
Seriously, what would once have been insanely selfish behavior is the only sane response to this greater insanity. Most of her team (Boston is a noble exception) simply does not know how to play fundamentally excellent basketball, and Caitlin does. She lobs full court passes right into teammates' hands. She dribbles at a full run down the court pulling a triple team onto her and tosses behind the back masterwork passes to ... teammates who instantly fumble it. She keeps on lasering passes to girls alone in the paint ... who miss layups from two feet away. She just shot 44% ... on only nine attempts, due to teammates refusing to pass to her, by FAR the best shooter on the team, when she somehow, some way made herself wide open. The opposing team just spent an entire game trying to double and triple team her, leaving others wide open all night, and undermining all their own psychotic bullshit that she's not a good player (bad players don't get double teamed; period). She is drawing sellout crowds in opposing stadiums that have literally never had sellouts for women's basketball before.
Enough.
Freakin'. ENOUGH.
Walk into their offices, tell them she's now The Boss, or she walks and tells the whole world that can't see the blindingly obvious exactly why. And if the whole WNBA hates her, she can literally go to a competitor league.
And first order of business: hey Celeste? Hey, yeah, great to talk to you. Listen, there's just been a slight personnel adjustment at the top, and the new leadership totally wants you back.
... Go ahead and laugh at this whole idea, haters. How many comments do you see by people who say they never gave a rat's about the WNBA until Clark? She should absolutely go on the offensive, she holds all the cards.
EDIT: Second order of business: Okay, enough, ask my teammates things. What things? Anything, I don't care, just treat them as though they exist, starting now. Refuse and I never answer another question you ask for at least a year.
Spot on!!!
đđđđđ Yeah right
Wrong coach wrong team wrong league
đŻ
Amen...đșđžđșđžđșđž
This pretty much sums it up in a nutshell!đ°
as an advise to CC..just get your points and your stats .. NO NEED to play hard and win a game for this shitty TEAM..
I agree. I remember Michael Jordan had his highest scoring percentage ever at 37.plus/game during his early years because he had no choice. So did Kobe when his teammates sucked he did not want to pass the ball and just loaded his stat line. CC is too nice. She has to go on a beast mode and focus only on the things she can control which is her abilities to score. She can not control her coach's questionable decisions and her motives, she can not control Mitchell's game not passing her the ball, she can not control whether they lose or win the game. She can only control what she does on the floor. Take 20 shots a game. Be the scoring champion as a rookie. The team is toxic in many levels. The owner of the Indiana Fever will lose CC and it will be its biggest mistake ever. Or not because either the are not ready to become an elite team and turns the market of the franchise in competition with the biggest markets like NY, LA, LV, CHC or they rather continue to be a mediocre team at least they feel comfortable that way in a small market like Indiana somewhere in the midwest.
đ
What? I don't want her to give up. Do you want to put up stats or win the games?
Her body language says she is protecting herself. Clearly doesn't fell safe/supported.
And she was using self comforting behaviors rubbing her arms, playing with her hair, pulling it over her face, shrinking down in chair... it's horrible to watch what this awful coach and untalented teammates are doing to this wonderful young lady.
CC did this before with Kelsey, too. She told reporters to ask Kelsey the last question. She gets tired of people acting like she's the only one there.

The Feverâs offense looks like a YMCA pickup game. Jacking up bad shots at the end of the shot clock. Sides cannot coach.

Imagine being Caitlin Clark. You are the biggest and best thing the WNBA has ever seen by far. You deliver an exponential increase in viewers, fans, revenue, and press and TV coverage. She gives everything she's got to her team and the league 24/7. In return, what does the League, her team mates and coaches give her? They treat her like dirt. This young woman has to be so hurt and confused. Her childhood dream is now a nightmare.
Yep... I'm a big Caitlin Clark fan. but I don't like the WNBA as a whole. It's becoming unwatchable. Clark is obviously depressed and not happy with her Coach and teammates... and I don't blame her... because they are trash!!!
If she was the best she would be playing like it. Fever s is not the only team losing.
Clark is apart of the team being trash! When has Clark stepped up to the great defensive teams in the league she hasn't because she's a no show! The girl get her stats from playing teams that are not good in the league.

You all do and thatâs the problem.
They won't win any games with CC shioting the ball 2 times in the second half.
I hope CC & AB can come back after this because they were clicking!!!!
I think Caitlin wanted the press to stop ignoring her teammate. Trying to share the spotlight with Aliyah. But this time, I don't think Aliyah wanted the spotlight because she had a poor game and probably didn't want to face questions about it. And the jerks in the media didn't ask Aliyah to comment in her conference player of the week recognition.
Yall seem ti not get it. They was clicking against the sorry teams in the league like Mystics, Sky, and lefraud gotta.
This fever owner would rather see this team loose than win the way especially the way this swamp creature coach sabotaging the games
Tax write-off...đșđžđșđžđșđž
The INDIANA FEVER âMESSâ Starts at The TOP. The INDIANA FEVER âNEEDâ The Best Top Quality General Manager available and The Best Top Quality Coach available for CAITLIN CLARK & The INDIANA FEVER, at the end of the Season. â TIME FOR BIG CHANGEâ.
Not at the end of the season. At the Olympic break. It would really frost my ass for Reese to get ROTY over Clark because she plays on a better team.
It is so dam time to get a better coach. This team has no defensive plan. It's stunning to watch.
I remember seeing Byron Scott, Mentor, Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant mentoring every young fella coming in the league. This is some tribal shit theyâre doing to her.
Donât disrespect Kobe. Cc isnât even close to Kobeâs level , cc is closer to Christian laetner level
Wait, she is the straight out of college phenom why would she need mentoring?
â@@shawnrigsby6534 Vote for dumbest post of the year. đđ
You're missing the point of the post đđđđđ
â@@shawnrigsby6534đ how was that comment remotely closer to comparing her to Kobe... it was about getting mentored...
@@shawnrigsby6534he would feel disrespected. He won in college heâs a champ
You can see Cailtin Clark look frustrated and tired of excuse
She should get over it and stop pouting . Sheâs 22, grow up & figure it out , she want red carpet treatment when she hasnât done anything in the league
ââââ@@shawnrigsby6534 Another poster who isn't watching the games or understand the type of player CC is, just hating as usual. đđ
âAgreed. This shawn person does not seem to understand the "TEAM." concept...đșđžđșđžđșđž
I noticed the team huddled up b4 a free throw and as soon as Clark joined them they broke it up.
Haters coming out.
AB had to leave social media because of CC fans đź and was getting death đ threats
@@brandonleemoss most of those "fans" probably never gave a crap about Women's sports, the WNBA or CC before now. Just a buncha racists, misogynists and homophobes latching onto her so they can complain and hate. Their deplorable actions have nothing to do with CC, though, unless you think she's influencing them to do this?
@@brandonleemoss
That's horrible. Boston is a sweet person. It's a game, not life or death. Anyone giving death threats on social media should be banned from using it.
@@richs6926 this actually happened at the beginning of the season when she missed the winning shot đČ
But I'm sure she's still getting it though, from my understanding the only thing she has left is a tick tock she deactivated her Instagram in her Facebook
Caitlin should play for NBA. This league is crushing her spirit
AB should have stepped up and helped CC during the press conference. However, she dropped the ball as she has done dropping her âdimeâ passes. I am very disappointed with ABâs lack of support.
I have been all season.
She isnt upset with Boston. She just tired of being the only talking.
Why ask CC about ball screens when she isn't setting them?
Because they want her to start blaming her teammates and the coachđ
I don't blame Caitlin. She has a terrible coach and even worse teammates.. She is clearly not happy with the crappy attitudes and trashball of this so-called professional league. Caitlin did not seem herself... and appears disillusioned. They are succeeding in destroying this incredibly talented woman. Shame on them all.
Good lord. You expected 40-0? They had a bad game. Just cause they win a few against the lesser teams doesn't mean all issues are solved. It takes a long time to do that.
She has a choice because she is a rookie and she has to learn how the game as a pro is play at pro level and she has not mastered it yet and she needs to take her lumps and learn from it and stop drinking on the college level Kool aid and be humble and respectful of her team mates because no one is going to lay down for her and let her have her way đđœđđœđđœâïžâïžâïž
I wonder if you would say the same if the Fever was winning?
Sides has got to go!!!! This is getting to be not worthy of watching, I hate it for there players. All sides is got is to blame the fans,media and everybody but herself. Sad
It really hit me when the Seattle Storm coach said in the postgame presser, when asked how Jewell Loyd can make so many shots with such ease, "I let her play any way that makes her comfortable", to paraphrase what she said. It sounds like CC would be very comfortable with a coach having that attitude. I don't see the other players on the Storm objecting to it either. I wish Sides would tell the team to pass to CC, set solid screens for a change, and let her go wild for a game to see what happens. It couldn't hurt.
I donât know how sheâs been keeping such a good, positive attitude during this season.
The team stunk mostly due to 22 turnovers. Like CC said, it's hard to have fun or smile during games like this. Her frustration broke through more in this press conference than in any I've seen. As you said, "she's been....", and I agree. This game may have been her breaking point. Temi played well and I'm so glad she's back, but the Fever just can't defend bigs well. Boston, Smith and Temi look physical enough to do it, but they get dominated when there is one aggressive big on the opposing team. I think they should double team that player and take their chances on giving up a shot from the perimeter, or they'll get run over in the paint like they did in the last Sky game. I only saw them do that once in that game and it resulted in a steal.
This team does not deserve to have Caitlin Clark on it this team should be riding a bus from now on. It's just disgusting how this team treats her when she gets knocked down who's there getting in the other players faces who's there to help her up. Each player do not deserve her
U more emotional then those females on that courtđđ
I knew it was just a matter of time when Caitlin's frustrations would come to the surface. They're putting too much pressure on her. It's turning into a circus. Caitlin Clark's personality and character is not suitable for the WNBA. She just doesn't fit in.
Her Cult fans and the media put the pressure on Clark saying she's the greatest that ever played when she haven't shown nothing in the Wnba. They got mad at Taurasi when she spoke the truth about Clark coming to the Wnba. Clark best games are against the sorry teams in the league but the teams that are good that plays defense Clark is a no show.
Caitlin was tired and frustrated last night and so was Aliyah Boston. Neither one of them should have been subjected to the medias stupid questions last night.
That is not what I am seeing. In every interview, the reporters are asking Caitland 95% of the questions. This will only create envy from her teammates.
In the UK they are allocated how many questions to each star for just this reason. I feel so sorry for these girls having somebody like Sides.
They need to bringin bluder they need ti stop the hate against clark it shows sides is a shit show and needs to goplay as a dam team team has potential dont hog the ball set the plays team play
To the MEDIA: Stop wearing out Caitlin with all your stupid questions. Ya'll asking her questions like she is the team Capitan or the Coach. She is a talented ball player. She can't always win games for the team. There are 4 other players on the court. Need to play as a team. Why dont you ask the other players why they arent stepping up their game. When are you going to ask the Coach when she is taking control of her team??????
This is so dramatic. Caitlin does this often. She likes to make sure her team mates are seen. That's just the kind and considerate person she is
This is just sad. Sides has collapsed this team and any chances of things getting better.
This is one of the most biased reports I have ever heard. I perceived Caitlyn trying to get the press involved with Boston.
She's one class act. I love that she doesn't through anyone under the bus. She lifts them up. Wish they'd do the same,
Caitlin forget that the horse(coach) is blind, just keep loading the wagon. Donât get frustrated
When an opposing team doubles or triples or blitzes one player theyâre saying the rest of your team has to beat us and we donât think they can.
Can they not talk without a cheat sheet. The whole time the coach is looking down while talking. Loser.
That's a stat sheet. Not the answers to questions. How are they supposed to know all the stats of the game?
It's obvious Katlin is top notch, but the Media is affecting team play,with the notion that Clark is a 1 Woman show, it takes a whole team to win... The obsession around Clark is a clear take away from team ball....
Why is anyone blaming CC?
Boston absolutely sucked, and Wheeler is a total jokeâŠSides has no idea how to Coach at this level. Itâs not about CC! Boston got several easy layups and couldnât make them. Smith did the same thing! Hey CoachâŠyouâre the most inexperienced Coach!
No one liquidates a topic like Jon. Lesss goooo!
These Indiana players canât set a screen to save their lives or pass a ball. CC is being double teamed the whole time and her teammates canât even open up
Why do these women have this illusion that they perform at a high level. They don't show the basic skills of basketball, rebounding, screening, awareness of who to guard. The only consistency in their system are turnovers. Once Caitlan gives up the ball, it's a free for all. This is absolutely a bad situation all around top to bottom.
She needs to be freed up to be great. She's being held back, being forced to make her teamates happy. They're going to be unhappy no matter what. She's being sabataged by her team and the league. I went to the game last night and after watching her team's attitude, I'm about to stop watching. They can blame themselves for losing viewership.
