Yeah, it’s going to take some time for this team to jell. Clark has played in a system for four years that is transition, push the ball. Not many players on this team have played at the pace Caitlin did at Iowa. They’ve had limited time to build that chemistry and figure out what pace will optimize the talent on this team the most.
@laurencresap603 Caitlin is used to it but the coach and the other players on the Fever aren’t. They said as much in the video. It threw them off. They will get used to it quicker if they practice with the noise and they’ll figure out how to communicate within the noise. it would be an advantage they do not currently have.
Indiana has some amazing thoroughbreds ready to overwhelm the league. Give them love and support, good food, good practices and good rest. They are top notch and will perform when they are turned loose to judge themselves and overcome their obstacles.
Bingo! Well said. Indiana's "amazing thoroughbreds," with more working together in practice, will bolt ahead with real teamwork. They know they have a chance to play at the high caliber of which they are capable. They will go for it.

That first game was fantastic coach Christie !!! BRAVO 👏 👏👏👏👏🏀🏀🏀🏀 Also, maybe you should get some brands to pay you as much as the media is speaking w/ you. Collect some of that cash coach !! 🏆
I dont watch WNBA(now I do), I now know about 7 players by name. Lexie Hull, Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink(LA) Aliyah Boston, Erica Wheeler, Arike(Dallas), Sevgi Uzun (Dallas - Turkey Player). We are now starting to tune in and see whats up, who can play... Id would have liked to see CC use her pivot foot on that blocked shot at the end of the game. She could have spun towards the left with ball in her right and pump fake- pivot, maybe dished to Boston. Other than that, good job WNBA. We are all tuning in.
@@rogerhartman5629 , Im sorry, let me clarify. I was talking about on the lay-up that got blocked(at the somewhat end of the game). My apologies. The layup that was blocked where she drove to the basket. That was the critical shot to make which would have changed the pace and outcome. That was really not a good lay. A spin move/pivot is critical in that situation. Please go see the play and watch, thank you for your reply.
Coach, it seemed like Dallas had a gameplan. Hard picks, pushing and grabbing CC. I believe this is the way the league will play CC. It would help if the Fever would do the same thing to their guard. It is important that the league understand you have her back. You attack our player we will do the same. I am not saying it was dirty because it was not. This is a league wide Clark Rules just like Jordan Rules.
As an alternative, the coach & Fever's talent can develop ways like, when two bunch up on Clark, Clark is such a floor general and the rest of the Fever have explosive talent, so they can turn things into a 4 on 3 advantage. Not easy, but I'll bet they are working to exploit such moments. Nail the defense a few times & it'll back off.
Its hard to play your best when those around you can't keep up and don't set screens or make cuts to basket!!! This coach talks the talk but not getting her players to do what they should to help Clark in a game. No or too slow screens, no cutting to the basket, no hussling down the court, Clark having to wait for team mates to get down the court to make a play!!!
What you are talking about are system oriented and chemistry critic's, which will get better with time. You have to remember they have only been practicing for a week.
Work-Work-Work Make Adjustments, Fine Tune, You All will get there. Loved The 1st Pre-Season game. Outside shooting was Good, Transition pace good, but Need more Passing the Ball around to keep Opponents off guard. We have Outside Shooting Threats everywhere, But Would Sincerely like to See more Stepping up By The other Tall Players not just Aliyah, Moving into and Underneath To The Basket area Forcing the Opponents’ Defense to have to adjust and focus on multiple Threats close to The Basket. Because Dallas was all over Aliyah mostly by herself under the Basket in the game. Looking Forward to The Next game. Thank You Coach and Fever Players. Lots of Love for All of You! Go Fever!
Coach Side... With 24 sec on the clock you know the standard play is to delay and get the clock down so Indiana cannot get the ball. You know they're going for 2pt or 3pt. Next time you in that tied situation... immediately foul .. don't let them own the clock... and make them shoot for 2. You have a 75% chance they only make 1pt. Now you own the clock and have 22 or 23 seconds with the ball, they won't foul you guaranteed. Now you have the advantage b/c your best shooter has a greater that 75% chance to score and win the game... give the ball to your best shooter and go for 2 or 3.
The first game was amazing! As time goes on the team will naturally build chemistry with each other which takes time, but they’re already playing great together. Can’t wait for the season to begin. Let’s go fever 🎉
Fever will make the playoffs.... GO FEVER!!! Ladies don't make me a liar!!! GO FEVER!!! GO Gracie, GO Caitlin, Go Aliya, Go Wheeler, Go Lacie, GO GIRLS!!!
Right off the bat of the beginning of the season, they were getting right into closed game... Playing on the road and NOT with a Full tank of gas in the case of Kelsey Mitchell and Samuelson were NOT in the game. I said Fever is taking that every day. Go Fever Go. Love this young, energetic and talented team. Fever Will win a lot more games this season.
Christie was surprised by Caitlin asking for a substitute already in the first quarter but...I think it was probably the enormous excitement and adrenalin rush for Caitlin that was wacking her out at that point. I doubt that it was a lack of conditioning---unless the fact of not having any real off season between March madness and this start of the WNBA season is draining Caitlin's resources more than she realizes. But if you ask me, she was just over-hyped with excitement about her first WNBA match and just needed to chill a bit to let her adrenalin levels subside to human dimensions. :)
I wish Czinano was with Caitlin, they have great chemistry, knows where and when CC will throw the ball and Monika always finish it. Coach should let CC handle the ball teamates protect her so sge can shoot. Aliyah should rebound more and be more aggressive.
@@twig4590 Aliyah is a force, 6'5" 220, MVP in All Star game, with heart. If she was a little slow in the Dallas exhibition game, not to worry. She, like all the Fever, has pride to really move up this year. Caitlin and Aliyah are a dynamic duo in Indiana destiny.

There will be chemistry issues on this team. Put Clark at top of key as the QB. 2 pg systems never works. She's gettin' run ragged off 🏀 Boston needs to rim run 2 give CC22 space.
I like coach sides a lot the team is in great hands people have to remember good things take time. I thought they played vary well and CC proved she can play at this level. The things they need to improve on are all based around chemistry which will come with time. They looked good for only a week of practice.
Coach, some reporters are trying to pump you for info they can expose to the opposing teams, please keep your game plans guarded, for your own good. You have training tips that are awesome and will work for your players, but need to be only for your players and closed practice sessions. Losing your voice-take care! Peace
Now I realized why the Fever drarfted 3 guards, the pacing was brutal on guards. CC was gassed and needed some more rotation until she gets more conditioning. I can see a path forward that we play with small lineup (3 guards) until we can find another wing shooters other than Katie Lou. I can see CC needs more conditioning in order to run the floor and shoot her transition 3s. Someone else also needs to run with her to receive the pass inside for layups. Even such greats as Taurasi takes plays off which is why she had the break up with Skylar Diggins. Celeste and Lailani better develop quickly, even famous rookies like Nika Muhl don't have a guaranteed spot and she will likely be cut. Most fitting of a Geno coached players. With the injury to guards, there is an opening to secure a spot. I understand Coach Christi's strategy but she needs to pull the trigger on second unit taster to conserve energy for 4th quarter. Keep running.. running... running. ❤😂
@@evilsimeon dude, it's people like you that don't want CC to succeed. CC is fine in taking positive criticism in order to improve. Why do you think MJ spent so much time practicing and was always the last one out? Just listen to Christie Sides interview post game. She was shocked that CC asked to be subbed out in the 1st quarter because she was gassed, something she had never sawed CC ever do. It wasn't CC that needs improving. More teammates needs to run with CC.
@@nikitablank4198 Agreed. Therein lies where everyone needs to make the transition into the pros. Each individual must make their own transition to become their own version of a complete player. Unless your name is Diana Taurasi, whom continues to play defense like crap but can get away with it cause she acts like a Coach.
Agree! They need Catilin to do what she did at Iowa and build the team around her and let Caitlin run the offensive side of the game. She has great court vision and she knows how to communicate in a large crowd environment.
Dunn and Sides would have picked Reese, a lesbian activist over CC if ownership hadn't stepped in. That team from Dunn to Samelson to Boston want to make an example of CC, not for her to make an impact.
It bothers me that they were blaming the crowd noise. It wasn't a sellout. They had 6,000 some in attendance and it only holds 7000. Wait until they get to some of the bigger venues like Target Center when they play the Lynx. trust me games are loud for lynx games. And I don't believe the noise would bother Caitlin. That's all she has dealt with for the last year. They are just making excuses.
E Dub not a lead pg. Hopefully Coach Sides doesn't persist with that bc she'll be out of job by Olympics. _Don't try to help Caitlin, let Caitlin help you._
Totally Agree - She needs to build her play around Caitlin to make this team jell! Caitlin for one is used to crowds so she knows how to communicate. Plus letting Caitlin set the pace will give them the fast play they need to be competitive and make these other teams play at their pace not vice versa.
@sulleys1929 they're gonna build the team around CC22 any way.. might as well give her the 🗝now to the Franchise and ST🔴P resisting. Until Caitlin is running the show.. Fever don't actually know what they have as a roster. It's like drafting Caleb Williams #1 overall then asking him to play wildcat QB a few times a game til like week 10 when team will be out of playoff contention Give Clark the full time reps at pg that matter. Let her learn by the fire of trial n error. Can't keep kicking that can down the road. I thought Erica her stats but was an awful PG. Coach Sides giving vets a 🤏🏼 too much leeway in a szn of change..
E Dub is and was really good and was far from a detriment in that first game, but she's only starting while Kelsey is out anyway. That said, it's gonna be hugely beneficial to CC and the team as a whole for her and Erica to get a leg up with their on-court chemistry while Kelsey is out because playing them together during the season will help relieve some of the pressure Caitlin is undoubtedly going to face throughout the year, and letting her play off ball at times will help keep her energy up over the course of the game (eg. Haliburton with the Pacers, or a million other examples in basketball).
Players can't keep up with the new Clark game coach, you find players who WILL and CAN. Missing perfectly placed shots and looks is NOT an option or ok to win.
With a hyper creative type U draw the lines | ... | and just let them 🎨 the 🖼 picture as they see fit on a blank canvass in between the frams. CC22 iQ will eventually map out the W and _then_ U can apply restraints. If U rein her in too early she will just get frustrated and feel like she's underachieving. A traditional Coach like Sides will really struggle + likely fail with this type of approach.. but the payoff for the fever is that seemingly unaware artist will one day figure it out, the lights will go on and the rewards 🏆🏆🏆🏆 will be enormous. Let Caitlin _do Caitlin things_ as she learns the boundaries of the League. It's better to happen sooner than waiting for later which will cost a lot of ppl their jobs and players will be traded anyway.. Double-Edged 🗡 dealing with this level of genius.
Boston and Clark have to build the chemistry on and off the court. I kind of feel like they aren't working hard enough to build that chemistry. It is Boston's job as the team leader to make sure Clark feels like she is really a part of the team and valued. I think Clark is feeling all the pressure and isn't getting the support she needs from anyone on the team including the coaches. I think EW is trying but even that seems a bit artificial. Clark loves to play and when she played at Iowa you could see the joy and that she was having fun. Right now It seems to me that the joy of it has left her and she is just doing her "job".
Boston HATES Clark, she's made that crystal clear since the draft. The freeze out is already underway as the franchise save for ownership doesn't want CC to make an impact, they want to make an example of her.
Whats so toxic about Caitlins following is that they will blame everyone around her..they WILL degrade her team and coach. These are new fans of Caitlin and NOT the WNBA. These people believe that the team should be built around Caitlin or for some reason she doesnt have enough. Iowa was not a bad team, when you have a player that will take 40 shots, to me.. thats a red flag because once defense was changed with Caitlin it was proven she could not score. This is just pre season real WNBA fans that have followed this league will tell you that the challenge only intensifies. Calling out rookie of the year Boston, and her team..stating they are not good and cant keep up with Caitlin when Caitlin was the one who looked at her coach because SHE couldn't keep up with the pace of the W is an entire slap in their face. I will tell you this..C.C did not bring a "good" following. Men are watching who have never taken a moment to learn the style of the W..women are watching who honestly dont have a clue about sports. Put these two groups in a room, and you have the most prideful mean hearted following. I know the WNBA is excited, but this is not the following they've been waiting for. These are not authentic fans of the WNBA, and if this team loses, they will praise Caitlin and literally tear down the entire team. Caitlin fans are toxic. I would rather the WNBA go back to how it was then to embrace this. Never has it been a black and white thing, but the new following have been degrading other young girls based on their skin and popularity. This isn't good. Her following alone will destroy the Fever. This was not the exposure the W has been waiting for.
Smart for coach to push transition game with CC's passing ability. If the wings can get out there, CC will find them.
Yeah, it’s going to take some time for this team to jell. Clark has played in a system for four years that is transition, push the ball. Not many players on this team have played at the pace Caitlin did at Iowa. They’ve had limited time to build that chemistry and figure out what pace will optimize the talent on this team the most.
Conditioning , run , run , run , chemistry will get there...chemistry=better shots and passing.
❤
Caitlyn's defense was pretty impressive, she defended like it was a game 7 in the playoffs!💚🍀
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed
Most certainly.
That''s a major thing to see in Caitlin. And in the post-game interview, Coach Sides says Caitlin is really working on defense. We're talking all-pro.
Take care of your voice Coach!
Haha.. Caitlyn got something to do with it?? coach Bluder had the same voice strength....
Coach actually sounds a little better than last season @@philipmtran05😅
Maybe they should pipe in some loud crowd noise when they practice. It could be a big edge against teams that don’t regularly face this.
College basketball has a larger audience than the W. They're used to it
@laurencresap603 Caitlin is used to it but the coach and the other players on the Fever aren’t. They said as much in the video. It threw them off.

Clark loves to play and when she played at Iowa you could see the joy and that she was having fun. Right now It seems to me that the joy of it has left her and she is just doing her "job".
Boston HATES Clark, she's made that crystal clear since the draft. The freeze out is already underway as the franchise save for ownership doesn't want CC to make an impact, they want to make an example of her.
@@b-zoneonroku2020You have absolutely no proof of that. Ew, why did yall follow Caitlin here. Her following is so hateful and prejudice
@@b-zoneonroku2020 It kind of looks that way. I feel sorry for Clark the only thing she has done is be GREAT! and they hate her for it!
Boston was so slow and out of shape and never in right place! Oh God! How could she be so bad after last years all star nom?
she's tanking to get rid of Clark.
Whats so toxic about Caitlins following is that they will blame everyone around her..they WILL degrade her team and coach. These are new fans of Caitlin and NOT the WNBA. These people believe that the team should be built around Caitlin or for some reason she doesnt have enough. Iowa was not a bad team, when you have a player that will take 40 shots, to me.. thats a red flag because once defense was changed with Caitlin it was proven she could not score. This is just pre season real WNBA fans that have followed this league will tell you that the challenge only intensifies. Calling out rookie of the year Boston, and her team..stating they are not good and cant keep up with Caitlin when Caitlin was the one who looked at her coach because SHE couldn't keep up with the pace of the W is an entire slap in their face. I will tell you this..C.C did not bring a "good" following. Men are watching who have never taken a moment to learn the style of the W..women are watching who honestly dont have a clue about sports. Put these two groups in a room, and you have the most prideful mean hearted following. I know the WNBA is excited, but this is not the following they've been waiting for. These are not authentic fans of the WNBA, and if this team loses, they will praise Caitlin and literally tear down the entire team. Caitlin fans are toxic. I would rather the WNBA go back to how it was then to embrace this. Never has it been a black and white thing, but the new following have been degrading other young girls based on their skin and popularity. This isn't good. Her following alone will destroy the Fever. This was not the exposure the W has been waiting for.
The W has NEVER made a.profit!!!! Maybe they will this year. Thank you Caitlin.
I like high pic ISO it helps develop Mis matches and quick rotation 📄...lol
