If Clark was on a team that had some talent around her it would look a lot different. She is constantly getting double team because the teams she is playing against aren’t worried about any one else on her team
If she did, she wouldn't be on that team. She's a #1 pick. Don't make excuses. She will be great, but it's gonna take time.
Aliyah Boston is getting pounded by the bigs. Come on. Yall are really delusional.
The excuses are strong with CC fan. They have all types of conspiracy theories going on in dark room and small spaces.
@@TJrules299 Go look up Malaysia Fulwely highlights. At 19 years old would have the fever team looking like milk and honey. Boston needs a point gaurd like that. Iowa never had a true big. 👍
@Gator -xi2jq - Exactly ... They don't have to worry about anybody else on that team, because they're Not stepping up.
They jog up the court, they don't spread out; they look like a bunch of rookies, themselves!!
I'm sorry, but it's hard to believe that some of them are the "best in the world"!!
I don't think they like the Newbie, getting so much attention.
It's kinda understandable, but Clark is glad to share the spotlight.
She just wants to Win!!
The Coach is Clueless.
Now we know why the Indiana Fever was picking first. They have a slow lazy team with a Center who is glued to the floor. They cannot run which 30% of CC passes is from beyond half court last year. She cannot throw passes to spots because her teammates cannot get to those spots. Saw something last night that I was anticipating before she was drafted. I thought the opponent would set up a defense that would make it impossible for CC to play against. Also her teammates would not pass it to her much of the game. They also would not screen for her. They would not fill the lanes on fast breaks for her. They trotted down the court.
The same center that won rookie of the who is only in her second season it's really clear you know nothing about the game,ur hanging on Clark n ur feeling r hurt 💔 they disrespected the league n those players did Michael Jordan n took that shit personal 😤 people like u n the media put that pressure on Clark
Last 7 years the Fever have been in the basement. Christie Sides took the coaching job in 2023. Boston was drafted in 2023. The Fever won 13 games, 8 more games than 2022.18 to 20 wins are needed to get to the playoffs. Boston and CC will get it done.
Boston looks absolutely terrible and CC looks like she's ready to pack it up after 2 games. Playoff aspirations for this team are lofty.
You’re definitely being a hater towards CC. You achieve too much to hate CC.
She was KILLING against the aces the other day.She had like 6 or 7 3's on great efficiency.
Taurasi is the GOAT are we surprised
I am a huge CC fan, I now like Taurasi, a lot, so knowledgeable, obviously a great player, but most of all…. funny, great sense of humor, btw, agree guys, she is fantastic. 😎 JP
Leads the WNBA in scoring. Most threes made. A goat.
I love this woman , down to earth , smart , funny , honest and is seeing CC frustrations she is doing extremely hard on herself one of the most important things i think she said was not to lose the “ joy “ of the game , everything she said was spot on she has been in CC shoes CC will be fine
@@mischievoustimes8460 I am aware, I am only talking about, as it relates to CC, and the remarks, but no big thing, moving on.
@@jonathonpalbicke6122 already
lol! I hope you haven’t forgotten why the Fevers got the first draft pick?? lol!!
When Caitlin Clark adjusts to the WNBA's speed and physicality, she will be alright.
Yep. She was already more physical last night than she was Tuesday, so I think she’s learning pretty fast.
Which what DT said to begin with and some of y’all lost your minds lol
Caitlin Clark she will be the queen of basketball she just happens to be on a rotten lazy team with a coach that don't know how to coach love always for Caitlin Clark🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
yep
Yes the Fever are the worst team in the league. Hence they had the first pick two years in a row.
Idk wat the coach is doing. They have not been in the playoffs for 6 years. Have the worst record the last 2 yrs. And the top draft pick 2 yrs in a row.
Yet she has based her gameplan against crappy players instead of setting up the Combo of Boston and Clark to gell together
But the new fans may lose interest in the wnba before Caitlin either gets a new coach or a new team.
Well, as Diana said she went to a great team so its different experience, but there will be dome adjustments.
I owe Diana Tarasi an apology. I took her comments about Kaitlyn Clark wrong. I understand now what Diana Tarasi meant. Basically caitlin is going to be a star. It’s just going to take a while.
The other thing caitlin has a problem with is her team is not very good
lol! I hope you haven’t forgotten why the Fevers got the first draft pick?? lol!!
Check out how CC is smothered compared to these veterans play. What does that mean? Either her scoring capability or it is purposeful.
its called defense lol
@@dude8273 check out Diana game…then go check out CC.
Listen. If ur great ur great. It will come with hard work and always pushing forward
I believe CC will be news for greatness it just the beginning of good things is coming ❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely enjoy watching CC play basketball. It's thrilling! I'm glad that people are now, seemingly, beginning to understand what Diana said.
Diana- reality is coming.....caitlyn will take your records ! THAT IS WHY SHE TRIGERS YOU SO MUCH.
Caitlin needs to stop paying homage and take control. The competition on the perimeter has not changed. Getting off the ball is not what Caitlin needs to do. She needs to woman up and let the league know they have a new sheriff
Is Taruasi Backtracking a bit
Not even a little bit.
Not at all. She was right and that’s that.
lol you want her to just kick CC back in ? She’s struggling already no need to pile on
No, she dutifully doubled down lol. She is just stating facts 🤷♀️
Come on she is backtracking some. Wen Bri Stewert came to the league she had to learn too. But Tarausi gave her positive feedback.
Not the jealousy cause Clark got Millions from Nike.
Tarausi better get behind clark. Like Stewart and Ionescue have. Pump up the confidence of the young rookies entering the league. Dont let them win. Bur dont hate on them cause she is popular
I want D to transition to coaching, and I want that transition to happen now with her taking sides job.
I was thinking the exact same thing
lol! I hope you haven’t forgotten why the Fevers got the first draft pick?? lol!!
The opponent are playing harder because it is her
CC Playing w a bunch of losers in Indiana is hard. Turdrasi should understand that.
She over there and they still losing. You bring 2023 iowa to the wnba and they would get destroyed.
While Diana Turasi’s and those other WNBA critics message is true about rookies coming into the WNBA, you have to blind not to see the malice and contempt they have for Clark. Clark would be wise not to turn her back on them and I have a dim view of the current WNBA culture.
@richardmuniz7886 Just seems like facts to me. Seems a little sensitive to be worried about anything else.
What malice and contempt. She didn't say anything wrong or mean. She was actually nice about what she said because usually she's an a-hole. She, bird and plum gave very sound advice.
@@pushinp157facts
Soft

CC fans mad as hell thought she was going to come in wnba and have a field day want to blame everyone but her don't work that way no I in team
As a fan....Has anyone like DT rambled on MORE about another player half her age? Enough already. At some point there is nothing else to say. Worry about your team and your schedule, please!
Diana Taurasi was right.
REALITY is here.
Haters need to apologize to Taurasi.
lol! I hope you haven’t forgotten why the Fevers got the first draft pick?? lol!!
The hatred from the WNBA is absolutely disgusting!!!
Grow up and give the new players a chance, rookies do need time to adjust to the new level. If you’re bashing them, and not supporting them….
You’re embarrassing yourself!!!
All this drama for what?..the B in WNBA should stand for bricks.
No one watched Taurasi when she played (and she's almost white)
It will never translate if the coach is just gonna have her in the corner with the ball out of her hands. Caitlin is getting 8 shots. If this is gonna be the game plan, I'm no longer a fan of the W. I have watched several games other than Indiana, and they are just not exciting. No logo 3's = no fans again. If not for Caitlin, I would literally not know anyone else's name. The other big notice is that the game is officiated like the NBA. Stars can travel in plain site like Stewart shuffling both feet at the 3 point line last night and then driving to the basket and making a basket and drawing a fowl. It was so obvious but uncalled. That's not basketball. Every call should be judged equally whether you've been in the league 10 years or in your first year. The whole send a message to Caitlin attitude will also cause fans to leave. If Caitlin isn't at least somewhat close to the way she was in college, the W will go right back to where it was. I'm getting g bored with it after 2 games. When Caitlin goes to the bench, I change the channel and wait for her to come back in. Cameron Brink is OK to watch, but she has a completely different game but is actually being used the way she should. Caitlin needs a coach who will allow her to run the offense and create shots for herself and her teammates. She has some of the best ball skills out there if not the best, and she is playing off the ball, getting a shot every 5 minutes. Shooters need shots, and this game plan ain't working.
excellent points all around
No fans?!?! Have you seen the Aces play? Lol
Clark doesn't need advice from Diana Taurasi. Part of her problem now is listening to too many people. No, Clark doesn't need time to adjust to the WNBA. She''s been practicing against grown men for quite a while now.
what a bully - did a grea player publicly dump on her when she entered the league? must have
I honestly heard nothing that implied she was dumping on CC. If you don’t like DT that’s fair but there’s no smoke or fire here. She’s usually a lot more gruff but she was pretty chill for her.
You said it because you are a hater..
You think she'd have the will power to stop talking about Clark at some point. When players on my fav teams obsess about another player or team, it's never a good sign for that season. Focusing on the wrong things.
This league will fail ......... book it
She is no star
Please who are you again?? Ohh the one that looks like a 🧙 ha I just started watching LBGQXYDS oops WNBA Game bc of her last year n listening to you,old raggedy is funny?? I think this girl is gonna take over this game within two years. U go cc
L
Diana still a troll & Clark is the GOAT! 😅
