Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Christie Sides after Indiana Fever practice - defense, communication

[@Green_Ghost_Media]

It's impossible to not love this girl. When you watch her play as a fan or former player, like I am - it's quite impossible to not see the separation between her skill and all but a few in the W, BUT... the most important part is how well-spoken she is, and how well she represents herself and the sport. In sports, great role models are extremely rare. Meaning: great player = great person. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Barry Sanders, George Brett, Tom Brady and Caitlin Clark. I could listen to her talk all day. Not about race, gender or controversy - she's just a sweetheart, with a great brain. Her parents should be unbelievably proud.

[@TruthMatters22]

Sides is no Lisa Bluder. Lisa is a person of faith who instilled in her players a wealth of life learnings. Bluder is special. I do not see anywhere near this level of leadership and wisdom from Sides. Sides talks about Caitlin being less selfish but with the attention she will naturally draw, if you wanted your best shooter to shoot more, you need to have the team work at getting her open! Iowa did this masterfully despite the attention Caitlin got in college. Good god - open shots for Caitlin need to be part of the plan - they will not just happen like they do for the rest of the team. But if you want to win close games down the stretch, you better get your head on straight and start multiple screening for her, so that the ball is in the hands of the greatest clutch shooter in history. Just take a look what Golden State does for Curry - this is not rocket science but for this team, it seems that this is over the coaches head.

The defense needs work, but you also can't leave Nalyssa Smith on Angel Reese for the whole game with no help. I feel like the coach is not talking about what needs to be discussed. Sides said she wished Caitlin would have taken a shot on the play with the loose ball. If you watch that play again, there are 3 defenders waiting on Caitlin and the only play was to Kristy Wallace. I don't like the coach calling out her rookie like that. Especially after watching the film, it was clear she made the right basketball play. How about the film that shows when Erica Wheeler enters the game Catlin never gets the ball back and the offense just bogs down. Still salty about that last loss :)

Love Aliyah's and Caitlin's positive energy and wisdom. Lexie was AU defensive player of they year 2023. Worlds better than Lexie. Sides saying it's all about communication, but she communicates NOTHING during time outs to her team during games.

[@rickpidcock7094]

Caitlin does a really great job setting a pick for her nose in this interview.

[@laurencresap603]

The Honda Cup award is going to make the haters even angrier 😅

[@KALAAHARY-to9lu]

[@Nate-vf2js]

Why she won it before and that was college u part of the problem

[@thelmaalmaden8131]

Defense is the key to win.

[@tamraml]

CC take the ball and get your clearance and take the shot; lower the assists and take the shots = more points = more wins; dont compromise your talent and abilities

[@kellypreston9366]

And that ladies and gents sums up the big problem...I love my Fever but they need/deserve a better coach!

[@catman1053]

So, Sides says that she has not congratulated Caitlyn Clark on her recent award? Does that sound like she has a good relationship with her number one overall draft choice?🤔

[@yusaqhwiff2442]

Was that Celeste draining straight buckets with Kelsey Mitchell during Caitlin interview? Holy Cow Free Celeste now!!!! 💔

[@charlesdavis7461]

She has almost lost her love of the game, no smile. Very sad. CC and AB my favorite players.

[@878Docto]

If you’re up 15 points, take clock out for a Breva put in wheeler for three minutes and then put clark back in

[@878Docto]

And also you ever hear of double teaming a player that’s getting her ass kicked

[@kimguy4159]

Sides has an all star defender who she makes sit on the bench

[@MsDebv]

The 'coach' not only threw her top player under the bus AGAIN today, she then freely admitted to the Pres that "No", she hadn't said anything to her personally about winning a prestigious award, ....you know, there was a group chat where she "got her congratulations", but yeah,she guesses she should say something to her. Totally inexcusable. Sides is not worthy of being the coach for this team, let alone CC.

[@brucee4634]

I like how Sides wants to focus everything on defense instead of the fact that they wouldn't get Caitlin the ball in the 4th quarter. Sounds like they need to focus on offense and stop doing what isn't working. Taking the ball out of Clark's hands in the 4th quarter was complete sabotage. Perhaps she is trying to get one more high draft pick next year?

[@kairandbellinger1973]

SIDES is playing the hidden Vilian Role really well. I wonder what sides get out of this? Its like she is paid to hold back CC.

[@TheEmpire365]

According to Christie Side "Its all Catlin's fault" when the media says anything negative about the team... smh

[@smoothblink]

Sides constantly talks about how important defense is but they just waived a DPOY in college after giving her no playing time...

[@raymondmaybery1516]

They need to upgrade to a better coach. I can’t believe she hasn’t spoke the CC about taking more shots and congratulating her on the award. You can tell she doesn’t utilize CC CORRECTLY🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Nissan300zxshowcar]

Time for the home team crowd to let Fever Mgt know how they feel about the HC

[@raijagat4905]

They should boycott the games until sides is replaced.

[@casilatino]

Celeste Taylor was released for Damiris Dantas.

[@JB-zh1tu]

I read that Dantas played in Turkey. Didn't Fagbenle play in Turkey too? I'm curious if they have played together in the past. If so, maybe it will be a good pairing.

[@DonnaDee-jz3ey]

Of course she hasn't congratulated CC, I don't see a CC shirt on Sides today?

[@johnnythunder196]

but I saw a " A Boston" shirt on her last week

[@878Docto]

How about not bringing in two point guards and letting the lousy one run the point while Clark sits in the corner

[@youme3778]

What are they paying you Sides? Make any money from that loss?

[@PatrickFordyce-b7c]

If I was Caitlin Clark if I am not shooting the ball then the ball will go to Boston or Mitchell only !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Kitishere12]

sides has DESTROYED her vocal chords...

[@bartell20j]

Her love for Walace is sickening

[@Oneanddone14]

Rumor is Sides and Wallace are a thing.

[@topgun298]

SO, team works on defense then they waive their best defender that they never use in the game.

[@cromwellcabalu6508]

Don't Wheeler and Wallace on the floor during crucial minutes when the game is on the line.

[@user-xn7tq1qh5r]

COACH SIDES!!! The fever played great for 3 quarters, but YOU blew it with your line up and play design the last quarter. Glad to have Temi back, but you HAVE a splark plug in Caitlin Clark. You just don't know how to turn the engine on!!!!

[@tonyedwards3938]

Sides is the KJP of the W.

[@soulbrother27]

I’m thinking Sides knows she is gonzo!!! I bet she is trying to get her girl Wheeler and Mitchell as much ball as she can before she is axed. Why Wales would Wheeler be given the minutes she gets ….and Mitchell playing her own game? I think what we all want to know is why the GM has not forced some changes in Sides? And why would the GM waive their best defender … Celeste Taylor ? And why didn’t Sides use her ?
