Caitlin Clark Sets ASSIST RECORD And Lexi Hull Leads HUGE Fever Win With CAREER HIGH 22 Pts

The Indiana Fever, with a huge game from Lexie Hull, storm back for a win against the Seattle Storm. Lexie set a career high in points and three point shots made, Caitlin Clark set the rookie assist record for a season, Aliyah Boston had a monster 15 rebounds and Kelsey Mitchell lit it up for 27 points. Let's talk about it.
Caitlin Clark, the #1 overall pick in the WNBA draft has completely upended the entire league. She's shattering records both on the court, in viewership, live attendance, and even merchandise sales. From selling out WNBA All-Star jerseys in mere minutes to selling out of her Wilson basketball 'Limitless" signature series in hours, she's revolutionizing women's basketball.

[@Willard-l7t]

Sheryl Swoops if you’re listening Caitlin Clark broke Ticha Penicheiro’s all time rookie season assist record of 225 was set back in 1998, Ticha set that record in 30 games (according to The Athletic)….Caitlin broke the record in 28 games (2 less, since you’re so bad a math), she’s 22 not 25 and this is just half way through her rookie season and no she has not been in the league for 5 years and that’s why it’s called her rookie season, she now has 232 assist with 12 games remaining. I hope this helps you get the facts (which are optional to you) straight on your next podcast.

27 games

[@Willard-l7t]

@@mattmunson1867 27 games for what. I count today's game as the 28th game of the season and according to the Athletic Ticha Penicheiro set the record in 30 games. The WNBA season was shorter during Penicheiro’s rookie year, but it took the Portuguese guard 30 games to reach 225. Clark exceeded that mark in Indiana’s 28th game of the season, with 12 more contests left to put that total out of reach for future first-years. from the Athletic.

I've been saying for a while that Caitlin can shoot from anywhere. She HAS and HAD a mid game. She just couldn't utilize it for the first several games because she was getting bitzed with no team movement....no kick out options. Now you see her baiting defenses because she has options with kick outs, dime drops, back cuts and skip passes like that long one to Lexie from the corner out to the top of the key for a triple. This team MUST run and run their offense through Caitlin. She is now making defenses pay for double and triple teaming her. Her teammates are trusting her and MOVING to get open! They finally realize they get open looks based off her great passing and teams over defending her. When any team doubles a player, someone is OPEN! This ain't rocket science! CDS is right with the running. The worst defense outside of opposing teams is Christie Sides! Good grief! If she would just take a page out of Lisa Bluder's book and let Caitlin be Caitlin, The Fever will keep doing well. Last thing, the officiating in this league is absolutely beyond terrible! I'm SO sick of the "cherry picking" calls. Diggins-Smith nearly took Caitlin's arm off on a "steal" and no call?! But next Storm possession they do their "make up" call with the moving screen. 🙄 CDS is also right about cleaning house from top to bottom. Please start with officiating before someone gets seriously injured! My advice to CC....please get a mouthguard!

Further, we witnessed HER team TWICE help Angel Reese stat pad to extend her bogus streak. They left her virtually unguarded AND did not box her out for rebounds for 3 whole quarters in one game--until she got her double-double. GTFOH!

Caitlin's basketball IQ is other-worldly, she takes several 3-pointers early and didn't cash in but it really doesn't matter because it puts the Storm on notice that if Caitlin gets really hot and begins making these, Caitlin has their attention and they must guard her whether she makes the shots or not, then she can do the rest of her skill set, her passing, her court-vision, setting up her teammates to get their "practice 3's" like Lexi, even Demaris got one but also her other teammates got hot as well because those shots and looks were set up by Caitlin's downhill gravity.

[@girlsrockiowacity9462]

The clock literally did not start between the two timeouts. Play did not resume with the starters on floor. Ridiculous to complain about that.

[@yes350yes]

The one thing quite noticable on Clark passing out of the corner to Hull, Clark was already heading back the other way even before the ball went thru the hoop, when you have a player that hot you just know it.

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@jesusgarcia-fk3es]

Perhaps going to the paint now will probably be beneficial during the playoffs because they might figure it out and be more dynamic.

[@john.daniel14]

Sexie Lexie was a killer Boston close to triple D Kelsey with another great night CC is the shit!!!

[@TruthMatters22]

“Paint touches” - getting the ball in if it is coming back out is fine but often we just see bad shots taken with people hanging on them. Great to see Boston with 8 assists as this is an example of the ball going in the paint and coming out to the open shooter.

[@leeboy7139]

Of the 6 teams ahead of Indiana in the standings, 3 have ended their season's series with Indiana. Indiana has beaten all three in the last game of their season series. Phoenix, Seattle, New York.

[@centexan]

Kexie was about as stoked as could be while sitting down in the after game interview. What a game for her and all the Fever.

[@MWLA2]

Best complete game by the Fever 🤒

[@alxbolt6225]

I think CC has a chance to break the all time season assist record, at worst she'll end up as the number 2 all time season assist leader. With 12 games left she needs to average 8 assists per game to break the all time season assist record set by Alyssa Thomas of 316 assists

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Yeah, it's going to be close. Think what she'd have without all the dropped passes and missed layups. Thomas may break that record again this year too, so it might be both of them.

[@dalebarnard1007]

Also Lexi is finding her spot on the team in addition to my comments on hull earlier she was all pac 12 3 times and when Stanford won it all she won the elite 90 award for the highest grade point average at the final 4 and she has a degree in engineering from Stanford she plays ball because she loves it not out of necessity with her confidence back I expect her to keep getting better they need a power forward

[@cooliscool115]

i’d say fever continue to practice 3point shots to be consistent.. lets go!

[@dwayneyambra1865]

You listed Hull's and Caitlin's points in the game ...but Mitchell was leading scorer for the Fever!!! Why is she ignored?????? I know, all you want to talk about is Caitlin!!!!

Slow first quarter.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Storm led 17-13 after the first quarter. 13 points in a quarter for a team that score in the 80's and had been scoring in the 90's lately is a slow start. Only 35 points in the first half but 33 in the fourth quarter.

Chicks Dig Scars Sports, Its weird not hving ur name 2 address. I just wanted 2 mention sumthin that I thot SHOULD get attention‼️ Rebecca noticed it & I noticed it immediately 2, CC... DID do sumthin in 2day's game that easily c/b missed due to all the 3s!!! She added a new mid shot‼️ And she DID it 2x‼️ It wz very cool 😎♥️ LOVED IT‼️ Rebecca actualy said, CC had bin workin on that shot durin their break!!! Rebecca added, how its always SO gratifying when u've worked on sumthing & then r able 2 add it to ur game! Ppl hve talked abt C workin on her mid game & it wz COOL how she didn't have 2 go 2 the paint & was doing just that‼️I'd literally watched on anoth channel, Liberty & Ace's game the oth day, curious w/ them being 2 of the best teams. Can't recall which vet player BUT she made the same kinda shot, & this guy also a CC fan stopped it, & said it'd be great if C added that to her game. He called it sumthin & Rebecca called it the same thing as well?!?! I may hve 2 go bk cuz its bugging me that I can't remember. I wanted to bring that to ur attention. 😅♥️ She's STILL a star! 🌠🌠🌠 Sorry, I hadn't watched the rest of ur video. I wrote it, cuz I thot w/ u giving sh*t to Clark lol 😂 that u might have missed the nuances she did add in2 her game 2day. The word I cldn't recall wz "FLOATER!!!" Thx‼️ U know a player is on a diff level when u c the little idiosyncrasies, in their game, from the big splashy plays. Yea, loved how C looked to the board, when she went throw 2 Lexi 4 a 3pter! I enjoy Rebecca as a Announcer except the ESPN thing abt stats?! 🤔

I think you are overly critical of coach Sides. The defense was top notch today and that is a result of coaching.

[@Smido83]

Also sticking with the lineup that worked was important. Keeping Dantas in (although she is normally a trainwreck), as well as Hull, in the 4th won the game.

@@Smido83 Temi hasn't played at game speed for a long time. It will take a few games for her to get up to speed. Just watch Sides pull CC and Boston out for a rest when she puts Temi in with Wheeler. Sides knows Temi and Clark play fast break basketball which is not what Sides wants. Sides has said several times they need to slow it down and grind it out. The opposite of what it takes to win CC style. To this day I still don't know why the Fever drafted CC. C Brink would of fit their throw it in the paint for points game.

[@ZenithDouglas]

Boston was 2 assist and 1 point from a triple double.

[@Canaveral_Videos]

The title of this video could have easily been: "Seattle disrespected Lexi Hull, determined not to guard her & FAFO" Lexi was also the defensive player-of-the-game! (game ball goes to her) Whoever guarded Jewell Lloyd so close also gets the second game ball. (Not Caitlin, this time, LOL) If A. Boston keeps getting 15+ rebounds & 8+ assists then the Fever will never lose again, through the rest of the 2024 season. My on-going complaint about Christie Sides is that she is in denial of one major point of reality. She should feel totally self-chastised & debunked for believing that her best FEVER team is a post-up team. Basketball, whether its little league, pop-warner or WNBA, is a game of 'match-ups' & the 'W' has the fever beat in the # of effective "bigs" in the league already. However, the success of Caitlin Clark Kent, as a field general of a lightning quick playing play-off team will make all those "bigs" in the f-f-en "W" 'straight-away' useless & obsolete. So, Christie, my dear, 'forget-about-it'.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Well said! Especially about Sides believing it's a half court post-up team. She's now the only person in the world who thinks that.

[@marcusaurelius5149]

Defenders have been over-committing to guard Caitlin Clark since day one leaving her teammates wide open. They should be making half of their practice threes.

[@nathanpayne5358]

The technical was for disrespecting the game. Why didn’t the storm coach get one? These refs are beyond terrible

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Agreed! No tech for Seattle at the end of the game for all that nonsense but Clark got one. Absurd.

[@DogSnapperIC]

Between the timeout called by Quinn to empty her bench and the timeout called by Side to do the same, the game clock DID NOT START. Play did not resume. The starters did not face the bench. Quinn's hissy fit was totally uncalled for.

[@MirrorOfTheSoul33]

Boston is just terrible in the paint with her back to the basket. Also the missed 3s of CC would have been a made mid range shot
