FAILING TO CATCH PASSES IS NOT A TURN OVER !!!!!

[@profantalk]

Agreed but every turnover was not a missed pass and it's not just her, it's across the league! Seattle and Minnesota had 51 turnovers!!

Thank u

Caitlin actually was shooting those rare shots from the logo at 50 percent. Coach Bluder referenced this. Nobody has ever seen anything like this before. Aliyah Boston is around 30% next to the basket

[@brandonzzz1]

Respectfully disagree Caitlin Clark have not did any logo shots since she got in Indiana. She been taking pretty decent shots. Krista does not know how to coach a generational talent and it’s obvious she didn’t even even want to be a head coach. Do you research?

[@profantalk]

IMO CC has only had one bad game shooting game (vs NY). And Sides has nothing to do with not scoring in the paint. That's on Boston.

[@ronrimmer6753]

If you hate on your best player and even run the team (plays) to not use her talents is crazy

[@DdDixon-eq9nd]

My father. Used to say.... you got problems with getting eggs. Don't get rid of the rooster, get new Chickens ...bam! You got eggs!

[@profantalk]

😂😂😂😂

Yeah, I agree and disagree. You can't blame the coach for everything. However, when I watch the Fever I don't see a team coached to support Caitlin's game. It isn't a secret about how the Fever is geared to make vets happy which is why the first couple of games it was slowed down. This means Caitlin is a mix between Klay Thompsons' shooting ability screens and Larry Bird's passing. She isn't built to dribble around on her own and try to make her own shots. She isn't fast, but effective if set up. I don't see a strategy right now to do this, and if she played for another team, she would probably have 20 points a game right now.

[@Sheribahadur67]

You just basically said you can't blame the coach for everything but then highlighted the biggest issue and that is a team not coached to support CC's game. When Kelsey and Temi were in, they were dramatically better. I would start Kelsey and Temi over Boston and Wheeler. They played with more energy but it was the better mix of players, not necessarily the coaching, but maybe the coach is figuring it out.

[@Sharkay-gh2uh]

Well, lots of problems with this team. After 5 games, give both coach and Clark a break. I can’t believe the wildly off shots and out of control body under the rim. Boston is in horrible shape. Tried that slo-mo slam into the defender and seemingly afraid to up strong. Use the board. Keep the ball up high, jump and use the backboard. I like sides as coach over Bluder. Part of Bluder’s problem was letting Clark be the team. There’s 5 players. Clark is not the solution alone. Coming off picks…why bother setting one if it’s going to be half-way and not passing off it? Mitchell is so quick. Use that more and practice shooting from anywhere else except under the basket. Obviously those out of control wild throw at the rim doesn’t help the team win. #1 Smith is an excellent heads up player. She sees the court, has hands up and made some great passes to teammates. Develop her team effort and hustle with more playing time. I’ve seen only improvement in this team since game one. Let them continue to expand as a team and keep that coach. Bluder sure isn’t the answer. The coach that won at the college level was the one that said if you want to be a super star with scoring records, this isn’t the team for you. The non-Bluder was the winner.

[@HelloRealityCounts]

Disagree, if Sides wants to make those comments about CC then say it only to CC! Sides doesn’t need to do it via press conference! She was unprofessional!

[@jemimalouise8857]

I would hate to coach CC nothing to do with her as a player but the pressure that comes with it. With every loss my job is question and if we win it is all her you literally cant win. The fever has a chemistry issue and theyre up against teams that have been playing together for a year or more. Ppl need to give it time

[@profantalk]

The pressure on any new coach would be worse. Most "fans" don't understand the business of sports. How about we get at least 10 games in before we make major changes! Sheesh! (not aimed at you)

[@chevyyyyyyy]

Sides favor her loser vets over the winner CC which is bad for the W.

[@daisyhenry332]

No...she should not be fired...youre absolutely right...but now that her ex coach just retired...maybe they think if they fire Ms Sides...her college coach will come out of retirement and coach her again...folks need to face it...this isnt college and its a whole new ballgame...CC will get better in time.

[@profantalk]

What happens if they hire Bluder and keep losing? IMO this isn't a coaching issue. Aaliyah Boston has been "not good" down low and no one else has been shooting particularly well.

[@nebsimatovic2275]

21,20,17, 12 plus 4/6 rebounds and 4/5 assists,,,, dont see struggles there for a rooki😂😮😊

[@profantalk]

Turnovers are her kryptonite right now. Other than that she's been solid. Leading scorer 2 out of 4 games is legit. She only had 5 TOs vs CON but the one in the 4th was very costly! IMO Indiana's issue is not finishing in the paint.

[@chevyyyyyyy]

I pay to see Curry CC, not Tourasi CC. And Sides wants long 2s? Come on. She killing her spirit.
