[@user-wo7dl6tb2q]

@jrayford8806 one could blame it on poor playing performance by Women; turnovers, missed shots forcing time outs, or horrible referees who can’t see a thing & have to constantly review on a small screen, or the fact that the WNBA is broke & everyone there’s a review or timeout it goes to commercials & that is AD REVENUE making them a bit of change to throw in the bucket.

Indiana has coaching problems. It’s clear the coach has no idea how to insert Clark into the offensive scheme.

[@jojodel60]

[@joeblow2426]

I think the offense needs to change. The offense should be built around the skills of the players you have, not merely try to insert a player into an offense, unless it already accommodates her skills. That is not the case here.

Offense alone does not win games. Everyone need to play defense

Where is all the put downs on Boston.People are say are saying she is slow,can't jump,low IQ,playing like trash and other things,like she should not be an olympian,and how was she an all star.To quote a famous singer"you must don't know bout"her.Please Google her.She won a title ,player of the year,2 defensive players of the year all and other accolades,all in college.She was coached by the great Dawn Staley and trains with Tim Duncan.She has a very high IQ.She came to the Fever last year that had only won 6 games.She doubled that to 13 last season.She averaged a double-double last year.She was and is the best defender on the team by far.Mitchell never got on an all star team until Boston came to the team.She was and is constantly doubled and triple team with different looks depending on the team.This year and last,besides Smith there is no other help on the boards or interior defense.And people ask why was she rookie of the year.In her 5 games this she has been matched up with Breanna Stewart,Jonquel Jones,Alyssa Thomas and Nneke.Now you add Clark,outstanding like Boston,but have played together in this system for 5 games.And I love Clark,but she made some mistakes too.What are people expecting?They played together for 5 games.And Boston has beefed up because where is he defensive help or rebounding help?I can only name Smith on the boards,but what about defense.Has anyone payed attention to Boston's block shot totals?Or how about how many times she sets screens for Clark to get up shots.Boston is not a transtiion player.Her strength is the half court.Get her the ball in the paint and let her go to work and draw fouls.Smith and Hull are the transition players.My point is,this is not a 3 woman team(Clark,Boston,and Smith).And Mitchell supplies nothing else if she does not score.Those three can't do everything.Winning championships is not just about what your stars do.Are the role players consistent?The league is at a point now where there is too much talent on each team to rely on two stars to win the game.And the coaching strategy is horrible.But I end by saying,its only been five games.Did people expect them to dominate immediately?Your expectations are too high.This team needs to work on chemistry with the goal being....Get to the playoffs.

[@howardscott8724]

"Clark WAS CLEAR and that inbound pass was way behind her." Absolutely correct. And that epitomizes how the team is operating under Sides. Along with no screens for Clark like the one she was given when she hit that three point basket in 1.5 seconds to beat Indiana.

[@nybiggs]

I tried slowing it down but the angle isn't great. It was thrown a little behind her, but if you slow the tape down the ball hit her in the hands and she dropped the ball. That should have been catchable. I don't think Caitlin was expecting such a hard pass.

And Wallace did that twice. She screwed up two chances for them to win in the last 12 seconds of the game. And look what she did after that pass to CC. She just stands there out of bounds and does nothing despite CC being covered by 3 defenders. Only Boston came to help her. People need to lay off of Boston. Yes she is in a bad slump but unlike some other players on the team like Wheeler & Wallace. Boston is trying to help CC, not sabotage her.

[@waldolydecker8118]

You get real...Clark has passed the ball behind players and at their ankles all season...hell, she's averaging 6 turnovers a game in the WNBA, which is consistent with what she did at Iowa, where she was a Big Ten turnover leader, averaging 5 TURNOVERS PER GAME FOR FOUR YEARS.

@@ljsmixbox44 - Clark is suppose to be the the GOAT....GOATs don't need a coach to tell them to go get the inbounds pass with 2 seconds left so Clark can take the final shot since Clark is the team's advertised long ball shooter. Clark would have to be stupid to need a coach to tell her that. Instead of doing what Jordan and all other great guard do, Clark sulked and quit. Not a center's job to go get an inbounds; that's Clark's, but absent Clark, Boston had to do it or the 5 second inbounds clock would have expired.

[@ljsmixbox44]

@waldolydecker8118 This is where you're not making sense in your comment. First of all...Clark is a rookie that's adjusting to playing in the WNBA, night in and night out rather every Saturday like the NCAA does. And a rookie is going to go through a lot of things in their first season as a professional basketball player. Here's the difference. When Jordan came out of college to play for the Bulls.. He had Phil Jackson, who is one of the best NBA head coaches. Jackson had seen how Jordan played at NC. And it wasn't long before Jordan became a captain early in his career. On the other hand... The Indiana Fever head coach failed to see Clark's talent when she was at Iowa. She's smart and aggressive. She knows how to move ball upcourt, and she can find players. Her IQ is high in basketball. Even Kobe had it rough his rookie season with the Lakers, but head coach Pat Riley let Kobe stay in the games so he could groom himself to play in the Lakers system. Kobe also became a captain early in his career. He wasn't the best in his rookie season, but the "Black Mamba" had become one of the best NBA players on the basketball court. He was a thinking man, like Jordan.. So you just can't dwell on the negative in Clark. I don't look at Clark, Kobe, or Jordan as the goat. That just brings up an argument. There are good players, better players, and great players.

[@waldolydecker8118]

@@ljsmixbox44 - Quit lying, clown...when Jordan was drafted by the Bulls he wasn't coached by Phil Jackson....Phil Jackson wasn't the Bulls head coach until Jordan's SIXTH year, so your attempt to make excuses about the Jordan comparison is based on your lies about Phil Jackson, so is a failure. Your "rookie" excuses for Clark are also phony. When Clark was at Iowa, YOU said she was ALREADY the GOAT...the greatest player ever and she was already better than every player in the WNBA. Now that you and the media's lie is being exposed with every Clark game, you are trying to distance yourself from all your early Clark claims. If Clark was already better than every WNBA player like you and the media said she was, then being a rookie is irrelevant. Stop trying to reverse what you had been saying for the past year about Clark. Now that you see Clark getting her azz kicked by multiple players across the WNBA, you full of excuses, lol. You and the media shouldn't have lied in the first place, then Clark wouldn't be failing to measure up to the GOAT label you foolishly placed on her. You got nobody to blame but yourself and the media for lying.

[@littlezeet]

Basically, in the final two minutes each team can choose to advance the ball without burning a timeout. No huddle, but can substitute

She has been hitting threes I don’t know what games you’ve been watching but as you saw she got double teamed, which she does a lot in games and on Iowa they actually ran plays for her to get open. They don’t do none of that here. I’m starting to think they might need a new coach. They’ve got two All-Stars on their team now and the supporting cast could be doing better but the coaching just isn’t there in my opinion. Having 2 terrible seasons, and then starting out 0-5 she needs to be replaced/fired. She does not have what it takes obviously. Plus Clark was doing good and she took her out a majority of the last five minutes and then they came back then she wanted to put her back in absolutely terrible coaching.

And she is smart & knows the game well enough to give insight into the plays of the game. And I've heard all the commentators praise Clark at times. My issue is when team commentators seem more interested in doing general promo for things the team or specific players are doing outside the games vs providing a play by play of the actual live game you are watching.

Bad inbound pass to Clark lost the game.

[@lyndalehampton9641]

It’s funny when it comes to Kaitlyn Clark nobody blames her for anything it’s always the other players. It’s the coach. It’s the referees stadium is too noisy. She’s a good player but she is making mistakes.

[@Geewasright]

That’s what cults do.

[@richarddodge9592]

This wasn't Clark's fault. A bad inbound pass was made to Catlin Clark to her left. Passer never led her properly but passed behind her to her left while she (Clark) was breaking right. Clark had to stop and lunge back to her left for the ball.

[@edstraight846]

Remember, this team 'earned' the #1 draft pick

[@Geewasright]

@@edstraight846 - about to earn it again with Caitlin. They’re on pace to lose more games with CC being the team leader.

[@comfortablynumb4491]

Clark couldn't get a handle on the ball and dropped it. Nice going rook

[@lilsleepdaking4590]

Kristy Wallace should not take the ball out ever again lol

[@jaysteele1118]

Coach called the right CC fumbled the ball

[@richarddodge9592]

Bad pass off to the left and Clack was breaking to her right.

[@carlosholganza4646]

nobody noticed the inbounder take a step inside the court before the ball reached any of the players?

[@jamesfender7381]

The tip was thrown behind the Seattle girl .

[@mr.ks.7083]

Boston has been playing like trash lately! Tips the ball right to Seattle!

[@coachfezz1137]

Wallace blew both inbound passes , the first one Clark would have threaded that needle for a layup and then Boston s dumb uncoordinated tip

[@nicholasmallard2926]

Always someone else's fault and never your Goat!😂

[@mikeekstrand8407]

Yeah the pass was behind Clark but in these situations you have to handle and make those adjustments, especially being a superstar!

[@Litehds]

How do you lose that jump ball?

[@NathanTransportLLc]

What’s up with darkening the areas where.there’s no fans, like above the 5th rows ?

[@rogerbranham5083]

Clark did not botch the inbounds pass, if you replay it the pass was fast and behind her, she only got a hand on it

It really isn't.

[@laurasolomon2491]

Not when 4 of the losses are against teams that made it to the finals and semi finals last year. Rebecca Lobo said that we should expect the fever to lose their first 4 or even five games due to their schedule being so challenging.

Clark is the best basketball player in the country right now.

[@douglasmarinelli956]

CC now called hands 🙌 of stone

[@georgestevens1502]

Indiana needs a new head coach. To not get a shot off with TWO inbounds passes is her fault. Instead she spent the timeouts looking at her clipboard. You either know what to do in crunch time or you don't. She didn't.

[@holyspirit7852]

Wtffffff is Chrissy sides thinking having that girl inbound the ball omgggggg she needs to be fired her choice of rotation is terrible

[@jameswoodend6029]

How did Caitlyn Clark drop that ball that was a terrible pass, she's going one way and the pass goes the other way?

[@waldolydecker8118]

They just threw her the pass the same way she frequently throws them the pass. Clark: Avg 6 turnovers per WNBA game. At Iowa: Clark averaged 5 turnover per game for 4 consecutive seasons. They gave Clark some of her own medicine.

[@richarddodge9592]

Bad inbound pass to Catlin Clark to her left. Passer never led her properly but passed behind her to her left while she (Clark) was breaking right.

[@nyeemasims6754]

That shouldve been a bounce pass on the inbound but either way Caitlyn blew it. Still a good game doe and they getting better

[@teodoroquindara7583]

As big as she is, she taps the ball to the hands of the opponent. She did not look at the positioning of her teammates. If she taps if going backward, they have 60% chance of getting the ball and quick long shot. Sorry CC22 the ball slipped into your fingers. It was a good play. If you controlled the ball well, at east you have split of second to execute a jump shot.

[@user-bz3qf5km3k]

tough pass to handle for clark to both catch and make a play. inbounds pass was off

[@pchange318]

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Why was Clark still on the floor after losing the inbound??????? And NOT up hustling!!!!!!!! C.C. IS EXTREMELY LAZY.

I guess if people are going to keep responding....... while the broadcast team says "great defense".. nobody was within 10 feet of her...and farther if she doesn't have stop for the pass.. Inertia and speed... she's not playing first base.

[@johnharbor8067]

Horrible pass by Wallace. The Fever can’t win without some help for Clark.

[@waldolydecker8118]

You've got it azz backwards, Scoobie.....Clark was suppose to be THE HELP. The GOAT...like Jordan going to the last place Bulls and immediately taking them to the playoffs as a rookie....or Larry Bird going to the last place Celtics and immediately taking them to the playoffs WITH THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE his rookie year. They did it with the same losing players from the previous year. How come Clark has no impact on her team winning like Jordan and Bird did? Jordan and Bird didn't blame their losing teammates or make excuses...they got the job done and took their teams to the playoffs. Too many excuses for Clark, when Clark is suppose to be the greatest player of all time, as you and her other fans repeatedly declared.

[@richarddodge9592]

Bad pass to Clark.

[@richarddodge9592]

@@waldolydecker8118 You need to watch the replay preferably in slow motion. It was a bad pass to Clark to her left and not to her right side.

[@Kenny.Irons23AU]

Yoooooo that might have been the worse pass in the history of passes 🤯🤯🤦🏾 she’s supposed to throw the ball where she’s going to be not where she’s at. CC created space with the defender, now let her run into the ball catch and shoot.‘she’s making that all day. CC momentum is taking her towards the corner three line, the other girl throws the ball where she was not where she will be, basic basketball IQ 🤦🏾

[@richarddodge9592]

Simply put a bad pass to Catlin Clark. Hard to handle.

[@Chozen1278_Gaming]

That was NOT a good inbound pass to Clark. The pass is suppose to go where Clark is going so she has the bst chance to get the shot off. That pass was behind her. The flipside is, Clark had both hands on the ball. We say this about football players all the time, if it hits your hands, it's a catch. Looks like Clark was trying for a catch a shoot.

[@richarddodge9592]

Wallace misled her inbound pass to Clark.

[@lucienberl]

Give it to Mitchel!!!! Theres magnets and Clark is becoming to obvious.

[@rickdavis8410]

Clark needs better teammates and a coach. Jordan didn’t become great until Pippen arrived.

[@waldolydecker8118]

You are a liar..Jordan as a rookie took his losing team immediately to the playoffs and every year thereafter...Pippen didn't get there until at least 4 years later....meanwhile Jordan took his team to the playoffs every year and went into the Boston Garden in his 2nd year and dropped 63 points on the top ranked Celtics BEFORE Pippen joined the team.

[@jeffwing8083]

That was 11 seconds of absolutely horrendous basketball! The teams couldn't even inbounds the ball and then that jump ball towards the end, holy smokes, that was terrible!

[@ag7043]

This is last year's last place team and they've practiced and/or played together only a handful of days. Give them time, and Grace (as CC requested) to get to know each other. They'll kick the pace up, learn each other's habits and hot spots. Stay on the couch and let them - and the WNBA - grow.

[@dr12evil]

that tells me you havent looked up their record,nor watched their games.. last year they won 13games.. 2020-2022 they won a total of 17games in 3 years.. there are 13players on the team 5 of them were there 3years or more..they wont make the playoffs again and after next year i dont see aliyah wanting to stay and get hate every time caitlin fails.. i also see caitlin leaving in 3years to goto ny,la or chicago the big market teams
