Caitlin is doing well and Nick is right, she's doing great for a rookie. The problem is that her fans and some of the media are delusional and claimed she's the best before taking the court.

Her fans are also still salty about the LSU loss, like get over it already. Honestly if that never happened it wouldn't be all this hype.

In the contrary Angel Reese sat down on a press conference crying because she has been received all kinds of threats and racial epithets thrown at her and we all acted death. PLZ LETS STOP THIS WHOLE POINTLESS NARRATIVE.

[@LonghornsLegend]

They're just showing how she is playing currently get over it. They show everything CC so if she's playing bad that's what they show if she plays well they show that. That's essentially how it is for the most popular player since forever.

[@kylelittle8816]

​@mahametsoumounou8273 they been showing highlights long before she got drafted! These been the it thing in bball for the last 2 yrs! Ppl just hate cuz of the clout she rightfully gets and anyone who wants to see the WNBA succeed more, should shut up and sit down! They've never gotten coverage like this with Caitlyn, Angel and the other new girls! Bunch of old heads hating cuz their scared they're gona be overlooked and forgotten! Just like their fans! It's OK to do it for steph but not for Caitlyn! You woman sound sexist! 😂😂😂

[@kylelittle8816]

​@@mahametsoumounou8273and on Angel Reeses press conference, it's good she learned it young, but if your gona play the bad guy you get the treatment! Ppl do this and go way to far when it comes to sports and athletes but if your gona bring it on you have to learn to ignore it! Again on Caitlyn... just look at the numbers and the comparisons! Sry she didn't walk in and just be the best like all the haters want her to be! Give her a yr or 2 and she'll easily be top 5 in her league

[@richardgonzales3562]

If she was African American ESPN would hail her as the second coming. Corporate hate at its best.

[@oninjared9441]

The question is offensive total score for a duo not accomplishments just like awarding MVPs without a ring..😂😂😂

[@pappu33]

As a Mavs fan, I agree, lets not carried away just yet. Hopefully we can we a few chips and then we anoint.

[@Meacongains]

Caitlin is scoring 20+ pts and is still getting use too the higher level of play. On a side note... why is it Men that are now coming to the defense of someone who elevated women's sports... see a lot of women dragging her down.

[@anonimust8]

cuz women just wanna be on the side of things that men aren’t 😂😂 “RESPECT US ELEVATE THE GAME!!!” “ok sure” “NO NOT HER! NOT LIKE THAT”😂😂😂

[@phillipsosa3353]

Name the women that are dragging her down? They just speak facts about her. Facts aren’t hating or tearing someone down

[@facelessandnameless]

17.8 is not 20+

[@limitedbom2206]

@@phillipsosa3353wnba/ex-wnba players have gone around basically calling her overrated and dragging down her accomplishments. She got the most points in a college career? Well that’s because she takes like 50 shots a game, soooo…. But then they’ll go on and praise someone like Allen iverson even though he was a shot chucker. They just hating.

[@4sight719]

Remember when she was in college and people said she could play in the NBA against men? 😂 how fast the script changes

[@JR26JR]

Angel Reese taking shots at Clark on Twitter rn, keep that same energy! Caitlin gonna go Game 6 LeBron ‼️🔥

[@AudioAlcove]

Nah, she was in the finals two times in a row and couldn't get one ring out of that. I don't want to hear that s*** and Lebron got four finals MVPs. Let's see what Caitlin's going to do and her career and it's probably not that

[@Dj.Hylanda]

Angel was all sad when she was taking heat on Twitter, now she acts like this. Give me a freaking break.

[@patbenz4327]

What did she say?

[@1984hacked]

@@patbenz4327 Yea that is what I was looking for. I see she said 12th but that was the rank Chi Sky had, before beating the liberty. So, I am still looking. I think people are reaching for a reason to be mad. I could be wrong tho.?? Mean while people are posting "@larrycooper### Caitlin Clark owns you." under her twitter post.

[@zerostozeros]

Don't forget Gus Williams and Dennis Johnson

[@penkima4923]

Good call. Rajon Rondo & Ray Allen.

[@jtrack473]

Brou and Nick both said she would DOMINATE immediately. Now they're thrilled 17 pts a game with 32% from 3.

[@Gramps_Is_Him_023]

The Media’s refusal to criticize CC is ridiculous. It just shows she is being boosted by the media and cult fan for some reason. 107th in defensive rating and 106th in net rating. Leads the league in turnovers and turnovers per game. Scoring isn’t everything, and she isn’t even doing that efficiently.

[@FourScore460]

Caitlin needs to become a better passer. All her passes are either too short or too long, and she never passes into a shooters pocket

[@reilorenzo]

Just a few months ago y'all called her an unbelievable passer... pick a side people!

[@FourScore460]

@@reilorenzo who is yall, where was this said and by who?

If Luka is backcourt, then LeBron and D Wade should be in the list.

Damian Lillard & CJ McCollum were top 5 offensive pg and sg. Stats back it up.

I hate the discussion around clark. Everything touches this racism, sexism, wokeism, left, right, stupidness online war that filters to all the talk shows. My god we are so negative as a culture lol

[@kevintalley1158]

How tf Angel Reese shooting 35 percent tho that crazy work

[@CasualGamerPlays]

I honestly wish that Nick Wright was never involved in anything sports related. Analytics has messed up the sport and has given a way for people like Nick Wright to have a job, when they should've been working wall street or at some bank. His takes are horrible, he always uses "what if" scenarios and trying to rewrite history.

[@johnalexwallwall]

He’s one of Fox’s heavyweights, cry about it

You one of them cats that still believe the “eye test” when the numbers say someone is trash huh?

He has a lot of right takes. He uses eye test a lot and who dosent use what if ls. How many times have you heard jordan would have won 8 straight if he didn't retire.

Yup! Never understood that, You care updgrading to a professional level. Of course it is going to be harder. You know how limited spots there are in the W. All of them who get there are dope.

[@AlexKalogeropoulos]

Good job fam! We avoided a Friday show so that we didn’t have to give credit to the Celtics, so that if they lose on Saturday we can criticize them on Monday! I see you.

[@markula_4040]

Even if the expectations were not really realistic, Caitlin has been a minor disappointment. Doesn't mean she'll stay one but the longer it takes, the more it will hurt because people will tune out and for every X amount that do, Y amount will never come back.

[@kwilliams1958]

Frazier and Monroe should be at least in the top 3! Finally, Brou giving some love to Walt & Earl.
