that's actually a great idea!

What has she won?

@@erob19623 big 10 championships in the past 3 years and final 4, final 2 championships.

Seems like she has a three pass minimum for every offense I feel like I am watching Hoosiers......but the first half of the movie...

She seemed hesitant with the ball early on. I was trying to figure out if it was due to nerves or second guessing herself because of the coach. Based on how she’s performed under pressure in the past I tend to think it’s the latter

@@Stryyder1the offense is terrible. Get some bigs who can or will run the floor! Boston can't run the floor. Iowas post ate her alive last year because iowas posts ran the floor.

So now she knows better than the coach? Y’all are wild. I think this is great. I am happy it’s going this way for CC. Oh whelp

I mean, she is the coach. Of course the coach knows better. It’s a team sport at the end of the day. She’s not winning games by herself.

@@tycoon214 As I mentioned, the Fever isn't exactly a top WNBA team. Now if Sides had a good record last season and this loss came, it might be an adjustment period. But she's been losing since last year, and even with a star in her team she's still losing. This isn't players' issue anymore; it's a coaching issue.

@@Milliardo5 Stop it! The Coach didn’t make her have 10 turnovers that was Clark fault. I agree the Coach is not a good Coach but Clark also need to be held accountable! The media and her cult member fans put too many expectations on her and she’s not living up to it. I don’t think she will ever dominate the Wnba she will be a mediocre player her career.

@@LaLa2time Of course Caitlin made turnovers, but is she known for making many turnovers consistently? That has to be taken into account. She's still adjusting to the new system. That being said and you never denied it, the coach's ways leave much to be desired. If Caitlin adjusts in the next games and they still lose, then it's more than evident this is a coaching issue though even now I'm calling that based on Sides' track record.

Most came in the 4th when down by 20 clean up points don't mean nothing she have 7 points going into the 3rd

The lady had her prison on lock down got hurt. Then she scored. Fun fact

She no goat

Bad coaching plays a big part

Exactly!

This team reminds me of the Worriors, that haven't won anything for 36 years , and then up comes Stephen Curry, Bang!!!? 4 rings.. This team would eventully get there

@@user-bn1xy5if5q They had to fire the warriors coach first. The fever coach needs to be fired. And CC needs another co star. Cause everyone on her team is TRASH. AB is so fat and slow. A team that is comfortable loosing won't go anywhere. For the Indiana team it was just another Tuesday, for Clark she saw it as a disgrace.

@user-bn1xy5if5q I totally agree, and who is one of the many NBA players who sing CCs praises? Steph! Why do you get 1st draft pick two years in a row? Your team sux. Or if you read between the lines your coach sucks! It was her first game yet she still scored 20pts in 3 quarters of play. She will continue to adapt, but Sides won't! Get rid of her and get a coach who will actually perform and COACH them into the upper tier team they are capable of!

they did 10 turn overs. Give her time man she will be great

LOL! They did. She got locked down…without double or triple teams. She just stands still and doesn’t flow into offensive sets. They’ve got the reigning rookie player of the year n their squad. They don’t need her to play heroine ball.

They did she shoot a lot of bricks. And had good accuracy throwing the dall to fans and the defense of the other team. She had ten assist turnovers

Another word for handcuffs is “defense”. The defense locked her up, not the coach… 😂😂

She's a rookie ... relax.

No. That’s the other way around. Clark just drifts to perimeter and does absolutely nothing. Aliyah needs to take over now. She’s rookie of the year for a reason.

@@cole8165 LOL!'''

Bingo. Seems to have no idea what guards do. Plays them all with apparently different rules for each one. A very confused coach making a very confused team.

Coaches lead with sound plans that work well. Sides has no sound plans and can’t figure out how to utilize the talent. New coach needed. Indy won’t stand for this “ no plan “ coach to stay past May.

It’s her own fault, she got locked up

@@ReactNotionher whole team got locked up, they weren’t moving around or getting any cuts collectively

No your mad. Charms tissue sells will skyrocket with all this crying yall doing 😂

Stop it! They came to see their home team win. They have a proven star in Alyssa Thomas. Carrington exposed CC the whole game.

Surely and you and many, many others simply do not know anything about basketball and rookies. This is the pro, buddy.. C.C. is a rookie; she needs to learn and grow. Sure, sure you and many others expected and overnight success and WNBA championship. Not yet. Perhaps within 3,4,5 and/or six years.

Cry more Caitlin fanboy. She is just average. She just the female Tim Tebow.

So true. Their going to need to build a team around of good caliber players.

EXACTLY I've been saying that all along

Nope she’s the goat right ain’t that what y’all said? She shoot like Curry ain’t that what y’all said? Ain’t nobody trying to hear y’all lame excuses. And then you had the audacity to say she can’t win it by herself she ain’t even the best player on her team she’s actually making the team look worse with them 10 turnovers she had. The fever picked her as the number 1 pick but she playing like a second round pick. The only thing she helped the Fever with is selling out seats but once they keep losing that’s about to be over.

I think that's the whole point of this whole debate is she's not a team player and she needs a team even in college she didn't have no team players that's called excuse you must will win that's what we're waiting on

@@LaLa2time do some research search Jordan's and Curry's first ever NBA game. Just a hint they both loss for starters!

Exactly… she is gone soon

Her coach knows its a team game and all of Caitlin flunkies wants her to be the man and shoot every shot like she did in college...but that wont work in the pros.She will have to share the ball and take less shots for this team to be good.

@@mightymikec7 Bottom line Caitlin is the future of the WNBA... Everyone can hate her but she is ushering in fans and higher contracts. Coach is gone Caitlin is the future

@@LabelMeInfinity How can one be the future when she sucks now? How long will the hype lasts when her team loses every year and she doesnt play likee she did in college?

@@mightymikec7 LMAO that is exactly what she is doing now passing and not shooting.... You obviously don't like her and that is fair, but if you are going to defend a system that has absolutely zero positive results I don't know what to tell you. You don't draft a player like Caitlin and handcuff her game. She is a proven passer and plays within the team but she needs the freedom to play. Coach is gone and your comments will age terribly....

No one is changing the game for her you people are crazy.

Imagine coming into a league and everyone is endorsing the firing of a coach b4 the 1 game she has under her belt...she had 10 turnovers but it's the coach's fault🤔 What is the name of this Fandom cult ?

@@CainCorsoit’s sad man lol

​@@bobby12348but at least call the fouls.. talking about changing the game LoL

They been fouling for years. She will get slapped around a lot. Some will run her over and nobody cares. It's been that way. CC fans welcome to the W.

Give 22 the green light...let her run

She has mentioned to Sue Bird that shorter shots are harder for her than the 3s. Why a long 2? That is DUMB for a coach to say. You might as well shoot a long 3? Long 2s are not easier than long 3s because the D can get on you.

If she had taken that three, there would have been two defenders in her face. Her hesitation caused them to check up, so she zoomed around them. Love the armchair analysts (not).

@@fast1bike the coach is going to ruin her game .

BS: her college usage rate was 40%, this game it was 41%. In college she averaged 5.1 three pointers, this game she got 5. She played the exact same as she did in college, the same shots the same holding the ball, same same. The only difference is if you're going to be a one woman show you get slapped down in the WNBA the way the Sun's backcourt slapped the Fever's down.

@@colpul2103 stat wise sure but playing with confidence not there especially if the coach is trying to fit CC in her losing system.

Com'n now, she got most of those points in the 4th quarter when the other team took their starters out. 😂😂😂 Well, she did set a record just like y'all said she would. The first rookie ever with 10 turnovers in a single game. 🤔🤫🤣🤣🤣🤣

And crap movement by teammates

@@richarddixon6352 and her teammates gave her no angle to pass the ball to them…. Imagine a rookie player is being double and triple teamed..

Blame the team for her mishaps? Good lord. It's her first game. She said it was physical. She has to and will get things down. When Iowa lost, everyone blamed her teammates. Good lord. Everything doesn't always go her way.

Oh get use to it. It’s gon always be someone else’s fault when it comes to her

She's not in a good place. her coach wants to run the same offense as before as if she isn't C. Clark. Trying to turn CC into another type of player.

team sucks dont blame the coach

Nall Clark sucks she supposed to big the goat it on her.😂😂

Caitlin had 10 turnovers. And she was the worst defender on the floor

@@mikemclaughlin1756 Exactly why did the Lakers coach get fired that team made the playoffs?

Caitlin sucks!!!!!!!

No one ever talked about CC playing on one of the worst teams in the WNBA.

Saying she needs to be fired 1 game into the season is and idiot's take. Let's see what happens in the next few games.

@@ReadR00ster1 she was the coach for the worst team in the league last year..

​@@FUBAR1986it was her first season as the coach too

Iowa WBB season ticket holder here. I can tell you there is ZERO chance Lisa Bluder would ever coach the Fever or any other team (college or WNBA). Her letter to fans tells it all, her husband is now retired and she wants more time with him and her family. The BIG10 is expanding with the west coast teams next year and that means more late night games, longer travel time and more mate night flights. It seems to me (as a retired person also) I can relate to her decision. She is done coaching.

@@ronm6359. Same about season ticket holder. She might do a few years.

Boston seems lost. Is slow. Gets 2 or 3 travel calls. She plays Post with back to basket below foul line. PG passes ball to her she turns to shoot jump shot. Moves pivot foot. Traveling. She had same Traveling calls in preseason. She needs to play😅 better..

Get her the ball in her spot. She is getting limited touches trying to set screen after screen to get CC open. You can't get into rhythm that way. CC a good player but running the offense through her will hurt the team.

That would help. Doesn’t seem Sides knows how to get best results from her players. CC should handle ball less. Saves her from unnecessary wear & tear. She needs to get 10+ point shots per game. Doesn’t Coach know about Double Screens? Her play calling is terrible. Everyone knows that opposing teams are going to increase their physicality & try to put a hurt on CC. There is no flow. Too much one or two man plays. Sides needs to either change her style soon or she must go.

Sorry. That's 10+ Three Point Shots...

@@vincentboemio8679 yeah, looks like it took sides all of one lousy year to ruin Boston. Losing seems to be the culture for Fever.

The other players on her team seemed slower than CC.

@@amyr.8283 The fever are not a good team but CC was horrible last night, especially the first half. She is going to be a great player but she needs to make adjustments in her game at this level. Sabrina Ionescu struggled her whole first year, the adjustment will not take long for CC but she just needs to change up a little

So Diana was right about the learning curve?

I don't think so. Smith had 13 points and the remaining players, single digits. How Boston only have 4 points? CC played more minutes than the rest of the whole team, so if the rest of the team is already adapted, why the getting rest?

@@user-yd6wv8wd8h You can't have a horrible game and still be the leading scorer of the game. She made some mistakes but the rest of her team is a huge problem!

How you put 10 turnovers on coaching?? Turnovers are player mistakes. She got to be better at point running her team and getting players in position.

How’s it the coaches fault ?

@@ReactNotion Hell, it’s the sports media and her fans fault

Well good for you😂 thanks for the announcement 📣

user-xn7tq1qh5r I enjoy watching her too. But is hard cause she lose all the time.

Do you think even her own team is asking her to “pay her dues” in the league first?? Making it hard for her to play her game, putting her in positions so she’s more likely to fail? Seems they’re killing her confidence

@@saxismyax I certainly hope that’s not the case, but it sure did look strange, the number draft pick, sitting there open, and not getting the ball. I’ve had time to listen to folks and watch more of the game and her performance. So… she did have 11, 3 point attempts, and being her first game, and the Sun is the real deal. I didn’t realize they were so good. All that being said, I’m Caitlin fan, proud bandwagoneer, I just feel like, you get the no. 1 player in the draft for a reason. No time to pay dues, winning is most important. Watching that game, and I just recently understood that the Fever have talent, but honestly watching that game made me think of a little league team, boys and girls club team, where the coach just wants to give everyone a chance to play. Winning is what matters, if you got a Jordon, Bryant, James, or Curry on your team, shameful not allow them to be themselves, be great and help the team win.

The coach is giving bad advice. The long 2?!? NO!!!!

No one is going to change the game for her .

CC needs to be a better PG!😮

🤣😂

It’s a shame the media not talking about that

Majority of her points came in the 4th when the game was already over They kept her in the game when there was no way for them to come back as to how she got 20 aka clean up points which don't matter only on stats

Turnovers no rookie ever accomplished that

Her teammates had 15 turnovers, so it wasn't just Caitlyn with a turnover issue. It's kinda hard not to have a turnover when you're double and triple teamed.

Phil Jackson didn't make Jordan or Kobe. If phi was so good why couldn't we win with no other team. All phi did was run a triangle offense which was hard to defend not their personal game

😂😂😂 Jordan didn't agree with Phil triangle offense at first until his teammates and Phil told Jordan if he wants be successful he has to buy into the triangle offense dummy. Jordan's first coach let him take all the shots and they couldn't get pass the the 2nd round of the playoffs and Jordan was mad his first coach got fired for he let Jordan take all the shots and phi was the assistant coach that help get Jordan first coach fired and Jordan didn't like phi for that dummy.

Go learn the story of Jordan and phi Jackson dummy as to how Jordan didn't like Phil at first cause it took the ball out his hand and forced Jordan to play with his teammates nothing to do with Jordan game cause Jordan was putting up point but couldn't win in the playoffs cause he was taking all the shots and not using his teammates and that when phi took over and made Jordan run the triangle offense

Yea they did. CC had half of them by herself though

​@@yennydude3768Team had 25.

@reprobatemind6194 you're rt. Still 10 TO,s aren't good n no rebounds. They just show the good stuff. She'll be fine though. Won't be like that every game. She'll adjust.

@@yennydude3768 Agreed, for comparison tho. Alyssa Thomas on the other team had 7 TO out of her teams 15 TO. Thomas is a 32 yr old, 10 yr vet - facing minimal pressure compare to what was applied to the fever and clark. Different standards if you win the game. Clark will be fine, her teammates... who knows.

@reprobatemind6194 true. She not under the same pressure the media has put on CC. I watched her in college a lil. She gets ripped alot and not used to good defenders. Yea she dropped 30 on SC. 18 in the 1st quarter. 12 rest of the game. Once she adjust to the speed n handles. She'll do what she does. She dropped 20 the other night, but Carrington was on her till she went out. CC showed she cn be aggressive after that. The media making her a target. CC really cool bout everything. She'll be fine

I wonder if this coach could have coached pistol Pete, I suspect not at all or Iverson or any other player who attacks she is wrong for this job

Crack kills 😂

You said a mouthful. CC made 20 with so little support and others taking forced shots blocked easily..

Well… if the refs are unfairly tagging Caitlin with fouls, they must have a professional death wish. Whether or not Clark ends up being a WNBA superstar at this stage is irrelevant. The fact remains it was her unique and record-setting collegiate career that has created this fan interest and ticket sales boon… and nobody’s buying those tickets to watch her sit on the bench in foul trouble.

She was last year and they didn't loss by 21 when the ball was going to her . Funny how she scored less and the lost by 21 CC SCORE 20 and the lose by 20 if I'm a coach I'm telling my team keep the ball from down low and let CC score 20 and we can win by 21

@oneone3983 they only won 13 games too. So.... she soft inside. They were scoring on them inside. The need to set screens and do pick & rolls to get CC open shots. She dropped 20 in a bad game. She will only get better.

@oneone3983 plus the Sun were 27 - 13 and ranked with the 3rd best defense and she dropped 20 on them in her 1st game. If this Coach can call the right plays. She will win rookie of the year, lead the league in scoring, and break the single scoring record.

She already got paid millions on NIL endorsements in college and now has multi million dollar contracts with multiple companies. She's fine financially.

Money will never be an issue for Clark. 28 million from Nike is just the beginning for her. The WNBA, however bad it is, is a better chance at building a legacy than the Big3. I never heard about the Big3 before this year and still don't know much about it. Clark can have a 20 year career in the WNBA and we'll remember that.

@@clarkkent1521 Clark is miserable already. And it's one game into her career. Cheer up, Cait. It will only get worse . . .

@@xenialafleur Easy for you to say. Fact is, she's grossly underpaid. An average salary of $85,000 over four years is pathetic for her skill level and impact.
