Clark played 40 minutes of every game at Iowa at the number ONE! Iowa led the nation in scoring at over 90 points per game! She has the stamina! No blow needed! Gawd!

Caitlin averaged 35 minutes a game during her Iowa career, but did play 40 minutes (or more) about one of seven games.
@williamfragaszy601629 күн бұрын
@@RichardIILionheart the reason she averaged less than 40 minutes was because she was taken out of blowout games. In the most competitive games, she usually played 38 or 39 minutes (only coming out for a few seconds, usually at the end of a quarter or just before a tv timeout).

Boston off the bench for a starter. CC at the 1, Mitchell at the 2, Smith, Fagbenle and Hull. Let them run!
@TheMonker2Ай бұрын
I agree with most of this...Coach Sides should talk to Boston and tell her she has to earn her starting spot back. She will play significant minutes but not start until she proves she can consistently perform. In general, the Fever miss far too many easy shots and air balls from 3. They all need to improve their shooting. They all also need to learn that no matter where they are on the court that CC may throw a pass to them...I have seen too many fumbles. As for CC on the bench and saving her for the last few minutes. I agree, I can see the strategy but when they started giving up points, she should have been put back in. NEXT TIME, I would take Caitlin out and ask if she has it in her to finish the game...and let her decide if she had it in her to go back in REMEMBER, she had an injured ankle from the previous game as well. From watching so many Iowa games, I think CC could pull off playing the entire 4th quarter without a break. Finally, Michael Jordan went 1-4 in his first five games with the Bulls so I am not surprised CC has a similar record. The Fever has become better with each game. The last couple games have been MUCH improved and the W's will come. IMO, changing coaches right now will make things worse, not better. I always look forward to the next game and have not lost any interest in watching Fever games.

The coach needs to make them run sprints for every easy layup they miss. Not only would it encourage them to clean it up, but would improve their speed & stamina. Unfortunately with 7 games in 12 days, you're not getting practice days. And I don't think it is a good idea to take Boston out of the starting lineup. I see Boston as someone that benefits from the carrot vs the stick approach. Boston is improving each game & I don't want to see her confidence drop & make her play worse. And Sides has no problem using people off the bench for longer than she plays her starters. And most importantly, I have seen how CC & Boston are trying to figure it out & work together. They really like each other & I see them trying to help & support each other on this team.

They need to play big. Starting lineup 1. Boston - Fandini - Smith - Mirchell - CC. Pick and pick and roll all day with Fambibi and Smith. Play fast and run. 3 big for defense and rebounds. Lineup will dominate!

Indiana coach needs to watch how Iowa played basketball with Caitlyn.Clark, everybody needs to rebound and learn to put back rebounds and if you get a open shot, take your shot, but she's the first option if we can get off it has to be Caitlin.After that get a rebound boston and put it back up that's it.

That's what I thought, maybe she just watched a few clips of Clark's college game, and she came out not that impressed, that is why she is determined especially at the first games to have Caitlin fit into her system instead of adjusting her coaching to fit into her star's strength, she just thought Clark was another good shooter and not the generational talent she is (at least till college).
@amyk631929 күн бұрын
What needs to change is the coach. It wasn't just Sides horrible constant subs when the player are doing well or on a roll, it is her need to keep playing Wheeler & Wallace so much despite their lack of contributions. Go back and watch the last 12 seconds of that game. The Fever had 2 chances to win that game. And Wallace screwed both chances over with bad inbound passes. First time she overthrew it to Katie Lou & ignored Kelsey being open. And the 2nd time when she threw it in to CC. At first I thought the second one was CC's fault & that she just couldn't hold onto the ball, but after hearing some people say it was a bad pass, I went back & rewatched the play. Not only did Wallace throw it late & way past CC, then Wallace just stood there out of bounds & just watched CC struggle to hold onto the ball w/3 Storm players on her. Only Boston came over to help CC.

I had thought Clark and Boston would mesh well together, much as Clark and Czinano did at Iowa. But it turns out, thus far, that Boston being bigger is her only advantage. Her vertical seems to be no more than six inches. She has not exhibited much in the way of post moves, and has not run the floor. She has had difficulty catching passes. But she was WNBA rookie of the year last season and led the league in field goal percentage, as well as being college player of the year in 2022, so there is talent there.
@amyk631929 күн бұрын
Boston is dealing with a post-rookie slump. They only have a 2 wk training camp so players have to keep up their stamina & skills in the off season on their own. Many do this by playing overseas, but Boston was a commentator instead. So she messed up & was out of shape coming in this year. She's getting there & will get out of her slump, but because she is a slower big, they have to find better ways to mesh Boston with CC's faster pace style. I have seen how CC & Boston are trying to figure it out & work together. Clark & Boston do really like each other & I see them trying to help & support each other on this team in other ways too, so I think we have to have patience with Boston & hope the coach doesn't screw it up any worse than she already has.
@RichardIILionheart29 күн бұрын
@@amyk6319 You make a good point, I think. The two of them (Clark and Boston) do seem to like and respect each other. I wonder, however, about Boston’s ability to catch the ball cleanly and make an immediate move to the basket. She seems to want a dribble and that gives the defense a chance to recover.
@thomasslaughter90129 күн бұрын
The problem with the fever is they are standing around after a shot and watching the ball bounce off the rim and no one attacking the loose ball and second is defense/blocking out. Let Caitlin Clark be herself. These are simple changes that players who can’t step up put them on the bench!

Sides needs to go! Incompetent, is more like a cheerleader than a coach, doesn’t seem to have some of her players’ backs, except her favorites. Speaking of favorites - Wheeler & Wallace - she gives them way too many minutes while you have players like Grace Berger on the bench who hasn’t played in last 3 or4 games. Celeste Taylor hasn’t received any playing time, which is a shame as she is fast, a great defender, and can shoot the 3. I don’t know how she never even got in the blowout games, so coach could see what she could do. Said she was impressed with her in that second preseason game but then turns around & gives her no playing time!
@Furbabypawprints29 күн бұрын
Bench Boston, wheeler and Wallace. Leave CC at PG so she has control of ball and plays. Rotate those defensive players that don’t play. After watching these first games, you have to wonder if coach is purposely keeping her down.

Why worry about offense and pace when you have no defense . It doesn't make sense to give your ops more field goal attempts when you can't stop them!!!!

INDIANA HAS CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF THE TEAM AND DECIDED TO BUILD THE TEAM AROUND CLARK WHICH IS WHAT YALL WANTED . THE RESULTS ARE SPEAKING!!! INDIANA IS GOING BACKWARDS!!!!!

The Sky just drafted two bigs. They don't need another. But I am very jealous of the Sky players ,because they do have a great coach in Tspoon. Despite Boston coming into the season out of shape & not ready, I want her to stay on the Fever. She is a good player & I think she can get over this slump & be a great on this team. The problem is this coach is horrible & doesn't know what she is doing. For ex. Sides has Boston doing pick & rolls w/CC but Boston can't get into position before the heavy coverage on CC recovers from the screen. My hope is that the Fever will fire Sides & gets a competent coach who knows what they are doing. There are other ways Boston can get into a good position & get assists from CC. And most importantly, I have seen how CC & Boston are trying to figure it out & work together. They really like each other & I see them trying to help & support each other on this team.

I'm thinking maybe it's a con game, someone has told Sides don't let her win. That way while all these eyes are on us we can showcase all the great players in the league ect.... I mean every time they build momentum or take a lead, Clark goes out, and wheeler goes in and losses it all, I mean a high school english teacher wouldn't make these coaching mistakes.. maybe make it look good, (remember: Clark is just a rookie, we told you she couldn't play with grown women) we spotlight the league and try to get new fans, then next year you get top pick and Beckers?

@amyk631929 күн бұрын
I do think that the Fever's starting schedule of 7 games in 12 days was purposeful & that the WNBA just wanted to use CC's fame & attention to show off their top teams in the league. Not only was this horrible marketing, but also, with so many games with no rest & the constant full court double & triple teaming CC is facing from defenders, it is a risk to her health. They are delusional if they think they can use CC like a rented mule & her fans will just jump over to support another team or players. But I just don't think Sides is that smart. I do think her plan has been to use CC as bait to pull defenders & get other players more shots b/c she has mentioned that often. And yes she favors Wheeler & Wallace over all the other players. She brought them in with her when she became Fever head coach b/c they played with her in Atlanta when she was the asst coach. But I think its not just favoritism, its because Sides coaching ability is just really really limited. And since she can't change or adapt, she's stuck in the only coaching style she knows from back in her days as assistant coach in Atlanta days which always used Wheeler & Wallace. I have heard theories where people that think its all about betting which has increased tremendously since Clark joined the WNBA. They think Sides is getting paid to make sure the odds against Caitlin Clark stay in the houses favor.
