I've never seen a WNBA segment until this.

Excellent commentary. These ladies were spot on. Caitlin Clark is an extraordinary talent will go down as one of the all-time greats. At the same time, she's still a rookie and has plenty of time to grow and improve.

People need to calm the F down. It was her first game. Michael Jordan scored 16 points in his first game and he is the GOAT. The fact that she scored 20 is amazing. She will work on her defense and her turnovers. She is a professional and will have the time to work on her profession. Casuals expect her to be Jokic on her first game. Calm down.

Bruh I fw Chiney and Andrea, very informative and attention to detail when giving their takes!

Love the coverage on Get Up! Chiney and Andraya are great!

Wiw cant believe im watching WNBA highlights! Caitlin really is something special

Caitlin scoring 20 points against a “elite defense “ in her first game says a lot to me

In a bad game, she dropped 20 against a team that's supposed to be elite defenders. She'll be fine.

There's more pressure on Caitlin Clark in her rookie season than there was on Victor Wembanyama.

Shoutout to Chiney and Andrea. Top notch commentary. I really look forward to watching them throughout this WNBA season!

Caitlyn, hold your head up, play your game, and keep moving forward with the confidence you have always had. You belong there!

I'm here for the comments. 🙂 Also nice charter flight for the Fever. Hopefully other teams will get same opportunity as Fever and the Lynx. But as of yesterday one team took a charter bus and other still commercial. I think Fever will be fine and have time to grow and get better as a team. Just Game 1.

It’s the media fault for acting like she would dominate. She will be a rookie just like anybody else. She’s not different

Crazy how in her "welcome to the league game" she dropped 20 and led all scorers lmao

very intelligent commentary! Love it!

20 pts is 20 pts not easy. Shes a champion and surely she will bounce back.

She just needs to settle down. You can tell that her nerves were all over the place, and was rushing most of her passes to her teammates. 🤔 She’ll be ok. 👍🏾

Commentary was spot on. I think Caitlin will eventually be just fine. But on the whole, I thought the Fever showed up not ready to play. The whole team struggled, not just Caitlin. And that's on the coach. From what she's said in the media, I think Sides is one of those coaches who comes in with a system and then tries to pressure players into it. Good coaches build their system around what their players do best and helps them succeed. I may be spoiled by watching Lisa Bluder coach Caitlin the last two years. I thought she was a terrific team builder. But we have to remember Sides was a rookie coach just last year. The Fever is also a very young team, so everyone on that team has a lot of learning to do when it comes to the goal of putting a championship quality team on the floor. We'll see how things progress. Still, I don't get a good feeling from Sides. She seems kind of rigid and overwhelmed with the task presented to her. While I hope not, it wouldn't surprise me if her time as a head coach is short.

I think this is good analysis. The elite defense had her number as a shooter at the beginning of the game. She figured that out and made the shots later, but still needed to figure out the PG part of her game, the assists. This is where her coach and the other players need to go through the tape with her. She's smart; she'll get it. But 10 turnovers? She needs to improve and SHE WILL.

The first time me and the wife watch a wnba game. Caitlin made a lot of mistakes, but overall she showed potential. Can’t wait to see her growth. Hopefully she gets the trea young/steph treatment with the ultimate green light from the coach 😂

Double double with 10 turnovers 😂😂😂

We you realize “ you’re playing against professionals and everyone is good “🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

Either way this was a huge win for the Mohegan tribe. What a beautiful stadium and waterfall casino.

Give the kid a chance, right? We knew the way her coach talked that she was going to clip her wings, which is a shame. She’s not playing free like she did at Dallas. She will learn though. Don’t lose faith. She was still the high scorer on her team and if a few of her teammates had been more alert, she would have more completed passes and less turnovers. She’s just getting started! Hang in there Caitlin!❤️🏀

She scored 20 points on her debut game while being double teamed most of the night. I think she had an incredible game.

To the Caitlin Clark worshippers, those who think she can do no wrong, please take a deep breath and accept that Clark is not god. To the Clark detractors who refuse to say anything positive about the woman, at least admit that she belongs in the league and has talent and stop blaming her for what some of her fans or the media says.

This is a way in which the nba and wnba is different. It’s tough to be a rookie PG in both leagues but the playmaking translates faster in the NBA, while the scoring can take a bit to translate, it’s the opposite in the nba, where the scoring is gonna translate quicker than the playmaking. The fact that she can give you 20 against a top defense is a great starting point.

Like she said these players can read her mind. Sports isn’t only physical it’s also a mental. I had to learn this….it requires a lot of mental ability. Not to mention aggression.

20 pts and 10TO ... heyyy that a double double to me .. still good game lol

First game against a really good team ant bad. She’s just getting started

They seem so happy

Very physical league. Super competitive. Its going to be a fun time to watch CC grow in this atmosphere

She is getting Lebron James coverage. Everything she does will be on a microscope. The wins will be praised and the losses will come with major scrutiny. Female goat in the making.

Thats alot of pressure

Something just isn't right about the way team played. Part of the problem is obviously the players poor execution, but it seems this is more on coaching. I suspect the Fever's coach will be gone soon, unless they start playing much better.

Caitlin scoring 20 points against a “elite defense “ in her first game says a lot to me.

Last season they were saying shes the goat before she ever played a second in the wnba😂😂😂😂. Diana was right its levels to this.😂😂😂

20 pts is not bad

And she still scored 20!!!!!!!!!

We have to remember, she's playing on a team that's been at the bottom of the league the past two seasons.

Cailin needs her team to step up and speed up. She's playing faster than her teammates, and the issue is not for Caitlin to slow down but for her teammates to speed up. They need to trust her and go full speed down the court and anticipate Caitlin's awesome passing game.

Still the best player on the court for the Fever last night. Where is the criticism of Boston (looked slow and out of shape, got pushed around) and Smith? Give me a fkn break. At least four of those TO’s were on Boston and Smith not being in the right place or being able to handle the passes.

First game first season on a new level. Haters will crying once she adjusts lol.

Great analysis. Considering all that, she still got 20 pts in. Her teammates need to adjust as well.

Caitlin is gonna see pressure every game that has to be expected, trapped in the corner with no help multiple time, set screens people! The passes will be there. There are some things in the wnba that are slower than college, transition for one.

I actually watched my first wnba game. I didn't see them run plays to take adof their #1 draft pick. Also, the 10 turnovers were not all her fault. Also, the current wnba are not used to passing like hers. I have never seen such sloppy basketball on both sides, and these are starters.

She still scored 20 points but some work on turnovers. They have been expecting instant without some time to work together

Idk if it’s just me but I blame some of her teammates for half of her turnovers

The fact that 1- DT said THE SAME THING AS CLARK and many said DT was a hater, makes those ppl look goofy. 2- The Media making it about Clark when Alyssa Thomas had a triple double, DB making history during the game and not taking about D Caringtons defense, is messed up. 3- Clark will be great, she had her WTTL moment and will be better than ever as soon as Mitchell is healthy enough to play the one!

Her teammates are NOT fast enough for her passing.

Yeah, Caitlin made some mistakes. Don't pick up the dribble 35 feet out. Some of those turnovers were on her teammates, who spent a lot of time watching her instead of moving without the ball.

THANK YOU! ... CC (and probably Reese fans see this too) is either demonized or idolized ... Thanks for showing us the areas where CC can learn from, but ALSO considering the other players inputs in the game, AND the team dynamic in general. This game broke my heart, as long-term fans and vets warned us it would. I was ready for it, but still thought it would be better than this ... Still love you all and your analysis since discovering during the very beginning of March Madness this year! : )

Caitlin just finished playing an entire year of college basketball and only had a month off. People don’t talk enough about that. Tired legs for a shooter equals less efficiency. Something to watch in her first year

Every team is going to try to make Caitlin uncomfortable and bully her but she’ll overcome it for sure.

Elite analysts. I can watch them all day!

Never thought I’d click on a WNBA ESPN segment…

Just remember, CC is on a team that has been at the bottom of the league the past two years, and their head coach has been their head coach the past two years. In her WNBA debut, Taurasi scored 22 points in a 72-66 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs. For the season,Taurasi averaged 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Let's just wait and see how the season turns out for CC.

Already setting records. Impressive

*Get Boston involved more. Indiana has to be ready to run. They have to screen more.*

What makes players elite is because of their brains. These women are just longer, stronger and faster. She’s going to understand that her windows for passing and driving and shooting are going to be tighter. 10 turnovers is a good thing! It proves she isn’t scared and is still being herself. The turnovers will go down, shooting will improve, she’ll bulk up in the offseason and be a total menace. Enjoy the moment haters! Like they said with Wemby. This is the worst she’ll ever be.

It’s weird seeing that coach coach the suns because she’s a announcer that announced for Iowa

When ppl said it was gonna be rough out the gates they were called haters. When in fact that's just the reality. 10 turnovers is crazy tho 😆. She had a double double

Caitlin, you're still a superstar! :D

CC had 10 turnovers wiping out her 20 points, shot 33%. Play can not meet the big hype.

0:55 no expectations from a number 1 pick is crazy

Last year I knew about 5 players. Griner. Taurasi. Bird, Skylar, Candace. Now everyday I'm learning about someone new....Caitlin Clark effect. Appreciate it while it lasts.

I feel like sabrina kinda got dumped. Wnba is worse than the nba when it comes to players moment. Sabrina had so much buzz. Still a really good player. Ever since Caitlin and these college hoopers did well in a college tournament its all about them. Caitlyn probably has the biggest target on her back. She is going to learn how to create her own shots with little space.

ESPN, Sheena Ogoke we agree with you she would do better this time

Well said!!

Her points came when they were down 20. She scored in garbage time. When the game was close she was locked up.

Caitlin is gonna be a beast the moment she can match the physicality of vets just keep watching fans or haters 😂

I like CC yeah she had rough moments but her and the team will turn around. Just watch 10 games in they can be a whole new team. If the coach lets them

She will bounce back. She needs more experience in WNBA before become the GOAT like the men’s league before that guy become the GOAT.

She gone be alright only played 3 games of pro ball

She learns and adjusts.

learning from espn's experts, thank you!

Yeah, big facts. She not having another 10 TO game. Still had 20pts. Good game for her 1st game. Just cut down the TOs

In your corner Caitlyn!

20 points for a rookie that’s awesome

Remember she do the magic pass that Larry Bird shot she didn't show none of that because I heard the coach want to break that habit from her and get her doing other things

The WNBA vets are going out of their way to try and "humble" her and "teach her a lesson" even though she literally hasn't done anything except hoop and have joy doing it. I have watched WNBA games here and there over the years but watched several games last year and most of the preseason games this year. In all those games i have rarely if ever seen someone guarded 94 feet getting bumped the entire game. Only in the playoffs if that, and only in a close game in the last few minutes. They are trying to defend her like this all game. If that's how it's gonna be, she needs an enforcer teammate to start body checking her defenders before they can cross half court. Wanna guard her 94 ft? You about to run into this wall. Her coach went to the Darvin Ham school of making adjustments though so this won't be fixed any time soon

Yall still think DT was hating hu 🤣🤣

Caitlin needs to visit Phil Handy asap, if she get her handles up and ball protection she gon be straight

She needs to play better number 1 pick

The lesbian are having a field day today

I thought she was overrated I'm not a hater but she has a target on her back from the woke WNBA

I think everyone on the news is being a bit judgemental, like it was not the worst game she played. It was her first real game.

Yes her armpit was sweating😅

Not sure this was a bad game for CC. She’s a great shooter and 4/11 threes is good.People talk about her vision but this is somebody who had nearly 5 turnovers a game in college mainly due to bad passes leading to an assist to turnover ratio of less than 2. With better athleticism and height we shouldn’t expect her to improve as a ball handler/distributor. Somebody else(Berger) needs to run the point and CC needs to run screen games with the bigs to pop open for jumpers or create mismatches underneath for the bigs. She was a high volume player in college but not that efficient. Despite the hype, she’s not a great ball handler or passer, she’s good at those. The Fever need to play to her strengths which will mean less usage and potentially scoring but hopefully more wins.

Hey, she got her first double double

Chopped up BLT with ranch is the best sandwich ever

Caitlingot 20 points, which is great for a rookie. And the only thing she has to learn is that her opponents are undercover men.

Black girls rock, and they are going to always be her glass ceiling.

Why are they only showing HER highlights?

Soooo there’s a learning curb like Tirasi said?

The Fever coaching staff should move Howard to PG and keep CC at SG...This will take the pressure off of CC trying to run both the offense and trying to score effectively at the same time...In addition...right now...the offense should start with A. Boston and not CC at this present time until CC "transitions" comfortably at the WNBA level...✌️👍🏿

If sge did the Big three furst dge would have been ready game one.

She needs to average 30 for this team to have a chance of winning games. I think she will average 30

What would be more entertaining is having W.N.B.A. teams play boys high school basketball teams. The WNBA teams would still lose but it would be fun to watch….

When Clark was drafted by the Fever,She was all they needed forget about the rest of the team. We got Clark,Now all you bandwagon jumping fans are crying that the Great Caitlyn Clark needs help. It's not gonna get any easier. So keep alot of Kleenex close by.
