With her bball IQ she could out coach Sides, Period.

@@PiscesMoon2You Not just BB IQ....CC's overall IQ is likely 30-50 points higher than this rube

Iowa did that. Media training

They could be better if they let Caitlin as their playing coach.

She always does! That's our woman! (I live in Iowa.)

I've constantly maintained, this young lady is way beyond her age...she's probably the adult in WNBA

​@oluwatosinstephen5529 stop it! 😅

@@dot0422 truth be told, when you listen to her, sometimes you'll think she's the coach

Yes she is. Unbelievable-- she makes coach look even more like a bafooon

💯! That is why CC has four major national endorsements of: Nike, Wilson, Gatorade and State Farm, besides many others like Bose, Buick, Hy-Vee and H&R Block! Large successful companies want to align themselves and spend their millions on mature winners who are classy, mature and good role models.

My exact sentiments. She handles questions from the press better than her coach. Gives better answers. CC needs to play a "dual role" on the team...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Pretty much yup

Thank you, I thought I was the only one who noticed that

Made no sense.

@@DwightParrish-h9v No, only a blind person or someone that died t know the game, couldn’t see that

Fever should let this coach go now,if they want to win a championship in the future.

That last quarter made me think that Lexi could get a double double with steals. Absolutely loved her

And then they both got benched...go figure.

Hull should have played more in the game. The Mystics ball was dropping and Hull's defense was really needed

It’s her speciality. She knows how to stop Fever momentum and let every opponents moment grow.

yeah CC takes responsibility for everything for this team…its a freaking Team Sport, not a tennis match with one player…she has 8 coaches sitting there watching….so its not on her….

So did Mitchell.

Credit for a lost??

She learned from one of the best. Coach Bluder build every team different according to her players strengths. Something coach Sides doesn't do.

Can you? She's kinda clueless.

you must be newb here

Too much DEI diversity equity and inclusion on her mind… Can’t let the white girl get too much of the limelight

Yes this loss is the coach’s

Pathetic response

😂😂😂 she’s crazy

she doesnt know what she's doing

All of the above....ridiculous and stupid.

😂😅

She is not on the floor playing. She is not throwing the passes away and letting the other team blow by them. There are games that those things don't happen which shows me it is about the team maturing and not just about the coach on the sidelines.

💯 facts. Zero responsibility

She is awful lol

@@dot0422oh the ghetto man is here again

Maybe GM should go too! CC took over the game!

@@debbiealdred8282 The GM does need to be fired as well as Sides. Lin Dunn is 27-72 in 3 years as GM. Maybe the owner Herb Simon needs to actually start getting involved and pay attention to this trainwreck that Sides and Dunn have created.

@@debbiealdred8282 both should have fired 10 games into the season

Totally agree. Frustrating for team and fans…

The GM is old enough to be a grandma (maybe even a great grandma). She needs to retire too.

And zero challenges on some poor calls by the refs. Useless.

I think her lineup changes just didn’t work and the team looked exhausted after the great win over the Liberty. This is not me making excuses but just reality.

It's almost like match rigging

Craziness that she'd change the line up from just a couple of days ago when they knocked out the #1 team..she needs to say it's her coaching job.. practice coaching better!😮

@@studioonecreatetoday1173 the momentum killers are the worst. I saw team throw their hands up when a timeout was called when they were gunning in transition.

Ohhh, really is it? You the WNBA god? Stuff happens get over it…

AGAIN.....

you haven't watched their games, they are a much better team than their standings show. They almost beat the Aces not long ago and held A'ja to only 11 points.

She needs to GO

I could not have said it better myself. Well spoken! Someone in this organization needs to step up. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in ‘ any Sport’ in 57 years of my life. She claims she didn’t have an answer and it was a coaches decision. Well, it’s also the coaches fault and like you said she blames the players. That is just absolutely ridiculous. She is scratching her head wondering why it did not work this game. We just beat the best team in the WNBA the New York liberty prior to this game, and then she goes and change the starting lineup after it was very productive. Why is she even coaching in a professional sport?

100%

Why do people constantly say she blames the players??? I NEVER hear her saying that. She always says she has to see what SHE can do better. She always sticks up for the players?? Like what are yall listening to. Of course she has to mention the fact that the players play in the game, but she never throws them under the bus. You couch coaches are hating on things that don’t even make sense. 😅

Could NOT have said it better, @reneepilch7275!!!

Thank you Captain Obvious….every one has a bad game…Kelsey is a great player….

And to feed the hot hand..... not Sides. She freezes CC routinely

Mitchell is a beast

@@pf2007, Yes they do and when a Coach sees that, that’s when you take them out let them sit and watch the game to maybe see or get a fill of what may be disrupting their game. Plus it can also help the other players on your team bc your seeing it differently from the bench than on the floor. I’ve heard many players talk about this and how it made a difference. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do but this Coach she just doesn’t get it. Just like the starting line up, If it doesn’t need fixed.. Don’t fix it. But she will do the opposite all the time.

@@pf2007 I'd like to see her get more steals because she's as quick as a cat!

True. Normally she's not looking like this after a loss. I think she's accepting that there will be loses...not accepting losing but accepting that they will lose but will get better.

She didn’t look this way walking off the court at the end. Can you imagine being primarily responsible for your team coming back and then not given the chance to tie the game with the last play? Her face reflected what I think a lot of Fever fans felt - disappointment over a missed opportunity of giving Clark the chance to tie the game.

She played an amazing 4th quarter. She did not have a good 3 quarters. But definitely the front runner for rookie of the year

@@southpawle641 She played great the entire game. Bit her 4thQ was phenomenal.

Maybe not. Angel Reese just got her 14th double double today.

@@littlegmodthose first 13 were great, but she did not earn the one she had today

@@adbwhatspoppin You may be right. I don't know. All I'm saying is she got another double double today and she's been all over the sports news so you can't count her out.

Has she ever given the ball to Caitlin at the end in these close games?

I agree totally Catlin today was shooting the ball great and she doesn't take the shots at the end of the game! THE COACH NEEDS TO GO!!!!

Mitchell is one of Coach Sides pets and that's how that rolls!

She sat her because it was a defensive situation they were going into, and Caitlin's considered strong on offense rather than defense. Not that I agree with the decision (hello Coach...5 steals!) - just explaining it. I personally think it gives the opponent a mental and moral boost when they see CC on the bench like that.

What irks me is this undermines Caitlin's confidence on defense! My word ... How many rebounds, steals and blocks can a point guard have and have the coach still leave in a 5'8 guard or bring in a cold replacement??? Sides doesn't want Caitlin to make the buzzer beater or be on the court for that defensive rebound!!!

Smith was out for personal reasons, that's not on Sides.

They played well.

They played well indeed but to lose such a large lead. Mystics need to work on that 4th quarter.

​@roee78 I have seen games that they had a large lead and just loose the game.

Yep

It’s exposing and very evident

Pathetic coach

My Yorkshire knows more than Christie sides .

@@jasonj7755😂😂😂

I think it irritates Sides that Clark is so confident in her basketball knowledge which is why Sides seems to always be trying to show Clark who is boss by humbling her with public criticism, sharing Clark's texts, benching her at the end of tight games, and leaving her out of plays. If Sides doesn't think people don't see it, she is wrong.

Agree! It is maddening to see Sides continue to bench Clark at the end of games. The only conclusion I can draw now is that Sides is deliberately disrespecting Clark because it just isn't logical.

wheeler just hasn’t been on her game lately.

@@certifiedvibez lately?

@@certifiedvibez basketball is a game of runs and it matters when they happen. Wheeler came in with seconds to go, and immediately fouled and gave up free throws. Then Sides called the last play for Mitchell . Sides lost this game.

Boyfriend & girlfriend lost it as usual

Sides and wheeler. Lickity and split. It’s ridiculous

Dantas>smith

of course you need 2 bigs, Smith has been awesome on the boards of late and the fever didnt rebound

@@scotteduzntno8671yep

The bigs did not show up today.They were asleep.

Smith just want rebound for stat...no urgency to win ..last minute cannot catch the ball😡😡

Lexi makes everybody better on defense and cc makes everyone better on offense. They didnt run anything on offense to start the game but on defense they came out flat and slow. Notuced all the early games were low scoring

Yup. She evades and deflects.

She really does need to go. Not just because they lost, but her decision making is atrocious! Times out and rotations are awful. She’s killing this team!

@@debbiealdred8282 Sides called a timeout when her team was on 6 -0 run!

Yes it's her fault they threw the ball away over 20 times

It’s Christie Ham she reminds me of Darwin Ham who was fired by the lakers

Love Sides, she's doing a great job 🥰

CC is smart. She politely throws shade 😎 at the coach as well as teammates. She often says not my decision...I trust my teammates...my job is to set my teammates up. She's good 😅with those little jabs.

Sides needs to be FIRED.

Hull and Smith should have started

It seems like on the games that go well for them, the coach does the least and doesn’t get involved as much.

I would love for Kelsey to play a sixman role. Because hero ball (aka give-it-to-Kelsey) is not as effective as hero ball with Chennedy Carter. Kelsey is too hot/cold. A lineup of CC Boston Lyss Lexie Katie-Lou, lets just see it for once. Please.

Smith is terrible. Always forcing shots. Dantas>smith

@@scotteduzntno8671 she at least gets rebounds. we needed that this game. Dantas remains to be seen; so far she’s hit some money shots both games she was in!

Same excuses every time

Perfect. I wish you were the new Fever coach!

Back off of Kelsey when she brings her A game every game. Shooters shoot. That's what they're supposed to do.

@@ericwatts6996 she should be playing her A game then as her contract is up this year.

Sides is bad but Iowa coach not coming. There will be major changes in off season.

Blunder 😂

Sides is great, Clark is lucky to be on this team

it was snowball's chance in hell because they didnt have possession with 16 seconds left,they fouled than and it was 5 points last play didnt matter you needed a 3 and a turnover for another last second shot

At that point in game they couldn't have won if if Clark was in game and made a 3. Now I do agree she should stay in the game til the end. Only time is to rest when Fever is up not when down.

A three and a foul -- Clark had one earlier in the game. She can make a 5pt play.

😂😂😂. Good one. I totally get it.

😂😂😂😂😂

@@robbieanderson649 Please help. lol I don’t get it.

correct

Clark can make a 5 pt play, she did it earlier in the game. Absurd that it wasn't the option.

Clark will be fine. She was selected as #1 Draft pick because of her great skill and the team that gets the #1 Draft does so because they have worse record from previous season. Fever has had back to back #1 picks. Clark will be fine.

Cool thanks for your random input

No keep Katie Lou as the starter at the 3 and Lexi brings energy off the bench

@@breezybreeze12 No. I like Samuelson but her shot isn't falling and she can't defend. Lexie greatly helps the team on defense and offense. And she makes sure that Caitlin gets the ball. In fact Caitlin plays her best with Lexie on the floor. In today's game it was Caitlin & Lexi leading the way. The starting lineup should be Caitlin, Lexie AB, Smith, & Mitchell. Dantas & Temi should be the 1st players off the bench. Samuelson & Wheeler needs to come off the bench and play limited minutes.

Yer wheeler list minute and throw a foul and loose the game

Yep

It’s bizarre

Nope she never gives her a Compliment!! Very sad!!

Sides is clueless n needs to go

Belichick was the same way with Brady

She hates CC

Bingo Temi is the only big who is active and not a plodding type

I agree.

Caitlin Clark broke the turnover record in history for the WNBA and the reps keep giving false foul calls so CC can stack her point will not work with better teams. The coach has a hard time trying to keep the narrative on point, in other words the coach is not the blame!

They have too many distractions before the game starts. Stop volunteering!

And the win over Liberty.

Mitchell is such a gunner her mentals isn't telling her u suck tonight give it up .

When she had 0-6 was the time she needed to stop and pass to her teammates or look for spaces for layups.

And she needs to stop waving off Caitlin. Love her but shocked me to see that.

Nah it was the Indian fevers team

Don't do that. You can't try to blame the rest of the team when we lose & congratulate C-Squared when we win. Issa team game. They are still trying to gel together as a team. Caitlin is probably the most valuable individual player to their team in the entire W & since she's so dynamic especially on offense, it takes a lot to understand how she thinks & how she plays. We're 3 games ahead of where we were last year which is a plus & we're coming off a win against the best team in the league, The Liberty which is better than ANY individual win we got last year. I believe we have the skill & ability to be a top 5 team & The Fever have shown spurts of it, we just can't do it on a consistent basis because we're the youngest team in the W. Be patient & let The Fever keep cooking up that championship level chemistry that I know we're capable of reaching.

Huh?

Coaches fault

Right

Not sure if this is why, but she wasn't even on the bench to begin the game so maybe something was preventing her from starting.

lol

I don't think so

You must think they should be 23-0.

Easily

@@hilliarddillepree7717no but if you knew basketball you’d agree.

Amen!

I don't think they made a defensive adjustment until the second half. Sides is just not good at reading the game imo.

​@@JB-zh1tuagreed. Just always seems a step behind coaching wise. Substitutions were questionable. Wallace should've played more and Dantas should've played more.
