Inside Indiana Fever training camp practice Day 5 & 6 - Christie Sides, Caitlin Clark, NaLyssa Smith

The Indiana Fever, like other teams, won't always have a great practice - and that was the case Sunday after their first exhibition game in Dallas, a three-point loss to the Wings. And nope, it wasn't a light practice either.
They had to stop several times for a message from coach Christie Sides, the gray team outplayed the blue several times and they struggled through adversity. Better communication is being emphasized.
Yes, these aren't all highlights. There are good and bad plays - and it should give you a better perspective of what practice was like inside Day 5 and 6 of training camp at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
They also celebrated rookie Leilani Correa's birthday at the end.
Their final preseason game is on Thursday, May 9th against the Atlanta Dream.

Who else went from never watching women’s basketball to watching preseason and practices and it’s still not enough.

Men's basketball is somewhat predictable... with women's basketball there's a new player that's above the asymptote and every team in the league is scared Sh!tless ... it's Superwoman against the evil forces ... and there's no Kryptonite to be found anywhere on the planet.

Caitlin Clark has actually boosted the economy not only in her own city, but in all the cities where The Fever will play. She's a jobs creator! People will be spending money.

Absolutely right. Now three other teams have moved the game to a larger arena when the Fever are in town. Remarkable. I call it Caitlinomics

@lg_1226 Ай бұрын

Caitlin Clark was so efficient with transition points and transition assists at Iowa. Felt so much higher paced. I feel like she’s going to have to slow down now bc Aliyah Boston is nearly last back up the court every time and feeding her posts or centers with those quick dimes is out of the question now. Just a little too slow paced for my liking.

Appreciate the videos man. I love them. I have a question though, just curious as a normal NBA watcher this is my first time I am watching WNBA games and content. I am fully invested in this team and love watching it play. But to me I feel like there defence is not very good. As a person who is watching them close do you think this is championship team as it is or do they need more pieces for defending??

@maxxgold1 Ай бұрын

They are going to need time to gel. Defense is definitely a priority, but they need to iron their offense out first, in my opinion. Caitlin is pushing the ball so fast and the team is lagging behind or they are not fast enough to get into their transition offense fast enough. We only saw a small portion of the practice footage, but once again Aliya Boston can't get down the floor to ever get easy buckets. Someone needs to rim run. I think Championships are a year or two away, unless when they gel and what they are trying to do clicks and they make a run. It's to early to really make a judgement, but they need more speed or they just haven't shown it yet.

@alphariusomegon6374 Ай бұрын

Championship? Come on. The goal is playoff, anything extra would be nice, but beyond the plan. The main thing is that Kelsey and NaLyssa are healthy, I'm not so worried about Aliyah in that regard. And Lexie could finally start shoot as with Tara. 🙄 Caitlin will hopefully help with that, but there's no point for any toooo high hopes. This is not the NCAA.

CC looks confused whom to pass, AB looks slow. Transition to offence is far from ideal and as a whole offence looks clueless. If the only focus is pick n roll and CC shooting 3's it won't work here. They need to get others involved and set up more screens.

It amazes me the amount of people who don't understand tendencies. Most right handed players prefer to drive right that does not mean they are not able to drive left. Every player has tendencies that teams game plan for that does not mean said player is any easier to stop. For instance Every one new when dirk got the ball in the post he was going to do a one legged fadaway but that didn't stop him from dominating the NBA for 20 years.
