Caitlin Clark is the first name on Christie Side's scouting report too!

The haters saying CC is overrated have gradually disappeared. She wouldn’t be getting harassed like Michael Jordan if she wasn’t for real.

We can see as much the way they play against her, she's the focus. Lexie found out what the hype was about after their first matchup.

Of course. CC is double and triple teamed 90% of court. They know despite Sides, CC can beat you with 3s or with her passing As you said many times, CC is the offense….. period

Well Lexie’s teammate took the scouting report to heart when Macdonald guarded Caitlin after her first of two free throws. 😂😂😂

CC is defended like no other player in the league. 94' and double teamed at half court. Her bigs need to set better screens and they need to run the floor faster. AB needs to drop some weight to gain some speed.

Sabrina Ionescu said after their first matchup “we kind of know who the head of the snake is. You stop her, you stop them.” It’s pretty obvious from the way they guard her 94 feet they’re all worried she will average 30 if they don’t shadow and harass her constantly.

I think many of these WNBA veterans are finding out that Caitlyn Clark is both physically and mentally tougher than they expected.

Imagine if they left clark open like fever left Blum the other day

Flau'jae from college praised Caitlin after she played her. When they play her they see she is the real deal, its not hype

Actions speak louder. If CC offense was all hype, then it wouldn't pay for teams to constantly face guard and double team her. If CC got decent consistent screens from teammates and open looks, then she would easily average 25 ppg.

I appreciate her saying all this. The support is nice, better than what she was saying before. Angel is an elite rebounder. But CC is on another level.

It confirms what we’ve seen since preseason into regular season games. They can’t leave Clark unguarded.

This is not a revelation. Anyone who knows basketball could see it. Seems like vets decided there's no benefit fighting the wave and much to gain.

Caitlin Clark is so feared Aari McDonald immediately went to face guard her not realising she still had to shoot another FT!!!

Sparks lost 1st game at home but Sparks won at Fever with Clark having her first 30 point game.

Just like back then when many players in NBA didn't believe that Larry Bird had a special skills set in basketball until they were assigned to guard him and if the coach from the opposite team assigned a whilte player to guard him, he considered that as disrespect.

CC stats show off all she does, only thing reese does is rebound her own missed bunnies that usually come right back to her (adds up quick at that rate)

Reeses never got a DD until Kardoso came back

Anyone who claims Caitlin Clark is all hype can point out one player ever where 3 people are closing down a standard play on the same person 😂❤ Like.... WTF DUDE I have never ever seen the level of intensity this girl attracts. In a 5 man team if 3 people are all focused on one person how is the Fever not winning ever game 😂❤

Anyone who watches ball knew they cover her different and have schemes specifically for her. I wish her own coach was as smart and made some offensive sets for her.

16ppg,5.7reb,7ast, BETTER than ALL rookies, BETTER than Angel “Gangsta Barbie” Reese! BE JEALOUS!

Maybe the governor of Indiana needs to step in. The state will lose a lot of revenue if Caitlin moves to another team.

Kennedy is not an All Star because she’s been thrown out of 2 locker rooms. It’s a business. We’re talking about player/ambassadors for the WNBA. The scoreboard is meaningless. Would you hire this woman to represent your bazillion dollar investment? Kennedy needs to live conflict free for a least as season before she’s even in the conversation.

People can say what they want, positive or negative about Clark. The defensive intensity against her has been very high, including and since her first game. She has to be very good to have the stats she does, at present. If she were 3 or 4 inches taller, she could shoot over most perimeter defenders, much like Larry Bird. She would be even more difficult to stop.

This is ridiculous. Clark is having the best rookie season ever for a guard. She will lead the league in assists one day. Probably the same time she will be the best shooter and scorer in the league.

Clark is "one of" the best rookies?? Come on, dude...

It's nice to see Lexi give CC her flowers. It would have been cool to hear more about how it is guarding CC. If you listen to the podcast she talks about it feeling like an away game for the Sparks at Crypto arena because there were so many Fever fans there

She's NOT the best rookie ever Mick GTFOH Candace Parker was.MVP and ROTY🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm no coach, but it seems pretty clear that until Caitlin plays with teammates who can consistently score to pull some of the defensive targeting off her, and plays in an offensive scheme that creatively leverages her skills, she's always going to be the key to beating whatever team she's playing for. Given the hand she's been dealt into the WNBA, it may be a long road. But no doubt about it, WNBA players and teams and understanding Caitlin is the real deal.

Wheeler is 2nd everyone's scouting report. Every opponent is asking "How do we get Sides to play her?"

Angel's position is a forward-defensive player, not offense.

Are we really surprised...?

I knew Reese would be a premier rebounder; I didn’t expect for her to get a bag like this she sitting back and shooting now and efficient!! Wilson betta watch out😂😂👏🏾👏🏾

I been following Angel Reese since 2023 in college she was dominant grabbing rebounds and scoring when you are a rebounder it translates to the next level. Angel Reese senior year she average over 20 points and 14 rebounds again that’s dominate It was no question to me watching her that her gifts would transfer to the woman pro level because shes she’s about EFFORT and hard work

As primary ball handler , makes sense for her to be the focus to disrupting the offense . Watching Sky games, makes me wonder if the opposing teams are even trying to get rebounds . I see shots going up and Angel Reese is standing alone to grab the rebound while everyone else has already run back down the court .

Reese was has been a lot more patient of late and it has helped her game. Her fg% is up and she has been avoiding early foul trouble. It was pulling the team down. By just making those layups She has helped her teams efficiency and forced other teams to respect her presence near the paint. Now she has enough gravity to pull at least 1 defender away from the rim so Carter can Iso her defender with a good quick outside step. By Reese not getting into foul trouble early she is able to maintain the same intensity through the game and play soft to stay in the floor in the 4th. It has made a big difference for her team. Neither the offense nor the defense goes through her. She just had to play her role well enough to free up her team mates. She is doing that while making sure to make her easy bucket opportunities. Once CC's teammates are able to be consistent enough to pull a defender it will open the fever offense. Teams are committing super hard to trapping CC and daring the other players to beat them. If they can get that going they might have a real shot in the playoffs instead just fighting to participate in them.

Until the league learns what “Defense” means, they’ll always just have a few DT’s.

You would think that I they put so many people on Clark the fever lady’s would have shots but they don’t make them 😢

Angel Reese would still average a double-double In rebounds even if you subtracted the rebounds she gets from her own missed shots. 1.7 of Angels rebounds come from her missed shots. She averages 11.8 rebounds. 10.1 rebounds per game without her misses. Caitlin Clark is on pace to beat the single season turnover record by 83 turnovers. On the day that I wrote this, in 21 games played Caitlyn has 149 assists and 118 turnovers. Her assist to turnover ratio is 1.26. A ratio of 2.5 or more is considered average. Yikes!

Reese is a great player because of her strength and strong will to win, and yes the numbers are great but the numbers can be a little deceiving... go watch a lot of footage of Reese, she will miss a lay up, get her own rebound, miss it again, get the rebound and miss it a third time get the rebound again and finally put the ball in the hoop. She walks away with 2 points and 3 boards.

You didn't play the part when he said Clark is guarded like CRAZY to the point guarding her forgot how many free throws she has. Question for you could you please check Angel Reece's shot chart and see how many points she has scored outside the paint, I know I have watched 11 games and haven't seen one yet. I saw on Twitter that Clark has assisted or scored 39.4% of the total points for the fever. Tonight I watched the Lynx vs Sun game and Thomas had 13 assists and they were basic small passes absolutely nothing like the passes Clark does where fans go omg because she's guarded so hard like people gotta see regular games and then how Clark is guarded it's honestly like the flag football compared to the UFC. Also Collier got hurt and I think it's bad, and that coach has had issues with Clark's fans so if Clark is the first alternate does she go or will the coach still take Collier and just not play her and how will fans feel about that. Please like do some real commentary not just a basic retweet of what's going on with your opinion. For instance, Clark has played angel many times, in college when angel played for Maryland and also even in highschool not just the natty in 2023 like come on, be deeper than just click bait posting Clark on something doing 10+ vids getting 20+40k views like I am sure it's paying off but keep it real and it will grow more

I don't believe Lexi Brown has access to other teams scouting reports, she can only speak about the Sparks. Today, the legendary Lisa Leslie, came out strong in Angel's defense. Angel actually has the respect and admiration of current WNBA superstars like Wilson and Charles in addition to a growing list of legends. Reese is the best rookie and the current and past superstars of the game think that to. Mick, the difference between Clark's and Reese scoring averages are 2.8 points per game. Reese average is in the teens, just like Clark's, so Reese, offensively, is doing excellent for a rookie, you're being too critical of her. Secondly, Clark has the ball in her hands all the time and Reese doesn't, which makes a difference.

I'm a big MMA fan. You'll often see fighter X give props to a fighter they beat to make themselves look better. What's funny to me is the sh!tting on Clark from many W players. I get it from a competitive standpoint, but It would make more marketing/business sense to prop up CC (not anoint her as the GOAT or whatever; just acknowledge she's pretty good). That way, if you beat Clark/Fever, it makes you and your team look better when you beat her/Indiana.

I don't think the players are scared of CC, but the coaches sure are.

An analogy: Rodman is equally good as Pippen or Jordan? Not even close. CC is Rookie of the Year

Fever has the better talent, but; Sky is a very aggressive team--- they are learning to use that aggressive energy to win and not hinder them into making mistakes

Lexie Brown was a Caitlin Clark hater? She literally said she thought Ice Cube should have offered her more money to play and was questioning why he wanted to take the WNBA's next superstar out of the league. *_That's a hater????_* 🤔 And 2 months ago she said that having Clark in the league was amazing, that Clark was handling the pressure well that everyone was proud of her and that they were glad she came to the WNBA. I guess if a player isn't kissing Clark's feet before each game they're a hater in the eyes of the Clark cult.

havent you notced, ballers that says nasty things of caitlin clark are ones who like pulling up their shorts...they want to show their other talent in doing that?

This is not surprising. It’s easy to tell when watching the game that they trying to make the others beat them.

🚨 breaking news 🚨 the best player is always number on the scouting reports

Reese is often rebounding her own missed shots.

scouting report does not mean they scared of her

Catlin gets picked up at 94ft on a nightly basis

I CANT WAIT FOR THE ALL STAR GAME BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WILL REALY SHOW THE PEOPLE HOW MUCH BETTER CC IS WHEN SHE NOT ON A TEAM WITH A HORRIBLE COACH AND A BUNCH OF TEAMMATES THAT DONT WANT TO PASS

Lexi isn’t even a has-been, she is a never-was. I’m a fan of her dad though…

Another reason she is hands down ROY

CC freaks them out. But I now get the sense that all boats will rise. For me it was the fake cut Plum/CC momennt in the final seconds of the Aces game. It was the first time when CC was on a WNBA court that she wasn't in the freaking ThunderDome. "We don't need another hero." Lol.

i mean she gets double teamed at half court every possession so yeah

Reese is getting rebounds from her own misses. 😂

Mick, I had a question for you. Went to the game last Tuesday against the Aces and Fever. And I was shocked to see how many coaches the fever have. They literally had like 12 coaches huddled up. Is that normal to have that many coaches? I didn’t see the aces with that many coaches.

You can tell they put CC on top of scouting reports lol they play defense on her from the start of the game to the end.. blitzing defense.. while court defense .. hard fouls etc plus her coach helping the other team lol

Reese is a Te in football where's Clark is the Qb

7:45 WoW 7&7 what a 🤡

The thing about Carter, she's not only a brilliant player, but she's consistent, and that makes her lethal. Very bright future for her.

now guarding man scared in basketball. well, we will just let steph Curry shoot open 3's all game

The best player on the ball team gets the scouting report focus. I am sure the Badgers had her on the top as well. That would have been Kemba Walker on the Hornets. I enjoy the new fans consistently patting themselves on the ass. Very fox news of yall.😂

JaVale McGee’s career PER is 19.6 which is better than Jason Kidd’s career PER of 17.9 so clearly McGee was a better offensive player than Kidd! 😂 thats why sometimes you can’t trust player efficiency rating

They are not scared of CC on defense though. Just let her have her 25 points and 12 assists and still win 91-82

All the early player hater last few weeks start seeing $10-20-30k paychecks from all those featured players during Ads during all games now. Money talks and these women lgqt are just the tools they figure those social activists heading up the CC haters they re already rich, we’ve been used for 25 years. getting paid now. CC is the honey showing them the money’s now its turned around since she responded the Carringtons scathing what seems like a long tine ago now silence is not a luxury words

Angel Reese = Dennis Rodman

You know I find some things you say as knowledgeable other things a very off base.

Angel Reese is a force, a rebounding machine, as far as an offensive weapon, not so much. She does score, the old saying "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once a while". She is a 39% shooter from under the basket.

Caitlin Clark is not that bad at defense. Seriously.

I wonder how many WNBA players now have crushes on Clark? You know how it is.....

CC 🏀👍🤘💪❤️

Clark doesn't even average a double double, Mick NEVER mentions this, Clark's averages are extremely average, she is a good rookie, but nothing more.

I love watching Angel Rees on the court because the girl is a human hurricane. Her arms and legs are everywhere. I've never seen a player put up 4 consecutive shots for one basket under the rim 😂❤

Angel Reese is way better defensive player than Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese guards the other team's best player. Unless they are point guard.

CC is the best at what she does, getting attention from everyone.

If CC is the offense for the Fever, why isn't she the leading scorer for the team????

I like ur videos but stop bringing up subs please 😮

I focused on Reese in her last couple of games. She was rarely guarded at all. If she's 10 ft from the hoop, they don't pay any attention to her at all. The only time anyone actually guards her is when she posts on the block. When the other team doubles a Chicago player or leaves someone to help out, it's ALWAYS the defender on Reese that leaves her to double team or help out. She out hustles everyone for rebounds but no one views her as any kind of offensive threat. Aside from offensive rebound put backs, of course. I still have tremendous respect for how hard she plays. It's just hard to compare them when one is the TOTAL focus of the other team, touches the ball 90% of the time, and runs the entire offense, forget about being the top of every teams scouting report and the other is a role player that rebounds.

She disappears in 4th quarters

So Mick, Angel's 13.2 pog is a lie? You know Clark only scores 2.8 more points per game than Angel? Sure Clark gives her team scoring opportunities with her assists, but so does Angel with her rebounds.... you're talking like there is a huge gap between them, when in fact it simply is not true! I would give Angel the edge, because she is consistent.

And they are doing a great job at suppressing her due to her lack of a deep bag. She cant dribble, she cant drive to the basket strong, she complains to the refs more than Luka Doncic(And thats my guy), she doesnt have a mid range game & all she can do is shoot the 3 off the pin down screen fading left, Not hard to stop her. Oh and BTW, SHE CANT GUARD! Her court vision and passing is great though but not good enough to win ROTY over Reese who is currently breaking records as a rookie and on an 11 game double double. And before anyone says she doesnt have a great team she has two other Allstars on her team in Mitchell and Boston. Boston won ROTY last season and this team should be playing through her. CC will get better but she will be a great role player in The W at best.

Clark can only shoot 3 pointers 😂😂😂

She was and is a hater

But does she lead the league in DOUBLE DOUBLES and REBOUNDS? Why are they being afraid of someone that averages 5 rebounds per game?

How is this news , of course she is, the only thing CC does is shoot 3s, of course you want to stop that and force her to pass, it's Caitlin's fault for not developing a crossover and 2 point jump shot

Nobody is a afraid of Clark. On June 23, 2024, Reese showed the world that she was the superior player....most podcasters like to pretend that game didn't happen,, but Reese out scored the 3 point specialist and completely outperformed her on the floor. This is a fact and facts don't care about opinions nor feelings. nor false narratives.
