Lexie was shooting logo 3s and shyt trying to show out


she took some very bad shots tonight for reasons only she knows. And leaving Nurse on Clark in the 4th was a terrible decision. Looks like Sides isn't the only bad coach in the league haha

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
When it’s all said and done a few things people will realize about Caitlin Clark.

1. She’s not a “generational” talent. She’s not the fastest, strongest or physically gifted player. She’s not the best ball handler. She’s not the best passer. She’s not even the best 3 point shooter. Nothing she does is superior to everyone else.

2. Teams who win games have a dominant post presence. Aaliyah Boston was an all star and rookie of the year for a reason. I can go on but it would be pointless. If the Fever go back to trying to let Clark shoot threes, they will lose every time. And Mitchell is actually better than Clark at this point.

Lastly, imagine you’ve never watched the NBA before and the only games you’re watching are of the Hawks because they drafted Trae Young. So the ONLY games you care about are the Hawks. You would think the NBA was ass. Or the NFL. Or any other sport. The Fever are rebuilding. So are the Sparks. They are not the best teams in the WNBA. But if all the league and media gonna do is showcase the Fever, then you will get bad basketball.

And for people hyping up Cardosa, she was Boston’s backup at South Carolina for a reason. She wasn’t better than Boston.

The rise of Clark is based 100% on race. Had she played a mostly white team or a team like UConn in the final four 2023, nobody would have cared. But because she played two mostly black teams, the country took notice and have ran with it ever since.

And I notice nikkas doing the same shyt they did during Lonzo Ball’s rookie year in LA with the star jewelzing :mjlol:

Laughing at the people who think Indy can't make the playoffs just because they lost their first 5 games.....In the NBA 25% of the teams make the playoffs...In the W 67% of the teams make the playoffs.......Indy more than any other team will get better for 4 reasons

* They've already played 6 games while most teams have played only 3 or 4....Saturday's game versus LV will be Indy's 7th gm......So they have the least amount of games remaining..

* After Saturday's game versus Vegas Indy will have played Conn/NY/LV 5 times...Which means they will have the easiest remaining schedule.

* Boston's condition will only improve as she is on the Olympic team.

* Clark will get a full month break to rest up and work on her weaknesses (Hoping Clark doesn't make the Olympic team, She needs to rest)

Indy will be in the mix to make the playoffs.

There is no such thing as an "easy schedule" in the WNBA. There are 12 teams and 42% of them are contenders (Aces, Wings(who will find themselves), Sun, Liberty, and this season the Mercury). The fever has to play the Sun and Liberty 4 more times total. They have to play the Aces and Mercury, 6 times total coming up. Add in 7 games total left agains Lynx and Sky along with 4 against the Dream. . The teams they don't have to worry about are the Mistics, Storm, and Sparks. They still struggled with the Storm and Sparks and that's saying a lot. The WNBA is like the NBA of the 60s. There are no nights off. Even the bad teams, you're playing an all star every night. There is no way to construct an "easy" schedule for them in a 12 team league. It will get better once the 4 new teams are added within the next 4 year and the great draft class of 2007 will be in their 2nd year. Then the nights off will occur more frequently because you will have women in the league then that aren't good enough to be in the league NOW.
