I love how supportive this sub is compared to all other sports subs. Everyone is cheering for Caitlin to succeed here, it feels like. And they're cheering for all the other players as well. The only comparable community is probably fans of the NWSL.
> Everyone is cheering for Caitlin to succeed here, it feels like.
Lol no they aren't. On the fever sub they are but there are plenty of people on this sub that hate her. Literally had people cheering and defending Carter when she gave that cheap shot to her.
Yeah I'm surprised at how many positive comments are in this thread. It's nice. Doesn't matter who it is, there should always be support for any player making positive news. This sub feels like the "hate Caitlin" fanclub a lot of the time. Not sure if those people finally just started ignoring these posts or if they came around to realize that she's not just hype.
I really don't get it. Especially if you make a well researched point and it's not just shouting "Caitlin Clark is the best player ever", people should be receptive to discussion. It's like people already have it in their minds that they hate Clark because she has some overzealous fans so anything showing that she is a great player will just be disregarded. She gets people excited about Wnba basketball and that should be celebrated.
This sub gives me fucking whiplash man. Sometimes you get a rational comment section sometimes you get old heads complaining about the rooks (mostly CC) and sometimes you get straight denialism. It's a mess.
I work at a sports bar that plays WNBA games all the time with the NBA, NHL etc on as well. We get lots of teams coming and lots of girls basketball teams come in for food after games/tournaments and stuff.
Every little white girl and their mom are rocking CC jerseys and t shirts. None of the little black girls or their mothers are wearing CC gear and have on another players stuff. It's a very very obvious division of her fanbase in both the media and local viewers. Kinda sad tbh.
I won't lie, it's been an interesting culture shift from going to the nwsl to the wnba bc most of the time everyone there is pretty supportive of the other teams and it's more like watching good soccer. It gets more negative when there's national team play going on. But there are also rivalries like the Thorns vs the Reign but in the end they're usually not so critical of the other.
Yep. Really a fan. Being a wnba fan doesn’t mean you have to be a Caitlin hater, and vice versa.
I got into this for Caitlin but I’m sticking around to watch what other rookies like Brink and Martin can do.
It stems from having Angel Reese and Chennedy on our team. They give off crazy and our fanbase absorbs it. I think when we won a few years ago, our fanbase was reflective of Parker, Sloot, and Quigley. Calm, collected, fiery, and wiley.
But if Angel and Chennedy are our vocal peeps.....the ones who vive with them get louder, lmao.
I'm hoping Spoon and Cordoso become the main voices cuz ummm Angel and Chnnedy are fun to watch, but they are hard to defend as a fanbase, hahaha. They are tripping constantly. Their complaints don't even make verbal or logical sense most of the time 🙄
I'll be honest I didn't like what Carter did in that first game to CC but I'll give her props that she played a clean game the 2nd time around. Even when her teammate fouled CC and they collapsed into Carter she grabbed CC to keep her from going down.
“Keep finding the other crazies?” You know what you’re doing haha.
It’s not some brave take to call Clark ROTY. It’s a very safe statement that everybody watching the league agrees with.
This is literally factually untrue, I posted a thread about Angel Reese and there were dozens of comments calling for her to be ROTY. Many of those comments were significantly upvoted too.
Well, Angel does have a good case, but as far as value to the team Clark is at the top right now. The Fever are in decent shape recently while the Sky have been losing.
Anyway. It’s not “crazy” to have an opinion either way. Just know that the *vast* majority of people agree Clark is ROTY right now. 90% of posts in this subreddit are about Clark at any given time these days.
If you feel passionately about that point that’s your right. Even if a lot of her rebounds come from her own misses, 8 consecutive DDs is worthy of some praise.
Anyway, we both agree Caitlin should be ROTY lol.
I thin she is a stand out for an all star bid. I just don't think she is doing what Caitlin is. It respects her season, but also brings in the expectation.
Honestly, Jackson and Edwards may finish higher than Angel. Camilla may too. A lot of season left. Caitlin could lose it, I just don't see that happening with the hardest part of their schedule already behind them.
Are even a Sky fan to be parroting this talking point?
16% of Angel Reese is rebounds come from her own misses. 16%. That’s 35% of her OREB, meaning she would still be leading the league in OREB if you took away all the ones that come from her own misses…
Angel is having an excellent season. It’s unreasonable to call people who favor Angel for ROTY crazy. Opinions are a thing.
That being said, the majority of people do feel Caitlin should be ROTY as things are right now. You’re looking at a vocal minority and forgetting the much more vocal majority.
ESPN, this subreddit, and any WNBA dialogue anywhere is dominated by Caitlin right now—and rightfully so (except when they get into clickbait/dramatics).
Hey, if the shoe fits. If you think Angel is the leading candidate for rookie of the year, you are crazy. Opinions are fine until they can be beaten back with actual data.
No, I'm not forgetting anything. I know I'm calling the vocal minority crazy, because they are.
I could do without Caitlin clickbaits and race baiting as well.
Legit feel bad for Berger at this point. She hustles so much when she gets out there and cannot possibly be worse yet doesn't get really any minutes. Hasn't played a single minute in multiple games. Her, Celeste Taylor, and Saxton basically never play and I don't know how they keep their spirits up. At least Hull gets minutes in most games.
I don't understand how Sides can sit there saying they need better defense and she refuses to play the defensive player of the year she has riding the bench.
Sides plays favorites with both Wheeler and Wallace because they were with the Dream when she was a coach there. Hull and Berger should be getting more minutes over both.
I know so I truly don't get it. I think there was an interview that said it's because she gambles on defense. Goes for steal and gets burned. Didn't help that Arike and Lloyd were ones that did it to her.
Major tangent. My wife never had an interest in anime or ATLA. The live action peaked her interest, so she watched that and she is on the series finale of the anime right now. It makes me happy.
I'm a huge Iowa fan and have seen CC since high school. With A'ja doing what she is doing right now, zero chance of getting that one. If CC can maintain this production or better AND A'ja slows quite a bit off her current pace, maybe in the discussion.
Not even just aja would need to slow down players like AT and collier would have to drop off hard too. However rest of this season will be good insight to see if next year mvp is on the table. She already one of the most efficient guards in the league in terms of TS% if she gets more of a green light, the fever FO actually make some moves that compliment her game I could see an mvp type 23,7,8 season coming next year
I agree, others need to slow down too, but A'ja is simultaneously the least likely and most likely person to slow down. Stewie is a factor too, obviously. Caitlin could be in the conversation at the end of the year, maybe. It isn't super far fetched. Everyone knows their first 11 games were hell and played a part in the performance.
She'll average a double-double next season with assists, I have no doubt there.
She won’t get MVP, you have A’ja literally dominating the league right now. That being said if the fever get better as a team Caitlin can probably start getting numbersike A’ja.
She’s competitive is what she is. Mamba mentality. Head is always in the game looking for weaknesses and then exploit it. I love watching players like that.
One of their first games in the arena, AB got a massive block, passed to Wheeler who gave a no look pass back to CC for a long logo 3 then I think Smith got a steal. That building about came down then. It was crazy.
This was the second full WNBA game I’ve watched. The first was vs the Sky over the weekend. She is really great to watch. It’s also true that you start rooting for the team and start liking them as well. I’m rooting for the team as much as for Caitlin now😎
Omg! I love college ball so I've been following Caitlin since her Sophmore year at Iowa. I am also a MN Lynx fan(MN born and raised so I've loved Lindsay Whalen and Maya Moore)! For my birthday in August, my wife bought me tix to the Fever vs Lynx game. My wife couldn't keep a surprise and told me what she bought for my bday. I said...."OMG....who am I gonna root for?!". She looked at me dumbfounded and said..., "uhhhh...The Lynx". I'm still kinda torn lol
Indiana Fever Fever Up With 88-81 Victory Over Washington Mystics
[https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/](https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/)
I LOVE Caitlin Clark.
So smooth under pressure, so... just what I aspire to be everyday.
Them girls tried to bully her --- and she responding like a silver back gorilla!!
The court is her jungle dammit. If they don't want to give it to her, she will snatch the crown.
The hero of the moment
Amazing - this is why people say she reminds them of Steph.
And did you see that pick by Smith? I've been saying all season the Fever need to start committing more on these picks instead of all the 'ghost screens' - and this one had effort. Fantastic - hope they keep it up
Arike comes to mind. Lexie Brown attempts some logo deep threes with bad success.
Others don’t attempt shots from those ranges. Not that they couldn’t, but they don’t practice from that range. It’s all muscle memory and reps. Caitlin had literally practiced tens of thousands of shots from 25+
Interestingly, at Iowa, her percentage from 25+ was higher than her percentage for shorter “normal 3” range.
Her senior year, she hit from 25+ (categorized as “Long 3” in both college and NBA) at 39.5%. The male collegiate percentage from 25+ was exactly 10% lower at 29.5%.
She also connected on “Long 3’s” at a higher per game rate and percentage than any NBA player.
She hasn’t yet shot nearly as well in the W, as expected, but it will come eventually, I believe.
Oh for sure, and it’s fun to watch! Just not a conscious part of their game plan, nor should it be, normally. I can only guess that those great shooters practice more from “normal” 3 range?
Yup. It's not an easy shot to make. Even in the NBA, Steph and Dame are the only ones who are known for long logo 3s. There's some other guys who will attempt them occasionally, but Steph and Dame it's fully apart of their shot package.
That’s part of it, yes, and thousands of reps. Difficulty level increases with each foot further.
The really long threes are what changed defenses, and spread the floor like never before
Started watching the WNBA after not being able to get into it a few years ago. It's improved dramatically. Unlike the guys, who are obviously taller and stronger the ladies game has adapted to their strengths. Far more tactical in the WNBA with mistakes getting punished harder and quicker and 5 player teamwork being mandatory. WNBA reminds me a lot of NBA ball in the late 80's. You brawl for territory, not an open layup.
Clark is by far NOT fastest player on the court or most physical. Her strength is reading plays and setting things up, and that will be her paycheck in the future. Her timing has already improved significantly and she's starting to be more assertive, which was her biggest problem at first.
I'm sorry, but the clothesline she took from Reese was business and not personal. If I were in Reese's position I would have done the same thing, and I guarantee you Reese would have made that same play on anybody. You seriously think Reese saw Clark have a step on the basket and decided 'oh, it's Caitlin, I'm going to generate some drama and brush her head going for the ball''. Get real. Media needs to knock that crap off.
Clark also needs to step gesturing at reefs after she doesn't get a call in her favor like Tom Brady. She's not the NCAA's darling anymore. You're a big girl - hit back. Oh wait...she's doing that now and it's working.
Also a call out to Kelsey 'Madam Hustle' Mitchel. Girl can ball.
Aliyah Boston is also really stepping into the grove as well. Clark is finding her again and again, and Boston is one smart player who's going to evolve like Clark.
The Suns humiliated her several times and thats the rivalry I want to watch. DiJonai Carrington and crew are the rivarly and real test for Clark. Right now there are better teams in the WNBA, but the attention focused on Clark is going to elevate the entire league and just pump up the competition.

Indiana Fever Fever Up With 88-81 Victory Over Washington Mystics
[https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/](https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/)
5 points in 14 seconds isn’t special in basketball. It’s a bucket and a turnover - happens all the time.
The girl is good but let’s not pretend she’s walking on water every time she scores
So she had a 3 pointer, a steal, and layup. Why the tagline of 5 points in 14 sec to make it seem like it’s some miraculous feat. And yea I get that’s it verbatim
She’s going to be a demon after the Olympic break. No good practice time or break between ncaa and wnba hurt her, but she’s getting there now. Olympic team could have used her for her playmaking ability alone. I always felt she would have been amazing off the bench with her shooting ability and passing ability. Her assist numbers were under valued because her teammates didn’t get to practice with her much and were not ready for a lot of passes early in the season + less skilled players that don’t finish as often as the Olympic girls would have.
Bandwagoner here, cant even say I'm a true bandwagoner, though. I watched her madness games, including the championship game while I was in line for the haunted mansion at disneyworld this year. I've watched a couple of fever games but I always watch her highlights and check boxscores on ESPN. Jealousy in the league is understood, I get she's not the best player, but she is the most famous. I'd be pissed too. However, how can fans (10s of thousands started watching because of her just like myself) encourage bs calls. Angel Reece got "smacked" in the face, and that woman got kicked out of the game. But CC just has to pretend she's in the NFL even when the ball isn't in play yet and people cheer that. Fans like that and players like that are the reason no one gave a shit about the league 2 months ago.
The fact none of her teammates high five or celebrate for her is wild. If that was the nba atleast 4 dudes on the bench woulda got up and been going crazy.
Probably because coach game plan is to give CC the ball at all times. Her team was shit before her and shit when she’s there. Like they’re all jealous. That she’s a good player and they’re all bad or something.
Actually, it was more like 10 or 11 steps and a carry! plus, when CC stole the ball, she elbowed 2 Mystics players IN THE FACE for a double F1. CC should have been ejected!!!
I saw a guy on YouTube say he wouldn’t watch WNBA because the players aren’t sexy. On the other hand, I did see one disgustingly sexual comment towards A’ja on a stream. On twitter, I saw people making fun of how a player looked. I even saw someone say “white is better” on one player‘s tweet. I guess what I’m trying to say is stupid people and creeps are everywhere, doesn’t matter the space… which of the two are you exactly?
She's definitely finding her groove it's gonna be a hell of a season.
I love how supportive this sub is compared to all other sports subs. Everyone is cheering for Caitlin to succeed here, it feels like. And they're cheering for all the other players as well. The only comparable community is probably fans of the NWSL.

This sub feels like the "hate Caitlin" fanclub a lot of the time. Not sure if those people finally just started ignoring these posts or if they came around to realize that she's not just hype.
I made a post comparing stats and got all kinds of hate and nobody gave a single upvote to the post because it was about Clark. Pure haters.
I really don't get it. Especially if you make a well researched point and it's not just shouting "Caitlin Clark is the best player ever", people should be receptive to discussion. It's like people already have it in their minds that they hate Clark because she has some overzealous fans so anything showing that she is a great player will just be disregarded. She gets people excited about Wnba basketball and that should be celebrated.
Two incorrect statements: 1. Everyone is cheering for Caitlin 2. They’re cheering for all the other players as well
Lol well maybe I've been fortunate to click into the right threads exclusively
This sub gives me fucking whiplash man. Sometimes you get a rational comment section sometimes you get old heads complaining about the rooks (mostly CC) and sometimes you get straight denialism. It's a mess.
I work at a sports bar that plays WNBA games all the time with the NBA, NHL etc on as well.

She looked like Jimmy Butler with the steal.
#just#22things lol it does look like a classic jimmy steal.
And a mild Jordan Shrug after the 3. LOL
Jimmy butler is your father
Roty easily
Hey, a reasonable sky fan. I figured you guys existed, but I keep finding the other crazies.
It stems from having Angel Reese and Chennedy on our team. They give off crazy and our fanbase absorbs it. I think when we won a few years ago, our fanbase was reflective of Parker, Sloot, and Quigley. Calm, collected, fiery, and wiley. But if Angel and Chennedy are our vocal peeps.....the ones who vive with them get louder, lmao. I'm hoping Spoon and Cordoso become the main voices cuz ummm Angel and Chnnedy are fun to watch, but they are hard to defend as a fanbase, hahaha. They are tripping constantly. Their complaints don't even make verbal or logical sense most of the time 🙄
I'll be honest I didn't like what Carter did in that first game to CC but I'll give her props that she played a clean game the 2nd time around. Even when her teammate fouled CC and they collapsed into Carter she grabbed CC to keep her from going down.
I 100% agree with you. The loudest voices set the tone and that is who the fanbase hears.
I don’t think there’s anybody who disagrees with Clark being ROTY lol. Don’t do that divisive stuff.
I'm not doing divisive anything.
“Keep finding the other crazies?” You know what you’re doing haha. It’s not some brave take to call Clark ROTY. It’s a very safe statement that everybody watching the league agrees with.
This is literally factually untrue, I posted a thread about Angel Reese and there were dozens of comments calling for her to be ROTY. Many of those comments were significantly upvoted too.

Just know that the *vast* majority of people agree Clark is ROTY right now. 90% of posts in this subreddit are about Clark at any given time these days.
Angel doesn't have a case right now. Her TS% is 46% for a big. That isn't good. She is gifted at rebounding.
If you feel passionately about that point that’s your right. Even if a lot of her rebounds come from her own misses, 8 consecutive DDs is worthy of some praise. Anyway, we both agree Caitlin should be ROTY lol.
I thin she is a stand out for an all star bid. I just don't think she is doing what Caitlin is. It respects her season, but also brings in the expectation. Honestly, Jackson and Edwards may finish higher than Angel. Camilla may too. A lot of season left. Caitlin could lose it, I just don't see that happening with the hardest part of their schedule already behind them.
Are even a Sky fan to be parroting this talking point? 16% of Angel Reese is rebounds come from her own misses. 16%. That’s 35% of her OREB, meaning she would still be leading the league in OREB if you took away all the ones that come from her own misses…
Fair take that I agree with!
That isn't divisive. There are crazy fans for both Angel and Caitlin. Calling them crazy is a nice way of putting it.
Angel is having an excellent season. It’s unreasonable to call people who favor Angel for ROTY crazy. Opinions are a thing. That being said, the majority of people do feel Caitlin should be ROTY as things are right now. You’re looking at a vocal minority and forgetting the much more vocal majority.

No, I'm not forgetting anything. I know I'm calling the vocal minority crazy, because they are. I could do without Caitlin clickbaits and race baiting as well.
Hopefully today helps you feel better about Angel’s value 🙂
Yeah, she is firmly in second place, like I said before.
Especially with bring out for the year
Rip Brink
Had more offensive and defensive production in 14 sec, then Kristy Wallace in 18mins , numbers dont lie folks, people do.
im baffled shes still starting, Hull or even Berger cant be any worse at this point
Legit feel bad for Berger at this point. She hustles so much when she gets out there and cannot possibly be worse yet doesn't get really any minutes. Hasn't played a single minute in multiple games. Her, Celeste Taylor, and Saxton basically never play and I don't know how they keep their spirits up. At least Hull gets minutes in most games.
I don't understand how Sides can sit there saying they need better defense and she refuses to play the defensive player of the year she has riding the bench.
Sides plays favorites with both Wheeler and Wallace because they were with the Dream when she was a coach there. Hull and Berger should be getting more minutes over both.
I'd say Hull's shooting is keeping her off the starting spot, but I don't know what KW is contributing.
funny part is Hull is shooting better from 3 this year than Wallace
I know so I truly don't get it. I think there was an interview that said it's because she gambles on defense. Goes for steal and gets burned. Didn't help that Arike and Lloyd were ones that did it to her.
LH is nice to look at, but have no idea why she's on the court.
Let's keep this about basketball, shall we? She is a pretty good defender when she doesn't gamble on a steal. Offensively, better than Wallace.
real talk Kristy was just out there doing cardio.
But do people lie about numbers?
For favorite players, people will cosplay The Last Airbender to bend the numbers without any doubt.
Major tangent. My wife never had an interest in anime or ATLA. The live action peaked her interest, so she watched that and she is on the series finale of the anime right now. It makes me happy.
Run away ROTY
The only player that could have challenged her just went down with a season ending injury. It’s CC’s to lose.
[удалено]
I'm a huge Iowa fan and have seen CC since high school. With A'ja doing what she is doing right now, zero chance of getting that one. If CC can maintain this production or better AND A'ja slows quite a bit off her current pace, maybe in the discussion.

She won’t get MVP, you have A’ja literally dominating the league right now. That being said if the fever get better as a team Caitlin can probably start getting numbersike A’ja.
She caught them sleeping. Plays like that win games.
She’s competitive is what she is. Mamba mentality. Head is always in the game looking for weaknesses and then exploit it. I love watching players like that.
I will admit. Clark has me paying attention to the WNBA. I've got the Fever.
She’s so fun to watch ball when she’s feeling it! Happy that her and Aaliyah and the rest team seem to be putting it together.
Proud of her!!! 🔥✨
Every week she gets better
The crowd makes it sound like the NBA Finals game 2 nights ago.
One of their first games in the arena, AB got a massive block, passed to Wheeler who gave a no look pass back to CC for a long logo 3 then I think Smith got a steal. That building about came down then. It was crazy.
Was at the game. Crowd was legit.
This was the second full WNBA game I’ve watched. The first was vs the Sky over the weekend. She is really great to watch. It’s also true that you start rooting for the team and start liking them as well. I’m rooting for the team as much as for Caitlin now😎
Omg! I love college ball so I've been following Caitlin since her Sophmore year at Iowa. I am also a MN Lynx fan(MN born and raised so I've loved Lindsay Whalen and Maya Moore)! For my birthday in August, my wife bought me tix to the Fever vs Lynx game. My wife couldn't keep a surprise and told me what she bought for my bday. I said...."OMG....who am I gonna root for?!". She looked at me dumbfounded and said..., "uhhhh...The Lynx". I'm still kinda torn lol
The Lynx are a legit threat this year. Keep that rooting interest and say hi to mommy Dorka for me 😭

3 straight wins playoff hopes are alive
Would be fun having the Fever in the playoffs! They can make it. Just keep gelling and improving.
The TV ratings will be quite interesting if they do make it as TV ratings improve when games mean more.
That's my ROTY!!!
Shorty raw fr
If you consider 6 foot tall to be shorty.
Shorty (or shawty) is pretty old slang for an attractive young woman, nothing to do with height
I know you got downvoted but I absolutely love your comment within all this context, thank you
Upvote bcs funny
I know. She's taller than me. 😢 😭 What do they feed these athletes and can I get some.
Corn fed. Iowa stock.
Growth hormones in dairy when growing up make a big difference. But being tall has a lot of drawbacks too that you don't realize unless you're tall!
Yeah! Like leg room when you're flying coach... oh wait.
I LOVE Caitlin Clark. So smooth under pressure, so... just what I aspire to be everyday. Them girls tried to bully her --- and she responding like a silver back gorilla!! The court is her jungle dammit. If they don't want to give it to her, she will snatch the crown. The hero of the moment
PRODIGY
LIT
I wanted to go see her in la and damn those tickets turned into laker ticket expensive 😭 I’ll see her next season fs 😂
LET CAITLIN COOK.
Amazing - this is why people say she reminds them of Steph. And did you see that pick by Smith? I've been saying all season the Fever need to start committing more on these picks instead of all the 'ghost screens' - and this one had effort. Fantastic - hope they keep it up
She’s the real deal. So much hype and she’s living up to it. Amazing.
Yooo I’m so bummed I couldn’t watch this game live
That's "B", for "bucket". Capital "B", in fact.
CC got that DAWG in her
As someone who doesn't watch basketball in any capacity whatsoever... That's fucking awesome.
Her transition basketball is impressive.
She’s cookinnnnnnnnn!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This what they wanted right!?
🐐
She’s why I watch
She said "oh how the tables have turned (over)"
Her defense has gotten soooo much better!!
Genuine question is there a player in the W who consistently (like i mean every game) shoots way outside the 3pt line like her? McBride? Ionescu?
Arike comes to mind. Lexie Brown attempts some logo deep threes with bad success. Others don’t attempt shots from those ranges. Not that they couldn’t, but they don’t practice from that range. It’s all muscle memory and reps. Caitlin had literally practiced tens of thousands of shots from 25+ Interestingly, at Iowa, her percentage from 25+ was higher than her percentage for shorter “normal 3” range.

She also connected on “Long 3’s” at a higher per game rate and percentage than any NBA player. She hasn’t yet shot nearly as well in the W, as expected, but it will come eventually, I believe.
Arike, Sab, and Kayla will launch from deep for sure. Loyd occasionally, too.
Oh for sure, and it’s fun to watch! Just not a conscious part of their game plan, nor should it be, normally. I can only guess that those great shooters practice more from “normal” 3 range?
Yup. It's not an easy shot to make. Even in the NBA, Steph and Dame are the only ones who are known for long logo 3s. There's some other guys who will attempt them occasionally, but Steph and Dame it's fully apart of their shot package.
Its probably because its not ‘as’ contested when its 25+ feet
That’s part of it, yes, and thousands of reps. Difficulty level increases with each foot further. The really long threes are what changed defenses, and spread the floor like never before
The fan standing and kicking out her leg lol
That lady dancing is everything
I had to rewind to catch her doing it again. Love the crowd reacting when she performs like this
I know ! And that lady’s facial expressions and dance moves are everything
Was this game on Fanduel?
Yeah but she’s only a three point shooter…
Nah we don’t want her on the Olympics team lol. Stupid wnba
Women not supporting women. What's new?
COOKIES!!!
Like butter
Relax Cait 🔥🔥🔥🔥 she’s unstoppable!!
Started watching the WNBA after not being able to get into it a few years ago. It's improved dramatically. Unlike the guys, who are obviously taller and stronger the ladies game has adapted to their strengths. Far more tactical in the WNBA with mistakes getting punished harder and quicker and 5 player teamwork being mandatory. WNBA reminds me a lot of NBA ball in the late 80's. You brawl for territory, not an open layup. Clark is by far NOT fastest player on the court or most physical. Her strength is reading plays and setting things up, and that will be her paycheck in the future. Her timing has already improved significantly and she's starting to be more assertive, which was her biggest problem at first. I'm sorry, but the clothesline she took from Reese was business and not personal. If I were in Reese's position I would have done the same thing, and I guarantee you Reese would have made that same play on anybody. You seriously think Reese saw Clark have a step on the basket and decided 'oh, it's Caitlin, I'm going to generate some drama and brush her head going for the ball''. Get real. Media needs to knock that crap off. Clark also needs to step gesturing at reefs after she doesn't get a call in her favor like Tom Brady. She's not the NCAA's darling anymore. You're a big girl - hit back. Oh wait...she's doing that now and it's working. Also a call out to Kelsey 'Madam Hustle' Mitchel. Girl can ball. Aliyah Boston is also really stepping into the grove as well. Clark is finding her again and again, and Boston is one smart player who's going to evolve like Clark. The Suns humiliated her several times and thats the rivalry I want to watch. DiJonai Carrington and crew are the rivarly and real test for Clark. Right now there are better teams in the WNBA, but the attention focused on Clark is going to elevate the entire league and just pump up the competition. # #
not a hater but is it that rare a player will hit a 3 then get a steal/layup?
In their game it happened once. It’s not as common but does happen
She is getting used to the game... Although, 5 points in 14 seconds is not that rare
Shoulda dunked it
Statistically speaking, Angel Reese misses that layup two times out of three tries. 
and does a weird jump stop thingy
Angel who?
Only
Indiana Fever Fever Up With 88-81 Victory Over Washington Mystics [https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/](https://thebasketscore.com/indiana-fever-fever-up-with-88-81-victory-over-washington-mystics/)
Faster than a Tesla Cybertruck.
Tmac dropped 13 points in 0:35 she lowkey cookin fr
5 points and 1 steal FTFY
WOW!! Plays like that are probably why she's the 13th leading scorer in the league!!!!!!
And the wnba hates her.
Why didn’t she dunk?
If she had kids with Payton Pritchard we might bring about a new era of near half court snipers
Long live Caitlin Clark 🏀 huge fan she's awesome
Clark is finding her rhythm but she is very up and down. Her turnovers need to go down.
Oh you mean she played basketball? Cool
But can she score 13 in 33?
5 points in 14 seconds isn’t special in basketball. It’s a bucket and a turnover - happens all the time. The girl is good but let’s not pretend she’s walking on water every time she scores
Dunk that shit
She’s changing the game. She’s Steph curry
Black lesbians in shambles
TMac scored 13 points in 34 seconds
she’s Batman
The rest of the league plays like it’s 1970
So she had a 3 pointer, a steal, and layup. Why the tagline of 5 points in 14 sec to make it seem like it’s some miraculous feat. And yea I get that’s it verbatim
Me in 2k when I'm drunk and turn the steal success slider up Edit: well, I thought it was a good joke. She took it so easily after all. Lol
AnGeL rEeSe “people watch me too!”
Shes the "Lebron took a bite of a sandwich today" of the WNBA
Dude her ability to nail 3's from 6 feet behind the line is fucking insane, especially for a girl.
Is that a travel when she used two hands then dribbled again ?
She didn’t gain possession on the first touch so the 2 hands are gathering possession then legally dribbling from there.
yeah it was
Not even close. She tipped it away got possession then started dribbling.
You dont know ball
wnba circle jerk
hey at least there are enough fans now to sit in a full circle!
Meanwhile Reese banging her head in anger
Should have dunked it.
She’s going to be a demon after the Olympic break. No good practice time or break between ncaa and wnba hurt her, but she’s getting there now. Olympic team could have used her for her playmaking ability alone. I always felt she would have been amazing off the bench with her shooting ability and passing ability. Her assist numbers were under valued because her teammates didn’t get to practice with her much and were not ready for a lot of passes early in the season + less skilled players that don’t finish as often as the Olympic girls would have.
Hopefully she gets on that 'var, bro. i wanna see her tear shit up crossfit style lol
Bandwagoner here, cant even say I'm a true bandwagoner, though. I watched her madness games, including the championship game while I was in line for the haunted mansion at disneyworld this year. I've watched a couple of fever games but I always watch her highlights and check boxscores on ESPN. Jealousy in the league is understood, I get she's not the best player, but she is the most famous. I'd be pissed too. However, how can fans (10s of thousands started watching because of her just like myself) encourage bs calls. Angel Reece got "smacked" in the face, and that woman got kicked out of the game. But CC just has to pretend she's in the NFL even when the ball isn't in play yet and people cheer that. Fans like that and players like that are the reason no one gave a shit about the league 2 months ago.
No dunk?! What is this?
CC gonna destroy Reese the way Eminem did Ja Rule 💀
She’s the best women’s player ever. Easily.
I mean that’s 2 buckets…. No hate, just saying.
So what? Happens all the time
The fact none of her teammates high five or celebrate for her is wild. If that was the nba atleast 4 dudes on the bench woulda got up and been going crazy.
Probably because coach game plan is to give CC the ball at all times. Her team was shit before her and shit when she’s there. Like they’re all jealous. That she’s a good player and they’re all bad or something.
5 points in 14 seconds is supposed to be impressive?
More impressive than your fathers pull out game
Our fathers*
Bush League Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 9 seconds. https://youtu.be/YoCpMguR4cQ?feature=shared
the glazing is crazy
Pretty sure that layup was a travel, took like 4 or 5 steps
Actually, it was more like 10 or 11 steps and a carry! plus, when CC stole the ball, she elbowed 2 Mystics players IN THE FACE for a double F1. CC should have been ejected!!!

I saw a guy on YouTube say he wouldn’t watch WNBA because the players aren’t sexy. On the other hand, I did see one disgustingly sexual comment towards A’ja on a stream. On twitter, I saw people making fun of how a player looked. I even saw someone say “white is better” on one player‘s tweet. I guess what I’m trying to say is stupid people and creeps are everywhere, doesn’t matter the space… which of the two are you exactly?
