Like it or not, Caitlin is not going to get by without foul calls like she did in college.

How to kill all the potential revenue of a league that is already drowning: 1) Have the biggest star in decades debut. 2) Keep her out of the game with two phantom calls in the first 5 minutes just because everyone is jealous of her and want her to eat a good slice of the humble pie.

Refs need to go back to high school, Fever's offense looked horrible, (possible coaching issues), They need to let Clark be Clark.

Get better ref's. How do you call a foul on number 10, when there is no number 10 playing! Then, changed it to number 14... Second, Clark needs to shoot the ball more, even if she miss. Too much passing. Pull up w/the jumper before they double/triple team her. She will build her confidence and find her shot. Play HER game, not theirs or the coach.

It's apparent Sides is not a coach for the spot light. She hasn't set any plays for her players they can actually excite. I can see issues developing already.

Don't listen to the commentary she slapped her across the arm as she is going up for the shot on the first one.

Why doesn’t the coach challenge? They would have won those challenges. Or did I miss something. Lisa would’ve been in the ref’s faces defending her players.

This kind of officiating is the exact reason I stopped watching the NBA and College Basketball. Also, I was a Scholarship College Basketball Player and 2 Time Captain of my Team, with3 NBA Tryouts and offered a contract to play overseas! If I see this shit officiating 1 more time: *I'm Out!*

That is part of the problem. The other part is you’re apparently allowed to foul the crap out of Caitlin Clark.

WOW... such BS call on the first call ... ref needs to go.

Where was the fouls refs need glasses lol

Bad call on the second one. She suppose to wait and let her catch the ball in the air. let them be physically and play the game

Talk about the WNBA shooting itself in the foot.

Why they do her like that ?

I can't believe the fouls were on defense. I mean, she pushes off continually to create space for her own shot. I thought for sure those would be the calls.

Horrible refs! Horrible horrible horrible!

Guys these Ref's don't make that much you get what you pay for lol I know all professional sports is entertainment but you think they would want a closer game but the Fever isn't close to a contender yet . Why because I have questions about the roster a few players shouldn't even be on the team. Coaching may be a concern some of the lineups she used tonight was suspect. Hull and Taylor I would have liked to see some playing time tonight. The Fever needs another BIG and am surprised Wallace made the cut. I would have Clark and Mitchell be the starting Guards and have them switch off and on the point guard the hot hand runs the point. Smith is really good and Boston hasn't found her leg's yet but they need another BIG like smith lol

And my hype for the WNBA is dead now...

Its already funny 😅

The refs wants to stop CC's so she will not be firedup in the game.
