I wish someone would mention the real story of the game. Before the Fever/Aces game today, Caitlin met with 14-year-old cancer survivor Bailey Lux. Bailey had also lost her mother to cancer. Bailey and Caitlin met while she was at University of Iowa children’s hospital. They met in 2022 when Lux was receiving treatments for MPNST. Clark and Kate Martin regularly visited the hospital and met Lux there. Clark spending time playing Mario Kart with her. The Make-a-Wish foundation sponsored Lux and her family to the game as her wish was to see Caitlin play in person. Bailey received an autographed jersey from the Aces and an autographed ball from the Fever. Clark said before the game, “This is what she spent her wish on. How cool is that.” Clark not only did volunteer work at the children’s hospital but at the local food bank, donating NIL money to keep it operating. When Clark was notified of getting AP player of the year, it was at the Children’s Hospital. Why, because she’s there visiting sick kids. It’s not just because of her great play that people like Clark. It’s because of the unbelievably kind person that she is.

Always great to watch the other team go on a run in a close game and have Sides sit there and watch the whole thing until it's out of hand. You know what timeouts are for, right?

@@user-nf6hd2zl7s , Simplistic conclusion: Only Boston was just barely over 50% shooting, so everyone was low. And Clark had 11 assists! The next highest on the team after that was 2! Imagine if others could have shot better off her passes! It seems a stretch to blame a loss on the person with highest assist count.

Caitlin is having trouble with her shooting right now. Very unusual for her. She also complained of a migraines. She also had a ruptured eardrum that can cause vertigo and balance problems that can seem very similar to migraines. Positional vertigo can be set off by movement, both physical and visual. it can be set off by sounds coming from different directions. It is something that doesn't respond well to trying to push through it. Often, laying down to rest or having the head in a particular position might make it worse. Hopefully, trainers and doctors are considering that as a possibility so if it is a cause of the problem, it can be healed properly to ensure that there are no chronic issues going forward.

The pain in Clark's face is obvious. She is not used to losing and she won't accept losing. Unfortunately, she joined a team that has had a losing culture for a long time now. It's a process, one that most #1 picks have to go through, but I trust that she'll figure it out, somehow. Whether or not the organization puts the right pieces around her to take that next step is a huge question mark, though. A losing culture is difficult to change, especially if you keep 99% of the pieces that were responsible for that losing culture.

The ignorance of the game of basketball with many of the Caitlin idolators is beyond comprehension. For real y’all super silly.

I feel that Indiana played well and like I said before, there will be ups and downs. Indiana should draw up specific plays for Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark. The rest of the team has to learn how to make the shots off of the incredible passes by Caitlin, if they miss their shots, then the pass is not valid. Another skill that the Fever should develop is the catch and shoot so as not to give the other team time to contest the shots. Otherwise, even though Indiana loss, it is still a positive. This team will only get better over time. Look at the small amount of time they have and they have already improved! Caitlin, if you see your teamates have an off night, take the bull by the horns and get more aggressive offensively and don't pass so much.

Caitlin is the GOAT in the making AND she is a player coach and this coach doesn't know how to handle her! Coach needs a coach!

Congrats to Caitlin, Aliyah, and Kelsey for getting the All-Star nod. Well-deserved.

Caitlin has no confidence in shooting more due to her needing to help her teammates perform. She’s leading assists cuz she’s being forced in situations where she has to pass. Her team isn’t helping her enough & it shows.

Sides has to go. She is not in tune with Clark, and Clark is the franchise. For some reason ownership can't admit that Clark is franchise. Clark is going to be ruined as an offensive player by the end of the year at this rate. You did not draft her for assists. Look what happens to star college quarterbacks who have bad NFL coaching. It only takes one bad coach one year to ruin them. Ultimately this comes down to an ancient owner (Simon is 89) and an ancient GM (Dunn is 77) who are in over their heads.

The first 3 quarters were competitive, but Sides let it slip away in the 4th. She should have called a time-out when they were down 9 instead of down 15. By then it was too late. Also Sides needed to intervene when Plum went on her hot streak. They needed to face guard and double team Plum to shut her down. Sadly CC was still not getting good screens from her teammates and few open looks, her low % came from being heavily guarded by Plum and double teamed. That is also on Sides. Fever need to fire Sides at the break.

Lousy D. Plum killed them; nobody could on her. Again Caitlin was MIA a good part of game. Great passes, but curious how many shots she took? The best scorer in NCAA history needs to be dominant, especially when the others were not hitting, except for Mitchell.

Note to the Fever Coach. I can't understand why there is no inside-out game plan. Ball goes into Boston, Caitlin runs to a spot and gets a pass from Boston (3 pointer) or pass back to Boston with re-establishment. Caitlin can't hit the 3's because she is covered and rushed. They need to free her up and give her more time. Most every time the ball goes inside it does not come out and when it does it certainly does not go to Caitlin. I am shocked this has not been worked out. There are numerous times when a team member gets it in the paint they force it up even when they are covered (bad shot). Pass the ball out.

She will improve on this. Nevertheless, they missed a lot of shots in the 4th quarter and could nor stop Vegas.

Too many missed shots but the Fever held on as long as they could.

Christie Sides is like Jeff Fisher. A defense coach that runs grade school plays. Todd Gurley had to point that out before management saw the light. Caitlin needs to bring out her inner Todd Gurley so they can go get a coach McVay to design plays.

Christie Sides has handcuffed the greatest scorer in the history of the womens game while watching her teammates miss shot after shot. When the Aces went on a 10-0 run there was no effort to check the run with an early timeout and by the time Coach Sides acted, the game was lost. Where are all the screens for CC? I mean, I thought she had to shoot a minimum of 15 times and the team was going to set screens. Mitchell is ignoring the coach and taking her shots and CC needs to start doing the same.

Sides thinks it is about her or the team. No, this Caitlin Clark's team. Anyone not on board with that needs to get a day job. That would be the first thing I would say as coach.

Like Diana Taurasi said- s easy to look good against other 18 yr olds... Clark was a great shooter in a lousey conference. Her % drops every game. This isn't Iowa anymore, the neat little logo 3 doesn't get it done. Thank god she shot 0 times in the 4th. And she's still chucking the ball recklessly and shatter the TO record Vegas had them in check the whole game. And like every great team, when the 4th quarter comes, you step on the neck and finish it.

@@SmithCommaBenjamin "This isn't Iowa anymore"? Maybe she had an eardrum that that cause vertigo or she is not used to use the colored ball or it's her first time to be on the worst team in her whole life or something.

CC will progress in her dribble/handle. She has a great tutor in teammate Kelsey.

Congrats on the All Star selections.

I loveee the way Aaliyah answers questions. She always only highlights positives and focus on that

Best day for the fever is the day this lady can’t even call her a coach gets fired

Sides is not a professional coach. Listen to game recaps of the coaches of the top teams and you can tell in 30 seconds the intelligence and professionalism that Sides can only dream of.

Sides is literally the worst coach I’ve ever seen or listened to. She’s destroying your money maker. She can’t say a good word about Caitlin. Is CLEARLY ruining her confidence. How can you keep allowing this to go on?

You all need to quit with the Sides hate, she isn't wrong about Caitlin's defense, this is her weakness. It will get better as she matures, however it is a problem. The main reason they lost was talent, Aces are more talented and mature. Fever were atrocious with their shooting. Good grief they missed so many free throws, layups and wide open threes. That's on the players. not the coach.

@@johnsaville9210 I said nothing about her defense, for starters. For two, Caitlin has the third best defensive stats on this team … Christie Sides is the worst “defensive specialist” coach I’ve ever seen

A losing team has the most All-Stars is wild.

Y'all were in it! Great work... keep building!!

Sides’ kitchen sink rotations make no sense.

Everyone is moving forward. Exciting times.

Can’t believe that I am now interested in WNBA.

Really, SIDES MUST GO IF THEY WANT A GREAT TEAM, or winning team.

Great to see humble players like the 3. Nvr enjoyed nor either watched WNBA. But this team made me watched and followed. Go Fever!

Congratulations to CC, Aliyah and Kelsey for making All Stars 🏀🏀Nj

Let's be real here. The Aces have 4 Olympians as starters. There was never the expectation the Fever would win this game.

All 3 are such class acts. Love this team.

Fire sides please

The bad shooting was really frustrating. Hitting even half of those missed shots would have kept them in the game.

It's not about stops. 69 points is not enough to win against teams that average mid to high 80s. Gotta shoot better. When this team starts scoring in the 90s consistently they will start winning consistently.

FF 35% 3PT 23% FT 53% its either they are getting shutdown by defense or their abysmal on shooting.... they need grace as starter for midrange shooting...

It really was a well-played team game--they have improved so much already--and if their shots had landed ... Rest and return, ladies!

Now imagine if shots were actually landing this game like the last one. It may have been very close or even a win. Gotta stay in the lab and get more consistent. We're halfway through the season, so it's only up from here.

This is the first time I've found my looking up who is a UFA next year and there's a lot of potential amazing vets in the middle of their careers ( 5 to7 yrs in the league) that could come in and immediately make a HUGE difference. But that will require the Fever getting rid of the GM and Coach first. Otherwise, it's pointless. All I care about is 12 women who ride or die for each other. And right now, I'm only seeing half of the team who have that personality. Maybe things will change in the 2nd half of the season, but with the body language I'm seeing, I'm not holding my breath. 2 players alone would free up $430K in cap space.

Plus, if they "hate" her so much, which the clowns like to spew everyday, why would they choose to play with her?

Mitchell don’t get too cocky u just started hitting these last two games😂

Sides has to go! Samuelson should have been sat down, her stats were in the toilet and her defense is beyond week. Why didn't Sides play Hull? She's a bruiser who can run. She can play defense. Why did Sides leave INEFECTIVE Samuelson in for so long and why didn't she play Hull? Sides is awful. She's terrible. When Indiana wants to win games they'll CAN SIDES.

First off when you are the best player you don’t get drafted by the Aces. Second off not bad for a team that still has a lot of holes to fill. 7-5 in there last 12 which is respectable. What did you think they were just gonna roll over teams because CC is there. A couple good free agents and another decent player from the draft this team can be very very good. Look the Aces have the best player in the league. A’Ja right now is the best player. Chelsea Grey is a premier point guard. Seen her in person she is huge. Kelsey Plum is pretty damn good there bench comes in and contributes. Hell Boston could not start for this team. I rather see CC help this team to a championship. Which may very well happen before free agency hits. Also beg for her to leave all you want she is under contract period!!! She can’t go anywhere. Not for 3 1/2 more years anyways.

Not sure if they were super confident tonight due to win against Mercury. Was hoping to see more shots land especially the free throw shots.

congrats to cc, ab and mitchell for all star. i hope fever can still make it to the playoffs.

#12 brings more to the table than Celeste Taylor? Pity. Rough game against the Champs. Where is Lexi? Sides need to go. You don't wait for a team to go on a 10-0 run then call time out. Damn shame.

When a player shooting is on a hot streak, you should change defenders, face guard them and not leave them for help defense or double team them at time. Anything to disrupt their flow. Coach Sides' defense approach to Plum's hot shooting was atrocious and clueless, if they limit Plum to her usual 16 to 20 points, , Fever may had a shot to win.

First congratulations to Kelsey,Aliyah, Caitlin for being in All-Star , ladies ya’ll had a good fight for the last three quarters ya’ll future looks bright, I’m proud of you ladies, some shots went in some didn’t but at the end of the day don’t beat yourself up give yourself some grace, ya’ll got this, ya’ll have to understand momentum when you face adversity and communicate each other on and off the court.

When she missed those shots I told my wife they should foul her all night long.

Skipped the sides beginning, went to the players. I just want to ask: who is holding hc accountable?? 77 year old GM dunn? The ancient, detached owner? No fan of the Fever I know thinks she is qualified to handle this unprecedented situation. Consider other options before next season, at the very least!

Nothing was working for the Fever. Smith missed 6 out 7 FT's. Nobody could shoot, catch or pass. There was a point in the 3Q/4Q where every shot the Fever took ... missed. It seemed like an eternity, but it was actually about 6-8 minutes of game time. Aces went on to a 10 - 0 run. Coach Sides has no idea how to run plays for Caitlin Clark to be able to get open. Screens for CC are weak, almost non-existent. Coach Sides has to be replaced if this team is going to be consistent, successful. CC needs plays designed to get her open. Reminds me of the famous quote about MJ in college… “The only person able to keep Jordan under 30 per game was Dean Smith.” This game was hard to watch. It's clear that if the Fever want to play up to their potential they need to #FireChristieSides I hear Bluder is available...

Coach Sides needs some lemon tea lol

Is sides supposed to make wide open shots for them..damn the players just sucked tonight. Katie Lou was no better than Wallace

I hope during Olympic break they focus passing the ball and footwork make them move fast in the court you have good passer in transition.
