Plus it can also help the other players on your team bc your seeing it differently from the bench than on the floor. I’ve heard many players talk about this and how it made a difference.

She is scratching her head wondering why it did not work this game.

She didn’t look this way walking off the court at the end. Can you imagine being primarily responsible for your team coming back and then not given the chance to tie the game with the last play? Her face reflected what I think a lot of Fever fans felt - disappointment over a missed opportunity of giving Clark the chance to tie the game.

What irks me is this undermines Caitlin's confidence on defense! My word ... How many rebounds, steals and blocks can a point guard have and have the coach still leave in a 5'8 guard or bring in a cold replacement??? Sides doesn't want Caitlin to make the buzzer beater or be on the court for that defensive rebound!!!
Sides said they are going to watch tape tomorrow and figure out what was different between the 1st 3 qtrs and the 4th qtr. Spoiler alert for Sides: Caitlin must have been fed up with the huge deficit and took matters into her own hands! Lexi and Kelsey joined in. Lexi's defense was stellar.
This game loss is not on Mitchell or any of the other team members. This loss is on Christie, she changed the synergy of this team by changing the starting five. Here’s a tip Christie, please STOP messing with what works!!!😊

I think it irritates Sides that Clark is so confident in her basketball knowledge which is why Sides seems to always be trying to show Clark who is boss by humbling her with public criticism, sharing Clark's texts, benching her at the end of tight games, and leaving her out of plays. If Sides doesn't think people don't see it, she is wrong.
Fire Sides! Fire Sides! Fire Sides! The better you can do is to leave, you're the one giving away the game,
Garbage coaching. Bring in an Ex NBA coach and send this team to greater heights.
It feels like the only person not growing with this young team is Sides. I truly don't understand her coaching decisions. She tinkers way to much. Sides seemed like she couldnt adjust to the back door cut by Washington
In what reality, with the game on the line, do you put your best player on the bench? Sides has done this time after time, and it hasn't yet yielded a positive outcome. This notion that Clark is weak defensively is simply moronic. She had 5 steals and 3 blocked shots today and she's a very good rebounder. Putting Clark on the bench takes the flow of the game away from her. Clark is the best transition player in the game, now you've taken that opportunity away. The Christie Sides experiment needs to end. From one day to the next, fans are never sure which Fever team will show up. Big win against the Liberty then down 21 to the Mystics, that simply defies logic.

Should have been a free win today. Boston can't get in foul trouble early like that. Kelsey can't go 0 for 8 from 3 point range and then get a play drawn up for her in the final seconds when Caitlin is having a legacy game. Caitlin nearly just won the game by herself in trhe 4th quarter and sides draws up a play for Mitchell. Makes ZERO sense.
Man I wanted her to discuss the starter change reason.
Christie Sides needs to play her best starting lineup which is Caitlin, AB, Lexie, Smith, & Mitchell. Dantas needs to play every minute that AB is out of the game. Wheeler & Samuelson should come off the bench in limited minutes.

No keep Katie Lou as the starter at the 3 and Lexi brings energy off the bench

@@breezybreeze12 No. I like Samuelson but her shot isn't falling and she can't defend. Lexie greatly helps the team on defense and offense. And she makes sure that Caitlin gets the ball. In fact Caitlin plays her best with Lexie on the floor. In today's game it was Caitlin & Lexi leading the way. The starting lineup should be Caitlin, Lexie AB, Smith, & Mitchell. Dantas & Temi should be the 1st players off the bench. Samuelson & Wheeler needs to come off the bench and play limited minutes.

She hates CC
I think you start either Hull or Samuelson, but not both at the same time. Fagbenle makes a big difference we she's healthy, she's really the only big they have with speed. They were out hustled big time on rebounds.

I agree.
She clearly taking orders from someone else to make them lose
She is so fucking analytical, observant and well spoken. The hype she has now will be just as high with her debut coaching career. Maybe more....
They need to watch video for 12 hours a day until next game
New Coach, Please!!
CC needs a better coach than Sides. Sides needs to be fired!!

Caitlin Clark broke the turnover record in history for the WNBA and the reps keep giving false foul calls so CC can stack her point will not work with better teams. The coach has a hard time trying to keep the narrative on point, in other words the coach is not the blame!
fire sides

Don't do that. You can't try to blame the rest of the team when we lose & congratulate C-Squared when we win. Issa team game. They are still trying to gel together as a team. Caitlin is probably the most valuable individual player to their team in the entire W & since she's so dynamic especially on offense, it takes a lot to understand how she thinks & how she plays. We're 3 games ahead of where we were last year which is a plus & we're coming off a win against the best team in the league, The Liberty which is better than ANY individual win we got last year. I believe we have the skill & ability to be a top 5 team & The Fever have shown spurts of it, we just can't do it on a consistent basis because we're the youngest team in the W. Be patient & let The Fever keep cooking up that championship level chemistry that I know we're capable of reaching.

Not sure if this is why, but she wasn't even on the bench to begin the game so maybe something was preventing her from starting.
when the team do something right the coach sides says “we” when the team do something wrong they are “they” no accountability at all. and I don’t think she notices that tho’
Caitlin is so intelligent and basketball savvy!!! Coach Sides talks the talk but cant instruct to save her life!!!

Yet another loss that can be laid at the feet of a poor coaching, poor lineup decision. You'd almost think she doesn't want the team to win...
Whoever fixed the audio quality, THANK YOU!! The past couple postgame videos have been excellent.
CC willed this team to come back. Sides didn't know how to adjust...as usual. Difficult to watch. I feel badly for the players at this point.
come on coach after a great win you switch up the lineups??? we are on the line for the playoffs its not the time to experiment when you had a team meshing well. im okay with lexie starting cause she is tenacious even when the team loses theirs but taking smith out was Not it.. cc, boston, smith, mitchell, and hull/samuelson.. that is the lineup until temi returns i feel like this is an obvious thing? am i wrong or something? i dont think so. everyone sees it
Clark makes one wonder if the team would be better with Clark as a player/coach. Probably not workable but I've never considered such a thing till now and with Clark. She's got some extra natural basketball wisdom.
whatever happened,it shouldnt have..thats all I know
Talk about the consummate professional. Not only is she an elite athlete but she knows the game and strategies extremely well. So well i believe she could step in as coach and be "EXTREMELY" successful. Would not be the first time a player has done double duty...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Coach's decision, could you be more specific.... Take responsibility...

Ngl, whenever Fever wins I think please don’t let this help Sides keep her job. I really believe they win despite her.
That 4th quarter was 🔥 Clark, Mitchell, Boston, Smith, Hull 🔥
Yes, they had 3 bad quarters. In game adjustments were not good today. Defense was atrocious. How many back door plays did they get beat on? Should've gone to a zone or hybrid zone. However it may not have mattered when you turn the ball over 23 times. They were outcoached and out played. Good news is that all of this hopefully is a learning experience.
