Hey Rich, you remember MJ in his first All-Star game. His teammates refused to pass it to him. The Fever looks the same too me. CC barely touched the ball in long stretches of the game. They would not screen for her. They would not run the court for her. She is all by herself with no help. The only girl on this team that will help her is sitting on the far end of the bench. That is Celeste Taylor rookie. She has played 0 minutes in two games. Best defensive player on the team and a spot up shooter. She would also run fast breaks with CC.

Last 7 years the Fever have been in the basement. Christie Sides took the coaching job in 2023. Boston was drafted in 2023. The Fever won 13 games, 8 more games than in 2022.18 to 20 wins are needed to get to the playoffs. Boston and CC should get us there.

So many damn comments about Coach Christie Sides. It has been 2 games....."2"......against the 2nd and 3rd best team in the league last year. Their off guard is working back from a last minute injury,so CC is playing some 2....allowing the Veteran PG to play. They do look outmatched athletically and size wise so far, so a 2-12 start would get the coach off the charter flights and back into a u-haul......but for now, be logical

Rich Eisen! Excellent show. You and Sue are true professionals!

Great discussion and insight, Sue and Rich!

Like some have mentioned before - CC is a great talent, but she's not bigger or faster or stronger than these other wnba players. She's not some freak athlete and she will have to have others on her team be able to play well together to make them a competitive team.

I think Sue is right on the money with several points. Caitlin's fan base is putting her on a pedestal that is way to high. The Fever is not a strong team, which let's the defenses focus on her. The WNBA is reacting to her fan base and the media far more than actions/remarks from Caitlin. I feel bad for Caitlin, because she has to try and live up to this fictional super player the fans and media portray her as. The fans are calling for the coaches head as if that is the whole problem. Reality can suck at times. If the Fever had another player that was threatening on offense, then Caitlin would get more looks. Right now she is being swarmed on every possession, which makes the adjustment to the pro-level of play so much harder. It would have been better if the schedule would have been front loaded with weaker teams. I hope that someone helps Caitlin take a deep breath so she can ride out this storm and that the league understands that the super-player image coming from the fans and media is not what's coming from Caitlin - give her a break.

She was put in the corner and the ball was taken away from her by her own coach and teammates and she only got 8 sporadic shots without building a rhythm. It's no wonder she's angry. It's not her fault in Game 2 against the Liberty, it was the coach's fault.

This conversation is a bit simplistic. I just watched video on Taurasi, Wilson, and other "GOATS" being guarded by one defender, not being double- and triple-teamed. Also, this conversation totally leaves out the Fever's lack of offensive strategy in setting up screens and making plays. The look-at-me-I'm-the-coach coach has also expressed a disdain for long 3's and gave Caitlin a '0.5 second rule' that's now messed with her thinking. In one game I saw Caitlin double-clutch twice. I never saw that in Iowa. She looked like she wanted to shoot, then she backed off and started to look for someone to pass to. So now Caitlin is supposed to pass the ball and do 'deep 2's.' Just talking about this whole idea of her problems in transitioning to the WNBA is not as simple as Taurasi was right.

Throw to your one big girl in the paint and let her try to make maybe 40% of her lay ups/5 ft jumpers. God awful to watch. I love how all these WNBA players (current not Sue Bird) always have to say how there are soooo many great players in the league and they have been playing GREAT basketball for years now almost like they are trying to convince you (and maybe themselves ) of that. The few times I have watched over the past 5 years it was AWFUL. Almost like going yo the dentist the missed shots, missed lay ups , slow play and god awful turnovers. Unwatchable. It will take 20 C. Clarks to make people want to watch this league. The hype will wear of fast.

The WNBA has Fever starting the season w/7 games in 12 days w/all but 1 game against a top 4 team, so they can use CC to get attention for the top teams in the league & the Fever are using CC for her assist & how she pulls so many defenders from other players. The WNBA & Fever are killing their golden goose. Of course CC has to adjust to the stronger defenders she will meet in the WNBA, but I don't know how many rookies are getting double & triple teamed their first year either. And though she's a rookie, its just stupid for the Fever, a team that hasn't had more wins than losses since 2016, to get a player like CC & not let her be the main PG & run the plays. If they don't let her be the primary PG they will never figure out how to play to everyone's strengths. I don't care if they avg 20 TO a game while they figure out how to gel with her as PG. They're definitely not going to figure it out putting CC in the corner as a SG that no one ever passes to.

Hey Rich, chill and take a pill. It is only the second game of her career.

What's going on here is more than Clark adjusting to the pros. What these wnba players are doing to Clark they don't do every night to every guard. Blitzing, hedging on screens, doubling her when she catches the ball. I don't have a problem with doing any this if necessary to win the game. But that's not what's happening here. They want to quiet the hype. They're doing to her what LeBron James and D Wade did to Jeremy Lin to stop Linsanity or what Pippen and Jordan did to Toni Kukoc in the Olympics.

Sue's the best

It doesn't "take time" for CC. She is clearly better than most women on the court. Her team is just in love with missing layups and keeping the ball out of her hands than they are with winning.

Strategically, it also seems like they aren't running many sets for her to be more effective. Which is a coaching problem. Play to her strengths and run some actions to get her a few easy buckets.

CC probably feels like me when I'm pwning on Fortnite and suddenly Skill Based Matchmaking kicks in.

I love Sue bird best smile she tells it like it is CC has to lean how to adjust it not college

Bird is right on

10 turnovers ? Wow! 😮😮

Payton Manning set the record for most interceptions in an NFL season his rookie year. The record still stands today. Like Sue said, the defense's entire game plan is to stop CC22. That is a compliment. Give it time.

If you watch the games, many of those are passes that her teammates weren't ready for or bobbled. Like Nalyssa Smith said,"when she has the ball, keep your head up because the ball is coming."

Well, the WNBA does have a few true professionals and not just basketball talent. Tbus is exactly hiw you talk to your peers. Way to go Sue.

It's sooooo different men's sports and women's sports and I hope it stays that way. Can't imagine my favorite sports teams having the players engaging in intimate relationships with each other or players on different teams. It would create chaos u couldn't even imagine

Caitlin Clark you may be a great college scorer give you that. Greatest college player ever Breanna Stewart 4 championships and 4 mop no one can top that

It's the WNBA people. No one is going to be talking about Clark or the league in three weeks. In fact, I'm excited to see how they plan to pay for the chartered flights when the ticket sales start to slump.

BABY! Caitlyn fans STOP babying this woman. Let Caitlin bond with her teammate so they can learn to win a game. All we hear is get rid of the couch and teammate. Caitlin has to learn how to adapt to different situations good bad and ugly.

Some of these stans can’t think without emotion. People said she’ll need time to adjust. Goats like Sue, Diana Taurasi said the same thing. CC is playing against professionals who get paid too, why would they take it easier on her

The fever are horrible

The fever needs a coach like sue bird because im watching them play now and honestly they're coach they have now doesn't know how to use thwy talent she has on the fever Sue a be great for them

The No.1 draft pick goes to the No.10 (out of 12) WNBA team. It's gonna take time for the TEAM to catch up to be on CC's level! And many of them wanna prove that they're just as good as CC, so they take their shot and... MISS!! And their defense is nonexistent. Yes, she's the little fish playing with the big fish, but the big fish suck... and they have been sucking... and they're ok with sucking. Until CC finds a team that appreciates what SHE can do for THEM, the entire team will continue to suck... not CC... the team.

New "fans" have a perfect view of the talent and attitudes that have made the WNBA a fantastic organization.

I have watched these first two games and the reality is that no one other than Caitlin Clark is being doubled and sometimes triple teamed - including the MVP players she has played against. These veterans would also have a hard time scoring if the opposing team was able to focus so many defenders on just them. Caitlin has also been taken out of the flow of the games by excessive foul calls against her in many cases with little or no contact while on the other end getting bodied relentlessly with no calls. Looks like an initiation to me - not “a tough transition” due to a step up in talent. Opponents against Iowa were not able to focus so many defenders on her as they are doing in the WNBA. The reality is that they know the rest of the Fever team is limited and they seem to be right.

The media created this … it’s not Caitlin or the players fault. Stop blaming the teammates, coaches, other players. She packed the seats so she should be giving everyone a good game. Are you trying to say everyone owes her something? What do they owe her. You get drafted to the pros because you are seen as ready for professional basketball. It’s wrong to make excuses and blame others.

its AMAZING how thick your skin gets as a rookie with a 25 million dollar NIKE deal...if ALL she was making was the league minimum it would be different for her...obviously she wants to win but her team doesn't just jump into 1st place cause you bring in a young shooter who can pass too (remember the Bulls and Jordan, it took years and spending millions to build a championship team).

If your coach and half your team mates are playing against you it takes time to find your game. And she's doing it already.

CC style of play don't transfer over to the WNBA right now. Defenders too quick. You put CC at point she'll never get the ball down the court!! She has to play 2 in order to be effective !! You can't tired out her teammates for her they need to score. The WNBA is showing CC weakness EARLY not a PLAYMAKER....you have to draw up players for her to shoot etc. logo 3s don't work here gotta develop midrange shot. Bball is not about hype/media it about WINNING RINGS... CC hasn't done that yet so her mental is different. Numbers are only numbers without the RING...she couldn't rally her team to win back to back because they rely on her she doesn't get her team involved enough to get the job done ( RINGS)

Packed house? More like the arena staff and a few fans without Clark.
