Once Clark arrived in the WNBA, teams no longer have home court advantage with the fans because crowds are all cheering for Clark where ever she plays.

Yeah home field advantage means nothing when you're playing against CC because she has the home team crowd rooting for her. So home court kinda doesn't come into play

He is the best coach in an interview I have seen in the WNBA. No snarkiness or badmouthing of the other team or the refs. Praising the Fever and saying that they played a good game. It is so refreshing to hear from a professional.

That building is packed to the brim 17K + !!!! Nice

Mercury must be lovin the humble pie that was served by the Fevers. Schooled by a rookie is always a slap on the old ego.

the distinct change of tune from the pregame to this post game is music to my ears 😅 at least he owned the loss.

98% of coaches will admit it was them that didn't control the game properly in a loss. Sides is just weird, and unprofessional.

*Caitlin Clark team seems to always have home court advantage anywhere they play!* I attended this game as well as the Washington game with 20,333 in attendance. It’s wild when the home crowd routes for both teams. *Don’t take my word, look at attendance for games when the Fever aren’t playing.*

Fever Coach Sides could learn a few things from Nate Tibbetts. When asked about the last play that they lost possession (by what looked like a kicked ball), he said the execution fail was on him, he didn’t throw ANY of this players under the bus. That what good coaches do. They work on fixing what went wrong, instead of looking for someone to blame.

It just shows how fans have longed to see someone like CC in the WNBA.

“We’ve had great crowds here all year long. Today was the best we’ve had. We appreciate the support.” Phoenix’s Head Coach Sorry, they weren’t there to support you. But hopefully you got some new fans.

I know it will never happen but, would it kill these coaches (that are experiencing the Caitlin sell out effect for the first time) to just mention her name and impact when discussing the big crowds and playoff environment? When they don’t it feels like they are purposely not mentioning her and then they point out the fact that they have had “great” crowds all year….

The Fever outlasted the Mercury. Fatigue sets in when you play a running team. I believe that's why it seemed the Mercury were missing so many easy shots. All in all, it was a fun game to watch.

Did he say his defens was good?, Clark nearly had a triple double, n the Fever had five players in double figures, not only was it not good is at best was disastrous. Boston, Fagbenle, Smith, n Mitchell together incinerated your defense n Clark alone damn near nuked it all game long. Whatever defense plan you had for this game NEVER DO IT AGAIN...

Yep, you have averaged 9,000 fans and today you had over 17,000. I wonder why?

Kinda took your own team out of your comfort zone by focusing toooo much on Caitlin. Allowed her teammates to get wide open shots. On one of the fast breaks three people went to CC amd let their wing walk to the hoop. And Cloud guarding the Fever center? Definitely tried to do too much.

The Mercury need to rebuild with younger players now. Change has come to the WNBA.
