The Fever will get the running game going when Tami Fagbenle returns

CAITLIN CLARK: 15 Point / 5 Assist / 5 Rebound games as a rookie: BREAKING RECORDS!!! 1) Caitlin Clark: 8 2) Breanna Stewart: 7

Boston has improved faster than any player that I’ve seen in a 10-12 game stent

Caitlin Clark 18-12-6 AND 4 STEALS!!

Clark, Boston, Mitchell and Smith are getting better every game. Loving it!

CC getting the rebounds allows AB that extra few seconds to get down the floor. I love AB is looking more comfortable and for the dime from CC. When CC is missing 3s, seems like KM is hitting them or scoring 2. They are looking better. I'm thrilled!

AB has shown her talent and skills during the past few games and has improved playing with CC. The time has arrived for AB to showcase her BB skills.

they're the 90's Jazz. Stockton driving and Malone in the paint.

I thought so also. They were not as connected as they were against the Sky.

Just want to correct. The turnaround is due to they watching warriors tape, said by coach. And how steph/caitlin creates gravity and space is common that's why

Wow. That’s amazing. As a Dubs fan I can’t be happier!

Yes, CC is the PG and sets her teammates for easy buckets. Yet, Mitchell still hogs the ball. They need to set GOOD screens for CC, and pass the ball back too. Mitchell had 1 assist, Boston had 2. I still don’t like Sides. She still won’t give CC credit where it’s due.

@@jeffwoodall1998 I truly hope she can get a handle on it. I think she WANTS to play with the team more but gets tunnel vision in the moment. Mitchell is currently ranked 42 on assists among league guards (wheeler 31, Wallace 33, Clark 2) - To have the current recorder holder for scoring on your team and not have her set up to be at least getting HALF the amount of assists to her as she provides is a huge coaching issue. *And it’s not just passes to Clark (though Mitchell for sure does not pass to her) Mitchell and Wheeler don’t really like to pass to anyone. They want to be given the ball and go 1-on-1 at all times even into collapsing coverage.

CC beat Mitchell's big Ten scoring record

Mid range…I noticed that too

Hull needs to take Wheelers minutes and I'd like to see Taylor start getting some time. She was a 2- time defensive player of the year 2 diff conferences

@@JE-IC I'd be rotating Hull and Celeste on the better scoring guards. Fever have the best scoring guards and the worst defensive guards. They give up way too many easy buckets. Mitchel is undersized defensively and CC is just not a good defender yet. If Fever play a team with good guards they will get smoked without Hull or Celeste out there guarding their best guard scorer.

Boston’s woes were from lack of motivation. She was on a very bad team last year. Caitlin gave Boston motivation with assists to easy baskets. All the teammates should learn to pass the ball to Caitlin because they all will get better shots. Caitlin spreads the wealth and easy buckets.

Caitlyn getting rebounds didn’t allow them to freeze her out and they won the game.

This is the start of the team improving. The top teams are still too tough for the Fever, but I like the recent improvement. It's just a matter of time before they play better defense and figure out how to win against better teams.

Chemistry is important! A system can only operate if all the pieces work together. Mitchell, Clark, and Boston, are becoming a solid system of production! Solid video with great points Carter! Glad you pointed out the strategy behind the coach calling for more midrange shots. Many people don’t understand the importance of it.

Caitlin did that at Iowa , with the rebounds. She prefers it that way

Clark can and has shot the mid-range shot. I think not doing it became a habit she is trying to break from college. In college when she drove to the mid-range she got used to having 3 people come to her, and that left her team mates open for drives or 3 point shots and she looked to pass. In the W she is left 1 on 1 more often on those drives and has yet to adjust her game. I saw a recent practice video with her working on pulling up for the mid-range, and I think she will start working it in more.

Notice that CC is pointing and telling them where to screen, more often than not the screener gets hit with a CC pass for an open layup. Eventually they'll learn where and when to screen and they're going to be unstoppable.

The game tonight, that was what I was used to seeing from CC, and the team was *with* her, and we see how that works, and it's *gasp* fun to watch, rather than the normal WNBA stall ball.

Your analogy of Dallas Mavericks is pretty good. On Dallas its Lucas Team and Kyrie is his compliment. Kelsey does not know she is the compliment yet.

Players like her only have 5th gear. She would be better off the bench. But talent is too thin.

They actually took away like 2 assists from her stats line. And she should have an extra free throw double cause she was fouled.

Mitchell does need to get on the same page and start passing more especially when 4 defenders are on her and she just chucks it at the basket

Im no expert but offensively they look dangerous. Speed of Mitchell and wheeler, shooting and passing of clark. Strength and positioning of boston. They can all shoot. I think the other big girl is called Smith who is decent. Defensively they may need to improve

Aaliyah Edwards was a much better player than Aaliyah Boston on 6/07. Last night Edwards was dominated. Outscored 22-4 against Boston. This was the first game Kelsey Mitchell played within the offense. She was not a ball hog. CC controlled that game to perfection. She ran when she wanted to and slowed it down when she wanted to. CC got frustrated a few times when she came off of screens and no pass to her. Much less than normal though. As Fagbenle said, CC sees plays before they happen. Get her the ball when she ask for it.

.....they have to start improving somewhere. And they are. You cannot deny what CC is accomplishing thus far. What will you say when they beat a top team? Because they absolutely will. Just a matter of time. CC shot 50% overall, and this is a fact. She almost had a triple double, and is setting a record for a rookie on double doubles. CC is not the best right now, but she is a producer. If you can't see her potential, then just wait for it.

I would like that video, OK you lost me when you said Wheeler is a good player. She needs to go dude.

Turnovers for this game were mostly on Clark. She just got a little lazy with passing.

They still need to prove they can do this against elite teams and CC still needs to prove she can do this against elite defensive guards. Just saying.

They do look better but the schedule has a lot to do with it. Against the current bottom half of the league they are 6-1 against the top half of the league they are 0-9 losing by 17 a game.

Lol but lets see

Yeah, they figured out that they can't run the offense through CC and have Wheeler, a true point guard, running the offense more. The result has been CC has often been the 3rd or 4th highest scorer. She averages an assist for every turnover and can't dribble or shoot with her left hand. Basically, except for being able to hit a right-handed layup(Ooh! Impressive!) the closer she gets to the basket the worse she gets. The Fever's cupcake schedule of late is coming to an end so we'll see how good they are. The better teams don't have a dead spot on their offense for CC to defend and she's going to have to guard somebody. I predict a 10-12 turnover game coming. They haven't played the Lynx or Mercury yet and have the Aces and Seattle and Liberty soon. Reality's coming. Let's see who's right.

Let's not get too excited over the Fever beating the bottom half teams. They are still not going to be competitive with the better teams. They are middle of the pack at best.

Gotta remember the Mystics are the really bad

3 wins against bad teams

Fever are still the worst defensive team in the W. They will beat lesser teams on talent alone but it won't be sustainable vs the better teams. I'd like to see the bigs kick it out to teammates with open 3's once the D collapses. Wallace has a history of hitting open 3's. Perhaps she is just off this season but with that said I wanna see Hull on the floor more than Wallace. Hull plays tough D and can fly and brings great energy. I'd like to see Celeste get some minutes and Grace Berger as well. CC and Mitchell do need to work better together.

They looked good last night. Imagine if they play like this consistently & Clarks numbers go up. None of these bigoted, idiotic ppl will be able to say shes trash anymore.

Boston is playing better, and she is also paying attention to CC when they are doing interviews, Kelsey on the other hand is still a ball hog, Kelsey has been the top scorer on this team for 3 years. She still thinks it her team and it's not.

She pick a side, give the ball to Boston, she play good because Clark fed her most of the play. Amazing play of Boston because thats what Sides want to run the play through her. Clark the rebounding, that should be the job of big Boston, the passer, the decoy. If Sides continue to use Clark just to bring up Boston game fans will live and stop watching. It's getting boring,mshes too goid to be assistant or stepping stone of Boston or Mitchell. Yeah like Mavericks, they lost, Mitchell is all about hersel, sorry not buying Sides. I wish Clark will ask for trade and go to Valkerie next year at least all new players, golden state new her game like Curry. That team don't deserve her.🤷‍♀️

Kyrie is a ball hog. Mitchell is a ball hog .

CC is the floor general. Mitchell is a good player but a ball hog.

Mitchell should be traded for a better team player.

Nah, they’re just playing against weak teams..😂

Can't have ball hogs that destroys a team if u think Mitchell is going to stop being selfish your crazy Mitchell runs around like kid in junior high out of control pass the damn ball nobody follows Mitchell.
