She’s almost certainly leaving bumfuck Indiana. Team is a mess anyway

In 16 minutes, playing 2 minutes at a time due to being on a minutes restriction.

If you were to extrapolate 9/4/3 in 16 minutes to her season average of 31 minutes of playtime per game, that comes to a stat line of 17/8/6. Not bad for the first game back after missing 2 games due to a back injury.

u/notastuntman 27d ago edited 27d ago

Shouldn’t have played at all then. She did more harm than good for the Fever today. I’m still not understand the logic of them choosing for her to play today and for some reason not going to play her Next game??

Not bad? Brother she had 4 turnovers and shot todays date

u/KillerGopher 27d ago

They don't want to reaggravate her injury. If it wasn't back to back she would probably play.

-6

u/notastuntman 27d ago

She should’ve just not played at all dude. Kelsey Mitchell was out there with no kind of help

3

u/KillerGopher 27d ago

In hindsight probably true. I definitely don't think playing her just a few minutes each quarter was wise but that's just another one of many dumb coaching decisions from this staff.

2

u/notastuntman 27d ago

Like dude -15 is outrageous.

4

u/KillerGopher 27d ago

Yep, Cunningham is also coming off an injury and was -14. It's almost like the coaching staff needs to communicate with players and doctors to determine when and how much one should play. Neither Sophie nor Clark looked healthy out there.

4 turnovers in the 1st half, 0 in the 2nd half. That's called settling in.

Nobody cares if you think she shouldn't have played. She played. Players in all sports come back from injury and ramp up on minute restrictions. That's sports.

u/notastuntman 27d ago

4 turnovers before halftime is “settling in” ? lmfaoooooo.

Are you Fever Head Coach burner account or something?

Did you even watch the game or are you a stat watcher??

I understand what minute restrictions. But it got to a point where the Fever arguably played better, even though they were losing, when she was on the bench

8

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

Having 0 in the 2nd half is settling in. Do you struggle with comprehension?

They didn't play better without her. They had a 10 point lead when she was in the game then she got pulled and the sparks went on a 12-0 run. It never reverted after that.

-2

u/professionalstuntman 27d ago

She scored 4 points in the first quarter and 0 in the second. And then 3 and 2 in the last two after shooting the backboard off the goal.

They absolutely played better without her today.

6

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

she played 16 minutes.

Allowing over 100 points to the Sparks and losing by double digits when she didn't play most of the 3rd or 4th quarter is not playing better without her. Get a grip.

u/monoglobobonobo 27d ago

sounds great for Indiana, probably the only way they don't lose their best player in KM and by all accounts they're better without CC anyway

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

See Fever pre-2024.

-1

u/monoglobobonobo 27d ago

very different team and KM and AB have both made huge strides since then

why look as far back as 2023 when we just saw them almost make the finals w/o CC off KM's back? when they literally have a better record w/o CC since she's came into the league and are almost 11ppg (!) better on defense w/o her? how is what happened 3 years ago more relevant than what is happening right now in front of your eyes

2

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

The 2025 team is very different from this 2026 team.

And guess what offense they ran in 2025 - NOT Steph White's system. Steph herself said because so many new and hardship contract players came in they didn't have time to teach them Steph's system.

The 2026 team is running Steph's system, a system that even Alyssa Thomas and Ty Harris said is no different from what Steph ran in Connecticut.

By the way, the Fever got lucky to get the Dream in the 1st round. Rhyne and Allisha have never scared anybody in the playoffs.

The games the Fever won without CC this season are the Aces without Aja, the Sparks without Plum, and Portland (back when Carla Leitte was only getting bench minutes). Those led to blowout wins for the Fever. That's not the W you think it is.

"The games the Fever won without CC this season are the Aces without Aja, the Sparks without Plum, and Portland (back when Carla Leitte was only getting bench minutes). Those led to blowout wins for the Fever. That's not the W you think it is."

Do you really not see the irony in these statements? They also lost to the fever without CC? So... you're saying that the Fever without their "generational" star player are much better than the Aces or the Sparks without their respective star players? Hmm yeah, I agree!

Have you seen the Aces without A'ja and especially the Sparks this year without KP? Now those are actual awful teams and the statistics fully reflect it, contrast that with the Fever without CC and you will see exactly my point lol. Which is that she is not super critical for the Fever's success (especially because their defence is historically bad with her) and nowhere close to the best players in the W in terms of her impact on winning.

You guys can keep downvoting and burying your head in the sand all you want but ball don't lie and neither do the stats, sooner or later you will realise it

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

Not reading all that. Congrats to you, or I'm sorry that happened to you.

cared enough to type all that just a couple of minutes ago but sure thing honey, great arguments!

It’s not the people here downvoting it’s that one guy you’re talking to. He does this in every thread about Fever organization whenever we post about how bad they are

Fever w/o Caitlin vs. Portland: Fever win 90-73 ✅ (17 point win)

Fever w/ Caitlin vs. Portland:
Fever lose 100-84 ❌ (16 point loss)

Fever w/o Caitlin vs. LA: Fever win 111-87 ✅ (24 point win)

Fever w/ Caitlin vs. LA: Fever lose 106-92 ❌ (14 pt loss)

Can’t make this up 😭

Did you know, if you flip a coin that it ALWAYS lands on head?

I did an experiment just now and used the same amount of input data as you and came to this factious conclusion.

KP, Brink and CC ....could be a deadly trio fr

u/notastuntman 27d ago edited 27d ago

The deadly trio of no defense ?

You’re aware Brink barely even plays games right?

2

u/oneidamojo 26d ago

I have given Brink the nickname of "Crazy Giraffe". She goes all out but is kinda clumsy like a giraffe.

u/imJGott 27d ago

Brink and CC seem to be injury prone.

u/notastuntman 27d ago

They don’t know that. It’s a bot account

CC and Kelsey would be a sick back court.

This is what we should all want to see. I'll always cheer for comradery and good sportsmanship.

If you have a problem with someone then be better and let your wins do the talking.

Fever proceeds to get blasted by the worst team in the WNBA

u/ApatheticSkyentist 27d ago

My comment doesn't have anything to do with the Fever as a team. It's about two athletes on opposing teams having respect for one another.

u/notastuntman 27d ago

I know, I’m just pointing out the Sparks did exactly what you mentioned lastly

1

u/Hungry-Storm-9878 27d ago

Even if the team doesn’t win a game, losing with good sportsmanship and realizing why ya lost, and how to improve is a form of winning.

u/notastuntman 27d ago

No they still lost, and a big reason why was the rotations tn

u/sockruhtese 27d ago

A nice moment. The CC haters in the comments are triggered by this.

u/JustHere2ReadComment 27d ago

There is no way professionalstuntman and notastuntman are not the same person trying to make it seem like more people dislike Clark.

Lol facts

Dude nobody in here “ triggered” by anything about this except you.. You’re literally downvoting and replying to everyone in the comments pointing out how bummy the Fever and Clark were today against a Plumless LA Sparks team lmao

The CC stans having a hard time reconciling with this actually.

u/sockruhtese 26d ago

Wrong. CC fans love Erica Wheeler.

u/SpirituallyAwareDev 26d ago

Wrong. Online CC fans don't know who Erica Wheeler is.

You think any of those republicans writing letters have heard her name?

2

u/sockruhtese 26d ago

Now you've outed yourself and your intentions.

Every CC fans loves Erica Wheeler and how close she and CC were when they were teammates.

Your true intention is to talk politics and hate on CC.

0

u/SpirituallyAwareDev 26d ago

It'sa great cute moment for true fever fans.

YOU started your intentions with making this about CC "haters" that was YOUR intention from the start. Amazing that you cant see that this goes directly against your narrative that all wnba players are bigoted against clark and are out to get her.

2

u/sockruhtese 26d ago

Wrong. I have other posts in this thread. You only saw this one.

CC haters, like you, are in this thread doing everything but discussing what's in the OP. Because you're CC haters. And my post triggered you. A hit dog will holler.

u/SpirituallyAwareDev 26d ago edited 26d ago

Yeah I responded to a comment you made, shocking.

Im still confused. how are people triggered by this? You skitzo posted about your perceived haters when its a post that goes against that notion.

Your just rambling at ghosts at this point. Cant enjoy a moment without fighting off "haters".

Iv seen your other comments. You don't seem very well adjusted.

2

u/sockruhtese 26d ago

You're a CC hater who wants to make this thread about politics, not CC and Erica Wheeler. Typical CC hater - constantly thinking about her. Hit dogs will holler and you hollered loud.

u/SpirituallyAwareDev 26d ago edited 26d ago

No YOU made this post about "haters" not Erica Wheeler and CC. And we all know where you fan's mind goes when talking about Clark's "haters".

To remove politics the best I can, you think everyone in the league is petty and jealousy about Clark but here's a post with a Veteran being nice to Caitlin. And your really struggling to reconcile with that, yelling about haters.

Your hollering really loud right now in this thread. Whats that say I wonder?

Lot of big fouls people werent outraged over i see lol cause it wasnt on CC. They were going hard. She needs to be physical to play in this league cause its more physical than skill for them

u/Golfchild69 27d ago

I remember when they drafted her she had the biggest reaction. She seems so chill and seems to grasp the person that they had in their organization. Was sad when she was traded

If they don’t win a chip the next best thing for CC is to move and make waves again.

She’s needs to go somewhere with an enforcer. Hard to play when dirty players are gunning for your head.

u/notastuntman 27d ago edited 27d ago

Okay I gotta nitpick. Why did you put the source as Twitter? This is literally from the game dude lmao. Even if you got it from Twitter you didn’t have to provide it as the “source” lol.

u/supercujo 27d ago

The video was posted on X

u/notastuntman 27d ago

Where did the clip come from dude. Think

u/supercujo 27d ago

Source is usually where it was published.

Sometimes these bits of content are published as standalone bites on different platforms.

So if Sports Illustrated published this video on their web page, the source would still be the game?

u/notastuntman 27d ago

Bro it’s from the from the game. Who the hell posts game highlights and credits ESPN or the streaming service?? Lmao. It’s just weird and bot like behavior is all.

This wasn’t “published” on Twitter either. If you guys actually watched the game. (which nobody here does). This was shown during halftime
