***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

Raven is a beast

 

[Hawksfor3]

Tuned in late. Looks like Bueckers vs Clark. White doing a good job?

 

[AFM22]

Boston and Hull will help. RN it’s pretty much just KM as a scoring threat when Clark is on the bench.

 

[DTP2]

Raven and Walker-Kimbrough have looked good among newbies. Not sure anyone else has.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Lead down to 12. Fever commmmming back!

 

[Hawksfor3]

In impressed they are calling fouls.. how long will that last

Fever have shot 38 FTs but only hitting 68%.

I'd add Traylor but it will hard for her to make the roster.

 

[DTP2]

Dantas 0 for 100

Surprised they signed her for 2 more years.

Stick to the short bankers.

I didn't see the game, interesting stat Clark 11/13 free throws in 16 minutes. WNBA finally get smart and are going to protect the face of the league that's going to make the league profitable?

Too early to tell IMO. It's only one preseason game but we'll have to wait and see.

Not really. She beat them around the corner and they cheated and were called for it. They only had one flagrant 1 but it wasn’t malicious, just closed the gap too hard and ran into Clark.

This blatant beat down of Caitlyn is going to make me a non fan. I wasn't a fan before, like the whole world wasn't a fan. They allow this bs thug crap this year in going to be really pissed
She's the butter on the bread. She single handedly brought the WNBA to a semblance of relevancy.

 

[Franisdaman]

She almost had a double double (8 points 7 rebounds and 3 steals) in 13 minutes.

These tweets are so disingenuous.

She wasn't beat down tonight.

Thankfully it is an unprotected contract.

I think this front office rested too much on the laurels of making the semis last year and decided to mostly run it back while other teams improved. Retaining Dantas instead of looking for a better backup big is a major problem. Signing KM to a super max contract was an overpayment, thankfully it is only a one year contract.

If Boston’s injury lingers, this team is going to be in trouble. Add to that Sophie coming back from injury as a key depth piece. Hope they prove me wrong, but the season is so short that a lingering injury could cause major damage to their place in the standings.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

I don't understand this idea of making the best point guard in the WNBA play off the ball. Why would you take the ball away from a point guard capable of 19 assists in a single game? It makes no sense at all.

Preseason don't over analyze.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

Preseason don't over analyze.

Problem is that this is two straight WNBA coaches that have tried to do this. They keep on trying to "outsmart the room" as coaches. She will need possessions where she isn't the primary ball handler bringing the ball up the court, for "rest" and to combat defensive tactics attacking her. But the goal should be to get it back in her hands at least once in every non-fast break offensive possession. Offenses at this level rarely work when players play like black holes. Move the ball enough and you will find an open shot, especially the player with perhaps the best court vision of any women's player in history.
