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

It is remarkable, no doubt about it. I would add some context as far as Lebron though. I'm assuming those are sales just since 2024. Lebron is 40+ and has been in the league something like 22 years. I'd imagine most people wanting "a Lebron" have purchased one along time ago. Of course he did join the Lakers years ago so new merch opportunities there for him. Certainly CC22 being ahead of Luka, and Wemby is pretty amazing since they are the "now" guys in the NBA.
I could be wrong. But I think this year for the Fever will largely be about laying the groundwork for CC to play elsewhere.
Just a lot feels “off” with that relationship right now.

Waited til the last minute. Gotta fill those seats.
Some interesting betting lines in the W tonight. Indy is still a 10-point favorite even without CC. Dallas is only a 2.5-point favorite over Chicago even though Rickea Jackson is out for the year with a torn ACL. And Seattle is only a 1.5-point favorite even though they’re playing at home against the worst team in the league.
I’m not a gambler, but if I was then I would take Portland, Dallas, and Seattle ATS.

I can’t imagine them ever letting her go. She’s the biggest star to ever come to the league; if she wants White gone, or the GM gone, you go find a new GM and you go find a new coach.
That’s right. It’s gonna be her decision after next year, and she can give strong indications anytime.
I’m not totally convinced the Fever are as totally committed to CC as everyone thinks. Nor convinced CC would win a White/CC power play. Pay attention to Fever attendance, non-Fever ratings, etc. Regardless, CC soon will have all the leverage.
I am out. Not watching dozens missed layups if she isn’t playing.
That’s insane, but this is the W we are talking about so no stupid decision would shock me at this point.
Back in the early '80's I got tickets for the wife and I to see a country music star, whom I really wanted to see for a long time. At the last moment, he cancelled. Talk about disappointment. Can't imagine families with kids who were ready to go, and itching to see Clark, get the news at the last. But, that's life I guess.
At some point it could just be a Cc power play. But if the Fever don’t bend then they can’t let her walk without anything in return.
Interesting that Harris got the start. A bunch of Clark haters on social media have been screaming that Raven should be starting over CC. Turns out she isn’t even the primary backup.
Hopefully not. She looks fine. White made some comment about it being their 4th game in 8 days. Then in the next sentence she denied that it was "load management". I get the feeling if they weren't playing the Fire, who look below average at this point, she'd probably be playing. Another team like Seattle without a dominant big, so they can get away with out getting pounded in the paint. And yes, Gus is on that team now, but she's not a true big in this league.Here we go again.
I never understood the cagey reaponse to this.
if it’s load management, which is totally reasonable, then just say we will take opportunities during the year to rest CC and KM and AB when/if it makes sense. We realize this is a huge inconvenience and frustration to fans who pay to see these players. And we wish we could offer more advance notice of when we might do this, but it’s fluid and we want to make sure it’s the right time and right game. Sometimes we don’t know this until day before or day of. We think it’s in the best interest of the players and our team for maximizing success during a long season if we employ this load management strategy given the physicality of the game.
Load management kicks in at game #5?
For a 44 game season.
There’s no P in GOAT either, so you can’t use it for professionals either.
Megan is fun to watch. She's pretty high energy when she gets on the court.
When this game ends, if White is asked about KM's impact on the game, I want her to say that the team as a whole came together for the win, like she does when asked about Clark's performance.
The Jeep commercial's pretty good with the fish and bear, but it reminded me of an old favorite from what, 18 years ago or so.
Not a good sign for CC. Just five games in and she can't play. Hope she's not becoming injury prone in just her third season.Here we go again.
I'm hearing that Clark is being ruled out for Friday's game with GS. Looked online but don't see it. An article about White and the Fever's mixed messaging. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/c...ce-possible-010738024.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
The thing is, those tickets were already sold. People paid money for those seats and when they heard CC wasn’t playing tonight they decided “Screw it, I’m not even going to bother fighting traffic.”
