What is this thread about again?
Speaking of 10/5/5....

It’s all good. You have covered both items.
You typed was better and is better.
And then doubled down to say you didn’t type either.
Well unless there are those reasons why you typed both that you said you didn’t other than you did.
I almost got dizzy going in circles like that. Glad you are done with it. I get no enjoyment from publicly showing that you are a liar. It’s a character flaw that you have. Glad I don’t have that flaw.
I never said whites job was 'to make her happy", specifically. I just think what they are doing currently isn't working, nor is it making the best use of her skills, and yes as you said I believe that's making her very frustrated. She was so excited to be back on the floor after last year, and I don't think this is how she thought the season would go.
Poor Scott. He got caught.
I suppose I’m beating a dead horse already but the Fever have played less than 25% of their regular season schedule. Current frustration notwithstanding, we won’t know how the season goes for the Fever and Caitlin Clark until late September or, more likely, October - more than 4 months from now. I suspect for Clark and everyone else on the team it’s all about winning a championship.
It'd be interesting to try to replicate the situation at Iowa for CC in the WNBA... somewhere where she's surrounding by solid but maybe not great players that like to run... Nobody questions that it's CC's show to run.
We all have our opinions regarding the Coaching staff and FO. I certainly have mine. Let's see how the "voices" of ticket paying fans respond to the drama that we've all had the misfortune to see with our own eyes.
All true, but THIS team will need to make major strides to sniff any kind of a ring. Having said that they got close to playing for one last year, so who knows. Don't see it though. The problem is not only are the bench/role players pretty meh, but NONE of the big three are playing all that well, (although Clarks stats aren't bad) they are all struggling with consistency. That's just seem to be a "system" issue when no one really seems to be excelling.
This Fever roster is easily a playoff team absent multiple key injuries. We’ll see what kind of post-season run they make. Pretty good shot to make the finals (without major injuries)IMO.
We'll just agree to disagree that this is a championship level team unless they really turn this around. After the B1G three I just don't see it. Frankly the way the expansion draft is set up those teams all come in ready to roll. last year the Valkerires, and both Portland and Toronto look like pretty good teams.
The way they're playing now, they need to worry about just making the playoffs. Last year, even without CC, they had Natasha Howard, Odyssey Sims, and Aeriel Powers plus Kelsey playing out of her mind. The FO & SW laid an egg replacing those players.
Be interesting if ticket sales will be greatly impacted by all of the terrible optics. Remember that the last home game likely only had 9K in the seats. White, unloading on Clark, and replacing her with Johnson. Losing two straight games, one to an expansion team on the second night of a back-to-back. Jerking her star player out, having played only a few minutes into the first quarter, after leading the team during those few minutes. And yes, AB and Lexi (the best defender) were also pulled. Why? Then the killer run by the Fire. White has Clark's back? Standing on the sideline, arms folded, staying mute while Clark gets whistles, some that are completely questionable at times. Never praising Clark, unless absolutely pressed by the media, while often praising others for their play. Changing lineups like she got them cheap at a yard sale. Having a player like Clark adapt to her style of play sans having the team play around her, thereby maximizing her talents and what the others stand to gain from it as well. Scott Agness, who revealed Clark's ankle injury last year while the Fever organization did not, was fired by the organization. This is not a championship roster. Amber Cox has unofficially become the Monte McNair of the W. This outfit has problems from within, and problems from without (based on fan reaction). I agree. They had better get the ironing board out and also clean up whatever s--t they're stepping in, if they even want to sniff the playoffs.

5 Fever players had season ending injuries last year - Clark, Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald, and Chloe Bibby.
White got the team within one game of the WNBA finals with a depleted regular roster and a number of emergency replacement players They will be fine if they can stay relatively healthy.
Wish they would have re-signed Natasha Howard.
How are they going anywhere when all but three players cannot run their ONE defensive scheme? According to Sophie Cunningham.
The way the Fever are playing, she'll probably have a big night.
The Fever have deficiencies for sure. They also have several more months, almost a hundred or so more practices and 38 more games on the schedule. Improvements will happen or changes will be made; the situation is dynamic not static. They have the scorers we know that. Too much doom and gloom for a .500 team so early in the season.
The fever will prob play lights out making everyone wonder wtf is happening
There's clearly only one idiot here!
Who the **** cares!!!
By, turning this around, it starts with the HC trusting her players and not coaching like she's a controlling high school coach.
Not sure these teams "practice" that much in season. Between games and travel and needed rest....
Yeah, especially with some of the nagging injuries that they are already dealing with. They might have a few grinders after the long break in September to make sure everyone is in playing shape, but most of the time it will be just getting moving, staying loose and working on new sets and hopefully some defensive strategies.
Now, the players not getting many minutes...THEY have to work. Most teams will have some cardio requirements for anyone that doesn't play X amount of minutes in a game, in addition to the 1-on-1 work they all do to stay fresh and ready.
Nah, he's right on all counts.
You don't "clarify" anything until after the fact when someone calls you out. Then you tell them they misunderstood you (which they usually didn't), and that you meant something entirely different......and then when they disagree with you about that because they're still right.......you cry some more and say "No no no, I actually meant this instead. Read better"
Be gone Nebraska troll. It's time for your sponge bath at the nursing home.
Why do stats not show the negative side of stats? Although CC is averaging 20.1 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds per game in her WNBA career, she also has averaged 5.1 turnovers per game. Her fast pace plus players not familiar with her passing surely contributes. I did see she has improved from 5.6 her rookie year to averaging 4.6 this year.
Assist to turnovers is a true measurable, just saying.
