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

A game that close with the Sky should count as 3 losses.
Not particularly sure why she even starts while only getting 9 minutes in an OT game.
@WDSMHawk bro you sniffing her panties too? Be a Reese fan with me!
I wonder why Atlanta is the lowest valued team in the W?

Small stadium and saturated sports market. Their arena only seats 3,500 and make about $15 million on tickets vs teams like the fever that top $25 million.
Agreed as he BBall IQ is off the charts and not in a good way IMO
Kelsey did her best to add more time so she could get to her average.
And while I say that with sarcasm, it was ridiculously dumb that she tried to score on several of those late possessions. See the Knicks and Spurs for a similar example of stupid play.
Too bad it took 4 years for Nike to get a Caitlin Clark signature shoe to the market. Might have helped out their stock price.
Idiots.
The 4 year timeline of Caitlin's Nike partnership:
Oct 10, 2022: Caitlin's initial NIL partnership with Nike started.
Apr 23, 2024: Caitlin signed an 8-year endorsement deal with Nike worth a reported $28 million. This contract, one of the most lucrative in women's basketball history, included a signature shoe and apparel collection.
Sep 29, 2026: Caitlin's debut signature Nike sneaker, the Nike Caitlin 1, is expected to launch, with broader releases during the 2026 holiday season. The shoe will feature a full-size run, including adult ($140), grade school ($115), and preschool ($105) sizes.

I think some of you are actually over rating the talent of the Fever vs other teams. If there are 15 teams in the league where would you rate their Power Forward position? In CC's 1st year they had Smith, who was actually abysmal. Last year Howard really came on and for some reason they let her go. Billings really had not much of a resume and unfortunately has been way way worse than expected. She would almost have to be rated 13-15 out of 15 teams. Boston, CC and Mitchell are all probably top 3-5 at their positions I'd guess, and Hull is a nice role player but she's a middle of the pack player if we're honest. While CC and Mitchell are dynamic offensively, Mitchell really struggles as she has to guard bigger players and CC as we see doesn't love defense. Boston is very solid as a 2 way player but they currently have zero backup for her and she can't continue to have to play these kind of minutes.
The one thing I'll say about lowering the rims is that the women's game can already be dominated by athletic bigs given how it is more of a floor game than a vertical game like the men's. And women across all levels of basketball play are infinitely worse at boxing out than men, despite trying desperately to make it an even more physical game than the men do.
So lowering the rim would only give a greater advantage to a player like Aja Wilson and nobody wants that........
This was discussed in the offseason. The Fever front office made some truly head-scratching roster decisions and did absolutely nothing (well I can't say that because they DID something alright) to help their front court.
They willingly destroyed their post depth and did nothing to truly fix it, all while stuffing their pockets with guards who weren't going to make much of a difference.
But you can't claim they were actively trying to sabotage their own roster though...........................meanwhile, we keep hearing all these rumors of front office tensions with members and their true feelings about Caitlin Clark.
So is it incompetence or intentional?
They don't get the benefit of another option just because the roster they do have finds ways to make it work in spite of their efforts (think Major League, the movie).
Lolol.. Mitchell never saw a shooting opportunity she didn't like......
Lexi probably still smarting after her A-- chewing by White for passing to Clark for the game winner.....
???? Didn't she set the rookie record for made three's? This has all happened since her injuries last season and teams are still playing bully ball with her.
3 players listed below are currently active players in the WNBA (the other 2, Taurasi & Perkins, are retired).
1) Skylar Diggins, Chicago,.................AGE 35
2) Sabrina Ionescu, New York,.....AGE 28
3) Caitlin Clark, Indiana,.............................AGE 24

So...you don't watch the games?
Clark staring at Sheldon. Love it.
Who should they have signed (and keep in mind that player has to want to sign with them)?
Do you think people don't want to play for the organization, the coach or with CC? What are your thoughts?
I'm sure some wouldn't want to come to the Fever but the previous posed question is impossible to answer unless someone knows all the free agents destinations that are off limits.
As to your question... I'm sure some would not want to play with Clark but that could be said about many players I'd guess.
I'm not sure I would go with "pretty hot" but within the margin for error absolutely.
Wonder if she was thinking "There's a new Sheriff in town"?
Sorry "LEGEND". Lololol... I did watch the game and I've seen the post game presser. Its pretty obvious that on Clarks game winner she was not the first option, AND White wasn't all that thrilled that it was Clarks shot that got the win. When Clark came off for the time out with less then 2 seconds left White gave her a VERY tepid sideways five. NO eye contact whatsoever. Had to be the least excited I've ever seen a coach at ANY level after a player made a play like that. If she really wants Clark to be CC22 and lead this team, she's doing a heck of a job of masking that.....
