***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
The difference between these two teams is that at any given time Atlanta has at least 3 players on the floor that can dribble drive downhill 1 on 1 and draw fouls and finish.
Indiana has 1.5 total on their roster because Mitchell occasionally likes to place wide open layups directly underneath the side of the rim............

No double-double for Reese today. Gotta take the small wins in a sh**show sometimes.
Second straight game they did that. Your defense really has to be terrible to allow that.
Looking at the score, I guess I made the right choice in not watching.
It's called the Euro Pivot
I had to shut it off the Fever were giving me a "Rash". They are not very good IMO.
I’ve come around to this team just being average. The 4 is just a huge hole on offense, and lack of
Depth depth at the 5 and a lack of rebounding is just not good enough. This is a failure of the front office. R

I only watch fever games but from what I have seen yes
They're actually getting what they wanted........
It was a tough game for starter Lexi Hull - zero points and zero rebounds in 16 minutes.
The Fever are getting nothing from Mo or Lexi, two players who just signed multi-year deals. Lexi is 1 for her last 13 from 3pt and she has made only five 3s total in the last ten games.
Personally, I don't think CC will ever win anything with the Fever. They seem so fundamentally broken, might as well go the Reese route and leave for a better constructed roster elsewhere.
Whoever constructed the roster should be involved in pro basketball
Can’t tell me the players faults were not known and couldn’t see the issues with them as a whole.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Reese would actually be great on this team and solve a lot the problems.
The Fever are in a tough spot. Sure they have a chance of playing better as the season goes on but I don't see them as a major contender for a title. But odds are they make the playoffs so making major retool trades and acquiring some draft picks probably won't be on the table. They really need to identify the 3 or 4 players to build around and trade the others that have trade value.
I would keep Caitlin and Sophie, and trade everyone else.
Indiana will make the playoffs but how far they go in the post-season will depend on roster moves this Summer.
Also, Raven Johnson is a keeper IMO. The most missed ‘25 teammate is Natasha Howard…..find another Howard.

Including the coach.
Unfortunately I think the front office is loyal to/afraid to cross the old guard and will choose Stephanie White over CC.
I’m not sold on raven for that pick. I was hoping they would draft okot. Could use her size.
Oh god yes, I’m just saying what I would do. Trade Kelsey and Boston as rentals to contenders for picks and players. I guess keep lexi because you’re not getting anything for her.
I've looked up some of the officials and see they also work in college. I don't remember the Iowa women's games constantly being as bad as the W.
Other than the West Virginia and Kansas state games…
My two cents, it almost ALL comes back to poor roster construction. Boston is a 4 playing the 5. They have NO center on the team, and every team with any size brutalizes them in the paint. If anyone gets by CC or Mitchell there's no help because we don't have a rim protector, and no size whatsoever. Billings is a role player at best, as is Hines-Allen, barely. Neither can effectively step in if Boston rests or gets in foul trouble. Dantas does absolutely nothing for the team on either end. Timpson can jump and block an occasional shot, but she gets a foul/min played and has NO offensive skill whatsoever. Basically this team is three All stars and a couple of decent role players in Sophie and Lexie. Raven may end up being a decent player but lacks consistency at this point and you can tell White doesn't trust her by her minutes. Harris needs to retire.
I hope not......
No they don't, and that's the issue right there.....
To your point, if Indy traded for Cardozo, and slid Boston to the 4 that could work…
In principle yes. Unfortunately it seems like someone needs to light a fire under her backside. Staley would get in her A-- on occasion. It was Cardosa that she would Yell, "Fight, you have to fight Camilla" when she was at SC. It would probably be an upgrade though because we have ZERO post presence now.
And, as if the FO wasn't bad enough, I'm of the firm belief that SW would screw up the rotations even after the upgrades. I have no confidence in her ability to coach. None at this stage.

Kiki Iriafen - slightly less production without the drama and unnecessary headaches. Long shot alternative- go get Megan Gustafson.
