I thought she was playing more upright than usual and not getting into her normal stance….. I agree she definitely didn’t play enough to get in a groove at all
Something was off with her….it was a weird game

Something was off with her….it was a weird game
She said after the game that it wasn’t her idea to have limited minutes and she couldn’t get into a rhythm. Obviously she was not happy with the decision so her heart wasn’t in it. She said physically she felt great, so she was pretty much saying either play her or don’t. Obviously the whole limited minutes thing was a way to justify not playing her against the Mercury and I’m guessing she wanted to play tonight.
Is Clark's WNBA career over? Chronic injury and an outside shot that disappeared? Thanks the "W". Back to empty arenas.
Yep. The roster around the big three is just not good.......
Its really hard to watch them interact, and think everything is good. And yes Clark plays a role in that as well. That hasn't changed since she played at Iowa, but Bluder found a way to unleash her, and White, (or the front office with their roster moves), doesn't seem interested in getting the best out of a player she herself calls "a generational player" at least publicly.
where did you hear her say that? In an interview? not disputing it I just turned the game off early but had it recorded…..
might go back to watch if she was interviewed
100% agree. The fun is gone for her and for those of us that follow her until something is rectified. You have to wonder how this is going with Fever fans in Indy. Few people are buying season tickets to see this team play if CC22 isn't playing or is a shadow of herself. Season tickets pre her arrival make that clear, and will probably be even less with the fans distaste for how this has been handled.
This. She's NEVER been a few minutes in and then sit for 5 minutes player. You can tell her level of disinterest when she's sitting on the sideline.
I thought the announcers said that she said that at the beginning of the broadcast. She was on a pitch count and wanted more pitches, but was overruled. So we watched that stupidity. Either play her or don't play her. If you want to have her on a pitch count, play her the first quarter, and sit her in the second, and then see how she feels in the second half and go from there.
Depends on a lot of things. She's had games where she got hot QUICK. Its as much mental as physical I think. The way White pulls her sometimes for 4 or 5 minutes at a time is part of it. This may be her lot as long as she and White are both with the Fever. Unfortuantely this crappy front office came in all together and Whites their girl so she probably isn't going anywhere, unless ownership runs the whole group like 2 years ago. If this continues the most likely scenario, is probably a parting of ways with Clark going elsewhere. I know people are going to throw out the "the Fever will never part with their money maker" but this clearly isn't working, and the fans aren't going to continue to buy into this at some point.
Blame Caitlin's presence for their piss poor defense and lack of scoring.
Never would've happened if she didn't play and Kelsey ran the show under Stephanie White's plan.
So in your mind is CC responsible for anything?
It’s all getting meh. She doesn’t play all the time, she doesn’t shoot well, team isn’t winning, and the women’s game isn’t good basketball IMO (the missed bunny shots from “pros” delegitimizes the product).
You can add she doesn't get to practice all the time too.
Here's a calm, level-headed, breakdown of last night's Fever defense -
No defensive presence in the lane.
Boston simply out of position.
Just a terribly constructed team.

That's my man! Coach is a great watch. He's cleaned up his speech 'cause it's the W, but his NBA breakdowns can be brutal, LOL.
Without Boston and a semi healthy Clark who doesn’t want to be out there it’s a very bad team. Also goes to show the value of Boston for those doubting how good she is.
Yeah the Fever have issues but too much gnashing of teeth over a team 3.5 games out of 1st place with less than half the season played so far. Plenty of time to get things straightened out and make a run when the playoffs start in late September.
