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

[LetsGoHawks83]

FLOP CITY.

Zero fouls on Lynx this quarter

 

[Hawksfor3]

What are the Feve doing?

 

[Franisdaman]

Not even Fran's worst team was as lost on defense as the Fever are right now.

Miles out dueling Clark

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

This officiating is total crap. Not why the fever are losing. They are losing because they can't rebound, can't hit a shot or defend Olivia Miles.

Nevertheless... some horrid officiating happening.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Lynx have never committed a foul according to their team and fans

 

[AFM22]

honestly pretty weak foul on Howard

 

[AFM22]

Miles out dueling Clark

Everyone out dueling Clark

 

[Franisdaman]

Miles out dueling Clark

CC continues to be guarded full court and often times has 2 (sometimes 3) surrounding her/guarding her

It really is something to watch

 

[Hawksfor3]

Why is it that former Fever players like Bonner (who should refund her salary for not showing up for work) and Howard play so well upon leaving Indiana?

 

[IowaCityLit]

The top-heaviness of the Fever roster is certainly more evident and pronounced against the best teams, and especially on the defensive side. Brutal.

 

[AFM22]

Miles going to surpass Clark’s 45 point 10 rebound game?

 

[AFM22]

Score 53 in one half and be down 11

 

[WDSMHawk]

On pace to give up 128 points lol

 

[IowaCityLit]

The defensive pressure CC gets is insane. Fever should return the favor against Miles.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

It is wild to watch.

Then after she hits a bomb, they guard even harder than that.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Fever just don't have the roster to compete with the multiple weapons the Lynx have.

 

[Franisdaman]

The Lynx are a 6.5 point favorite. O/U is 192.5 (100-93 type game?).

Lynx 108-100 Fever (Aug 2, 2026) Final Score - ESPN

Game summary of the Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever WNBA game, final score 108-100, from August 2, 2026 on ESPN.

64-53, Minny leads at the half

Looks like a 120-105 type game.

So much for that 192.5 over/under.

Yikes.

 

[AFM22]

The defensive pressure CC gets is insane. Fever should return the favor against Miles.

There are 5 players on the Lynx shooting over 60%

 

[nu2u]

Miles playing like WNBA MVP. Michell says “not so fast”.

 

[oldhawk56]

Miles out dueling Clark

Miles is unconscious FIFY

 

[2D]

Everything is par for the course considering the circumstances leading up to this one:

-Fever arguably the hottest team in the league with a 5 win streak
-CC also on a heater
-Away at Minnesota, the best team in the league
-Runaway ROTY looking to make a statement against the face of the league

Like someone on social media once said, the Fever is every team's super bowl. Teams know they get the most eyes and coverage when they come to town. Sadly, the Fever are not a good defensive team and it showed the first half. Miles will do whatever it takes to ensure this is her best game of the year, won't have numbers like this for the rest of the year. Due to CC's competitive streak, she wants to match it, but she's guarded like no one else, making it next to impossible. Fever need major defensive adjustments if they want to win.

 

[Randon]

What a half! Fever are once again playing great defense.

 

[Legend12]

Everyone out dueling Clark

Offensively, CC has been fine....4-9, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, just one bad shot (although it was horrifically bad)
Defensively she's gone back to being lazy and not caring except for a few plays.

 

[Legend12]

Due to CC's competitive streak,

On offense. Not much of one on defense.

In Clark's defense.... The entire defensive effort by the fever is non-existent.

For as hard as defense plays Caitlin, you'd think she'd like to make it a little harder for the opposing offensive player to shoot open 3s.

Lynx are unconscious right now.... On the LOUD a$$ rim at that end

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Everyone out dueling Clark

Even me?

Even all the girls in the game with less points?

I am sick of CC's lazy defense. It has gotten worse since she is getting deeper into her career.

That said, if she has the same half again she will have 22 pts, 8 ast and 0 tos. Terrible game... your hatred for her is crazy.

Is that so?

[LetsGoHawks83]

Have the fever ever played defense?

WTF was that on the out of bounds.... PROTECT THE HOOP

Exactly.... A lot of what she does... doesn't even show up in the stats.

The "gravity" that she pulls for k opposing defenses.... The "hockey assists". Where she initiates great ball movement.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

First I have seen miles. She ain’t half bad. CC is back to her complaining self and it screws with her own brain. They get in her head. She gets in her head.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

So many missed assists for Clark too...
Fumbled ball. Still score, but no assist.

Another great pass for a "hockey assist"

 

[Hawksfor3]

FINALLY Lexi.

Fumble city.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Defense draped over Mitchell in the paint.... Caitlin open for 3, nope

Cool. Between a team shooting 62% and a team shooting 58, Clark is shooting 45%

 

[ottumwan in tx]

They are coming at boston

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Glad Miles missed that, she's absolutely try to show up Clark. Had her 1-on-1. Shaking and baking iso ball. Step back for a big old CLANK

 

[Franisdaman]

Minnesota is simply showing why they are the clear #1 team.

If they stay healthy, they should win their 5th WNBA championship.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Hull gotta play …
nobody else will, Mitchell will play maybe
