Eff that, win the whole effing thing!Well regardless who the f*** it is, let's at least lose to them in the Finals.
***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
Outside of blowing one game and letting the other get out of hand, the Fever have been on quite the run. I love CC but Mitchell is the MVP of the league in my opinion.
Strong case for Mitchell based on FG% (.504) and 3PT% (.435). She's averaging 24.2 PTs/Game, not counting the Liberty win. She hasn't missed time, as she's started all 33 games now. She's averaging 1 Stl/Game, one shy of AB at 1.4/Game. No idea what her clutch point shooting is, but it has to be pretty high. Yeah, she's looking strong.

Did she miss the blood on SC mouth too?
She said she saw a replay of the foul in the LR at half.
Very true. Still I had to chuckle when they were talking about Mitchell being in the league 9 or 10 years now, BUT it was just from 2024-26 That she really took off. Hmmm.. I wonder what happened two season ago until now that let her have her three best years in a row, and getting better. Obviously Mitchell's put in the work as she has all the way back to OSU, but what happened in 2024 that opened the floor up for her.

Fever really have it rolling right now. I am loving Timpson starting- I think it has really given them an edge. I am trying to think of a men’s analog - maybe Rodman?
Timpson did a solid job defensively tonight. Still hesitates a little bit after receiving a pass from Caitlin and it costs her opportunities to finish.
She doesn't quite have that tenacity and edge that Rodman played with, and thankfully, lacks the theatrics and drama as well.
But I think Timpson's arrow is only going up and she's starting to get more comfortable at this level of play. As long as she can occasionally finish a pass from CC and force tough shots in the paint on the other end, then she is probably the best option on this team rounding out the starting 5 for the remainder of this season.
Lexie will be a little more comfortable with the 3, and Sophie and Mo are just better off the bench. They can eat up minutes on a given night depending on who's on and who's not.
Ty is a spot bench player that is too irratic and Raven just isn't consistent enough yet, which isn't fair to hold against her too much because this league has a horrible history of killing rookies' growth before they ever got a chance.
She does need to get on the floor a little more, but with the way their offense is clicking right now (and she's just not really a part of that....yet) there's just not a lot of room for her right now.
Yes, everything good that has ever happened to anyone is thanks to CC.
KM was an AS the season before CC arrived, and I know you didn't follow the WNBA then, but she was s player who was continually talked about as getting better and better.
Why, when people talk about CC's assists do we not thank and honor Mitchell for her scoring prowess and efficiency?

AB shot 20% from 3pt last season. This season, 45%. That big of a leap has to be pretty rare. She is also shooting 4x the number of threes this season compared to the last two.
I do. She is the only one I feel confident in when I see a pass leaving Clark’s fingertips. I will add that of all of the fever, she needs Clark the least. I saw that last season she Clark was out. She is quick enough to get her shot off basically anytime she feels like it. With that being said, she gets a lot of open buckets on back door cuts she would rarely get if not for Clark.

Everyone is mentioning Mitchell’s scoring -as they should - but she has really turned up the defensive intensity also. At one stretch in the 2nd half vs. NY she made a couple key plays to clamp a Liberty run.
KM’s quickness can bother ball handlers when she brings the same energy on defense.

I agree on tenacity but Rodman was the most tenacious to ever do that I have seen. So maybe not a fair comparison. How about a comparison to our own men’s team with manyawu. Defends and rebounds way above height, limited offensive skills, improving all of the time.
Have you watched any of the halftime shows or post game shows? That’s all they talk about.
I agree, but wonder this has been all season. My son and I compare her to iverson but with a better jump shot. Probably the quickest player in the w. Given her quickness, should be a lock down defender if she fully applies herself.
Not directed at me, but I will say I used to but do not anymore. I can’t stand 90% of what they say, so we only watch the games themselves now.
Mitchell and Clark should be the top two for MVP this year.Strong case for Mitchell based on FG% (.504) and 3PT% (.435). She's averaging 24.2 PTs/Game, not counting the Liberty win.

I am biased but I agree. I know Wilson is awesome but it seems like she isn’t having quite as spectacular season as compared to her previous seasons. The other player who I think is right there is Miles. That girl can hoop.
26.3 PPG
9.8 RPG
52% FG
43% 3PFG
And is one of the 3-4 best defenders in the league.
Aja Wilson leads the WNBA in scoring and is Top5 in rebounding. She also leads the league in blocked shots. Wilson has more steals.
Some consideration for MVP will be given for how the respective teams finish but right now Wilson is the clear MVP and the Aces are defending champs.
Only way Wilson doesn’t win the MVP is if she gets injured soon and doesn’t finish the season, or there’s voter fatigue since she’s won so many times.
KM doesn’t bring enough to the table other than scoring. She has 1st team All-WNBA locked up though barring under. If CC keeps up this pace she should absolutely have 1st team All-WNBA locked up too. It would be entirely political to have the player leading the league in assists that also finishes top 3 in points not be 1st team.
Miles is good, but her stats are generally slightly worse than CC aside from shooting percentages and rebounding. She should be at least 2nd team All-WNBA barring some major change in her or CC’s play to finish the season. That is dang good for a rookie that wasn’t the #1 pick.
