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

[Hendy Hawk]

Folks, enough of the trans athlete stuff. The topic of this thread is Caitlin Clark and the Fever. Their on the court games. Not the nonsense stuff.

From here on out anyone who brings up, hints at, or mentions the trans athlete stuff will be banned with zero chance to have the ban lifted. Use your brains and stay on topic. This isn't hard.

Thank you.

Thanks Tom.

about time

I just checked Google, and it's illegal for defenders to hold hands to prevent opposing players from getting past them. So if anyone here has other ideas for the Fever to shore up their perimeter, let us hear them.

Red rover. red rover, send Sabrina right over!

Seems like a lot of defensive fundamentals are missing in this league. Lots of reaching and grabbing goes uncalled. What happened to the principle of vertical space above a player? I see arms draped over offensive players all the time, especially under/near the basket.

Is this driven by the officiating? or lack of it?

 

[Randon]

AND? You post numerous times here pretty much every day regaling us with her exploits. Who cares.

I really like Angel's field goal percentage.

 

[Legend12]

And this goes right back to mine. What exactly is your agenda with Reese. There's probably 3 or 4 people on here who give flying g F--K about Reese. Yet you constantly bombard this thread. Maybe you can get Tom to start a new section just for her and you and your handful of cronies can post all day about her exploits. Yes she's a great rebounder, the best ever. Yea! Aja Wilson is currently the best player in the league and we don't have this constant nonsense on here about her. Thank God. For whatever she does in the W, I'll never forget what she did to Clark after that championship game. The difference between gamesmanship during the heat of a game and what Reese did to Clark after they won handily, and then instead of celebrating she repeatedly chased Clark around the court trying to humiliate her. A person maybe become a better player, but a leopard doesn't change their spots. She's a person of low character, and no personal dignity. No decent person, would do what she did after that game. Good for you, that you can be her biggest fan.

Great post, John Hinkley, Jr.

Okay. I'm sure in your infinite wisdom you're going to explain what my post has to do with a guy who tried to assassinate the POTUS? Probably not though since you post random crap talking down to other posters constantly. Honestly I think you need to take a break and evaluate why you have this superiority complex, talking down at a bunch of people who don't give 2 shakes what your comments are.

Oh, by the way, wheres the list of ALL the things Clark gets away with you mentioned 2 weeks ago?

I wish Tom K. would have banned Angel Reese posts too.

Hey we can’t talk about her here

Have mercy. Reese is a good chunk of frandaman’s social media feed posted here.

“Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king.”

Totally rings true in this case. She has to shout from the rooftops about how great she is in setting records. Meanwhile the person she’s been obsessed with doesn’t talk about any of her records unless she’s asked about them, and even then doesn’t gloat.

Crazy thing is that she has some serious talent, and is now on a team that will take advantage of it. But if she’d just turn down the ego she’d be a lot more likable to most sports fans.

All she had to do was not be an a**hole in the NCG when they won. It was that simple.

Look at the look on Coach's kisser.

Yes she is, but you didn't have to tell me.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

And that's the difference. CC gives all the flowers to her teammates and doesn't care to talk about her records. Angel puts herself first and acts like a jealous brat over why she's not getting all the attention. Lol.

Yep. A little humility goes a long way.

 

[Franisdaman]

Russell is fine…she’ll be exactly what she is…tall and not very good. She’ll have her moments but there is a reason no one in the league signed her for almost a year. I’m more laughing at KC because he posts like he has some insight into her game when everyone knows he had never heard of her before she signed with the Fever. Just surprised he didn’t use his new buzzword “gravity” when talking about her.

Hmmm. Thanks for your reference to me and your supposed knowing what "everyone " knows. As usual "the Legend" the narcissist. Oh, we're all STILL waiting for all the "stuff Clark gets away with" . You know, your comment from a couple of weeks ago....

Yep.

We all have been waiting since Aug 9, 2026 for Legend's list of things that Caitlin gets away with that no one else in the league would get away with.

Do you guys think "Legend" even has 1 thing on his list yet?

Do you think "Legend" will ever admit that he was wrong?

What follows was Legend's comment and, as you can see, @huntinghawk and @Hawk48 nailed it when they described Legend12 as the biggest clown on these forums.

Can you imagine paying/subscribing to interact with "Legend" in the Lounge? LOL

Again, from Aug 9, 2026:

She [Caitlin Clark] gets technicals that no one else in the league would get.

She [Caitlin Clark] also gets away with things no one else in the league would get away with.

Like what? Are you being serious

Go easy there on the "Sultan of Spin" lol.

Things as in plural? Go ahead and list them for those of us not as gifted and smart as you.

Like WHAT exactly? This should be entertaining......

Such as?

Whose the bigger clown? Legend or BigZ? They really believe she's treated fair.

toss up

 

[Hawksfor3]

***DISCLAIMER***
This post is NOT a defense of Angel Reese. I say again, this post is NOT a defense of Angel Reese,

Angel's press conferences and interviews are often comically horrific from a personal PR standpoint and we all know how CC is almost always on the other end of that spectrum. I get that the rivalry between the 2 causes Angel to say some incredibly dumb things, but she doesn't limit it to just CC. Someone once asked her about going up against Aja Wilson and Angel made sure the person asking the question understood that both Aja AND Angel were great players. She can find a slight in a question as easy as CC can find a passing angle on the court.

Angel has had very little PR training (MD tried with her, but she was resistant to accepting help) whereas CC has been getting training and practicing interviews since she was a freshman in high school, and you can see how those experiences, or lack thereof, are playing out in their media and social media interactions today.

At some point I think CC will be more open about how she really feels about things and let more of her personality show, but I doubt Angel will ever be able to tone things down and realize that the world isn't always against her.

I think you're overthinking it. In the end, I think it just comes down to the fact she's just not a smart person. Not her fault, but she's clearly an idiot.

Poor officiating with poor fundamentals = WNBA.

Both!!!

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Does this forum have ANYTHING to do with your constant post about Reese. Supposedly this is a forum for IOWA women's basketball, and by extension its spilled into covering the greatest Iowa player in history and her exploits in this cursed league. Obviously that extends to Meg, Lucy and Kate as Hawks. I can see why some inclusion of players on other teams when they play Iowa or the Fever, but this whole Reess this and Reese that is agenda driven, and you know that as well as I do.

He's trolling. He's admitted this on the Clemson board. Ask him what his user name means. I'm sure a lie is coming.

Clearly an idiot with her own clothing line, Barbie line, shoe line, etc.
