***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
Here's coach analyzing the Fever defense. He's a tad bit spicy.
CC had an excellent game with the exception of her 3-ball - 19 points plus 10 assists was really impressive.
Lexie was getting beaten with back cuts to the rim numerous times today. That seems to be happening quite often of late.
Just finished watching the game. They lost, but I don't feel bad about the effort. They had an impressive run to get it very close at the end. They just needed a couple more shots to fall in the last minute. CC's distance shot wasn't there tonight, but otherwise she was solid. Miles was impressive in the first half. I expected she would do well because the Fever struggle against slashing guards. The Fever did pretty well to contain her in the second half. The Lynx just have too many other weapons. The mid-range queen, Courtney Williams, torched the Fever down the stretch. And, of course, the rebounding was a problem. This was always going to be a tough game to win. The Fever are still in great shape. They play the Lynx two more times, but they are the last two games of the season, so they might not even matter and one or both teams might be resting players.

Not the player she once was. Scoring wise, she's like the 5th option.
I think the win streaks for both teams were a bit overrated.
Fever had won 5 in a row.
Lynx had won 9 in a row.
Both had beaten the 8th place Liberty and then simply been feasting on the bottom of the league.
The other 8 wins for MN:
9th: LA: 1 (who before today had lost 6 in a row)
11th PHX: 1
11th: Portland: 1
13th: Tor: 2
14th Conn: 1
15th: Seattle: 2
The other 4 wins for IND:
11th Portland: 1
14th Conn: 1
15th Seattle: 2
And ya gotta feel a little bad for Seattle...they had a 4 game stretch where they played the Lynx and the Fever 2 times each.

She's pulling JV level sh**, sticking to her player on the opposite side of the floor and allowing space to get beat by a faster, craftier player on a back cut, even when there's no screen.
The Fever's remaining schedule is tough. With 14 games to go, the only easy win on paper is the Sun at home. They also play two games against the Sky and two against the Tempo, but all four of those games are on the road. The rest of their games are against good teams.
Took our 11 year old to her 1st WNBA game (Lynx vs. Fever) and this is the sh*t surrounding it. Fortunately she didn't get caught up in it all, and enjoyed the very good game that was going on, but the sideshow is wild.
Also, you guys can hate on Angel's play all you want but this weekend she gave away 1,000 free backpacks filled with school supplies to children in need.

People want her to pick a side, and the only way to win that game is not play.
^^^^^
Bigot thinks humans who just want to exist are “crazies”. How do these “crazies” affect your life in ANY WAY?? Get over yourself.
Only players who look like LeBron are supposed to shut up and play.
Tempo trade rights to Maria Kliundikova and a 2028 second-round pick to Connecticut for Aneesah Morrow.
and they suck at both!
remember when CC was about to enter the league and someone commented that for a player to thrive in the WNBA, it helps to be black, lesbian or an activist, but preferably all 3? Well, CC is none of 3. She just wants to play ball. So selfish! LOL
and all of that production while not feeling well (throwing up in the bucket)
fwiw here is the top 8's record against other top 8 teams.
- Minnesota Lynx: 9-4 (25-6)
- Las Vegas Aces: 7-6 (20-9)
- Golden State Valkyries: 10-7 (20-9)
- Atlanta Dream: 7-8 (18-10)
- Dallas Wings: 6-10 (19-11)
- Indiana Fever: 6-8 (19-11)
- Washington Mystics: 7-8 (16-12)
- New York Liberty: 7-8 (17-13)
Not sure why you're saying the W sucks at basketball.
They are the best women in the world at it.
Do you have some sort of point?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but so is the vast majority of the WNBA as well as the Iowa WBB program. Jan Jensen, Kate Martin, Monika Czinano, Raina Harmon are all proudly bi/pan/lesbians. Hannah Steulke and Kennise Johnson briefly dated. Molly Davis and AJ Edigar were a couple for a long time. Lisa Bluder is a democrat (check her husband's IG). Jada Gyamfi is a very outspoken progressive -- especially when it comes to LGBT rights. Czinano is dating a non-binary person. Kate Martin is a vegan. Boogie is a proudly progressive black woman. She follows all of your least favorite outspoken liberal women on IG.
CC22 and her boyfriend are also democrats. He famously attended the Women's March in Iowa City and re-posted the pic of CC22 and Obama with *blue* hearts to his story. If you're not "woke", no one who actually plays or cares about this sports gives a sh*t what you think. You're cheering for the wrong sport and not welcome. Sophie has been one of the most unpopular players within the league for *years* because of her politics and dirty play style -- and that's only increasing now. My guess is she will be cut from the Fever this off-season because a role player should not be creating so much bad press or bad blood within the league. I promise you that Steph White, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell are not comfortable with her position and she will not be welcome back.

Then throw in the over 500 assists, and its another list she's on all by herself......
Just sayin.....
But really though, why women's basketball and soccer, specifically?
Why does what you say only apply to those sports?
That doesn't seem very inclusive at all, which is actually the opposite of "woke" ideology..........again, just sayin.
I agree. Sophie could give a damn what people think. The fact that she expressed an opinion that is agreed upon by 80+ percent of the population makes all this fuss fall in the "much ado about nothing" category. Sophie has repeatedly expressed nothing but empathy for trans people.
Solid chance. She's hit the 20 point mark in 4 of her last 5 games.Sorry, I laughed because I was just recently thinking about how the term "libtard" instantly triggers anyone leaning left and turns them into Yosemite Sam as soon as they see or hear that word.
The term "maga" also triggers the right to a lesser extent, but the problem is left-leaning people are so angry with Trump and his cohorts that they've been extremely flippant with the term, throwing it at anyone unwilling to side with them or at the very least, publicly denounce Trump and Maga, which to them would also satisfy their idea of "standing with them".
This is where Caitlin lands on the spectrum. She side steps the political question and because of that, some race baiters and liberals will call (and have called, we have receipts........) her "maga" in the most derogatory sense of the term as well.
That's why I say someone being called maga doesn't impact someone quite the same way as anyone on the left being called a libtard. Because people on the left have chosen that word specifically to label anyone against them (and I'm speaking most frequently in general conversations across all platforms), even if those people want nothing to do with anything political.........................
And I apologize, since I'm responding to your post. This is explanation was mostly intended for the general audience.
P.S. what I'm saying is the left needs to find a better insult for people leaning 'right' politically. Call them pub-tards for all I care, but figure it out and do better at identifying who is actually Republican leaning.......and who just doesn't give a f***, and leave THOSE people alone..............unless they're like me and are telling you to leave all politics alone in general because your lives will be vastly better off for it just sayin.
Now back to basketball. I got Angel going for another 20 pts tonight against the Aces. Who's joining me on that bet? @AFM22
Do you guys even watch the games or do you just show up for Days of Our Lives?
