***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
Howard has pulled down 15 boards…now halfway thru 4th.
Why did they take away Mitchell’s basket off the steal? There was a clear change of possession, was it a foul? Never seen an immediate replay call like that other than for shot clock
Big stretch of games coming up in their schedule, but they’re finally settling in their roles. Love that Cunningham has been inserted into the starting lineup. Her fiery disposition is needed.
It may have been the possession before that where Cunningham made a layup on a last second pass from Boston.
Yes, this team has really gelled without her. Wonder if the front office would consider a CC trade for a top quality forward.
Tonight's late game on ION, between the Sparks and Storm, may have been the game of the year. The Sparks were down by ten late in the third quarter, but stormed back. The Sparks had a 5 point lead late in the 4th quarter, but Seattle tied it. The Sparks had a 5 point lead late in OT, but Seattle tied it. The Sparks had a 5 point lead late in 2 OT, but Seattle tied it. The Sparks made a shot with 4 seconds left in 2 OT to win 108-106. As the Fever know well, the Sparks are a dangerous team. They've won 7 of 9 and have surged into the playoff picture.

I did not think the Fever would play this well without here either. It will be interesting to see what happens to CC in the off season. I am thinking she could be traded, but from a pr stand point that would cause a lot of heat. At this point the Fever are not really building around her but doing really well. Is there a team that would build around her.\? Hefty price to say the least.
I wonder if that would change if Clark returns at the end of the season/playoffs and the Fever loses games.
I enjoyed the game. Only watched a few minutes, but saw Carrington get decked twice 
In an interview, Boston said that when Caitlin is in the game, the balance and spacing is massive and automatic due to her gravity. She said it took them awhile to figure how to get spacing and movement when it wasn’t automatic and that they’ve figured out how to do it. So assuming Caitlin returns this season, they should be able to run an effective offense no matter who is on the floor. They could actually be a super tough out in the playoffs.
I could be proven wrong but to me, it would be pure lunacy to trade her, even if a team could scrounge up enough players and picks to make it plausible. I think the fever have done what they had to with injuries, and being able to compete and win without her on the floor is more valuable than a big who might give them an extra five points per game in production over what they are getting now. In any event, this team is agile and fast, conducive to just how Caitlin likes to play. They have a puncher’s chance in the playoffs.
CC was dressed for the shoot around yesterday.
How close she is to returning to live game action, who the heck knows.

Lunacy indeed. Set aside any possible roster combination, trading the player that is generating hundreds of millions in ticket and merchant licensing revenue would unquestionably be the biggest fiasco in the history of WBB.
Trading Clark would rival, if not surpass, the infamous 1919 Red Sox trade of Babe Ruth to the Yankees. Complete and utter disaster for Boston which vaulted the Yankees into a preeminent power for at least half a century.
What an addition these 2 women have been.
Without Caitlin, the Fever - intentionally or unintentionally - have their opponents baboozled. The natural tendancy is to prioritize defending Kelsey, AB, and/or Howard. But IMO the key to beating the Fever's is shutting down Ari McDonald. Because without her, their lost. At some point, McDonald will start getting the CC treatment.
Clark, Mitchell, Hull, Cunningham, and now Chloe Bibby. Dantas ialso has decent accuracy from long range. That’s a team with a loaded and potent 3PT shooting lineup.
As long as Boston and Howard stay healthy, assuming Clark returns soon, I still maintain that Indiana is a legitimate contender for a championship.

Lololol.. They'd have to be out of their minds to trade her. Well, that does make you wonder considering some of the stuff they've done..
This. Some people have been listening to Carolyn Peck too much in these broadcasts. This team is NOT better with out her. She comes back from the first injury and drops 35 on the Liberty in a big win. CC22/Mitchell/Boston drug this team to the playoffs the 2nd half of last season.
No, she will not, which is why she's been successful. NO ONE faces the defense that Clark does. Big reason that PB is chasing down some of the rookie records that Clark set last year. They don't pick her up 90ft from the basket, and maul her with arm bars and hand checking the length of the court. They don't do that with any other player.
So why did you respond. Posters were pointing out several others said they might think about trading her. Those are the people who were being adressed. Who knows what those numskulls (Fever mgmt), would do, but the fans would probably burn Gainbridge down.
I responded because I brought up how they would do bringing back CC. Then a bunch of people started about her getting traded. Wanted to make sure people didn’t think I was advocating for that. You don’t like it tough ****.
Was the Babe the "Babe" before that trade? CC is the WNBA. She draws crowds wherever she plays. I think the Yankees would have still become dominant with or without the Babe.
Jees, calm down dude. I was merely pointing out that YOU were not the one people were responding too. No one said "hey whats the deal with The Big Z".
You called me out my man. If you don’t think so that’s cool.
That was not my intent. I was just trying to point out that I didn't think anyone was calling you out for that. My apologies if it came across that way....
