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

Sophie should dye her hair light blue just to tick them off

Fever did not deserve a win

 

[IowaCityLit]

Lynx throw the kitchen sink at CC with the strategy of making KM and AB beat them . And they almost did. CC still with. 19 and 10. Just too cold from 3.

Rebounding killed the Fever

It's the Lynx and everyone else right now.

If the Fever ever decide to defend and rebound for the full 40 minutes, they might have something to say about that.

Lynx seemed shaken by the Fever's defensive effort in the second, they took Miles out of the game for most of the second half. But because the Lynx are so stacked, they have equally as good playmakers. The Fever only have CC and Mitchell. Lynx also have better post players.

Rebounding killed the Fever

11 o-boards and 16 2nd chance points. Got 8 more shots off than the Fever.

Only one player on the floor with a double.-double.

But clearly not one of the best on the floor.

19 points, 10 assists (plus how many fumbled passes and missed bunnies?)

Caitlin sure got outdueled by everyone, huh?

At the time I said she was being out dueled, yes. She was pretty much the only person at the time shooting under 50%.

Defensive lapses and some rebounding would be nice. Boston with a leg wrap and taped fingers. The Fever sure could use another effective big.

I would have played Raven vs. Miles at key points, especially the 1st half when Miles was routinely scorching her defender all the way to the basket.

 

[Manfredi]

11 o-boards and 16 2nd chance points. Got 8 more shots off than the Fever.

Fever and Lynx both shot 57%. Fever were 11-24 from 3...Lynx were 11-25. Both teams were 11-15 from the line. Dead even except for the boards and a 12 Fever turnvoers to 6 for the Lynx...but I can live with 12 turnovers against almost anybody.

This blue haired chick has been the fever chiller in the second half. That should just about do it. Good effort be Indiana at the end though.

Yeah well ya know what, their other f***ing players besides Miles should stop trying to help her win......

Rebounding killed the Fever

Yep.

Check this out:

Both teams shot 57% overall

Fever shot 46% from three; MN? 44%

Both teams shot 11-15 (73%) from the FT line.

The difference? Offensive rebounding (that resulted in 2nd chance points) and turnovers. Minny got off 8 more FG attempts than Indy mostly because of their +6 offensive rebounding advantage (resulting in 2nd chance points) and a +6 turnover advantage.

And Indy was still within 2 points (100-98) with 2:37 to go in the game.

MN had 11 ORBs (vs Fever 5). I believe most of those ORBs were converted for 2nd chance points, including a couple 3s. There’s your difference maker

There still wouldn't be any help on her drives.
