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

[Hawksfor3]

Off Toronto's leg.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Nice move by CC.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

24 points, 11 assts, 5 reb.

5 TO

 

[Ludd]

Why?

Oops, never mind….I’m stuck on FIBA rules.

 

[hawkeyewx]

I don't think CC has had 5 fouls in a game since very early in the season.

 

[Hawksfor3]

5th foul. Sit 'er down.

 

[hawkeyewx]

If you need baskets, just get the ball to KM. She's ridiculous.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice finish by Mitch there.

 

[Legend12]

Let's see if 6'6" Russell can get her 2nd rebound tonight.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Barring a meltdown, Indy will keep pace with Atlanta.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Down to 3 games left.

 

[Legend12]

Let's see if 6'6" Russell can get her 2nd rebound tonight.

Nope. 15 mins. 1 rebound.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Fever D got much better late in the game. The Tempo only scored 35 in the second half.

 

[wilson reborn]

Let’s be honest. Mitchell is team MVP. Mitchell and CC are incredible together.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Hawksfor3]

Lonely at the top.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Let’s be honest. Mitchell is team MVP. Mitchell and CC are incredible together.

For as much as some people want to make her out to be a shot chucker, she's incredibly efficient and consistent.

CC and KM have literally carried this team. It’s incredible how a backcourt has been so burdened to carry success.

Front court has to start playing way better if they're going to win a series in the playoffs. Tempo had 12 offensive boards tonight to the Fever's 3. Fever gonna get killed in the playoffs if Boston and Timpson don't establish more of a presence near the basket.

Don't trade AB, trade another player and give up a 1st round draft pick. KM, AB, CC and Reese for a run of W championships.

Salary cap makes that pretty much impossible.

Get Shakira Austin from Washington.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Nothing is impossible if one of your players makes 10 times more from endorsements and wants to win.

AB just doesn’t offer fhia team what it needs most. She’s the highest paid player in the league. A wavy DM would exploit her reputation and make a trade.

She's the 25th highest paid player.

 

[IowaCityLit]

She's the 25th highest paid player.

She has the richest total salary in history. Come on man.

Quit protecting players.

Fever supermax contract with AB will prove to be the single greatest factor in lowering this teams ceiling. Unless…they trade her and do it smartly.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

I still don’t think Boston is the problem so much as the way she’s being coached this season is the problem. Pulling your biggest regular player away from the hoop on offense is going to really hamper your ability to rebound your misses. And even if her 3pt % is good, that still isn’t as valuable as having her on the inside when you have KM as a good 3pt shooter too.

I do think she is overpaid though considering her contract and that is going to hamper the Fever in the next couple offseasons.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Fever have 3 players that would see meaningful minutes on any other contender and people want to trade one of them away.

Fever have 3 players that would see meaningful minutes on any other contender and people want to trade one of them away.

Unfortunately if they want to get more players that could fill needs they would have to get rid of one of those three (and you can’t get rid of Mitchell or Clark). They’ve screwed themselves with a few contracts.

That’s completely shortsighted and missing the point and a terrible rationale for keeping players in order to win a title.

AB and KM and CC playing together into the future would kill the Fever chances of ever winning a title. For a few reasons.

AB simply isn’t the type of player the Fever desperately needs on the interior as a C or interior post player. And the Fever can never get that type of player with 3 supermax contracts. They will have to make the difficult (don’t think it’s that difficult) to move on from AB. Problem s I actually think her trade value will continue to slip a bit as time goes on.
