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

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Omg they called young with a push off which she does all of the time

 

[Hawksfor3]

I think the Fever are further away from being a title contending team than most realize. And absent of blowing up the roster I don’t think they will get there.

I think the Big 3 are exciting and dynamic. Just think their actual limitations individually and collectively lower their ceiling. I think it’s a roster that has to be reimagined. Not tinkered with.

And because of these items, they continually hammer nails in their collective coffins.

 

[Manfredi]

run nothing just huck up a long 3...rinse and repeat

 

[IowaCityLit]

They've got 3 players that would start or see meaningful minutes on any other playoff team and one of them is hurt.

Again you’re missing the point. This got them a 6 seed 2 years ago. And this year. Different coaches, different styles, same results. The point about stating on any other team is irrelevant. Just something missing in terms of competing with the best in the WNBa that still rewards physicality above scoring and finesse.

They stay together and they’ll be a fun, dynamic 6th seed team to eternity.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Caitlin's shot is a little flat, but also everything looks like it's aimed for the front of the rim..........everything.

And sure as sh**, she is hitting the front of the rim on everything.

Trash.

 

[hawkeyewx]

CC needs to be way better or the Fever are done.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Vegas could put up 140 points today lol.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Fever have 3 points in 5 minutes of the second half.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Wilson "clearing out" KM lol.

 

[Manfredi]

Timpson and 4 perimeter players isn't going to cut it. If Boston is going to stay out of the paint I really don't know what they are thinking

 

[Hawksfor3]

Crickets from SW. Take a T for heaven's sake. Something!

 

[hawkeyewx]

Timpson and 4 perimeter players isn't going to cut it. If Boston is going to stay out of the paint I really don't know what they are thinking

Passing it to AB for threes is not a strategy that will win any championships.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Nobody is even laying a finger on A'ja after the missed shot. Easy put-back. Total sh*t show.

 

[Hawksfor3]

That "injury" hampering Wilson lol.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Awful

 

[Manfredi]

Nobody is even laying a finger on A'ja after the missed shot. Easy put-back. Total sh*t show.

When Timpson is the only one that stays down low.......

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Mithcell 3-12
Clark 4-12

 

[Hawksfor3]

When Timpson is the only one that stays down low.......

And then SW has AB shooting 3's.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

CC needs to be way better or the Fever are done.

She doesn't give a f*** anymore.

 

[hawkeyewx]

I can't even watch this anymore. A'ja is the best player by a mile and the Fever couldn't beat the Sun right now.

 

[IowaCityLit]

CC get swept and get to Iowa City to be the guest picker for gameday!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Timeout. SW says, "Let's talk about it."

 

[IowaCityLit]

She doesn't give a f*** anymore.

She knows a rotten roster when she sees one

 

[Manfredi]

This team isn't "just a player away". If Mitchell doesn't resign then everybody should be available on the roster imo.

 

[Hawksfor3]

She knows a rotten roster when she sees one

In the playoffs, and have players nailed to the floor.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Yep. Got her on the arm. Easy call.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Raven making the most of her minutes.

 

[IowaCityLit]

This team isn't "just a player away". If Mitchell doesn't resign then everybody should be available on the roster imo.

Agree. Fever should completely rebuild. They won’t. But they should. And who will take Boston with that contract? I think they’re kinda screwed.

Trash.

Been saying that, she's even said it's better when she has to shoot over taller players

 

[IowaCityLit]

These complimentary players just can’t play at this level. None of them

 

[Hawksfor3]

Analyst smokes the call, and says she can see why it isn't a Flagrant foul lol.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Good defense last play.

 

[Manfredi]

Good defense last play.

There's this story about a blind squirrel and a nut but i digress

Pointing out that they have three playoff quality players is not irrelevant. When you only have three players that can reliably create their own shot it puts a lot of weight on their shoulders. And when one or god forbid two are in foul trouble, hurt, or just having an off game then things can get ugly quick.

You're point about physicality is valid. Boston when healthy can provide some of that, unfortunately given how small Kelsey is I don't think she'll be able to add that part to her game. Caitlin has improved on that in some regard but that is still something that she struggles with.

Get two other quality starters that can help with bringing physicality on both sides of the ball and then it's not as big of an issue.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Looked like Yamamoto's fingertips were on the ball after KM's foot touched it. You can see a small space between KM's foot and Yamamoto's fingers before it went OOB.

 

[Manfredi]

Going to have to clear some serious payroll to do that.

I think this is valid. Not sure I trust the front office to find the right players. Especially given the payroll situation.

 

[IowaCityLit]

CC has definitely quit lol.

 

[Hawksfor3]

And the award goes to....
