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

She's certainly the MVP of the league and she showed in throughout the series.

Still waiting for WNBA teams to actually try to take away a team's best player, especially the way they try with Caitlin.

NBA teams do it. College teams do it. WNBA can only do it if it's Caitlin, or the Liberty taking offense to Olivia Miles going on a podcast and saying nobody can guard her..................

Weak, but I think she learned when to just walk away.

Not to take away from the fact that the Aces shot 15 more FT's than Indiana, that's insane and some of the calls were absolutely horrendous. But, the referees didn't force Clark and Mitchell to miss the shots as they did tonight. That was also horrendous. Throw in the roster as a whole, keeping in mind that this roster wouldn't win a championship the way it's constructed. The Aces shot a better FG% than the Fever. If Clark and Mitchell had made a few more of their shots each, we would have won. Clark 6-18 and Kelsey 7-23. Can't have that and expect to advance.

Looking at the stats, the teams made 30 and 29 FGs, 9 and 8 3pt FGs, had the same number of TOs and pts off TOs. The only real difference is the Aces made 28 FTs while the Fever made 14.

I do agree with you that this is a huge FT discrepancy. On the other hand, I believe that if Clark and Mitchell had made a few more shots than they did, the Fever would have pulled this one out. Also, maybe throw in more help from the other starters. Timpson and Hull combined for only 4 points. I get that MA came in off the bench and came up big with a huge 12/12 performance, and that was great to see. But, If your two primary scoring threats don't contribute enough offensively, meaning scoring something like 25/30 each in any combination, then it's difficult to win, especially against a good defense. Tonight, it was a total of only 41 points.
