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

[IowaMuse5]

An ugly game. But winnable.

WTH? Where's Bibby?

 

[IowaMuse5]

WTH? Where's Bibby?

Thinking the same thing. Not like the Fever are humming offensively. Give her some mins..

 

[Hawksfor3]

She was on early. White benched her and just now put her back in. Damn. She's probably cooled way off now.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Just when it looked like the Fever may try to pull away, Dallas goes on an 14-0 run. This game is slipping away in a hurry.

 

[IowaMuse5]

Dreadful. At times this team just looks lifeless. no edge or tenacity.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

22% from 3.... Great idea to start chucking when your team is on a scoring drought.... Zero basketball IQ

 

[IowaMuse5]

Bostons defense. Yikes.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bostons defense. Yikes.

And, does Dantas even know how to jump?

 

[hawkeyewx]

Jeezus, Fever, now a 17-0 Dallas run. WTF happened? This is worse than the first quarter.

So far, I don't think a single good thing has happened for the Fever with Sims in the game.

Stephanie White.

A 17-0 run. Against Dallas. This game is a perfect example of why this roster has a much lower ceiling than many realize.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Total meltdown by the Fever. Just atrocious basketball. Not even paying attention on the inbound play.

 

[IowaMuse5]

Have Bibby and Km start chucking 3s and see if they can come back.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Yeah, not a great pass by Bibby, but she owned it after hitting the 3.

 

[Row55]

When this Fever team is off, they're *really* off

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hull hasn't scored, although she has 5 rebs, 3 asts, and a steal. Where's last year's Dantas? No points.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The last two years, the Fever have a bad habit of not showing up to play bottom teams at home.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Two bad turnovers from Bibby have led to 4 quick points for the Wings.

 

[hawkeyewx]

This team badly needs CC back. The offense is lost tonight against a sh**ty Dallas team, and every miss/TO is turning into points for the Wings.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Two bad turnovers from Bibby have led to 4 quick points for the Wings.

On the upside, she has 11 points.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Sims has played 13 mins. 2 ast. That's it.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bueckers has 16 points on 6-16 shooting. 5 rebs, 8 ast, and 2 stls. Impressive.

 

[Hawksfor3]

White clueless.

 

[hawkeyewx]

White clueless.

What do you want Coach White to do? Come out of retirement to go in and play point guard?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Quinerly sent a message to Hull with that foul.

 

[Hawksfor3]

What do you want Coach White to do? Come out of retirement to go in and play point guard?

She's ultimately responsible for the mess they're in.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Mitchell with 20 and looking to add. Fever should have never been in this catch up predicament to begin with. White, have your players ready to not play down to your competition.

 

[Hawksfor3]

And on top of all this, we have the officials.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Good comeback, but a terrible loss. That last possession was awful.

 

[Hawksfor3]

And White calls a TO with 1.7 left.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The Fever have home losses to the Sun, Wings, Sparks (x2), and Valkyries.

 

[Denmar]

When Howard brought the ball up the court on the last possession I just knew they’d **** it up.

 

[DTP2]

low IQ basketball every time we have a shot to win. Fn drive.

 

[IowaMuse5]

The Fever have home losses to the Sun, Wings, Sparks (x2), and Valkyries.

But the core is outstanding.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

And on top of all this, we have the officials.

Yea, that obvious hook and hold where they called the foul on Boston, then reviewed it and let it stand. It was a 1 point game at the time. Its one thing to miss a call , but then review an obvious mistake and not correct it shows both how bad the officiating is, but what a waste of time replay is. That was a textbook example of why they put that rule in, and yet.....

 

[The Big Z]

But the core is outstanding.

I was just waiting for that from you. Should they have won that game? Clearly. But Mitchell was a plus 6 and scored 24 pts. Boston did not have her best game but without a true pt guard to get her the ball it’s clearly not the same. But you know that and don’t care. Lexi not making a basket the entire game doesn’t help.

For there to be a hook and hold there has to be a hold...Li never held Boston's arm and she had all the time in the world to get back in a better guarding position.

 

[Legend12]

Bibby was a nightmare defensively and handling the ball.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bibby was a nightmare defensively and handling the ball.

I agree with you on the ball handling, but to her defense, White took her out just when she was heating up in the first half.
