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

[Legend12]

C Gray is so fun to watch

 

[hawkeyewx]

C'mon, Fever, wtf??? They get up by 14 and then commit three straight turnovers and give up a 10-0 run. Crap.

95% of this game has been great. Two brief, terrible runs have really hurt.

 

[Legend12]

Sims has been a great addition to the Fever. She is playing very well.

She has had some huge moments

 

[Hawksfor3]

Boston 4 points. Nice 3 by Lexi.

 

[Legend12]

HUGE end to the quarter!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice flurry by Indy to close out the quarter, up 14.

 

[Legend12]

C'mon, Fever, wtf??? They get up by 14 and then commit three straight turnovers and give up a 10-0 run. Crap.

Holy **** did they ever answer that with a run of their own.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Wow, what a surge to get the lead back to 14 after that brief bad stretch that brought it down to 4.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Kelsey Mitchell is a flat out stud.

 

[Legend12]

I have tix to game 5, so the Fever will probably win in 4.

 

[Legend12]

What a ball fake and go.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Dana Evans playing well after leaving Chicago.

 

[Legend12]

Sims has been a great addition to the Fever. She is playing very well.

You were saying????? 2 great passes in a tow.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Indy with a great run going. Lexi is "Ms. Hustle".

 

[hawkeyewx]

Sims is every bit as good as McDonald was. I'm not sure which one the Fever will want to bring back next year.

 

[hawkeyewx]

We need the Aces to stop hitting these threes. A few misses and this is over.

 

[Legend12]

I feel like McDonald was a little more consistent so I'd go with her if the expectation is 9-10 MPG subbing for CC.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Aces panicking and frustrated. Love it.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Literally, all the Fever have to do now is hold the ball for 20 seconds every possession.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Love the Hammon/Gene Keady look.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Kelsey Mitchell!!! 34 points!!!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Lovely game for Mitchell. 34 points on 12-23 shooting and 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. Well done!

 

[hawkeyewx]

Holy cow, the Fever dominated the red-hot Aces on their home floor!

 

[The Big Z]

If only there was something they could do to slow her down.

Nobody else does either.

I'll fully admit I'm being selfish here, but I'm low-key hoping the Fever don't get the title this year. Because if CC's first ring is from a season where she barely played, it will be used against her the rest of her life. People will say she didn't earn it. I'm happy to see the team has found success, but if they win a chip without CC, the haters will call it a fake ring. Hopefully the team have learned a lot about themselves this year, so they can come back as a strong, cohesive unit for next year.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The Fever were only 5-16 from three (KM was 4-6), but they shot 50% overall and made 16 of 17 FTs.

They’re not beating the Lynx, but they certainly have a shot at getting to the Finals.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Generally speaking, no.

They will study Caitlin to do everything possible to make her life difficult, like picking her up full court with aggressive man D, but for other players they don’t. What a league.

They have to stop the popular white girl

We’re still doing this? Cmon man.

Doing what? No one else was guarded like Caitlin this year or last, on a game-to-game basis. Other teams should do that if they want to win. They just don't guard other players like that, which is puzzling. Maybe KM is too fast for that to work. Maybe not.

 

[Franisdaman]

Meg in for the Aces.

 

[Franisdaman]

Love the Hammon/Gene Keady look.

Gene had better hair

We Lub the Dub!!!

We BeLEVE in the FEVE!

I don't think CC making $11M in 2024 went over too well, to say the least....

She's been out for most of the season. You are right, nobody was guarded like CC full court. But guess what? It is what it is. It's not up to the league to stop doing it. And they've done surprisingly well while she's been sidelined. I'm hoping all of her struggles when she did play this year was due to her injuries and she comes back and dominates. But don't expect her to be guarded any differently.

I didn't say it's up to the league to put a stop to it - I merely pointed out other teams don't guard anyone else in the league like that game in and game out, especially during the regular season. They even guard her like that in preseason games, which makes it even more curious why don't they guard other people like that every night. In any event, I'm not sure why this drew a "we're still doing this come on man" from you.

You're responding to an ultra woke person who can't even follow along with his response to you. His her second post made no sense and did what he normally does by acting like you said something you didn't. He she was just ruffled by you saying something uncomplementary about that trash League

Because she hasn’t played in 2 months? But yet it’s continuous non stop bitching about this league that she’s not even playing in.

Um, she still plays in the league. My point stands. I would add the refs are atrocious. That hasn’t changed either.
