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

[eyesofhawk]

Bluder had way more success playing Clark off ball than White has. The difference was Bluder had it designed to get her the ball at the end of the play….in White’s system she never sees the ball again. That’s not the league, that’s the coach. And what future are they protecting, she’ll be gone after next year.

I didn't imply late clock strategy to be "the league".

I was talking about the open court dynamic

. You can't just toss the ball at someone's head and say it's their fault.

Unless they're a Wisconsin player........then it's absolutely their fault, and they deserved it.

The open court dynamic that CC had at Iowa, simply will not be replicated in the pros, no matter who the coach.

Fans need to get over it.

It's a different game. And Bluder had to sacrifice some elements of the game to achieve that dynamic. Not quite a gimmick sysytem. But there are reasons she never had a good defensive team in 24 years.

Plus, if back problems are a reality, then Indiana is prudent in protecting their future. Rounding out the rest of the team, while taking stress off CC by occasionally putting her off the ball, or on the bench, would only make sense. If they were riding her into the ground and she couldn't play again, fans would freak out too

Explain the wonderful job they did this off season "rounding out the team"?

The dipsh!t ref was looking right at that illegal screen. Do you think Aja, Phee, or Paige would’ve gotten that call? I sure as hell do! That screen should have been set with the front of the body and not the shoulder.

Not to mention you could clearly see in the replay she lifted her shoulder into Clark

I think she's locked longer then that as a "restricted" FA. The Fever can match any offer in less they decide to let her walk. At that point they better trade her and get some value or the fans will burn down Gainbridge.
