6th crunch time loss. That is a lot of choking.

The Fever defense just keeps getting worse. It's impossible to win consistently playing like this.
The Fever shot 59% overall, 13-27 from 3pt, and 18-19 FTs, but lost. That's insane.

The refs let the Mercury inbound the ball while Mitchell was on the court with 6 fouls. All you need to know about the W.
That's what happens when you don't play physical enough in a league that gives up calling fouls after a certain point because they don't take this league seriously.
If you play soft and afraid to foul, it will get you in more foul trouble and obviously it also means you're gonna get burned for baskets because you're not keeping anyone in front of you, and everyone is afraid to help as well.........
But hey Stephanie White got them to the semifinals last year without CC, don't ya know.

The throat punch?
They allowed Thomas all the room she needs to hit her push shot or a lay up
Not sure how Sophie gets all those minutes when she is not hitting 3 point shots
No one helps on defense with this team they are all waiting for the ball go thru the net so they can race up the floor to scoreThat's what happens when you don't play physical enough in a league that gives up calling fouls after a certain point because they don't take this league seriously.

Not much talk about the fist to the throat, knee to the groin, and then the unnecessary step over. That is at least a Flagrant 1 foul. The unnecessary step over has been called a Technical foul for taunting in the NBA too.
Their other wing isn't hitting 3 point shots either.
That’s how SW wants to play…take all the time off the shot clock and then shoot. She wants to win ugly.
What Thomas did to Clark would be a penalty in football, but in the W it’s a no call.
They play at the fastest pace in the WNBA.
She should be suspended for that. Also white needs to be on the refs asses about that.
I assume you guys haven't seen the replay of Thomas punching Clark in the throat when she was on the ground surrounded by three players. Another totally intentional dirty play with the refs looking the other way...
Do some digging for the replay of Clark being punched in the throat by Thomas when she was on the ground in the scrum. I don't think mgmt wanted her back on the floor, since the refs aren't going to control this nonsense.
She should be, but probably won't. Thomas is the poster child for what the league wants. Toughies who don't worry about fouls and would be comfortable in alley fights or bar room brawls...
So you don't think that gave them pause about putting her back out there when she got dinged up? The league is obviously not going to do anything about this nonsense.
This league is out to keep a certain demographic happy
Wasn't all that bad honestly. She just balled her fist and pushed on her neck."throat punched"
No big deal. Nothing to see here and no need to be overly dramatic white knights for Caitlin Clark.............amirite?
You're a funny guy, you know?"throat punched"
At least she's hauling in lots of missed shots.........................@Hawksfor3 don’t look at AR’s box score rn
I'll be betting the playing ability out of Reese, Miles and others from here on out.
Had Reese for 8 pts and 12 rebs. I look forward to seeing her hit that.
Things are coming to a head. We’ve got dirty players literally assaulting CC, a league that is complicit in the violence, and a thinly veiled conspiracy among refs and league officials. And opposing teams know it’s being permitted. A disgusting spectacle all the way around.
AT is a crafty old vet. Really subtle, wouldn't you agree?Wasn't all that bad honestly. She just balled her fist and pushed on her neck.

She’s quite the crafty brute.
Clark needs to run,not walk away from this ****** league.
She hit for youAt least she's hauling in lots of missed shots.........................

Finally, some life from SW. Calling out the zebras.
David Stern needs to step up and step in, since this league is funded by the NBA and either get in the ear or just replace the W's commish with someone better.
About effing time! She must be feeling her seat's hot!
I agree, but don't hold your breath. Complacency's the name of the game around the NBA.
