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

[The Big Z]

Are you blind? Asking for a friend

Maybe Aja should have just laid off her at the end then and not guarded her hard.

Yeah she should have ...uh that's really not what I'm talking about. I think you know what I'm saying. If you don't think she's guarded harder than anyone else I don't know what to tell ya, because she is

Check this out:

Both teams shot 57% overall

Fever shot 46% from three; MN? 44%

Both teams shot 11-15 (73%) from the FT line.

The difference? Offensive rebounding (that resulted in 2nd chance points) and turnovers. Minny got off 8 more FG attempts than Indy mostly because of their +6 offensive rebounding advantage (resulting in 2nd chance points) and a +6 turnover advantage.

And Indy was still within 2 points (100-98) with 2:37 to go in the game.

Where were the others, though? Making good hard cuts, getting to a spot where they could receive a pass, setting a screen for Clark? Nope.

 

[AFM22]

8 TOs?! 2-10 from 3.

JFC

Ya but those 3s hit like crack

 

[Hawksfor3]

She had a taller defender.... backing up and shooting most likely has the same result as that turnover.... Would have been blocked and a run out.

Veteran move by Aja to guard CC, when the Fever went into stall ball and got Caitlin stuck on an island.

Gotta try to drive sooner or have teammates cutting towards you to help. DON'T THROW THE BALL AWAY CAITLIN

If you go back and replay that play where Wilson stole CC's pass before the winning shot, why was Clark iso-balling on Wilson? Why did everyone else just stand in place, and not even try to screen or help her out? White run out of timeouts? White, you set the play up.

 

[Tom Paris]

BAU gotta love the karmic bullsh** because of the missed call by the refs on the Turner OOB call.

Btw some of Caitlin's shooting and decisions reeks of throwing the game.

Good Lord.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Terrible game by the entire team...just don't mention a particular player

And the entire bench had like SEVEN points?

 

[Tom Paris]

That game is gonna be one that CC will struggle to recover from. Not sure I’ve seen a great player fold like that. I mean just incomprehensible plays and mistakes.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Hull had her head up her *** as usual.

She really isn't bringing much of anything on either end this season. What happened to the Lexi from the last couple of seasons?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Lololol, what a stupid thing to say. Would you like to bet that she won't recover from a poor half of basketball? And yet AGAIN, another game where the ridiculous roster this front office put together gets them beat, If the big three don't play like HOF's against good teams they're screwed.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Like I said......throwing the game.

So your honestly saying she took a dive?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Yeah that lost the game. Never dreamed she'd miss....both nonetheless!!!

Major choke job by cc tonight

The sun will still come up tomorrow

No, she'll never recover from this, or she's started throwing games now, one or the other.....

 

[Randon]

I was really surprised CC wound up with "only" 8 turnovers. Her passes all night were sloppy and lazy and often ill-advised. Her last one, after giving up her dribble, attempting to pass over Wilson's head made absolutely no sense.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I agree.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

So your honestly saying she took a dive?

No she was just making really forced and uncharacteristic decisions all game because she had a migraine..............

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

On the plus side, we were able to get Legend to stop trying to correct everyone during the game any time someone tried to defend Caitlin or argue about a ref call, even if that person's opinion wasn't accurate...............

 

[Hawksfor3]

Yes. Clark should in no way have the turnovers she had. And yes, she blew both FTs which would have sealed a potential victory. But, what about the defense? here's coach once again breaking down the defense. "A garbage can criminal like Stephanie White" LOL.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

If you go back and replay that play where Wilson stole CC's pass before the winning shot, why was Clark iso-balling on Wilson? Why did everyone else just stand in place, and not even try to screen or help her out? White run out of timeouts? White, you set the play up.

I watched the final play again as well, and I agree with what someone else said. As soon as she committed to passing the ball it was gonna be a turnover regardless. She had no clear vision on the pass. It was that forced over the shoulder jump pass bull sh**, and Timpson's defender was already in front of her before Caitlin even went to pass it. Trying to shoot the ball was the only option and she pulled a Paige Bueckers and balked at the opportunity. Who knows if it was because she got scared with Aja defending her, but irregardless it was a terrible play all around by her.

Yessir, it was definitely a no-go. However, why in the world would you iso Clark on Wilson like that with the slimmest of leads? Wilson v Clark is a huge mismatch height wise, and throw in the reach factor as well, what was White thinking? Wasted time on the shot clock, and worse, the steal and winning shot on the other end. My point is that there was no movement by anyone as the play developed until Timpson finally made a cut to the rim, but it was too late. SW, you had a timeout left. When Wilson picked up Clark, why didn't you use it???
