IMO the biggest mistake was letting Natasha Howard get away. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the Fever would be contending for the top spot in the standings with Howard in the lineup.

Howard, Bonner, and Smith didn't play that well here in Indy. Once they moved on, they have all played very well.
But, you know what? Out of those three, I liked Howard the most. I just wish she was more consistent at times when she did get opportunities to play. Smith, who was often referred to as "Sack of potatoes", was a little lazy at times. Finally, the lovesick Bonner, who just gave up.
Blatant, blatant, blatant crap on Caitlin is not being called. The grab on her arm is ridiculous and right in front of the ref.
Howard’s production for Minnesota is remarkably consistent to last season’s wwork with Fever when adjusted for MPG except for notably better APG.
Howard really emerged during the second half of last season and was a force in the paint. Timpson is stepping up a bit the last couple weeks but it’s hard to replace a crafty vet like Howard.
Jeez people here talk about her like she's Addison O'Grady.
She's 10th in rebounding and 10th in blocks who could easily move closer to the Top 5 in both.
Boston is one of the better interior presences in the league. Is she able to make up for all of the defensive mistakes and lack of rebounding effort coming from the guards? No, but there isn't a single player in the WNBA that could.
The grab on the arm right in front of the ref was called a foul during the game. As were at least two other plays in the video.
There were two arm grabs shown.
I am talking about the arm grab which is the centerpiece of the video, the "new footage." It's shown first, Caitlin's arm is raked and she pops the ball up for a turnover and breakaway layup.
The other arm grab by Paige initiated some pushing back and forth and eventually a foul was called, but it was a pretty slow whistle.
The only other foul called I think was the tackle. Great credit to the refs for that one I guess.
The tone of the dude narrating IS way too whiny and not every call or non-call is going to go Caitlin's way but the refs are ignoring a lot of shat.
That is correct…and I’m not a wrestling fan, so I don’t have an over the top hatred of Iowa.
The grab on the arm was not…it wasn’t called until Clark pushed her off.
Paige was trying to foul intentionally and she had to do it twice before they called it, that’s pretty sad.
As a group most of the players in the W set poor picks. They're often not set, (part of that is the person with the ball as well). Every game its multiple illegal screen calls, and its not like they call everything either.
True, but at least in the past Boston set something close to a pick making the defender go over the screen or around it, so she could roll…she doesn’t even come close now and the defender doesn’t even know she’s there.
Some people hold carp on high. Like Asians. I think
Wrong. Might i suggest glasses or maybe some contacts, whichever you prefer
Jones w/ 2 for them...that's huge as she has the body to bang with Boston down low.
Clark and Mitchell both with 1...hopefully they are careful the rest of the quarter.
Mo was slapped in the mouth early. Did you see that? SMH. Libs gonna stay "Physical" lol.
