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

[AFM22]

There shouldn't be any "Jawing" to begin with. Now, throwing a brightly colored, irregularly shaped object, that should be a fan ejection.

Is Tom still banning us for saying *****?

So I can say dick but I can’t say *****?

 

[Buffalo43]

Kelsey is now playing defense but she is fouling every time

 

[The Big Z]

96 pts wins this. But not sure they get there.

 

[Denmar]

34- 18 FT discrepancy. Tough to win when the other team shoots almost twice as many.

 

[Buffalo43]

Looks like a win but they need to play perfect in Vegas

 

[Iowameat]

Well game 3 on the way

Nah. Fans want to say stupid **** players have every right to jaw back at them.

And that discrepancy is fine...the Fever were a lot more aggressive and physical tonight than the Aces were...they set the tone for how the game was going to be played and kept it up pretty much all game.

 

[Legend12]

8:00 PM Thursday night!!

 

[Manfredi]

After Timpson missed those 2 inside I don't think she played again

 

[AFM22]

No Clark turnovers in the 2nd.

she locked in tonight

 

[Hawksfor3]

Well game 3 on the way

No way they can repeat a win in LV. Wish they could, but...

 

[The Big Z]

34- 18 FT discrepancy. Tough to win when the other team shoots almost twice as many.

58-28 in the paint for the Fever. That’s domination.

 

[Legend12]

After Timpson missed those 2 inside I don't think she played again

It wasn't just that she missed...but they weren't good shots and on at least one had CC wide open squared up for a 3.

 

[WDSMHawk]

After Timpson missed those 2 inside I don't think she played again

I don't think she's ready for the physicality in this matchup. Pray Boston stays out of foul trouble and ride with MHA/Billings.

 

[Franisdaman]

The Fever win, 99-89, and force a game 3 in Las Vegas.

CC showed why she's the best women's basketball player on the planet.

33 minutes played

5-11 (45%) from three
.....4-7 (57%) from inside the arc
.............................................................
9-18 (50%) Overall Shooting

4-4 (100%) FTs

27 points
15 assists
7 rebounds

That means CC created at least 57 of the Fever's 99 points.

26 points for Mitchell
22 for Boston

Las Vegas scoring:
31 points for Young
22 for A'ja
10 for Gray

Didn’t see the game until midway through the 4th. Fever being physical is a rarity.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nah. Fans want to say stupid **** players have every right to jaw back at them.

It's common for fans to act like A*holes sometimes. These players have fans ejected by approaching them. They need to cap that. SW hanging out on social media interacting with Fever fans is ridiculous as well, but that's a topic for another discussion. If someone says a vulgar thing, then let the surrounding fans deal with that individual.

 

[Sett1997]

Clark 28 pts. 15 ASSISTS and 7 boards.
Crazy!

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Refs putting in overtime to preserve the series for the Aces. Glad it didn't work out for them. Aces shot 10 more FTs tonight as the road team. Lol. Thursday it'll probably be 30.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Fever did good to preserve Clark's nice game tonight.

 

[Hawksfor3]

14 from our bench tonight. Better score some next game.

75 came from Clark/Mitchell/Boston

Yeah she should have hit CC on the one...just thought it was strange she didn't see the court after that as she has been pretty solid for a while imo

 

[Manfredi]

I don't think she's ready for the physicality in this matchup. Pray Boston stays out of foul trouble and ride with MHA/Billings.

MHA was a good fit for tonight but I'd rather have Timpson over Billings. She had as many boards as Boston in just 9 minutes.

I see @Legend12 isn't buying into the special whistle for the Aces........

 

[The Big Z]

Hines Allen needs some minutes in my opinion. Without her when Boston goes out there’s just nothing. She’s physical and that’s what they need. CC just put this team on her back tonight. She just played so fearless which got the crowd into it and finally woke up the rest of the team. I’d give them about a 10% chance of winning in Vegas but CC just needs to say F it and play like she did tonight.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

I see @Legend12 isn't buying into the special whistle for the Aces........

It's funny. I've heard so much about how CC gets that special kind of love from the refs... meanwhile in their first two playoff games she's been called for 11 fouls.

 

[pablow]

I believe CC is a very good pro player but not a great one. Her limitations (poor defense and excessive turnovers) are tremendously detrimental and are most evident when this team falls behind by double figures. At that point you can just about write off any chance for a comeback.

Hot take of the week nomination.

Went back to look at the foul on Wilson that disqualified Clark. Wilson caught Clark with an elbow to the shoulder on the way down and taunted Clark afterward. POS.

Yep. CC would have gotten a t.

it’s a protected double standard for sure

She's white and straight, doesn't fit the narrative of today's world. Not trying to start political bs. Just saying the truth. Crazy thing is, no one cares if your black and gay.
Why do the talking heads give a **** what she is?

2 great players?

Nah. A complete example of why the Fever aren’t title contenders.

this is a league where versatility leads to championships.
