Love Jackie Young but she will never get the criticism that Caitlin Clark gets for stat padding a triple double 😂

Paige stinker against the sun? And they want me to believe Caitlin Clark is ass for 19/10 against the best team in the league. Get the fuck out of here.

Indiana lost that game on the glass. Minnesota 10 more rebounds and 11 offensive rebounds led to them getting 8 more shot attempts. Fever shot 57% from the field and 46% from 3. Lynx shot 57% from the field and 44% from 3. Lynx 76 shot attempts to Fever’s 68 equals 7 point loss

[Paddocast Sports @PaddocastSports]

Watching the postgame a thing that constantly sticks out to me is that CC is very accountable and often calls her self out. Tonight it was giving up offensive rebounds.

Love to see that leadership from her.

Win or lose. I’m actually proud how the Indiana Fever fought back in the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. This is the type of defensive stops that we need to see all four quarters. They cut the deficit to 2 but made some mistakes and couldn’t hit shots 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

DIG IN FEVER.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Can’t be mad if the Fever lose to the Lynx. We don’t need to analyze how we stack up against them. If the Fever can’t improve their defense against the top 7 teams - they won’t win a chip this year.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Any time Caitlin Clark has a clean defensive stop (steal or block) the refs call a foul on her 😂

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Well we were only down by 6 points in the 3rd and in a matter of a minute, the lead is back to 12 😂😂😂

[Robin Lundberg @robinlundberg]

Lexie Hull is giving the Fever absolutely nothing.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Are these refs going to call these AND-1’s for KM?

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Rebecca Lobo mentioned that Caitlin Clark needs to improve on boxing out her opponent and grabbing those defensive boards. She’s right, CC needs to stop ball watching.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Kelsey Mitchell is our best defender on Olivia Miles while also keeping this Fever team in this game.

[Ashwin @Sudharsan_ak]

Kelsey Mitchell single handedly keeping Fever in the game👏👏👏

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Did Raven lose her confidence? This is the type of game where she could make a defensive impact, especially on Olivia Miles.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

An improvement in this first half is that the Fever only have 4 turnovers. Hope they continue to protect the ball.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Fever needs to lock in on defense this second half. Secure the REBOUNDS. Gave too many second chance opportunities.

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Lynx shooting percentage will cool off eventually, right? 😭😂

[Hoops Orbit @Hoops_Orbit]

Olivia Miles is cooking this Fever team 😭
