[73-9 and THEY LIED @CuffsTheLegend]

love watching Caitlin Clark hoop but she does whine too damn much and i can see how that shit can be annoying af when you already don’t like her greatness lol

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@DayDreamThis Her passing/playmaking ability far exceed her scoring ability. In what world is that a slight?

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

Miami managed to acquire Giannis. Very curious to see how they round out their roster.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

Is there any other subject matter or player you post about?

[House of Lowlights @HouseLowlights]

Angel Reese put on a show tonight 🔥

There is no fanbase in sports that’s this whiney and it’s not shocking when you know what most of their political leanings are.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@kenswift Their struggles stem mostly from players. Coaches have had some low points but have not been nearly as bad as some fans are suggesting.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@ill_name_this_x Well this is silly

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@Emperor_Skookum @MasterRamsford You haven’t heard my criticism. The only thing I did was ask a question in which you refuse to acknowledge.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@Emperor_Skookum @MasterRamsford Again, let’s solely focus on CC. Do you think she had a good game?

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@Emperor_Skookum @MasterRamsford It’s okay to criticize CC without bringing anyone else up.

[‎ً @Dubsn4]

Efficiency getting normal + she’s finally utilizing her middy and downhill ability. The turnovers getting worse + she gets too down on herself once things go left and it destroys her.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@Emperor_Skookum @MasterRamsford Yes. People who watch the games comment on it constantly. But ignoring CC’s flaws/bad performances while shifting blame is not productive.

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@JacobRude She had 5 TO’s in the 3rd. She did a good job scoring the ball but did she have a good game?

[BucketsRFree @LetsTalkHoop]

@ClemVegas @wbbmayer What does that have to do with standing still when the ball isn’t in your hands?

[WBB MAYER 🏀 @wbbmayer]

The Indiana Fever run two different offenses. I didn't see it before, but I clearly see it now.

I believe Stephanie White has one. And Caitlin Clark has one.

I can see them calling and running plays when it's not thru Caitlin. But, when Caitlin has the ball, it's mostly her calling for picks.

She clearly goes rogue on the offensive schemes. Very often.

I can see her teammates signaling her to move off the ball to get open looks thru Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.

And she doesn't move. She often stands in one spot. When she doesn't have the ball, she looks uninterested in being any other type of threat on offense.

When Caitlin is out of the game, the Fever don't play this way. They all move.

This isn't even to say that one way works over the other. Many Caitlin fans want her to be as heliocentric as possible.

She was being heliocentric in that 3Q after Atlanta adjusted.

She had 5 turnovers in the period. This makes her defensive lapses unacceptable.

The Indiana Fever are an interesting bunch.

And we get to see it all play out with ALL of their games being nationally televised.

Call it the Caitlin Clark Effect, for sure.

Jordin Canada with a great floor game.
