Yeah, I saw one where her teammate was running down the right side of the lane when Clark hit her with a nice pass from the right side of the lane, and the girl dribbled out of the lane instead of just taking the easy layup. She’s got some terrible teammates.

Reese did have a nice game too. Obviously teammates matter. Reese has a much better team around her. It allows her to do her thing. She flirted with a double-double but didn't get it.

And that same exact inbounds play that was in the previous two or three posts happened again in the second half. Same wide open. Missed the shot. Clark was flirting with a triple-double, but also came up a bit short. A couple of rebounds, and 4 assists, but teammates blew at least 4 gimme layups that would have put her at 10.
And yes, she had 5 more turnovers. And missed some shots. But that is nitpicking at this point.

No shortage of airballs in the game as well.

These are pros ---- right? A layup or
a wide-open jumper from free-throwish distance should be a lock....shouldn't it?

I mean, I don’t think I’ve watched even one entire WNBA game, but yeah, a layup/uncontested jump shot inside the paint should be automatic, I’d think.

Well congrats to Indiana getting their second win of the season. But even Clark's biggest stans on this forum surely cannot say that that was a great performance? Surely?? 2/9 from three continues the trend of poor shooting from distance. People compare her to Curry, but right now it's not even Trae Young. Plus another five turnovers today to move the tally up to 55.

She did get some rebounds and assists which continue to be a bright spot for her but defensively? That Sky guard Chennedy Carter was murdering Caitlin all game in isolation. So she needs to clean that up because teams are starting to hunt her down on defense now.

As for Angel. She had a poor shooting day but her defense and rebounding was once again elite. She got EIGHT offensive rebounds today. Her offensive rebounding this year is actually historic. Also I actually thought Kamilla Cardoso was outstanding. Rebounding, defense, scored etc. And that was her debut today which is scary for the rest of the league.

In closing i saw folks calling out Clark's teammates but they were the one's who won this game. Mitchell and Smith put up 18 and 17 points respectively which was crucial.

We'll see if this will spark a run for Indiana now after winning a game Clark wasn't great in.

ROFL

It kills you when the Fever win a game

They envy is deep in the WNBA. What was up with that cheap shot hip check? That's a flagrant 2 and ejection in college. But I guess it is no big deal in the WNBA. I have no interest in watching that kind of thuggery. Caitlin Clark is bringing eyes and money to the league. She does have a pretty bad team around her though.

I'd say the shooting is a product of playing straight through since October until now, and basically playing 40 minutes straight (which appeared was going to happen today without the ankle tweak in the 3rd quarter) in every game with not many nights off. In the first quarter when she was fresh, she dominated the game. If her teammates would have done anything to help her, the game would have been nearly out of reach for the Sky. So, at best, call it a wash on her teammates bailing her out.

Next season lets see what happens with the shooting percentage when she has the benefit of coming into the season fresh.

This one, I take it...

Blacks and lesbos hate Clark.

Imo Carter was anticipating Boston passing Clark the ball and she jumped in too quickly. Don't think there was anything malicious about it just a clumsy play. But because it happened to Clark folks want to make a big song and dance about it smh :evil:

Look, let's just be honest and stop avoiding the elephant in the room. Caitlin is hated because she's WHITE. You're welcome.

Also called Clark a bitch as Reese leaps from the bench in approval. We're not in Iowa anymore, Toto.

You're either blind or a lying POS. No neutral person sees that as a clumsy play on the ball. Welcome to my ignore list, twat.

He's the biggest :o) on this forum, and that says a lot.

Lol imagine thinking a give a feck about being on this bozo's "ignore list". GOOD, one less idiot to deal with :)

Lol one post on the Clark thread is always enough to get this chump bawling smh :deevee: ROFL

Clark had words for her in an earlier possession when Boston got a bucket.

He's probably the most racist person left on the forum. It's why most are still in here poking at his dumb ass.

There's no shortage of black men calling it out on social media for what it is though. Even Sharp and Ocho did a bit about all these old angry lesbians on their podcast.

So what about Stewert, Sabrina, Diana, Marbury, Brink etc as players and all the white head coach's in the league? According to your logic they are "hated" too right? Smh :LOL:

Another bozo that Is too uneducated to know what "racism" actually means smh go read a book dumbass :shake:

You've been extra angry ever since all the women in the US took turns making fun of roadmen on tiktok.

Just let it go brother, you'll start sleeping better instead of spending all night searching the web for the newest Caitlin Clark news.

So by that logic, maybe just maybe, she is drawing crowds for reasons other than being white

Oh look ghetto lesbo mad white girl good

He was about it being the W's that counted not the stats, until he wasn't LMAO

And can we just use a orange damn basketball please?

NEWSFLASH!!..They're 2-9 buddy are you really gonna throw a party? ROFL

Well with CC playing and it being an actual legitimate sport now I agree

Yeah and CC is having the best WNBA rookie season ever.

What are those reasons? Going 2/9 from three most nights and being a turnover machine who can't defend?? :evil:

Yeah..I had bo clue the didn't before this year. Looks stupid.

Low effort lesbian troll attempt…. Be better

Give Clark her flowers. She’s the only reason the WNBA is relevant. Sorry truth hurts.

Clark is going to have to jack someone and get suspended to get people off her ass.

She needs a goon. How her teammate gonna just stand there and not light that shit up? Can't stand draymond but you can bet if someone did that to steph, he gonna put that dude in a hospital

the league needs to take care of this. She’ll be getting in fights every game unless she lets it go. The league taking care of this hostility is the way to go.

thats why we stated watching...now, we are putting eyeballs on more games

Lol Clark tried to get in Victoria Vivian's face two days ago and when confronted she backed off QUICKLY. Clark don't want no smoke AT ALL so don't hold your breath :D

Black girls just mad she’s more hood is all, they will get over it soon

Maybe because she is not that type of player. She is a great shooter and just maybe her team should protect her.

Honestly, I think the league welcomes the negative press, hell ANY press. The WNBA is trending. For the wrong reasons? Perhaps. But it's trending nonetheless, and I think that is all they care about at this point.

Clark may be less the savior and more the sacrificial lamb. For as many people who tune in to watch her score points, just as many want to see her get beat to shit.

Besides, it's too late now for the league to start cracking down on hostility because Clark hasn't been the only 'victim'. It's rather rampant. If the WNBA takes a hard stance now, it'll only fuel the anti-Clark sentiment and an inevitable belief that the league is softening itself to accommodate Clark and her inability to adapt to pro-level physicality.

Totally agree and finally someone gets it :thumb: . Clark has got a huge Nike deal and is already worth more than the vast majority of the players she steps on the court with so acting like she's having it tough Is silly. Angel Reese was cut down by the neck in a previous game herself so Clark isn't the only one getting tough love. But the fact that there is both a big love and a big disdain for Clark is what's driving this publicity and long may it continue cause I've grown to love the sport now.

This is different. This is a bunch of smug bitches who are resentful that clark is growing the game in a different way. Caitlin clark isn’t a heel. She is a woman young girls who previously had no interest in the game aspire to be. But these veterans are so damn stubborn that they’d rather see the league fail in their own image.

The best thing the league can do is to let clark cook. And embrace her appeal. That doesn’t mean take it easy on her. But the approach of refusing to blow the whistle so players can hack the shit out of her to prove the league is tough is ****ing insane. And the narrative from the players and, worse, the media to convince the public they they should stop giving clark her flowers because she’s white is another level of insane. And we know damn well that’s what’s happening because the media narrative is run by the Jemele hills of the world who got away with this kind of shit before the league was popular, but now they are the dinosaurs who refuse to broaden the appeal of the league.

Clark is the only reason anyone cares about women's basketball.

There were "stars" before Clark yet no one cared about the WNBA.

They finally get someone who breaks the all-time college scoring record, something that no one thought anyone would ever do, who is bringing an incredible amount of popularity to the game and the women in the league are resentful towards Clark.

They're biting the hand that's trying to feed them.

Her teammates allow this to happen. Not a serious sport.

Lol IT'S YOU GUYS making this about "race" because in reality that's why ya'll support her so much :evil: . Because of her race, sexuality and because she's good. If this was Juju Watkins ya'll wouldn't be watching or moaning about anything. Better white players than Clark have entered the league and never had any issues but Clark gets fouled a few times and all of a sudden "it's racism". So when Brianna Strewert body checked Clark was that "racism" too?? Oops she's white so that doesn't fit the narrative right?

The worst foul a rookie has received this season was Angel Reese getting hacked down by her neck and landing hard on the floor. It was so bad the other player got ejected. But ya'll act like everyone is just going after poor old Caitlin even though Aaliyah Boston is always right there ready to scrap for Clark when needed smh.

The bottom line is this whole thing has brought great publicity to the league and it's only gonna get better when Paige, Juju and Kaleena Smith enter the league in the years ahead. Asking for the league to "let Clark cook" is utter bs. If she is who ya'll say she is then her "cooking" will come naturally in time. Fullstop.

Now you wanna question her teammates?? ROFL When Clark tried to bump Victoria Vivian's and Victoria went after her who got in the way and shut it down? Oh that's right Aaliyah Boston but keep acting like her teammates don't like her!!..and btw in that post game interview they were laughing together for most of it.

This is too easy.

It is people like Jemele hill who insist that she is beloved because she’s white, straight and “pretty.” Clark has not done anything remotely racist. She is being persecuted just for existing. Jujus a wonderful player. She may not get the hype you want (yet) but ain’t a damn person persecuting her for her “privilege.”

Hard fouls happen all the time. Yeah a player like angel reese who plays inside and physical is gonna get hit back. People making excuses for this shit miss that this had NOTHING to do with basketball. It was personal. It was not a basketball play, it was someone going out of her way to throw a cheap shot. Her teammates certainly aren’t scrapping for her. Boston just ****ing stood there and coldly helped her up while angel reese celebrated her teammate like it was the Super Bowl. When clark got a tech vs Seattle Boston got heated but it was to pull clark away, it wasn’t getting into the other teams face. None of her teammates have. I think they all get along but it’s really bad body language when the league is throwing grenades at Caitlin on and off the court and her own teammates act so emotionless. That is especially the case for someone like Boston who is hyped up to be a supposedly great leader.

And yeah the league is letting this happen. Angel gets roughed up too. She also shoots almost 10 free throws per game in 10 less minutes despite way less touches, where clark in most games shoots maybe 5. That’s a woman who plays 40 minutes, is face guarded full court the entire team, is a volume player and who goes hard to the basket. That’s why angels foul led to an ejection, while Clark’s was mind numbingly called a common foul which even you know is total horseshit. That’s why Clark’s been T’ed up multiple times but the woman who calls her a bitch then shoulders her doesn’t get jackshit. That shit ain’t normal.

No-one is saying Clark has done anything racist. The issue some folks have had with the whole Clark mania is the PRIVILEGE she appears to be getting. Called the "goat" without winning a ring. First class flights from day one. 25m dollar deal from Nike without even playing a wnba game whilst the likes of Aja Wilson is a champion and mvp and got nothing. And when Dianna said "reality is coming" she was dismissed and ridiculed. These situations will put chips on shoulders and the fire has only been fueled by the likes of Charles Barkley and LeBron making irresponsible statements that further strengthen the unfounded notion that "all the players hate Clark".


It was a bad play but on a previous Fever possession after Boston scored Clark ran up in Carter's face mouthing off stuff. What was said? We don't know but it clearly was enough to get Carter riled up.


Do you know most of Clark's teammates are young too? Boston is Caitlin's age (22), Smith is one year older (23). Berger is 24 etc. The veteran Mitchell is 28 but she's a small guard. Boston has done her best to stop these confrontations but she's not an enforcer. And let's be honest hard play doesn't mean Clark is being targeted. Teams are gonna do everything they can to stop her and being physical is just part of the game.


Cameron Brink has been roughed up, so has Alliyah Edwards, Rakiah Jackson and all the other rookies. And Paige, Juju and the other stars will get it too. That's the league which is why people screaming "racism" is silly. Angel has been getting beaten up and has had to leave the court several times after being roughed up. Has Clark? Nope. So it's not a Clark "thing" it's a rookie thing at the end of the day.

You sound like a dyke bitch fyi

Clark is being targeted but go ahead and gaslight yourself and the WNBA back into irrelevancy.

Who is this buffoon?? Smh at these weirdo's ROFL

People like jemele hill insist her popularity is due to being white and straight and “pretty.” It’s not even implying racism… they directly said it. And at some point it will register with some of you that clark earns money because people pay to see her and buy her merch. Period. They aren’t doing the same for players like Sabrina or Aja for the same reasons Mike trout or Tim Duncan or kawhi aren’t marketable.

It isn’t privilege, it is sponsors bidding on her to earn a piece. And the wnba can choose to either get on board and get the perks and popularity they’ve been griping about not having. Or they can do their current dumb shit trying to get the world to like her less because she doesn’t “represent” them and mold her into the same image and dull style of play that turned people off in the first place. And that isn’t just physical welcome to the league stuff, that is the players blatant resentment for her and insistence on spotlighting other boring players instead. This isn’t even about turning men off to the game. This is about all the young girls out there watching as the women they’ve come to idolize isn’t being accepted by a bunch of petty jealous women. And if they aren’t careful those fans they’ve been trying to pull in are going to piss off those girls and especially the parents who say enough is enough with this shit.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this level of resentment to the golden goose. It never happened with lebron or Steph. It didn’t happen with tiger.instead it is coming from the very athletes who need her the most.

Pf

Somebody just update me when this league has been saved and is finally watchable thanks to Clark. I would take some free time and watch her myself but I'm a straight American male and there are other options for us here.

I think they're too poor in the UK to buy the real sports packages where they have the MLB and NBA and NFL; so they all have like the Tier 3 package where you get the WNBA, soccer and horse riding channels.

Steph wasn't given anything coming into the league. It was earned. But Clark comes in the league and folks are putting her on a pedestal that she is only on because of the privilege she has attained. Would she get this hype if she was black, gay and a progressive? No chance. Clark fits into a box that many in white America are comfortable with. Coupled with her exciting play. If one of those aspects wasn't there would she be hyped? Imo no.

Players in the league owe Clark nothing. Caleb Williams has had a bunch of hype too and you can bet your bottom dollar he's gonna catch hell from defenses and nobody will be screaming about it. Why? Because he doesn't hold a privilege card.

Clark just signed a huge deal that will set her up for life. She's not suffering trust me. But it will be very interesting to see if Juju's rise continue whether the same privilege will be afforded to her? And if not then it will confirm that race has played a huge role in why she's so popular with fans and sponsors alike

Plus she's not a lesbian.

Sabrina ionescu is straight, white and was a college phenom. Kelsey plum is too. You keep insisting that nobody is shouting racism while directly saying clark is only wildly popular because she’s straight and white. So maybe we can knock this shit off that this has anything to do with that and more to do with clark having a highlight reel style of play. Juju and paige have way more marketable styles of play than most wnba’ers which will make the game more watchable but they aren’t gonna have the same marketability as clark. For the same reason dirk and Duncan were mildly marketable while curry became an out of the world superstar. Before Steph earned anything people were going apeshit over the crazy shots he was making. And unlike the wnba, other nba superstars smiled and laughed and fell of their chairs. They didn’t resent Steph for teaching young kids to start chucking up half court shots instead of working on fundamentals. They didn’t resent lebron as a high schooler at a time when many felt he was going to save a dying nba.

And Caleb Williams is a ridiculous comparison. Yeah defenses will play him tough and hit him hard and sometimes cheap shot him. He is entering an already popular sport with mega superstars. Not a damn person is going to claim his draft position was gifted to him because he’s black and straight.

bitch

77K's not enough to have to work on a daily.basis with this kind of human garbage.

There's a decent flow of retired NBA players calling out the league, and especially her teammates, for letting this shit go on this long.

You're a blatant hater if you really think that. Incapable of any honest debate on the subject. Just come clean, or don't. Everyone knows your game anyway.

Sabrina is ROMANIAN and never made noise in march madness. Kelsey Plum's mom appears to have an ethnic background herself and Kelsey too never made much runs with her team in March madness. So neither of them fit into the same box that Clark sits in so it's a frivolous comparison.


Er the comparison IS HYPE and how the opposition is gonna play against him. You agreed that defenses are gonna want to embarrass him right? So why are people mad about opposition playing Clark tough then? IT'S THE SAME THING. Yet you got people saying the league "should let Clark cook" smh.

Bugger is easily the biggest dumbass this board has ever seen.

"Sky Town" on the jerseys? Dumb.

Lol, Wth?

Let’s play a game. Same exact incident, except it’s the NBA, and that’s Steph getting shoved down. You think Draymon just stands there and doesn’t do anything about it?



Don’t be stupid.

VIDEO OF WHAT MAY HAVE SPARKED CHENNEDY CARTER'S REACTION IS HERE!!!

LOOKS LIKE CLARK ELBOWED HER IN THE FACE ON A PREVIOUS POSSESSION :eek: .

ALSO VIDEO HAS EMERGED HERE OF CLARK CHEAP SHOTTING AN OPPONANT FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN IOWA PLAYED COLARDO IN MARCH MADNESS.

https://x.com/cgreen1892/status/1797085635800420499

WOW I NEVER KNEW CAITLIN WAS A "THUG" LIKE THAT :LOL:

Need to see that at regular speed.

Please stop quoting the mental invalid

Chennedy is a dumb ****ing name. That's for sure

Evidence gets dropped and this clown is crying AGAIN!! :deevee: ROFL

Look how excited Bugger is. LMAO Pathetic.

Lots of estrogen in here bet some of you dudes are growing tits

Carter's grabing her arm with both hands... LMAO you are weird.

I'm just putting the evidence out there. She appears to catch Carter's face and then right after that Clark turned around and started chirping. You can make excuses but if Carter was hurt then that explains her actions.

Also funny how you ignored Clark's cheapshot in the second video. What a surprise :evil:

LMAO... Didn't ignore anything. Clark was charged a flagrant foul... Just as Carter SHOULD have been here, that's the difference. You saying it was brought on by Clark hitting her in the face when it's obvious for anybody with 2 working eyes to see she grabbed Caitlin's arm with both hands... but Clark's WhItE!
