The thing I like most about CC is her consistent team, team, team approach. It never seems to be me, me, me. Time after time it is us, us, us. So refreshing
@@michaelpinell1861 I am sure you are right. Unfortunately, media doesn’t run to talk with them. Sad, that the team minded behavior isn’t celebrated because in team sports one person never wins alone.
@@WayneDucote-lo6sp Great players virtually never make great coaches as for their playing career they perform according to their anomaly talent which cannot be taught to others.
I don't have a problem with what Ionescu said, I just don't see it as a dis on Clark or the team. In fact, the reporter tried to lead Ionescu by claiming that N.Y. didn't play Liberty basketball and Ionescu quickly shot that down by saying they did play Liberty basketball. In essence Ionescu was saying, we brought our A-game but the Fever were hungry for this win, and they stepped up today. and yes, the ROTY is over, and I don't believe for one second that this will be the last of Clark's Triple Doubles this year.
right now, Reese leads in ROTY rankings, I'm not even sure if Clark is #2 in those same rankings. But go to ESPN and you'll see what I'm talking about. Clark didn't even have 20 points today, I believe Reese had close to 30 her last game and I'm sure she had 15 rebounds, which is her norm. I think Clark will have to improve her shooting % to have a chance, and I just am not sure if she can do that, probably not enough games left for that. Add up her last 3 games 3 point shooting % and it's probably cringe-worthy. But I still like her game, don't get me wrong. She's an elite passer, which I knew she could pass well in college, but I didn't think it would translate over due to the tougher defense she faces, as far as assists go, it really hasn't been hard for her. That's pretty impressive.
what sabrina had to say was kind of complimentary to the fever if you ask me The fever are getting better with each game. They now know they can beat the best teams The rest of the season should be fun. I see a lot more wins and triple doubles In Catlins future.
Congratulations to Caitlin Clark for making history today with a triple double…, but more importantly congratulations to all of the Indiana Fever players and coaches for today’s beautiful performance against the New York Liberty Team. This was Indiana Fever Basketball played at its best. Today the team had great chemistry and they played well from beginning to the end. The outcome was picture perfect…..
@@bobjones289 even though stellar game that was one game and one triple double and I understand she is the first rookie to ever do it but when you have a double double every game for over half of the season so far that's also something that has never been done before as a rookie it shows more consistency. It's not over still a half the season to go usually the best teams get in playoff mode coming down the stretch let's see how these rookies pan out.
@@hottrakz just going by Mcnutt and her standards. she said Sky in playoffs if season ended so roty. Now if season ended Fever in playoffs. Still more games to go. These 2 ladies are making waves in the W.
@@bobjones289 when you compare both of their stats they are simular however Angel Reese has been more consistent and scoring at a high level so yes Angel Reese will still be the rookie of the year. They both have now been winning teams. They both have now broken records, so right now I would give it to the more consistent player since this is an individual award. Turnovers will factor in as well as assists. It is close because they both impact their teams greatly.
@@hottrakz Those White CC fans Do not want to hear you talking about Angel Reese.. have you read the comments on how they compare AR to dog & other animals? Also, they said, “if Caitlin Clark was dark Black with single parent she would’ve praised like Rosa Park!”
Why do people have selective hearing? SHE SAID WHOEVER MAKES THE PLAYOFFS IS HER ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!! She said both players are playing at an elite level, and her decision will be based on whichever player makes the playoffs. You guys are so damn hate-filled I don't get it.
why are you guys so triggered. She just gave her opinion..plus she said Reese was winning right now..yall adults need to grow up and get the animosity out of your heart
For sure! The title of this video is what is called "click bait"... That brings more views, as well as comments like these, exposing the title as being deceptive.
Sabrina gave them credit , this is a reach, she clearly understands the value cc brings and is letting it be known, i wish more players would do the same
100% her team is waking up her coach is waking up and the league is waking up to what she brings for the future of the WNBA. TV deals and popularity will make everybody happy. Respect should be given where its deserved and many of these women should have it CC also should now let the league drop the petty nonsense as a whole and grow into a unit as strong as the Fever seem to be doing. Its not just CC her team is clicking the point spread is beautiful even if CC is dominating the points. Shout out to Major defensive performances by some of her team including +22 for Nalyssa Smith. Lol This all coming from somebody that adamantly follows some sports pretty often for many years but always made fun of the WNBA. CC could turn the WNBA into a more traditional basketball then the Clown show the NBA is sometimes.(not always).
@@ExplorationRandomDestination careful with the BEAST talk. Racist subsection of CC fans applaud her calling herself a MONSTER after Olympics snub- while evilly and snakishly denigrating Angel for calling herself a DOG. When they meant the exact same thing. Useless brainless, despicable hypocrites.
It’s weird how I just used to just tune mcnutt out, but now I find her unbearable. The only thing that’s changed is her virtue signaling about the w. Unbearable
😂 Angel is somewhere putting the tre ball in her bag and you trying to start mess. Reporter asked “ How do you find it in you to be such a winner?” Angel “I’m a dog, you can’t teach that.” Sabrina was asked a whole other question. Keep hating 👍🏼
@@KevinGloverpost24 Nice try. Angel could have given her teammates credit like Clark did when she was asked about her triple double. Clark said you have to have teammates who put it in the hoop when you pass to them. Reese is me, me, me....
@@ops-qe4zt that is not true she praises her team every press conference. If asked what is inside of you , the answer is not praise for your teammates. Stop this nonsense.
Another channel showed the lockeroom where CC's teamates showered CC with water and cheers on the triple double, CC's response? "Great job, everybody" Also take note in the presser where CC pointed out that her teamates did a good job scoring on her passes, and what a great game everyon had. .CC is a humble class act. Compare that with AR declaring "I'm a dawg" etc etc, a lot of me, me, me there.
Angel obsession on this video is pathetic. Racist subsection of CC fans applaud her calling herself a MONSTER after Olympics snub- while evilly and snakishly denigrating Angel for calling herself a DOG. When they meant the exact same thing. Useless brainless, despicable hypocrites.
CC called herself a monster. Angel called herself a dog. They meant the exact same thing. The fact that you cannot comprehend this false equivalency and cognitive dissonance that you are suffering to comprehend… exposes your complete lack of intelligence.
If the w has shown us anything this season, women will tear eachother down to a detriment to their own “agenda.” I hope you’re right because the optics surrounding this league have been all cringe this year.
She is amazing and making her teammates play better. Its like watching Bird all over. This is amazing. She can get better. A few turnovers today but she is the one that sparked the comeback. She knows how to get rebounds by being in the right spot at the right time. She may not get a lot of triple doubles because of her height but she is amazing and I predict great things for her in the future. My favorite player of all time currently playing of men and women. About my 10th favorite if you include Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, and a few others.
i agree, she is basically saying with this team you have to be prepared like a championship game. Thats giving respect and says a lot about how much of a threat teams think CC is.
Exactly. That's the same comment Aja made about the Sparks yesterday. When you're at the top, people are going to put forth their best effort to kick your ass. And taking them lightly without respecting their growth will leave you in the L column.
Ionescu didn't say anything "insane" or "wrong". She said that the Fever is hungry, getting better, getting tougher to beat, and they played well enough to be able to beat her team this time. Also, what AB said in the post-game interview with her and Caitlin about the Fever's defensive playing making a huge difference was accurate.
@clifforddotson7550 10 feet from the hoop all game long. Not running a whole offense. Gets her baskets on put backs 90% of the time. Doesn't get the crowds in it. Women's awards in basketball are based off popularity more then stats. Aja Wilson would of won the MVP last season. It's harder to get a double double for a point guard then someone bigger then most the players. Assists require your teammates to catch and make the basket. Not miss two times get both rebounds then finally make the open layup.
What I have noticed about these channels that cover Clark and the WNBA this season is that they try to make everything into a scandal and every video has some bombastic title suggesting animosity that isn't there. Most of the time, these videos are click-bait and nothing else.
But the liberty players clearly looked irritated in the interview. They just don't sound super jealous cause liberty is still a top team while the fever is a bottom feeder.
The only problem I have with what Ionescu said was when she said that the game was like their Super Bowl. On the contrary it’s the other way around everyone plays harder against Caitlin Clark. It’s everyone’s Super Bowl when they play Caitlin Clark because they know fans are watching and because it’s the biggest stage.
Lol, do you want women to look cute or look like men. You can't have both. Well, maybe. I prefer women looking 👀 like women. Fake eyelashes don't hurt anyone. 😂😂😂
Sabrina told the truth and I respect her for being honest. We all knew is was a matter of time before the young Indiana Fever team gelled and began playing championship basketball. Their future looks really bright.
AB is looking at CC when CC sort of downplays the triple double, and laughing in disbelief at CC not taking a LITTLE more credit for it! hahaha If AB had done a triple double she would be CELEBRATING. :)
JON, I think you misinterpreted what Ianscu said. She said it was a "Super Bowl game for us." Meaning overcoming the 3- game trope. She was complimentary to Fever.
Agreed...Finally, somebody is talking about gameplay. You are 100% correct in your comments. This team has the potential to become a powerhouse. I believe they will only get better.
Hypotheticals what about when other teams have make adjustments and don't allow things to happen the same way they did. What about if the other team don't go dry a possession or two. Take the win it's one out of 4.
It's was definitely accurate take. She demonstrated respect and credit to the team growth, which is a correct statement. She May have sounded disappointed but that's part of losing .
I thought Lonescu made honorable comments, she spoke in the heat of a moment loss. She handled the media question of as if the Liberty didn’t play Liberty Basketball? Her reply was excellent! We did play Liberty Basketball! She spoke admiringly of Caitlin and how well they played in their improvement as a team ! Very well spoken.
Caitlin was the first to give us this great rookie triple double! Not Breanna Stewart. Not Candace Parker. Not Bob Grinder. And it sure as heck wasn't Aja "Crybaby" Wilson!!!
Dude, Taurasi won two high school championships, three consecutive college championships, and three WNBA Championships. She's also a six-time Olympian and Gold medalist. You sound stupid.
Nah, you making something out of nothing this time. Ionescu was speaking truth; when you’re the underdog, wins in games like these can make your whole season. I think she was complimentary, not dissing. Keep the good stuff coming 👍🏾
Yes recognition that this Fever team has improved sense the last few games they played them is a complement for sure and everyone can see the improvements and they need more improvement as they go but that’s with every team ! I am Happy to see them play well and they can win more games if they bring their game faces on !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Clickbait nonsense. Sabrina simply spoke the truth. There's so much stupidity and drama around Caitlin, it takes away from the game. Let the girls play and stfu.
I have to agree with many of the comments here. Indiana played great and congrats to CC on the triple double as well as breaking the record of double doubles in assists and points for a rookie. Not only is she a great athlete but she also has a great attitude and exemplifies sportsmanship. And so does Ionescu. She is also an incredible athlete who I think is very respectful and composed and shows the great qualities exceptional professional athletes tend to exhibit both on and off the court which is why people admire them. I didn’t find anything wrong with her interview. I thought her answers were accurate and respectful and she also played one hell of a game. That’s my two cents anyway. Great Game.
Ionescu said it right, they played as Liberty, but, Fever is hungry for a win against them, and they've grown. What is wrong with that? Ionescu recognizes Fever strength and improvements.
Wow! That was harsh! So tired of people getting on the negative bandwagon about the Coach! Are you in the huddles, at practice, 1 on 1s to justify your statement? No!
Where was the bad take ? Did she say anything disrespectful… No Unless people are bowing at the feet of CC, JTL is throwing shots at them. Okay I get that it’s all about clicks, but come on bruh it’s just sounds crazy at this point. However I do believe CC has probably got the ROTY on 🔒 at this point. She’s playing great basketball! 👏🏽
Not really that hard to believe that no other rookie has ever had a triple double if you just analyze those before,CC is a proven "Complete Player" the others were just Said to be complete players; numbers don't lie so please give CC her flowers,although it may be easier to just plant a garden for her... FACTS
Great coaching by the Indiana team. When Clark has a bad shooting game or has lots of turnovers it's the coaches fault. So lets give the coach the credit for making them play well.
there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Sabrina said. And she was absolutely right saying it's difficult to be a team four times. I guess what that's why the NBA playoffs the baseball playoffs are of format. There's so much to have a problem with that goes on with the players and the refs and Caitlin Clark but this is not one of them
Talk about looking for hate when there is none, Ionescu's comments weren't that bad. In fact, the way the reporter framed the question, she was giving the Liberty an out (i.e., The Fever won b/c they weren't able to play "Liberty basketball") Ionescu didn't make excuses. Despite the term "Super Bowl" (which will trigger irrational CC fangirls), Ionescu's matter-of-fact response was largely complimentary of the Fever. Anyone who gets genuinely triggered is more emotional than rational.
I mean you shouldn't be triggered but anyone who claims that comment isn't a back handed insult doesn't know much about sports... That comment in NFL where it originated is used when discussing bottom tier teams that wont even make the playoffs. Obviously Liberty are the best team so far this year but the Fever are currently set to make the playoffs and have been getting much better. Literally saying they lost because "its hard to win 4 against a team" and saying that team won because it was "their super bowl" takes credit away from the fact they just got outplayed. Its basically saying they got lucky to win.
@@masonrieber8674 Consider this hypothetical. In the Liberty locker room, the head coach is trying to hype up her team. She'd warn her players not to overlook an 8 & 13 team, especially one they had embarrassed in their last 3 meetings. She'd warn them that the Fever is still a WNBA team and their players have pride! "They'll be angry! They'll be hungry! They've circled this date on their calendar! This is their Super Bowl! Don't let your guard down. Let's go out there and play Liberty basketball!" [Obviously not intended as an insult.] It can be a term of art intended for rhetorical flourish. And like most such terms, it may not be a perfect analog intended to bear the scrutiny of being parsed down to its root meaning. The first post-game question asked of Christie Sides was prefaced as follows: "OBVIOUSLY, this is probably your biggest win-- most signature win of the season..." And Sides's response, in part, was as follows: "Yeah, first win against the Liberty. First win against the number one team... So proud of the players. They have been working TOWARD THIS MOMENT..." This was a huge game to their team. This was arguably the biggest game of the season. In a way, it could very well have been their Super Bowl. Look. Perhaps Ionescu did use it to toss some shade their way. Only she knows for sure. But even so, is that out of turn? She's talking about a 9 & 13 team. Is she supposed to say, "this was their Super Bowl... until they face us again in the WNBA finals"? If people get mad at her for that, they should go after the Vegas odds makers for daring to make the Fever +10,000 dogs to win the championship. "How dare you imply they won't make the finals!"
I don't think what Sabrina Ionescu said anything wrong. She is a great players as well and her team just lost the game so you have to understand they don't lose too many games since they are the number 1 team in the league right now. They made mistake just like the Fever. Fever just wanted to win and beat the number 1 team and Caitlyn Clark did amazing. Played well even if she did not make points in a full quarter. It shows great teamwork and the defense was great even with some mistakes. This is a game to rewatch and learn from for the Fever. They are improving every game. The Fever did amazing and Good job.
I thought the comments made by the NY player, were very gracious. Not seeing the problem here. This is nothing compared to the out-right racism shown by some of the Black players on other teams.
It's interesting watching how some people are obviously growing as human beings during this WNBA season, and others just can't or don't want to grow or let go of their bigotry and put down their own racial animus. When you point the finger at others, three fingers are pointing back at you.
She made great ajust.ents when they were down with 3 minutes to go, don't listen to others make your own opinions, it's obvious you have never played before
Give her some grace. How good of a coach she is or is not can not be fairly and fully evaluated at this time and point in the season, and the Fever are getting better with every game. She might surprise you and end up being Coach of the Year.
MVP not! Many veterans have way better stats and Wilson is the bomb this year! Ionescu and Collier top notch too! Give it couple more years for that! Like 10 others are above her in performance stats!
@@Juke582 more like next year. She had no offseason for rest and you could CLEARLY see the disconnect in the team the first part of the season. They couldn't handle her passes, they didn't know what to expect from her and Boston / Mitchell were starting slow as far as hitting shots. She could have a legit shot at MVP next year if she has a good offseason with the team. Its a year to year award after all.
Caitlan Clark led her team back to a tie game by passing it to Mitchell for the assist with 2 minutes left, and Michelle and Boston drove it home for the win. They know it's a whole team effort.
He’s either going to delete your comment or report you for this comment.. But, CC fans called Angel Reese a dog and said if CC was dark Black woman with a single parent she’ll be praised like Rosa Park!!
