Caitlin Clark Passing Praised By Aliyah Boston! 

Loved this interview. When Aliyah interrupted CC, it just made me smile. The reporter was quick to point out CC’s mistakes and I just love how AB jumped in and defended her like that. It’s like you said, the chemistry on and off the court is really starting to shine through in their games. I’m super excited to see this team grow as the season goes on.

Boston is absolutely correct. Teams that play fast and aggressive tend to have higher turnovers and that doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. Bad turnovers, traveling, offensive fouls, etc result in empty possessions. Some turnovers occur when trying to create opportunities, these are a result of aggressive play and will occur when teams play with pace. Good to see the Fever playing well. This only helps the game.

Boston jumping in to defend clark against the dead horse that is the turnover narrative is a really positive sign for team chemistry.

She’s a little bit of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird! Very fun to watch! Go Go Go CC!

I’m super excited to see these guys coming together as a team! I love that they have a lightness about them after some wins. I love that there wasn’t anything to distract from the actual game. I love seeing Boston defend CC and seeing Mitchell be more team oriented and happy. It’s cool for them and anxiety reducing for fans. Throughout this whole wild stretch and all the expectation & early judgements, which many of us have expressed, the sane thing is to remember that they’ve played less than 20 games together. Who does something 20 X and masters it, much less when that thing being done relies on others. I’m looking forward to Friday. Praying for a Fever Win!

It's so cool seeing them become a gelled team 🎉🎉🎉

It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that a week ago I was ready to give up on this team. I’m so happy I was wrong! I’m glad they are finding their groove and that CC seems to integrate well. For a minute there it looked like her team and coach were against her as well. This team became really enjoyable to watch! An exciting season! Who knew 😂😅

Thank you Aliyah!! Well said

What a great take on the Fever. I really appreciate you giving props to AB, KM, and NS. While CC is what brought me to the WNBA 2 weeks ago, never watched a single game before, I enjoy the Fever as a team. Sure they have flaws and were not very good early on but they are super young and started out very awkward, due in large part to their horrendous schedule. To watch them grow as a team has been really fun. And while I agree that CC is currently a top 10 player in the league, she can't do it on her own and I wish more people would recognize that. The more consistent her team gets, the better she will become. It is already starting to show.

Anyone else notice that since Clark told the reporters that the next question was for Mitchell, that the questions are much more balanced across the team? Another case where she said very little but spoke volumes.

I've watch some video from Caitlin Clark's perspective. Her passing is like an NFL quarterback. She is passing the ball to where she believes her teammates will be in stride. This team is coming together.

Boston is in shape now. Her weight and strength have become a force to be reckoned with. She was sluggish in beginning but no more. She is the Rookie of the Year 2023 we expected when the season started. Good job and fun to watch.

Those comments by Boston about the passing remind me of comments about her passing made by her college teammates.

Can’t wait for the All Stars to kick butt when Caitlin plays the Olympic Team! Going to be epic!

The new Jordan and pippen , the new gasol and Bryant. They gonna win wnba finals in 3 years . The beginning of a dynasty

Went back and watched CC best passes last year at Iowa. CC has shelved 60% of her passing to fit this team. The 40+ feet passes are gone. Her and Fagbenle did have some of those. The transition game is mostly a secondary break game. CC typically has slow the ball down to allow her teammates to catch up. Not being critical it is what it is. I am really disappointed by not incorporating Celeste Taylor in this team. I also went back and looked at Celeste at Ohio State last year. She is the best defender on this team. She is the second best dribbler/ball handler on this team. She is a better shot blocker than CC is. She is the second best passer on this team. She is as fast at Kelsey and a better all around player. She is fantastic on the break and can catch the ball. She is a better version of Kate Martin and better 3 point shooter. I am surprised CC has not pulled her aside at practice and worked with her. Or at least constantly talking to Sides about her. Big L. Not saying she should start. Saying she should be in the rotation. Robin look at her highlights at OSU. You will see the most athletic person on this team. Note: CC is a athlete but not athletic. Larry Bird was not athletic.

Aliyah has respected CC since last year if not longer, they did a video together, it's all about the rest trusting her.. except wheeler and wallace, the rest are starting to build something. For some reason both wheeler and wallace makes cc stand in the corner

Love CC she is doing alot of great things for the WNBA

Coach Sides needs to take notes from other legendary coaches you never make it about yourself whether you Win or Lose you always make it about your Team 🔥👋😎

That season opening schedule was pure torture...for players and fans. By the time they played the Liberty on the 11th game they were so depleted it was like leading a lamb to slaughter. But sticking together through that kind of adversity builds character. It's really fun to watch this team begin to put their pieces together. Still a work in progress, but with Caitlin at the center of it all, we've got some moments of pure magic ahead of us. Fun stuff!!

NBA level passes are no joke to catch when you're not use to it... CC the only current WNBA player throwing those type of passes in that league..

Being left off the Olympic team was a gift. Paying dues as she becomes dominant.

I do not know how it led to AB and CC working well together. I am happy for them; I look forward to seeing how it improves. Thanks for today’s presentation.

Precisely why i dont even trip over turnovers...If she thinks she has the pass shes going to go for it. Things go awry. Oh well..more often than not it works out.

It's nice to see everyone stepping up because now teams know you can't double team and blitz Clark all game because that opens up other players who can score.

Look at CC stats compared to Taurasi, Plum and Loyd. She is better than those 3 Olympic team guards. They only beat her in pts but they take more shots. CC has more rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. And eFG and TS. Add in she was the greatest college player and it’s a crime they kept her off the team.

Straight on. I believe at the beginning Caitlin was feeling pressed to score, even thou she was being defended by two or three players in most games, who can score efficiently that way, nobody can. What the coach has done is perhaps ask Caitlin, only shoot when you feel comfortably, if not pass to someone else. So now the team has found their rhythm. The only think they need now is that whenever they play someone like the SUNs which is a very defensive team equal by nobody else, they need to slow down and pass the ball more. Thats how you defeat a very defensive team, by making them work even more.

You nuts Mitchell & Clark back court that’s crazy

I am so enjoying this team, and I love their spirit, too! Granted, I tuned in entirely due to Clark, but I so appreciate Boston and the others now! This is so fun . . . and no one's a jerk on this team either . . . Maybe others find that entertaining, but that whole drama-scene crap just turns me off.

I love that they are working together now. They realize it is not a zero some situation. They all can do well working together.

Looking forward to Temi Fagbenle to get back.She was playing very good,when she got hurt.

Hey 2 people in the 3×3 USA WBB are injured. What does this mean? Will Breanna Stewart and Britney Griner go to 3×3 team USA and leave 2 spots open in 5×5 team USA Olympics WBB

Wasn’t impressed at all with Boston earlier on but she’s stepped up lately and is looking much better.

Yes ,Temi can ran with this squad

CC is a very effective PG in Fever's transition and set offense as compared other guards bring down the ball in set offence. Use the BB offensive strenghts of each player on the team it makes it harder for the opposition to defend against multiple offensive threats. Chemistry and familiarization takes time especially involving each team member, not just a connection between 2 players, but everybody on the court. This is good for both defense and offense. Teammates playing as a TEAM in both defense and offense for the WIN.

Mitchell adds an X factor in scoring , I think she’s a good change up for the defense cause she can just make it happen with her speed. ESP on a shortened shot clock

Sides lacks a killer instinct and coaches not to lose. Frequently, the teams goes up 5-7 has momentum and Sides gets off the gas.

And that's how it was done at Iowa too - teamwork..

Let’s get real. These rookies like Clark just get done with a college season and hop right into the WNBA season. None of these rookies are on fresh legs. Also the brutal schedule with no time to gel in practice hurt them. They lost a few close games early on and really could be 8-8. Lots of ups and downs with such a young team and I think they are ahead of schedule considering what they had to deal with early on. I’m already looking forward to seeing this team next year after a season together and a offseason of rest for Clark.

The term you were looking for, regarding Mitchell, is loose cannon on the offense!

There can only be one general on the floor... It seems they are finally realizing CC has the vision of the floor to make things happen.. When they rely on each other, they are a winning team.

Boston loves that Caitlin is always looking to pass to her. We good....

You can finally see some chemistry in this interview. Mitchell's a little sluggish on getting close to Clark, but she's coming along. I think the wnba (plus the Fever), were under the assumption that Clark was going to come in there thinking she was going to take Everything over. I think they're figuring out that she's an unselfish, and actually a pretty humble player! Clark just wants to win! She's not worried about her Own numbers, because she knows that will come with the territory. Still, get rid of Sides. She makes Stupid decisions. She's Bad for that Team. She's Destructive; Toxic. I don't care what anybody says, she doesn't like Clark. It shows. Sides wants to make All the decisions, because "she's the coach". Sides Will hold back that Team, and Clark. Get a New Coach & some player swaps, and you've got a good Team!!

❤CC22 🥰WJ

I feel that the reason why they didn't want to own the Olympic that will get her past winning a championship in college they all had said that she needed to win a championship to be one of the😅 goat of league and in their eyes the gold medal with solidify her being there

As for Sides, the less involvement/influence she has, the better. Let these women play!

CC and Boston have been tight since they first met. Their games perfectly complement each other. When they get in sync over the years, its gonna be very bad for other teams😂

McHale was a bucket getter for Bird

Boston didnt want cc to say boston dropped potential assist and made it look like bad passes from cc instead

AB’s confidence and professionalism should have brought her to the beginning of the season in shape. She entered the season seriously lacking in conditioning so, she can go take a seat with comments. This is the same AB who laughed in CC’s face when CC got hip checked during a game. The game is not won in press conferences but on the court. AB should try defending CC on the court where it matters and practice setting effective screens. AB does not get a pass from me. She is the biggest body on the team, she needs to continue to her job! Mitchell’s body language sucks during press conferences. How about she sit up and look interested

Super competitive people always know exactly what happened. 4 in a row. Not 3.

finally talking -BALL-only gonna better !!!

another Olympic 3x3 player, Howard, a guard, is injured. They may have to replace two of the four.

Mitchell is a player who doesn’t look to pass to anyone so she got hot tonight but seems to disappear the second half . I’d trade her for Kate Martin now !

First, good for the Fever after that crazy schedule with top teams. They've taken advantage of the not-so-good teams that they've had, but they haven't played Phoenix or the Lynx yet either. They beat a decent Dream squad where Tina Charles only played like 10 minutes and looked lethargic. I'm guessing she was under the weather and appears back to normal. If they go 0-4 over their next 4 games everyone is going to wonder what happened. Playing good teams is what happened. They have the Dream again I think and then Chicago before heading into rougher waters again. They have to do it against a good team before I become a believer. You know, kind of what we expect from any team regardless of the sport.

ABC2 🥰🏀

Honestly, I have to appologize to Sides. I thought she was just incompetent and awful--but it's starting to come together. I can see the vision. It's a lot to balance with Clark, Boston, and Mitchell--but when it clicks they look really good. This could be a playoff team which would be a helluva achievement. I agree with what you say that they are kind of developing a big three. Mitchell, Boston, and Clark are all starting to lock in at 14-20 points a game. And defensively they are looking worlds better. I still think Hull needs to play more. Smith is a great x-factor. It's starting to look...kinda good.

CC’s an amazing play maker though Mitchell is still a ball hog.

Couldn’t disagree with you more. Caitlin didn’t look happy throughout this. What you can see is Caitlin ALWAYS sitting alone and whichever black players always huddled together. Mitchell is never t clicking with Clark. Are you looking at the same bidy language and their positions they are always sitting? No I have watched Cautlin being from IA. Go back and look at her after game interviews and her bidy language says it all. Your off.

I am one view away from being a former follower of your site. Your mercurial swings in advocacy are dizzying and lack context for your content. Any improvement in the team’s performance is in spite of the coach and totally dependent on Caitlin’s leadership. If she could have control of Wheeler and Wallace then you would see a meteoric increase in this team’s performance . Having a ball hog accomplishes nothing if they refuse to pass the ball to her teammates, they run around using up the time clock before they take the lowest percentage shots or passes the ball because there is zero time on the clock.

Robin their playing the weaker teams

Mitchell is not an assett😊
