There are a couple of others that should not be left off in a shout out, like Lexi who is now someone they better watch , who knew she could throw so many threes 😂
Caitlin Clark is all class. I've never likes basketball let alone women's basket ball, but I'm a Caitlin Clark and Indiana fan. Indiana is really coming together as a well honed team. Nice work ladies.
While everyone is rightfully talking about Caitlin, Kelsey, etc. I just want to recognize DAMIRIS DANTAS. And if you look closely, Fever has been improved significantly after DANTAS came in. When she is on the floor, Fever can't really be bullied physically, and her shotmaking efficiency, I'm not even kidding, is up there with the best players in the league. I didn't like the trade at first logically from a casual's point of view because I was rooting for Celeste Taylor and wanted Celeste to succeed and didn't know who DANTAS was, but SHE is really "HER," as the kids say. She is not just a role player, that is a difference-maker right there. So I just want everybody to appreciate that too.
11:00 Kelsey, you graciously spoke about the difficult early years when you were drafted by the Fever. You endured a rebuilding time as Catchings retired as the franchise player, went thru coaching changes, GM changes, player changes, etc. For all that you’ve endured from years of drastic Fever rebuilding, I hope you get a chip with this team sooner than later! 🏆 15:32 “You guys pray for me. PRAY for me.” 🙏 😂 I see CC is your little hoop sister now. 😂
Sides is one lucky rookie coach ,,, has the hottest ticket with Clark,,, team is on fire and it’s working out !!! Sells Out arenas , Money coming in!!!!
Kind of obvious Christie, nor the Fever knew what to expect at the start. Caitlin plays at a different level. The team had to learn her pace of her game. I just love what I am seeing. They certainly gel!
Happy for Christie….she took a lot of heat early in the season…she weathered all the pressure and criticism and is coaching a cohesive team. She deserves credit 🎉
@@tonyafranklin621 The thing that she did well was emphasized defense from day one …. And now you can see the fruits of that attention they’re playing pretty good D
CC talking about how difficult they are to guard was cool. “ You can’t scout that. You don’t know what we’re gonna do. We don’t know what we’re gonna do. It just happens”
You’re tripping look at her salary, she is the ONLY vet on that team 5+ and her salary is still low compared to non Olympic vets, money came in to the W and her salary has yet to increase, offers are coming out the ass for Kels with higher pay she is a Vet, unless Lin Dunn does more she should leave
Coach, Timi needs more minutes! +29 in 18 minutes! She was also on the floor against the Sun when they.went scoreless in the last 3 minutes! TIMI is an ELITE defender! GET HER ON THE COURT! If you want to Win a Championship, YOU NEED TIMI! Her offense will come, PLAY HER!!😱🍀💚
Caitlin Clark is the greatest Tomboy to play the game. ❤ Currently sixth place overall as a team. Can't wait for the playoffs. Let's f****** go!!!!😊🎉🎉❤
Clark was on fire. And Hull starting has given the Fever more intensity on both ends of the floor. Fagbenle also brings the grit and toughness in the frontcourt. Hopefully the Fever will clinch a playoff spot soon.
Love seeing the smiles out of Kelsey, she is on fire and deserves every good thing coming her way. This team is amazing and their growth is exponential! Congrats on an amazing game out of all the players. CC is one in a million and watching that game highlighting her shots, her passing ability and the joy she brings to this game is out of this world! What a team effort!!
These two are perfect for each other , so much fun to watch and their post game interviews they share the same goals and have alot of respect for each other . I’m happy to see women’s basketball is taking a big leap forward in getting people to watch it’s well deserved they truly play team ball better than the men most of the time
CC, Kelsey, AB, Lexi, and Temi are playing beautifully together. Bravo to Sides! She’s done an incredible job building up the team dynamic. Fever is on FIRE 🔥 and I am loving it.
It’s been refreshing to see the Fever’s chemistry/bond evolve on and off the court. Sides and staff are fostering a positive culture, and the dubs are stacking up because of it.
The Fever been had at it’s just that at the beginning the players were kinda rebellious towards Caitlin except Katie and Lexi but after the others saw how rest of the good players fooled with Caitlin during the all star break they would of been crazy to continue it
@@KathyPickelSides let her team win? Interesting take… thank goodness she “let” CC drop 31. I’ve watched all season and have seen the dynamic change from blatant frustration and doubt to a team that’s united, winning, and having fun- especially after the break. It’s obvious to any fan who is paying attention.
Thank you Sides. It's good to see you've stopped running, screaming, so much up and down the sideline. I was a good player in my day. My biggest distraction was my Coach yelling, screaming, running the sidelines..The players will probably never tell you.. but sometimes less is more, calm coaching is the secret.. It's hard to focus when your coach is out running you down the court all the while screaming.. Remember Phil Jackson? Zen baby, not banshee crazy.. 🤩🥰
Do not separate these two ladies! They are the Dynamic Duo! Caitlin is 100% ROTY1! Both are on my MVP list. Two best basketball players anyone has seen in the league!
I figure I'll get crushed for this comment, but I think Coach Sides is doing a great job, with a very young team developing the chemistry and instilling her O. She has had a learning curve just like the players and appears to be growing and by extension her team is growing.
I am a newcomer to Women's BB and I am learning a lot. I felt a deeper appreciation for the skill of my Fever team today. There was an intensity of the battles underneath I had not felt before. Not just the occasional stand off but continuous war with the "tall ones". You guys played them into the ground. Destroyed their confidence and pillaged their dreams. You all just really BEAT them. I love it. Go FEVER
Kudos to sides, she treats every player in this team with respect, she trains them put confidence in them, it's amazing to watch specially after you see she got hated on so much for not letting cc play more and everything turns out she had a better mind set. Look where fever is today! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
HULL, TIMI and Boston give you an IRON CURTIN on Defense! TIMI was +29 in 18 minutes! If Timi was going Offensively it would have been 40 points! PLAY HER!! 😱🍀💚
Another great team win! Iconic for us to get our first 100 point game against the Sky and for Caitlin to get a career high. Everyone put in great effort and it showed! The playoffs are not ready for us! Let's go all the way to the finals 🔥
Didn’t think the Fever would get to 500 this season. Testament to Coach Christie, CC and Kels. Sides was under a lot of heat early, with many calling for her job. Patience has been a virtue. She’s really done an excellent job, figuring out rotations and game planning. Caitlin and Kelsey are like young Steph and Klay. Their chemistry’s lethal right now, and it’s contagious throughout the entire team. I’m not talking title, but this could be a fun playoff ride.
It’s really nice to see a coach that is growing up WITH her team. This has been a phenomenal journey up to this point and I know it’s going to keep getting better!
Yet another game where CC could have had even more assists, but her teammates, all talented pros, couldn't handle all her passes. She is truly a generational tsunami. We are blessed to live at a time where we can see and appreciate her.
Mitchell, Caitlin, and Sexy Lexie lit up the Sky tonight. Smith played a solid 19 minutes, Fagbenle was huge off the bench on defense, Dantes chipped in and Boston neutralized Cardosa in her limited minutes due to some questionable foul calls. Wheeler was great off the bench and it was nice to see Saxton, Berger, and Wallace get in the game. Hopefully Katie Lou is doing better, she was awesome cheering off the bench, but we need her back and shooting threes!
Temi Temi Temi Temi Temi Temi Temi Temi Silky smooth,powerful,deep team player a presence you cannot help but be aware of,with deceptively quick reactions.More more more,let her cook.❤🎉
Could the camera person keep both players in the shot at a wider angle? Seeing the reactions to each other and what they are saying is almost as important hearing what they’re actually saying. Plus, it will help the awkward, jarring late cut aways, other player half-in/out shots, and distracting angles. Thanks!
So like did CC really say she launched an airball for fun? Hmmm. Kelsey makes a good point about prayer. But it was "pretty basketball" and so nice to see Caitlin and Kelsey smiling. Pure joy.
Been a lot of calls for Sides to be replaced. IDK. Sometimes a coach has to learn and grow and become great. CC is a generational talent. She is a force multiplier and that includes players and coaches. I mean is Phil Jackson a great coach or did MJ make him great? Did Belicheck become great or did TB12 make him great??
What impress me is no let down after a big win, they came back and put these game away. kept their energy up kept their head in the game and got the job done.GO FEVER 👍😀😀😀😀
Did you notice that Angel stayed in the game well after the Fever starters came out of the game? Angel stayed in the game to pad those stats and get her 10 points. Angel is an outstanding player, please stop feeding her ego. Let her be who she is without padding stats. She is not CC, no one is!
Seriously... Someone ... Anyone.. please ask Sides why she lied about sticking up for her players and getting the technicals herself instead of them!!!! Sides needs to STEP UP and COACH!!!!!! A real coach would have gone ballistic at that no call that got Boston a tech!!! DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!
It was great seeing NaLyssa flex her muscle in this game because she clearly is the muscle of this team. I love watching how strong she is in the lane, both offensively and defensively. I was amazed at how hard she was working against Reese and Cardoso. BIG assignment, and she handled it with intensity and purpose.
While we still have plenty of opportunity for growth and improvement, this team is a juggernaut. I hope it doesn't sound unsportsmanlike to confess how much satisfaction there is in going to someone else's arena, making the other team read your Nikes, AND have more people cheering for you than are cheering for the home team. It has to be demoralizing to take that on your home court.
It’s a different team now than it was in May. I kept telling everyone stop counting the Fever out. They are a new team give them time they will be up there.
I wanted to ask this too haha, I've only ever heard her sound like this, but maybe that's because it's a post game interview and she's been yelling on the court for a long time?
Christie Sides has to be the Coach of the Year!! Based on where they were, and where they are now. If they upset someone in the Playoffs, the coach of the Year debate will be over. She has this team playing incredible. I think that the Fever can WIN IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coach, you cost me over $480 profit margin on a $3 bet. lol I got all my predictions correct on my parlay except I was 1 assist short for Caitlin and 2 three-pointers short for her. [now I know to bet more conservatively for your potential undeserved mercy pullings, lol] *Congrats on win though!* 😏
I like Caitlin’s realization that anyone can be beaten at any time and that all teams are fighting for something and will play you hard every time. Taking nothing for granted is vital as some of the lower ranked teams will still ram the ball up the middle paint and blast you with key 3 pointers. What kicks in most this time of year is instinct basketball where players can read the court and make key instant decisions that can change the momentum of the game, stop shooting opponents, and kill some opponents offensive weapons. THOSE THAT PLAY SMART WHILE STAYING INJURY FREE WILL HAVE THE BEST RUNS IN THE HOME STRETCH. Fever need to position themselves best so they do not have to face the Lynx first round in playoffs.
Coach Sides doing a great job lately. It could be worse we could have Teresa Weatherspoon or Coach Quinn those two ghetto as coaches. Glad we have Christie for now.
every team is very talented . I'm not buying in that the coaching by sides is what has put the team in harmony. there are other factors .. Lisa Bluder has been in Indy often lunch with the fever ownership and a few away games Friday game v conn Sun after the game Lisa was approached by fever asst . and the conversation ended with Bluder saying " okay I will be there ." I think Bluder is advising the fever G.m. Lynn dunn on analysis and suggestions to create chemistry around CC
Fever needs to give Kelsey the money she wants. I didnt have much faith in her at the beginning of the season but Kelsey has proven she can ball and be a team player. Give her a raise right now
