Kelsey is a beast and shes consistent,CC and Aliyah also always step up but when Lexie Hull gets going too,thats when they’re unstoppable because now its 4 Players on 🔥 instead of 3 which is really hard to Guard
Now that Kelsey's sharing the ball with her teammates when it's better for the team, I don't mind Sides giving her kudos. As long as she shoots when that's the best option and passes to whoever is the best option if her shooting isn't the best option, including passing to CAITLIN.
@independentaquaman7424 Respectfully, your first sentence is still to be seen. Monday, she didn't pass at all. Tonight was better. That has to be consistently. I agree with everything else you said!
Kelsey has been a top 10 scorer in the W every year the last 5 years. She's 4th all time in NCAA scoring. Underrated is an understatement. Some say she ball hogs etc... Kelsey is the Fever's best pure scorer period AND she is clutch.
True but they HAVE to play better defense. They give up way too many easy buckets. Some of the issues are so fixable. Just get BACK on D. Sprint back. They are lazy in that department.
Sides is a terrible coach. This is only the SECOND TIME SIDES STARTED LEXIE ALL SEASON ! CC made this a GREAT TEAM ie. CC - KM - AB - LH - AS today. This could have been playing out since beginning in the season. Get an NBA coach. It’s easy to speak after the fact to give a sense of humility. Listen to Sides speak after the losses because her starting five, and rotation etc. I hope she can prove me wrong. There is NO EXCUSE if the Fever are not in the playoffs . Sides still doesn’t understand the idea of letting CC PUSH THE BALL ! Sides appears to tell the team to slow down, not speed up ! With Kels being the fastest runner, and is totally aware of where CC is going to drop her the ball for a dime . Linn Dunn should be spelled “ Done “ . I don’t disagree with her on everything , but a fast break,starters,and rotation appear to not be in her toolbox. The FEVER is in my opinion are playing as a team as good as any team in the league if not better . Kudos Lexie,Kels,AB,CC great game. Whatever amount of lucre Kels is asking for to stay in Indiana PAY HER !
@@jacquescousteau217 the only thing I’ll add is that to also give TF some credit too, and we have no idea what we have in Grace Berger…another sign of terrible coaching.
Like many people, I started following the Fever because of Caitlin and I’ve really enjoyed watching her play. But she’s exposed me to my new favorite players Ms. Boston and Ms. Mitchell. I’m a 70:year old man and love watching these women play. Great athletes.
I was like that with KM all the way until almost the Olympics. That is when CC started to play and Boston stopped missing form 1 feet. I also only been watching since the March madness but I also discovered other player in teams that I loved while Fever was ... struggling.
Kelsey Mitchell's consistency and production is breathtakingly amazing. June - 18.1 ppg 62.5% TS July - 19 ppg 56.8% TS August - 25.6 ppg 63.3% TS !! Love you Kelsey❤
I started out a Caitlin Clark fan, now I’m a FEVER fan and know all the girls names and how they play… Exciting to see all the girls play great, and get the Win!!! CC22… My favorite basketball player all time, men or women!!!! To all the girls 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love when these interviews are fun for the players. Great game ladies. Every person on this team work hard and together for this win. Wasn’t a pretty win but they fought hard. Go Indiana Fever 🏀🏀🏀
Because they're all likeable but the other teams players are terrible horrible attitude,extremely emotional,walking out of the press conferences,not only are they horrible players but their horrible people out of the 27 years of the crappy wnba CC and some of her teammates are the most nicest likeable athletes no attitude,no looking miserable and none of them has ever cursed and walked out of the press conference the fever and CC are real professionals
I know can't help laughing at CC sucking the water out of the bottle like it's a juicebox .... stay 10 CC as long as you can ! .... not on the court mind you !
What a difference the Fever players are in the press conference as compared to some of the other teams. Classy, professional, no whining, praising the other team. Really a very mature group, which is a reflection of Coach Sides and the staff. And CC, OMGoodness she talks like a coach.
Great team win, great game for Lexie, Kelsey's on fire, AB shut down the Sun offense over and over again, Caitlin's putting up solid numbers and still doesn't look happy with her play ... if this is how the Fever look in the playoffs, they're going to be a handful for whoever draws them in the first round.
@@shf4592 Smith is a liability more than an asset. She can do a fancy spin move, look tough, and grab some rebounds, but she's too inconsistent with her shots and doesn't have quick hands. Fagbenle should definitely be starting in her place.
Lexi shouldn't have had to wait for the call. She should have been the starter since game 1. They cut out the funniest part of this post game interview
KL can shoot the ball well ... not sure about energy. Both are not great at defense. KL let them go by, Hull just ends up on her ass and they get one more. New rule. Hull is on her ass .... she gets a free throw !
Christie is becoming a great leader when she genuinely credits every team member. She's encouraging with her words. Her team is hearing her and feeding off of her positiveness.
I’m so happy to see the media recognizing the importance of the other players in this team. CC is also very happy to see that. This new cohesive attitude from the players is the reason why they are winning. I’m so glad they have found it.
@@DustyTail She didn't have it before this game. Whenever they won it was because she didn't hamstring her players. This game, unlike last game, she had the proper starting lineup.
I'm proud of myself for recognizing Lexie's great value for the team when she was playing short minutes and nobody was talking about her. She's always made key contributions to this team in every game, let alone her selfless attitude.
@@messisituation I disagree. I wasn’t hearing or reading comments here or in the media about Lexie when her role was limited. Now that she’s been scoring, she’s getting the attention of all, but in my opinion she has always played great even when she was playing for a few minutes a game.
So heartwarming to see coach Sides water up talking about the pride she has in her players and their character. Also hilarious to have player maturity be the coach's theme and then see them giggle about saying hands on balls 😂😂😂 love this team
A very good team win. Hull had a great game. She & Fagbenle put on a defensive clinic. This game is more proof that Hull & Fagbenle should be in the starting and closing lineups alongside Clark, Mitchell, & Boston.
It's nice to see Kelsey get to talk instead of looking down reading due to lack of no questions. Kelsey, we all hope you stay. Kelsey is super fast with her hands and legs.
Coach is finally enjoying all the hard work she has put in. If you didn’t think Christie Sides was a good coach, then you don’t understand sports and how long it takes to see improvement. Outstanding job Christie Sides!
Great win Fever. Far from clinical and still getting the W bodes well. Definitely trending in the right direction, and looks like you'll peak at the right time. Keep up the great work, and let's go spoil Barbie night.
Dang, all of you playing your best basketball is a joy to watch. Kelsey Mitchell has been so lethal and consistent. Lexie Hull is becoming a serious threat. Nalyssa continues to show up with the rebounding and hitting double figures. AB had 8 assists this game!! Flirting with a triple double as a center is incredible! Temi with the clutch defense. Erica Wheeler showed up and brought energy when her number was called. Caitlin doing Caitlin things. Congratulations on a fantastic win against a super tough team. Let’s keep this momentum going! What is stopping y’all from being one of the best teams in the league?! 💛❤️💙 Can’t wait to attend my first in person game on Sept 13!!!!
I like how Kelsey takes the lead in answering questions for the group when no player is specifically pointed out. CC is a GREAT delegator and I’m absolutely positive this is exactly how she wants t to go.
This stretch of games has been awesome! Tonight’s game was excellent! So much fun! Loving CC, AB, Mitchell, Hull, Fagbenle, and Dantas! It’s great as a fan to see your team get there!
The fact that all the Teams attention is CC ,gives Fever the opportunity to use their other Players like Kelsey,Lexie and AN offensively. Kelsey is one of the most underrated WNBA players. Fever is dangerous.
I absolutely love these three, as well as AB. This core 4 has an incredible dynamic and they play phenomenally well together. They are all attuned to each other. Such an amazing year for us Fever fans.
Way to go Christie and all the players of the Indiana Fever! What is so scary about this growth is that the team is growing together and you win Championships as a team! Bravo!
WHAT A WIN!! Let’s GO FEVER!!! One game at a time has worked SO well! Take care of business this weekend let’s keep playing each game with the same intensity you brought today!
Shoutout to coach Sides for having the good rotations in during this game. Lexie Hull absolutely needs to remain in the starting 5! NaLyssa Smith gave good effort tonight. Temi Fagbenle was clutch for us defensively in the last quarter. AB might not have had the best scoring game, but she showed up for her team in different ways. Kelsey Mitchell is just a bucket and I'm so happy her and Caitlin have built up their chemistry. She was playing some hero ball before the break, but now she has fully bought into more of a team work mentality and she's making some really good decisions. CC was not afraid of the moment and she took that logo bomb at the end. Even though it did not go in, she needs to keep shooting those, they will start falling. She did give us that layup at the end of the game which sealed it. Great team effort! We are ready for the playoffs and Connecticut would be a pretty good first round matchup. I like our odds #FeverRising
She really is low key funny. And I think people forget she is just 22 lol. When she laughed when Lexi said that I just chuckled. They are just special together
Lyssa gives the Fever a toughness they need. Some people on the Twitter don’t like her because of who she dates, but gotta give her props for getting tough boards, going strong to the hoop and drawing fouls.
She tried to help her girl friend win tonight.... She kept messing up bad... felt intentional.. Yet, D Carrington played her azz off .. Maybe her lady gave her the jitters..
KELSEY MITCHELL 5 YEAR VET, CLARK TRUST HER‼️ WORD IN THE STREETS IS THAT SHE IS WEIGHING HER OPTIONS ‼️ INCREASE HER PAY AND CONTINUE TO LET HER ROCK💯💯💯💯💯💯
Kelsey is a speed merchant who can score! Maybe the quickest player in the league! CC and team are learning to win in tough games. Lots of fun to watch. Temi is sooooo important, as is Lexi. The supporting cast is really stepping up! And coach Christie Sides needs some flowers as well.
This team is very dangerous, they are playing unselfish tough basketball, I won’t single one person out as they are all so complimentary, They seem to feed off each other at a high level, great to see
I'm not a Fever fan but I enjoy watching then play. Line-up of Boston, Clark, Hull, Mitchell, and Smith has become very lethal. This team is still young! They are becoming very scary and fast becoming a problem!
I fkn hated basketball all my life. Literally never played a game. But i love to watch these young ladies come around since CC joined!! aliyah,kelsey,lexie and CC. Its going to be interesting to see who steps up next!! Go fever!!
The three Bigs (AB,TF and NS) seriously need to work on lay ups! They will lose big in playoff if they miss too many easy lay ups. CK should have at least 10 assts per game if they didn't miss easy lay ups. work on that ladies!!
That's on the coaching staff!!! Sides does not emphasize fundamental basketball!!! By this stage of their careers court position, layups, picks and screens should be second nature!
All of them they need to level up there playing like CC did and it's worth it to watch the game. No doubt there going to the playoff after 7yrs... and who knows there going to be champion this season❤❤❤
If you look back CC did the same at lows once they knew they could win against any team they were dangerous.same thing is happening here ever player knows there job and buying into it no selfishness or wanting the ball more crying about playing time but WINS is want they all want ….here they come let’s see how far it carries them Lexi attacking the rim no hesitation is great to see ❤
And if the “Chicago Thugs” - Carter,Teaspoon, and Reese decide to play dirty ball, shut them DOWN ! Carter is a physical threat you must take seriously or she is going to end someone’s career . I’m serious ! Remember Teaspoon is encouraging this type of behavior, and the Brick Layer loves watching it as well.
Putting Kelsey on toughest opponent guard defensively has also been working well. I won't be surprised if Kelsey is matched on Chennedy either. This is of course assuming Chennedy is back and available to play Friday after missing at least one recent game.
Fagbenle has zero points but then refocuses to have the most amazing defense and rebounding ever. I just love her. Once she starts hitting her layups, this team will be a beast.
The funniest part of any post game this season is when Lexie said she just tries to get her hands on as many balls as she can. Their reaction was hilarious.
AND HITTING THE BOARDS ON BOTH ENDS IS ESSENTIAL ..IT WAS AWESOME SEEING THE RECOVERY OF A MISSED SHOT ..BECAUSE WE HAD THE PLAYERS THERE TO CONTEST THE BALL
Congratulations on this win! Great move on putting Lexie Hull in the starting lineup! Lexie is always moving and knows how to get to the right spot! She has very high IQ! She is a very confident player! Katie Lue is a very good player as well! But the chemistry is better with the starters with Lexie Hull! Something about her energy as well! Indiana has arrived!
I read alot of comments saying Kelsey dont pass but i say thats not her job her job is to GET BUCKETS! And BUCKETS she get! She is fast af Kelsey-you later to the one guarding her!💨
Have you read those kind of comments lately? Because Kelsey has changed as she has learned to trust Caitlin more. She realizes she doesn’t have to create everything herself. She is definitely more of a team player now. I didn’t like her at all at first and now I think it is crucial that the Fever keep her on the team! She is a major asset!
KM is right now very effective because she has the ball in less than 10 seconds not like before she was so iso and barely passing and sharing the ball. That's the trust she has now on CC letting her call plays.
@@JoeArtsMedia Because the others kept missing. This just changed right before the O started. Nice to see them working together and on their own as nothing will help Boston making a basket but her. She had no energy early on and CC was only passing not making shots. I was frustrated too like Kelsey. Better time are upon us !
Go girls!!!! Go Mitchell, you are ballin’ baby!!! You deserve more credit for sure! A couple plays, y’all were looking like the glove trotters! Go AB, go Smith and wheelie doing good tonight!!! All were amazing!!! So proud of you girls!!!
Sides is right, they seem to just a be great group of women in character, but also talented players. They do have a joy about them and look like they’re just having fun. A pleasure to see.
