22 min, 12 pts, and 7 yes 7 rebs off the bench for the rookie! I love Kate’s journey! So very well deserved! I also loved how Aja had a big sis smile when Kate was asked her first question. ❤️
A'ja showing why she's the best in the league! Also Ms. Martin outscoring Caitlin was a nice surprise. She was such a good draft pick. Becky and co's ability to notice talent other people overlook is what makes The Aces so great.
The coach and her trying to use Kate Martin as a pawn after that racist rant that she went on she's only good because she's white about Caitlin Clark so they put Kate Martin out there to try to combat that she said what she said how to try to use Kate to watch that
Caitlin never has rhythm way her coach pushes her to shooting guard 3-5 times she never touches the balll 4 in assists in the league for rookie turnovers way down defense great improvement 1 steal 1 block a game had double look on those stats lol. But Coach fevers man she wants wheeler meaning point and the other girl great scorer needs be shooting guard. Man Sides how you ever be Head Coach who owes her the FAVOR ?
The ACES FOR THE WIN AND TOTAL SHUT DOWN! The Aces have won two WNBA championships 2022 and 2023 and A’ja Wilson is a 2 times WNBA MVP. REAL WNBA FANS know the REAL DEAL! THIS IS THE W!
Great chemistry between coach and players. Hammon is one of the best coaches, A'ja is an MVP, and the Aces' culture is top notch. Kate was lucky to land there and she's a great fit. Hard worker, good BBall IQ, humble. Go Aces!
A'ja was on an absolute HEATER tonight!! 🔥🔥🔥 and Kate '$$$' Martin just keeps showing everybody why she was easily one of the best draft pick ups of 2024!! I love what Coach Hammon said about her try hard factor because it really shows on the court. You can tell that she is a quick learner and is in the best position to keep learning how to become even greater from Alysha Clark. Let's go ACES!!!
Wait but I thought A’ja was so racist? I thought she was jealous and didn’t want to see the Iowa girls succeed? Yet K Mart says she’s a great mentor, accepting, of high character and great leadership. The propaganda machine is glitching!
All that idiot media is wrong! All the rookies are mentored great and doing well fitting in! Nothing wrong with Clark either! Wilson is top notch impossible to stop with her perfect jump shot! Maybe a little arrogant though! 😖
Caitlin got all the praise at IOWA but those of us who know basketball, know what a great player Kate Martin is. There’s no CC without Kate Martin. They built Iowa together.
@@amontoya7475 Don’t Forget, Clark Is On One Of The 3 Worst Teams In The WNBA. That’s How Drafts Go, She Has A lot Of Work To Put In. Martin Is Having A Lot Easier Transition, Better Team and Way Better Players To Learn From.
Caitlin got Screwed going to a horrible team with no hope or future. Kate which I like but isn't really that good hit gold. I bet deep down inside Caitlin is jealous and despises her Lol
Thank You A’ja for being SO GREAT in EVERY WAY. Keep BLOCKING OUT The Noise and a FOOL. GOD got you ALL THE WAY. I’m watching because of you. You know The Sign S•I•K•E 🙏🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
I was cheering for Clark and the Fever for the upset but I witnessed some great players on the Aces. Kate having a wow rookie season. Ngl my eyes got a little wet hearing coach talk about her. I saw LV beat the Sparks too, Aces have tremendous energy and skills and they just push it down the floor like crazy. Respect to the 2x defending champs.
So many people saying the Aces have embraced the rookie like other teams havent embraced their rookies ? Basketball is a team sport, since when has a rookie not been embraced? Kate has been excellent since Iowa, she didnt get enough shine because she wasnt shootinf 40 three point shots a night. Give this girl her own credit. Shes always been a great humble player
I LOVE them!! Love this for Kate. I would be in awe getting to work with A'ja too!! She got to play along side the best baller in college during her time and now she gets to play along side the best WNBA player! Looking forward to seeing Kate and A'ja's relationship grow. They are both very well spoken. Becky Hammon is clearly on top of her game and my fav coach in the WNBA! She seems very likable and caring, but extremely respectable.
Yeah Clark made the wnba watchable.. don't compare her to clark.. coz clark is on the weaknest team for 2 straight season reason for them to get the number 1 pick. martin is on a champion team. So you can't compare. clark gets doubled and tripled team while martin just need to shot free.
@@worldeventsforyou977Plus this was the Fever’s 7th game in 11 days so had to be tired & probably suffered a let-down from last night’s emotional win over the Sparks.
The WNBA riding the Fever for the revenue. Can't be mad at them. Like many say Fever selling tickets right now so for a profit sense that's what will happen. There truly is a price for greatness and the limelight. But one good thing is they are getting extended training camp aka OJT (on job training) with this schedule. Oh... great game Aces and great interview! @@shf4592
Love Kate Martin getting playing time and the spotlight she finally deserves for her own incredible skills and spirit! Love her team’s support for her!
In the W, bigs have to have a mid-range jumper and that's what makes A'ja Wilson the player she is. And don't forget the Aces also drafted 2x ACC Player of the Year 6'6" Liz Kitley who's mid-range game is deadly. She's sitting out this season because of injury. Which is the only reason she didn't go top 5. An absolute steal for the Aces.
I watch LV games because of Kate Martin. The coach hit it right on the head she is a basket ball player. She will be one of the reasons why LV wins another championship this season.
Interesting , being that the best player in the league is on the same team 🤔 . The LV will win 🏆 and Kate can be a role player but not even close to "one of the reasons" they win 😉 ! I like Kate , but the exaggerating is getting out of hand !! Do better
@@TommyTheVideoMaker that's true, but sometimes a team needs new energy to keep winning championships. Kate Martin is a player, that you don't hear any negative energy about. The coaches and teammates only say good things about her. When she checks in the game, she gets cheers from the crowd. Becky Hammond is a championship coach and she knows what she needs to keep winning championships.
I do not pretend to know coaching. I can see where a team is and where they need to go. I liked what I saw tonight. Now I want to see the Coach. This coach can take a racehorse all the way to a Champion.
Becky got the sleeper slick pick with Kate Martin. Martin is a gamer, used to sold out arenas, media coverage, championship games and playing w/a superstar. Being on the Aces doesnt really phase her, like it does the other Aces draft pick, dyasha fair, who looks starstruck and lost a lot. wonder if Hammon was surprised Martin was still available so late in the draft. Funny that no other teams wanted her.
Spot on! Becky is as smart as they come, and leading a dynasty team. I am surprised she is not coaching the Olympic team. But then again, the future Hall of Famer has never gotten the recognition she deserves- ever since her college days at U of Colorado.
Yeah, ACES beat an exhausted team who has been playing back to back games with little to no rest. Kate Martin, love you, you look great. In fact the ACES looked very well rested. Easy win, no glory.
There's no need to be such a debby downer!!! Your making an excuse, because it's not going to get any easier for them!!! When you are playing against the Aces, you better bring your A game. This is a always, because that's what they're going to do!!!!
BS! Tell me how many games Iowa won. And how many B10 championships. And how many Final Fours. When you have those numbers come back and make your stupid statements.
The Fever played back to back games, while the Aces had a 3-day rest before. Considering this fact plus the ineptness of the Fever coach, Christie Sides, the outcome of the match is not to be proud of.
I see you Kate, with those hands underneath the table, so folks don’t see you picking at your nails..good that you remember your Iowa teammate, Gabby looking at you at during a post game presser onetime and shook her head at you, as to say don’t play with your nails.
Remember the Jordan rules? The Aces enacted the Clark rules. Double teaming her at half court all night. I saw multiple wide open threes tonight. None for Clark. Barkley and Lebron are right.
@@rolandmarkland6844 My point is no one in the league is face guarded like Clark. All season long. They are out to get her. Ultimately, I blame the Indiana coach for not creating a system that is setting Clark up to shoot more and get better looks.
@copterman, that’s the type defense that’s played by top defenders against someone who is considered a great scorer. It’s not specific to Clark. If you have been around the game a while then you should know what I’m talking about. Clark better get use to it. The great scorers figure out a way despite the pressure defense.
People Then: CC is the goat (without playing a single game in the pro league) People Now: The pros won't let CC shoot the ball half court like she did against the rookies in college. They won't let her breathe.😢
Ladies, please exchange pleasantries with Caitlin Clark after the game. We see it in the NBA when veteran players welcome the rookies to the league by giving them hugs and advice. It is awkward to walk off the floor after the game and refusing to acknowledge one of the standout players from the recent WNBA draft
@@rolandmarkland6844 So you’re just one of those idiots that go along with mainstream media! You do realize that Clark and Martin are best friends don’t you?
From what I've seen the hugs usually come before the opening tip off. I haven't seen much of it after towards opposing teams from any of the games I've seen this season. It's saved for their own teammates. No one was snubbing her.
Kinda hard to compete when you have played seven games in 10 days of which five are on the road, including back to back nights against a team who has played four games all at home. The WNBA deliberately scheduled Indiana 7 games in ten days (5 on the road) to milk Caitln's star power for all they could. Irrespective of when they made the schedule they knew she was going to be in Indy. Disgusting. LV four games all at home with plenty of rest and practice ? Should have won by 30+
the only reason she is being talked to is because she stuffed her friend and did like the whole league is trying to do by making sure CC does not have a good game , show me where any other guard in the WNBA gets the full court press like everyone gives CC
So, in other words, you know zero about basketball ! Both of these Iowa girls are fantastic players, but one went to a back-to-back world championship team, and one went to a back-to-back last place losing team!🤷♂️
Sorry if I think these older ladies are putting this young talented player in a spot to denegrate everything she's had success with in her life. What is Becky saying about coaching? Is she implying Lisa Bluder catered to Caitlin and wouldn't let Kate shine? hmmmm dont get it twisted. and boy are they hung up on that best player in the world noise, when they're the ones making it. Sorry A'ja, you didn't set the all-time scoring record for NCAA D1. The girl's earned her rewards, funny, she hasn't shown everybody anything but love. But I've heard all of these folks, mostly of a certain hue, comparing her to players that didn't impact her team as much as Clark did. Get over it. Is Kate a great player? Hell yes, she is, and you all wrote her and her teammates off as some second-class players because they were at Iowa. KIss my ass, you know, Im spittin truth. Iowa fans, aka Clark fans, aka Kate fans, have known this girl was special. So tell me, what are all of A'ja's WNBA accomplishments? A lot I know, so let's compare her to a 22 year old and talk about how the 22 year old doesn't have those same accomplishments. Why has that 22 year old that just finished her college career 2 weeks before training camp played 7 games to your 4? Did you play last night? Right. I'm with you, GREAT JOB KATE!! But ladies, I get it, you're the league champs. Seems like ya got an easy schedule for champions. Schedulers must've been afraid of Boston, the Champs vs the Chumps. The Champ's 4th game is the Chump's 7th game the day after the 6th. I'd hope that schedule was made before the draft. I hope it clicks and the Fever make it to the playoffs, and seriously, I think Brink and Jackson might get to ya later in the year as well. This rookie class seems a bit different. So yeah ladies, I think Caitlin Clark is ushering in a new thing, but she didn't come alone. And some were already here.
You could’ve said this same shit in four sentences. They’re not going to kiss kate and Caitlin’s asses. Stop imagining hate and welcome to professional basketball
The Fever will be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by next week 😂 and as we get past making excuses for how dismally average Clark has been, we can watch the great teams battle into the depths of the season. So all you Only Caitlin fans you can get ready to leave. The league will be fine from here, thanks .
Says another fool who plays the main street media game! All the crap you hear is from Main Street media and fools like you on here! You’ve never heard one bad word come out of Caitlyn Clark‘s mouth ! You certainly don’t hear the opposing home teams complaining about how Caitlyn fills their arena’s!
Uhhmm they are the Champions , most winningest team so if you have no use for them, then when Kate and CC are not playing, stay ignorant and don’t watch games
Wilson thinks she the best player in the world, and her crap don't stink!!! She is good, but her attitude towards others is uncalled for. You can tell Kate Martin and the coach didn't like some of her answers and attitude towards others!!!
Players are subject to up to three random tests each season and one each offseason. Taurasi tested positive for modafinil while playing overseas in Turkey in 2010, but I think that she was later cleared.
