Was stalking caitlin’s ig posts and found based on likes/comments that natasha cloud’s been a supporter since her freshman year at iowa. No wonder she gave her such a warm hug during the phoenix game
She’s coached her to be less aggressive this whole time but then acts surprised that she does exactly that 😭 maybe give her a little more free rein in general so that she has confidence in herself
Christie Sides on CC’s shots: “I never want her to not be aggressive and take shots. I really thought when she went out in transition after that missed free throw… (down 1, 10 seconds left) she was gonna take it to the rim or pull up… would’ve been a great shot.”
Full clip:
I’m convinced that people who think caitlin stat pads/is selfish when getting defensive rebounds have never watched a game of hers or simply don’t understand what they’re watching. those boards mean she can set up her teammates in transition. If anything, it’s actually unselfish

i’m not gonna hate on the stat padding but I do think that a whole fanbase outright encouraging and supporting it just to keep a streak going is odd and shameless
Caitlin and lexie have been hanging outside of basketball since may but they just never posted about it. I remember when they went to a baseball or softball game with cait’s brother
such a confident beast on the court and wont hesitate to stand up against anyone but then she’s so awkward and shy in events like last night or interacting with new people 😭
Good on sides for benching caitlin at the end of the 3rd quarter. She needed to cool down and rest. Even cc gave credit to sides in the post presser for drawing up a play for her at the beginning of the 4th to start off hot
2x DPOY finalist who didnt even get a chance to show off what she can do and then there’s fuckass kristy wallace who gets to start every game 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Caitlin 10/10 times will pass the ball to the hot hand, heck she’ll pass it even if they’ve been bricking the entire game 😭 it’s sad kelsey couldn’t do it for her yesterday
She’s crediting wallace with mabrey scoring a few points??? 😭 she just wasn’t hitting her shots. If we want to talk about someone keeping mabrey in check, it’s lexie in the last game. Sides is clearly showing her favoritism and blind loyalty.
Like i said, every other team except dallas denies or does not acknowledge her impact when asked about it 😭 no one’s even asking them to roll a red carpet but minimizing it is so disingenuous

The hell are we doing here with the disrespect?
Caitlin, AB, Nalyssa, Kelsey, and LEXIE on that next starting line up. That’s it. you really dont need to overthink this. It’s the most obvious choice right now.
@ChristieSides
So anyone wanna talk about why the hell lexie’s only had a total of 4 3-point attempts in the fever’s last three games??? That’s totally unacceptable. And in their last two games she’s only had 1 attempt each. Sides needs to do something about this quick.
Nah this isn’t funny. I was yelling at my screen during this bc you weren’t able to see her the entire lynx possession cause she was just lying there. You can’t win in the playoffs with this attitude
Nalyssa has repeatedly showed she’s not happy being in the fever and yet everyone else happily blames caitlin for the lack of team chemistry when it’s obvious that team never had chemistry to begin with.
Caitlin Clark haters are something else. They’re either dumb af to not get she was CLEARLY being sarcastic or everything she does just pisses them off.
Satou Sabally: “Obviously, it’s annoying bc there were way too many Caitlin fans in our arena but kudos… I feel like our Dallas fans could have done better, I had mixed feelings seeing all the Caitlin jerseys in our home, but it’s an amazing sign for women’s basketball.”

She gets a rebound and automatically you see her finding her teammates to give them the best possible chance at scoring. It’s why her and her team become a threat in transition.
@GLBSoccer
Idk if you’re aware of this thing on instagram where you open a post and it’ll show you a few people (who you follow) that have liked/commented but here :)
Caitlin Clark is forging a path of her own 🤯
In today's game vs. the Mystics, Caitlin Clark becomes the 1st player in the NBA and WNBA to record 29 PTS, 13 AST, 5 REB, 5 3PM, 5 STL and 3 BLK in a game!
#WelcomeToTheW
People on twitter have got to be the dumbest human beings on earth because what’s with outrage over a sarcastic joke? “She keeps playing the victim” LIKE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT 😭😭😭
that’s the 3rd time the lexie, caitlin, nalyssa, ab, and kelsey lineup closed the 4th quarter and played great together and yet sides refuses to start with that lineup. I will not shut up about this until i see them as starters.
Thing is caitlin’s outfits aren’t bad per se, but they’re not the right fit for her. She needs a stylist who knows how to style her personality and style
At some point Christie Sides has to step in, as a Vet you have to know when you don’t have the hot hand and let your Rookie take you home. She brought the team back into the game, now trust her to finish the job.
Caitlin Clark on if she wished she would have taken more shots late: “I mean, sure, you can wish it. I’m sure there was an opportunity or two for me to probably attempt another shot there at the end, but I trust my teammates… I’m gonna give them the ball every time.”
Full clip:
Wheeler is just such a momentum killer. When caitlin isn’t running point they go slow, then try to play traditional halfcourt offense but it just falls flat. They don’t know what the hell they’re doing
@yasbb_
I honestly cant tell if they’re being serious or not and i still dont fully get how defensive rating works so 😭 but this is their comment and the picture they linked
Erica Wheeler on the Fever always having fun "All we do is have fun with Caitlin Clark who never takes anything serious. I tell people all the time she's really a kid at heart...the outside world was really trying to get inside this building we just didn't let it."
Ok now i’m actually pissed cause girl wasnt feeling well the entire time but you made her play 39 minutes just to sub her out in the last minute for defense and missing out on one more rebound. And specifically subbed for wallace? Like not even lexie??
Caitlin Clark didn’t come to postgame media because she wasn’t feeling well, and Christie Sides said she wasn’t feeling well the whole game.
Additionally, why Clark subbed out in the final minute:
Caitlin Clark asked about Sunday being a rivalry game vs Chicago:
"I'm pretty sure the only people that view this as a rivalry is all of you (media). For us, it's just a game of basketball. That's what it is. If it's gonna help move the game forward, absolutely..."
Well said.
Caitlin Clark: “Honestly, I thought we played really good in the fourth. My turnover in transition is what I felt like really kinda ended the momentum for us… made a really bad read.”
Full:
Mind you, caitlin passes the ball to wallace every time she’s open and then she proceeds to miss most of the time. But whenever wallace has the ball and cc does everything to get open, wallace refuses to even look her way. CC just expects to do the same for her.
To all the ppl that argue how she's a great teammate...
She does this constantly when her teammates shoot.
Keep in mind, this shot went in.
She's an entitled little brat and an even worse teammate.
anyway i just want to say that I love caitlin so much. She’s made basketball so fun and exciting to watch for me and for a whole lot of people, especially women. I’m glad i get the chance to see her play in real time. She’s truly generational.
