Just give Clark a little time to develop. I figure once she starts to dominate this league -she'll by on the Pacers bench this time next year.

In seeing a little of the game ionescu is supposed to be one of those guards, like plum, that are supposed to be these exciting sharpshooters. As good as they are, I'm sorry to say but it's just not that fun to watch. It's not like soccer or tennis where women's athletes play the same, just a little less speed and power. Wnba players are either Tim Duncan fundamentally surgical like Breanna Stewart or they just don't look very fluid.

And that's why Clark is different. And some of the new wave of ncaaw seem on that path too. For all intents and purposes they move way more like the men's games we are used to.

I hope this is true. Women's basketball is unwatchable for me for the most part.

Jackie Styles was the last women's player who was able to really generate anywhere near this level of excitement, but she wasn't able to maintain it.

She's been quoted by a veteran teammate as being humble and saying/asking, "just help me", while trying to figure something out in practice.

When I first heard this I thought she was just struggling to get up to speed. Every time I watch a piece of a game it makes me think the whole team struggles with figuring out what they're supposed to be doing. At times it doesn't even appear like they've been given a game plan to carry out.

Yeah the headcoach is definitely under a microscope now with the team's profile being raised due to Clark so she's gonna have to figure things out soon for sure. She does have a fair excuse though as they've played two top teams thus far. When they play teams on their level then that will be when the coach can be fully judged. Facing two top five teams has been rough tbh.

Admit it. You didn't watch or follow wnba basketball before. You had no interest

Now Clark is in the league you have interest.

Clark is pulling people in. She's the face of women's bball

Just came here to post in this thread for the first time to admit exactly this. I was genuinely interested in her college career and I have now (somewhat) actively followed her in the WNBA. I honestly love watching her just launch up those arching rainbows from 5 feet behind the line. It’s so fun.

I've always watched the wnba playoffs actually. Now I've started watching regular games too. Sue me :evil: .

UCaitlinBugger

Why would you subject yourself to such torture?

Lol this Clark, Reese, Camilla etc class got me hyped in that last ncca competition and I enjoyed it so much that I'm intrigued to see how the league develops with these players involved. And once Paige and Juju join it should enhance things even further.

LMAO

You're watching because you're rooting for Clark to fail and it couldn't be more obvious.

The game highlight videos are only like 2 minutes long. At this point, it's the only way the product should be consumed.

Keep crying chump :LOL:

This is still a thing?

What could there possibly left to discuss at this point. I came here hoping there would be nudes. I has sad.

Nobody is crying loser, just be honest, because nobody is buying your bullshit lol.

You're a Clark groupie who can't handle anyone critiquing her performances. But TOUGH LUCK!!..I'm gonna tell the truth about her games whether you like it or not buddy :evil:

Imagine thinking there is an audience for your truth bombs about a player on this graph that clearly demonstrates she was in another galaxy than everyone else

Here I’ll paraphrase your post in one sentence:

I’m watching the WNBA because of Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese and Cardosa. I like WINNERS thank you ROFL

SureJan.gif

While I find watching the WNBA for any reason, even Clark - to be pathetic...

Watching it for Angel Reese is a whole 'nother level of sad sad shit.

Imagine a new NFL fan leaping into the pro football world because they're following Caleb Williams from OU to USC to the NFL. I can at least get that.

Reese stans are basically saying Bo Nix is the reason they're finally getting into pro ball.

Boop... LMAO

Absolutely. I have seen enough to recognize that Sides has no idea how to use Clark, to not only get the best out of Clark, but to make the team better.

Like, I know there are a lot of great players in the WNBA. There are players that are just better than Clark right now. But, Clark is being handcuffed and put in shackles, basically, and told to fit her skills into an existing offense, when the offense really needs to be set up around Clark.

I think it's a pride thing, and Sides is also a new head coach after being a long time assistant at all levels of basketball. It is entirely possible that she would lose veteran players buy-in if she made the offense run through a rookie, but that's what I think she should do.

Soooo Clark's nightmare start to her WNBA career continued today as Indiana lost to Connecticut for a second time and she got locked up by Dijonai Carrington again. Damn :popcorn:

She didn't get locked up. it looks like she had a terrific game outside of a few really boneheaded minutes which she'll learn to clean up

She only had 17 points. And was getting cooked by Ty Harris in the fourth. Oh and those FIVE TURNOVERS (one was crucial in the last minutes of the game too) didn't help matters. 26 turnovers in just four games is simply not good enough.

nightmare start? she's trying to cook on a bad team and single-handedly filling arenas. give it a break.

It's summer go outside and get some exercise

Anybody that saw Wemby's growth this year knows how ridiculous it is to judge this early.

She sat out much of the 2nd quarter with injury. She had 7 points and 4 assists in the 4th quarter of a close game. Should have ended the game on back to back game tying assists. She had an inexcusable few minute stretch where she was awful and 2 of her 5 turnovers happened, lost her cool and lost the game.

26 turnovers in four games and one was crucial tonight with a minute to go which killed her team's chances to win. If she is as generational as ya'll think, her team wouldn't be 0-4.

And btw I'm not saying she's a bust. I'm saying she's had a rough start which is simply facts. Her shooting still looks great but the turnovers and her defense are clearly an issue. She was getting cooked In the fourth quarter by Ty Harris. That ain't good.

Wemby wasn't this bad early please stop. He had one rough game and that was pretty much it :D .

What does filling arenas have to do with her performances?

Liberty steam rolled them. They got the number one pick for good reason.

You're an undeniable racist. You literally hate white people and youre following a woman in a league you've never been interested in just so you can talk about how much this white girl sucks and then you go on and on arguing with everyone trying to prove you are right. You ignore or dismiss every bit of evidence that proves that youre wrong and it's all because you hate Clark. You can't see past your hate for her. It's all really pathetic. You're a pathetic loser, dude.

Bwahaha another load of garbage by this pathetic clown ROFL

1. I clearly stated I've watched the wnba playoffs every year dummy so I know this league

2. Lol "evidence proves you're wrong"?? WHERE YOU MORON?? Everything here is about OPINIONS you prick there is no official wrong or right other than when facts are presented. And the FACTS are your girl is 0-4 and has 26 turnovers in four games. If you think that's good then you have no clue about basketball.

3. YOU'RE the one who keeps bringing up her race. I guess that's why you're mad right? How dare anyone tell the truth about your brunette baller!! :deevee: :LOL:

The only good thing going for Indiana right now is they look good for getting their third number one pick in a row. And Paige paired up with Clark and Boston should be able to make some noise eventually.

You're like the black Hootie

Black, british Hootie. You ever listen to british "gangsta rap"

LMAO

UChiefy is ****ing jamming to this shit for sure.

Why are you bigots trying to tell me what race I am?? smh mind your own business my "race" is KC red :D

.

Yeah, I was forced to watch part of this game because it was on the same channel the NHL playoffs were going to be on. Saw Clark sprain her ankle in the replay. When she came back, it was obvious she wasn't 100%. I was actually surprised she made some of the shots that she made, considering.

Also, I heard during the game that she played 39 games before being drafted? Long season.


Other thing I noticed was that her team failed to make plays; missed shots, poor decisions, lack of team chemistry, etc. A few times it looked like Clark was alone out there.


Probably won't watch another WNBA game this season, unless they repeat the TV scheduling, but I won't be surprised if Clark looks better in a few weeks. She's not just a shooter, she's pretty multi-talented as far as I can tell, and that versatility is usually what helps young players be successful.

The funny thing is, Im kinda intrigued only bc id like to see her play well. Once she gets there I doubt I'll be interested. To me the pros are a lot more physical and swarming on defense but the offense just doesn't feel very explosive like it does in college. I caught around the end of the first half. She was doing pretty well pre injury. But the 4th quarter she was terrific until she was next level awful for a few minutes. But it was because her passing was next level and it seems like they finally figured out the pick and roll. I'm taking the Over on assists next game because at least shes starting to punish defenses for swarming her

I think she’s starting to click and the team is getting better working with her. But from the looks of it she’s not playing with a full deck. That #1 pick from last year looks like she misses an absurd amount of easy layups.

By far the easiest thing is she's gotta control her temper and stop playing flustered. Maybe that fiasco of a 4th is a good lesson because it may have costed them the game.

Yeah, and I don't know who it was, but clark made a really nice pass to one of her teammates for an easy lay-up that the girl just flat missed for the lead.


One other thing I noticed was that Clark was behaving like the leader of the team, trying to set up plays, trying to get her teammates to stay focused, etc., and she's the rook out there.

She'll probably turn out fine, but from what little I saw last night, she needs a lot more help on the floor.

Not the play you're referencing but something akin to it...

Yeah, I missed that one, probably happened before I started watching, but similar. The one I was thinking of, Clark made a similar pass, and her teammate put it up, but no spin and outside the box, so it never had a chance. I mean, perfect pass, girl was wide open for an easy lay-up, they're supposed to be pros.

Any dunks in those games?

Underrated post

For some reason I’m not able to embed lately, but here’s another play where she makes a nice pass and her teammate didn’t handle the ball. But Clark got charged a turnover on this play, that’s why I don’t pay too much attention to how many turnovers she has.

https://x.com/StockTalks21/status/17...ning-her-stats

I pay exactly 0% attention to the WNBA, or Clark besides this thread

But what little i've seen suggests she'll be just fine, she maybe just needed humbled a little in the pro ranks... they're setting some HARD picks for her naive ass, but she'll learn eventually

WNBA got CP by the balls.

Caitlin Clark is a man.

Everything I’ve seen she is pretty humble.

Admittedly I’m not watching but her teammates have to call out screens. At some level you have to be aware if your surroundings but if you’re guarding the ball your teammates have to call out screens.

That’s a weird hot take. I keep clicking on this thread hoping for nudes.

She’s pretty hot.

It's definitely a dude, everyone we see on TV is a tranny, no exceptions.

Bicycles, covid masks, and pretending your hand is a gun. That shit is gangsta as ****!

21 savage is from the UK right? He is dope AF !!!

Hot???

She is OK at best.

She’s not hot.

Cameron Brink is, tho.

Mods need to let me post links.

Well if she says so then it must be true.

21 savage is an ignorant piece of shit.

Indiana are now 0-5 with their narrow loss to 1-3 Seattle. This was suppose to be a team they could beat but Clark went 2/8 from three and 6/16 shooting. Teams are doubling the hell out of her and are forcing her to release the ball which is leading to turnovers (she had another three tonight which brings her tally to 29. The most in the league.) They were two points up In the last minute too so Clark must be pissed.

Posting about the WNBA at 4 in the morning

Lololol pathetic

LMAO

My exact thought was "What kind of weirdo cares enough about the WNBA to be posting about it at 4am?"

Someone who has doubled and tripled down on their dumb opinion and is desperate to not be wrong because they don't really have a great ego situation to begin with.

Imagine seeing a rookie getting triple teamed and her teammates can't use that as an advantage to score easily and thinking it's the rookie's fault they lose because of it.

Lol you Clark groupies are funny :D . Did I say it was ALL her fault? NO. But at the end of the day she has the hype!!..so I'll be judging her accordingly. Her shooting numbers were subpar..and there were more turnovers. But you're here crying about me? Grow up chump ROFL

If Caleb Williams has a rough start people will judge him too. But keep getting pissy about your princess buddy o:-) .

Keep crying clown ROFL

LMAO

The irony, when your entire presence in this thread is you essentially crying because of Clark's popularity and success.

You are blaming a rookie basketball player for her professional team's record which is a hilarious side to take.

Like, desperately hilarious.

Where? I'm following the wnba season and detailing how she's doing seeing as THIS IS A CLARK THREAD!!. Why are you guys getting so emotional about it? If Caleb has a rough start I'll judge him too so stop blubbering fgs ROFL

Where did I blame her solely? Please show me dummy?

Losers

So Angel Reese just beat 4-0 New York Liberty tonight to go 2-1. This is what WINNERS DO ya'll. Nomatter where they play, THEY WIN!!..hopefully certain other rookies can finally step up like Reese has.... :)

Caitlin Clark need a new coach.

The narrative around Caitlin would be entirely different if she were one of those male "transgenders" breaking into the WNBA. But since she's a white Christian she is fair game to be hated by the more inclusive, tolerant, loving-left.
