Saw a little of the game. Not digging the wnba much. It seems a lot more physical but also clunkier. She needs to get better, but her coach and teammates aren't doing her any favors. It's weird that they keep spacing her in the corner or running these lazy pick and rolls which only get her doubled. She needs time to adjust but she'll be fine. The game clearly needs her because everyone else on the court is boring AF. [Reply]

It'll be a shame if the WNBA wastes this opportunity because the league itself wasn't prepared for the players that were coming.
The offense was really weird. They had a point guard that had no interest in running the offense through Clark. Her role is to stand on the corner which seems like the worst spot to put her. When Clark took point and they plugged in a shooting guard, clark went on a run. When they pick and rolled, their #1 pick last year didn’t roll and clark ended up in a trap. And even still that #1 pick was missing wide open layups. So yeah it’s a combo or clark being very raw, her teammates showing why they were last last year, but also the coaching seems pretty bad because it seems like they’re badly misusing her
And then I don’t get why the wnba set this up so that the next 2 games are against the same damn opponents. Doesn’t make sense. [Reply]

You're in here going game by game talking about how she's getting owned in her first and second games as a rookie as if it somehow supports your theory that she is overrated or whatever. I really can't be bothered anymore to read your posts in detail to be honest [Reply]

Clark was 1/7 from three and 2/8 overall and wasn't getting to the foul line much either. She also had three turnovers. She was just poor on the night regardless of the coaching and her teammates not performing. [Reply]
How does not ONE single person on Caitlin Clark’s team not call that screen out to her? Shout it. Over and over and over until she hears you. This is taught in middle school.

He's by far one of the most obvious racists on this entire site . [Reply]

She had some decent threes and some lovely assists but once again eight turnovers undermined her performance. They were better this game but clearly they aren't on new york's level.
Meanwhile Angel Reese just won her first game!!..chew on that haters :-) [Reply]
