w87r Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 The announced attendance for tonight’s Sparks-Fever game at Crypto Arena is 19,103. That’s a sell out and a Sparks record. Capacity for Lakers home games is 18,997. Incredible. – via Twitter ArashMarkazi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w87r Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Lost tonight to go to 1-7, they are competing every night now though. Getting ready to look and see what game I want to go check out. Caitlin went for 30. Still struggling with 3pt shooting percentage and turnovers. 7 this game. I think the Fever need to talk Wheeler into the 6th Woman role. Let Clark and Boston cook with the 1's and Wheeler free reigns when Clark goes out. Although Clark only sat out 6 minutes tonight. Getting better everytime out. Remember they still have less than 2 months experience playing together. Adjustments are needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerColt Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/29/sport/caitlin-clark-wnba-history-indiana-fever-sparks-spt-intl Yes, the Fever are losing a lot. But Clark is definitely showing why she was the #1 overall pick. I’m viewing this season like Manning’s rookie year, lots of losses but enough good moments for a bright future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It is amazing how every player she goes against has a vengeance toward her. How these jealous WNBA stars talk crap about her. They just want to shut her down like their life depends on it. She had 30 last night, it is going to get a point where nobody will be able to stop her once she gets used to the physicality of the Pro game. Michael Jordan was the same way, it took him 3 years to start to dominate. She will hit the WT room in the off season, then she will average at least 25 points a game IMO. As the team gets better, opposing players won't be able to key on just her either. She needs a Pippen like Michael had. It will happen eventually, I think in 5 years, the Fever will win it all. Book it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Caitlin Clark scored 30 Points, had 8 Rebounds and 6 Assists last night in a Fever win. She also was 7-13 from 3. Fever got their 3rd win of the season, which was nice to see, hopefully they continue to improve. . These other WNBA women taking cheap shots on her and being jealous won't last long as she gets better. In the offseason my #1 priority for the Fever is to draft the biggest Brute of a lady out there to play Center. I guarantee you if that happens, a dirty play like Carter pulled will never happen again. Reese applauding what Carter did, shows her true colors, I can't stand her.

I hope so because I was ok with the Fever being bad again this season so they can draft in the top 5 to improve the team and put pieces around Clark. Boston is a pretty good player, but they need at least 2 more good players to be a threat to win any big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reese followed it up with a Flagrant 1 foul on Clark’s head. Clark is living rent free in Reece’s head. Reece needs to figure out if she wants to go the Bad Boys Piston route and fizzle or take the Shaq LSU route to become a perennial double double player in the WNBA. Right now, she’s just focused on being a bad girl in Caitlin Clark’s chapter instead of forging her own path. Having a teammate like Charlotte is actually detrimental to her, doesn’t do much for her game, choosing wrong styles over substance at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w87r Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 They better start protecting Clark a little more, instead of trying to initiate her into the W, or whatever they want to call it. https://awfulannouncing.com/wnba/celebrating-record-growth-historic-season-clark-reese.html "From attendance to social media interaction to streaming to television viewership, the WNBA is on a meteoric rise. Every game Indiana has played on national television so far this season has drawn high viewership. As far as attendance goes, the Fever is shattering franchise records left and right — surpassing last season’s total attendance (in 20 games) just five home games into the regular season. Sellouts at Gainbridge Fieldhouse have become the norm and Indiana has set the bar for average season attendance so far this season with 16,683 fans per game." To surpass the total attendance from 20 games last year in 5 this year, is crazy. That's just the local level. This article goes into numbers across the board. Worth a look at "WNBA merchandise sales have increased a whopping 236 percent, with Clark, Reese, and Brink ranking in the top five for jersey sales during the first week of the season. The WNBA App’s monthly active users are up 613 percent and League Pass subscriptions more than tripled in the first two weeks of the season with the highest average minutes watched in league history. Throughout the league, WNBA arenas filled to a 94 percent capacity, up 17 percent from last year." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re starting to work together now, it takes time and unfortunately for the women the draft happens and then they immediately turn around the season starts. Luckily for us they are starting to gel at the right time. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say the Fever can make the playoffs this year and maybe even surprise someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I would love to be their radio play by play guy for the next 15 years with Clark here. That would be a fun/nice laid back job because the WNBA isn’t the NBA so i wouldn't be magnified. I wouldn't even be nervous. I would do it for 60000 a year which is reasonable. I would still have to watch what I say because Angel Reese is a dirty player. Saying that is ok. I would try to be like Mark Boyle, although Lamey is the GOAT.

2006Coltsbestever Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Another team you can't sleep on are the Aces as well. Wilson is averaging like 28 points a game - leading the league.

RollerColt Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Diana Taurasi has been trashing on Clark and Indiana since April. And today the Fever finally had a chance to shut her mouth up. Fever win over the Mercury 88-82. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Clark and the Fever take out Taurasi and Griner and the Mercury. Clark had 15 Points, 12 Assists, and 9 Rebounds in an 88-82 win against a good Mercury team. The win keeps the Fever in the 8th Playoff Spot at 8-12. Clark had her typical Magic Johnson type game today, where she won without scoring a lot of points. She controlled the game with her pinpoint passing recording 12 assists which set up 24 points for other teammates. Also had 9 rebounds that allowed the Fever to run the fast break and get easy points. Best win of the season IMO because Taurasi and Griner both have been talking trash towards Clark all season. This win and beating Reese's Sky twice so far are signature wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 8 teams get in. The Linx are coached by Cheryl Reeve who is going to coach of the USA Olympic Team. Before the game she was blowing questions off and being rude about Clark not being on the team. Clark got wind of it and Clark took it personal. At the end of the game, Clark was seen clapping in front of Reeve's face, staring her down in front of a sellout crowd at Minnesota in which 75% of the people were Fever fans . Poke the Polar Bear, that is what you get . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
