My favorite team since the 90 Bull's. I hope they all stay healthy and together.

Congrats to our girls all playing amazing and props to NaLyssa Smith she had a tough start but seems like she has figured out how to fit in this team and we are starting to see the beast from Baylor we know and love!

[franuche]

Smith has been killer the last couple games! Great D, great hustle on both ends.

[wendyduehr]

I loved the broadcaster's call on the dime under the basket from Kelsey to NaLyssa. A nice little fresh pastry from Kelsey Mitchell to NaLyssa Smith. 🤣

[PHaRGoTH]

that play in Dallas; Clark to Kelsey to Nalyssa make score, just reflects what Caitlin said some time ago: "confidence is contagious"

[bmwiowner]

NyLyssa Smith - Great to hear from you!

[mikewalker]

Sides improving too. She’s becoming a better game coach. In game adjustments, substituting and timely timeouts are all getting better. She deserves her flowers 💙🏀

[sambell]

If the pass from Mitchell to Smith wasn't practiced then the team has learned to be ready at all times for ball. Good coaching.

Loved how Nalyssa and Temi have stepped up big. AB has been bangin hard and gets clamped down physically by double teams. Its importan for Fever to have other inside threats which would remove some heavy pressure for Boston to tough it out alone. In fact stats wise, Nalyssa has taken over Aliyahs numbers in the last two games. Thats sort of an in games management since they are making a playoff run. Temi picking up on Bostons defensive numbers and Nalyssa on her offense. Come playoff time this will be important. Hope Kelsey dont run out of gas in the playoff. Her playstyle reminds me of Jordan Carkson so much, .its scary shes a flamethrower. Hope she dosnt also get the Clarkson playoff woes.
CC effect is awesome as the whole team is sharing the ball, making good plays. CC effect is rubbing off to all her team mates.

Nalissa has shown much better energy and attitude lately. She seems to be adapting to the faster pace of play well. AB has been double teamed a lot lately so hopefully she will get a chance to throw some

[petegarnett]

NaLyssa is fitting in better than in the early season and she and the team are gaining from it. If she and AB are on the court at the same time, they need to have clearly defined roles or there is a danger of them clashing. It 's all part of the team growing process and it is still ongoing.

NO lip gloss, NO triple-layer eyelashes, NO hair extensions, NO additions to the uniform,
NO makeup, NO jewelry, NO LOOK AT ME!
How can The Fever outshine us just playing basketball? And smiling?

[victorforeman]

It’s awesome to make the playoffs on your day off. Go fever

[sruler]

She’s definitely the most versatile big we have on offense - inside, out, off the dribble

[lucysalas]

I like the way you are playing, especially under the bb goal and get the rebounds

[larrywilson]

The team has transitioned into a great team because of Caitlin Clark and nothing else

[Kossi-th]

I am glad we saw them evolved from "it s me" to "we can do it together".it s really beautiful.I hope they will read our comments and understand how beautiful they are as a team.

[victorforeman]

Dantus has been playing well to she needs some run

[TonyGalla-kwhw]

Nice to hear from Smith and Hull. They represent the Fevers with class.
