Seeing Clark stand her ground against her opponent made me very proud. Fight back!

[steveking]

We love you guys... hang in there. Just hang in there. They're guarding CC like she's Fort Knox.

[slayer]

I really liked her answer to the double tech foul question, she kept it short and to the point, without trash talk

[jeaniekim]

NaLyssa, great job running the floor to get those fast break buckets. The hustle to be there to grab those assists and get the bucket.
Congrats on the 1000 career points.
Wish the team got the W, but still supporting and looking forward the future.

[bgoomba]

CC is getting hammered constantly. These refs are terrible.

[lindysmallwood]

Both these ladies had great stats.
Caitlyn your second wind will come. Smith played great too

[awkwrdjoke]

Sides calling out the officials! Finally!! Acknowledging CC getting bashed the whole game fi nally!!!

[RichardPuou]

People are pounding Caitlin big time and don't get called for foul. When she just barely touches the defender, she gets called.

[celinebeanie]

Caitlin always does well in every game. she's a dawg

[tyfunk]

The wnba needs to do something about these refs. There were 4 or 5 missed calls on obvious falls on cc alone not to even mention the other miss calls for the rest of the team. It's been fever vs the refs the whole season, they are allowing teams to be over physically with the fever but not allowing them to be physical back. The possession that really made me angry was when Caitlin clearly took a charge on loyd on the post up and there was no call and then cc comes back down an clearly gets clobbered on a layup and no call. It's just absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you for speaking up about the fouls coach! Its been all season..especially on CC and AB.

[roryvalenz]

These comments are always so brutal. Don’t be fair weather fans. This is a talented team. CC is a generational player and deserves good fans. It’s a rebuild. Stay positive. They need that. They say they don’t read what’s on socials, but they do. It’s everywhere. It’ll get better.

[vicster]

this schedule has been brutal, they need rest. respect for how they have made it thru this marathon. Whoever made the schedule is going to kill the golden goose.

[Juke]

Thank you coach for sticking up for Clark and your players! Now that’s a real coach! 👍 👍 👍

[Babz]

The coach is not wrong the calls are not coming for the fever. I don’t understand it! But it is 100% the truth.

[waxyblaze]

I’ve gained a lot of respect for Sides tonight watching her finally fight for Caitlin against the bs no calls, and then having the guts to openly criticise the officiating, schedule, and lack of practice time in the press conference. They really were dealt a shitty hand by the WNBA with this schedule, so they could squeeze as much publicity out of Clark as quickly as possible. & the refs consistently allowing her to get rocked night after night without calling it, it’s a recipe for injury and burnout. I’ve been very critical of Sides the last few games for the poor decision making and lack of assertiveness on the court, but she’s finally stepping up and fighting for her team instead of criticising them. She gained a lot of trust and respect from Caitlin, and the rest of the girls tonight. Her going to battle for them will make them want to go to battle for her in return. That’s how you build confidence, always have their backs. I hope you can block out all this negative energy and keep pushing. We’re rooting for you coach.

[Copterman]

NaLyssa made a statement tonight. WTG girl!

[colaups]

Caitlin does her job every game. She is getting hard fouls that the ref is not calling. However, she and the team will be alright.

[nancy]

CC and NS are my favorite players. A good team together.

[keshealm]

The way CC isn't being protected by anybody makes me sad.😢
