Caitlin Clark Waved Off by Both Kelsey Mitchell & Christie Sides

#caitlinclark #wnba

Caitlin Clark had another record-setting game in the Indiana Fever's crushing loss to the Washington Mystics on Wednesday. Despite Clark leading the charge to cut the deficit from 21 to 3 in the fourth quarter, guard Kelsey Mitchell and Coach Christie Sides waved her off, each in her own way.

Caitlin had 5 steals in this game...but she took her out when she wanted to get a steal. ROFL! Tell me that's not ridiculous on its own, smh. Thank you for breaking it down, I love your clear analysis! Give the hot hand the ball in a close game...Caitlin was the hot hand in that quarter. How does Sides not know that? There are just no words.

[accent]

Coach Sides' thinking: Man, we need a steal. Time to take out the girl who has five steals in this very game.

[lovingwithoutborders]

I was at the game, CC was so upset coach called that time out at the min mark, She yelled "dont call that time out" we had the mystics on their heals and gave them time to reset. I have to agree with CC you have to let the game play out here. I want to like Sides and give her Grace.. but she is making it hard.

[alipotter]

To take out your best player, best stealer, best shooter when you need a steal and a 3 point shot to tie? That is next level crazy.
The Iowa coach kept CC on the floor in games as much as possible, that was not favouritism, it was common sense.

[dog_pound]

At Iowa Clark was the team’s general. The offense ran through her, and everyone was on board, coach and teammates. As a result, they far exceeded expectations given their size, talent, etc. relative to other teams. If the Fever would simply follow Iowa’s example, they would obviously be a better team and have more wins. I can understand their hesitation at the beginning of the season: giving a rookie full command. But now Clark has proven herself beyond a doubt. You can see she’s a five-star general on the court, but she’s being waved off and undermined by her lieutenants. In basketball and the military, breaking chain of command is disastrous to your strategy and morale. As a veteran, Mitchell is probably embarrassed to hand over leadership to Clark, especially in critical moments. Her act of waving Clark off was pure egoism. That’s very destructive. Even if they replace Mitchell with a lesser talent, the team would do much better.

CC had 5 steals and 3 blocks and she is a defensive liability? Fire that coach already.

[JS-nktn]

Yup, Kelsey wanted to play hero ball. I don't like her unpredictability. And Sides is a joke. I can't stand her idiotic decisions...needs to go.

[Zippcodey-bs]

Sides should have benched Mitchell right on the spot and explain to her that she should have passed it to Caitlin since Caitlin was hot and Mitchell was not.

[chrisbacon]

Totally agree. CC was a spectator at the end of the game. The problem is Sides. Sides doesn't seem to see Mitchell's play as a problem. She's a shooter and doesn't see the floor. Meanwhile, Sides downplays CC's performance saying, " She's showing improvement". I wonder if Sides wanted Clark on her team. Fire Sides

[michaelflatters]

CC has more steals than the rest of the team combined and she’s the defensive liability???😅

[jodale]

CC had more steals in this game than anyone but you take her out in hopes of getting a steal??? Truly embarrassing level of stupid for Coach Sides. At this point, CC should only come out of the game when she asks for a rest. At this point, CC should be allowed to run this team as a veteran point guard is allowed to do in most cases. She is clearly smarter than the coach .

[bofootball]

How is Sides not fired after this game. Omg she is awful

[borderwall]

C.C, is the first woman to break a record, while getting an award for breaking a record she was the first women while winning an award at the ESPYS, and ESPN brushes is under the rug She was the first woman to ever win 'best record-breaking performance ESPY award .

[gregmiller]

Sides' strategy:
1. We need a steal. Let's substitute out the player with five steals who's led this comeback.
2. We need a three. Let's send the player who is 5-9 (with 15 points in the quarter) to the far side away from the ball so we can set up a shot for a player who is 0-7.

[BMA]

If I need a steal, why would I take the player that understands passing lanes out of the game. Who had the most steals and blocked shots? Please explain how she is a liability.

[noprisonplanet]

She lets the other team go on a huge run, , without calling time-out, but when HER team is hot, she call time-out.
It's almost as she wants to humiliate CC by taking her out when they need something big. WHICH TEAM MATE HAS SHE CLEARLY PULLED FOR A SPECIFIC PLAY LIKE THAT.
She's jealous of CC too and is undermining her team's success because of it. Who's paying her money to sabotage her team?

[anniegarrett]

If we are this frustrated, I can't imagine how CC must be feeling.

[stevehardwick]

5 steals, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks and she's a defensive liability?

[asherbrijalba]

Typical behavior from those 2. CC played well but im tired of seeing the league, her coach, espn and certain teamates work against her. On top of that seeing AR stat padding in a desperate attempt to keep her double double streak alive sickens me. Its bush league play and ruins the fair level of competition, it makes the W look bad and is disrespectful to the game.

[gregglass]

Sides is undoubtedly trying to sabotage CC. Even a blind person listening to a Fever game on the radio would be able to see what she is doing.
