@IndianaFever @VisitIndy I was planning on driving 12 hours round-trip for 2 games this yr like I did last year. I just can't with this coach, style of play, poor roster construction, and lack of Front Office accountability.

@power_ties I cancelled mine too. I've had at least 4 games I couldn't even finish because they were so bad.

I started taping CC's games so I could start them 30 min late and fast forward through anything but play Then I told my wife to tell me when Caitlin checked by back in during replay Then I got to the point where I could not finish games Today my wife & I cancelled our W Pass

@sohali2012 Hell no we don't need Smith. Forget that. Trade Mitchell for player and a high draft pick.

This is no good. Go get her, Amber. Restructure the deal. Send them Mo.

@LainaT480440 I know what you mean. Mitchell hasn't improved her game at all in 9 years. She's only a 1 dimensional scorer and that's all she can contribute. Yet the Fever gives her a max contract screwing roster construction.

I really don’t want this to happen but…. We really bout to see a HC potentially get fired all because a flawed player refused to work on her game, to the team’s detriment. Nasty work bruh😩

@IndianaFever Did she get a severance check with her happy birthday card? She needed to.

wishing a happy birthday to head coach Stephanie White! 🥳❤️

@thesportscuz @mofaya_ @Ser_Dweeb I replied to your previous comment (about not being in Iowa) and not your last one; or meant to anyway. Besides, this is sports. I don't have to build up with every comment and can provide my opinion as I like. Just like you did with Caitlin not being in Iowa anymore.

@Major_Mike @mofaya_ @Ser_Dweeb I’m not sure you read my reply because your response is just tearing down teammates and comparing them and showing ignorance. No other fanbase is like the Fever and it’s weird how teammates of Caitlin have to be put down to raise her up from some of ya’ll 😂

This offense never reaching its ceiling until Caitlin WANTS to get Kelsey the ball consistently outside of just back cuts. Can KM demand the ball more? Sure. Can Steph run plays for her? Yes. The fact that if either doesn’t happen, she can go 5 mins without a touch is unreal.

@sohali2012 You'd be better off trying to get Olivia Nelson-Odhoda from the Sun than Smith.

I have offer to Fever FO. Go make a trade. Alanna Smith having a bad year, not playing. Billings having a bad year, not playing much either. You can’t tell me Alanna stopped knowing how to play defense and shoot the ball. Restructure her deal, bring salary to $800k this year to match Mo . And defer money over to 3rd year. She nay need change from Wings and do does Mo. Need a shake up .

@shahartley I'd say yes to Grace, but no to Hall. Hall is a decent defender but she's a liability on offense. I'd rather they play Pissot instead of her.

Bree Hall has been on the bench instead of being activated for a couple of games where the Fever could use the defense. Grace VanSlooten plays defense & is on a standard contract, but is also riding the bench. Both are also two-way players. Stephanie White's rotations have been questionable. #WNBA

Olivia Miles tonight 🤣 7 points 1/10 FG 10% 0/4 3PA 0% 6 TOs Olivia Miles finally had some defense put on her and it shows. Don’t ever compare her to the GOAT Caitlin Clark again. A liability on defense getting blown by every play, but of course the Lynx have a team that helps rotate with help defense.

Fever net points updated. I thought Raven will kill it on defense but it has not been the case yet. Ty Harris rank 13 on this chart but has not played much.

Post game press conference with the head coach...2 minutes and 34 seconds. Not a single question about challenging foul calls, not a single question about why the team didn't attack angel Reese when she had 4 fouls. But hey, that Indiana Fever media does a great job of recording practice & warm-ups with their phones turned sideways, am I right? The coach is far too insulated with positive reinforcement, and it shows.

@mikeed172531 @Sudharsan_ak Whatever. It's your opinion. What also sucks is having the most blocked shot attempts in the league.

@Major_Mike @Sudharsan_ak Nah I watched Angel fry her ass know. Timpson sucks

Fever do not stand a chance yesterday vs Dream without Caitlin. Ofcourse she gets screwed by the refs with stupid calls and she had to sit on the bench for too long. But look at the scoring outside the big 3. Just disgusting. Supporting cast did not do anything to help them.

@thesportscuz @mofaya_ @Ser_Dweeb She sure better be (although only by less than a point) because she sure as heck cannot do anything else. BTW Caitlin was also the 3rd all-time leader in assists in college and scored better than Mitchell, as she did her rookie year too.

@mofaya_ @Major_Mike @Ser_Dweeb You feed off the defense and what they give. I know the Logo 3’s are exciting to fans but this isn’t Iowa… Have to get AB the ball in the post and also let Kelsey cook too. So I wouldn’t say it has to be in CC hands the most. If she is hot sure.

@mikeed172531 @Sudharsan_ak Oh no you can read a box score 👍🏽😎

@Major_Mike @Sudharsan_ak Angel 21 points… timpson 6. Advantage Angel

@iknowWhiteGold If White keeps playing her at the 3 point line vs in the post she'll always be hit or miss. The best center in the league can't be the best if your goal is to make her only a point center.

AB is not consistent at all. You never know what you’re gonna get with her

@harri626 @kenswift @Ser_Dweeb Yeah, but if Mitchell leaves you have $1.4M to get two better quality players to support the team. That's what it's going to take to build a team. If the Front Office doesn't f'up roster construction again.

@kenswift @Ser_Dweeb if kelsey leaves, the fever are in even more trouble next season, because lexie and mo and dantas are on multiple year contracts and not contributing, and media blitz made indianna seem horrible, so

I’m with @Ser_Dweeb on this one. Kelz was left out of the offense almost this whole game, helped bring us back, and I’m seeing people post a turnover of hers like she’s supposed to be perfect. If Kelsey leaves next season, I’m not sure who they think we will get that will play flawless basketball.

@Ser_Dweeb @mofaya_ It's debatable Mitchell is the best scorer: less than 1 point. The problem is when she gets the ball she gets tunnel vision too often. This isn't Ohio State and it would be nice if she diversified her game by keeping her head up while she dribbles and see the rest of the court.

@mofaya_ Yeah you’re right it’s perfectly fine that our best scorer doesn’t touch the ball for long stretches. Nothing to fix.

@mikeed172531 @Sudharsan_ak And Angel was getting stripped by Timpson a few times

@Major_Mike @Sudharsan_ak Timpson was getting fried by Angel.

@WNBALead Yeah she is wrong when you chicken wing a player around the shoulder and head area.

Well she’s not wrong 👀

@alknowsstuff @Hero_OfThe_Day @SwinCash @WNBA I thought she was talking about Mitchell when she puts on her blinders hunting for a shot opportunity

@Hero_OfThe_Day @SwinCash @WNBA I thought we wanted players to critique the game?

“When the ball stays in her hands a little bit longer, there’s stretches where other players aren’t getting any touches” 🤡 @SwinCash blames Caitlin Clark, who put up 26/7, for Indiana’s struggles. It’s obvious these former @WNBA players just don’t like her, right?? 😂
